The Return of Stars to the Jianghu

Chapter 158 Heading to Qingluan Valley under the Demon King's Guidance

In the Martian oasis, in the underground world, in the palace of the demon race.

Luo Yifei nodded and continued, "That's true. The arrival of these cultivators has undoubtedly disrupted the tranquility of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. Their actions not only infringe upon the territory of the demon race but also threaten the life source of the demon race—the Xuan Tian Stone. We came here hoping to find a solution that allows human cultivators to cultivate while protecting the peace of the demon race."

After listening, the Demon King remained silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I understand your thoughts. However, you must know that the death power of the Ten Thousand Mountains is not so easily resisted. Moreover, the greed and ignorance of those cultivators often lead them to do things that cannot be undone. Furthermore, our demon race has already abandoned the Ten Thousand Mountains. We have all migrated to the Martian continent, and we will live here until we find a suitable new world."

“The Martian time tunnel can connect to the Illusionary Star Road, where the demon race and humans coexist peacefully. Why don’t you go there and give it a try?” Shen Lixi said.

"Peaceful coexistence? The demons there are merely coexisting peacefully with ordinary humans. They are the targets of those cultivators' invasions," the Demon King said mercilessly.

"But... but not all human cultivators are so greedy and ignorant." Luo Yifei hesitated for a moment, but still decided to say something for those cultivators who truly pursued the Great Dao. "Some people are genuinely seeking the path of cultivation. They respect nature and life. They will not disrupt the peace of the demon race, nor will they pose a threat to the Xuan Tian Stone."

The Demon King nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes: "You're right, there are indeed such beings among human cultivators. However, such people are too few. We cannot ignore the greedy and ignorant just because of the existence of a minority."

Seeing this, Shen Lixi also spoke up: "Your Majesty, we understand your concerns. However, we truly hope to find a way for human cultivators and demons to coexist peacefully. After all, we are all beings on this continent, and we all share a common future."

The Demon King pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I understand your feelings. However, this is not an easy matter. But I can offer you a suggestion."

"Please enlighten us, Your Majesty the Demon King," Luo Yifei and Shen Lixi said simultaneously, bowing.

"You can seek out a senior demon named 'Qingluan'," the Demon King said slowly. "She was once a human cultivator, but for some reason, she chose to abandon her human identity and become a member of the demon race. She is well-versed in the cultivation methods of human cultivators and also understands the survival methods of the demon race. If she is willing to help you, perhaps you can find a solution."

"Senior Qingluan? How can we find her?" Luo Yifei asked.

"She is in the Azure Phoenix Valley of the Illusionary Continent," the Demon King said. "You only need to go there to find her."

Luo Yifei and Shen Lixi exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes. They knew this mission would be even more difficult, but they also believed that as long as they worked hard, they would definitely find a solution.

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty the Demon King." Luo Yifei and Shen Lixi bowed again. "We will now head to Qingluan Valley to find Senior Qingluan."

The Demon King nodded slightly, watching the two leave the hall. He knew that these two young people would face great challenges, but he also believed that they had enough courage and wisdom to overcome all difficulties.

"I hope they succeed," the Demon King sighed softly, his gaze once again falling on the Xuan Tian Stone floating in the air. This stone carried the hopes and future of their demon race. He believed that as long as they were united, they would surely overcome this difficulty.

After leaving the Demon Clan's main hall, Luo Yifei and Shen Lixi strolled around the Martian oasis before returning to the outpost.

Nan Tian said to the two of them, "You just came back from the Illusionary Star Continent, are you going there again? I wonder if Commander Du will approve it."

“As long as he submits our application, I believe Captain Zhang will approve it,” Luo Yifei said confidently.

Shen Lixi nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, Captain Zhang will definitely understand and support us. Our mission this time is not only to find the Xuan Tian Stone, but also to find a way for human cultivators and demons to coexist peacefully. This is something that is of great significance to the future of all of us."

After hearing this, Nan Tian nodded and said, "I understand your determination and courage. Then, I will go and apply for it for you right away."

Nan Tian quickly submitted the application to Commander Du, who frowned as he looked at it. He knew this mission was no small matter; it involved not only the safety of the demon race but also the reputation of all human cultivators. After hesitating for a moment, he ultimately decided to hand the application over to Captain Zhang.

After receiving the application, Captain Zhang carefully reviewed it. Looking at the names Luo Yifei and Shen Lixi, he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. These two young men, since joining the army, had been working tirelessly for the future of humanity. They possessed not only outstanding strength and intelligence, but also unwavering faith and determination. He believed that this time they would definitely succeed.

Therefore, Captain Zhang approved the application without hesitation and arranged for Du Qi to personally see Luo Yifei and Shen Lixi off. He also arranged for Nan Tian and Su An to accompany them. He told them that no matter what difficulties they encountered, they must persevere for the future of humanity and for the peace of the demon race.

Luo Yifei and Shen Lixi were filled with gratitude and respect after hearing Zhang's words. They knew that this mission would be even more difficult and dangerous, but they also believed that as long as they were united, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Luo Yifei, Shen Lixi, Nan Tian, ​​and Su An, carrying Captain Zhang's blessings and expectations, embarked on their journey to the Illusionary Continent. They knew the road ahead was long, but they were prepared to face any challenge.

Their goal for this trip was clear: to go to 'Azure Phoenix Valley' and find Senior Azure Phoenix.

Azure Phoenix Valley, located deep within the northern part of the demon territory of Cai Kingdom in Qingzhou on the Illusionary Continent, is a secluded valley shrouded in mist. Legend has it that a mysterious and powerful Azure Phoenix elder resides here, wielding formidable immortal arts and protecting the peace of this valley.

After enduring countless hardships, Luo Yifei, Shen Lixi, Nan Tian, ​​and Su An finally arrived at the entrance to Qingluan Valley. The valley entrance was shrouded in mist, resembling a fairyland. The four exchanged smiles, knowing that although their journey had been difficult, they had seen hope.
