Shen Qing and Li Xian exchanged a glance. They both thought this method might work.
"But how can we get to the Demon Realm? The entrance to the Demon Realm must be heavily guarded. If we go there rashly, aren't we just walking into a trap?"
You Lang put his hands on his hips. He wanted to reach out and flick Shen Qing's forehead, but seeing the demonic qi around him, he retracted his hand.
"If I can say this, I must have a fool - proof plan. You just follow me."
Shen Qing thought for a while and then asked, "You Lang, where are your clansmen now? Do they want to go back to the Extreme Cold Glacier?"
The Extreme Cold Glacier was the place where the Nether White Wolf clan had lived for generations. If they had escaped, Shen Qing guessed that they would surely hope to return to the place where their ancestors had lived.
But You Lang shook his head. "Mother said they didn't plan to go back. The news of their escape must have reached the Main God's Temple. If the people from the Main God's Temple still want to capture them, they will surely go to the Extreme Cold Glacier."
"So Mother and the others led the clansmen to a safer place."
After hesitating for a while, Shen Qing still told You Lang about the Heavenly Pillar and the Stone Heart.
Hearing this, You Lang was shocked. "You mean there's another Heavenly Pillar in the Extreme Cold Glacier?"
Shen Qing nodded. "So in any case, we have to go to the Extreme Cold Glacier."
Knowing that the Nether White Wolf clan didn't want to go back, Shen Qing didn't force them. She then said, "Well, we'll go to the North Sea first and then to the Extreme Cold Glacier..."
"No!"
You Lang looked up, his eyes firm as he stared at Shen Qing. "If they know about this, they will surely be willing to go."
Shen Qing was surprised. "Why is that?"
You Lang sighed. He had witnessed with his own eyes what kind of environment his clansmen had lived in. They were trapped in cages, eating, drinking, and relieving themselves all in one place, like wild beasts without any dignity.
Next to the cages was the execution area. Once the demon soldiers guarding them were in a bad mood, they would take it out on the wolves.
Trapped there, in complete darkness, with no idea about the future, the light in the clansmen's eyes was completely gone, leaving only numbness and despair.
They were really afraid of such a life, so they decided not to go back to the Extreme Cold Glacier.
But now the Nine Desolate Continent was in chaos. All the cultivators were united against the Main God's Temple. The clansmen were just afraid, not cowardly.
They could brave the Extreme Cold Glacier!
Even to wash away the humiliation their clan had endured for ten thousand years.
Shen Qing sighed. Although it wasn't good, hatred and revenge were indeed important emotions that supported people's beliefs.
"I and the Flame Dragon will go with you. Don't worry, we'll protect the Nether White Wolf clan well."
The Azure Dragon's voice came. You Lang turned his head and immediately knew that these four people were the senior members of the Dragon clan that Shen Qing had mentioned.
Although all these things had been caused by the Dragon clan, You Lang didn't have any ill - will towards the White Dragon and the others.
After all, in every race, there were always good and bad people. One couldn't judge them all with a single stroke.
According to the etiquette, You Lang still bowed politely to the four White Dragons, and the four of them returned the salute. Thus, everyone got to know each other.
You Lang took out a special bone flute. After blowing it, although everyone didn't hear any sound, they could faintly sense a wave of energy.
"This is a means of communication developed by our clansmen. It won't be detected by the Demon Realm. Let's first walk north along the reefs. Some clansmen will come to meet us."
After making the decision, everyone didn't waste any more time and walked north along the reefs by the sea.
The demonic qi hadn't infected the creatures in the sea, so everyone was relatively safe by the sea.
After walking for two days, a clansman of You Lang named Po Kong came to meet them.
Po Kong was burly and very tall, but one of his eyes was injured, with a scar running across his left eye.
Like You Lang, there was also some demonic qi lingering around him. Fortunately, with this demonic qi, he could move freely among the demons.
As soon as they met, he thanked Shen Qing. "You must be Shen Qing. I've already heard about you from Senior You Lang. If it weren't for you, he would have perished in the secret realm when it collapsed. Fortunately, you saved him."
"Otherwise, Senior You Lang wouldn't have had the chance to save our clansmen. In this sense, Shen Qing, you're the savior of our clan."
Po Kong was extremely excited, and his eyes looking at Shen Qing were very intense.
Although Li Xian felt uncomfortable with that kind of look, he still held back.
Shen Qing waved her hand embarrassedly. The two of them complimented each other for a few words before being interrupted by You Lang helplessly.
You Lang explained the whole thing to Po Kong. Po Kong's face darkened. He clenched his fist and smashed a reef beside him, startling everyone.
"The hateful Main God's Temple! It's not enough that they've harmed our clan. Now they've also messed up the Nine Desolate Continent. Do they really think we're made of clay?!"
"Shen Qing, don't worry. Isn't it just about awakening the Heavenly Pillar? I, Po Kong, will surely help you complete this task!"
On this side, Shen Qing and the others were talking about the Heavenly Pillar. On the other side, the White Dragon was earnestly admonishing the Flame Dragon and the Azure Dragon.
The Flame Dragon and the Azure Dragon always disliked each other when they got together. They felt uncomfortable if they didn't argue with each other. The White Dragon was also very helpless.
Although he knew that these two wouldn't make wrong choices in matters of right and wrong, as their elder brother, the White Dragon still couldn't help but remind them more.
The Flame Dragon and the Azure Dragon rarely hung their heads and obediently listened to the White Dragon's admonishment. But actually, they were glaring at each other where the White Dragon couldn't see.
The Golden Dragon stood on one side, taking in all their reactions. He sighed and felt very helpless.
If it weren't for the fact that only the Flame Dragon had recovered his cultivation now and the Heavenly Pillar that the Azure Dragon was supposed to guard was in the Extreme Cold Glacier, they would never have put these two together.
Now, there was no other way.
After Shen Qing and Po Kong had finalized the plan, she turned her head and saw the White Dragon helplessly supporting his forehead, looking full of worry as he kept muttering for the Azure Dragon and the Flame Dragon to be more reliable, while the Golden Dragon was smiling and comforting the White Dragon.
This scene made Shen Qing feel a momentary daze.
She seemed to recall the way Pei Xuanjing and his fellow disciples got along when she was still on the Worry - Free Peak of the Qingyun Sword Sect.
At that time, Shen Qing was still young, Shen Chuyun hadn't grown up yet, and Nan Zhijin wasn't much older than them. He still looked like a young man.
As the eldest disciple, Pei Xuanjing always took on more responsibilities. He often earnestly taught the naughty ones below.
At that time, they got along well and had a very happy time.
It was a pity that later they drifted apart and couldn't turn back.
Although Shen Qing had seen the Flame Dragon and the Azure Dragon bickering with each other along the way, looking like they had a feud, she knew that no matter how they fought, in their hearts, they regarded each other as their closest family members.
This kind of affection was something that Pei Xuanjing and the others could never catch up with.
Shen Qing's eyes were complicated. She couldn't help but think.
If Lin Yibai hadn't intervened, would they be able to get along as happily as the White Dragon and the others now?
Would they also be able to regard each other as family members and trust each other unconditionally?
