"Alright, I believe you know what you're doing. But the demons in the Demon Realm are extremely cunning. We still need to be on our guard," Chu Lanqiu said.
Even though she had felt a moment of softness and pity for Huan Qianyu just now, Chu Lanqiu still felt wary of her because of her identity.
There had always been an irreconcilable conflict between demon cultivators and cultivators.
Demon cultivators regarded cultivators as rare tonics for their cultivation. They often abducted or kidnapped innocent people, sucked their essence and blood, and ate their flesh and blood.
Moreover, the demonic qi absorbed by demon cultivators during their cultivation would also affect the spiritual qi of others. Once contaminated by demonic qi, spiritual beasts would turn into demonic beasts, and cultivators would be burned by the demonic qi. In the worst - case scenario, they would directly fall into the path of demon cultivation.
One in the light and the other in the dark, they were destined to fight each other to the death.
"Of course, we need to be vigilant. The reason why Huan Zhong became a great general in the Demon Realm is that he is brave in battle and his strategies are extremely strange and hard to fathom," Huan Qianyu replied.
Hearing this, Chu Lanqiu frowned and said, "If that's the case, this man must not be left alive."
She suddenly felt a bit regretful. She shouldn't have saved Huan Zhong just now. She had left a great threat to the Nine Wastelands Continent.
"All choices are the best arrangements. You saved Huan Zhong's life. Maybe he will repay you in the future," Shen Qing said.
Chu Lanqiu disagreed with Shen Qing's statement. That was a demon cultivator! It was already a mercy not to kill him, and to expect him to repay them? That was just too terrifying.
After tidying herself up, Huan Qianyu told Shen Qing everything that had happened in the Demon Realm.
Shen Qing also asked about the matter of the Nether White Wolves. She learned that the Nether White Wolf clan was indeed imprisoned in the Demon Realm, but Huan Qianyu didn't know where they were locked up. She only knew that they were closely guarded.
As for why they let Yuanyuan go, it was because Ji Chongming received a letter from the main divine temple, asking them to take the Nether White Wolves to a place on the dragon vein to see if they would have any reaction to that place.
At that time, Huan Zhong had already seen that Lin Yibai was not a good person. Seeing Lin Yibai brutally kill two Nether White Wolves, he felt soft - hearted towards this newly - born little wolf cub. He secretly asked Su Zhi, who was by Huan Qianyu's side, to let Yuanyuan go.
Although Huan Qianyu didn't understand her father's actions when she learned about them, she still didn't stop him. She also told Su Zhi to give the little wolf two pieces of dried meat.
Lin Yibai had everything she wanted in the Zichen Palace. Because of Ji Chongming's favor, the wife of the Demon Lord, Huan Qianyu, was ignored.
So everything went smoothly. The disappearance of this little wolf didn't attract anyone's attention. Others just thought that someone had fed the little wolf to a demonic beast.
"Why did the people in the Demon Realm lock up the Nether White Wolf clan?" Shen Qing asked.
Huan Qianyu lowered her head and thought for a while. Recalling her father's words, she answered truthfully, "It's because the Nether White Wolf clan obtained a part of the Dragon clan's inheritance. This part of the inheritance is extremely important to the demons and the people in the main divine temple. But it's very difficult to get information from the Nether White Wolf clan. Over the years, the people in the main divine temple still haven't learned what the Dragon clan's inheritance is."
Shen Qing nodded. This was consistent with what the Nether Wolf had said. It seemed that the information Huan Qianyu told her should be true.
"Li Xian, it seems that Yu Xuzi gave you some spiritual pills that are very effective for wounds. Take them out and apply them to his father first," Shen Qing said.
"Yu Xuzi? You know Yu Xuzi. Can you take me to find him?!" Huan Qianyu exclaimed.
Before Huan Zhong fainted, he had been chanting Yu Xuzi's name, asking her to find Yu Xuzi at all costs and tell him what he had seen in the abyss.
But the Nine Wastelands Continent was too vast. She didn't know how to find him. When the people in front of her mentioned Yu Xuzi's name, Huan Qianyu immediately felt extremely lucky.
"Why do you want to find Yu Xuzi?" Li Xian asked unhappily when he saw that this demon was so concerned about his master.
What were these people planning to do to his master?
"My father has some secrets that he must tell Yu Xuzi!" Huan Qianyu replied.
The corners of Shen Qing and Chu Lanqiu's mouths twitched. They thought this girl was really careless. She just openly said the words "has some secrets".
If someone with ulterior motives heard it, who knew how they would torture her for information.
"This is Li Xian, the eldest disciple of Yu Xuzi, and this is Li Xian's fiancée, Shen Qing," Chu Lanqiu introduced.
"What? You're Yu Xuzi's eldest disciple, and you're actually Shen Qing?" Huan Qianyu pointed at Shen Qing in surprise, her eyes wide open.
"Do you know how much Lin Yibai hates you? She carved a tree into your likeness and often ordered people to whip it. I've heard Lin Yibai cursing you more than once!"
Shen Qing felt a bit helpless.
It seemed that everyone was an acquaintance after all.
"My story with her is a long one, but you just need to remember that, like you, I have an irreconcilable hatred with Lin Yibai," Shen Qing said.
Hearing this, Huan Qianyu suddenly felt closer to Shen Qing.
There was a kind of satisfaction that came from the fact that the person she had hated for so long was finally understood by someone else.
To avoid wasting time, as they were heading back, Shen Qing and the others exchanged information with each other.
Although Li Xian and Chu Lanqiu were worried about Huan Qianyu and her father, seeing Shen Qing and Huan Qianyu chatting so happily, they could only be secretly vigilant.
Of course, besides the important things at the beginning, the rest of their conversation was about cursing Lin Yibai and Ji Chongming.
After this round of chatting, they all got familiar with each other.
Shen Qing hesitated for a moment and asked Huan Qianyu if she knew how to purify the demonic eggs.
Huan Qianyu nodded and explained, "Although the spiritual beasts eroded by demonic qi have changed their appearance and habits, we can regard them as being possessed by a demonic heart. As long as we remove this demonic heart, the spiritual beasts will return to normal."
"How can we do that? We've been here for a long time, but we still haven't made any progress," Chu Lanqiu asked.
Hearing that Huan Qianyu knew how to restore the demonic eggs to normal, Chu Lanqiu didn't care about anything else and immediately started discussing with Huan Qianyu.
As expected of someone from the Demon Realm, Huan Qianyu explained clearly how the demonic qi circulated.
Seeing that she couldn't get a word in, Shen Qing obediently stepped aside and stared at them with Li Xian.
"What? Are you still not at ease?" Li Xian's eyes darkened. He turned to look at Shen Qing, his face serious and cold without a trace of a smile.
"Why are you so at ease? When you heard their identities, there was not a trace of surprise on your face, nor did you show any vigilance towards them. Instead, you seemed a bit more at ease after learning their identities."
"Shen Qing, it's your turn to tell me why you're so at ease?"
Shen Qing didn't expect Li Xian to observe her so carefully just now. She also regretted that she had been too relaxed in front of familiar people and had revealed all her emotions.
"I..."
Li Xian slowly approached Shen Qing, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
"Shen Qing, what secrets do you have that I don't know?"
"Can you tell me?"
