Bi Linglong nodded slightly: "I understand."

Liu Ning glanced at her with some surprise, thinking to herself that this woman was usually so arrogant when she argued with me, but she became like a little wife in front of Azu. Tsk tsk tsk, Azu really knows how to handle women.

Zuan and the two women discussed some more details of court affairs before reluctantly ending the call.

Then he tried to call out to the Little Demon Queen's audio-visual mirror, but there was no response.

His heart sank. She might have been too busy summoning troops to support the sealed land at first, so she didn't have time to contact him. But now, even when he called her, she didn't have time to connect.

This only proves that either the situation on her side has become extremely critical, or... something has happened to her.

Previously, Yun Jianyue also couldn't be contacted through the audio-visual mirror, and as expected, something terrible had happened. If I hadn't arrived in time, she probably would have already perished.

As for the Little Demon Queen... hopefully she'll make it in time!

He activated the Wind and Fire Wheels with all his might, even using his own vital energy to assist, and his speed increased by another 40%.

Working day and night without rest, he passed through the territory of the snake clan and, after thinking for a moment, went down to inquire about the situation.

As expected, Yu Yanluo was not here. The snake clan elders mentioned that the Little Demon Queen had recently called on experts from all races to support the sealed land. The clan leader was the first to respond, leading the clan's experts, as well as Xiaobai, Xiaoqing, and others, to the sealed land.

Even Yu Yanluo went...

Zuan tried to contact Yu Yanluo using the video mirror, but found that he could not reach her either, which made him even more anxious.

Ignoring the snake clan's warm entreaties to stay, and without even having a sip of tea, he embarked on his journey once more.

After flying for a while longer, looking down at the familiar royal palace, Zuan felt a little dazed.

So we've arrived in Qingqiu Kingdom. It's full of fox spirits here. I had a wonderful memory with Tu Shanyu, the ruler of Qingqiu Kingdom, right here in the sky.

Just then, a large bird flew up from the palace below, carrying a graceful woman on its back. Her delicate and beautiful face, her hair flowing in the wind, and her light blue dress gave her an innocent and pure look. However, her foxy eyes were captivating, and her fluffy tail swayed behind her. She truly blended the two completely different qualities of innocence and foxiness perfectly.

"I wonder which senior has arrived... Regent!" Tu Shanyu was initially a little apprehensive, but upon seeing the other person's appearance, she was overjoyed.

Zu An reached out and gently pulled her into his arms: "Long time no see!"

Tu Shanyu tiptoed and kissed him directly.

That passionate yet somewhat awkward kiss, coupled with the unique fragrance of the Qingqiu tribe, almost ignited Zu'an's desire in an instant.

However, he knew that important matters were at hand, so he quickly composed himself.

At this moment, Tu Shanyu reluctantly let go, her face flushed: "Did you come here this time because of the Sealed Land?"

"You found out too?" Zu'an took the opportunity to ask her for relevant information.

"A few days ago, the royal court sent a decree from the Little Demon Queen, ordering the clan leaders of each clan to lead their elite troops to the sealed land to provide support. She said that the demon race has reached a critical moment of life and death. Our Qingqiu clan is not good at fighting, and our skills are useless against those otherworldly demons, so we don't need to go to the front line. We can stay here and take care of some logistical work."

Zu'an was secretly alarmed when he heard this. The little demon queen had actually used words about life and death: "Do you know what exactly happened in the sealed land?"

Tu Shanyu frowned slightly: "There are many rumors over there. Some say that the Second Prince was bewitched by demons and betrayed the demon race; some say that the Second Prince's subordinates were dissatisfied with being endlessly trapped in the bottomless pit of the Sealed Land, so they coerced him to escape with them; others say that the Second Prince has already died in battle in the Sealed Land... There are all sorts of rumors, and it's impossible to tell the truth from the falsehood. The only thing that's certain is that something has indeed happened in the Sealed Land."

Zu An frowned: "What about the military supervisor left behind by the imperial court?"

Nobody's stupid. It was obvious that the plan was to send the Second Prince to the sealed land to deplete his elite troops. The Demon Clan Royal Court was certainly on guard against him, so they left an army behind to monitor them and react immediately if they made any unusual moves.

“No news has come from that army; it’s as if everyone has disappeared,” Tu Shanyu replied.

Zuan's expression changed; it seemed the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

After asking for some other information, Zu'an took out the seal of the Demon Regent King, wrote some official documents, and handed them to Tu Shanyu: "After a while, the human reinforcements will head north. You take my order and notify the checkpoints along the route to let them pass, and at the same time, prepare food and other supplies."

Tu Shanyu's expression turned solemn: "I will not fail in my mission!"

At the same time, her gaze towards him became even sweeter. She had been worried that he was just using her as a plaything, but since he was willing to let her appear as his representative, it was obviously not that kind of situation.

At this moment, in the capital city of the human race, Xie Daoyun was arguing with Xie Xiu until their faces were red: "Absolutely not! You are the only son of the Xie family, you absolutely cannot go to the sealed land."

"Aren't you also an only child? If you can go, why can't I?" Xie Xiu said with a smile.

“I’m a woman, so it’s different!” Xie Daoyun glared at her younger brother angrily. “It’s one thing for you to flirt with women all the time, but this is a matter of principle, and it’s absolutely unacceptable.”

At this moment, Xie Xiu sighed: "When the demons from beyond the heavens invade and the world is facing a life-or-death crisis, I, Xie Xiu, am often called a pretty boy and a sissy by those jealous men. But I am a real man, how can I cowardly hide in the back?"

Xie Daoyun said sternly, "With our parents not around, I can't let you act recklessly. I'll go on behalf of the Xie family."

At this moment, Xie Xiu laughed and said, "Let me put it in a way that you can understand. So many disciples in the academy have signed up to follow the High Priest to fight the enemy, including many female disciples. If I stay here because I'm afraid of death, my reputation will be ruined, and how will I pick up girls then?"

Xie Daoyun: "..."

Such scenes are also seen in countless families in Beijing.

Inside the Regent's Palace, Qin Wanru slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "No, absolutely not! You Zhao, you can't go!"

Chu Youzhao on the other side immediately became anxious: "Why? Even Qinghe can go!"

Qin Wanru was equally anxious: "You are the only son of our Chu family. If something happens to you, what will your parents do? What will happen to all the people in the Chu family?"

Back then, they went through so much trouble to ensure that the title of Duke Mingyue could be passed on smoothly. How could they let their efforts go to waste at this moment?
