Inside the Demon Capital's main hall, there were two demon kings, two minor Golden Core cultivators, and a salted fish.
Niu Lan moved his chin and then said, "Open the light prison."
"Open it?" Bai Luoxiao spread her hands and said, "If you open it, the person will run away?"
"Phew~"
Niu Lan exhaled white vapor again, but this time the vapor hit Bai Luoxiao.
This made Bai Luoxiao anxious. She jumped back several steps and shook her robes.
Then I heard him say, "What are you doing? You're filthy!"
Clearly, Bai Luoxiao found the white breath from that nose quite repulsive.
After exhaling the white vapor, Niu Lan said, "Open it. With the two demon kings here, do you think they can escape? Or do you just enjoy imprisoning people in cages?"
Hearing this, Bai Luoxiao waved her hand helplessly and said, "I'll open it, I'll open it right away."
Suddenly, the prison vanished, and Wu Er, Han Qingxiu, and Xiong Ao were released from the cell.
Once Wu Er was released from prison, he naturally went back to acting; he was truly addicted to it...
"Ah~ I'm going to die, Demon King, please don't eat me~ Ah~"
The last syllable was drawn out so long that it gave the listeners goosebumps.
Han Qingxiu glared at Wu Er with resentment, thinking to herself: My master! Haven't you finished acting?
Upon hearing this exaggerated voice, Xiong Ao, who was standing nearby, shuddered and lowered his body, trying to minimize his presence.
"This person is such a coward! Does Pengshan Sect even have someone like this?"
Niu Lan was very dissatisfied with Wu Er's performance... or rather, his acting; he didn't like cowards.
"May I have your name?"
Instead of watching Wu Er's enthusiastic performance, Niu Lan shifted her gaze to Han Qingxiu.
A little nervous, Han Qingxiu pursed her lips, feeling that although the two demon kings were quite frightening, they did not exude any killing intent.
So she carefully said, "Han Qingxiu."
"A good name."
Niu Lan nodded, and the demon king's gaze softened. Now, the way he looked at Han Qingxiu was like that of an elder looking at a junior.
This puzzled Han Qingxiu.
Wu Er was not puzzled, as he knew that not all the demons in the Eastern Wilderness harbored hatred towards the Pengshan Sect.
Just like in the mortal realm, the demon race in this Eastern Wilderness is also divided into factions, and Niu Lan should be relatively close to the human race.
It cannot be said that he is close to humans; it can only be said that Niu Lan is a sensible demon who knows that Pengshan Gate actually protects the remnants of the Eastern Wilderness demons.
Then Niu Lan said to Bai Luoxiao, "Get a set of chairs ready, let's treat these young people well."
Bai Luoxiao pouted, clearly somewhat unwilling.
His behavior shows that although Bai Luoxiao had no intention of killing Wu Er and the others, he was not very close to them either, at least not as close as Niu Lan.
However, Bai Luoxiao listened to Niu Lan's words and with a wave of her wide white sleeves, a set of chairs appeared out of thin air.
Niu Lan sat down first, and then Bai Luoxiao also sat down.
"Sit here."
Niu Lan, who had taken her seat, waved and beckoned Wu Er, Han Qingxiu, and Xiong Ao to sit down.
Of the three, Wu Er was the first to sit down, and he did so without any hesitation.
Even as she sat down, she didn't forget to act, saying in a tearful voice, "Yes, yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"
Seeing the attitudes of the two demon kings and Wu Er's unceremoniously sitting down, Han Qingxiu was momentarily confused.
What's going on? What does this mean?
Okay, even though she didn't understand the situation, Han Qingxiu still took her seat.
As for Xiong Ao... since he's already sat down, he might as well follow suit...
Of course, Niu Lan and Bai Luoxiao didn't pay much attention to the actors and those who followed suit, since they believed that Han Qingxiu was the most important of the three.
"Han Qingxiu, is it?" Niu Lan gave a less-than-pleasant smile. "What brings you to our demon race's territory?"
Although his voice was still deep, his tone was unusually gentle, which made Han Qingxiu break out in a cold sweat.
It's truly bizarre that a demon king would speak so kindly to a human cultivator.
However, since they had asked her a question, Han Qingxiu replied politely, "Senior Demon King, I came here because I accepted a sect trial."
Niu Lan nodded after listening. "This is to guard against those demons with ill intentions, right? Recently, ever since Meng Ji left, more and more demons have started to become restless."
Upon hearing this, Wu Er thought to himself: Meng Ji is indeed a demon king of the Eastern Wilderness, but it seems that he has only recently been promoted to demon king and doesn't know many things.
At this point, Bai Luoxiao interjected, "I heard that guy went to your sect a few days ago, and apparently got a beating from your master, right?"
Although Han Qingxiu was not very clear about the matter, she had heard that a demon king had attacked some time ago, so she nodded in agreement.
"Hmph, that kid deserves a beating too." Niu Lan twisted her nose and exhaled another puff of white air, clearly disapproving of Meng Ji's behavior.
After a while, Niu Lan calmed down and asked again, "Meng Ji stole our clan's sacred artifact. Is that artifact in your master's possession?"
Speaking of this, Bai Luoxiao also asked, "If it were in your master's hands, could you return the sacred object to my clan?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Er naturally knew that the two demons were referring to the Peerless Sword, which Meng Ji had recently tried to use to kill him.
"I'm not quite sure about that." Han Qingxiu forced a smile and tried to smooth things over, saying, "If it's really with my master, I'll tell him."
After saying this, Han Qingxiu tilted her head slightly and glanced at Wu Er out of the corner of her eye.
