Gao Shijie suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I understand."

"After Sikong Ren was defeated, he returned to the demon realm, but he must have seen through Zhong Shishu's feelings for Pei Zhi."

Liu Meiniang continued Gao Shijie's words, "Therefore, the Demon Lord returned to the Demon Realm, and he was definitely unwilling. Subsequently, the ancient tree had an accident, and everything can be traced back to that."

Gao Shijie hesitated for a moment, "Is it really the Demon Lord?"

"It's pretty much a done deal. The Demon Lord was injured and returned to the Demon Realm. His woman was taken away, and the ancient tree is trying to absorb his cultivation."

Liu Meiniang said anxiously, "In that case, my father and the others must have discovered something, which is why they were locked up."

"Oh no, my dad and the others are definitely in danger."

Gao Shijie was stunned for a moment, then realized, "The Demon Lord probably won't take their lives, right?"

Liu Meiniang retorted, "If he can harm an ancient tree, what else can't he do?"

As soon as Gao Shijie met Liu Meiniang, they had already figured out most of the details.

“This can’t go on.” Liu Meiniang’s eyes darkened slightly. “If the ancient tree really dies, the world will truly descend into chaos.”

Gao Shijie also understood the importance of the matter, "Yes, when the time comes, your Demon Lord will definitely come to the cultivation world to seek revenge."

Liu Meiniang quickly patted Gao Shijie's shoulder, "My father and the others have been locked up. I'm all alone now and can't do anything. I can only rely on you."

"Me?" Gao Shijie pointed to himself. "You intend for me to persuade the Demon Lord?"

Liu Meiniang sighed wearily, "If I really had no other choice, I definitely wouldn't have paid any attention to you."

Liu Meiniang composed herself and gave Gao Shijie some instructions.

"Go back to the cultivation world now and tell the elders of the Tianyuan Sect what we have deduced. Let them find a way to get Pei Zhi to see Sikong Ren."

Liu Meiniang said solemnly, "Sikong Ren has gone mad. He doesn't care about the future of the demon realm. Only Pei Zhi can persuade him to stop, otherwise, the world will really be in chaos."

"Okay, I'll go now." Gao Shijie thought for a moment, then added, "Why don't you come back with me? What if you get captured if you go back to the demon realm now?"

"Don't worry, I'm not going back to the demon realm. I'll stay here, and it'll be convenient for me to go anywhere."

Linglong Town is located at the border between the demon realm and the cultivation world, making it convenient to go anywhere.

Gao Shijie told Liu Meiniang to be careful, and then hurried back to his sect to report the news.

Upon hearing the news, Gao Feng jumped to his feet. "What did you say?"

Pei Tianming pressed further, "Is what you're saying true?"

Gao Feng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this is no small matter, you mustn't be mistaken."

"Absolutely right, I can guarantee it with my life."

Gao Shijie's certainty caused Pei Tianming and Gao Fengzhu to both frown.

Gao Fengzhu murmured, "Has Sikong Ren gone mad?"

In the world of cultivation, inheritance is more important than anything else.

How could Sikong Ren destroy the foundation of the demon realm that has stood for so many years for his own selfish desires?

What will happen to the demon realm if the ancient tree is gone? Sikong Ren has absolutely gone mad.

"Sikong Ren is using some crooked methods now. He is definitely absorbing the cultivation of the ancient tree. After that, the cultivation world will probably be in great danger."

The ancient tree of the demon realm is a supreme treasure, having nurtured countless generations of demon lords; the power it contains is self-evident.

Gao Feng sighed, "Sikong Ren is willing to destroy the foundation of the demon realm, even if it means doing so."

Upon hearing this, Gao Shijie murmured, "If it were me, I would have gotten my revenge too."

His fiancée was stolen, and he was almost killed by his rival. If he can't get revenge, what's the point of living?

Are we supposed to curl up like a turtle hiding its head?

Gao Feng glared at Gao Shijie, signaling him to shut up.

Gao Shijie shrugged. In any case, he believed that it was Uncle Zhong who had acted unfairly.

They stole Sikong Ren's fiancée and even tried to kill him.

Because Uncle Zhong was family, everyone pretended that nothing had happened.

Pei Tianming coughed twice. "Now, we need to find a way to stop it."

Gao Feng hesitated for a moment, "I wonder if we should invite the sect leaders of each sect to come and discuss this?"

Pei Tianming refused without even thinking, "No way."

Inviting them here would mean letting them know everything, wouldn't it?

In that case, where will he put his face?

Master Gaofeng advised, "If we don't inform everyone, and if Sikong Ren attacks the cultivation world in the future, they won't even be prepared. Wouldn't that be..."

Gao Shijie didn't dare to speak at this moment, as he also knew the seriousness of the matter.

Pei Tianming got up and paced back and forth, clearly pondering what he should do.

Are we to disregard the safety of everyone in the cultivation world just to save face for him?

Pei Tianming finally sighed, "Let's send them a letter and invite them over for a get-together. At least let them have some time to prepare."

Gao Feng immediately bowed and said, "I'll take care of it right away."

Compared to the hustle and bustle outside, Pei Zhi's life on Wuwang Peak was truly isolated from the world.

Of course, she wasn't idle either. Every morning she practiced swordsmanship, and in the afternoon she was dragged by Zhong Changyuan to read books together.

The only time I can truly rest is at night.

That day, Zhong Changyuan took out a ruler and said he wanted to measure Pei Zhi's body.

"Didn't you already buy so many clothes when you went down the mountain?"

While taking Pei Zhi's measurements, Zhong Changyuan said, "I'm planning to make you a wedding dress."

Pei Zhi was stunned. Afraid that she had misheard, she asked again, "What did you say?"

"Wedding dress, the beginning of next month is an auspicious day, how about we set the wedding date for that day?"

If hair could be frizzy, Pei Zhi's hair would definitely be frizzy.

"Master, you..."

Pei Zhi tried her best to comply with Zhong Changyuan, and if he didn't want to go out, then he wouldn't go out.

She did whatever Zhong Changyuan told her to do.

As a result, Zhong Changyuan's madness became even more obvious.

"Don't call me master anymore. In a few days, I won't be your master anymore."

Pei Zhi forced a smile, "Master... no, isn't it good enough for the two of us like this? There's no need for a wedding or anything."

Zhong Changyuan held Pei Zhi's waist and measured her waistline: "I know you're worried. Don't worry, I won't announce the wedding to the world."

Pei Zhi was not at ease upon hearing this.

"At that time, we will only invite the sect leader and others to come and be witnesses."

Zhong Changyuan seemed to understand and said, "In this way, it's perfectly legitimate for us to stay together every day."

"Who are those people waiting?" Pei Zhi asked curiously. Could it be what she was thinking?

"It's probably someone who knows about our relationship. Oh, we also need to invite the Demon Lord from the Demon Realm. I just don't know if he'll be willing to come."

Pei Zhi felt a chill run down her spine. It was all over. It was really all over.
