The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Meng Sui's shout drew everyone's attention.

Yun Yici dared not relax for a moment, and had Qian Sui set up an illusion to hide the five people, then held the message talisman that Yuan Chang had given her in her hand.

When Qingwei explained the characteristics of the demon race to them before, she mentioned an important point: low-level demons cannot fly, only high-level demons can fly.

But as the white light drew closer, Yun Yici realized it was a bone bird!

It has no feathers or flesh, only hollow bones.

A small, round core can be seen through its hollowed-out bones, radiating a dazzling white light.

The bone bird seemed to be conscious, circling above the heads of the hidden group.

Yun Yici raised her head, and the bone bird opened its beak, emitting a human voice from its throat:

"Your Majesty, we are Your Majesty's servants, sent here by imperial decree because Your Majesty was concerned for your safety."

"What important business brings you to the Demon Realm?"

Everyone was taken aback. Of the five of them, only Yun Yici was a woman, so they knew without a doubt who the bone bird was referring to.

Yun Yici was also surprised. She hadn't expected that the imperial edict hadn't come after them, but instead sent subordinates.

Actually, her actions did delay the imperial edict for a month.

The emperor was extremely anxious when he discovered that she was moving towards the demon realm, and he felt even more strongly that Shen Xiu was a menace.

Shen Xiu took Yun Yi away from the Demon Realm and deliberately sent him away.

If Shen Xiu could protect Yun Yici, that would be fine, but the problem is that Shen Xiu is just a mortal! All he does is talk big!

They kept talking about training her, but in the end, they were sending Yun Yici to a den of demons!

Yes, he wanted to take Yun Yici back to the Demon Realm, but only if he was confident he could guarantee her safety.

Even a Nascent Soul cultivator like Li Shao would be subject to humiliation and abuse in the Demon Realm.

The thought that Yun Yici might be kidnapped by some foolish demon made Emperor Zhao's heart burn with rage. He wished he could turn back into his original form and fly to Juexian City in a day.

As he rushed towards the Demon Realm, he sent messages to his subordinates, instructing them to go to the border between the human and demon realms and rescue Yun Yici and Shen Xiu at all costs.

Those servants did indeed obey orders and lingered near the boundary marker, but they dared not approach any further.

Most of them signed master-servant contracts with the emperor.

Moreover, having lived in the Demon Realm for so long, they are bound to be shrouded in demonic energy. If they were to run into these recruited rogue cultivators or the guards of Juexian City, it would only lead to an unnecessary bloodbath.

So after much deliberation, they sent over the bone birds kept in the imperial palace specifically for delivering messages.

Even the usually carefree Meng Sui was trembling slightly: "Is this an imperial edict from Your Majesty?"

"Is this the Venerable One I'm thinking of?"

The way he looked at Yun Yici was a little strange.

Your Majesty, in the Demon Realm, at least the Demon Lord deserves this title.

Anyone who can be on good terms with the Demon Lord is no saint.

The main point is that the bone bird was referring to "us"!!!

At this moment, Meng Sui viewed Yun Yici almost as if he were a spy.

Yun Yici was also impressed by his ability to make up stories. She said speechlessly, "It's not the Venerable One you're thinking of."

"The imperial edict and His Majesty are two different people."

Meng Sui: "Oh, oh... ah?"

Pei Heng couldn't stand his silly antics.

However, Pei Heng was more rational: "We saw Fellow Daoist Yun enter the Immortal City with our own eyes before, so I believe the test of the Evil Stone will not be wrong."

"Moreover, after these past few days of interaction, Fellow Daoist Yun, Fellow Daoist Shen, and Fellow Daoist Wan have all shown genuine sincerity. If we suspect them like this, what if it's a scheme by demonic cultivators to sow discord?"

Upon hearing Pei Heng's words, Meng Sui immediately lowered his head in shame and apologized to Yun Yici.

Yun Yici dispelled Qian Sui's illusion and then said to the bone bird, "Thank you, but I am here to train. If I rely on your help too much, I will lose my original intention."

"If you're so inclined, could you please keep an eye on the movements at the border between humans and demons?"

Yun Yici originally intended to take precautions, since given Pei Heng's life trajectory, things were bound to get turbulent near Juexian City this time.

But after she finished speaking, the bone bird said, "Your Majesty, we do have news that we hope you can send back to Juexian City."

"Also, if you have nothing urgent to attend to, please leave Juexian City for the time being."

Yun Yici asked seriously, "What news is this?"

The bone bird said, "Some time ago, the city lord of Juexian City fought a great battle with the two demon lords, Fu Chen and Fu Ying. Although he was seriously injured, he captured the two demon lords and won a great victory."

"In fact, Fu Chen and Fu Ying were feigning surrender."

"They have long coveted Juexian City and, together with other demon lords, planned to take advantage of the city lord's serious injury to move the boundary marker to the back of Juexian City."

Some time ago, it was also when the imperial edict was not in effect.

The daily routine of the Emperor's edict: oppressing other demon races, robbing their human cultivators and treasures, and taking a bath.

Furthermore, due to a disagreement with the emperor's decree, he directly set fire to the place.

Originally, these powerful demons were all plotting in secret, but unexpectedly, the imperial edict remained silent for a long time.

They assumed the emperor would not intervene in the matter, and thus became even bolder in their actions.

At this moment, the demons are pressing in, and their army will be at the city gates in just one or two days.

The bone bird's message sent a chill down everyone's spine. Meng Sui gripped the talisman pen in his hand and asked again and again, "Are you telling the truth?"

The bone bird didn't answer when it heard the unfamiliar male voice. Only when Yun Yici said that this was a companion traveling with her did the bone bird's helpless voice sound again.

"We are also human cultivators, but we were forced to wander into the Demon Realm... We were only able to survive in this world thanks to the protection of the Emperor."

“Fellow Daoist, what we have said is the truth.”

Upon learning this news, they wanted to send a message to Juexian City. Fortunately, they encountered Yun Yici and obtained imperial permission, which gave them the opportunity to send the message openly and legitimately.

Furthermore, their identities might not necessarily earn them the trust of the city lord of Juexian City.

Yun Yici took a deep breath and decisively said, "Go back and inform Qingwei and Yuanchang."

The bone bird then said, "Take this bone bird with you, and we can keep you informed of news from the Demon Realm at any time."

"Also, please don't reveal that the information was leaked from us."

"In recent years, His Majesty's situation has also been very difficult."

If it weren't for the Phoenix Fire, given his ability to cause trouble wherever he went, he would have been devoured long ago by those demons who hated him to the core.

As someone who was protected by the Emperor's decree and had signed a master-servant contract with the Emperor, he naturally did not want to betray his master and incur the Emperor's hatred.

After Yun Yici agreed, he accepted the bone bird and returned with the others by the same route.

Along the way, whenever they encountered a wandering demon, they would kill it by blowing its head off with a wind blade.

Meng Sui and Pei Heng knew that she still owed ten demons, so they naturally wouldn't compete with her for them, and even helped her find the demons.

With the help of Meng Sui and Pei Heng, Yun Yici effortlessly killed ten demons, and the -10 on the recruitment order became 0.

Because the information they received was of great importance, the five of them landed as they flew back to the camp. Meng Sui clutched his lower back in pain and was helped forward by Pei Heng.
