Before Youyou could figure it out, someone told her to go out early the next morning.
"The Demonic Netherworld?" You You was taken aback. What kind of place is that?
"Yes! Today is the day the Demon Netherworld Sacred Realm manifests." The demon servant who came to report looked at her with eyes full of envy, as if she were about to become rich overnight. "To be personally led in by the city lord, you must have made a great gain. I congratulate you in advance."
"Is this Demonic Netherworld really that good?" You You hadn't expected that the reward Gong Xi promised her yesterday would be to take her to such a place.
"Honorable guest, you flatter me..." The demon servant smiled obsequiously. "That is an opportunity left behind by the ancient demon race. If we demons can understand even a little bit of it, we will benefit immensely. Not to mention, it is rumored that in the Demon Palace, one can obtain the Demon King's Seal and become the ruler of the Demon Realm. Although over the years, only the Bone Dragon Clan has become the Demon King, as long as one enters the center of the Holy Realm, there will definitely be gains."
"Is that so..." You You smiled, "Is the Holy Realm so wonderful that only the city lord can enter?"
"You flatter me, esteemed guest. Anyone can enter the Holy Realm! But it is dangerous inside, and one would not dare to enter the central area without considerable skill." The demon servant looked at her with even more envy. "However, esteemed guest need not worry. Our city lord is no ordinary demon. With her leading you, you will naturally be safe and sound."
"Oh, thank you for letting me know. I'll make some preparations and head over right away," You You said quickly.
The demon servant didn't linger; after delivering the message, he went back to report.
Seeing that the other party had walked away, You You returned to the house, closed the door, and looked at the two people in the middle. "What should I do? It seems that the city lord suddenly wants to take me to some secret realm. Could it be that she is worried that I will steal the 'Upper' scroll from her, so she is looking for a place to deal with me?"
“It shouldn’t be!” Yuan Qi shook his head and said, “If she really had murderous intent, she wouldn’t have waited until now to lure you to another place. She had many opportunities to make her move before.”
"So...she saw through our identities and cultivation levels?" You You continued to speculate, "That's why she called me out?"
Yuan Qi shook his head, but before he could speak, Feng Rong said first, "Your cultivation level is beyond even our comprehension! Do you think that fox has that ability?"
"..." Uh, that makes a lot of sense. "Then why is that?"
“Xiao You, don’t overthink it!” Yuan Qi analyzed. “Perhaps it’s not that complicated. Didn’t she say it was a reward before? Maybe she didn’t know about the ‘first’ volume at all. She just wanted to give you a chance in return for the opportunity you gave her when you pulled her out of the battle.”
"But if she didn't know, why didn't she just give me the bracelet instead of going through all this trouble?" You You couldn't understand.
Yuan Qi couldn't figure it out either, but Feng Rong frowned and said, "Forget it, whatever she wants to do, this so-called Demon Netherworld Holy Realm doesn't look like a good place. We're not comfortable letting you go alone. Since anyone can enter that Holy Realm, we'll hide among the demons and follow you there."
Yuan Qi nodded, then made a hand seal and planted something on her. He said in a deep voice, "Xiao You, once you go in with the city lord, just be flexible and adaptable. I've planted a tracking technique on you, so we'll be able to sense your location. If you encounter any danger, just crush the transformation pendant on your body. There's a teleportation array on it that can send us directly to your side."
"Okay." You You nodded, then discussed some contingency plans with the two of them. Seeing that it was almost time, he turned and headed towards the main hall.
From afar, she could see that Gong Xi was already waiting inside the hall. When she saw her come in, her eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly walked over before she could approach. "Ayou, you've come."
"Greetings, City Lord." You You clasped his hands in greeting and was about to bow when she was pulled up by her.
"Alright, let's go!" She grabbed her hand, looked her up and down, and frowned as if she had noticed something. "You're going in dressed like this? Why aren't you even wearing any robes?"
"Is it not okay?" Youyou glanced at her clothes. They looked perfectly normal, and Aunt Rong had even made them for her grandson herself. "I don't think there should be any problem, right?"
Gong Xi was about to speak when she suddenly remembered something, her face flushed, and she said, "You... you trust my abilities that much, and you're so sure I can protect you all the way?"
"..." Uh, she clearly believed in her own abilities.
"Never mind." Gong Xi turned her head slightly and walked out. "Let's go. Since I agreed to take you in, I will naturally ensure your safety."
She walked extremely fast, as if fleeing, and Youyou had no choice but to quicken her pace to catch up.
Youyou thought that since it was a secret realm, the entrance must be some distance away, but to her surprise, Gongxi did not fly there on her sword at all. Instead, she led the demons in the manor out of the door and walked along the usual shopping route to the main street of Chiyu City, and then stopped in the square in the center of the city.
The square was already packed with people, filled with demons, all well-equipped and armed, seemingly ready for a major battle. Upon seeing Gong Xi leading the way, the crowd automatically parted to make way.
Gong Xi walked toward the stone tablet standing in the square. The stone tablet was very strange. It was four or five meters high, but it was completely black and had no words on it. It was impossible to tell what material it was made of. It looked like a landmark building.
Gong Xi stopped in front of the stone tablet, glanced at it, and without saying a word, immediately began to mobilize demonic energy and cast spells. The entire stone tablet seemed to be activated, and red runes began to appear on its originally pure black surface, causing the tablet to twist and change accordingly.
Youyou then realized that this stone tablet was the entrance to the so-called Demon Netherworld Sacred Realm, which explained why they hadn't left the city. Taking advantage of the moment when Gong Xi opened the secret realm, she quickly turned to look at the demons in the square. After searching for a while, she indeed saw Feng Rong and Yuan Qi not far to her right, and immediately felt relieved.
Gong Xi didn't spend much time. As the demonic energy grew stronger, the runes on the stone tablet became brighter and brighter. In less than half a day, the entire stone tablet suddenly began to expand and stretch until it slowly turned into the shape of a door. However, the middle was still pitch black, and it was impossible to see where it led.
Gong Xi withdrew her hand, glanced at the demons in the city, and said coldly, "The Demon Netherworld Sacred Realm has been opened. Let each rely on their own abilities!"
After saying that, he glanced at her and walked inside, and Youyou quickly followed him in.
As soon as Gong Xi disappeared, the demons in the entire city seemed to have received some kind of signal and rushed into the entrance in a hurry.
