The ‘Yan’er the woman in palace attire spoke of was naturally Mo Yan.

When the woman on the recliner heard the words ‘Yan’er, her beautiful eyes were stained with a rare softness.

“In order to let Yan’er avoid the troubles in the Demon Realm I forced him to use the royal secret skill of the Spirit Devourers to escape Guang’ling World, but I didn’t expect him to make a contract with a human.”

The voice of the woman on the recliner was cold and she continued: “Lou Mu Yan living is the biggest stain on Yan’er.”

“But Yan’er and Lou Mu Yan’s contract skill is said to be an Ancient Natal Contract and there’s no way to break it. If Lou Mu Yan dies, we don’t know whether it’ll affect Yan’er.” The woman in palace attire said worriedly.

She discovered that the relationship between Lou Mu Yan and Mo Yan was very close. If Lou Mu Yan died, Mo Yan would never let her big sister go, nor forgive her for the rest of his life.

Of course, she could only remind her of such things in a roundabout manner. Her big sister had long been dissatisfied with Mo Yan’s contract with Lou Mu Yan. If it wasn’t for the sake of the overall situation, her big sister might’ve already attacked Lou Mu Yan.

Her big sister was cold-hearted, but she only cared for her twin sons, although she didn’t reveal it outwardly.

Especially for Mo Yan, her Big Sister had always left a soft spot in her heart for him, otherwise she wouldn’t have deliberately distanced herself from him in order to protect him, and personally planned for Mo Yan to almost die and suffer so much.

Big if her big sister dared to get close to Mo Yan, her Eldest Brother might see the clues. If he found out the secret thing that her big sister secretly did back then, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

As for Mo Yàn1, it wasn’t a blessing to be arranged to join the Fox Clan as the Crown Prince either.

Thinking of Mo Yan brothers, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of desolation and sadness in her heart.

Back then, the Fox King fell in love with her big sister, but her big sister was unwilling to submit, so their eldest brother asked her to imitate her big sister’s smile and temperament to be a substitute.

It would be a lie to say that there had been no complains over the years.

Big Sister plotted to kill her beloved because of Eldest Brother’s plans, toughed her heart to discard one son, and used the other son as a pawn, which was even sadder than her.

At the very least, she had never loved anyone. She would always remember the heart-piercing appearance of agony of her big sister after the death of the Spirit Devourer.

If she really couldn’t control her own destiny, then she would rather be a temporary substitute—at the very least, she felt nothing even when the Fox King was poisoned and about to die.

Sadness and pain flashed across the eyes of the woman on the reclinder and she sighed: “Forget it, if Lou Mu Yan doesn’t participate in sabotaging our plan, then we’ll let her go for now.”

After a while, she restrained the look in her eyes and said sharply: “If she must become an obstacle to our plan, then let’s get rid of her.”

“What about Yan’er?” The woman in the palace attire asked tentatively.

“If Lou Mu Yan’s death will hurt Yan’er, then I will compensate him well in the future. As long as his soul is not destroyed, I can protect him.’ The woman on the recliner said with resolution.

The woman in the palace attire was startled and didn’t agree with her words and ideas inwardly.

With Mo Yan’s temperament maybe he would never forgive her big sister’s actions in his life, let appreciate those compensations.

Her big sister had become more and more arbitrary took peremptory actions, always feeling tht everythingw as under her control, bt in fact…

But she had already reminded what she could, and if the other party didn’t listen, then she wouldn’t be blamed in the future.

Besides, she secretly hoped that them mother and sons wouldn’t get along—being a double was also the biggest stain in her life.

“Alright, I’ll go collect information about Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu now.”

After the woman in palace attire finished speaking, she lef the room, and the woman on the recliner stared at the leaving figure, her eyes growing more and more apathetic, more and more chill.

On the other side, Lou Mu Yan and the others had transformed into the appearance of demons and entered the Demon Realm.

Right now, they didn’t know that part of their whereabouts in the Devil Realm had been exposed, and they had been targeted by the Queen of the Fox Clan, let along that the biggest hidden chess piece in the Devil Realm was the First Holy Maiden who had been abolished on the surface.

“We’ve entered the Demon Realm’s territory, should we go to the Heavenly Roc Clan first?” Su Jin asked, looking out the window.

 Lou Mu Yan shook the cup of wine and said: “I’ve already disclosed part of the information to the Golden Roc King and Chi, and they’ll cooperate with us. We’ve obtained the customs clearance token before, so let’s go to the territory of the Nine-Headed Hydra Clan.”

They resued the Young Lord of the Nine-Headed Hydra Clan and the Fire Qi’lin Clan in the Foreign Battelfield, plus the Nine-Headed Hydra Clan were sworn enemies with the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, so the Demon Kings of these two clans should be easier to persuade than other demon clans.

“Alright!”

When they were in the Heavenly Rox Clan, the Golden Roc King gave them the customs clearance token leading to each demon clan’s territory, so it wasn’t difficult to go to the Nine-Tailed Hydra Clan.

About half a month later, Lou Mu Yan and her party arried at the capital of the Nine-Tailed Hydra Clan.

As soon as they entered the capital, Lou Mu Yan and the others could feel that most of the demon cultivators at Transformation Stage were waling around with a chill aura.

This was rather similar to the habits of serpents.

Lou Mu Yan sent the contact signal to Jiu You half a day ago, but it was as if a stone dropped in the sea, nothing to be heard.

They found an inn to stay at for a night, but there was still no news from Jiu Yu, so they went to the streets together to investigate.

Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow when she saw a rather distinctive and luxurious restaurant ahead of her: “Hm, there’s also a Stream Reflection Restaurant in the royal capital of the Nine-Headed Hydra Clan, and the business seems to be booming.”

Ming Xiu said with a smile: “Let’s go sit in Stream Reflection Restaurant and see if we can find any news.”

“Alright!”

The group entered Stream Reflection Restaurant and both the lobby and private rooms were basically filled with demon cultivators.

They were rather lucky as there was just a table left by demon cultivators who had paid the bill on the third floor lobby, so they sat down there.

After randomly ordering two pots of grade 5 spiritual wine, they pricked up their ears and began to listen to the chatter of the demon cultivators on the upper and lower floors.

“Have you heard that the Young Lord was seriously injured after returning from Qi Yan Mountain and has now fallen into a coma. The King is summoning physicians and achemists to the palace to save him.”

“The Young Lord has even survived the Foreign Battlefield, how did he become injured so badly this time?”

“I heard that there was some abnormality in Qi Yan Mountain. Many Unification Realm powerhouses of our Nine-Tailed Hydra Clan fell there. It’s understandable that Young Lord was injured.’

“Why did I hear that there was a supreme treasure that was born in Qi Yan Mountain that caused the abnormality?”

“What supreme treasure being born? I heard that a very powerful unknown demonic beast appeared there, and demon cultivators below half step to Immortal can’t even get close at all.”

“I was just saying that if there was a supreme treasure born, I’d go try my luck. If it’s some powerful unknown demonic beast, then forget it, I still cherish my little life a lot.”

“Obviously. Young Lord and all the Unification Realm powerhouses were seriously injured for some reason, you’d die if you go.”

“Qi Yan Mountain is very unstable right now. King has basically sealed off the periphery of the entire mountain range, and anyone who trespasses will die.”

When Lou Mu Yan heard their conversation, there was a hint of understanding in her eyes. So it turned out that Jiu You was seriously injured and fell into a coma, so he didn’t reply to her message.

1 This is not our lovely Mo Yan (墨焱), but Mo Yan (墨焰)… his twin brother. They’re literally homophones and in fact, both ‘Yan’ mean flame too lol.
