The Demon King's eyes swept coldly over Su Yao and the others. After a while, he slowly said, "Are you the young ones from the Immortal Clan?"
"Yes." Nalan Jingyue's tone was calm, without any ripples.
"You are quite courageous. You dare to come to me with such little strength. Tell me everything you know." The Demon King's tone was very calm. Su Yao and the other two had no way of guessing his thoughts.
The three of them exchanged a quick glance, and then Nalan Jingyue slowly spoke: "This matter still has to start from the alien monster that appeared that year..."
So Nalan Jingyue told them everything they knew, including his guesses about the origins of the monsters from other worlds, the reasons why the demons were sealed, the immortals' inability to ascend, and the possible danger of the dragons in the upper realm.
After hearing these words, the room fell silent, and Shivara's face was full of anger, but because the Demon King did not speak, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
After a long moment, the Demon King slowly spoke: "If what you said is true, then this matter is indeed of great importance. Even if we can break the seal of the Demon Clan, it will be useless if we cannot ascend to the Immortal Realm."
"Yes, that's why we hope you can consider going to the Immortal Clan to discuss important matters after the seal formation is broken. This matter is no longer a simple conflict between the three major clans. It is already linked to whether you can ascend to the Immortal Realm." Nalan Jingyue said with a serious face.
"Besides, we don't know what the situation in the upper fairyland is like now. Even if we can open the door to the fairyland, we can't guarantee what will happen after we ascend to the upper realm. After all, the people in the upper realm are deliberately preventing us from the lower fairyland from ascending to the upper realm. If we wait for them at the door of the fairyland, it will be more trouble than gain." Su Yao added on the side.
"That's right. Compared to ascending to the upper realm alone, I think all of us in the lower fairyland should unite and ascend at the same time. I think that the person from the upper realm must have had some huge conspiracy, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to design a plan to make our three races fight each other." Ning Jing also expressed her thoughts loudly.
"Haha, you've said everything. You've created this atmosphere. If I don't agree, it will seem like I don't have a sense of the overall situation. But are you immortals willing to break the formation that seals us demons?" The Demon King's tone in the first half of his sentence was still very casual, but when he talked about the formation, his voice suddenly changed and became cold in an instant.
Su Yao's expression remained unchanged. She spoke before Nalan Jingyue could say, "Demon King, this matter is so serious that our immortal race will definitely advance and retreat together with the demon race."
Seeing Su Yao said this, the Demon King didn't know what to say, so he looked at Su Yao with some appreciation, and then continued: "Yes, she is indeed a courageous girl. This is my son Shivara. I wonder if you are willing to marry him?"
As soon as these words came out, Shivara, Su Yao, and Nalan Jingyue said at the same time: "No!"
Shivara quickly looked at Su Yao and Nalan Jingyue below, and then quickly said: "Father, don't I like such a cunning fairy girl, or are the girls of our demon clan more suitable for me?"
Hearing Shivara say that Su Yao was scheming, Nalan Jingyue was instantly unhappy and said loudly: "Su Yao is already my Taoist partner, it is impossible for her to be with another man."
The voice was so loud that Su Yao felt a little embarrassed. Seeing that everyone in the hall was looking at her, she quickly spoke up and said, "Yes, Lord Demon King, he is my Taoist partner, so I can't be with Prince Shivara."
A look of pity instantly appeared on the devil's face, and then he said with some regret: "Is that so... That's really a pity. Hey, I wonder what about the fairy next to you? Is she willing to be with me?"
Ning Jing, who was watching the show intently, said: ??? ??? ?
Shivara quickly interrupted the Demon King: "Father! I really don't like immortal women!"
But the devil ignored him, cast a silencing spell on him and continued to look at Ning Jing, and Ning Jing reacted quickly.
He immediately explained, "Respected Demon King, I also have a Taoist partner. I will bring him here for you to see in two days."
"Alas. What a pity, these two little girls who are so brave and courageous already have a Taoist partner." The expression on the devil's face did not seem to be fake at all.
Su Yao and Ning Jing looked at each other quickly, and both saw fear in each other's eyes. Fortunately, this Demon King was still a reasonable man. If he wanted to forcefully promise one of them to Shivara, they would probably not be able to refuse. After all, the Demon King's strength was there. If they dared to refuse, they would definitely not see tomorrow's sun.
"Alas, it's such a pity. I was thinking of letting one of you become the princess of my eldest son. That way, I wouldn't have to worry about you going back on your word and leaving the demon clan and never coming back. Now it seems that I can only let one of you stay until the formation is broken." The Demon King spoke threateningly in the most friendly words.
The three of them exchanged a quick glance. Before Su Yao and Ning Jing could speak, Nalan Jingyue spoke calmly: "Of course. To show our sincerity, I will stay until the formation that trapped the demons is broken."
Hearing Nalan Jingyue's words, Su Yao and Ning Jing were shocked for a moment. Shouldn't this matter be decided after the four of them discussed it together?
The Demon King didn't care who was left behind, as long as he could leave one person as a hostage. Seeing that the man in front of him was so proactive, the Demon King did not hesitate to express his praise.
"Hahaha, good, you are indeed the descendant of the immortals. You have already realized this at such a young age. Since you agreed so readily, I also solemnly promise you that as long as the demon clan's formation is broken, I am willing to lead the entire demon clan and work with the immortals to deal with the affairs of the upper realm." The Demon King said with great pride.
"In that case, thank you very much for your understanding, Demon King." Nalan Jingyue smiled.
"Hahaha, very good, very good, let's talk about this here, you all can leave." The devil said in a good mood.
Then the Imperial Master led Su Yao and the other two to respectfully take their leave.
After the four of them left the hall, Shivara stepped forward and asked, "Father, do you really believe in those immortals?"
The Demon King then slowly put away the smile on his face. "Whether you believe it or not, the demons have been trapped in this Wuwang Sea for thousands of years. During these years of being sealed, not a single demon has successfully ascended to the upper realms. Rather than being trapped here forever, why not take a gamble? If we win, we might be able to open up another path. If we lose, it means we, the demons, are doomed to be trapped here forever."
