The crow chuckled and said: "Indeed, Shaling. The demon realm and the mortal world are not much different; over long periods, even the most violent temperaments can be smoothed by time. If there are demons who do not cultivate, their lives would be exceedingly dull. Thus, everyone seeks a place of joy, transforms into human form, and strives to make the most of this life, which can be considered a form of destiny"

The sparrow, seeing my curiosity, smiled and stretched lazily: "Come back to your senses, or your eyeballs might just fall out. There isn't anything particularly remarkable in Shaling, but if you want to go, feel free to take a look."

The heart beats violently in the chest.

Can it really be seen? I don't believe it. If the creature doesn't speak, the barrier cannot be opened either

The sparrow glanced at the crow and said, "Lift the barrier." The latter pouted, rolled his eyes, and muttered softly, "What's so interesting about that?" Nevertheless, he still lifted the barrier.

I frowned and wiped the bloodstain from the corner of his mouth with force. He bit his lip in pain, and I spoke softly: "Although I am a demon, I understand that the upper realm values a clear mind and a lack of desires. What you just said about repaying blood debts clearly indicates that you have developed a heart demon. If this continues, you will inevitably lose your celestial energy and fall into the realm of Asuras"

Bang bang bang—boom boom boom—

After the self-absorbing lunar day, we journeyed through the flowing sands, Yu'e, and the mountains of Yigao, all of which were barren and sparsely populated. According to ancient records, Shaling was even more desolate, with unproductive land. I expected to see empty villages and the occasional barking of dogs. However, upon arriving at Shaling, there were countless grand buildings and temples with upturned eaves. It was indeed a scene of dazzling brilliance, shining brightly and captivating the eye, with crowds jostling against one another. A path of bluestone slabs extended from the towering city gate, laid out in a grand and ancient manner.

Ah, what a hot-tempered individual!

I ask: "Are you the celestial lord in the heavens?"

He glared at me in a fit of rage, his expression somewhat terrifying, and he growled harshly, "What are you looking at? Get lost!"

Kill... kill him? My face turned pale all of a sudden

The young immortal lord seemed to be like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with fur. He pressed his palm against the ground, struggling desperately, while the binding immortal rope immediately emitted dazzling golden light. The uncle in the black robe, standing on the table, was arrogant and suddenly jumped down, slapping him across the face with a fierce roar: "Look! Look! This little brat actually thinks he can escape! Once he's in my hands, he won't have a chance to escape! Everyone, take a good look, and see how I will kill this little immortal from the upper realm!"

Everyone step back, I cannot help but take two steps forward

I rubbed my eyes vigorously, unable to believe: "Is this Shaling?"

The first time I encountered two large demons looking so tense, it made me feel uneasy. I opened my mouth to ask, "What happened?" Without answering, the sparrow rolled on the ground and transformed into a seven or eight-year-old boy with red lips and white teeth. His expression was solemn as he said, "We are in trouble; this smell is very strange."

... ...

"Ahead is the sand ridge"

Seeing me looking around, the sparrow amusingly remarked, "What a child."

After traveling continuously for several days, we finally arrived at Kong Sang. Kong Sang is the second main mountain of the demon realm. As soon as we entered the territory of Kong Sang, the crow unexpectedly closed its mouth, and with a swift flap of its wings, it quickly formed a transparent barrier.

A sudden chill ran through me, and my fingertips twitched slightly. Unconsciously, I dipped my sleeve into the clear water from the kettle and wiped the mottled blood and stains from his cheek. The young man stiffened all over, his phoenix-like eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at me. His back rose and fell slightly, as if he were enduring something.

A cacophony of gongs and drums reached my ears, "Come and take a look..." From a distance, countless people were gathered there. I stood on my tiptoes but could not hear what they were saying, only the incessant sound of gongs and drums, creating an extraordinary uproar. As if that were not enough, several people kept rushing out from the street, and I had no idea what they were crowding around to see. Waves of gasps erupted from the crowd, the sound overwhelming, almost threatening to lift the rooftops.

I do not know what suffering is

There are many young female demons in Shaling, and coupled with the fact that the demon realm has always been devoid of taboos, the words spoken have become increasingly unrestrained and unbearable. Countless voices blend together, creating a deafening cacophony

He really resembles Qingci; looking at him reminds me of those little demons in the Poxie Palace. However, Qingci is much older than him. If Qingci were five or six years younger, he would probably look like this. The same appearance, yet one is a demon and the other is an immortal; heaven truly knows how to play tricks.

He himself looks like a child, yet he says I am a child, and a drop of cold sweat breaks out on my forehead

The pitiful bound youth, covered in wounds, must have never endured such humiliation. From his cold eyes suddenly emanated a chilling and violent aura: "You demonic creatures, defying heaven and slaying immortals, once my celestial powers are restored, I will make you pay for your blood debts!"

The multitude of demons laughed heartily, completely disregarding him.

The boy bound by the immortal rope still had a cold expression, indifferent to everything around him, as if what others said had nothing to do with him. My palm unconsciously tightened into a fist. Although even the troublemaker, the sparrow, had told me to avoid causing trouble whenever possible, this boy resembled the little demon from my Exorcism Palace. Looking at this face, I could no longer resist pulling out the talisman paper that Su Mushui had given me from my pouch

Little girl, step back, be careful he might bite you

What is the scent? I took a few deep breaths of the air; the climate of Kong Sang Mountain is pleasant, lacking the heavy demonic aura found in other mountain ranges. Everything appears tranquil and serene, occasionally accompanied by the melodious singing of the orioles, scattering crisp notes.

The uncle in the soap coat proudly jumped back onto the table

He was of insufficient stature, appearing to be around twelve or thirteen years old, curled up into a ball, with his back turned to me, struggling desperately. I could only see the binding ropes of the immortal, fluctuating in size, emitting glaring golden rays. He whispered angrily, "Damn it, filthy thing, release this lord at once." His voice, though childish, was cold and sharp like a blade, sounding somewhat familiar.

Tsk tsk, quite handsome indeed

I squeezed forward with the throng of people, claiming a space the size of a bullet

He suddenly turned around, and a pair of slanted phoenix eyes struck directly into my view. Clearly, he was a fair-skinned and handsome young man, but at this moment, his black hair was disheveled, with strands dusted with scattered dirt. His delicate face was marred with bloodstains, black in some places and white in others, making him appear particularly disheveled. The moment our eyes met, I felt as if I had been firmly pinned to the ground.

When I brushed against the corner of his mouth, he suddenly turned his head, leaving behind a cold profile.

"I can't even use a single bit of my celestial skills, yet my bite is quite sharp. Just look at what I've been bitten into!" A robust woman with a strong build extended her wrist, revealing two small bite marks that caught everyone's attention. The people around her burst into laughter: "Ruhua, if you don't provoke him, will he bite you?" The stout woman, with her round face, immediately turned red and said in a gruff voice: "I just want to find a young gentleman. What's so funny about that?" The crowd continued to laugh: "Ruhua, if you don't provoke him, will he bite you?" The stout woman, with her round face, immediately turned red and said in a gruff voice: "I just want to find a young gentleman. What's so funny about that?"

Su Mushui once said that the Asura are a cruel and fierce race in the Three Realms. Despite the ferocity of the great demons like the Zhi Que and the Zeng Zeng, if they encounter an Asura, they would have to tuck their tails and flee for their lives. The thought of them tucking their tails makes me unable to suppress a light laugh, which the tightly bound young man probably thinks is directed at him, and he immediately shoots me a fierce glare.

I squatted on the ground, curiously poking the fairy, who was bound like a zongzi, with my little finger

He did not respond, merely glaring at me coldly, as if his gaze could devour me alive.
