Upon hearing Li Sisui's solemn promise, all the demons, including Meiji, breathed a sigh of relief. Their lives, which had been as stagnant as a pool of still water, seemed to have been given a new lease on life. In any case, they finally had the possibility of leaving this place!
Meiji was also filled with excitement. Thinking back to the past generations of demon ancestors, those powerful figures who could turn their hands upside down and make clouds and rain fall, she had accomplished something today. That instant joy filled her entire chest!
"With your words, senior, the entire demon race will follow your lead. As for the entrance to Demon Mountain, now is not a good time. If I'm not mistaken, it will be more than sixty years before the next entrance to Demon Mountain opens!"
"What! Sixty years?"
Even the usually aloof and composed Leng Rushuang subconsciously spoke up, wondering how she could possibly stay in Shura Ridge for sixty years. By then, let alone reaching Demon Mountain, even leaving Shura Ridge would be a problem...
"This is taking far too long. With her talent, she could cultivate on her own in that time. Why would she need to search for an entrance?"
Upon hearing Meiji's mention of the timeframe, Li Sisui instinctively retorted, "With Leng Rushuang's talent, she might not even need sixty years to ascend the legendary Demon Mountain!"
But this was immediately met with a cold laugh from Meiji:
"Do you really think that Demon Mountain is something you can climb so easily? Even if she has extraordinary talent, she would still have to step over the corpses of countless demonic cultivators to have any chance of climbing Demon Mountain. If Demon Mountain were really that easy to climb, there wouldn't be so many demonic cultivators left in Asura Ridge..."
After speaking, Meiji let out a cold laugh, glancing disdainfully at Leng Rushuang. Her expression towards Li Sisui then held a hint of mockery; clearly, in Meiji's eyes, their ideas were far too naive…
Just as Li Sisui was about to retort, a spatial fluctuation suddenly appeared in front of Meiji. Before anyone could react, a pale green jade slip appeared in front of Meiji!
Upon seeing the jade slip, the disdain on the latter's face immediately vanished, replaced by a solemn expression. He reached out and crushed the jade slip, after which a deep male voice resounded in mid-air:
"The situation at Shura Ridge has suddenly changed, and Broken Halberd City is about to change its location. Please make preparations as soon as possible, City Lord!"
It turned out to be the communication jade slip from the coal feeder of the city lord of Zheji City. How could the situation in Shura Ridge have changed so drastically in such a short time?
Moreover, Zheji City is going to change its address. What kind of big thing would happen to involve Zheji City? Could it be that all the cultivators have rebelled?
Meiji's expression was solemn as she stared at the shattered jade slips scattered on the ground, remaining silent. At this moment, everyone held their breath, afraid to make a sound lest they disturb Meiji...
Although Li Sisui was also completely bewildered, he could tell from Meiji's expression that this was no ordinary situation. The fact that it could alarm the city of Zheji and cause it to change its location must not be a good thing!
"You've all heard the warning jade slip from the Lord of Broken Halberd City. I'm sure you all know what to do. Enough with the small talk, hurry back and prepare. You might really be homeless this time, alas..."
The demons nodded silently. Compared to the mystery of Li Sisui's identity, their own lives were obviously more important. The demons who had been gathered together immediately scattered and spread the news, creating a scene reminiscent of the end of the world!
In no time, the demons who had been gathered together had almost all fled and disappeared into the bone building. Among them, there were some bold ones who cautiously peeked out of the windows and looked in this direction!
"What exactly happened outside? Why is Broken Halberd City changing its location?"
Looking at the demons scattering and fleeing, Li Sisui realized the seriousness of the problem. His expression was filled with doubt and uncertainty, and he subconsciously asked.
"The specifics are still unclear, but to trouble the City Lord of Zheji City is certainly no ordinary matter. You all should leave here as soon as possible. The relocation of Zheji City is a major event, and since you are involved, you should make plans early!"
Meiji's explanation only made things worse for Li Sisui. How could the relocation of Zheji City be related to them? They were just there to gather intelligence, and this was getting more and more absurd...
"Lord of the city, please speak plainly. Such ambiguity makes it difficult for me to make a judgment!"
Seeing that Li Sisui had taken the initiative to ask the question, Meiji naturally dared not be negligent in the slightest. Her lips moved, and she hesitated before replying:
"Senior, don't worry. If there's no time to get out, staying here to avoid trouble isn't a bad idea. However, the relocation of Broken Halberd City is not something that can be done overnight. No one can say for sure how long it will take..."
"But once Broken Halberd City moves, it will be virtually impossible for you to leave the Demon Breath Pavilion. At that point, the space will be in turmoil, the spiritual energy will be chaotic, and the Demon Breath Pavilion will become a sealed space, inaccessible!"
As expected, living under someone else's roof and relying on their whims is not a long-term solution. Even if the noble demon race is exceptionally gifted, it has no choice but to lower its head in the face of reality. The safety of its own race is completely in the hands of others. If he tells you to sleep at dawn, you dare not sleep at midnight!
After hearing this, Li Sisui finally understood Meiji's predicament. Protecting the demon race was indeed no easy task. Although he didn't know what kind of deal Meiji had with the Lord of Broken Halberd City, if there had been a second choice, the demon race would definitely not have fallen to this state...
Thinking of this, Li Sisui made a decision instantly, and said loudly to Leng Rushuang and Diao Bao:
"Let's go! Let's get out of here first! If what the city lord said is true, and we're really trapped here for too long, that would be troublesome. We'd be blocked at the gate by Lingyun, and we wouldn't be able to get out of Demon Mountain, let alone leave here!"
