Both fas had valid points.

  However, the Green Mountain Demon King had already made up his mind.

  With a light snort, a small whirlwind swept through the great hall.

  Seeing this, her fa dared tue further, and all eyes turo the Lord of Qingqiu.

  "The human race is brutal, sughtering our Qingqiu people, which is utterly detestable! To protect our 's lives, I have decided to deploy troops and annihite the human cultivators!"

  "Wise King!"

  The old white tiger k, tears of excitement streaming down its face!

  "Sagacious King!"

  The pro-war fa cpped their hands in approval.

  The old wolf and other hesitant fas, though internally resistant, dared not oppose the Demon King and could only grudgingly accept.

  A leopard demon stepped forward, its strength outstanding among the third-tier demos, serving as a demon general guarding a region, parable to a half-step Elemental Infant.

  "My King, I was suppressed in the Demon Lock Tower by the Xuan Yi's ckeys for decades. This enmity is irrecible. Please allow me to lead my troops as the vanguard!"

  This demon general had suffered greatly at the Xuan Yi's hands and was eager to seize this opportunity to exact revenge on the human cultivators.

  "My King, though I am old, I too wish to pete for the vanguard position!"

  The old white tiger spoke passionately, spittle flying iement.

  "Old white tiger, yed and weakened. It's best for you to stay and guard the rear!"

  The leopard demon's eyes fshed with disdain. It was in its prime, and its cultivation was no weaker than the old demon generals.

  "Leopard boy, do you look down on me?"

  The old white tiger's frail body suddenly swelled, its muscles like cast iron.

  "Though I am old, I still fight for Qingqiu!"

  The two demon generals argued loudly over the vanguard position, turning the great hall into a marketpce.

  Those demons who wished to avoid battle watched the spectacle with amusement.

  Hmph!

  The Green Mountain Demon King snorted coldly, "There's no need for you tue. I will personally lead the expedition this time, and all six s must follow!"

  "The human cultivators dared to ihe aral nd of Qingqiu, destroying our demon 's foundation. This is an intolerable insult. We have been dormant for too long, allowing the humans to uimate us. It's time to strike back!"

  "No matter what schemes the humans have, they are nothing before our 's absolute strength!"

  "Join me in this expedition ahe name of the Qingqiu demon resound throughout the world!"

  "Sughter the humans, resound throughout the world!"

  "Sughter the humans, resound throughout the world!"

  "Sughter the humans, resound throughout the world!"

  The crowd of demons roared in unison!

  ...

  Phew!

  Lin Hao exhaled a breath of turbid air, feeliremely excited.

  He had repced his inal cultivatiohod with the dual cultivation teique of the Hehua and indeed felt the difference.

  It was like the differeween a mountain spring and a great river.

  As expected, the Hehua was most suitable for his physique.

  If not for his thoughts of his master, he would have sought out Gu Qingg and joihe Hehua with her.

  After ging his cultivatiohod, he felt unbearably hot and eager to try the new dual cultivation teique.

  Thus, he po take the initiative and capture a female cultivator.

  ...

  The little fox left the Demon King's Valley, traveling hundreds of miles to find Ning Qingxue.

  The woman was still dressed in white, sitting cross-legged on a rge green stone, a sword resting across her knees.

  Seeing someone approach, she did not open her eyes.

  The little fox simply watched quietly, saying nothing.

  However, her heart was in turmoil. Does my sister really think of me?

  Did she e this time not only to liaise with the demon but also to see me?

  Thinking of this, the little fox's eyes misted over.

  Her parents had died early, and she had relied on her sister since childhood, naturally depending on her.

  But ter, one ted by the Demon King, and the other infiltrated a huma, not seeing each other for years.

  She missed her only sister ao the Xuan Yio find her, only to be suppressed in the Demon Lock Tower.

  She was imprisoned for nearly ten years, during whiing Qingxue never visited her.

  No, she doesn't care about me!

  The mist itle fox's eyes dissipated, her gaze turning cold as she looked at the meditating woman.

  About half an hour ter, Ning Qingxue suddenly opened her eyes.

  Zheng!

  The sword on her knees uhed, like a rainbow, like wind and thunder.

  The sword seemed te with her.

  Buzz!

  A snon sshed out!

  Heading straight for a distant mountain.

  One sword leveled the mountain top!

  The little fox's eyes fshed with surprise.

  Ning Qingxue's strength had increased again, sshing with the sword power of the Core Formation stage using Foundatioablishment cultivation!

  What terrifying sword talent!

  Though shocked, the little fox did not fet her purpose for ing!

  She walked lightly to Ning Qingxue and said in a clear tone, "I have informed the Demon King of your pn, and he agreed to proceed as you suggested."

  Agreed? A hint of surprise fshed in Ning Qingxue's eyes. She hadn't held much hope for the pn's success.

  Though she was infiltrating a huma, she was well aware of the internal strife within the Qingqiu demon .

  The Green Mountain Demon King was old, and the strength of ea tio grow, all eyeing the position of the Demon King.

  At such a critical moment, who would be willing to deplete their own strength to start a war with the humas?

  Except for that old white tiger, who still had to avenge his son's death!

  "Did you inform the Green Mountain Demon King that the elders leading the sects are all at the Elemental Infant stage, and the Xuan Yi is led by Little Bamboo Peak's Venerable Murong Qi the te Elemental Infant stage? Are you sure you hahem?"

  "If I'm not mistaken, that bereaved white tiger will be the vanguard, right? He's old, his vitality deing. How many cultivators he withstand?"

  "Or is it that the demon ternally agrees to set up the old white tiger for a fall?"

  The little fox's eyes flickered, secretly calg. Although Ning Qingxue was her sister, she had been cultivating in a huma for many years. Who could guarantee her loyalty?

  It's possible she was here to probe the demon 's secrets!

  "The tiger leader is old; how he be the vanguard again? That would disgrace our Qingqiu demon 's reputation."

  "This time, the expedition against the human cultivators is led by the demon general Ling Feng. What do you think?"

  Ling Feng?

  Hearing this name, Ning Qingxue frowned. Ling Feng was the Qingqiu demon 's top warrior, possessing demon king-level strength, parable to the peak of the Elemental Infant stage!

  But wasn't he supposed to be in seclusion? Why would he e out now?

  She g the little fox, speg that this must be the Green Mountain Demon King's decision. Otherwise, it would be impossible to mobilize the top warrior!

  "It seems you've been doihese years; the Green Mountain Demon King favors you."

  The little fox felt a slight pain in her heart. No matter how well the Green Mountain Demon King treated her, he was ultimately an outsider. What she wanted was family... her sister's care.

  Yet from beginning to end, Ning Qingxue never spoke a gentle word.
