Shu Lan waved her hand, breaking the barrier around Tinglan Peak. "Senior brother, come in!"
As soon as Shu Lan finished speaking, Venerable Lieyang stepped into the courtyard of Tinglan Peak.
Shu Lan raised her hand and poured a cup of tea for Venerable Lieyang. Venerable Lieyang did not refuse and took the teacup and drank it in one gulp, unlike his usual leisurely and elegant manner when he would savor tea.
After finishing his tea, Venerable Lieyang's expression turned serious: "Junior brother, I just discussed things with the elders of the various sects and we've decided to negotiate with the Demon Realm in three days."
Shu Lan picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and then asked, "Where do you plan to hold the negotiations?"
"We've decided to hold the negotiations at the border between the cultivation world and the demon realm, which is now the Valley of Gods and Demons." At this point, Venerable Lieyang's tone suddenly changed: "However, Junior Brother, you'd better not go."
Shu Lan glanced at Venerable Lieyang: "Hmm? Why?"
“After all, we are negotiating with your former disciple. You are already too heartbroken this time, and I am worried that you may not be able to withstand the blow. Therefore, it is best if you don’t get involved this time, Junior Brother.” After saying that, Venerable Lieyang gently patted Shu Lan’s shoulder, as if to comfort him.
After hearing what Venerable Lieyang said, Shulan realized that he seemed to have misunderstood something, but Shulan did not explain, and just silently drank her tea.
Just now, Shu Lan suddenly remembered a plan. If this plan succeeds, Xiao An will no longer be besieged by the people of the Immortal Sect, and it is very likely that the Immortal Sect will reach a cooperation with the Demon Realm.
If this plan were to be implemented, it would certainly be impossible to go to the Valley of Gods and Demons with Venerable Lieyang.
Thinking of this, Shu Lan put down her teacup. "Senior brother, I want to get away for a few days, so I won't be going to the Valley of Gods and Demons with you. You go ahead!"
"It's good for you to relax. Well then, Junior Brother, I'll take my leave now." Venerable Lieyang could tell that Shu Lan didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he got up to say goodbye and left Tinglan Peak.
Shu Lan lowered her eyes to look at the tea in her teacup, thinking about the plan she had just made, and finally picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Shu Lan also left Tinglan Peak not long after Venerable Lieyang left.
Shu Lan walked out of the Star River Sect's gate, then flew on her sword, heading straight for the Demon Realm.
Upon arriving in the Demon Realm, Shu Lan once again reversed the "Ancestral Spirit Scripture," transforming all the ancestral spiritual energy within him into demonic energy. Then, Shu Lan changed his attire back to what he had worn before, and finally, he disguised himself again with the face he had used last time.
After everything was prepared, Shu Lan set off towards the desert of the Demon Realm.
This time, following the route taken by the demon cultivator from last time, Shu Lan easily found the chaotic rock formation.
Upon arriving at the chaotic rock formation, Shu Lan seemed to remember something and released the demonic seed she had previously placed in her storage ring, implanting it into her body once more.
Instantly, Shu Lan sensed the guiding power of the chaotic rock formation. Last time, Shu Lan had figured out that anyone with a demonic seed implanted in their body could find their way to the branch headquarters within the chaotic rock formation.
Shu Lan followed the guidance of the demonic seed and easily passed through the chaotic rock formation.
After he walked out of the rock formation, the branch headquarters appeared before him once again.
In those countless caves, many demon cultivators were still going in and out, most of them busy with their tasks.
Shu Lan once again easily blended in with them.
This time, Shu Lan had a bold plan. He decided to capture an extraterrestrial demon and bring him to the Valley of Gods and Demons for negotiations. This way, the immortal sects would know who the culprit was, and Xiao An could be exonerated. The immortal sects would also know who the real enemy was, and if they weren't foolish, they should be able to cooperate with the Demon Realm to jointly resist the invasion of the extraterrestrial demon.
However, capturing an extraterrestrial demon is no easy task. Therefore, Shu Lan will need to remain hidden within this branch for the next two days, waiting for the opportune moment to strike.
Of course, Shu Lan had also prepared for the worst, which was to face the extraterrestrial demons and all the demon cultivators in the entire branch.
...
Shu Lan remained hidden in the branch for two days. During these two days, he completely integrated with the group of demon cultivators and even got to know many prominent demon cultivators. They all regarded Shu Lan as one of their own and never doubted his identity.
Today is the third day. Judging by the time, Venerable Lieyang should have led the other sect elders to the Valley of Gods and Demons. Shu Lan has also made a decision: she must strike tonight and capture the extraterrestrial demon!
The daytime flew by, and night fell.
Soon it was the dead of night, and the blood moon hung high in the sky above the Demon Realm.
Shu Lan also secretly slipped out of the cave where he was. He activated the Concealing Breath Technique and even put an invisibility talisman on his body.
After everything was ready, Shu Lan followed the route He Jing had taken last time and secretly slipped out through the back door of the hall.
The familiar desolation was still before her eyes. This time, Shu Lan quickly moved forward, following the route she remembered.
Soon, Shu Lan arrived at the small spatial rift she had encountered before.
Shu Lan glanced at the spatial rift and felt that it seemed to be a little bigger than last time, but it was still impossible to see anything clearly when looking into it.
Shu Lan scanned the surroundings with his divine sense and, finding no one around, quickly drew all the runes that He Jing had drawn before, based on his memory, by applying demonic energy to his fingers.
After drawing the runes, Shu Lan arranged them in a specific order according to the summoning ritual she remembered. Only after everything was arranged did Shu Lan infuse the runes with demonic energy.
The black runes slowly turned blood red after being infused with demonic energy.
Instantly, the small spatial rift trembled.
At the same time, He Jing, who was in the branch headquarters' sleeping quarters, sensed something, "Not good! Someone is summoning the extraterrestrial demon lord!"
Immediately, He Jing gathered the other demon cultivators and rushed towards the spatial rift.
"Who? Is summoning me?" The extraterrestrial demon stepped out from the spatial rift, his words preceding his arrival.
Shu Lan looked closely and saw that the extraterrestrial demon that had appeared was the same one he had seen last time.
Shu Lan did not answer the extraterrestrial demon's question, but instead raised the Yun Yao Sword and attacked the extraterrestrial demon.
"Hmm?" The extraterrestrial demon did not expect Shu Lan's move, but his reaction was not slow either, and he dodged Shu Lan's attack in a flash.
"Who are you?" The extraterrestrial demon was getting angry.
"You don't need to know! All you need to know is that I'm going to capture you!" Shu Lan said, her attacks continuing.
"Hmph! Arrogant!" The extraterrestrial demon was completely enraged and immediately engaged Shu Lan in battle.
"Who dares to provoke the extraterrestrial demon lord!"
