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

Xiao Xun never found out the reason why the demon army suddenly switched sides.

What is unknown means that it cannot be replicated.

Fortunately, reinforcements from a nearby city arrived in just one day.

The cultivators from other cities, who had expected a tough battle to be fought in Juexian City, were surprised to find that Juexian City had been completely unharmed by the attack of the myriad demons.

Everyone was shocked, and then learned from the people and cultivators of Juexian City that Yun Yici deserved the greatest credit for this battle.

With his Golden Core form, he single-handedly fought the Demon Lord!

There should be no Golden Core cultivator in this world more powerful than her.

Unbeknownst to many, the name of Yun Yici, the Sword Master of Huaichuan, spread far and wide...

At this moment, Yun Yici and her companions had already embarked on their journey to the Demon Realm.

Xiao Xun strongly opposed their going to the Demon Realm, after all, the Demon Army had only recently withdrawn.

If the demon army happens to launch a counterattack, how can four people possibly fight against thousands of demon soldiers?

Furthermore, their greatest reliance in going to the Demon Realm was the imperial edict.

If the emperor were to turn against them, he would be too far away in Juexian City to intervene.

However, Shen Huaichuan was resolute, and Yun Yici trusted him completely.

The imperial edict was something they desperately wanted.

As for Wan Nian, although he was a little scared, he didn't say anything.

As soon as she crossed the boundary marker, Yun Yici's heart tightened.

When they left Juexian City, the corpses of demons outside the city had not yet been completely cleared away.

Now, after crossing the boundary marker, the corpses of demons spread across the ground, almost directly pointing to the direction in which Tao Jiang and his group fled in panic with the demon army.

Some of the demons were not completely dead and were still wriggling. Wan Nian was afraid of stepping on them, so he tiptoed behind Yun Yici and the other two.

These remains of demons also carried demonic energy, and Yun Yici worried that Shen Huaichuan's body wouldn't be able to withstand walking in such a demonic place for too long.

She rummaged through her storage bag and took out the Hundred-Refined Lamp that Wen Fuyue had given her, handing it to Shen Huaichuan: "Senior Shen, shall I carry you?"

The emperor gave a soft hum, but his hands were honest.

He pulled out three flameless bone lamps from somewhere and handed them to Yun Yici and the other two: "Use these."

Yun Yici did not understand the meaning, but still took the bone lamp from the emperor's hand.

As soon as the bone lamp was in hand, the central candle wick lit up, instantly dispelling the demonic energy surrounding the four of them.

Even the demon corpses beneath their feet melted and sank into the ground from the heat of the fire.

The Emperor decreed, "The demon bird is already on its way to fetch us."

They had only recently crossed the boundary marker, and even the nearest demon bird was still some distance away.

Illuminated by the lanterns bearing the imperial edict, the four walked through the demon realm as if it were the human realm.

The further Yun Yici went, the thinner the spiritual energy in the air became.

Unlike the human realm, where spiritual energy is abundant and readily available, the demon realm has very little spiritual energy. To absorb the spiritual power within demonic energy, one must carefully unravel its secrets.

Even with the lantern issued by the Emperor, Yun Yici remained cautious and dared not absorb spiritual energy indiscriminately, for fear of accidentally absorbing demonic energy into her body.

After demonic energy enters the body, it first pollutes the meridians, then the dantian, and finally the sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, under the influence of demonic energy, people will amplify their desires, resentment, and hatred, gradually developing inner demons and being assimilated into demonic cultivators.

Once you fall into demonic possession, you can forget about ever being able to ascend to immortality again in this lifetime.

Fortunately, the demon bird arrived in time.

This magical bird, summoned by the Emperor to serve as his mode of transportation, has sharp claws, black feathers, a red beak with sharp teeth, and jet-black eyes with a red halo around the pupils.

The emperor ordered them to first board the bird's back, then pull Shen Huaichuan up, and Yun Yici and Wan Nian leaped onto the bird's back.

This demonic bird was enormous, with a back wide enough for the four of them to sit on.

After the four sat down, the demonic bird spread its wings and flew directly towards the Demon Palace of the Imperial Decree.
