Xue Luoyu was playing the guzheng in the gazebo above the lake when Chu Li walked over and stood in the corner of the gazebo.
Xue Luoyu pressed her hand down and the sound of the guzheng stopped.
She wore an emerald gown and did not cover her face with a veil, revealing her beautiful face. Her bright eyes flickered as she looked at Chu Li. "Why are you back so soon?"
Chu Li replied, "I came back as soon as the matter was settled."
"That's rare." Xue Luoyu chuckled.
A gentle breeze swept over the lake and into the gazebo, ruffling her hair. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Chu Li said, "Heavenly Demons have invaded the lower realm."
Xue Luoyu's expression changed. "They've entered the lower realm?"
Chu Li asked, "Are you surprised?"
"Logically, Heavenly Demons shouldn't enter the lower realm." Xue Luoyu frowned. "There's nothing in the lower realm that they need."
"What do they want?" Chu Li asked.
Xue Luoyu replied, "They want the same as us, spirit herbs, rare treasures, and martial arts secret manuals. To Heavenly Demons, the more martial arts they cultivate, the greater their improvement."
Chu Li raised his eyebrows. "There's nothing to find in the lower realm, so they can only get martial arts secret manuals?"
"It's impossible for them to get martial arts secret manuals too." Xue Luoyu shook her head. "Heavenly Demons don't care about the martial arts of the lower realm. Logically speaking, they're too lazy to go to the lower realm because they think it's a waste of time."
"That's strange." Chu Li frowned. "Could it be that Asura asked them for help?"
"It's highly possible." Xue Luoyu nodded. "The scariest thing about Heavenly Demons is that they can confuse the world. Once they find a flaw, they can easily overturn a city or even a sect or a country."
Chu Li asked, "Is there a way to defend against them?"
"No." Xue Luoyu sighed. "In order to stop them from approaching, everyone in the extraterrestrial battlefield tried to stop them from getting close to the Demon Suppression Town. Otherwise, the Outland would've been in chaos."
"It's hard to stop them in the extraterrestrial battlefield, right?" Chu Li asked.
He had seen traces of Heavenly Demons in the Outland more than once.
"And the Heaven-shaking Tower," Xue Luoyu said. "The Heaven-shaking Tower will sense the infiltration of the Heavenly Demons."
Chu Li nodded slowly.
When he was in the Lower Realm, he could sense the approach of the Asura, so it was not surprising that the Heaven Shaking Tower could sense the infiltration of the Sky Demons.
However, he discovered that many of the Skyfiends were not sensed.
"The Heaven Shaking Tower can sense all Heavenly Demons?" Chu Li asked.
Xue Luoyu frowned and thought for a while. Then she shook her head and said, "For some small things … In a state of disarray, anger is replaced by anger. Haze Huang Rui? Qiao Qu Yu Hou Bei? Trample on the Wu Shan Fei Lian?!
Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
Xue Luoyu said, "The Heaven Shaking Tower senses through the mysteries of heaven, so the Heaven Shaking Tower can't do anything to those Heavenly Demons who can't touch the mysteries of heaven. However, these Heavenly Demons aren't necessarily spies. It's possible that they really want to live in the Realm Beyond Heaven."
Chu Li smiled. "It can't be that you yearn for the prosperity of the Outland, right?"
"That's true." Xue Luoyu nodded with a smile. "It is said that the Heavenly Demon Realm and the Asura Realm are far less bustling than our Human Realm Upon Heavens."
"Does anyone understand them?" Chu Li frowned. "The Heavenly Demons can enter here, but our people can't?"
"It's very difficult." Xue Luoyu sighed. "Unless they cultivate the Heavenly Demonic Power. However, once the Heavenly Demonic Power is cultivated, it's difficult to abolish it. From then on, they'll become Heavenly Demons. Who would dare to do that?"
Chu Li pondered. "Heavenly Demons are no different from humans, right?"
Through his observations these days, he realized that Asuras looked no different from humans, but they were actually not the same species. Asuras had surpassed the scope of humans and were immortal.
On the other hand, Heavenly Demons were real humans who only cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power.
Xue Luoyu said, "Heavenly Demons are indeed humans, but because of the influence of the Heavenly Demonic Power, they can't be regarded as normal humans."
The Heavenly Demonic Power was mysterious and overbearing. Once it was cultivated, it could not be abolished. Any heart technique cultivated would be transformed into Heavenly Demonic Energy, and Heavenly Demonic Energy could also be transformed into any heart technique. However, at the end of the day, it was still the Heavenly Demonic Power.
Therefore, once one cultivated the Heavenly Demonic Power, one would become a Heavenly Demon, and resistance would be futile.
After cultivating the Heavenly Demonic Power, it would affect one's temperament and magnify one's desires. The desire in one's heart would be magnified countless times, and one's bones would give birth to a strong and endless desire. One would constantly think about improving their cultivation level and cultivate desperately.
Heavenly Demons could come to the Outland and hide at will, but humans could not cultivate the Heavenly Demonic Power to impersonate Heavenly Demons. Otherwise, they would directly become Heavenly Demons. This had happened many times in the Outland, and after that, they had given up.
Chu Li said, "If that's the case, these Heavenly Demons are helping Asura, stirring up a bloodbath in the Lower Realm and strengthening Asura's strength. If there's no defensive method, the Lower Realm will really suffer!"
Xue Luoyu frowned and did not say anything.
Even if each hall and sect had a secret skill that could break through Heavenly Demons, it was useless because it was difficult to cultivate. It would be difficult to pass it on to the people of the Lower Realm, and the defensive method would be useless.
If that was the case, the Lower Realm would really be doomed.
Chu Li sighed and said, "Looks like I'll have to kill them myself."
"You're going to fight Heavenly Demons?" Xue Luoyu sighed and said, "Then you have to be careful. Heavenly Demons are unpredictable, and once you get entangled with them, it'll be very troublesome. People around you may suffer at any time, or someone might assassinate you."
Chu Li said, "We can't just let them wreak havoc!"
Xue Luoyu sighed.
Not every problem in the world could be solved. Just like Asura and Heavenly Demons, there was no permanent solution. They could only passively defend and try their best to hold on. Fortunately, it had been a stalemate, and the balance had not been broken.
However, the Lower Realm could not be compared to the Outland. The Enlightened Masters of the Lower Realm could not resist Heavenly Demons at all.
"Will the Outland just stand by and watch?" Chu Li asked with a frown.
Xue Luoyu said, "I'll inform the Elder Society, and a Celestial will descend to help."
Although the Outland had lured Asura to the Lower Realm, they did not completely give up on them. They only let the Lower Realm hold on for a while to disperse the Asura's strength. Once they had a chance, they could chase Asura away.
Chu Li nodded and said, "It's better than nothing. I'll go back first."
"Go." Xue Luoyu nodded.
Chu Li fist saluted and turned to leave the Ninth Princess' Residence.
When he returned to his residence in Drizzle City, he found two women sitting in the main hall, chatting with Xiao Qi.
The two women were dressed in green and looked valiant. One of them was about the same age as Xiao Qi, slightly less beautiful than her, but she was already a rare beauty. The other was a middle-aged beauty with a charming charm.
Xiao Qi stood up and said, "These two are the seniors from the Tai Qing Sect, Master's Junior Hui Ning and Senior Sister Jing Ya."
Chu Li fist saluted and smiled. "It's my honor to have you two seniors here."
The two women stood up and fist saluted.
"Young Master Chu, your name has spread far and wide." The middle-aged beauty, Hui Ning, smiled sweetly. "Nice to meet you."
Chu Li shook his head and smiled.
He looked at Xiao Qi with a puzzled expression.
Hui Ning said, "Since Young Master Chu is back, we won't disturb you. We'll take our leave first."
Xiao Qi said, "Master's Junior and Senior Sister don't have to be so formal. You can stay in the residence."
"We have a place to stay, it's in the south of the city." Hui Ning smiled. "We won't disturb you two."
