After the demon army retreated, the battlefield was in shambles. The demon king immediately ordered the cleanup of the mess and the treatment of the wounded.
Mo Xi helped Mu Li back to the city and found a quiet place for her to rest.
"Ali, how do you feel?" Mo Xi asked with concern.
Mu Li's face was pale, but she managed to force a smile: "Brother Mo Xi, I'm fine, I just ran out of spiritual energy and feel a little weak. I'll go to the space to rest for a while later. I'll be fine."
Mo Xi nodded gently: "I didn't expect this new Demon Lord to be so strong. This time, it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for your light spiritual power, it would be difficult to break the Demon Lord's protective shield."
Mu Li shook her head slightly: "Brother Mo Xi is also very powerful. If it weren't for your bravery and fearlessness, we wouldn't be able to win."
At this time, the Demon King walked in.
"Is Miss Mu feeling better?" asked the Demon King.
Mu Li smiled and replied, "Thank you, Demon King, for your concern. I'm fine now."
The Demon King nodded. "This battle was won thanks to the two of you. Although we have repelled the demons, they will certainly not give up. We need to strengthen our defenses."
Mo Xi said: "The Demon King is right. We need to recover our strength as soon as possible to prevent the demons from attacking again."
The Demon King pondered for a moment and said, "I have ordered my people to make preparations as soon as possible, and at the same time, I have sent people to investigate the movements of the demons."
Mo Xi and Mu Li agreed.
After a few days of rest, the demon race gradually regained its former vitality. However, Mo Xi's doubts grew deeper and deeper. The look the Demon Lord gave Mu Li before leaving made him feel that things were not that simple.
On this day, Mo Xi was walking alone in the city, thinking about the affairs of the demon clan.
Suddenly, a dark shadow passed by behind him.
Mo Xi turned around alertly, but found no one there.
"Who?" he shouted.
It was silent except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Mo Xi frowned, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
He quickened his pace and returned to where Mu Li was resting, but found that Mu Li was gone.
"Ali!" Mo Xi was anxious.
At this moment, he found a note on the table, which read: "If you want to save her, come to the Demon Abyss alone."
Mo Xi gritted his teeth and ran towards the Demon Abyss without hesitation.
The Demonic Abyss was eerie and terrifying, filled with black mist.
Mo Xi moved forward cautiously, alert to the movements around him.
"Come out!" he shouted.
"Haha, you are here as expected." The voice of the Demon Lord came from the darkness.
Mo Xi glared at him: "What did you do to Ali?"
The Demon Lord walked out slowly: "As long as you agree to one condition of mine, I will let her go."
Mo Xi said coldly: "What conditions?"
The Demon Lord said, "Help me obtain the power of the demon clan's sacred tree, otherwise, she will never leave alive."
Mo Xi's heart sank, "Are you threatening me?"
"It's obviously very effective, isn't it?" said the Demon Lord with a smile on his face.
"Okay, you win! Where is she?" Mo Xi agreed without hesitation.
"Don't you think about it? You have to know that once I get the power of the sacred tree, the demon race will become my prey. Will the human race still have the strength to resist then?" The Demon Lord obviously did not expect Mo Xi to agree so easily, and could not help but remind him.
"The villain dies because he talks too much! Let her go!" Mo Xi said expressionlessly.
Just then, Mu Li's voice came.
"Brother Moxi, we can't agree to him! Otherwise, the world will become hell!"
Mo Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Mu Li tied to a pitch-black stone pillar.
"Ali!" Mo Xi shouted.
"Hmph, you should think about it carefully." The Demon Lord sneered.
Mo Xi clenched his fists, his eyes determined: "I don't need to think about it, let her go! Otherwise, you can't afford the consequences!"
"Hahaha, how ridiculous! Is there any consequence in this world that I, a man of destiny, cannot afford?" the Demon Lord laughed.
"The chosen one? You?" Mo Xi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of sarcasm.
"What do you know? I am the chosen one, destined to become the ruler of a region!" the Demon Lord said solemnly.
"The chosen one?" Mo Xi frowned and murmured in a low voice.
"You won't understand even if I tell you! What do you know, an old antique?" said the Demon Lord irritably.
Mo Xi came back to his senses and said coldly, "Let her go!"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Lord withdrew the demonic energy that was bound to Mu Li, and Mu Li fell to the ground instantly. Seeing this, Mo Xi flew over and picked up Mu Li.
"Ali, how are you?"
"Brother Moxi, I'm fine."
At this moment, the Demon Lord suddenly asked, "Miss Mu, do you know the Demon City of the Flower Growing Family?"
Mu Li and Mo Xi looked at each other and then looked at the Demon Lord together.
"I don't know what you are talking about!" Mu Li frowned and said.
"You really don't know?" the Demon Lord asked.
"I don't know." Mu Li replied.
"Hehe... I didn't expect the little Taoist boy to be like this when he grew up!" The Demon Lord smiled and said.
"But how did you get here? Or are you originally from this world?" The Demon Lord said to himself.
Mu Li and Mo Xi turned a deaf ear and kept silent.
"Boring! I don't know what's happening to my brother in that world. If he knew I became the Demon Lord, he would definitely be envious, right? After all, a poor guy who has been abandoned since childhood, even if he is taken back, will still be a poor guy!" The Demon Lord couldn't help laughing as he thought about it.
Mu Li couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Hmph!" The Demon Lord felt bored when he saw that the two had no reaction at all. He snorted coldly and turned into black mist and disappeared on the spot.
