A Prostate Problem

After spending an entire night wandering around several occupied Human Race towns in the vicinity, Bai Qiuran discovered that these Monster Race were incredibly docile.

Let alone oppressing Human Race, these Monster Race actually seem afraid of Human Race trying to take advantage of them. One or two powerful and highly skilled Monster Race officers and generals would avoid elderly Human Race when they encountered them on the street.

After some investigation, Bai Qiuran confirmed her guess: these Monster Race were not driven by the will left by the deceased Demon Emperor before his death, but were mobilized by a certain force within the Monster Race.

However, he did not encounter any familiar Monster Race in the nearby towns, so he could not discern the details of this Monster Race army.

None of the Demon King came, and the few Monster Race generals who were familiar from the previous battles all died after returning due to lifespan issues or accidents. The Monster Race army has now been completely replaced by a new batch of blood, Bai Qiuran can no longer recognize who is who.

Before dawn, he returned to the front-line Command Post of the Divine Martial Heavenly Army and informed Zhao Ruize of these events.

"Judging from their appearance, they probably want to negotiate with us."

After listening, Zhao Ruize immediately said, "They might still need our help."

"Wow, Battalion Commander Battalion Commander is quite astute."

Bai Qiuran a slight surprise.

"Hey, Sword Ancestor, we are soldiers."

Zhao Ruize waved his hand and said, "Apart from those above who want to back down, what army is entirely afraid before even fighting?"

"Yes, I also informed the Jade-Faced Buddha about this situation via communication."

Bai Qiuran replied, "I discussed it with him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ruize asked, "So what does the Alliance Leader mean? To fight or to retreat?"

"Let's just hold things steady for now. The towns they control are both their Achilles' heel and their bargaining chip."

Bai Qiuran said, "If we just rush in like this, although we can win, many people will die. Let's wait and see what these Monster Race are planning."

Deciding to remain inactive, the Human and Demon Races faced off for several more days, but no armed conflict broke out.

A few days later, Su Xiangxue, who had handed over the affairs of the Hehuan Sect, also arrived here and heard Bai Qiuran tell her about the situation.

Perhaps the Monster Race learned of her arrival, because soon Monster Race sent an envoy.

Upon receiving the message, Zhao Ruize ordered his men to bring him before Bai Qiuran, Su Xiangxue, and the Jade-Faced Buddha, who was using Communication Stone.

The messenger was a snake demon. Upon seeing Bai Qiuran, he began to tremble, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.

"My friend from the Monster Race, please rise."

The Jade-Faced Buddha, whose phantom image appeared on the Communication Stone, gave a wry smile and said, "The Sword Ancestor is not the tyrannical person you think he is. Also, please state your purpose."

"Yes, sir."

The Monster Race swayed as he stood up, still keeping his head down and not daring to look at Bai Qiuran.

"I come on behalf of the King, who wishes to meet with the Sword Ancestor and the County Princess."

Bai Qiuran exchanged a glance with the illusory Jade -Jade-Faced Buddha on the Communication Stone, then asked, "Which Monster Race king do you represent?"

"Many."

The Monster Race envoy lowered his head even further.

"Snake King, Crocodile King, Eagle King, Flower King."

"Oh, so they've already formed an alliance."

Bai Qiuran sneered, turned to look at the Jade-Faced Buddha and Su Xiangxue, then said to the Jade-Faced Buddha, "Alliance Leader."

"Sword Ancestor, please go. I trust you with this matter."

The Jade-Faced Buddha nodded.

"As for Sect Master Su, that's beyond my control. Please proceed."

As the Alliance Leader, Jade-Faced Buddha was not worried about the safety of Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue at all. It was indeed dangerous to rashly send high-ranking officials into the enemy camp, but putting nuclear weapons into the enemy camp was a different story.

It's the enemy who should feel threatened.

I'm going too.

Su Xiangxue stood up and said without hesitation, "Www•hetushu•com•com."

Escorted by Zhao Ruize's men, Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue followed the Monster Race envoy through the Spatial Rift into the Demon Realm.

Apart from the denser Spirit Qi and the fact that the inhabitants of the Demon Realm are all Monster Race, the environment here is not significantly different from that of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. At least, it wouldn't make Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue think they had come to an alien planet.

The reason why the Demon Realm has such abundant Spirit Qi energy is that its territory is about half the size of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. Moreover, here, creatures that have not taken Shapeshift are not treated as fellow Monster Race.

Almost every Monster Race looks down on Human Race because Human Race are generally less gifted than Monster Race who can Shapeshift. The Shapeshift of Monster Race is essentially following the guidance of the Heavenly Dao, evolving from a lower life form to a higher one. However, when Monster Race Shapeshift, the Heavenly Dao guides them to take on human form, which is quite ironic.

Similar to the Human Race, the Monster Race has also set up a defensive line here. After Bai Qiuran rushed in last time, the Monster Race has been even more vigilant in guarding this rift.

Even if we can't hold out, we must ensure that a few Monster Race survive so that everyone can be notified to seek refuge.

Bai Qiuran, observing the arrogant attitude of the Monster Race envoy towards the lower-ranking Monster Race guarding the pass, quietly remarked to Su Xiangxue beside her, "It seems this entrance has been controlled by those Demon King working together."

"The Monster Race has a very clear hierarchy; Monster Race upper and lower Monster Race are practically two separate races. It's normal for this envoy to have this attitude."

Su Xiangxue explained in a low voice, "Besides, it's easy for those Demon Kings to control this place. This pass is a hot potato for the Monster Race; whoever gets it will want it. If someone takes the initiative to guard it, the power holding this pass will definitely hand it over without hesitation."

Why?

Bai Qiuran puzzled.

"This checkpoint is, after all, the only channel through which the Demon Realm communicates with the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou."

Su Xiangxue glanced at him speechlessly.

"Because of you."

"Hey, these Monster Race only know how to slander me."

Bai Qiuran retorted angrily, "Am I the kind of person who would kill someone's entire family just because of a disagreement?"

"From the perspective of the Monster Race, you are..."

Su Xiangxue said quietly, "On your way to kill the Monster Race Crown Prince and Cuiluo's mother, you also inadvertently caused great damage to the Monster Race."

Bai Qiuran snorted.

"Foolish Monster Race, this is arrogance and prejudice!"

Su Xiangxue ignored him and the two passed through the checkpoint amidst the fearful expressions of the guards nearby. When Bai Qiuran through, the guards standing to the side all trembled.

The Monster Race envoy leading the way had also changed his previous arrogant attitude, and was now trembling from time to time as he walked, just like a late-stage Parkinson's patient.

I'm talking to you.

Watching his retreating figure, Bai Qiuran called out.

The Monster Race envoy was so startled by Bai Qiuran's sudden voice that he almost jumped up. After recovering, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Yes! What are your orders, Sword Ancestor?"

"Tsk... do you have a prostate problem?"

Bai Qiuran clicked her tongue in amazement.

"If you need to pee, finish peeing before we leave. She and I can wait for you for a while; your shivering is really annoying."
