As soon as they saw Gui Yuanzi land, the two demon cultivators immediately became alert.
The male cultivator raised the spear in his hand. The spear was pitch black and filled with devil race runes, emitting a faint chill.
He shouted at Gui Yuanzi, “Stop! This is the sacred land of Wan Yao Ridge. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Leave immediately, or don’t blame us if we are impolite!”
Gui Yuanzi remained completely calm, smiled gently, and displayed a respectful attitude.
He took out a cyan colored token from his pocket, which was engraved with the image of a nine-tailed celestial fox. It was a token he had prepared beforehand to show his identity and purpose.
He handed over the token and said slowly, “Daoist brothers, please don’t misunderstand. I am Guiyuanzi, Leader of the Guiyuan Sect. I came today specifically to request an audience with His Majesty the Demon Emperor to discuss important matters.”
“Thank you for telling them, fellow Daoists.”
The male cultivator took the token, examined it carefully for a moment, then handed it to the female cultivator beside him.
The female cultivator inspected the token carefully and, after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, returned it to Guiyuanzi.
The male cultivator’s expression softened slightly, but he remained alert. He said to Gui Yuanzi, “Wait a moment, I’ll go and inform His Majesty the Demon Emperor. You should wait here and don’t enter without permission.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the canyon, his figure quickly disappearing into the thick fog.
Gui Yuanzi nodded and stood at the entrance of the canyon, waiting patiently.
The jade bottle in his hand was gently pressed against his chest, and David’s soul waited quietly, his mind filled with all kinds of thoughts.
He knew that the upcoming meeting was very important, directly related to whether they could obtain the Immortal Spirit Wood.
Therefore, he must remain calm and careful in his words and actions.
A moment later, the male cultivator emerged from the canyon, his expression much more relaxed than before. He said to Gui Yuanzi, “His Majesty the Demon Emperor invites you to come with me.”
Gui Yuanzi felt relieved and immediately said, “Thank you, fellow Daoist.”
After saying that, he hugged the jade bottle tightly and followed the male cultivator into the canyon.
Inside the canyon, thick fog blanketed the area, reducing visibility to less than ten feet. The demonic aura in the air was even more intense, mixed with the faint scent of sandalwood, a unique fragrance found only in the Demon Emperor Palace.
The path beneath our feet twists and turns, with exotic flowers and plants growing on both sides. Some flowers looked delicate and beautiful, while others had strange shapes and gave off different scents.
The male cultivator walked at the front, his steps steady and his steps slow. Occasionally he looked back to make sure Guiyuanzi was not left behind.
Gui Yuanzi followed behind, walking carefully, observing the surrounding environment while walking, and remaining secretly alert.
He could feel that the canyon was full of obstacles, and accidentally touching them could cause danger.
Moreover, the auras of many devil cultivators were hidden in the surrounding area. Although it was very vague, it was clear that the demons guarded this canyon very tightly.
After walking for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, the dense fog in front of us slowly dissipated, and a view suddenly opened up before us.
A vast valley stretched out before us, filled with exotic flowers and rare plants, with gurgling streams and clear water.
Several colorful fish swam in the stream, and the spiritual energy in the air was so rich that it almost condensed into liquid. Just inhaling it can make people feel refreshed and relaxed.
In the distance, a magnificent palace stood in the middle of the valley.
The palace was built with blue jade, and looked simple and solemn.
On the roof of the palace, perched a large statue of a nine-tailed celestial fox.
The statue was lifelike, majestic, and exuded a powerful aura that inspired awe in all who saw it.
That was the Demon Emperor’s Palace, the residence of the Qingqiu Demon Emperor.
The male cultivator, leading Gui Yuanzi, walked step by step towards the Demon Emperor Palace.
The path beneath our feet was paved with blue jade, smooth and warm to the touch, while the exotic flowers and plants on both sides swayed in the wind, emitting an alluring fragrance.
Sometimes, you can see some small and beautiful demon creatures darting among the grass, which is quite adorable.
But Guiyuanzi had no intention of enjoying the beautiful view. He remained alert, gripping the jade bottle tightly in his hand, afraid that something unexpected would happen.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the Demon Emperor Palace.
The gate of the Demon Emperor’s Palace was tall and majestic, carved from black stone, with two huge carvings of nine-tailed heavenly foxes on it.
These patterns looked lively, with majestic eyes, as if guarding the palace.
On both sides of the gate stood four demon cultivators, all of whom were at the first level of the Golden Immortal realm and had powerful auras.
