Just as Venerable Guanglingzi said at the beginning, the only one in this world who can condemn Xuan Lingzi is Demon Venerable Mo Qianqiu.
However, Mo Qiu glanced at Qin Guihe coldly and sneered, "Does this mean that if the contract is terminated, our human race will be afraid of the demon race? A hundred years ago, we were able to force them to sign the contract, and a hundred years later, it will still be the same!"
Qin Guihe complained, "But Palace Master, you're already in the Out-of-Body Stage. If you're given a few more years, you'll have the opportunity to cultivate to the Tribulation Crossing Stage, or even the Mahayana Stage! When your two bodies merge into one and you truly enter the Spiritual Transformation Stage, we won't need to fear the demon race anymore! If we suddenly start a war now, it will affect your Blood Spirit Technique!"
Mo Qiu chuckled softly, "Am I afraid of them?"
Qin Guihe said again: "Palace Master!"
Mo Qiu said calmly, "There's no need to blame Xuan Lingzi too much for this matter. I could at least leave the Demon Realm secretly within the past hundred years, but Xuan Lingzi actually stayed on Mount Taihua for a hundred years. So what if the contract is terminated? Remember to keep an eye on the border between the Thirteen Seas and the Demon Realm and be wary of attacks from the demon clan."
After Mo Qiu finished explaining these things, he went straight into seclusion, leaving the mess to Qin Guihe and the others.
The only people in the entire Demonic Palace who knew that Mo Qiu was Mo Qianqiu were the Left Guardian Qin Guihe, the Right Guardian Qin Siyi, the Steward Qi Luo, and the Witch Yunxiang. Now that Mo Qiu was about to go into seclusion, the relevant matters naturally fell on their shoulders, and even Yunxiang was busy.
For months, they'd been busy arranging these things, keeping a close eye on the Thirteen Seas. Qin Guihe frowned in frustration, complaining, "If only it had been a few years longer, allowing the Palace Master to cultivate to the Mahayana stage, how wonderful it would have been! Why did it have to be now..."
Qin Siyi glanced at him, his handsome face expressionless, and said: "The laws of nature are constant. Can you change anything by complaining here?"
Qin Guihe's mouth twitched, and he said, "Can't you just say a few nice words to comfort me?"
Qin Siyi shook his head: "I only tell the truth."
Qin Guihe: "..."
A moment later, Qin Guihe drew his broadsword and charged directly at Qin Siyi. Qin Siyi simply dodged, offering no resistance. The two of them chased each other across the Demonic Palace. In the end, Qi Luo intervened, saying helplessly, "If the Palace Master knew you were causing trouble again, she would definitely punish you again."
Qin Guihe naturally knew that Qi Luo was talking about him. He curled his lips in frustration and stopped talking.
In the Demonic Palace, everyone was busy with their own affairs. Meanwhile, on Mount Taihua, Hao Xingzi received a letter from Xuan Lingzi. He then called on the four major sects and the eight great families to gather on Mount Taihua to discuss how to eliminate the remnants of the demon race that had been left behind in the Thirty-Six States a hundred years earlier.
This discussion lasted three days and three nights. Finally, Venerable Hao Xingzi concluded, "For the past hundred years, the two races have been at peace, so these demon pawns haven't played any role. But now that the contract is broken, the demons can attack at any time. We need to remove these pawns one by one. Once the demons hide, their presence becomes weak, making it difficult to detect them. However, this time, the search for the demons is urgent. All major sects must make arrangements immediately after returning, and we must resolve this within a year!"
Venerable Hao Xingzi spoke solemnly and did not allow for any objection.
The elders of the Broken Soul Sect wanted to say something more, trying to gain some benefits for their sect, but unexpectedly, Venerable Hao Xingzi drew his sword and attacked, saying coldly: "With a powerful enemy at hand, where is personal gain? Broken Soul Sect, do you want to abandon our human race and betray us?"
Hao Xingzi's words were so serious that the elder was speechless.
At the same time, after many days of trekking, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi finally arrived at a somewhat famous city called Yingfeng City.
Yingfeng City is a hundred miles from Mount Taihua and is a city in Wusha State, the closest nation to the mountain. Wusha State belongs to Liuzhou, one of the Thirty-Six Provinces, and is merely one of the dozens of states within Liuzhou. Cities like Yingfeng City are frequented by cultivators, so when Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi entered the city, someone quickly came forward to show them the way.
Following the guide, Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi soon found an inn specifically for monks. After giving the guide a spirit stone, the man happily left. Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi then entered the inn and rented a room on the upper floor.
The two of them simply packed their luggage, and soon changed into simple and plain clothes and went out together.
Luo Jianqing said, "Although I've been to this kind of mortal city before, I've never really explored it in detail. I've been to Yingfeng City before. When I was in the Foundation Establishment Stage, I led that batch of new disciples to Liuzhou for training, and we stayed in Yingfeng City. They have a very delicious snack here called Fenggao."
Xuan Lingzi had been fasting for many years and had no interest in these snacks, but when he saw Luo Jianqing's happy expression, he asked, "Why is it called Fenggao?"
Luo Jianqing smiled mysteriously and said, "Because there is an important ingredient in this wind cake, it is the nectar of the wind-dwelling flower. When you eat this wind cake, you can taste the sweet fragrance of the wind-dwelling flower, as if a breeze is blowing. It is very delicious."
Soon, Luo Jianqing found the shop that specialized in making Fenggao.
As expected, even though this wind cake was very expensive and used the first-grade spiritual medicine Fengqi Flower as an ingredient, there were still many people willing to pay a high price to buy it and have a taste. Luo Jianqing pulled Xuan Lingzi to the back of the line and started queuing up to buy wind cakes.
When it was their turn, there was only one piece of wind cake left. Luo Jianqing took out three low-grade spirit stones and bought the wind cake. As they turned to leave, they heard a low sob.
Luo Jianqing's hearing was far superior to that of an ordinary person. He turned around and saw a little girl who looked about six years old wiping her cheeks with her chubby little hands. Although she tried not to make too much noise, tears flowed from her big round eyes.
