Chapter 582 Lingdry City

The six illusory mountain peaks that Xue Lan and the others had seen earlier were collectively known as the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm had a gate, and non-demons were not allowed to enter.

"Is there no way to avoid this even with the Demon Transformation Pill?" Lu Feng asked, looking at Xue Lan.

Xue Lan gently shook her head: "There's nothing I can do."

The woman raised her hand and pointed to the phantom of the Demon Realm on the horizon: "The restrictions above the gate to the Demon Realm were personally set up by that old codger. Only those bloodlines recognized by him can enter; ordinary demons are not qualified."

Xue Tong glanced at Xue Lan, a look of anticipation on her face:

"for example……"

"For example, his demonic avatars, the priests he approved, and the demon lords he appointed in the lower realms. And..."

Xue Lan paused slightly, and Xue Tong immediately slapped her arm anxiously:

"What else?"

"And I!"

An arrogant voice rang in the girl's ear. The white-robed, white-haired inner demon suddenly appeared beside Xue Lan. After exchanging a glance, Xue Lan spoke lightly:

“She’s connected to the demon god; we can go in and investigate first…”

"no!"

Before Xue Lan could finish her sentence, she was met with opposition from everyone.

Shen Suan Zhenren looked at Xue Lan and slowly spoke:

"It's too dangerous. You're only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

Xue Lan disagreed with the old man's words: "So what if I'm in the early Nascent Soul stage?" The woman pulled aside her inner demon:

"Isn't there a Nascent Soul stage cultivator here? I'm just going in to investigate and maybe damage the boundary gate while I'm at it."

"No!" This time it was Xue Tong's turn to refute Xue Lan. The girl looked at Xue Lan and asked:

"Aren't the demon realms in the upper and lower realms the same?"

“There’s not much difference,” Xue Lan said earnestly.

"Then why go in and investigate?" Xue Tong asked, quite puzzled.

"Haven't you been to the Demon Realm of the Upper Realm before?"

She didn't believe that someone capable of conquering the Nine Heavens Demon Realm wouldn't know what the Demon Realm of the Yuanming Realm was like.

In fact, Xue Lan really didn't know what the Demon Realm was like.

She knew that the demon realms above and below were extremely similar because the cultivation methods practiced by demons required such a structure.

As for seeing it inside with my own eyes...

Xue Lan shook her head seriously at Xue Tong:

"To be honest, I used to sweep the Demon Realm clean with a single sword strike before entering the Nine Heavens Demon Domain."

During the years when the Wolf Lord guarded the pass, the demons never lived in the Demon Realm; they all cowered in fear within the Nine Heavens Demon Domain.

Despite this, he was still hunted down and killed every day. In the end, he had no choice but to sign a contract to not enter the upper realm for 1,300 years.

Xue Tong didn't know what to say, so she could only sing "How Lonely It Is to Be Invincible" in her heart.

The girl looked at the inner demon and said, "Can't we ask her to share some of our demonic energy?"

Xue Lan shook her head: "The boundary gate can distinguish the demonic energy passing through, so this method won't work."

Xue Tong thought to himself, "Wow, a demon from the Demon Realm is actually using a one-demon-one-qi technique. That's really advanced."

“So…” Xue Lan looked at everyone expectantly again.

"Don't talk!"

Xue Tong was determined not to let Xue Lan enter the Demon Realm alone, no matter what. The Wolf Lord was a notorious troublemaker in the Yuanming Realm, and had the same trouble-making ability as a distant relative from another world.

By letting this person go alone in the Demon Realm, does she have a death wish?

Just as Xiaotong was racking her brains and about to break the system panel, Awu, who had been holding the small boat silently, raised her hand.

"I have an idea."

"What's the solution?" Xue Tong looked at her good friend with anticipation.

Ah Wu slowly extended a finger and pointed to the ground beneath everyone's feet:

"We can use the ley lines."

"Aren't all the ley lines in the desolate region dead?" Master Shen Suan asked with some doubt.

"Senior Uncle," Xue Lan explained to Master Shen Suan with a smile.

“This Miss Awu comes from the Thousand Realms of Ghosts. There may be things we don’t know in the Asura clan’s records.”

The old man, Shen Suanzhen, was surprised to find that the girl was from the Thousand Realms of Ghosts. He nodded slightly and said nothing more.

A-Wu smiled slightly at Shen Suan Zhenren, and then the girl's ethereal voice reappeared in everyone's minds:

"As this senior said, the desolate region has been tainted by demonic energy for a long time, and in theory there should not be any ley lines. However, in the last five hundred years, a ghost cultivator and his subordinates built a Spirit City in the Void River. The Spirit City survived by itself and actually formed a small ley line that went straight through a boundary gate of the Demon Realm."

"Lingku City?" Xue Lan murmured these three words. Then, looking at A Wu, she spoke:

"This ghost cultivator has established his own sect in Void City. Doesn't City Lord Lin of Void City care?"

The current head of the Void River, Lin Zui, is a ruthless and powerful woman, as Dao Xuanzi once told Xue Lan. Under her rule, the Void River in the lower realm has remained peaceful for two thousand years.

Awu gently shook her head: "My lord, you may not know this, but this ghost cultivator is the daughter of Lord Lin."

"Lord Lin's daughter?"

A-Wu's words made Xue Lan even more puzzled, because in Dao Xuanzi's account, the City Lord Lin had never married in his life, so how could he have a daughter?

"That's not her biological daughter, but a vengeful ghost that Lord Lin raised in his early years. After gaining some power, it disappeared. It suddenly reappeared five hundred years ago and established the power of Lingku City in the desolate region," Awu recounted earnestly.

"The city lord of Lingku City is named Qiu Yinzhen. Because Lingku City is located in the desolate region, it has had many contacts with my Thousand Realms Ghost Realm. We can use the ley lines of Lingku City to enter the Demon Realm."

"It's just..." Ah Wu hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"What's wrong?" Xue Lan asked gently. "If you have any problems, just say them. There's no problem in this world that I can't solve."

Upon hearing this, A-Wu nodded slightly, and then told Xue Lan:

"My lord, this Lord Qiu's temperament is far inferior to her mother's. Lingku City does not accept living people or demons. Even wandering souls are only allowed to cross the Yellow Springs and feel remorse."

"I'm afraid the master won't be able to get in."

Xue Lan smiled gently: "I think this condition was set up specifically for me."

"A wandering soul, in the entire Yuanming Realm, is there a more thoroughly wandering soul than mine?"

The river of time flows for thousands of years; I wonder if it can compare to crossing the Yellow Springs.

The woman exchanged a glance with the inner demon beside her, then gently patted the girl's head:

"Take me to see Lord Qiu."

She absolutely had to go to the Demon Realm, and she was also very curious about this Lord Qiu.

And back then...

Xue Lan's eyes darkened.

Back in Jingu City, Xue Lan speculated that City Lord Lin had been murdered, but later Dao Xuanzi said that Xumingchuan was fine and City Lord Lin was still in power.

Indeed, the world is as deep as any pool, and even the Yellow Springs are no exception.
