The group stayed in Xixia City for a day. Besides asking Long Yuan two favors, they unexpectedly learned about Xue Ziyan and her daughter.

“Sui Ge? He and his human companion have already separated.”

"But I don't know where that female cultivator went."

Yun Yici pressed further, "Was Sui Yi taken away?"

Long Yuan was stunned for a moment, then realized: "It's Sui Ge's daughter? How could we demon cultivators let human cultivators take away our child?"

Wu Wang slapped his thigh in exasperation: "Didn't he dislike Sui Yi's bloodline being atavistic? What? Now he wants a child?"

Yun Yici also said, "Does that mean Madam Xue has already left Ximing City, but Suiyi is still left in the city?"

Long Yuan nodded and said, "Yes."

“A month or so ago, Sui Ge held a grand ceremony for the initiation of the bond, and my wife went to see the cub in person.”

Longyuan's wife gestured and added, "About this tall, such a small person, who can't speak and doesn't smile much."

"She looks rather pitiful. The new lady is from the Sleeping Raven Clan, a clan known for its jealousy, regardless of gender."

She was representing the Jiaolong clan to deliver the congratulatory gift.

Even if you feel bad about it, you can't ruin the relationship between the two tribes.

She could do nothing but sigh inwardly.

Wu Wang murmured, "What a tragedy, what a tragedy."

Yun Yici stood up and said, "Let's not waste any more time, let's go."

"It seems that Madam Xue miscalculated Sui Ge, and so did I."

It wasn't out of love for his daughter that he wanted to keep the child by his side, but rather to punish his former lover, or perhaps for the sake of that ridiculous sense of dignity.

Even if she dies beside him, she should never be taken away by the child's mother.

As soon as Yun Yici moved, everyone else stood up as well.

Long Yuan quickly interjected, "Won't you all stay a little longer, esteemed deities?"

"Should I send someone to escort you to Ximing City?"

Long Yuan was terrified by the previous accident and dared not personally escort anyone this time.

Xie Qianjue smiled and said, "No need. Thank you for your kindness, Chief Longyuan. Perhaps we can get there faster by taking the Sun and Moon Shuttle."

Wu Wangqi, the Buddha of No Delusion, said, "Back then, I said that the demon cultivator that Qu Ming fell in love with was a fool, and sure enough, it was true."

"I have no children in my life, and I've only ever cleaned up the messes left by the other spirits!"

The group walked to a spacious area outside the city and boarded the Sun and Moon Shuttle.

The Sun and Moon Shuttle flew far away, and the Longyuan couple, who had come to see their guests off, heard Wuwang cursing and swearing.

Yun Yici sighed and said, "What I'm worried about is Fellow Daoist Xue. She won't give up on Suiyi."

......

As Yun Yici guessed, Xue Ziyan's dream city died before it even began.

Because Suiyi was forcibly detained in Ximing City, she had no choice but to return to the human realm to seek help.

The good news is that the cultivators of Ximing City were sent to the border between the human and demon realms ahead of time, as required by the imperial decree.

Xue Ziyan first gathered the cultivators who were willing to follow her, and then ventured deep into the demon realm again.

Unfortunately, the demon bird was the eyes and ears of the Feathered Clan.

Their big moves could not escape Sui Ge's notice.

The initial setback and warning did not break this desperate mother.

They split into smaller teams and operated in small groups. By chance, Xue Ziyan contacted the servant who was still by Suiyi's side.

In the dense forest, a magic array created an impenetrable illusion, making it difficult for the demonic bird to see the truth within.

Xue Ziyan and two other cultivators were inside. Before long, the illusion rippled, and a winged woman walked in from outside.

If Yun Yici were here, she would realize that she knew this female demon.

It was the female demon cultivator who had previously gained Xue Ziyan's trust in Xuedu and had always been with Suiyi.

The female demon's face showed anxiety: "Madam, something terrible has happened! Young Master Suiyi is dying."

Xue Ziyan suddenly stood up, her face pale: "Wasn't she fine just a few days ago? How come she's suddenly like this?"

The female demon cultivated the Dao: "Madam Bai has been using a spell on Young Master Suiyi, keeping her in a deep sleep, only allowing her to be awake for one or two hours a day when she is in the presence of people."

"It was fine when the Demon King intervened, but now that he's turned a blind eye, Young Master Suiyi just lets her have her fun."

Xue Ziyan was trembling with anger.

That was a piece of her flesh that had fallen from her body, but to another woman it was like a lifeless object that felt no pain.

Previously, Sui Ge forced her to leave, and she originally thought she could take Sui Yi with her.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Sui Ge changed his mind and detained Sui Yi.

She had originally planned to proceed slowly, and with the familiar female demon looking after Suiyi, she should be safe for a while.

Little did anyone know that Sui Ge would find a new partner not long after.

The new Madam Bai, however, was using a subtle, insidious method to slowly wear down Sui Yi until he was dead.

"They're trying to drive her to her death, even though she's already in poor health."

Xue Ziyan burst into tears: "Sui Ge has failed as a father."

"Suiyi can't wait any longer, and neither can I."

The two cultivators beside him, the hot-blooded male cultivator said angrily, "If that's the case, then we'll gather our men and rush into the city to snatch the young master back."

Another female cultivator pulled him back: "Don't act rashly. Ximing City is Suige's stronghold."

"Furthermore, the other demon cultivators won't care that we're fighting over the grudge between the city lord and Sui Ge."

"Once the open war is started, it will escalate into a war between humans and demons."

The male cultivator said indignantly, "Then what can we do? You heard it too, the young master can't wait any longer."

Xue Ziyan wiped away her tears: "Fellow Daoist Fang is right. We must not act impulsively, especially at crucial moments."

A determined light flashed in her eyes: "I've come to deliver a message to Sui Ge, telling him that Senior Wu Wang will soon return to replace Sui Yi's divine blood."

“Sui Ge is blinded by greed. As long as there is even the slightest possibility that Sui Yi will revert to her ancestral ways, he will take good care of her.”

"Save Suiyi's life first, then we can discuss what happens afterward."

Xue Ziyan took a deep breath, stepped forward, and knelt before the female demon cultivator: "I am no longer the Demon King's wife of Ximing City."

“If you are willing to help my daughter and me, I will definitely not let you take the risk for nothing.”

The female demon sighed and helped her up: "Don't say anymore. I've been with the young master since he was a child. I can't just watch her be tormented to death."

"I do not wish to betray the Demon King."

If things go wrong, she will not escape death.

"Madam, please hurry."

"I need to get back quickly, or Madam Bai will definitely become suspicious."

After the female demon finished speaking, she quietly withdrew from the illusion, transformed into a demon bird, and disappeared into the forest.

Xue Ziyan rallied and immediately took out the jade slip to write on it herself.

She didn't know where Wuwang was, but she was willing to go to hell to make her daughter's life better, so why would she write a deceptive jade slip?

The jade slip was quickly written, and Xue Ziyan, having timed it perfectly, took out a spirit bird she had brought from the human realm from her spirit beast pouch and instructed it to go to Ximing City.

The bird's figure quickly disappeared into the clouds, but she quietly watched the bird disappear into the clouds for a very long time.
