After Liuli and Li Molin returned to Mingshan, the ten demon generals returned one after the other. Under Li Molin's questioning, they learned that the two groups of demon generals originally commanded large and powerful armies, making it easy for them to conquer a Daoist sect. However, just as they began their attack on the two sects, numerous Daoist priests from other sects suddenly arrived to reinforce them. Seeing that they could not break through the two sects and unwilling to suffer further casualties, the ten demon generals had no choice but to retreat.
Liuli looked deep in thought and asked in a low voice, "Who led the Taoist priests who went to the rescue?"
The ten demon generals pondered for a moment, and most of them shook their heads and said they didn't know. Only one of the demon generals hesitated and said, "I saw that among the many Taoists who came to the rescue, there was a young man who was in charge the most. Although he was not very old, everyone seemed to trust him. I remember his name was... Liang Yihan."
"Liang Yihan!" Liuli said coldly, her face filled with hatred. "I knew it was him who did this. I'm afraid he's the one who tipped off the Buddhist sect!"
Li Molin shook his head and said in a low voice, "Don't be angry, Liuli. We'll have plenty of opportunities in the future. Sooner or later, we'll destroy the righteous path in the Central Plains and reclaim it!"
Liuli's expression remained somber. After a moment of silence, she whispered, "Okay."
The eldest of the ten demon generals bowed to Li Molin and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, did you hear the chanting just now?"
Li Molin nodded in response, "I heard it. I'm waiting for a clansman to send a demonic bird to report the location from which the chanting was coming from."
As they were talking, a clear bird song suddenly came from the sky. Li Molin and Liuli looked over and saw several black-feathered birds flying quickly down and landing on Li Molin's shoulder, chirping sweetly.
After a long while, the demonic bird stopped singing. Li Molin turned to look at Liuli, the only one present who couldn't understand the demonic bird's call, and explained, "It's in the Bodhi Forest next to Prajna Lake."
Then, Li Molin turned to the ten demon generals and said in a deep voice, "Demon generals, let's set off for Prajna Lake!"
"Yes!" The ten demon generals bowed in agreement and left one after another to reorganize their troops.
A moment later, under Li Molin's orders, the ten demon generals left half of their demon soldiers to guard Mingshan, and together with five thousand demon soldiers, one thousand Xuanjia soldiers led by Li Molin, and more than three hundred divine beast youths led by Liuli, they took to the air and flew quickly toward Prajna Lake.
A vast expanse of magical light stretched across the sky, emitting a series of loud, boisterous sounds as it flew forward, creating an unusually lively atmosphere.
The demons flew swiftly and soon arrived at Prajna Lake.
Standing on the shore of Prajna Lake, Liuli looked around. The lake water was crystal clear, displaying a beautiful turquoise color. Schools of small fish could be seen swimming leisurely in the water, creating ripples. The five small islands on the lake were still there, covered with lush greenery. From a distance, they were a verdant sight, showing no sign of desolation even in winter.
Beside the lake, the Bodhi grove grew luxuriantly, its abundant branches rustling in the breeze.
Returning to this place after more than thirty years, Liuli found that nothing had changed; what had changed was her state of mind.
