Ni Xin'er and Zhang Dexiao

"Good."

Xuanjing, recalled the scene when Zhang Xuanchen heard about the Mirage Crystal, and smiled:

"Back then, there was a Phantom Sand Fox at the Early Fourth Stage beside the Mirage Crystal, while you were only at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage, far from being its match."

"But now, that Demon Fox is no different from an ant to you."

As for the illusion created by the Mirage Crystal, with me protecting it, there's nothing to worry about.

Zhang Xuanchen sighed, "Yes, time really flies."

In the blink of an eye, decades have passed.

"Mirage Crystal is an extremely special heavenly materials and earthly treasures that can create illusions that are difficult to distinguish from reality."

If refined into Formation, the range of the illusion array can be expanded, thereby strengthening the souls of the clansmen.

It has many uses.

I must get my hands on it.

"Xuanjing, please transmit to me the location of the Mirage Crystal that you remembered from back then."

"Good."

The Mystic Firmament Warship slightly changed its direction, but not by much.

Two months later, the warship arrived deep within the Ten Thousand Bones Sand Ruins.

Here, yellow sand fills the sky, and there is absolutely no sign of life.

The Mystic Firmament Warship was anchored in a valley, while Zhang Xuanchen, following the guidance of the Xuanjing, arrived at a desolate sand dune.

The place where the Phantom Sand Fox once roamed is now just a stretch of sand and some withered grass.

The Mirage Crystal remains buried beneath the yellow sand, emitting faint spatial fluctuations.

"Strangeness."

Zhang Xuanchen scanned his surroundings with his Divine Sense.

"Where's that Phantom Sand Fox?"

Xuanjing also investigated and said, "There is no trace of it nearby."

There wasn't even a trace of Demon Qi.

Zhang Xuanchen did not pursue the matter further. It was just an Early Fourth Stage Demon Beast; whether it perished, migrated, or was killed by other beings, it was none of his concern.

A layer of spiritual light enveloped his body, and he slowly merged into the ground.

Before long, one appeared in a small sand cave.

A fist-sized transparent crystal floated in the center of the sand cave. Inside the crystal, it seemed as if there was an upside-down palace, with illusory scenes flashing around it.

Without the Xuanjing, even with his Nascent Soul Peak Divine Sense, he would have been pulled into the illusion.

After storing the Mirage Crystal in his Myriad Spirit Ring and confirming that there were no other fortuitous opportunity, Zhang Xuanchen returned to the Mystic Firmament Warship.

Continue on your journey.

Several days later, the Mystic Firmament Warship arrived at the area where the Blood Night Demon Cult was located.

But the scene before them took everyone by surprise.

The Blood Night Demon Cult is now deserted.

The mountain gate formation was completely dismantled, and the main hall, storeroom, and Alchemy Chamber were all empty. Even the Spirit Stone fragments on the ground were taken away.

A gust of wind blew by, and the dilapidated palace creaked.

Little Flame jumped up on the spot.

"Is this the Blood Night Demon Cult?"

Are Su Hongling's subordinates really that spineless?

They all ran away?

That's way too fast!

As he spoke, he rushed into a side hall, and when he came out, he was only carrying a broken wooden plank.

"Damn! Not a single hair was left!"

Zhang Xuanchen looked at the empty mountain gate, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. "It's normal. Su Hongling is dead; they naturally know that staying here will definitely mean certain death."

"But we can't leave nothing behind!"

The more Little Flame thought about it, the angrier it became, and it opened its mouth and spewed out a flame.

Boom!

The remaining palaces of the Blood Night Demon Cult collapsed one after another, and raging flames soared into the sky.

As the Little Flame burned, he cursed:

"Let you run!"

"I'll make sure you take everything away!"

"Don't let me run into you guys!"

Zhang Xuanchen raised his hand to rub his temples, glanced at the Blood Night Demon Cult now reduced to ruins, and said:

These Demon Seed aren't stupid.

The more they act this way, the more it proves that we have a tough battle ahead of us.

Alright, let's go back to Hui territory.

The three returned to the Flying Boat. Zhang Xuanchen looked at Wuxin, who was at the helm, and said:

"Wuxin, Hui ethnicity."

"Yes, boss!"

As he spoke, he controlled the Flying Boat and headed towards Xuanxiao Mountain.

At the same time.

In Lingxiao Immortal City, people come and go on both sides of the street.

Zhang Dexiao held the hand of a young girl in a pure white dress and walked slowly through the crowd, looking around.

The girl was stunningly beautiful, with fair skin and a lively yet aloof air, like an untouched fairy.

Zhang Dexiao seemed somewhat distracted throughout the journey.

After walking for a while, he finally stopped, turned to look at the girl, and said, "Um..."

The girl turned her head, straightened Zhang Dexiao's slightly disheveled collar, and winked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Dexiao scratched his head, a rare hint of nervousness appearing on his face.

"Xin'er, will you marry me?"

The girl paused.

Zhang Dexiao quickly said:

"If you're willing, I'll take you to see my father when he gets back."

Ni Xin'er's cheeks gradually flushed red.

She lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to confess.

He leaned close to Zhang Dexiao's ear and whispered, "Dexiao, if I were a demon, would you still be willing to marry me?"

Zhang Dexiao was stunned, "A demon?"

Ni Xin'er nodded gently.

Zhang Dexiao did not answer immediately, but instead circled around her.

Ni Xin'er felt a little embarrassed by his gaze. "What are you looking at?"

Zhang Dexiao stroked his chin, did not reply, and muttered to himself:

"That's not right. I clearly practiced Pupil Technique, so how come I didn't notice?"

"No, you should be different from other demons, right?"

Ni Xin'er pursed her lips. "Aren't you afraid?"

Zhang Dexiao didn't reply, but suddenly reached out and picked him up.

Ni Xin'er gasped and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck.

Zhang Dexiao carried her out of Lingxiao Immortal City, and when they arrived at a secluded grove outside the city, he placed her on the grass.

He patted his chest, tilted his head back, and said, "What's there to be afraid of?"

I was just a little surprised and excited.

"I'd marry you even if you were a demon, as long as you're willing to marry me."

Zhang Dexiao looked at her and said earnestly, "I, Zhang Dexiao, am in love with you."

Besides, I actually suspected a long time ago that you might not be human, I was just a little unsure.

Ni Xin'er stared at him blankly.

Zhang Dexiao continued:

"Besides, I'm not the Zhang Clan Patriarch, so there's no need to worry too much about this kind of thing."

"Although my father often beats me, he is still a very open-minded person, as long as you have no ill intentions towards the Zhang Family."

He'll definitely agree.

Ni Xin'er asked softly:

Do you really think he'll agree?

"Absolutely."

Zhang Dexiao answered without hesitation.

"I can sense that you are different from the other Demon Race."

Strictly speaking, you shouldn't be considered a true Demon Race, right?

Ni Xin'er was silent for a moment, then nodded gently, "I was not born of Demon Beast. By fortuitous opportunity, I fused with the Essence Blood of the deceased Three-Eyed Luni Huang, and transformed into a special Heaven-Earth Spirit."

"Bearing a portion of the Demon Race's destiny, it was raised by the Beast King of the Azure Nether Mountain Range."

"Then that settles it?" Zhang Dexiao laughed.

"As long as you're not a demon here to harm people, my father will absolutely not object because of your identity."

"Of course, all of this is on the premise that you have no ill intentions towards my Zhang Family."

Otherwise..."
