Yu Yanluo replied, "The way the demon race does things is quite different from that of the human race. They value bloodlines and respect the strong. If I am still here, no matter what Elders Bai and Qing do, I will still be the clan leader. But if something happens to me, it will be useless for Xingnu to stay in the clan and do a lot of things. So it's better to let her stay with me."

The others nodded secretly. They had indeed learned a lot about the demon race this time, but listening to various intelligence reports could not compare to on-site investigation.

At this moment, Yan Xuehen said, "I probably won't go to the royal court. I'll leave once I've escorted you to the vicinity of the royal court."

Yun Jianyue nodded as well: "Me too. I've thought about it carefully these past few days. Even at our peak, the two of us combined wouldn't be a match for the Demon Emperor, let alone now. Moreover, our identities are special; we don't live for ourselves. If our identities are discovered in the royal court, the consequences would be unimaginable."

He paused, then looked at Zu'an: "Furthermore, we advise you not to enter the Demon Clan Royal Court. The person who gave you the Golden Crow Token may not have had any good intentions. Although your cultivation is quite good now, the Royal Court is full of experts. If you really enter there, your life and death will not be in your own hands."

Although Yu Yanluo really wanted to be with Zu'an, she was more worried about his safety: "That's right, Zu'an, you should leave with them. You have a lot of things to deal with in Cloud City."

Zuan shook his head: "The Demon Emperor has summoned you to the royal court. There must be many dangers ahead. How can I let you go alone?"

Yan Xuehen said, "If the Demon Emperor really intends to harm them, your going won't stop anything; it will only result in one more person losing their life."

Yun Jianyue nodded and said, "This time I am taking over the Ice Stone Maiden. Whether you go or not will not affect Yu Yanluo's safety. On the contrary, it will put you in danger. Have you forgotten that you defeated the Golden Crow Prince before? No matter how magnanimous the Demon Emperor is, he will still have some grudges. He may use you to establish his authority. If you go, it will only increase her danger."

Zuan was originally determined to accompany Yu Yanluo, but upon hearing that it would bring her danger, he hesitated.

Meanwhile, within a mansion in the royal court, a burly voice suddenly rose to his feet: "What? Super-tier talent?"

“That’s right. According to the intelligence sent back by the informant in the palace, the blood spilled from that person’s battle with the Golden Crow Prince fell on the Golden Chariot, which was discovered by the Demon Emperor during his inspection.” A voice came from the shadows.

"The legendary super-tier talent! It's a difficult situation that allowed him to defeat the Golden Crow Prince," the burly voice suddenly became breathless. "I wonder if the super-tier essence blood will be of any use to that old codger in his current state... but it will be of great use to me."

"Pass down the order: obtain him at all costs, and do not allow him to reach the royal court!"

"Yes, sir!"
