"Ah? Then why didn't you remind Chen Er earlier?" Qing Feng glared at him discontentedly.

Zhao Tianhe's slightly aged face showed a wry smile as he said, "With the talent and cultivation of young friend Chen Yi, even if we reminded him, he would still not change his decision."

"But we can't just watch him go to his death, can we?"

"Of course not!"

"Senior brother has already decided to set off immediately, investigating all the way down Taizhou Mountain to look into the people of the 'Pure Land of Bliss.' If necessary, we will step in to assist young friend Chen Yi once."

"That's more like it," Qing Feng said, lifting his chin, "I really hope Chen Er and Xiao Lan, such generous prodigies are rare to see."

"This poor Taoist also quite likes it..."

Chen Yi withdrew from the "Xunwang Order," tucked it into his Sumeru Bag, and finally checked the elixirs and arrays inside again before rising to push open the wooden door of the private room and looking at the serene Chunhe Garden.

In early spring, the climate of Kyoto Prefecture is much more comfortable.

Though not as humid as Jiangnan Prefecture, the occasional drizzle would fill Kyoto Prefecture with floral fragrance.

This is even more noticeable in Chunhe Garden.

Under the enveloping Sword Intent, Chen Yi listened intently for a moment, his eyes involuntarily looking toward another courtyard.

There was the backyard where Zhou Wanyi resided, and faintly one could hear her low chanting of Buddhist scriptures and blessings in the small Buddhist hall, like she was praying for someone.

The small wooden sword previously given to Chen Yuan was now hanging from the Buddha beads in Zhou Wanyi's hand, appearing like a bright firefly in the dark in Chen Yi's perception.

He stood quietly for a moment.

After taking another glance in the direction of Duke Jingye Mansion, Chen Yi stepped out, expressionless.

A vague, dark green ghostly light flashed and disappeared, and the Divine Will of Inch and Mile flickered around him for an instant before vanishing.

Together with it, his figure disappeared as well.

What Chen Yi didn't know was that in several private rooms inside Chunhe Garden, two shadows stood silently by the windows, watching him quietly.

"Brother Yi leaves without a word again, when he returns, see if I don't... please come back safely, Brother Yi..."

"Senior Brother Chen Yi..."

The voices were almost inaudible, only the faint silhouettes of two graceful figures were visible turning around at the windows.

...

Xiao Lan was an extremely cautious half-demon.

Or rather, living deep in the Ten Thousand Mountains, surrounded by palaces of Great Demon Kings, Demon Kings, and Demon Generals, she couldn't afford not to be cautious.

Not to mention that in the palace she lived in, the Fengyue Demon Emperor would occasionally show up to check and force her to improve her cultivation of demon energy in the name of examination.

Therefore, there weren't many people she could trust in the Demon Court.

Xiao Lan cautiously put away the "Xunwang Order," stored it in a Storage Magic Device, then put it into another Storage Magic Device, and finally sealed it within a Taoist Formation box, keeping it close to her body.

This had almost become her instinct.

But putting away the "Xunwang Order" was only the first step, the second was to carefully use demon energy to inspect the secretive array in her room.

Only after confirming everything was as usual, with no signs of any demon intrusion, did Xiao Lan breathe a sigh of relief.

After carefully recalling Chen Yi's requests, she got up and walked towards the small library deep in the palace.

Originally, there were no books in the Demon Court, only Jade Scrolls that had been passed down from the Dark Years to the present day.

Later, after the demons were driven outside Beixiong Pass by the Human Race, the reigning Demon Emperor at the time summoned some intelligent Fox Demons to specialize in printing books to prevent the demon heritage from being severed.

Although these books represent only one percent of the time when demons roamed freely during the Dark Years, they still contain ancient secret techniques passed down from Demon Kings of distant eras.

Such as the secret techniques to purify the demon bloodline and the methods to create unique bloodlines, all of which are very ancient legacies.

However, in the palace where Xiao Lan resided, there aren't many secret techniques stored, mainly books introducing internal affairs of the Demon Court, akin to the records kept by historians in the southern Wei Dynasty, which are quite simple to understand.

These books are not even considered leisure reading for the demon clan, which adheres to the law of the jungle, and serve merely to remind them of some historical facts.

Events like Fengyue Demon Emperor's ascension to the throne and the southern campaign are all clearly recorded.

Upon arriving at the Book Collection Hall, Xiao Lan cautiously listened for any sounds outside while taking scrolls from the shelves.

"Illustrated Atlas of the Ten Thousand Mountains," "Demon Bloodline Distribution Atlas," "Seventeen Branches of Wolf Demon Heritage," etc.

However, since these scrolls were mostly compiled before Fengyue Demon Emperor's ascension, their contents do not fully align with current times.

"Can't concern with so much... this should be enough..."

Xiao Lan glanced briefly at them, then stored all the scrolls into her Sumeru Bag.

She knew that if she wanted to find current details of the Ten Thousand Mountains, she would have to risk venturing out.

Once detected by the guarding Demon Kings outside or discovered by her mother, no explanation would suffice.

As for the Demon King whom Chen Yi sought, one that could freely enter and exit the Ten Thousand Mountains, without a second thought, Xiao Lan wrote down the name "Emperor Tiger" and its current location — in the secret realm not far from Beixiong Pass!

With her wit, it wasn't hard to guess Chen Yi's intentions.

If she could use Chen Yi to eliminate her future fiance, appointed by Fengyue Demon Emperor, her situation would be much better even if she couldn't leave the Demon Court.

As for the final Demon Blood Core...

Xiao Lan's lips curled up involuntarily; her mother had prepared for her not just one Blood Core of a Great Demon King to accelerate her realm's improvement.

In terms of Demon Blood Cores, that was something she was not lacking.
