The Life Essence Milk was also left behind by the Immortal World's Alchemy Grandmaster, Mao Zhen, but there was more than one drop. However, Xiao Lingyu wouldn't let the Illusory Spirit Clan take advantage of such a precious item.
Regardless of whether or not Ling 'er had devoured millions of Illusory Spirit Clan disciples, even if it was true, the Illusory Spirit Clan wouldn't have suffered great losses. Firstly, the Illusory Spirit Clan's population wasn't small to begin with. Secondly, it was impossible for Ling' er to devour Emperor-level Illusory Spirit Clan experts.
In fact, the number of Illusory Spirit Clan disciples Xiao Lingyu's group had killed was no less than ten million. Xiao Lingyu's group had caused even greater losses to the Illusory Spirit Clan, but the Illusory Spirit Clan's Patriarch, Huan Pei, probably didn't have the guts to pursue this matter.
As for the Spirit Clan experts that Xiao Lingyu's group had killed, they had died in vain.
The cultivation world was like this. Only the stronger side had the right to speak, and only then could they gain the upper hand.
If it weren't for the fact that they were in the Demon World, and Xiao Lingyu didn't want to have a bad relationship with the Demon Race, he probably wouldn't have even taken out the drop of Life Essence Milk. Instead, he would have continued to pressure the Spirit Clan to hand over Ling 'er obediently.
The Spirit Clan had also realized the severity of the problem and understood which side was the weaker side. Therefore, they could only give in or admit defeat, because the Demon Race would most likely not support them.
It wasn't that the Demon Race didn't want to support the Spirit Clan, but the current situation was special. It wasn't just Xiao Lingyu's group that had come to the Demon World, but other Supremacy-Level experts from both the Immortal World and the Demon World had also come. In order to deal with Xiao Lingyu's group, the Demon Race would have to go all out. If the Supremacy-Level experts from both the Immortal World and the Demon World joined in at this juncture, the Demon Race would be in great danger.
The Dragon Emperor's intention was clear. He wanted to rope in Xiao Lingyu's group, and didn't want the Immortal World and the Demon World's human experts to unite. The Demon World had no other choice but to rope in Xiao Lingyu's group. Therefore, the Dragon Emperor's attitude of "peace" to the Illusory Spirit Clan.
Huan Pei wasn't a brainless person, and he wasn't truly unafraid of death. After the other Spirit Races had lost their courage, the Illusory Spirit Race had no other choice.
After pondering for a while, Huan Pei said, "The divine-grade Life Essence Milk is indeed very useful to the Illusory Spirit Clan. Since you're so sincere, please take the Ling 'er with you!"
Although the words were beautiful, everyone knew what was going on. Of course, no one would go and say it too clearly.
Then, Huan Pei invited Xiao Lingyu and the others to follow Yin Xiang to the Illusory Spirit Race's forbidden land, the Spirit Transformation Pool.
The Spirit Dissolving Pool was very important to the Illusory Spirit Clan. Firstly, it could automatically nurture Illusory Spirit Clan members with excellent aptitudes. Secondly, it could allow Illusory Spirit Clan members who were born elsewhere to cleanse the impurities in their bodies.
After the Illusory Spirit Clan members entered the Spirit Transformation Pool to cleanse their bodies, they would leave behind a lot of impurities. Ling 'er's cultivation would be sealed, and she would have to clean the impurities in the Spirit Transformation Pool.
Since the Spirit Transformation Pool was so important to the Illusory Spirit Clan, the Illusory Spirit Clan would naturally guard it very carefully. Even the Illusory Spirit Emperor Realm experts couldn't enter the Spirit Transformation Pool at will without the Clan Leader's permission.
The Spirit Transformation Pool was completely surrounded by a large-scale illusory formation. This illusory formation had been set up by the Illusory Spirit Clan's experts in ancient times. In the current Three Realms, no one could ignore this illusory formation.
Without the guidance of the Illusory Spirit Clan's Clan Leader or Elder, no one could pass through the illusory formation and enter the Spirit Transformation Pool.
Under Huan Pei's lead, everyone quickly arrived outside the illusory formation that enveloped the Spirit Transformation Pool. They couldn't see anything except rolling fog.
"Everyone, please wait outside for a moment. I'll go and invite Miss Ling 'er out."
The Spirit Transformation Pool was a forbidden area of the Illusory Spirit Clan. Even their own clan members weren't allowed to enter as they pleased. Naturally, cultivators from other clans weren't allowed to enter as well. After Huan Pei finished speaking, he plunged into the fog without waiting for Xiao Lingyu and the others to reply.
Xiao Lingyu didn't follow him because he had also sensed that this illusory formation wasn't simple. If he entered, it was very likely that he would be trapped inside forever. The reason Huan Pei hadn't specifically warned them was probably because he wanted them to follow him inside.
In any case, there were countless Illusory Spirit Clan members and Spirit Clan experts outside. Huan Pei wouldn't dare to play any tricks.
Xiao Lingyu and the others didn't have to wait for too long. Soon, Huan Pei brought Ling 'er out of the illusory formation. However, Huan Pei's expression was extremely ugly.
Ling 'er hadn't changed much. She was still as beautiful as ever and exuded an ethereal aura. Her beauty was indescribable because her body constantly alternated between reality and illusion. She gave off an elusive feeling. Looking at Ling' er was like looking at a person from a dream. Therefore, her beauty was even more alluring.
When she saw Xiao Lingyu and Anya, Ling 'er's originally expressionless face finally broke into an uncontrollable smile. Even Xiao Lingyu and Anya rarely saw Ling' er smile.
Ling 'er really wanted to run over and hug Xiao Lingyu and Anya. However, she was still trapped and couldn't move.
"Clan Leader Huan Pei, please release her from the shackles," Xiao Lingyu calmed down and said calmly.
"Hmph! She swallowed half of the water in our Spirit Transformation Pond. How are we going to settle this debt? "Huan Pei asked with a furious look on his face.
The Spirit Pool was extremely important to the Illusory Spirit Clan. It wasn't easy to produce the water in it. Now that half of it was gone, Huan Pei was naturally enraged.
When the experts from various clans heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
"She only swallowed half of it, not all of it. No matter what, your clan is still a big clan in the Demon Realm. How can you be so calculative?"
As Anya spoke, she took a step forward. Although it was only one step, she was able to reach Ling 'er's side and protect Ling' er.
"The past can be written off with a drop of Life Essence Milk. However, the water from the Spirit Pool is the foundation of our clan in the Demon Realm. It is also the source of our clan's experts. If you don't give us an explanation … our clan will not let this matter rest!" Huan Pei said agitatedly.
While Huan Pei was speaking, Anya had already tried to release Ling 'er from the shackles, but to no avail. The shackles on Ling' er's body were too strange and special. They couldn't be removed just because they were strong or powerful. They also needed a corresponding technique.
Xiao Lingyu also scanned Ling 'er's body with her mind. She couldn't help but frown. After a moment of silence, she said, "I'll give you another drop of Life Essence Milk."
"No. This matter concerns the survival of our clan. How can a drop of Life Essence Milk solve it?"
Huan Pei shook his head resolutely, and then he said, "If you intend to end this matter so easily, then don't dream of her regaining her freedom. To tell you the truth, besides me, no one else in the three dimensions can lift the shackles on her!"
"Haha."
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "At most, we won't release her from the shackles. She won't be able to regain her freedom, but we can destroy the Illusory Spirit Clan. If you don't believe me, we can try!"
The originally relaxed atmosphere actually became tense again.
Therefore, the other Spirit Tribe experts began to persuade him to stay. They really didn't want to fight so many Spirit Tribe experts head-on. They couldn't win. Moreover, the loss of the Spirit Pool water had nothing to do with the other Spirit Tribe experts.
Although the Spirit Clan was united, they had to consider the time. When the external pressure was too great, they had to consider their own interests.
"If you can agree to another condition of the Spirit Clan, I won't pursue this matter any further," Huan Pei said after some thought.
"Tell me what the condition is first," Xiao Lingyu said noncommittally.
"You have to allow the experts of the Spirit Clan to enter the Tenshi's treasury."
Huan Pei seemed to have thought carefully before he proposed this condition. In fact, one of the Spirit Clan experts had asked him to say this through voice transmission.
"Haha, I don't have any opinion on who can enter the Tenshi's treasury. Now that the Monster Clan is in charge of this matter, I can't make the decision," Xiao Lingyu said with a smile and looked at Demon Venerable Yin Xiang.
Xiao Lingyu didn't know that the Monster Clan had always kept the Tenshi's treasury a secret. They didn't intend to involve the Spirit Clan. After all, the Spirit Clan didn't have any Venerables. If the Spirit Clan experts were to enter, they would only cause trouble for the Monster Clan.
However, it was impossible to completely hide this matter from the Spirit Clan. After all, many Monster Clan experts had good relations with the Spirit Clan. They would definitely secretly inform the Spirit Clan.
Originally, there weren't many Spirit Clan experts who knew about the Tenshi's treasury. However, Huan Pei's request was tantamount to announcing this matter to the entire Spirit Clan. Naturally, the other Spirit Clan experts' expressions became complicated.
"Brother Xiao, what do you think of this matter?" Yin Xiang asked through voice transmission.
"The Tenshi's treasury shouldn't be a place where just anyone can enter. Since they want to try their luck, let them go," Xiao Lingyu replied without hesitation. At this time, he didn't want to push the Spirit Clan too far. He definitely didn't want Ling 'er to be imprisoned like this.
"But we Demonic Beasts have always been allies with the Spirit Race. If they follow us, we Demonic Beasts will have to take care of them. This will definitely affect our performance," Yin Xiang said, seemingly in a difficult position.
"Even if we reject their request now, if they all go to the Monster Clan and make the same request again, I'm afraid the Monster Clan won't be able to reject it," Xiao Lingyu replied nonchalantly.
"Brother Xiao, you're quite clear on this matter."
Yin Xiang smiled bitterly in response to Xiao Lingyu. Then, he said to Huan Pei and the other Spirit Clan experts, "This matter still needs to be decided by the Dragon Emperor and the other Monster Emperors. However, I will do my best to mediate this matter. After all, the Monster Clan and the Spirit Clan have been allies for many years and are as close as brothers. If there are benefits to be gained, I'm sure the Monster Emperors will also agree."
"We will also say a few words on behalf of the Spirit Clan," Xiao Lingyu added.
When Huan Pei saw the other Spirit Race experts nodding their heads, he didn't say anything else. He immediately shot a beam of light at Ling 'er.
Xiao Lingyu and Anya subconsciously tried to block the ray of light. However, the ray of light easily penetrated Xiao Lingyu and Anya's defenses and sank into Ling 'er's forehead. In the end, it spread throughout Ling' er's body and gradually disappeared.
