Xingnu continued, "Besides those hidden passages, the only open way for the demon race and the human race to communicate is through the desolate city."
"Desolate City?" Zu An was a little curious. He had been cramming on some knowledge about the Great Zhou Dynasty recently, but he only knew a general idea about the demon race and had never heard of this name.
Yu Yanluo helped explain: "The Desolate City is located in the southeast of the demon race's territory. It is a buffer zone between the demon race and the human race, and it is also a notorious no-man's-land. Both the demon race and the human race have to pass through the Desolate City to enter their respective territories. It is a place where all sorts of people mingle and it is very dangerous."
At this moment, Yun Jianyue added, "That's fine, but what's more troublesome is that to get from the Snake Clan to the Desolate City, it seems we have to pass through the Demon Clan's Royal Court."
With their cultivation levels, even if they were injured, they should have recovered some strength by the time they arrived in the Desolate City, so they naturally wouldn't be afraid of the dangers there.
However, if they were to pass through the Demon Clan's Royal Court, there would be countless experts there, especially the Demon Emperor, who was a master on par with Zhao Hao. Even in their prime, they wouldn't be able to defeat him, so passing through there would be far too dangerous.
Yan Xuehen's delicate brows furrowed slightly, clearly indicating that she had the same idea as her.
Xingnu didn't understand: "What trouble is there in passing through the royal court? In my opinion, the most troublesome thing is the snake clan itself."
"The inside of the Serpent Clan?" Now, not only Zu'an, but even Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue were very curious. Wasn't Yu Yanluo the clan leader? What trouble could she be in?
Xingnu explained with a worried expression: "Although the lady has Medusa blood and is the nominal clan leader, she has always preferred to stay among humans and rarely comes back to the snake clan. She only helps to transport the snake clan's scarce living supplies in Cloud County. The specific affairs of the snake clan are managed by some respected elders. Over time, the lady only has a nominal title, and the actual power of the snake clan is in the hands of those elders."
"Among the elders, the most powerful are Elders Bai and Qing. They have always been ambitious. In the past, they relied on Madam to provide them with living supplies and may have outwardly obeyed her. Now that Madam has lost power in Yunzhong County and returned to the Snake Clan's territory, they may harbor evil intentions."
Yun Jianyue and Yan Xuehen, both leaders of their respective sects, immediately realized that this situation was very troublesome, as Yu Yanluo was clearly being sidelined by the power faction below.
Zuan's expression brightened when he heard that Elders Bai and Qing were two old men, but he immediately lost interest after hearing that they were two old men.
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Let's go back to the tribe first." Yu Yanluo was quite calm. She had just confirmed her relationship with Zu'an and was in the honeymoon phase. As long as she was with him, other worries didn't matter much.
