"It might have something to do with the Great Dao."
"It is said that in the ancient times, regardless of whether it was us or the Twelve Layered Heavens, including the underworld, we were all one. However, after it was scattered and was split into a few great realms, the heavenly dao was incomplete, but now that the heaven and earth is recovering, the great dao has started to be complete, and it is said that there is the chance of becoming a god."
"So you're saying, these sect are doing this for the sake of becoming a god in the future?" Jiu Muli's eyebrows twitched, he felt that it was somewhat inconceivable.
"Hard to say."
Zhan Wushuang shook his head and sighed: "Ten thousand years ago, there were too many secrets, no one is clear about it now, but there are also rumors saying that before long, the Evil Demons will invade without restraint, and most of these sect s are here for protection."
If the Evil Demons invaded again, these sect would have been in the Outer Realm for many years, and they would not be able to withstand it now.
Jiu Muli was silent. At this moment, she really wanted to return to the Three Mortal Heavens and ask Luo Hongchen, but after thinking about it, she gave up.
Logically speaking, when the Heavenly Dao began to achieve perfection, the Evil Demons should not have had the chance to do so, so why would they suddenly invade?
"Forget it, let's go."
Now that Devil Realm was not at peace, most of the time, Three Immortal Heavens would not be at peace either. She wanted to find her parents as soon as possible and then return as soon as possible.
Thinking till here, she did not linger, but instead walked straight towards the Devil Emperor's Palace.
Time continued to pass by as they travelled, the Devil Realm was once again in a state of turmoil.
In the following days, sect descended upon the land as well. Among these forces, some of them were gentle, while others were bloody and brutal, as if they were on par with the Earth Devil Sect.
However, these powers were truly strong. There were more than one or two Great Saints who had absolute authority. Even the top powers did not want to provoke them.
Chaos and slaughter exploded out in this instant.
Ten days later, Jiu Muli finally arrived at the center of the city, Demon Emperor City.
However, the moment she entered this place, before she even had the chance to inquire, she received a piece of news that caused her to turn ashen. Blood Flame City, which was guarded by Great Emperor s from Xuanling and Xinlan, were attacked by the descending sect.
"Father, mother!"
When Jiu Muli heard this, her heart instantly trembled. Xuan Ling, Xin Lan, in an instant, made her think of her own parents.
Soon after, she inquired around the city, and finally found out that the couple was indeed Jiu Xuanling and Feng Xinlan. They were absorbed by the Devil Emperor's Palace ten years ago, and it was said that Jiu Xuanling had rendered great service in battle, and was even accepted as his direct disciples.
However, at the same time she found out about this, she felt even more uneasy, because the Infinite Gate that had descended was extremely powerful. Although the Devil Emperor's Palace had reacted quickly, he had only sent two of the Great Sages over.
"What's the use of two great sages?"
Just the two Great Sages alone might be able to suppress one party in other places, but against these ten thousand year old alien sect, they were probably not enough. After all, she had personally witnessed the power of the Earth Devil Sect.
It seemed that he had to make a trip.
"Why did the Demon Emperor not appear? Is he really injured?"
Jiu Muli's heart was unsettled, and he could faintly guess why the Demon Emperor did not appear.
"I've found my family. I'm going to take a trip to the Blood Flame City. We'll part ways here."
Jiu Muli said with a serious face as he released the flying boat without hesitation.
The Devil Emperor's Palace was very peaceful. There was no power here that dared to covet it, so when she released her flying boat, she was not worried that anyone would steal it.
"Eh?"
When Zhan Wushuang saw this, his gaze focused, especially upon seeing Jiu Muli carrying a flying boat with him, he spoke with an embarrassed tone: "Then let's go.
"Alright."
Seeing this, Jiu Muli did not nag any further. It was rare for her to find out about Jiu Xuanling and his wife's matter so easily.
The two didn't linger and immediately set off.
Inside Blood Flame City.
Jiu Xuanling and Feng Xinlan sat facing each other in the Mayor Palace with solemn expressions.
"When will the backup arrive?" Feng Xinlan asked his husband with a tired expression.
They had already been guarding the Blood Flame City for more than two years. According to the agreement with the Demon Emperor, they would be able to go to the Twelve Layered Heavens after five years.
"I'm not sure, but it should be soon. It's a pity that Master got injured last time, and even wanted to suppress the god corpse."
Jiu Xuanling was also exhausted.
The Limitless Sect was simply too crazy. However, three days had passed and there would be two attacks a day, and now, they were being forced into a corner and had no choice but to rely on the Blood Flame City's defense.
"Hmph. However, they're just a bunch of cowards who fear death. Sooner or later, we'll kill them all." Feng Xinlan's brows furrowed, her phoenix eyes revealed a ruthless light. But very quickly, her complexion softened again as she sighed: "There's still two more years. I wonder how Li Er is doing."
"Don't worry, Xiao Lier will definitely be fine."
Jiu Xuanling sighed. When he mentioned his daughter, he couldn't help but soften, and the ruthless aura around his body disappeared without a trace. He looked at Feng Xinlan deeply, and said gently: "Don't go to tomorrow's battle."
"But I'm worried about you alone." Feng Xinlan shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with tenderness and grief.
Although she didn't know why she had revived, she knew how Jiu Xuanling had passed these past ten years. He had jumped from a mere little Star Profound Stage cultivator back then to a disciple of the Demon Emperor, and he was struggling to survive by himself in the Devil Realm. Who knew how many times he had walked shoulder to shoulder with death, and had suffered endlessly.
Some people envied his luck, being able to be favoured by the Demon Emperor, but they didn't know how much he had paid for this glory.
"It's fine, I don't want our child to have any more accidents."
Jiu Xuanling shook his head, and looked at Feng Xinlan's lower abdomen.
Feng Xinlan's eyes reddened. After hesitating for a long while, he held Jiu Xuanling's hand and sighed: "Then you must be extra careful."
This man was always like this. He always led the way and used his humble strength to create a pure land for her to protect her.
"I know."
Jiu Xuanling grinned, as though he was in a difficult situation, and was unable to shake his faith, but even so, his heart was still bitter, because he was no longer able to continue holding on to the barrier.
Devil Realm's demonic aura billowed. The sky seemed dark and the light became weak.
The soil that was dyed by the demonic energy was inky black. It looked like a painting made of ink, but it was also mottled with vicissitudes. It depicted the vicissitudes of time.
Between the heavens and the earth, life suddenly seemed like a long journey away from home!
Jiu Muli stood on top of the flying boat, and as he felt the mixed emotions and gloom coming from the Devil Realm, such a sigh surfaced in his heart for no reason.
Ten years. Today, she had been in this world for ten years. It was neither long nor short. This was an eternity, yet she had always been like a wanderer.
