Chapter 1870: Demon Realm Agreement

"In this way, the news of the Spirit Pool was told to Brother Long and the others by the Holy Maiden. But for Brother Long to be so convinced, you must have your own reasons, right?" Han Li pondered for a moment before asking the Long family ancestor indifferently. (Webnovel)

Hearing Han Li's question, the feathered-garment girl and the disheveled-haired man's expressions stirred, and they couldn't help but look at the Long family ancestor.

"The old man naturally has his own ways to judge the truth of this matter. However, the methods used are not easy to reveal to you fellow Daoists. Fortunately, Fairy Ye's words earlier also confirmed from the side that the Spirit-Washing Pool does indeed exist somewhere in the Demon Realm. In this case, it depends on whether we few people truly dare to take this risk and earn this immense creation. Not to hide it from you few, the old man, the Holy Maiden, and Brother Hui are definitely going on this trip. In addition, there are several Holy Spirit stage existences from the Spirit Realm side who will also set out. And on the Human Race side, the three emperors and other major forces will definitely not let them know about this matter, which is why I sought out you three fellow Daoists. Hehe, actually, I originally intended to only call Fairy Ye and Brother Lin. Fellow Daoist Han's appearance was an unexpected joy. Below, it depends on whether you three fellow Daoists are willing to gamble and go to the Demon Realm once." The Long family ancestor said resolutely.

Han Li and the other two, after hearing this, couldn't help but look at each other, and for a time, no one immediately agreed to anything, their expressions were different.

"I wonder when Brother Long intends to go to the Demon Realm after the demon disaster breaks out. As far as I know, the severity of this demon disaster is far beyond the previous few times. If one is not careful, our Human Race even has the danger of being exterminated. If the timing of our departure is wrong, I am afraid it will be very difficult for our families to preserve themselves in the demon tribulation." The feathered-garment girl, after half a while, sighed and asked.

"The old man naturally considered this long ago. Therefore, the timing for entering the Demon Realm is set for several decades after the demon disaster breaks out. By then, the Human Race should have already survived the most violent stage of the demon disaster and entered a stage of stalemate, where all forces will support each other. Under such circumstances, we will find a suitable opportunity to sneak into the Demon Realm again, and I think there shouldn't be any major problems. Moreover, fellow Daoist Han doesn't say it, but he is a loose cultivator himself, with no worries at all. And the Body Integration stage cultivators of the Ye family and the Lin family shouldn't just be you two fellow Daoists, right?" The Long family ancestor's gaze flickered, and he said calmly.

"Hmph, Old Monster Long, you are well-informed! Fine. If our Lin family doesn't encounter too much danger in the demon tribulation, then Lin will go on this trip with you." The disheveled-haired man was actually the first of the three to give an answer.

Clearly, the attraction of the Spirit-Washing Pool and the Spirit-Purifying Lotus was too great for him, making him unable to say a word of refusal even though his expression was gloomy.

"Since there is a way to conceal our aura, sneaking into the Demon Realm naturally increases the chances of survival by a lot. But even with the most seamless disguise, if we walk around in the Demon Realm for a long time, I am afraid there will be times when we reveal flaws. I don't know how long this trip to the Demon Realm will take. If it is too long, the probability of falling will definitely be extremely great. This little sister is afraid she needs to think carefully before deciding whether to go on this trip. Of course, if the time is not long, I naturally won't let go of such a heaven-sent opportunity." The feathered-garment girl sighed and asked.

"This question of Fairy Ye makes this little girl somewhat embarrassed. As far as I know, the location of the Spirit-Washing Pool and the Spirit-Purifying Lotus is in the center of the Demon Realm. Even if everything goes smoothly, it will take more than ten years to go back and forth. If we encounter trouble and accidents, it is very possible to spend several times longer. And we cannot act just as the demon tribulation breaks out. So, in terms of time, it is actually not very abundant." The yellow-robed girl hesitated for a moment before saying with difficulty.

"Several decades long, this is indeed too long. This concubine is afraid she needs to go back and think carefully; I cannot give you an answer now." The girl's expression was uncertain for a good while before she replied somewhat uncertainly.

"It doesn't matter. Fairy Ye can naturally go back and think carefully. However, the Fairy's Sky Phoenix bloodline possesses the great divine ability of shattering the void, which is a great weapon for the Demon Realm trip. If you don't go, it would be a real pity." The Long family ancestor didn't find the feathered-garment girl's answer strange, but instead said with deep meaning.

"Whether to go or not, this concubine will naturally weigh it carefully." The feathered-garment girl didn't intend to say anything more and replied.

At this moment, the gazes of the Long family ancestor and the others naturally fell on Han Li, who hadn't spoken yet.

"Since there are such treasures in the Demon Realm, Han is a loose cultivator, so naturally I won't hesitate to fight for it. However, in the next few hundred years, I have several other important matters to attend to, all of which are quite time-consuming, so I am not necessarily able to spare the time to go on this trip." Han Li pondered and said something that startled the others with a bitter smile.

"So that's how it is. Let's do this. Fellow Daoist Han can see the situation then. If you have time, then go on this trip. If you really have no time to spare, the old man won't force you. However, fellow Daoists, ugly words first. Whether you go or not, the old man has no opinion, but before the old man and the Holy Maiden go to the Demon Realm, I hope you will keep it a secret. The people who know about this matter are just us few. If there are any rumors outside, don't blame the old man for not showing mercy then. Hmph, Long is not afraid of others coming to compete for the Spirit Pool, but is worried that if the demon race finds out about this matter in advance, it will naturally be several times more difficult to sneak into the Demon Realm safely then." Unlike the feathered-garment girl, the Long family ancestor didn't seem to value whether Han Li went or not too much, and after saying two sentences indifferently, he suddenly said a warning in a cold tone.

Han Li smiled upon hearing this, looking indifferent.

The feathered-garment girl raised her eyebrows, her expression sank, and she replied:

"What does Brother Long take us for? Would we do such a thing that harms others and doesn't benefit ourselves?"

"The old man just said so, and I also believe you are not the kind of people with loose lips. Since everything has been told to the three of you, whether you are truly willing to take this risk and fight for it will be up to you. However, before the demon tribulation breaks out, you must give the old man a definite answer. After all, if you don't agree, the old man will have to look for other suitable fellow Daoists." The Long family ancestor chuckled and said solemnly again.

"This is natural!" This time, the feathered-garment girl agreed immediately.

Han Li also nodded thoughtfully from the side.

Since the matter had been discussed, Han Li and the others naturally didn't linger here any longer. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the three of them left the side hall one after another.

Elder Hui naturally personally sent the three away.

In the blink of an eye, only Holy Maiden Qianqiu and the Long family ancestor remained in the side hall.

The yellow-robed girl's smile disappeared, and her gaze flickered incessantly. The Long family ancestor looked toward the door, also lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking about.

This place suddenly became silent!

After an unknown amount of time, Holy Maiden Qianqiu suddenly said faintly:

"I still don't quite understand why you must win over the Ye family people to join us. Does Brother Long really feel her Sky Phoenix transformation is very important to our Demon Realm trip! To talk about the divine ability of shattering the void, I have already invited another Holy Spirit fellow Daoist, who will absolutely not be inferior to this Fairy Ye. Could it be that Brother Long doesn't quite believe Qianqiu's words?"

"Of course not. I have known the Holy Maiden for more than a year or two; how could I not be at ease? However, we are going to the legendary Demon Realm; having one more fellow Daoist who possesses the ability to shatter the void will naturally increase our chances of survival. Besides, the Ye family's secret techniques and divine abilities are no less mysterious than our Long family's. Bringing this girl along will absolutely be a great help." The Long family ancestor looked at the yellow-robed girl and replied very calmly.

"Even if this Fairy Ye is indeed important, that fellow Daoist Han is only a Body Integration early-stage cultivator. Even if he has some fierce divine abilities, there is no need to bring him along. If Brother Long really feels there is a lack of manpower and it is not easy to find mid-stage fellow Daoists in the Human Race, this little girl can return to the race and contact another clansman with strength to participate in this matter." Holy Maiden Qianqiu was silent for a moment before suddenly sighing and saying.

"Hehe, the Holy Maiden and I have already agreed. The number of people we bring to sneak into the Demon Realm should be the same; the Fairy won't go back on your word, will you! Moreover, fellow Daoist Qianqiu has misjudged this time! Although this Han kid is only an early-stage cultivator of our Human Race who has just advanced to Body Integration not long ago, after my personal testing, his strength is absolutely above Elder Hui's. Even if late-stage existences like the Holy Maiden and I were to make a move, wanting to defeat this person would not be an easy task. Moreover, my rash invitation for him to join this matter is not a rash act. The Dharma Image Golden Body this person has refined should originate from some top-tier demonic cultivation technique of the Ancient Demon Race, and he should be able to manipulate True Demon Qi as well. Bringing this person along might have unexpected uses in the Demon Realm! Of course, if he really doesn't want to join, it is not absolutely necessary; I will naturally find another loose cultivator with strength to participate in this matter." The Long family ancestor sneered and said with full confidence.

"This little girl is, after all, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Race; how could I do such a thing as going back on my word. Since Brother Long already has a plan in mind, then this little girl will say no more. I will leave this demon bead behind first; the method of driving it is something you have already learned long ago. I have already signed an agreement with your noble race on behalf of the Spirit Race, so it is not convenient to stay in your noble land for long. I will set out tomorrow to return to the Spirit Race. Regarding the many matters of cooperation between your Long family and our Spirit Race, I hope you will put more effort into it." Holy Maiden Qianqiu, seeing that the Long family ancestor had other ideas, smiled slightly without caring.

"Holy Maiden, rest assured. Our cooperation is a matter of mutual benefit, so Long will naturally put more effort into it. But for us to meet again, I am afraid it will be after the demon tribulation breaks out." The Long family ancestor nodded, and his wooden face actually managed to squeeze out a trace of a smile.

The yellow-robed girl chuckled and exchanged a few more polite words before also getting up and leaving this place.

At the same time, Han Li had already returned to his residence and was lying on a large bed on a certain floor of the pavilion, his eyes narrowed, pondering something.
