A few days later, at the gate of the natural boundary.
"Just a few of you?" Shi Liuli looked around.
A total of five people came out of the natural ravine. In addition to the Dragon Fox, there were four other cultivators, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, Black Turtle and Blue Dragon, but they looked unfamiliar.
"If you have something to say, just say it now." Dragon Fox said coldly, its tail wagging back and forth behind it.
"Don't worry." Shi Liuli smiled slightly, "I came here alone, and I didn't set up an ambush here."
"She's right." Feng Yan wandered around for a moment, "There is indeed no ambush."
"Thank you." Longhu nodded to her in thanks, then looked at Shi Liuli again, with some surprise in his tone, "Aren't you afraid that we will turn against you and attack you?"
"I'm afraid." Shi Liuli smiled unchanged, "But if the person I invited in the letter is really the Dragon Fox who unified the Eastern Emperor Realm, I think he won't do such a meaningless thing."
"Is it meaningless?" Feng Yan returned to Dragon Fox and sneered, "Not necessarily. Dong You's divination ability is well-known in the cultivation world. If he becomes an enemy of my demon clan, it will be a big problem."
"I can't see that I have the potential to become a great enemy of the demon race." Shi Liuli still smiled faintly, "But your great enemy is definitely not me."
"Oh, who is that?" Longhu asked calmly.
"In my opinion, the current demons of the Eastern Emperor Realm are not qualified to be the enemy of the human race." Shi Liuli pointed out, "Even if the Sun True Darkness Sword is pulled out now, the natural moat is now open, why haven't the demons attacked the cultivation world?"
"Isn't it because we love peace?" Qi Yingzhu suddenly said.
Shi Liuli looked at the White Tiger monk in surprise, and the other demon monks also glared at her. Qi Yingzhu knew that she had said something stupid, so she quickly explained:
"No, I'm not saying we're scared. Maybe our internal situation isn't suitable for war?"
"I guessed it a long time ago." Shi Liuli said calmly, "Although you are all collectively called the demon race, in fact, the differences, disagreements, and even hatred between different races are far greater than the relationship between you and the human race."
"Of course, perhaps Your Majesty will be able to change the scattered situation of the Eastern Emperor Realm in the future, just like your father did in the past."
Long Hu's face suddenly turned dark, as he heard the sarcasm in Shi Liuli's words.
As powerful as your father is, who has the final say in the Eastern Emperor Realm, he can indeed become an enemy of the human race (but what will be your father's fate?).
In fact, this time when she decided to come to the cultivation world again to keep her appointment, the opposition from the demon clan princes was much louder than the first time, and it was only because her father stayed behind to suppress the opposition that nothing happened.
To put it bluntly, the demon clan princes had no concerns about the cultivation world. This world might be the world where their ancestors lived, but it was completely unfamiliar to most of the demon clans today. They didn't want to go to a strange world to fight for their lives just because of the emperor's idle thoughts.
"Speaking of this, where is your father?" Shi Liuli suddenly asked.
"Father didn't come this time." Longhu replied.
If Emperor Yinglong doesn't come, things will be a bit difficult... Shi Liuli thought to himself.
As everyone knows, the Demon Palace is filled with great and free demons, and each of them has the strength comparable to that of an immortal.
Of course, the so-called "immortal-level strength" lies in their immortality, concealment and cunningness, which are enough to make any immortal helpless, not to say that they can defeat immortals in a head-on battle.
Taking the Seven Treasures Xuanyuan Secret Realm in the past as an example, Qiu Changtian, who was only in the Nascent Soul Realm at that time, was enough to kill the illusory Great Freedom Heavenly Demon head-on... and then the opponent was resurrected infinitely and almost drained Qiu Changtian's true essence dry.
No matter whether it is the Nascent Soul Realm or the Immortal Realm, they can't actually be the opponent of the Great Free Heavenly Demon, because there is no spiritual energy outside the celestial sphere, and the true essence is ultimately limited. However, the true essence capacity of the Immortal Realm and the Nascent Soul Realm is too different, even for the sake of durability, it is better to bring more immortals.
But if Emperor Yinglong can't come, it would be very difficult for you guys to succeed with just your strength.
Shi Liuli sighed in his heart, thinking to himself, it would be good to have a little more strength after all, and if it really doesn't work, he can use it to muddy the waters in the end.
"My husband... in your place he's called Long Long. He should be trapped in the Demonic Palace." She dropped the bombshell news right away.
As expected, Dragon Fox immediately became serious, and it was obvious that he was not completely ignorant of the Heavenly Demon Palace:
"Are you sure?"
"Of course." Shi Liuli said calmly, "There is no point in doubting. You can only trust me, you have no choice."
"But I need to be responsible for them." Longhu insisted.
"I can't explain the matter of divination to you clearly." Shi Liuli was silent for a moment, then said, "But what I can reveal is that among his... wives, there is a demon."
The dragon and fox were silent for a long time.
Although she had been to the world of cultivation to snatch her husband, she was not actually interested in what was happening in the human world—she was not interested in knowing how many wives her husband had, nor did she want to say hello to her sisters.
But he even dares to collude with the devil... I can only say that it is incredible that my Long Long can survive until now.
"So what we have to deal with is the devil." Longhu said thoughtfully.
"No, it's not just the demons." Shi Liuli said meaningfully, "You should understand what I mean."
"...You mean, we should join forces?" Long Hu asked tentatively.
…
After Shi Liuli left, Gui Ling'er spoke:
“I don’t think this person can be trusted.”
"The Penglai Cave is deep and has the ability to calculate the universe with one's fingers. And these human cultivators who are good at calculating are almost all great masters who are good at setting traps for others. In the words of our ancestors, it is 'seeking the skin of a tiger'. You won't know how you will die when the time comes."
"What do you mean by 'seeking the skin of a tiger'?" Qi Yingzhu protested. "If you look at the problem from the perspective of racial discrimination, you will naturally think that this is a risk and that is also a risk. Is it possible that these risks are just scaring yourself?"
"Sister Yingzhu has a point." Qin Ye said carefully, "I'm not saying that Sister Ling'er is worrying too much, but the main problem at the moment is... we don't have any other sources of information."
"Indeed." Feng Yan thought and said, "The disappearance of that person is also a key secret of all major sects in the human race, and it is impossible to get access to it through ordinary means. This Dong You is willing to provide information, which is a rare breakthrough for us, but we must be careful not to be tricked by her."
"We didn't have much choice in the first place, and this was also part of her calculations." Dragon Fox slowly concluded, "But she must have needed to rely on us in some way, otherwise she wouldn't have come across the chasm to communicate with us."
"This is considered treason within the human race, right?" Feng Yan chuckled, "It also gives us a handle."
"Dongyou is in a high position in Penglai. If we instruct others to tell the truth, no one will believe it." Longhu sighed and said, "The key is, if what she said is true."
"Then we have to face not only the Heavenly Demons, but also competitors from Kunlun and Shushan. It is not an exaggeration to say that these two sects combined have the strength of half the human race."
"Does Your Majesty have any concerns?" Qi Yingzhu suddenly asked.
"It doesn't matter." Dragon Fox gritted his teeth and said, "No matter how worried I am, I have to fight for my life!"
