Watching the two exchange words, Si Yang got goosebumps all over his body, but couldn't help thinking of his disciple.
I wonder how he is doing in his seclusion at this time?
However, with the Heavenly Ladder broken and spiritual energy gradually depleting, reaching the Mahayana stage of cultivation is already the limit for cultivators on the Cangling Continent.
Even Si Yang himself couldn't help but sigh deeply whenever he saw the outstanding juniors of the Emperor.
If only they could still cultivate and ascend to immortality...
Si Yang composed himself, dusted off non-existent dust from his sleeves, and gently stroked his face with his palm, revealing a face that had lost seven-tenths of its color.
"Do you need any help?" he asked Fu Mingxu.
Han Tao answered for him: "No need."
After saying that, Fu Mingxu felt a chill run down his spine, realizing that Han Tao had covered his face. He quickly asked, "How is it?"
Si Yang observed him intently for a few moments and commented, "Nothing special."
Her complexion was only one percent of her original beauty, but her eyes shone like stars, and the spirit between her brows and eyes became even more apparent in contrast to her ordinary face.
Han Tao clearly saw this as well, and reached out to change it again.
But Fu Mingxu couldn't wait to enter the Demon Realm. He wiped his face and said, "Let's go."
Then he stood still and waited quietly for the concealment formation to open, while carefully observing Han Tao's appearance.
Well, it looks pretty ordinary, except it has a fierce aura and looks like it's not someone to mess with.
"There's no one here now, let's hurry up and leave." Demons frequently come and go from the entrance to the Demon Realm, and Si Yang urged, "No one will notice if we enter now."
"Fu Mingxu, just keep your head down and follow us."
Fu Mingxu hadn't expected that he would specifically remind him, "Thank you for the reminder, Immortal Lord."
Si Yang was taken aback, but then he understood what he was thanking him for. Without explaining further, he waved his hand, and the concealment formation was removed, revealing the three figures.
The scorching heat made one wish they could wear even lighter clothing.
"Don't use your spiritual energy." Si Yang narrowed his eyes. "Keep the magic stone safe."
The Demon Realm can automatically detect the location of spiritual energy, and the demonic energy in the Demon Stones allows them to disguise themselves as demons without being detected.
"Okay." Fu Mingxu nervously squeezed the magic stone.
As soon as Han Tao stepped into the entrance to the Demon Realm, he felt the demonic seed in the Dragon Soul tremble for a moment.
This change came and went quickly, but it was real.
Fu Mingxu noticed that he had paused for a moment, and following his gaze, he saw a scantily clad man giving him a flirtatious look.
So, Han Tao was completely stunned?
"What are you looking at?" Fu Mingxu pursed his lips and sneered, "A brothel?"
Han Tao, still reeling from the strange movement of the dragon's soul, asked in confusion, "What?"
He looked around, but apart from a few demons laughing and joking, he saw nothing at all.
Seeing him glance in that direction again, Fu Mingxu frowned.
Has Han Tao never seen Qingliang before, causing the dragon race's nature to relapse?
Si Yang was unaware of what had happened between the two. Just as he was about to speak, he saw a strikingly handsome man walking towards him.
Han Huan stopped in front of Han Tao, her gaze lingering on his exposed forearm before finally settling on his furrowed brows.
Although his face was ordinary, he was tall and imposing. Even through his clothes, his sharp eye could tell that his body was broad and agile.
Judging from the looks of it, the initial investment was quite substantial.
Unexpectedly, she encountered such a gem at the entrance. Han Huan's dissatisfaction at being forced to hurry disappeared without a trace, leaving only a strong sense of satisfaction.
“My fellow demon, my name is Han Huan.” He licked his lips and invited directly, “I like you very much. Come with me, and I guarantee your cultivation will be smooth.”
As for the cultivation method, he thought that once this fellow demon knew, he wouldn't refuse.
Han Tao's face was frosty as she pulled Fu Mingxu a step to the side, her refusal obvious.
The other demons were watching the commotion from a short distance away, shouting as if they wanted to make things even bigger: "Han Huan, it seems like they don't like people like you. Are you even capable?"
Han Huan's alluring face twisted for a moment, then quickly returned to a smile. He stretched out his index finger and tapped Han Tao's chest. "Come with me, you'll like it."
Startled, Fu Mingxu forgot his anger and pulled Han Tao away, glaring at him and saying, "Please have some self-respect!"
Si Yang stared in disbelief at all of this. He never expected that Han Tao would be so attractive to women in the Demon Realm.
The demonic energy in Han Tao's palm began to condense, and his disguised black eyes contained a strong killing intent.
Fu Mingxu smiled, his eyes sparkling, and said calmly, "What? You're going to force someone to be with you if they don't want to?"
The air at the entrance to the Demon Realm instantly froze.
Before the other party could answer, Fu Mingxu grabbed Han Tao's hair and said angrily, "Lower your head."
Han Tao leaned down and only realized what he was doing when his lips touched something soft.
"See that? Mine." Fu Mingxu finished all of this in one go, his eyes full of smugness. "If you're envious, go find it yourself. What kind of skill is it to shamelessly flirt with someone?"
"Is this how all the guests of the Hehuan Sect arrive?"
He said a lot in a row, and the implication in his words infuriated Han Huan.
The demonic energy in Han Tao's palm disappeared, and the killing intent in his eyes was deeply hidden.
He even went along with Fu Mingxu's words, saying, "Yes, it's yours."
Fu Mingxu's cheeks flushed red, and his expression was exceptionally captivating.
Si Yang coughed twice, signaling the two to be mindful of the occasion, but he also felt that this was the best solution.
"You...you all!" Han Huan never expected that her casual interest would cause her such humiliation. Laughter from her companions rose and fell behind her. This little episode would probably spread throughout Brother Zhen's Hehuan Sect soon.
After all, there was no sense of camaraderie between them.
With Han Huan leading the way, no one else dared to come and make a fool of themselves.
Watching them leave, Fu Mingxu's smile vanished. He turned and glared at Han Tao, letting out a cold snort: "What? Weren't you just staring at someone intently?"
The heat was still intense, and after talking so much, he felt parched and couldn't help but lick his lips. He was not quite used to the environment in the Demon Realm for the first time.
Han Tao, who had been staring at him, had a dark look in his eyes and a low voice: "I wasn't looking at him, I couldn't get enough of looking at you."
Fu Mingxu was about to retort when he looked up and met his eyes.
Si Yang, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't stand it anymore and urged, "Let's go, let's go, so as not to cause any more trouble."
These words were exactly what Fu Mingxu was thinking. He shook the goosebumps off his body and nodded in agreement: "Let's go."
All three put the little incident behind them and continued deeper into the Demon Realm.
It seemed that darkness fell earlier in the Demon Realm. After walking for an hour, just as Fu Mingxu was feeling dizzy and lightheaded, twilight quietly descended.
"Let's find a place to rest first." Han Tao pointed to an inn. "We can talk about it tomorrow."
Fu Mingxu stopped and looked around. There were fewer pedestrians in the twilight, and it would be inappropriate for the three of them to continue on their way. It might arouse suspicion from others.
An inn stands amidst the yellow sand. A large tree on the left side of the building protects it from the wind and sand, and a clump of flowers and plants of an unknown species grows lushly under the tree.
This inn is as attractive as an oasis in the desert.
"Let's go." Si Yang didn't have much of a concern, and stepped forward, not forgetting to turn back and call out to them.
Han Tao put his arm around his waist at the right moment and comforted him, "It's okay, even if it's a shady shop, we're not afraid."
Fu Mingxu's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed a bit. He let himself be led along, but before entering the door, he couldn't help but glance at the flowers and plants under the tree, feeling that something was amiss.
However, traveling in the Demon Realm under the cover of darkness is clearly not a wise choice.
Once inside the inn, he was relieved that the three of them had made the right choice.
"It's getting dark earlier and earlier in the Demon Realm now, and of course, the inn's business is getting better and better," a demon complained to his companion while eating in the lobby.
The three of them found a place to sit down. Han Tao took out the magic spirit stones that were universally used in the Demon Realm that he had prepared in advance, and symbolically asked the waiter to prepare a few dishes.
The food in the Demon Realm is all tainted with demonic energy, so it is naturally unsuitable for them to eat. Doing so is just following the crowd.
The waiter served the food quickly, and Han Tao tossed him a few more magic spirit stones, telling him to prepare two nice rooms.
Fu Mingxu casually picked up his chopsticks and poked at the food, then strained his ears to listen to what the people at the next table were saying.
What they were talking about didn't seem to be a secret.
"Sigh, ever since the new Demon Lord took office, everyone's been saying that demonic spirits are about to appear." The speaker devoured the flesh of a demonic beast, slamming his hand on the table repeatedly. "A little girl like her, does she think that just because she's become the Demon Lord, she can make the entire Demon Realm listen to her?"
"What's the point of having a demon spirit? Besides allowing us to cultivate as before, what else can this thing do?"
"Even a three-year-old human knows that the Heavenly Ladder has long been broken. Does that mean we can ascend to heaven just because we have a demon spirit?!"
"How ridiculous!"
The demons made no attempt to hide their disdain for the new demon lord. Fu Mingxu looked around at the demons, and everyone's faces showed an expression of approval.
Upon hearing this, Fu Mingxu fell into deep thought. Long ago, demons could also ascend to immortality. These demons were few in number, possessed demonic spirits within their bodies, and followed the orthodox demonic cultivation methods.
However, after the demon spirits disappeared, the demonic energy continued to grow, and the demon population increased dramatically, but no demons ascended to immortality.
However, with the Heavenly Ladder severed, this demonic spirit is of little use to the demon race.
The newly appointed Demon Lord is a woman, so why does she insist on creating demon spirits?
The changes in the Demon Realm are quite significant, and Han Tao has not received any news about them.
Fu Mingxu secretly stuffed the food into his storage bag, sat for a while, and when he saw that he couldn't hear any valuable news, he pretended to wipe his mouth and said, "I'm so tired, let's go rest."
Han Tao and Si Yang also put down their chopsticks, intending to rest like the other demons.
Just as the three were about to lift their feet up, they heard a familiar voice: "Oh, it really is you guys."
Fu Mingxu frowned, and seeing the person standing in front of him, he couldn't help but say, "What a small world!"
Han Huan leaned against the stair railing with her arms crossed, her eyes sparkling with charm, attracting the envy of many demons.
"A good dog doesn't block the way," Fu Mingxu said, tightening his grip on Han Tao's arm and staring at Han Huan.
He thought the other person would definitely say something in rebuttal, but to his surprise, the other person actually made way for him and even gestured for him to proceed.
Fu Mingxu had a bad feeling, but he couldn't do much. He just glanced at Han Huan warily and pulled Han Tao upstairs.
