You can't climb
Shen Qingxing pondered for a while, then shook his head and said, "Because I can't beat Shen Miao, and I'll die if I'm discovered. It's not that Young Master wants to kill him."
Considering that Shen Qingxing had always been by Shen Zhi's side, it was impossible for Shen Zhi not to know about her identity as a demon.
Shen Ling was silent for a moment, then said, "May I ask how you and my cousin met? Do the elders of the Shen family know my cousin's whereabouts?"
With a flick of his wrist, Shen Qingxing's longsword transformed into a streak of cold light, cleanly severing the arm of a vengeful demon that had stealthily crept up behind the two of them, preparing to launch a sneak attack.
The two men's swords clashed, their blades flashing with a chilling light.
In the blink of an eye, they wiped out the low-level demons that had rushed at them.
Move to a relatively safe corner.
Shen Qingxing lowered his eyes and wiped the bloodstains from the sword blade. Then, following up on Shen Ling's question, he said calmly, "I've forgotten what happened before. I only remember waking up in a mass grave on the border of the Demon Realm, and then the young master took me back."
I'm about to break through to the Golden Core stage; at that time, the demonic energy will be impossible to conceal. Young Master and Shen Miao had a huge fight because of you, and he said he was going to run away from home, so he brought me with him to the Demon Realm.
Shen Ling forced a bitter smile. She had run away from home after arguing with her own father.
It's not surprising at all that this happened to my cousin.
However, Shen Zhi knew from the beginning that Shen Qingxing was a demon, yet he still brought her back to the Shen family?
I glanced to the side and saw Shen Qingxing's expressionless face.
Shen Ling sighed. He was already a demon, so why should he care about his cousin?
In short, as long as Shen Qingxing didn't hurt anyone, that's fine.
After resting for a while, the two prepared to continue their exploration when Shen Ling called out, but no one responded.
Turning around, I found Shen Qingxing sitting there blankly, his gaze unfocused.
Snapping his fingers to bring her back to her senses, Chen Ling asked jokingly, "What are you thinking about?"
Shen Qingxing pulled his wandering thoughts back.
The girl blinked, bloodstains still visible at the corners of her eyes.
Shaking his head to indicate that he was fine, Shen Qingxing followed behind Shen Ling, watching Shen Ling's back gradually overlap with Shen Zhi's.
It was somewhat different from what Shen Ling had expected.
Shen Qingxing remembered that he struggled to turn over the corpse that was pressing down on him, wiped away the bloodstains that were covering his eyes, and the moment his vision returned.
What came into view was a figure holding a sword, standing with his back to her.
Almost simultaneously, the cold blade pressed against his vulnerable neck.
Shen Qingxing looked up and met Shen Zhi's gaze, feeling a spiritual force enveloping him.
The next instant, the longsword was removed from her neck.
Shen Zhi sheathed his sword and leaned against the broken wall, raising an eyebrow as the beauty mark at the corner of his eye lifted.
He kicked away the demon corpse that Shen Qingxing had pushed aside, his smile carrying a hint of nonchalant roguishness.
"Oh, you're quite lucky. You actually ran into a human like me here, not some demon that's not quite dead yet."
Shen Qingxing had no memory of what happened when he woke up, and just blinked when he heard this.
After Shen Zhi finished laughing, he pulled Shen Qingxing up and then realized that the girl was a fool.
After bringing the girl back to safety, Shen Zhi discovered that she wasn't stupid, she just had amnesia.
Shen Qingxing remembered that Shen Zhi had been scrutinizing him for a long time.
Finally, he said, "Considering you're good-looking and only in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, if you're willing to listen to me and fight for me in the future, I can take you back to the Shen family."
Shen Qingxing forgot what he was thinking at the time.
In short, he nodded in agreement.
And so he stayed by Shen Zhi's side.
At that time, Shen Zhi was sent by his own father to the border between humans and demons for training.
As the training was about to end, an unexpected incident occurred when Shen Qingxing joined Shen Zhi in eliminating the demon race.
As Shen Qingxing watched the boy turn around to kill one of the demons, another demon attacked him from the side.
"careful!"
Shen Qingxing's pupils constricted sharply, and as he shouted, his body lunged forward like an arrow released from a bow.
They narrowly escaped Shen Zhi's clutches.
However, due to excessive blood loss, Shen Zhi has fallen into a coma.
Having no other choice, Shen Qingxing carried Shen Zhi to a cave in the wilderness, tore off a piece of his clothes, and hastily bandaged his hideous wound.
He fell into a coma for a night.
Because he was out on a training mission, there was no one else with him at the time.
Shen Qingxing remembered that he set up the magic array in the middle of the night and couldn't help but fall into a deep sleep.
When she woke up, Shen Zhi was squatting beside her, his brows furrowed, his eyes scrutinizing her from head to toe, his expression complex and unreadable.
She tilted her head to look at him, not understanding why he suddenly looked as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
A campfire, which had been lit sometime during the night, crackled and popped inside the cave.
Shen Zhi opened his mouth, then suddenly closed it, finally turning around and saying, "No wonder I always felt something was off when you used your spiritual power..."
Shen Qingxing blinked, and suddenly the roar of a monster came from outside the cave.
Shen Qingxing instinctively placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said, "I'll take care of it."
When she returned with the demon core, her clothes were soaked in blood, and demonic energy spread rampantly along the wound.
Shen Zhi's expression changed a lot. Finally, as if resigned to his fate, he took out a few gray-black pills from his storage ring and tossed them to Shen Qingxing, saying, "Take the pills."
Shen Qingxing held the pill, feeling the surging demonic energy within it.
"If it weren't for Shen Miao..."
Shen Zhi suddenly spoke, his voice filled with deep resentment: "Why should I come to this border between humans and demons? For training! He just wants me to die here."
Shen Qingxing swallowed the pill, sensing the surging demonic energy within, and slowly said, "Just kill it."
She watched as Shen Zhi's Adam's apple bobbed twice, then suddenly burst out laughing.
Shen Qingxing was puzzled for a long time, then remembered that Shen Zhi had said before that Shen Miao was his father.
It seems I can't kill my father with my own hands?
Shen Qingxing hesitated and said, "Then I'll help you kill him?"
"Ha, that's quite interesting."
Shen Zhi rubbed the hilt of his sword with his fingertips and chuckled, "Others know that I have a grudge against Shen Miao, and they either say that I am unfilial or advise me that blood is thicker than water. In the end, it turns out that the way you demons act is the most in line with my wishes."
After laughing, Shen Zhi stood up, gripped the hilt of his sword, and patted Shen Qingxing's palm, which was filled with demonic energy, with the sword.
"Don't show your demonic aura in front of others in the future. You weren't hiding it from me before, were you?"
Before Shen Qingxing could understand the meaning of those words, Shen Zhi ripped off the jade pendant from his waist and stuffed it into her palm.
"Keep this with you at all times; it can conceal your demonic aura."
Shen Qingxing gripped the jade pendant tightly, feeling the demonic energy within his body gradually shrink into a ball under the restraint.
Before he could adjust to the change, he felt Shen Zhi tap his forehead with the scabbard: "Also, don't mention killing again."
Shen Qingxing pondered for a long time but still couldn't understand. Wasn't this person quite happy when he said he would help him kill Shen Miao?
Why were they ultimately prevented from killing him?
Finally, under Shen Zhi's gaze, Shen Qingxing nodded and said, "Understood."
I don't understand, but I do know.
Shen Qingxing said those three words many times.
Shen Qingxing couldn't understand why Shen Zhi would deliberately quarrel with Shen Miao when he knew she was about to break through to the Golden Core stage, just to bring her to the Demon Clan.
It's puzzling why Shen Zhi, who clearly hates demons, would see Shen Ling in the demon realm and detect the demonic aura emanating from her.
Why would he let himself save Shen Ling, and even put on an act in front of Shen Ling?
He wanted Shen Ling to join him in entering the Demon Clan's legacy.
Shen Ling stopped and asked in confusion, "Why is the demonic energy getting weaker in this direction?"
Shen Qingxing also stopped and looked up at the endless gravel road in front of them.
The demonic energy in the Demon Clan's heritage is the most abundant in the entire Demon Realm, so how could there possibly be a path where the demonic energy is weakened?
Seeing Shen Ling frown, Shen Qingxing said calmly, "Then let's go take a look."
...
"Miss Mo and the others are missing?" Yi Qingran looked at Yi Chuan in shock.
Yi Chuan frowned, his expression displeased: "Third Young Master, you shouldn't have acted like that yesterday."
Yi Qingran keenly sensed something unusual in his words: "What do you mean?"
Before Yi Chuan could answer, Yi He, who had just gone to check, returned and pointed southwest, shouting, "Brother, Miss Mo left in this direction. Should we chase after her?"
After listening, Yi Chuan glanced at Yi Qingran with a complicated expression and said earnestly, "Third Young Master, we have orders from our family head and cannot accompany you."
Furthermore, young master, please don't even think about making a move on Miss Mo. Besides the Mo family, she has other powerful forces protecting her. You can't possibly get close to her."
"What..." Yi Qingran stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Before he could figure it out, Yi Chuan and the other man had already left quickly.
Yi Qingran was left alone, frowning and looking lost.
After Mo Zuili left with Mo Yongning, Huang Yu, and Mo Shi, she no longer thought about the reactions of the Yi family.
They even ignored the rare and precious natural treasures along the way.
All I wanted to do was get to the small world at the center of the Phoenix Ruins as quickly as possible.
The Dragon Clan's spatial barrier is also within the small world. Apart from gaining the power of the Demon King and becoming stronger, the only thing Mo Zuili cares about most is the spatial barrier.
If I can enter the Dragon Realm through the spatial barrier, then I can find Qi Shuyan and return to the modern world.
The group of people flew across the sky like streaks of light.
Mo Zuili was forced to stop only when the pressure became increasingly severe.
Looking up, a huge red archway stands in the middle of the flat stone road.
The archway was enveloped in flowing demonic energy, as if it were a living thing, absorbing and releasing the surrounding spiritual energy.
Mo Zuili withdrew her gaze and spread her divine sense.
Sure enough, they sensed the menacing demons guarding the archway.
Huang Yu also sensed it.
He frowned and said unhappily, "It's that traitor Huang Tianyao's doing again. Princess, wait until all our people arrive before fighting them. You can sneak in during the chaos then."
"No need for such trouble." Mo Zuili curled her lips and withdrew her divine sense.
"Shangguan Fu'er and Huang Tianyao, these powerful figures, have all gone in. What's the point of waiting for the remaining crab soldiers and generals?"
After Mo Zuili finished speaking, she turned her head and glanced at Mo Yongning.
Mo Yongning understood and summoned his longsword, rushing out after Mo Zuili.
Mo Zuili knew that Huang Tianyao had been in the ruins for a long time and could not afford to delay, so she made her move without holding back.
Magical artifacts and talismans flew together, and the sound of explosions from the artifacts rang out one after another. Fire and thunder talismans poured down like a torrential rain, creating a fierce bombardment.
Before the demons guarding the archway could react, Mo Zuili had already used the shockwave from the explosion to force his way to the archway.
"After I go in, you guys leave. Be careful."
Mo Zuili left a word of advice for Mo Yongning behind her.
He infused spiritual energy into the teleportation talisman, and with a feint from his puppet clone, the attacking demons missed their target.
Upon arriving at the archway, Mo Zuili flung out a stack of fire talismans, injuring the last few demons guarding the archway.
He then took advantage of the shockwave from the exploding fire talisman to successfully enter the small world.
