The Demon Realm was now mostly empty, with only some small demonic beasts and old, weak, sick, and disabled demon soldiers remaining.
After the departure of many demons, the demonic qi in the Demon Realm was no longer as dense.
On the way, everyone was much more silent than before. The Black Wolf couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer, so he tried to liven things up, but with little success.
Especially the White Dragon and the Golden Dragon. After tens of thousands of years, they returned to their homeland only to face such a situation. How could they be happy?
The Black Wolf originally wanted to ignore the White Dragon and the Golden Dragon. But seeing them following the group, their heads drooping like walking corpses, they were so noticeable that he couldn't ignore them.
To cheer them up, the Black Wolf thought for a while and then told them the tragic fate of his clan. He thought that by comparison, they might feel better.
However, when they learned that the tragedy of the Nether White Wolf Clan was all due to Han Ze, their moods became even more gloomy.
The Black Wolf felt that if he continued talking, the White Dragon and the Golden Dragon might die of shame.
So, the talkative Black Wolf also fell silent for once.
The group maintained an eerie silence and hurried on their way.
Since there were no demonic beasts of the Winged Clan, Shen Qing took out a small flying boat and let everyone board it to rest.
There was no spiritual energy here, so Shen Qing generously threw twenty top - grade spiritual stones into it, which finally made the flying boat start.
Shen Qing sat next to Li Xian. Looking up, she saw the three people opposite slumped listlessly in their seats.
The White Dragon and the Golden Dragon were feeling guilty, while the Black Wolf was just fed up with the eerie and sad atmosphere.
But at this moment, Shen Qing was also in a low mood because she thought of Bai Li.
Seeing this, Li Xian took Shen Qing's hand. Shen Qing felt her originally cold hand being wrapped in warmth, and for a moment, her heart felt much more at ease.
Shen Qing turned her head and met Li Xian's gaze.
Thousands of words were hidden in their eyes.
Their foreheads touched, and their two passionate hearts were infinitely close in this instant.
The White Dragon saw this scene. For some reason, his mood improved a lot, and a look of kindness appeared in his eyes.
Not all the younger generations of their Dragon Clan were as cruel as Han Ze. Shen Qing and Han Ze were siblings from the same mother, but their personalities were worlds apart.
The Golden Dragon only needed one glance to know what the White Dragon was thinking. He nudged the White Dragon with his elbow and winked playfully.
The two looked at each other and smiled. It seemed that the future of the Dragon Clan was not as bleak as they had thought.
The Black Wolf was like a big dog that had been abandoned. He looked at Shen Qing and Li Xian resentfully, but at this moment, the two only had eyes for each other and didn't notice the Black Wolf at all.
The Black Wolf had no choice but to turn back and stare resentfully at the White Dragon and the Golden Dragon, but they were also immersed in their brotherly affection and didn't notice the Black Wolf's gaze.
The Black Wolf's heart was deeply hurt, and he felt betrayed.
"Humph!"
"The Purple Emperor Palace is ahead. We need to get off the flying boat and walk there on foot. There are still guards in the Purple Emperor Palace, and we can't attract attention."
The Black Wolf endured for a long time but still couldn't help interrupting them.
Hearing this, Shen Qing leaned forward and looked. She found that there was indeed a huge palace ahead, just as the Black Wolf had said.
There was also black qi around the Purple Emperor Palace. Clumps of black mist were flying around the palace as if on patrol.
Shen Qing controlled the flying boat to land in the dense forest outside the Purple Emperor Palace. After everyone got off the flying boat, they planned to walk around the palace.
The Purple Emperor Palace was still heavily guarded. The guards were wearing purple armor and holding huge weapons.
But Shen Qing noticed something was wrong. "Normally, since Ji Chongming is not here and the demon soldiers have been summoned by the Main Shrine and left the Demon Realm, why are there still so many soldiers here? And who ordered them to guard here?"
Shen Qing raised her question, and Li Xian continued, "Unless there is someone or something important in the Purple Emperor Palace..."
The two looked back at the Black Wolf at the same time.
The Black Wolf took a step back under their gazes and shook his head repeatedly. "I really don't know. Before the incident, I had been taken by the Delusion to the place where my clan was imprisoned, and I don't know what happened here."
Shen Qing lowered her head and thought for a while. She had a hunch that there must be something very important inside. She wanted to investigate!
So she looked at the White Dragon and asked, "Senior... I think..."
"Okay, let's go together." Before Shen Qing could finish, the White Dragon gave his answer.
Shen Qing looked at the White Dragon in surprise. The White Dragon said with a smile, "Not only you, but I also have a hunch that there must be something very important inside."
"In that case, let's break into the most supreme place in the Demon Realm, the Purple Emperor Palace!"
Shen Qing was eager to try and observed the weakest part of the guards of the Purple Emperor Palace.
Unexpectedly, before they could act, they watched as a woman in moon - white clothes descended from the sky. She was holding a huge broadsword and wielding it powerfully. In a few strokes, she killed half of the guards at the gate.
As she fought, she shouted, "You evil demon cultivators! Give me back my man!!"
This dramatic scene stunned everyone.
The guards at the side gate were attracted and rushed towards the woman. Li Xian quickly said, "The guards at the side gate have been distracted. Let's go in through the side gate. Hurry!"
Shen Qing frowned. She felt that the woman's back was very familiar.
She took two steps forward following Li Xian, but her eyes never left the woman's back. Finally, when they reached the side, she saw the woman's profile clearly.
Shen Qing was shocked and quickly shouted, "Hurry! Hurry! Go and help! That's Elder Yaoyue!"
With that, she took her sword Wuwang and rushed over first. She killed all the demon soldiers around the side and instantly came to Elder Yaoyue's side.
Elder Yaoyue was startled by Shen Qing's sudden appearance and her accent came out. "Oh my! You scared me..."
Shen Qing was extremely delighted. Her hunch was right. Elder Yaoyue was really okay.
"Elder Yaoyue, what are you doing here? Breaking into the Purple Emperor Palace. Are you crazy?"
Seeing reinforcements coming, Elder Yaoyue quickly said, "I don't have time to explain to you. Hurry up and help me kill these demon soldiers. Your master is inside!"
At this time, someone on the opposite side shouted, "Hurry! This crazy woman is here again. She wants to kidnap the Demon Lord again!!"
Shen Qing was completely confused and had a headache.
Seeing that Shen Qing had stopped moving, Elder Yaoyue quickly grabbed her hand and rushed towards the gate. "There's no time to explain. Hurry and follow me in. Otherwise, Ling Zhou will die!"
Shen Qing knew that this was not the time for Elder Yaoyue to explain, so she picked up Wuwang and quickly knocked down the demon soldiers approaching her.
At this time, Li Xian and the others also came to Shen Qing's side. Although these demon soldiers were holding huge weapons, their cultivation was not as good as Li Xian, Shen Qing and the others.
So everyone easily broke through a gap in the encirclement.
Elder Yaoyue pulled Shen Qing and rushed into the Purple Emperor Palace in a hurry.
