How Is the Battle at the Azure Nether Sword Sect Going?

Five days later, at dawn, a giant ship silently sailed into the Seaport of an Eastern City of the Demon Realm.

Three people disembarked from the boat in turn: a man with White Hair and a white robe, Plane covering her face and wearing a white dress, and a charming girl with two Twin Sabers at her waist, dressed in red.

"It seems the Demon Race haven't yet invaded the Demon Realm."

Bai Qiuran glanced at the bustling Demon Realm residents at the port and said, "Did the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou provide a buffer for the Demon Realm?"

"Senior Bai."

The girl in red, Li Jinyao, stroked her chin and said with a serious expression, "Doesn't this plot seem familiar? The Demon Race invades, the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou are in danger, and then the Demon Realm seizes the opportunity to launch a counterattack or something..."

"I'd like to see if that Demon Emperor and his prime minister have the guts."

Bai Qiuran sneered.

"I believe that with the wisdom of my younger brother and Prime Minister Yun Fengge, they would not dare to harbor any evil intentions again."

Su Xiangxue said.

"What if they really did have a brain fart?"

Li Jinyao asked.

"Then..." Su Xiangxue sneered, "I, for the sake of righteousness, will sacrifice my own family!"

"Amazing! Amazing!"

Li Jinyao clapped her hands.

"The older sister exudes an overwhelming aura of dominance; the younger sister is utterly impressed."

Su Xiangxue her eyes at her, her eyes filled with helplessness, just like an older sister dealing with a naughty younger sister.

"But Senior Bai, where are we going now? Are we going straight to the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou?"

Li Jinyao asked another question.

"Since we're already here, let's go see what the Demon Emperor is up to."

Bai Qiuran replied, "If you want to pull any tricks, break your legs beforehand."

Without further ado, the group arrived at the Demon Emperor Palace Demon Emperor's Council Hall in the Monster Race Imperial City. Su Xiangxue Charm Technique and Illusion Arts to the fullest. Under the super-enchanting Illusion Arts at the Immortals level, the three of them entered the heavily guarded Demon Emperor's Council Hall as if it were empty.

Just then, the Demon Emperor was also debating this topic with his prime minister and other ministers.

"This is a perfect opportunity!"

A minister, standing below, said with great enthusiasm, "The Demon Race has conquered the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou, which is a perfect opportunity for our Monster Race to focus on recovering our strength and rising again. Your Majesty, I suggest that we do not get involved in this mess, but simply wait quietly for the Human Race and the Demon Race to clash."

The young Demon Emperor looked at his prime minister and asked, "What are your thoughts, Chancellor Yun?"

"Return to Your Majesty."

After a long absence, the more composed Yun Fengge bowed to the Demon Emperor and said, "I also believe this is a good opportunity, but it is also an opportunity to improve relations between the Monster Race and the Human Race."

"So, what does the Prime Minister mean?"

The minister who had proposed the idea of "keeping a low profile" asked.

"If we're going to send troops, we have to get involved in this mess."

Yun Fengge replied, "We must help the Human Race repel the invading Demon Race."

"Why? Our race has just suffered heavy losses and has few usable soldiers. Why must we spare troops to help the Human Race?"

The minister retorted.

"Because if we want to grow stronger again in the future, it is essential to maintain good relations with the Human Race."

Yun Fengge answered calmly.

"The relationship between humans and demons is inherently irreconcilable. Those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions. This is the sentiment shared by both us and humans."

The minister bowed to the Demon Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please reconsider. This move is unacceptable."

"Then we'll leave it to His Majesty to decide."

Yun Fengge answered calmly and confidently.

After pondering for a moment, the Demon Emperor nodded and said, "I also believe that we should send troops to help the Human Race."

"His Majesty!"

"Grand Preceptor, please calm down."

The Demon Emperor raised his hand, his tone calm yet carrying an air of undeniable authority.

"Please hear what I have to say."

The minister fell silent.

"My decision to send troops is based on several factors. Firstly, considering the current situation, the Human Race's strength surpassed ours after the last civil war, yet they have been defeated in such a short time. This indicates that the Demon Race has become stronger... And once the entire Ten Lands of Jiuzhou fall, the Demon Race's next target will undoubtedly be our Monster Race. I understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'."

The Demon Emperor calmly explained, "As for the second one, it is that incredibly powerful Human Race Sword Ancestor... no, I should now respectfully call him brother-in-law. Although he has mysteriously disappeared from the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou for thirty years, I believe he will definitely return. The Monster Race's assistance to the Human Race will earn him considerable favor."

"This..."

The minister hesitated for a moment, then continued, "But the Human Race Sword Ancestor has been gone for over thirty years. None of us know when he will return. What if by the time he returns, our Monster Race has already been defeated by the Demon Race?"

"No, the Sword Ancestor will not allow the Human Race to be destroyed. After all, he is like a guardian deity of the Human Race in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou."

The Demon Emperor replied, "If the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou are in trouble, no matter how far apart we are, he will definitely return... Perhaps right now, he is in our Demon Realm, on his way to the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou."

He paused, then instructed, "Let's proceed accordingly. Draft my decree and gather all the Border Garrison Troops. As for the White Bear King... send an envoy to explain the situation to him. If he's willing to send troops, he can; if not, we don't need to wait. Also, open the passes and prepare to receive and resettle the Human Race refugees."

Upon hearing this, Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue quietly left the Demon Emperor Palace.

"I didn't expect this kid to be so savvy."

On the way out, Li Jinyao muttered to herself, as if she were a troublemaker.

"I was even thinking of testing the skills of the disciples taught by Sister Lan."

She touched the hilt of the knife, a hint of regret in her eyes.

"If you want to test your sword, don't go to Lan'er's disciples. There are plenty of Demon Race in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou who will let you test your sword."

Bai Qiuran gently tapped her head and said, "The Demon Emperor's wisdom is a good thing for us. At least it will reduce the casualties among the Human Race in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. Let's go directly to the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou next."

To speed up their journey, Bai Qiuran summoned Clear Autumn Waters and led the two girls, Su Xiangxue and Li Jinyao, on their way.

Half a day later, the group left the Demon Realm and entered Lin Province, which borders the Demon Realm, within the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou.

Lin Province was once the least populated of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou due to the war with the Monster Race. Ironically, now, due to the invasion of the Demon Race, Lin Province is probably the most prosperous Human Race -controlled area in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou.

As they flew through the air and were about to leave Lin Province, Bai Qiuran suddenly saw a large convoy of carriages and horses below, carrying supplies and goods, heading inward from outside Lin Province.

So he descended and landed above the procession of carriages and horses.

Several people riding swords suddenly descended from the sky, startling everyone in the caravan. They quickly realized that they were Cultivators passing by, so they stopped the caravan and asked Bai Qiuran for their purpose.

"Excuse me, seeing that you all seem to be in a hurry, and not from Lin Province, I would like to ask you a few questions."

Bai Qiuran stood on the Flying Sword and bowed to everyone in the caravan.

"Esteemed warriors, if it is convenient, could you please inform me of the information regarding the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou?"

"Sure."

A middle-aged man who appeared to be the Chief of the caravan replied, "Master, you may ask me any questions you may have."

Thank you.

Bai Qiuran nodded, then asked, "So, how is the battle situation for the Azure Nether Sword Sect?"

The Azure Nether Sword Sect is a renowned sect throughout the world, and the Human Race in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou should all have heard of it.

But the middle-aged man was taken aback upon hearing this. He replied, "Immortal Master, don't you know? The Azure Nether Sword Sect has already fallen."
