After being reincarnated, I cultivated immortality.

Xingye's hesitation further displeased Gan Ruier, who looked at him with cold eyes and released a trace of pressure.

The demon soldiers behind Xingye immediately collapsed to the ground, unable to get up. Xingye himself was in no better shape; the veins on the back of his hands and neck were bulging, clearly indicating that he had used all his strength to resist and avoid falling to his knees in a disheveled state.

He preserved his dignity as the Demon King.

Xingye struggled to speak: "In the bamboo forest."

As soon as Xingye finished speaking, the oppressive aura emanating from him vanished, and the woman in front of him disappeared as well, her whereabouts obvious.

Xingye secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked in the direction of the bamboo forest, his expression unreadable.

Qingyu and Sheye helped each other to Xingye's side. Sheye said anxiously, "Xingye, if you tell her the location of the Demon Emperor, won't the Demon Emperor be in danger!"

Xingye looked at Sheye with obvious disdain in her eyes, said nothing, and turned to leave.

“Hey…” She Ye was getting anxious and was about to call out to him.

Qingyu, standing beside him, stopped him: "Stop! Are you stupid? Have you forgotten what's in the bamboo forest? No matter how powerful she is, she still can't get in."

After Qingyu finished speaking, she glared at him, turned around and limped away, saying, "What are you looking at? Hurry up and help me back to the manor, ouch~ it hurts so much."

The demon soldiers beside them immediately stepped forward.

Upon hearing Qingyu's words, She Ye clearly remembered that the Nan Bamboo Forest was the place where successive Demon Emperors secluded themselves for cultivation. It contained a powerful formation left by the first Demon Emperor, and unless two or more Tribulation Transcending stage experts attacked at the same time, it would be impossible to break in.

Having figured it out, he chuckled and had someone help him back.

Their plan was good, but things always take an unexpected turn.

Gan Ruier, whom they thought would be stopped outside, was walking deep into the bamboo forest as if she were in her own backyard, without any resistance.

At this moment, in the deepest cave in the bamboo forest, a handsome young man sat cross-legged on a piece of ancient ice, his eyes closed, diligently cultivating.

Suddenly, as if sensing something, he opened his eyes, his silver pupils looking in one direction, his sword-like brows furrowing slightly, and in the next instant, he vanished.

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Gan Ruier.

The young man's brows were frosty, his cold gaze warily fixed on Gan Ruier before him. He parted his thin lips slightly and asked, "Who are you? How did you get into the bamboo forest?"

Gan Ruier raised an eyebrow. A demon emperor at the peak of the Integration Stage? Although he was only a step away from the Mahayana Stage, he was far inferior to her master.

“This is my home, so of course I can come in whenever I want,” Gan Ruier said calmly, stating the facts.

However, she was telling the truth, but the person opposite her did not believe her. The young man sneered, a murderous glint in his eyes: "When did my demon race's sacred land become your home? You are utterly absurd!"

He reached out, and a heavy sword, entirely black, appeared in his hand. Upon closer inspection, the blade was adorned with ancient, dark red patterns.

The young man wielding the sword exuded a terrifying aura and unleashed his demonic power to attack Gan Ruier.

Gan Ruier easily dodged the attack, her eyes narrowing as her expression turned fierce: "The Demon-Slaying Sword! How did it end up in your hands?"

A hint of doubt flashed in the young man's eyes. She actually recognized this sword. But then he thought about it. Although not many people recognized this sword, it wasn't impossible. He didn't dwell on it and continued his attack.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude."
