"Senior Brother, that's how it is, did you hear me?"
"Ah, oh, I see." Actually, he was distracted and didn't hear anything, but there must be a reason why his junior sister was mixed in with the demons, and he believed her.
"Now that I've finished with mine, it's your turn. What happened to Senior Brother's injuries and the defeat of Luoxia City?" Tu Longjian asked with a cold expression.
Upon hearing this, Song Liqing's hazy eyes snapped back to reality, and he lowered his head in shame: "It's all my fault for being deceived."
It turned out that he had brought his disciples to the front line of Luoxia City to guard it. The situation was originally very favorable, and even the strongest demon king among the enemy demon cultivators had been defeated by him several times.
Just then, a paper crane sent out a distress call, along with a broken fire bell attached.
[Senior Brother, I was trapped by demonic cultivators on my way here. Please come and rescue me immediately.]
Song Liqing clutched the Fire Bell tightly; it was a gift he had given to his junior sister. He went to the location in the letter to rescue her, but unexpectedly, the Fire Bell was poisonous, and he fainted there.
He woke up to find himself in a demon army prison. His intact Fire Bell was gone, and he was nailed with Soul-Locking Nails. He also heard that there was a traitor in Luoxia City, and because he was missing, he was defeated in the end.
Tu Longjian was silent for a moment, then gripped the bed sheet tightly and said in a muffled voice, "I'm sorry."
She took a deep breath: "It must be trouble I caused." As soon as the Fire Bell sounded, she knew it was Gan Xiuming.
Unexpectedly, although Gan Xiuming's favorability had returned, he was secretly plotting something, having come to take revenge on the "male mistress".
The butterfly effect can bring both benefits and, unsurprisingly, harms. For example, right now, some people in the city have died by mistake because of the turmoil she caused.
Song Liqing noticed her stress and comforted her, saying, "Junior Sister, don't blame yourself too much. It's my fault for being so easily deceived, which has led to this predicament. We'll find a chance to escape and surely defeat the demons."
"I just tried to break the spirit-locking chain, but I couldn't."
"Its material is special and cannot be opened by brute force. The key is in Ji Aosi's hands."
Seeing that the worry between her brows had not yet faded, Song Liqing cleared her throat and said, "I have something else to say."
"What?" Tu Longjian thought he had something important to say, so he leaned closer.
Looking at the face so close to his, Song Liqing's breath hitched, and he said, "Junior Sister, you're grabbing my belt."
Tu Longjian looked down and saw that she had grabbed his senior brother's belt and the bed sheet together, and had even loosened the belt.
She let go, rolled over, and lay flat, pretending nothing had happened: "Senior Brother must be tired too. Get some rest. Let's keep this act going."
"Hmm." Song Liqing's body stiffened as she thought about the two of them lying on the same bed. Tu Longjian, on the other hand, was too tired and had entered a light sleep to recuperate.
In the quiet of the night, Song Liqing could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat, pounding away.
After a long while, due to being bound by the Spirit-Locking Chains and having lost too much strength, he unusually drifted into a sweet sleep. Unbeknownst to him, Tu Longjian, whose breathing was steady beside him, quietly opened his eyes a crack.
The figure outside disappeared like the wind. She rubbed her hands, which had become cold from nervousness, and felt a slight weight lift from her heart, yet also a sense of relief.
I'm not afraid of a cunning opponent, but I'm afraid of a smiling tiger.
As expected, Bai Ri's words did not deceive Demon Lord Ming Ying's eyes. He must have deliberately sent Song Li Qing to him to see what he would do.
The demon's headquarters is fraught with danger, and she must be extremely careful while infiltrating it; the slightest mistake could cost her her life.
Tu Longjian mentally organized his current plan. His first priority was to find a way to get the key, unlock the spirit-locking chain, and rescue his senior brother.
Secondly, now that she had infiltrated the demon clan's stronghold, she couldn't leave empty-handed. As the invaded party, Tu Longjian didn't want to see the peaceful cultivation world plunged into war and devastation by the demon clan.
The next day, Song Li woke up to find the bedding beside him cold. Tu Longjian had left him a message using a special method:
"Stay in the room. There are several demon guards outside. Be careful."
The message was deleted after being read. Song Liqing felt a little uneasy. What was his junior sister going to do after leaving him?
Now that the two senior and junior siblings have ventured deep into the demon's lair, the senior brother, who has the highest cultivation level, actually wants to send his junior sister, who is at the Golden Core stage, out on a dangerous journey. Unfortunately, his status as a captive is extremely sensitive, and his cultivation level is also locked, so he dares not act rashly.
Song Liqing's expression darkened, and he sat upright on the bed, attempting to forcefully break through the spirit-locking chains once again.
He hated the traitor who deceived him in the name of his junior sister. If anything happened to his junior sister, he would make that person wish he were dead.
Early in the morning, Tu Longjian went out looking refreshed and relaxed, strolling around the Demon King's mansion as if it were her own backyard. She didn't look like an undercover agent at all, and even took the initiative to find Ji Aosi to ask for a job assignment.
"Seriously? You're bothering your boss so early in the morning?"
Because Tu Longjian killed Luo Mojiang, Ji Aosi's old nemesis, and because Tu Longjian was confident, generous, and had a personality that suited Ji Aosi's taste, the two quickly became acquainted.
"On my first day in office, I have to make a good impression."
“We demons are known for our laziness, and this is the first time I’ve seen such a request from you. In that case, come with me to the training ground.” Ji Aosi’s eyes were bloodshot, and she looked somewhat listless.
"Luo Mojiang was previously the deputy general who led the troops. Hehe, if you rashly kill their leader, those guys might not necessarily acknowledge you."
"It's alright, I'm just as brave on the battlefield."
Ji Aosi, understanding the woman's preferences, laughed a few times.
"You're really arrogant, girl. Old Luo is already at the late stage of Demon General, while you're only at the early stage. Killing him might have been a fluke, but the training ground is full of hidden talents."
Immediately, Ji Aosi's eyes darted around, and she asked curiously, "Sister Yi, I haven't asked you where you're from yet."
Actually, there was one more question she didn't ask: why did Tu Longjian seem to have such a close relationship with the Demon Lord?
She wasn't stupid. This Yi Xuan had infiltrated under a false pretense, killed Luo Mojiang, and descended from the sky, claiming to have come because she admired the Demon Lord's beauty. Who knew if she was a spy?
This is highly suspicious. If it weren't for the fact that even the all-knowing Demon Lord hadn't said anything, Yi Xuan would surely be suffering severe torture in the Demon Clan's prison right now.
As a confidante of the Demon Lord, Ji Aosi had no doubt about the Demon Lord's deep scheming and plotting.
Although the great war between humans and demons has been over for a long time, everyone is still recovering, so the voices advocating war within the demon race were not very loud at the time.
At that moment, she sensed the Demon Lord's determination to fight from his eyes. In order to climb the ranks, she stood firmly behind the Demon Lord and did her best to promote the start of the war. As a result, she gained the Demon Lord's appreciation and led troops to attack this important territory with the strength of a newly promoted Demon King.
