At this time, Sheng Ning's height was not considered tall in the cultivation world.
Standing at just over 1.6 meters tall, her height wouldn't have remained that way if she hadn't been forced to advance to the Golden Core stage.
Shi Yueyao, who was in front of her, was progressing slowly, and this time she was more than half a head taller than her.
Therefore, no matter how forceful her words were, she still had to tilt her head back to make eye contact with the person in front of her.
Taking a deep breath, she resisted the urge to run to the soft couch to stand and talk to Shi Yueyao from above.
Seeing a slight daze in Shi Yueyao's eyes.
She curled her lips into a smile, her red lips parting slightly, "They're all because of you... I mean, what's going on?!"
The words were on the tip of his tongue but he hadn't finished saying them.
The sudden tremor beneath her feet caused Sheng Ning to sway involuntarily.
The palace, which had just seemed empty, was instantly filled with demons.
"Demon Lord, someone is attacking Ghost Locust."
The Ghost Tree serves as a medium between the demon and human realms, allowing demons to freely enter and exit the human realm.
Someone is attacking Ghost Tree now. Once Ghost Tree is captured, the demons will soon fall as well.
The Demon Lord did not expect that the human cultivators would discover the Demon Clan's secret so quickly.
He first looked up at Sheng Ning, and when he stood up, his figure swayed in the air for a moment.
Sheng Ning blinked and saw the other person standing in front of her.
"Ayao, I'll take her out for a bit first, then you can go back and rest, okay?"
Who would have thought that a man, the lord of the demon race, would ever speak in such a humble tone, begging for help?
Shi Yueyao was still reeling from what Sheng Ning had just finished saying.
Upon hearing the man say he was going to take Sheng Ning away, she immediately frowned. "Why must you take her away?"
"She's cunning; what if she runs away..."
The Demon Lord gently placed a kiss on the corner of her lips, and as their two cool lips touched, a complex expression appeared in the Demon Lord's eyes.
"If she runs away, I will kill her immediately."
Standing to the side, watching the couple's antics, Sheng Ning thought, "...Did you guys even consider how the people involved feel?!"
Feeding her dog food is one thing, but then they want to kill her without warning.
Doesn't Sheng Ning have any pride?!
Shi Yueyao ignored Sheng Ning's resistance.
Instead, his gaze toward the Demon Lord held a newfound trust. "She's cunning; don't be fooled by her."
The Demon Lord raised his hand and gently stroked her black hair. After nodding, his gaze towards Sheng Ning held a chilling wariness.
Sheng Ning said, "There's no need to be so wary of me. How could a mere Nascent Soul cultivator like me possibly defy the heavens?"
The Demon Lord nodded with satisfaction at Sheng Ning's self-awareness.
After instructing his subordinates to escort Shi Yueyao back to her palace, he then grabbed Sheng Ning by the back of her collar and led her out of the palace.
"My life is also a life, Demon Lord. Even if you let me go, I can still walk away. Besides, your cultivation is so high that even if I run away, you can still take my head on the spot, right?"
The Demon Lord nodded upon hearing this, "That is true, but A Yao said we shouldn't believe what you say."
Sheng Ning was speechless.
What happened to the trust between people?
Besides, is she really such a dishonest person?
The tremors on the ground continued to intensify.
The churning lava outside the palace surged violently due to the tremors of the ground.
Sheng Ning looked up at the dark sky. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but at the moment when the ground was trembling most violently, it seemed as if the sky above her head was about to break open.
It was as if something was forcefully tearing the sky apart.
-
"How is it? Can you split it?"
Inside Youyun City.
The demon army had already retreated when Miehun was cut in two.
Su Daiyuan and the others did not relax. The tension that had been building during the battle only increased after the demon army retreated.
Their junior sister was swallowed by a locust tree not long ago.
They had previously visited Youyun City to deal with the demon race, so they naturally recognized that this locust tree was the key to opening the passage to the demon realm.
After circling the locust tree for a long time, the group still couldn't find a way to get in.
We've tried every trick in the book, but the locust tree remains unmoved.
Until the enhanced laser cannon left behind by the junior sister hit the locust tree.
They were astonished to find that the locust tree was bleeding.
The spiritual energy within his body had already been almost completely depleted.
Left with no other choice, they had to rely on the enhanced laser cannon, Qi Wenyao's natal sword, and the eight-star Kunwu sword to directly shave off the bark of the locust tree.
They stripped the bark off the entire locust tree and found nothing wrong except that it was bleeding.
It was as if they had been dreaming when they found the entrance to the demon realm from the locust tree.
"If all else fails, we can split the tree. Even if it doesn't open the demon passage, we can dry it and take it back as firewood."
Yu's rambling voice rang in everyone's ears.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingan turned her head and glanced at him, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute."
Yu Ye's expression was not good.
During the battle with the demon army, he, a talisman cultivator, despite having an inexhaustible supply of talismans, still suffered numerous minor injuries.
He was also very anxious about his junior sister being taken away by the demons, which is why he said what he just said.
Upon hearing his second senior brother's reprimand, his anxious and angry mood instantly turned into one of grievance.
Squatting to the side, he drew circles on the tree branch, feeling his blood and qi surging within him. He then silently popped a spirit-replenishing pill into his mouth.
Waaaaah, I miss my junior sister so much.
Throughout the entire sect, only his junior sister wouldn't be mean to him.
