...
The Qilin Mountain Range is located in the central part of the Jiyuan Kingdom, and the entire mountain range almost divides the Jiyuan Kingdom in two.
Only the western region is slightly flatter, allowing people to travel between north and south. Without this region, perhaps only the demon race would be able to traverse these towering mountains and travel between the north and south.
When Ye Xianya made her calculations, there was an area that she couldn't see through, located deep within the barrier of the Qilin Mountains.
The White Ape Demon King and his companions have been waiting outside this barrier for three days, but they are unable to enter.
"Boss, the Emperor probably doesn't have time to see us, so... let's go back first," the Tengshe Demon King said in a low voice.
They had been waiting outside for three days, and the Tengshe Demon King, with his quick temper, had long since lost his patience.
"Let's wait two more days!" The White Ape Demon King frowned slightly. "The Emperor will see us when he has some free time!"
“The Emperor needs a long time to cultivate each time. If he takes a nap, a year or two can pass. I reckon... he's probably asleep. How about... we send someone to guard outside and come back in a few days?” The Azure Scale Demon King was also getting impatient.
The other three demon kings remained silent.
Because they originally came from this barrier, no matter how long they wait, they have to go back.
So... they have to keep waiting outside.
"Shouldn't the three seniors be able to open this barrier?" the White Ape Demon King asked, turning his head.
“It is possible, but the Demon Emperor has long established a rule that only it can open the barrier of this forbidden land. If any other demon race dares to open it without authorization, it will be a capital offense. We can only wait.” One of the demon kings spoke up, his face full of helplessness.
"Then let's wait and see!" the White Ape Demon King said in a low voice. "In this world, the only one who can rival that brat is probably our Emperor. This time, we must ask the Emperor to step in and give that brat a good beating, otherwise our demon race will never have a chance to rise again."
Ever since they learned that their demon race had an incomparably powerful demon emperor, the White Ape Demon King and his companions became somewhat arrogant, attempting to challenge the authority and status of the Taiyi Sect.
They had Yan Qingwu instruct the Yellow Leopard Demon and others to kill Yu Yanzhong, which was actually a setup.
These demon kings wanted to lure the disciples of the Taiyi Sect into their trap, killing as many as they could.
Unexpectedly, this attracted Ye Xianya.
"She is the only person in our world who has successfully survived the tribulation but failed to ascend. Can the Emperor really suppress her?" The Azure Scale Demon King had some doubts about this.
"The Emperor said that it is the strongest being in this world, so of course it can suppress that woman," the Tengshe Demon King hurriedly said.
If even their ancestors are no match for that woman, then the demon race can only cower and act like demons.
After waiting outside for two more days, the White Ape Demon King and the others finally entered the barrier.
The area within the barrier is a forbidden zone for the demon race.
Several demon kings also live here.
In addition, there is the emperor they speak of, who is the demon emperor.
"You have failed?" The Demon Emperor, seated on his throne, slowly opened his eyes.
He was dressed in a black robe, looked very young, and had an extremely handsome face, except that his eyes were deep purple, which made him look somewhat bewitching.
"Your Majesty, Ye Xianya, the former sect leader of Taiyi Sect, appeared at the critical moment and rescued the disciples of Taiyi Sect. Your subordinates... your subordinates were no match for her and were defeated," the White Ape Demon King said cautiously.
They had little contact with the Demon Emperor, after all, it was only in recent years that they learned that there was a forbidden land for the demon race, where the Demon Emperor and seven demon kings lived.
However, they heard from other demon kings that the Demon Emperor's temper was unpredictable, and that angering him would result in death.
The Demon Emperor did not speak upon hearing this.
The main hall was completely silent.
The White Ape Demon King and his companions felt a powerful pressure and were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling.
The previous leaf buds had also given them this feeling of being crushed by a mountain, making them unable to muster any will to resist.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger!" the old man kneeling beside the White Ape Demon King pleaded.
"Your Majesty, please calm your anger." The white ape demon king and the others hurriedly followed suit, begging for mercy.
The next moment, all six demon kings coughed up blood, and the oppressive aura emanating from them gradually dissipated.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for sparing our lives!" The demon kings prostrated themselves on the ground.
"A bunch of useless trash!" The Demon Emperor looked at them with disdain in his eyes: "I have said it before, I am the strongest in the world, yet you were scared out of your wits by a little girl and slunk back like cowards. You deserve to die!"
The White Ape Demon King and the others dared not utter a sound upon hearing this.
"If it weren't for the great cause of my demon race, you would all die!" After saying this, the Demon Emperor waved his hand violently, and several demon kings were instantly thrown away, their injuries becoming even more severe.
However, there is no danger to his life!
"Recount in detail what happened that day!" the Demon Emperor said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The White Ape Demon King wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and hurriedly knelt down to report.
In the past, it, along with Tengshe and Qinglin, were the utmost power in the demon race, and no one dared to act recklessly in front of them.
But ever since they learned of the forbidden land and met the Demon Emperor, their status plummeted. The White Ape Demon King harbored much resentment, but since he was no match for the Demon Emperor, he could only humble himself and submit.
It recounted the events of that day in detail, only to be blasted away by the Demon Emperor once again.
The White Ape Demon King felt bitter inside. Had it known this would happen, it would have sent someone else to report it.
"You bunch of trash! That little girl is just playing you. If she were really that powerful, she would have taught you a lesson, just like I have now, instead of letting you escape unscathed and come back unharmed!" The Demon Emperor said with a look of disdain.
These useless trash are a disgrace to the demon race.
"But...but Your Majesty, that girl really is Ye Xianya, the former sect leader of the Taiyi Sect. Sixty years ago, she came to the Qilin Mountain Range. Even with Tengshe, Qinglian, and the others joining forces, we couldn't defeat her and were almost killed by her. I can't be mistaken, she is Ye Xianya, the number one person in the world back then. She didn't die after her tribulation, and her soul power is incredibly strong..."
After hearing its words, the Demon Emperor frowned slightly and said after a moment, "Although her soul power is strong, her strength is only average. I don't know what happened to that little girl. The only thing I can be sure of is that she is not as strong as me."
The demon kings looked at it with puzzled expressions upon hearing this.
There were some things the Demon Emperor didn't want to say to these fools he looked down on, but he still explained a few things in the end.
"Although Heaven does not allow humans and demons in this world to ascend, it constantly monitors the world. If I were to leave the forbidden area, I would surely attract a heavenly tribulation. Yet that little girl can walk freely in the world, which shows that her strength has not reached a certain level, and is even inferior to yours."
The White Ape Demon King and the others were somewhat bewildered upon hearing this.
