So that's how it is...
He Lanzhi didn't know whether she believed it or not, but after hearing what he said, she stopped asking questions and just cleverly brought the topic back.
"Junior Brother Gu, Junior Brother Chu, regarding the matter of entering the Xuanyin place in the demon world..."
He looked at the two of them, his expression instantly becoming serious.
"Do you know the specific details of Xuanyin?"
They shook their heads honestly and said, "We only know that Xuanyin is located at the border between demons and monsters, and that the border has been sealed due to the demon-monster war. That's why we came to ask for help from Brother."
He Lanzhi showed an expression that she had expected this, sighed softly, and began to explain patiently.
"The so-called Xuanyin place in the demon world is one of the ten most infamous dangerous places in the demon world. In fact, even if you haven't experienced a demon war, entering it is strictly prohibited."
"One of the ten most dangerous places in the demon world?" Gu Qingze looked bewildered.
"Indeed, you can understand it as the most dangerous and unpredictable place in the demon world. Any living creature that enters it will often end up with no remains left, and even the souls of the dead will not rest in peace. In short, it is a terrifying existence that must be avoided as far as possible."
Gu Qingze suddenly understood. No wonder Song Ya reacted like that when she heard that they were going to Xuanyin... It was like she was looking at a dying person.
Perhaps because of this incident, Song Ya's impression of their master was extremely bad. After all, letting his apprentice go to such a dangerous place, anyone with a discerning eye would know that this was tantamount to sending the apprentice to his death.
Chu Lingxiao on the side seemed to be thinking about something. He turned his gaze to He Lanzhi and asked.
"Xuan Yin is so dangerous that entry is usually forbidden. Now that the demon war is in progress and the border is blocked, it must be even more difficult."
"Junior Brother Chu is absolutely right. If I hadn't become the head of the family now, this matter would have been really difficult."
He Lanzhi nodded slightly, with an indescribable complex emotion in her fox eyes.
When Gu Qingze heard this, he also noticed something.
It turns out... Senior Brother Helan returned to the demon world not only to bury his father, but also to inherit the position of head of the family.
It is no wonder that after such a long time, he has not returned to Qingyun Sect. After inheriting the position of the head of the family, he needs to deal with many matters, including consolidating his own position and establishing prestige, which all take up a lot of time.
Although he was thinking this in his mind, he did not show it on the surface. He still looked like he was listening attentively and asked for advice humbly.
"Since Senior Brother Helan has come up with a solution, what exactly is it..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by He Lanzhi.
"It's very simple, isn't it just a matter of meeting the Demon King?"
Gu Qingze: “???!!!”
Chu Lingxiao: “…??!!”
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao both widened their eyes, unable to believe their ears, and even suspected that there was something wrong with their hearing.
"Brother Helan, are you talking about... meeting the Demon King?"
They asked cautiously and tentatively.
However, the demon who said these shocking words seemed not to understand and looked at them with confusion.
"Meeting the Demon King... Junior Brothers, do you have any questions?"
Any questions?
This is a huge problem!
He Lanzhi met the shocked looks of her fellow apprentices, gave a helpless wry smile, and began to explain.
"Xuan Yin is a forbidden area. Entrance is strictly prohibited. The war is intense now, and even the path leading to Xuan Yin is tightly blocked. Entering is extremely difficult."
"As for me, I've been thinking hard, and the only solution left is to meet the Demon King. The Demon King holds the power. If anyone can help me, it's only the Demon King."
He Lanzhi continued with a serious face.
"I've already informed the Demon King in advance. All you need to do is meet with him and explain the situation. You don't need to reveal your true purpose. After all, not everyone understands our Master. Just use the same excuse as before and speak boldly to the Demon King."
"As long as the Demon King is willing to help you, entering the Xuanyin Land will not be a difficult task."
He Lanzhi patted their shoulders gently. "For my fellow apprentices, I went to great lengths to secure this opportunity to meet the Demon King. Perform well. I believe in you."
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao froze in place when they realized they had not misheard.
They knew that Senior Brother Helan was not very reliable, but they never expected him to be so unreliable...
Putting aside other things for now...why would the Demon King help them?
The demon world has always followed the law of survival of the fittest, and only the strong can hold high positions. Since he was able to become the demon king, he must have killed countless people and is definitely not a kind and charitable person.
Furthermore, a transaction requires both parties to have the chips they need. He is already the Demon King, what else could he lack?
Could it be that Senior Brother Helan was counting on the Demon King to help them for no reason? To harbor such thoughts couldn't be called naive; it was simply...utterly foolish.
Of course, Senior Brother Helan is definitely not such a stupid monster, so what is his intention in doing this?
If He Lanzhi knew what they were thinking, he would definitely feel extremely aggrieved. They simply misunderstood him.
At this time, if you want to enter the border between demons and monsters, you may be able to bribe some nobles through other means.
But if you want to enter Xuanyin... there is an eighth-level formation there. Unless there is an eighth-level or above formation master, only the Demon King can solve it.
However, formation masters of level eight and above...are extremely rare in the world of immortal cultivation. They are highly respected and are sought after by major sects. They have all kinds of resources and will certainly not take the risk to crack this kind of formation.
Although asking the Demon King for help sounds absurd, compared to finding an eighth-level or above formation master and letting him risk his life to break the formation, it can only be said... asking the Demon King for help may have a greater chance of success.
He Lanzhi looked at them standing there in a daze, as if she had expected it, and spoke to them in a gentle tone.
"Actually...it's not too late for you to retreat now."
Gu Qingze came to his senses and looked at He Lanzhi with an extremely sincere expression.
"Brother Helan, do you really have no other options?"
"No, if it were any other monster, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to come up with this method."
He Lanzhi shook her head without hesitation.
He already knew the decision they had made based on their behavior.
"So, even though you know the hope is slim, you still insist on going, right?"
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao did not speak, but the determined light in their eyes had already answered for them.
He Lanzhi sighed deeply, "Alright, then I respect your decision and wish you good luck in advance."
