Hell, run away, the little milk baby is coming to the underworld again.

"Of course we'll stay here and watch. If we can stop the ancient demon from being summoned, we'll stop it. If we really can't stop it, we'll try our best to delay it."

“Summoning an ancient demon is not so easy. If you can’t summon it the first time, it will be difficult to summon it again,” Demon One said.

“We’ve already clearly summoned most of them, but we just can’t summon them all. The Great Protector will definitely come up with a way to cover this up. It won’t be easy to stop the Demon Realm from breaking the barrier,” Demon Three said.

Xiao Yanbao knew this wouldn't be an easy task, but she still had to try her best to stop it.

King Yama felt that following Xiao Yanbao this time was somewhat useless, as they hadn't even managed to get the Ruyi Bag out.

"Yanbao, why don't we take advantage of the Demon Realm before it breaks the seal, join forces with the Three Realms to strike first and crush them in the Demon Realm?"

The King of Hell had his reasons for saying that. If the seal on the Demon Realm were to be broken, the battlefield would expand.

The Demon Realm will not allow the Three Realms to fight on their territory.

They will most likely shift the battlefield to the human world.

That would affect the entire Three Realms.

The larger the battlefield, the greater the losses for the Three Realms.

Xiao Yanbao still had some concerns.

She certainly wanted to put the battlefield in the Demon Realm, but if they attacked the Demon Realm before it made a move, wouldn't that give the Demon Realm an even better excuse to break the seal?

Upon hearing that the Three Realms had united to attack the Demon Realm, the Eight Great Demons realized they clearly intended to annihilate it.

That won't do.

Although they do not support the Grand Protector taking the position of Palace Master of Demon Cloud Palace, they do not want the Demon Realm to be destroyed.

Is it really okay to say such things in front of them?

The eight demons looked at Huo Lichuan.

Is the young master not going to say a word?

He didn't care whether the Demon Realm was destroyed or not; he didn't care as long as he could rescue his mother safely.

Therefore, Huo Lichuan chose to ignore the gazes of the Eight Great Demons.

Seeing that Huo Lichuan remained silent, Mo Yi had no choice but to speak up, "Yan Bao, we can fight this battle, but we can change the name."

Mo Yi knew his identity; he couldn't stop the war, but he could offer his suggestions.

"Change the name? How do you mean by changing it?"

"Everyone in the Demon Realm believes that the Palace Master is dead. Apart from the Great Protector, no other demon in the Demon Realm knows that the Palace Master is imprisoned in the ice coffin in the Demon Tomb. Therefore, if this war is fought in the name of the young Palace Master rescuing his mother, it is no longer a war between the Three Realms and the Demon Realm. The Three Realms are just external allies invited by the young Palace Master."

The name of the war has changed, and so has its nature.

This is the war within the Demon Realm.

Yan Wang and Xiao Yanbao exchanged a glance, then looked at Huo Lichuan.

Magic One's suggestion is not bad.

It all depends on what Huo Lichuan thinks.

Huo Lichuan's expression was indifferent. He had no feelings for the Demon Realm. No matter what the pretext for fighting was, his goal was always the same: to rescue his mother.

"I don't care, as long as you can rescue my mother, I'll cooperate with you."

Eight Great Demons: Young Palace Master, you can't be indifferent! If the Demon Realm is gone, they will have no home.

They've lost their home. Even if they follow the young master, they'll feel no sense of belonging anywhere, like stray dogs.

They can live without the Demon Realm, but they cannot live without it.

"Young Palace Master, the reason why the Palace Master was willing to be sealed in that ice coffin must be because she didn't want anything to happen to the Demon Realm. If the Demon Realm were gone, the Palace Master would be heartbroken. This is the Palace Master's home, and it is also the Young Palace Master's home. In the future, the entire Demon Realm will belong to the Young Palace Master."

In fact, Huo Lichuan never thought about returning to the Demon Realm to manage it.

He wanted to stay with Xiao Yanbao forever.

Or perhaps we could return to the Purple Cloud Peak.

Huo Lichuan felt that his mother, who had abandoned her position as the Demon Realm Palace Master to elope with his father, probably didn't have much affection for the Demon Realm.

However, it doesn't quite make sense that the mother voluntarily chose to be sealed in the ice coffin.

Does Mother still care about the Demon Realm?

If his mother cares about the Demon Realm, then he should do his best to help her protect it.

"I don't care who the Demon Realm ends up in, but if my mother cares about the Demon Realm, I'm willing to start this war as the young master of the Demon Cloud Palace."

"Yes, she cares. Of course the Palace Master cares about the Demon Realm. We are all her confidants, and we know very well her feelings for the Demon Realm. Even though she left the Demon Realm back then, she never said she wouldn't come back. It's just that her feelings were not accepted by the Demon Realm, and with the encouragement of the Great Protector, the Palace Master left the Demon Realm."

Huo Lichuan was unaware of the ins and outs of the matter, and he didn't want to believe everything he heard; he wanted to hear his mother tell him herself.

Xiao Yanbao looked outside; the ceremony had already begun again.

This time, the Grand Protector personally oversaw the operation.

However, even with several more priests this time, progress doesn't seem to be going smoothly.

Not only did the pillar of blood fail to rise, but the blue demonic fire dancing on the altar was also not as intense as it had been last time.

It seems they won't be able to summon the ancient demon anytime soon.

"King Yama, why don't we go back first and discuss with the Heavenly Dao about leading our troops to attack the Demon Realm?"

"I think this is a good idea."

“Yanbao, the Eight Great Demons and I will stay here and guard. If they summon the ancient demons, the Eight Great Demons and I can cause them some more trouble.”

The eight demons, recalling the terrifying scene just now, showed fear on their faces.

If Xiao Yanbao is here, can they still save them? If Xiao Yanbao isn't here, how can they escape the Great Protector's grasp?

There's absolutely no way to escape.

"No, Brother Huo, you can't stay here and risk your life. Even if they really summon the ancient demon, it's alright. Breaking the seal isn't that easy. As long as the seal isn't broken, everything will be fine."

King Yama: Yan Bao, you make it sound so easy.

This is not as easy as it seems.

However, Yama, the King of Hell, cannot contradict Little Yama.

"It won't work for them to stay here at the Demon Cloud Palace, but they can stay in the Demon Realm. We should make some moves first."

"Building momentum?"

King Yama nodded. "Yes, we should spread the word that the Palace Master of Demon Cloud Palace is still alive, and that she's been imprisoned by the Great Protector. We should make sure everyone in the Demon Realm knows about the Great Protector's ambitions. The Great Protector has been usurping power all these years. This time, breaking the seal wasn't for the Demon Realm's sake; it was all for the Great Protector's own selfish motives. She wants to make everyone believe she's capable of sitting in the position of Palace Master of Demon Cloud Palace, even without the official seal. The Great Protector is harming the Demon Realm, paving the way for her future with the lives of all the demons."

The eight demons' eyes lit up as soon as they heard Yama's words.

"This is a good idea, this is a good idea."

Although some demons in the demon realm are warlike and ambitious, the majority of demons do not want to fight.

As long as they are not inside the Demon Cloud Palace, they can still protect themselves in the Demon Realm.

"Yanbao, could you give us a few of your talismans so we can have some protection just in case?"
