Jiang Lian returned to the Demon Palace. Compared to the last time when his sisters flocked to the palace, the palace was much quieter this time.

Apparently, after Sister Huanyue came back, she had already told her sisters about the trip. Although Witch Jiang didn't know how she would comment specifically, she had been running a long and boring journey, and then she had a fight with someone at her destination, and then she was sealed...

There was neither fun nor food, and even the most tolerant demon would not find this trip interesting, so the sisters quickly reached a consensus.

My sister has changed!

She used to take us out to play, but now she just makes us do the hard labor, running errands for her, taking bullets, and bearing damage!

Therefore, after discovering that Witch Jiang had returned, the sisters quickly chose to run away and scattered into the depths of the Demon Palace, refusing to let Jiang Li secretly capture any of them.

But now that Witch Jiang is the eldest sister with the strongest power, how could she let them go just because “the younger sister doesn’t want to go”?

Soon she used her magic power, transformed into a dark cloud, and rushed into the depths of the Demon Palace with a wild laugh.

Not long after, she returned with her sister who looked like she had lost her parents.

"Good sister, please forgive me!" The other party kept begging for mercy, "I am the weakest among all the sisters, and I really can't help you, sister!"

This sister's name is "Qingshang". She seems to be the first one among all the sisters to know about the return of Witch Jiang. Therefore, she guessed that this sister probably has some secret methods of investigation or calculation, and threatened her:

"Stop talking nonsense. How did you know I was back? Tell me now!"

The Love-Broken Witch was obviously much more cunning. On the surface, she pretended to be pitiful, young and helpless, but in fact, she was full of lies. She first said that "other sisters tipped her off." When Jiang Li secretly asked her to say who tipped her off, she changed her words and said, "I just happened to see my sister coming back outside, so I notified the other sisters."

Witch Jiang finally lost her patience and tore off her arms, swallowing them into her own black mist, and warned:

"Tell me a lie once and I'll bite off a part of your body. Just think about how much body you have left to continue playing tricks on me!"

The emotional trauma almost made her vomit blood, thinking about the rumors spread by the sisters before, saying that Sister Li An had kept a man outside, but was abandoned by the man, so she had become mentally ill. Now it seems that it is true!

We are all daughters of the devil and sisters. How can we force our younger sister to do work for us? If she refuses to do it, we should bully her severely!

I can complain in my heart, but now the situation is stronger than me, and there is nothing I can do to hurt my feelings. I can only say honestly:

"I previously studied the magic skills left by my father and discovered a 'Shuyu Finger Calculation Sutra'. The content is difficult and obscure, and I, your sister, have only studied the basics..."

"It's okay!" Jiang Li'an waved his hand, "It's just right that you can do magic. Sister, I'm looking for someone who knows magic. I'll need you in the future!"

After saying that, she picked up her emotional injury and flew towards the celestial sphere of the cultivation world.

However, on the Eastern Emperor Realm side, as the Jiaolong clan entered the imperial capital and the peace talks among the princes were gradually signed, the situation began to stabilize.

At this point, the power turmoil caused by the sudden death of Emperor Qilin has finally come to an end.

The Jiaolong clan, which returned to the pinnacle of power, received the joint support of four princes, which is quite rare in history.

For the Canglong clan, the Jiaolong royal family is "relatives who need to rely on them"; for the Xuanwu clan, they are "old friends with a historical friendship." Therefore, these two clans are currently the core allies of the Jiaolong clan, and are still very actively deepening their relationship with the royal family to further expand their influence.

The Vermilion Birds were immersed in the joy of defeating their old enemy, and had no other thoughts for the time being. The White Tigers were the losers in the war between the princes, and from a historical perspective, they were also the most likely to launch a subsequent rebellion.

But the most wonderful thing is that the Dragon Fox also has the bloodline of the Sky Fox clan, so the resistance within Xizhou is not strong. Everyone prefers to lie dormant and admit defeat for the time being, and then let the Sky Fox clan take advantage of the advantage of your maternal clan and regain the authority of the Mao clan in the upper political arena of the empire.

Therefore, the Eastern Emperor Realm also ushered in a rare and long-awaited peace.

Now that the Jiaolong royal family has returned to the imperial capital, the only thing they need to guard against is a possible counterattack from the Qilin clan.

But the Empress Dragon Fox did not seem to have any intention of further consolidating her power. She just divided the power cake left by Qilin with the other three princes as quickly as possible, and then set off to the world of cultivation.

The natural gate to the world of cultivation is located deep in a valley somewhere in the wilderness in the western part of Zhongzhou. It was the entrance through which the demon race migrated into this world in the past.

However, because the opposite side was blocked by the true fire of the sun, it has been completely abandoned for thousands of years, and normally no demons would come here.

Even because of the tremendous heat of the sun's true fire, which was transmitted to this side through the natural gate, the valley is almost like summer all year round. Drought and high temperature take turns to invade, and there is almost no grass growing. The nearby Mao tribe will not even come to the vicinity of the valley.

One day, a large group of people suddenly arrived near the valley entrance.

Almost all the members of the team were at the level of demon kings, and they surrounded a noble lady in the center like stars surrounding the moon, and then dispersed in an orderly manner. Those who were investigating, those who were left behind, and those who were on guard in the surrounding areas all acted in an orderly manner.

"Auntie." Long Hu asked again to confirm, "After passing through this natural gate, the other side is the world of cultivation, right?"

"Not that fast." Hu Li explained patiently, "The Gate of the Natural Chasm is a very long transmission channel, so the space transmission also takes a certain amount of time... at least a quarter of an hour."

"After arriving at the cultivation world, the first place we arrived at was the base of the Heavenly Chasm Gate. The periphery of the base was completely blocked by the Sun's True Fire, so we couldn't leave the base rashly, otherwise we would be burned to ashes."

Dragon Fox pondered for a moment and asked:

"Then how did my aunt pass through the sun's true fire?"

Hu Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"My sister once left me something... But that's not important. As long as Your Majesty arrives there, he will definitely be able to go through the blockade downstream."

"Because the one who left the Sun's True Fire to block the road was your Majesty's grandfather."

After hearing this, Longhu was stunned for a moment, then he lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The elders who were investigating ahead passed through the gate of the natural moat first. About two quarters of an hour later, one of them returned to the Eastern Emperor Realm along the same route and reported to Dragon Fox:

"Your Majesty, there is no problem on the other side of the door. It is indeed as Elder Hu Li said, it is completely surrounded and blocked by the Sun's True Fire, and it is impossible to pass through. But as long as you stay within the range of the pedestal, you will be fine."

"I understand." Dragon Fox quickly issued an order, "Go through the gate of the natural moat in batches."

At the command of the demon emperor, the elders of each tribe quickly divided into groups and began to head to the world of cultivation.

Longhu himself was the third group to pass through the Gate of Natural Chasm. He only felt that he seemed to have passed through a thick and tough water film, and then fell downwards - saying "downwards" is not accurate, because there is no gravity here, so it is difficult to distinguish up and down, left and right.

She counted to a thousand in her mind, and her surrounding perception finally returned to normal.

The first impression upon arriving at the world of cultivation was that it was extremely hot.

The surrounding sun fire was like an ocean, emitting nearly infinite light and heat. The first few batches of Xuanwu elders who arrived had already joined forces to cast spells, trying to isolate the high temperature from outside.

But even if many people joined forces, they could only weaken the intensity of the heat wave. It would be a pipe dream to want to pass through the flames.

Dragon Fox stared at the sea of ​​fire in front of him for a long time, and asked with some difficulty:

"Grandfather?"

There was no movement ahead, only continuous flames leaping and dancing, continuing to radiate light and heat around.

"I, I have human blood in my body." Long Hu continued to speak, "My grandmother is Yin Xiaojing, I..."

Before he could finish his words, the sea of ​​fire ahead suddenly split into two sides, revealing a wide road.

"Dragon Fox!" Hu Li couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Dragon Fox taking that road without hesitation.

But Longhu just turned around and smiled, and comforted her:

"It's okay, auntie."

"After all…he is my grandfather, right?"

Having said that, Longhu turned around again and walked forward with a determined look.

As she went deeper, there was still an endless sea of ​​fire on both sides, and the road behind her was gradually engulfed by the flames as she moved away.

In other words, even if I regret it now, there is no way to go back.

The dragon fox was subconsciously a little nervous, but at this point he had no choice. Besides, in order to find Long Long, passing through the Sun's True Fire was the only way.

Thinking of Long Long, her petite body seemed to be injected with endless courage, and she continued to move forward firmly.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Longhu was feeling a little thirsty due to the high temperature around him. He was feeling dizzy and suddenly saw a figure sitting in front of him.

It was a golden-red soul, and judging from its outline it should be a human, but its aura was too dead and bleak.

Beside him, a long sword of ancient shape was inserted diagonally into the ground, and the surrounding soil had been sintered into a glass-like state.

"Who are you?" Longhu asked cautiously.

"Are you...her descendant?" the soul also asked her.

The other person's voice was a little strange, as if it was choked with some intense, painful sobs, but also with some irrepressible expectation and hope.

"I don't know." Long Hu said somewhat sadly, "My mother died not long after I was born."

"But Long Long said that my mother was Yin Xiaojing who went to the cultivation world that year with the intention of stealing the Taiyin Suming Sword."

The golden-red soul did not answer. He was silent for a long, long time before he slowly spoke:

"What is your bloodline? I have no way of telling."

"Oh, my bloodline was reshaped by the secret method of the Jiaolong clan." Longhu explained frankly, "Because of my father and mother, I have the blood of human, dragon, and fox since I was born. Because of the conflict of bloodlines, my mother used the fragments of the Bu Tian Stone to seal my dragon bloodline..."

She rambled on and on about how Long Long helped her, and the golden-red soul sighed with emotion and said:

"I can only faintly sense the aura of my bloodline from you, but since your mother used the fragments of the Heaven-Repairing Stone to seal your bloodline, then perhaps you really are the person I have been waiting for all these years..."

Long Hu suddenly felt a little sad in her heart, because she had actually heard from Long Long about her grandmother's investigation and speculation. She knew that she had used the fragments of the Bu Tian Stone to seal her own bloodline, and thus successfully infiltrated the Emei Sword Sect in the world of cultivation, and had almost succeeded.

Although the fox girl was passionate, she was ultimately easily trapped by love. Because she deeply loved the Sun Sword Master of the human race, she eventually gave up the Taiyin Su Ming Sword and returned alone. Later, she was exiled to Xizhou while pregnant, and no force in the entire Donghuang Realm was willing to take her in.

The same tragic fate also happened to Longhu's mother.

Because Emperor Yinglong fell into the human world, the Jiaolong clan expelled this unwelcome fox girl back to Xizhou. Then, because she was unwilling to submit to the clan's arrangements, she left alone and embarked on the same wandering path as her mother.

Now, it is my turn to leave my hometown again...

She couldn't help but shed tears. The crystal tears slid down her cheeks and were evaporated by the heat as they fell.

Jinhong's soul was still recalling the past, but gradually he became unable to speak.

The image of the crying girl in front of him and the image of his wife in his memory, who was also crying helplessly and was pushed into the gate of the chasm by him, slowly overlapped.

...I have been dead for so many years that I can hardly even remember my own name, but only my wife and the children in her belly still linger in my heart like shackles.

The last Sun Sword Master was silent for a long time, but did not ask Longhu in detail about how Yin Xiaojing spent the rest of his life after returning to the East Emperor Realm, because that was something that did not require any guessing.

The obsession that had always bound him to this world had begun to dissipate gradually - he knew that his and Yin Xiaojing's descendants were still alive in the world, and that seemed to be enough.

"You seem to love Long Long very much." The Lord of the Sun Sword suddenly said.

"Yes." Long Hu wiped away his tears and sniffed his blocked nose. "I came to the cultivation world this time just to find him."

She looked firmly at the face of the golden and red soul and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"Grandfather, please open the way and let me pass... because I must find him back!"

After a long silence, the Sun Sword Master suddenly raised his arm.

The Sun Zhenmei Sword that was inserted into the ground suddenly turned into a golden light and shot up into the sky.

Then he looked at Longhu gently and said:

"I will soon be at rest."

"The Sun Sword is the sacred weapon of the human race. Grandfather couldn't give it to you, so he let it go to find its master."

"Grandfather can't let these demons you brought here go and harm the world, but the Sun True Sword is gone, and the Sun True Fire here can only last for thirty to fifty years at most."

"Grandfather hopes that you can restrain these demons and not invade the human world after the gate of the natural moat is completely opened... or in other words, try to avoid doing so, okay?"

"I'll try my best." Longhu nodded.

"Okay." The Sun Sword Master pointed his finger again, and suddenly a golden-red lotus mark bloomed between Dragon Fox's eyebrows, and then slowly disappeared into the depths of her eyebrows.

"This is the swordsmanship attainment that my grandfather has accumulated throughout his life. I will leave it to you as a legacy." The golden-red soul dimmed, and his tone was full of loneliness. "I'm sorry, child, I couldn't protect you and your mother, and her..."

The soul gradually disappeared. Longhu stood up blankly and looked forward.

She suddenly stretched out two fingers and tentatively moved them forward.

The true fire of the sun seemed to have received an order and split into two paths.
