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

According to Ying Ren's original plan, Shi Tian was to inherit Jiuqi City, and Mu Yunjian was to serve as the deputy city lord.

The two brothers could look after each other.

The fact that Mu Yunjian held a position second only to one demon and above all others was not a slight.

Little did they know that Mu Yunjian had her own ideas.

Without seeking any help from the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan, he single-handedly established the fifteenth city of the demon realm—the City of Ten Thousand Demons.

The other demon city lords looked at this newly formed demon city, which resembled clusters of sparks, as if they were watching little demon children playing house.

Out of respect for Ying Ren, the city lords of the demon city were still somewhat accommodating, regarding this arrogant "Ten Thousand Demon City" as a subordinate city of Jiuqi City.

Who would have thought that after Mu Yunjian recruited a group of followers, instead of staying put and developing his power, he actively sought trouble.

—He rescued all the demons who had been imprisoned by other demon races.

Such a big move offended many demons, but they had a legitimate reason to act in order to give Ying Ren face.

In the ensuing battles among the demon race, Mu Yunjian displayed methods and intelligence that exceeded everyone's expectations.

The City of Ten Thousand Demons not only survived the chaotic battle against multiple enemies, but thrived instead.

With Qingqiu, who was adept at navigating both sides, and Jiuqi, as her maternal family, taking the lead in acknowledging the independence of Wanyao City, the rest was a matter of course.

Mu Yunjian used the demon city he built with his own hands to prove to Ying Ren his determination to return to the human world, and no one could stop him anymore.

Ying Ren felt a mix of pride, emotion, and relief that Mu Yunjian hadn't treated him like a foolish son's right-hand man.

Mu Yunjian's ambition was destined to never be subordinate to others.

Even he, as the father, had to admit that Shi Tianchao was far inferior to Mu Yunjian.

Just the fact that Shi Tian is obsessed with women gives Mu Yun a hundred ways to kill him.

Ying Ren was also very frustrated about this. He had a great reputation, but Yao Yu was the only woman he had ever been with. He didn't know where Shi Tian had learned this bad habit.

But even if you dislike your own child, they are still your own flesh and blood.

Taking advantage of this trip to the human realm during the twilight, Shi Tian was itching to go.

Ying Ren readily agreed, planning to let him learn some brains by staying by Mu Yunjian's side.

After a long journey, the group arrived at Nanhua Sect only to find it empty. After inquiring about the location of Lingwei Sect, they continued their journey for several more days.

Shi Tian was hoping to run into Li Ji on the road so he could properly apologize to her.

Unfortunately, Shitian's wish ultimately failed.

After the four arrived at Hidden Dream Marsh, they did not see Li Ji.

With the Lingwei Sect so close at hand, the little girl in green whom Bai Ruo had been protecting exclaimed happily, "I can feel it! Little Candle should be up there."

Zhu Jian nearly died back then, and it was the life essence she condensed that saved her.

Therefore, she could sense a trace of Zhujian's presence.

Bai Ruo, riding the demon bird, originally intended to fly directly to the depths of the Lingwei Sect.

Unexpectedly, there seemed to be a transparent protective barrier high in the sky, making it difficult for the spirit bird to fly close.

They are here as guests, and it is impossible for them to make a move rashly.

Only after Mu Yunjian gave them a hint did the four of them get off the spirit bird and obediently climb the cloud ladder to enter the sect.

Because of Yun Yici's announcement, the entrance to the cloud ladder was crowded with eager mortals, and human figures were often seen on the cloud ladder.

Shi Tian frowned and said, "Are these mortals just blocking the entrance like this? They really have no manners."

To give an example, it's like a group of monsters that can't even take human form blocking the gates of the Demon King's mansion.

Bai Ruo disagreed, saying, "Humans are different from us. We see them as ordinary people, but perhaps one of them will be able to sit down and discuss the Dao with us on equal footing someday, just waiting for the right opportunity."

Shi Tian did not believe it.

The humans nearby enthusiastically gathered around: "You just came down from the spirit bird, are you also going to the Lingwei Sect to seek immortality?"

“A while ago, three immortals also went up there.”

“Every time we climb up this ladder made of clouds, we somehow end up back at the starting point, but those three immortals never came down after they went up.”

Mu Yunjian asked about the appearance of the three people who went up, and finally confirmed that the three were Wen Fuyue and the others.

He thanked the kind villagers and then silently climbed the ladder.

Upon seeing this, Bai Ruo and the other two quickly followed.

The four men were incredibly fast, and in no time they left all the villagers behind.

Bai Ruo followed behind the little girl in green, carefully reminding her: "I think there's more to this Heavenly Ladder than meets the eye; you could easily get lost if you're not careful."

"Only by maintaining a clear mind can one reach the end."

The little girl puffed out her cheeks and said defiantly, "Aruo, you should be worried about Mu Xiaotu and Xiao Jiuying."

"Look, they've all disappeared!"

Bai Ruo looked up in surprise and found that Mu Yunjian had indeed disappeared from sight.

When they turned around again, Shi Tian, ​​who had been behind them, had also disappeared.

The little girl smiled and said, "I told you so, why don't we see who gets to the finish line first?"

She couldn't wait to see Zhujian.

A hundred years later, she finally took human form.

Contrary to expectations of a tall and slender figure, she had transformed into a small child.

However, the sacred tree later found peace.

The age of a tree cannot be equated with that of a human cultivator or a demon cultivator. Among demon cultivators, she might still be a baby.

Once the divine tree got playful, it ran past Bai Ruo and took off running.

Bai Ruo chased after the tree spirit, but the cloud ladder underwent countless changes, separating the two of them.

Bai Ruo sighed, thinking that this was Yun Yici's territory and there should be no danger. Since she was so happy, she decided to let her be.

As he thought this, he slowed down considerably and began to leisurely study the intricacies of the cloud ladder.

When Mu Yunjian and Shu Ling arrived at the end of the cloud ladder one after the other, Long Jiao was so bored that he was dozing off.

Since Wen Fuyue and her group came last time, no one has come to visit again.

He was so bored.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly appeared—oh no, a demon has come knocking!

Long Jiao was excited.

He sprang into human form with a dragon-like agility, and then asked with a haughty air, "Do you wish to join my Lingwei Sect?"

Mu Yunjian glanced at the seemingly imposing but actually foolish dragon demon without leaving a trace, and put on a flawless smile: "Fellow Daoist, I'm here to find my junior sister, Yun Yici."

"The person next to me is my junior sister's friend from the demon realm with Senior Zhujian. She is from Qingqiu and her name is Baishu."

The little girl, dressed in all green, immediately straightened her back, trying to appear taller.

Long Jiao thought for a moment and remembered that Yun Yici had mentioned asking his senior brother to borrow a Nine-Headed Serpent to guard the gate.

He took out the small golden bell that Yun Yici had given him, shook it, and then transmitted his voice, "Sect Leader Yun, a white-haired, red-eyed demon cultivator has come to see you with a little child."

"He said he was your senior brother."

Yun Yici was investigating the strange changes in the lotus pattern within the Lingwei Seal when she was startled by Long Jiao's message.

She quickly called Ning Tinglan and Rong Xuan to go with her to the mountain gate to pick up the person.
