Meiji covered her mouth, giggling uncontrollably until her body trembled with laughter, captivating the demons around her. Even Li Sisui couldn't help but glance at Meiji until a cold snort came from behind him, snapping him back to reality. He instantly snapped out of it, his gaze fixed straight ahead, devoid of any desire or ambition...

Hearing the burst of laughter from the crowd, Yao Shiba was initially confused. After a moment, he realized what was happening. Looking at Li Sisui, who was smiling broadly, he felt a bit annoyed and chuckled as he scolded:

"If you're so capable, then let's have a real fight. Always resorting to these fancy tricks, you really can't shake off the inherent flaws of human cultivators—opportunism, cheating, and cunning! Humph!"

Although he said that, deep down he had to admit that the human cultivator before him was quick-witted and unpredictable. Especially considering the strength of his cultivation techniques he had displayed earlier, if they really went all out, he might not be able to defeat him. Perhaps the city lord's insistence had some merit...

"You two, what's going on? Stop it! This isn't the time for infighting; we need to unite against a common enemy!"

After laughing, Meiji said with a serious expression. Seeing this, Yao Shiba realized that Meiji was not joking. He immediately shrank back, muttered something under his breath, and stepped aside. Li Sisui, on the other hand, was still grinning foolishly, leaving Meiji at a loss for what to do...

For a moment, Meiji even doubted whether her trust in the Demon Ancestor's calculations was right or wrong. Could this unassuming human cultivator really shoulder the responsibility of saving the demon race?

But after much deliberation, Meiji had no choice but to take the risk, because time was running out for the demon race. The enemy that even the Demon Ancestor could not defeat would soon descend upon this place again!

She absolutely could not accept that the demon race would perish under her leadership. It was absolutely impossible. Even if it cost her her life, she would fight for a glimmer of hope for the demon race!

“Senior Sword God, as the saying goes, a promise is a promise. Since you have already agreed, I don’t need to say anything more about what to do next. As for the entrance to Demon Mountain, if you are worried, I can take care of that for you first!”

Meiji kept calling him "senior," which made Li Sisui's mind wander. It wasn't until he felt Leng Rushuang's cold gaze that he came to his senses. Although he was being treated very well right now, if he weren't some kind of demon race's destiny, he didn't know how they would deal with him. It seemed best to be careful!

"I am new to this blessed land and have only been cultivating for a short time. I cannot possibly accept being addressed as 'senior.' Let us treat each other as equals. My name is Li Si Sui."

After Li Sisui finally introduced himself, everyone listened attentively with serious expressions. However, when they heard that he wanted to be on equal footing with the city lord, the crowd burst into laughter again.

"The city lord has been around for at least five thousand years, and this brat actually wants to be his equal, hahaha!"

Li Sisui's eyes widened in disbelief. He could hardly believe his ears. Looking at the smiling beauty not far away, he was now completely awake. Not only was he awake, but the hairs on his body stood on end. She really was a monster!

Seeing this, Leng Rushuang smiled again, her previously tense body relaxed, and she turned her head to say:

"How can the city lord be so certain? Does he not know the entrance to Demon Mountain like the back of his hand?"

Meiji's beautiful eyes darted around, glancing at Leng Rushuang, then at the strange-looking Li Sisui, before she said seriously:

"While I can't say I know everything about it, I'm close. But don't get your hopes up too high. Getting into Demon Mountain isn't that easy. Besides, the entrance to Demon Mountain isn't fixed; it only appears every so often. I'm just familiar with this cycle, but even so, I wouldn't dare to boast that I can guarantee you'll be able to climb Demon Mountain one hundred percent!"

As she spoke, Meiji extended her slender finger and pointed at Leng Rushuang, who was smiling, before continuing:

"Although there aren't many demonic cultivators on Shura Ridge, there aren't a few either. For demonic cultivators, the Demon Mountain is like the Demon Cave for the demon race. In order to climb the Demon Mountain, in addition to absolute strength, luck is also an indispensable factor!"

Although you are quite strong, it is not easy for you to stand out from the many demonic cultivators. If it weren't for the Sword God's sake, I would naturally not have taken on such a thankless task..."

Leng Rushuang's eyelashes fluttered, and she glanced at Li Sisui nonchalantly before sneering:

"Whether you can climb the Demon Mountain or not is not up to you. You just need someone's help, so why make yourself look so difficult?"

"you……"

Even the usually gentle Meiji was speechless after being choked by Leng Rushuang's sharp words. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. However, seeing Meiji's increasingly droopy face, it seemed that at this rate, it wouldn't even be his turn to fight with Yao Shiba before the two of them started fighting!

"I keep my word and will certainly do what I promised you. As for the matter of the entrance to Demon Mountain, I will discuss it with her before making a decision. But is it really enough to just stay here and wait for the monsters to come to the entrance of the Demon Cave?"

As he spoke, Li Sisui couldn't help but ask a question he had always wanted to ask but never had the chance. Upon hearing this, Meiji immediately dared not be negligent in the slightest, and no longer caring about Leng Rushuang, she turned her head and said:

"For the Sword God to make such a clear promise, it's no wonder our clan has managed to survive until now. As for the matter of the Demon Cave, to be honest, apart from some of the Demon Ancestor's last instructions, there's really nothing more concrete. It seems that there's no other way but to wait..."

Li Sisui remained calm and immediately replied:

“In that case, why not do as the city lord says and help us find the entrance to Demon Mountain first? Rest assured, city lord, as long as we send her back to Demon Mountain, my mission will be complete. Whether I stay or leave then, I will never break my promise to the demon race!”
