A mountain path.
Xu Canglang walked ahead with a stern face, Qi Yu smirked and slipped to his side, and finally Feng Xiao, who looked displeased, followed behind.
"Senior brother, how long are they going to keep fighting like this? Has anyone tried to sabotage the teleportation array?"
"Senior brother, Master was unwell a while ago, is he feeling better now?"
"Senior brother, did you know that I won first place in both the individual martial arts and beast fighting competitions in the sect's grand competition? Don't you think we should show our appreciation?"
Qi Yu rambled on with a grin, spouting a bunch of nonsensical things, feeling incredibly pleased as he watched Xu Canglang's face grow darker and darker.
She shuffled along, a willow twig she had just plucked from a roadside tree dangling from her mouth, her whole being so light it seemed she was about to take flight.
Although she was initially unwilling to enter this world, she gradually found the direction she wanted to work towards and met many close friends.
But I never expected to see my mother, who had passed away many years ago, here.
Qi Yu lowered her eyes and took the willow branch out of her mouth.
The world is truly amazing.
I wonder when Mom came in? She said she seemed to have been waiting here for a long time.
Fei Qingmu said that the one who gave him instructions and saved Zhu Xiuzi hundreds of years ago was the Demon Emperor Hua Liu.
Does Mom know a lot of information?
Qi Yu looked at Xu Canglang ahead and asked, "Senior brother, where is the Demon Emperor's true form? Can she deal with so many demons?"
Xu Canglang was walking ahead when he suddenly stopped and let out a heavy sigh.
A short figure appeared in front of them.
The child, dressed in light blue brocade, looked to be only three or four years old. He floated in mid-air with a calm and composed expression, completely unlike his age.
Qi Yu asked in surprise, "Master?"
The child nodded, his feet imbued with spiritual energy, and floated onto Xu Canglang's shoulder, where he sat down with an effortless thud.
Qi Yu: "...Master, why have you shrunk again?"
He looked to be only five or six years old when I went upstairs. What happened?!
This process of rejuvenation is a bit too fast!
Yun Gui turned her head slowly and said, "You want to see the Demon Emperor's true form?"
Qi Yu's eyes lit up. Forgetting to ask about the reason for Yun Gui's change, she quickly nodded and said, "I want to!"
Yun Gui turned his head back and instructed Xu Canglang, "Let's go, take your junior sister to see the Demon Emperor's true form."
Xu Canglang: "..."
He resigned himself to his fate, turned around, and headed in another direction.
Qi Yu followed in high spirits.
She had a feeling that if she met Hua Liu later and had a conversation with her, she could get more information.
On the way, Yun Gui slowly began to answer the questions Qi Yu had asked earlier.
"The teleportation array has been closed, but almost all the demons with some strength have come through it. The Demon Queen said she can handle it, so I don't plan to bring anyone to help."
"I am fine, but my spiritual energy has been somewhat depleted. It's nothing serious."
"I am very happy that you won first place, but there is still the team competition waiting. After you finish watching the excitement, hurry back to Yunyang Sect to prepare."
Qi Yu: "..."
This damn sense of oppression.
Before long, the group passed through a barrier.
Suddenly, a golden expanse filled my vision.
Qi Yu suddenly looked up.
A huge, almost sky-covering pale golden willow tree appeared before them.
The trunk of the willow tree is a deep, dark green, while the branches and leaves are a pale golden yellow, giving it a sacred and strange appearance.
Pale gold willow branches drooped from the tree, transforming into women dressed in green.
They had identical faces, wielded willow whips, and fought against several powerful demons, yet they held their own.
Qi Yu and his companions were currently in a secluded corner, and with Yun Gui having set up a barrier to conceal their presence, the demons had not discovered them.
Yun Gui drooped his eyes, looking at the battle below with a hint of boredom.
"These demons... I can't persuade them, I can't beat them in a fight, and they still won't give up. They come here to cause trouble every day. I really hope Hua Liu kills them all so I can have some peace and quiet."
Qi Yu's lips twitched; he hadn't expected Yun Gui to be so cruel.
but……
She looked at the ruthless and powerful demons, and her eyes turned cold.
They really deserve to die.
After Yun Gui and Xu Canglang explained, she finally understood the purpose of these demons.
It's just a treasure from the Demon Emperor's secret realm.
Power is always dazzling.
Hua Liu just wanted to retire peacefully, but they kept disturbing her...
Qi Yu snorted coldly, feeling even more disgusted with these troublemaking demons.
Qi Yu, a mama's girl who is biased towards her mother, completely disregards the fact that as long as Hua Liu tells the younger generation of the demon race the location of the secret realm and gives up the position of demon emperor, the demon race will no longer disturb her retirement life.
There must be a reason why Mom won't give up her seat!
In short, it's all the fault of these demons.
Those who lack strength are indeed not qualified to force Hua Liu, who has held the position of Demon Emperor for a thousand years, to retreat.
The pale gold willow tree trembled, and countless demons attacking it were entangled by its pale gold branches, rendering them unable to move.
Unable to break free, the demons began to curse and shout.
"Hua Liu! You occupy the position of Demon Emperor, yet you do nothing of substance! You are shameless!"
"Those demons are practically on top of us! And you don't do anything about it! If you can't handle it, then give up the Demon Emperor's throne and open the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm! That way, our people won't be bullied by those demons anymore!"
"Hua Liu!!!"
Willow branches gathered these powerful, cursing demons together and wove a pale gold cage of branches to trap them securely.
A woman wearing a pale gold robe and a willow wreath on her head appeared under the golden willow tree.
Ignoring the shouts of those people, she walked calmly past the cage with her bare, white feet on the ground, passing by Qi Yu and the others.
The woman's eyes were a pale gold, shimmering with a soft light, making her look like a compassionate goddess descended to earth.
Hua Liu waved her hand and shattered the barrier. She stepped forward, took Qi Yu's hands, and said with a smile, "Xiao Yu, come here."
Qi Yule followed her lead and walked towards the willow tree.
Fengxiao had only taken two steps when she was blocked by a willow branch.
Hua Liu turned around, her face still smiling gently, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes.
"Kid, I'm going to catch up with my daughter. Do you want to come and listen?"
Feng Xiao felt a shiver run through her heart under Hua Liu's scrutinizing gaze, but she still followed her heart and honestly said, "Yes, I want to hear it."
Hua Liu: "..."
Qi Yu waved her hand at him impatiently and said, "Go to the side."
Feng Xiao's lips twitched slightly, and his crimson eyes looked at Qi Yu with a wronged expression.
Qi Yu, with a heart of stone, still said, "Go play by yourself."
After saying that, she shook Hua Liu's hand and said, "Mom, let's go?"
Hua Liu nodded in satisfaction and led Qi Yu into the treehouse atop the willow tree.
