Demon realm, deep in the forest.
Bai Jiuyou stood in front of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, his face as gloomy as water.
"In less than a month, the news has spread throughout the three realms. Some people with ill intentions have tried to sneak into the Monster Realm to cause chaos. I would like to ask for your help, Lord Sky Fox, to temporarily block the Monster Realm."
The Nine-Tailed Fox narrowed its beautiful eyes, "I heard that the demons are taking the opportunity to attack the human race. Don't you want to lead the demons to expand their territory? You know, the number of high-level cultivators missing in the human race is much higher than that of the demons and monsters. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Bai Jiuyou's eyes were firm. "To invade the human race at this time is to seek death. The more chaotic the situation is outside, the more we should preserve our strength. We will make a decision after the situation becomes clear."
"Aren't you doing this for your friends among the human race?"
Bai Jiuyou looked directly into the Nine-tailed Sky Fox's scrutinizing eyes and said without hiding anything, "It's for them and for the demon race. My demon race has always been the weakest among the three races. If we rashly invade the human race at this time, what if the whole thing is just a misunderstanding? The consequences will be disastrous, and it will just give the human race an excuse to destroy the demon race."
"Moreover, we cannot interfere in the war between humans and demons. No matter which side suffers a loss, it will be a good thing for the demons. Most importantly, I don't want to fuel the chaos and let the demons become the source of power for Wei."
"What about Ao Juan? You are not going to go look for her after sealing off the demon realm?"
Bai Jiuyou struggled for a while, but finally took a deep breath and said, "I believe Jiang Yuebai, she will definitely help me find Ao Juan. I am now the king of the entire dragon clan, not just Ao Juan. I am responsible for the entire dragon clan."
The nine-tailed fox chuckled and showed an admiring expression, "You are very suitable to be the leader of the demon race. I will do as you say. I will do my best to help you seal off the demon territory and observe the changes of the human and demon races."
"Thank you, Master Tianhu!"
Only a broken spirit was left of the Nine-tailed Sky Fox, allowing it to avoid this disaster. With the Nine-tailed Sky Fox in charge, those big demon kings who were ready to make moves dared not act rashly, and those people in the outside world who had ill intentions would restrain themselves.
The demon realm was gradually sealed off under the power of the nine-tailed fox and disappeared into the corner of the cultivation world.
At this moment, Bai Jiuyou could do nothing but keep comforting himself and praying that the night would pass quickly and Jiang Yuebai would be able to bring Ao Juan back safely.

The previous battlefield of Taiwei Star Alliance.
"Damn it, when will Shen Huaixi come back?"
Xie Jingshan smashed the table in anger. The entire front line and all the battlefields were in chaos. The demons were all crazy and started attacking recklessly. The defense line that the human race had built with great difficulty could collapse at any time.
Unfortunately, Shen Huaixi was not around, so he was overwhelmed and overwhelmed as he could not take care of both.
There was no news from Lu Nanzhi either. Xie Jingshan was very worried that Shen Mingjing took the opportunity to do something to Lu Nanzhi, otherwise Lu Nanzhi would definitely find a way to stop the demons from attacking at this time.
"Xie Jingshan!"
The door curtain of the central army tent was lifted, and a group of people filed in. They were Pei Shengyue, Ye Tianlang, Jiang Ling'er, Shi Yuming and their group.
Pei Shengyue walked straight to Xie Jingshan and asked, "What's the situation now? What can we do?"
Xie Jingshan was a little stunned, "Aren't you going to find your master?"
A trace of worry flashed across the eyes of several people, but in the end they all looked at Xie Jingshan firmly. Pei Shengyue smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't you fail to find your master? The Mahayana cultivator is missing, what can we, the gods, do?"
"Right now, guarding the borders of the cultivation world and preventing the demons from taking the opportunity to invade is what we should do. As for the rest... we believe that Jiang Yuebai and his combined Dao Lords will definitely find everyone."
Shi Yuming and others nodded, and there was movement from behind, Zuo Qiuhe and Feng Zhuxin came hand in hand.
"Sorry, I'm late." Feng Zhuxin apologized.
Zuo Qiuhe motioned for everyone to come out, "Look, everyone is here."
A few people walked out of the tent and saw large patches of light appearing in the sky. They were vast and mighty, like a prairie fire, illuminating the entire night.
"The disciples of the Jinlan Sect have been ordered to come and guard the border!"
"Disciples of the Five Mountains Immortal Sect are here upon orders!"
"The disciples of the Red Sun Sect are here to guard the border!"
"The Wu Clan disciples from the Five Emperors Realm are here..."
"The Luofu Sword Sect is coming..."
Each sound is sonorous and powerful, making one's blood boil!

Demonic Realm.
Shen Mingjing rushed into the Ice Palace angrily and questioned Lu Nanzhi.
"Lu Nanzhi, what do you mean!"
Lu Nanzhi sat at the table, lowering his head to wipe his sword. He never looked up at Shen Mingjing. There was a cold and murderous aura around him, which made Shen Mingjing shudder.
Shen Mingjing knew that he was no match for Lu Nanzhi, so he could only suppress his anger and asked, "The human race is in chaos right now, and there are no high-level cultivators in charge. If the demons miss this opportunity, they will definitely regret it!"
Lu Nanzhi said calmly, "You have read all the history books of the human race. Haven't you discovered that humans are the most difficult species to be eliminated in this world? The more desperate the situation, the more extraordinary power they can burst out."
Shen Mingjing sneered, "Your heart is indeed still with the human race."
Lu Nanzhi raised his head, his eyes cold, "So what?"
Shen Mingjing was speechless.
Lu Nanzhi raised his dark blue eyes, and the devil horns growing on his shoulders emitted a cold and piercing light.
"Originally, the Great Demon Lords of the Thunder Division and the Wind Division valued you, so the two demon tribes were willing to obey your orders. However, the demon tribes are strong-willed. Without the pressure of the two great demon lords, how can you make those stupid demon tribes continue to obey your orders?"
"Why do you think I have traveled to every fighting arena in the Demon Realm over the years, experienced life and death, and defeated various demon generals with my sword? Shen Mingjing, when you forced me to become a demon, you should have thought that this day would come."
Shen Mingjing clenched his fists. How could he have thought that the Mahayana Demon would suddenly disappear? It was so sudden that he was caught off guard and had no preparation at all.
But now, his backer is gone.
The Mahayana Heavenly Demon is missing, and Lu Nanzhi is a genuine demon, a disciple of the Ice Demon Saint, and the strongest among all the true demons in the eight tribes of the entire Demon Realm.
She even managed to kill a demon king in the Void Refinement Stage by relying on strategies and the sword formation passed down to her by the Ice Demon Saint to establish her prestige.
Her power among the demons had long surpassed his. The demons were more willing to listen to her, a strong one, rather than to a mirage like him who could only serve as a communication tool.
So now, the Mahayana Heavenly Demon is gone, and many high-level demons in the fusion and refining stages are also missing. The Ice Demons and Water Demons no longer obey his orders, and the Thunder Demons and Wind Demons were bewitched by Lu Nanzhi and began to withdraw their troops.
As for other tribes, they had suffered heavy losses after being purged of dissidents. They are currently still in the stage of nurturing young demons and are even more reluctant to go to the battlefield.
There is no way to fight this battle anymore!
"Stay quiet, our agreement still counts, but I'll do it my way."
Lu Nanzhi sheathed his sword, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
Of course Shen Mingjing would not just sit and wait, but Lu Nanzhi would not let him do whatever he wanted, it would just depend on who has the better move.

In the Observatory.
After Jiang Yuebai met with the other six Dao Lords who were still alive, they each performed their duties according to the results of the discussion.
Jiang Yuebai fought for the mission herself. With the help of the power of the nine star alliances, she searched the entire area for clues.
Others have to be on guard against demons and monsters, guard against the coming of unknown disasters, pacify various parts of the cultivation world, and so on.
Fortunately, the soul lamps of all the missing people were normal, which meant that no one died, including Ao Juan who disappeared in the demon clan.
Jiang Yuebai thought carefully about why Bai Jiuyou did not disappear. Perhaps it was because Bai Jiuyou was no longer a Chaos Holy Body. The laws mastered by Zhulong included chaos and time, but they were not complete. Also, because Zhulong was seriously injured and was "possessed" by Bai Jiuyou, he did not have much strength left, so he was not captured.
Or maybe, Lu Xingyun had already obtained these two parts of power from Zhulong in the past, so he no longer needed them.
In short, Jiang Yuebai was glad that Bai Jiuyou did not disappear, otherwise there would be no one from the demon clan who could come forward to suppress him.
As for the word "Wuwei" left by the Mahayana Immortal Lord, the Taoist Lords do not dare to say that Wuwei Mountain Man is the mastermind behind it. They can only say that before the disappearance of the three Mahayana Immortal Lords, Chongming, Fatian and Fuzhang, the last person they saw might be Wuwei Mountain Man.
Jiang Yuebai walked down the stairs of the Observatory, completely unaware of where to look.
There is chaos on the front line. Jiang Yuebai has suggested that the Star Alliance send people to the Earth Spirit Realm to bring Shen Huaixi back.
Passing by the floor where "The Legend of Xing Yun" was placed, Jiang Yuebai paused, walked over on a whim, and took the book off the bookshelf.
Although she had read it many times, she still wanted to take another look to see if there was any record of the secret cave left behind by Lu Xingyun in the world of cultivation, or the secret place she had visited that could hide people.
There are so many people who have not reached the immortal realm. It is impossible for her to bring them directly to the immortal world. They must still be somewhere in the world of cultivation.
The book was not very thick, and Jiang Yuebai flipped through it carefully again. She noted down a few suspicious places and prepared to investigate.
When Jiang Yuebai turned to the last page and was about to put the book back, he suddenly found some ink marks on the back of the last page.
Those were the ink marks left by the ink on the back. Jiang Yuebai turned over the last page and his eyes lit up.
It was the handwriting of Wuweishanren. She had read so many copies of "Wuwei Zaji". The earliest ones were all handwritten rubbings, and the later ones were recorded in jade slips. There was no mistake.
“If life could be like the first time we met…”
Jiang Yuebai recited this poem and suddenly tightened his fingers.
This must be the secret code left by Lu Xingyun, which only she can understand.
Lu Xingyun wanted her to go to the place where they first met to meet each other!
I know you are in a hurry, but don’t worry. It will take more than one chapter to finish meeting Lu Xingyun, so let’s wait until tomorrow!
See you tomorrow~
