Encountered an attack on the road!

“I'll be back in about half a month.”

“You all cultivate well at home.”

“If you encounter any urgent matters, just summon me with the Bloodline Summoning Talisman.”

Hu Xiao looked at Luo Shuiyan and the others, saying with a smile.

“Okay, Great King, be careful on your journey.”

Luo Shuiyan nodded gently, her eyes full of Hu Xiao.

After Luo Shuiyan gave a few more instructions, Hu Xiao then took Bai Yun, Si Min, and the child, and together they embarked on the journey to Qingqiu Demon Court.

Because this was their first long journey, and the distance was far, Hu Xiao and the others chose a sixth-tier flying demon beast for this trip.

Along the way, Si Min kept teasing the child.

The laughter of the child and Si Min never stopped.

Bai Yun sat beside Hu Xiao, looking in the direction of Qingqiu Demon Court, her heart filled with a myriad of thoughts.

When she left that year, she knew she would return one day.

It might be out of compulsion, or she might be escorted back by someone.

But she never expected that she would actually return with her husband and child.

Thinking of this, Bai Yun looked up at Hu Xiao, her eyes filled with a smile.

“Great King, this return trip will likely not be smooth.”

“Don't worry, it's fine.” Hu Xiao comforted her with a smile.

Before, it was because he wasn't there.

But now that he was by Bai Yun's side, he certainly wouldn't let her be bullied again.

What if it was a Five Star Demon King? If he was truly provoked, he wouldn't be afraid to fight.

And while Si Min was teasing the child, her attention would occasionally fall on Bai Yun and Hu Xiao.

Looking at the loving and affectionate appearance of the two, her heart was filled with envy.

This journey would also pass through the territories of other Demon Courts.

However, with Hu Xiao's strength as a Demon King, he didn't encounter any trouble.

Seven days later.

Hu Xiao saw a huge mountain range appearing in front of them.

There was also a valley in the middle of this mountain range.

Looking from afar, it seemed as if someone had cut this huge mountain range into two sections with a single sword.

The ground had even cracked open.

Si Min also noticed Hu Xiao's confusion and immediately spoke with a smile.

“Brother-in-law, you've never been here before, have you?”

Hu Xiao shook his head: “No, I used to only focus on cultivating, so how could I run to such a distant place?”

Because ordinary demon beasts generally wouldn't travel across the distance of several Demon Courts.

They didn't have the strength, nor was there any need.

“This is called One Day Stream.” Si Min came to Hu Xiao's side and explained with a smile.

“Legend has it that two powerful beings, one from the demon race and one from the human race, fought here.”

“That powerful human being split this mountain range into two halves with a single sword.”

“Of course, this is just a rumor, whether it's true or false I don't know, after all, the era is too ancient.”

“The reason it's called One Day Stream is because in this valley, when you look up at the sky, you can only see a single line.”

Hu Xiao nodded.

“Not only that.” Bai Yun added with a smile.

“Actually, this is also a stronghold of the demon race.”

“Because of this valley, passage between the Demon Domains on both sides of this mountain range has become much more convenient.”

“So many demon beasts will also conduct transactions here.”

“But there is also a rule here: all demon beasts, and even Demon Kings, must walk through here; flying is not allowed.”

“Otherwise, they will be attacked by the Demon Soldiers here.”

“Then who governs this place?” Hu Xiao asked, looking at the huge valley gradually appearing in their sight.

Si Min said: “The one who commands this place is a Demon King named Niu Le.”

“And he is a subordinate of the Demon Emperor who governs the entire Ten Thousand Mountains of the East for a million li.”

“I heard that no less than ten Demon Kings have died by his hand.”

Bai Yun and Si Min, the two sisters, now acted as Hu Xiao's guides, explaining the rules here to Hu Xiao.

Hearing this, Hu Xiao had an idea.

After returning, he might consider exchanging some unused items here.

Soon, Hu Xiao and the others, riding the demon beast, approached the valley.

Upon approaching, Hu Xiao was shocked by the massive stronghold.

The entire valley and the surrounding mountains were enclosed by towering city walls.

On the city walls, there was a Demon Soldier guarding every two meters.

And the strength of these Demon Soldiers was all above the fourth tier.

A huge, dark city gate was left open in the middle.

At this time, Demon Kings or Great Demons riding flying demon beasts were landing here from all directions.

Soon, Hu Xiao and the others also controlled their demon beast to descend from the sky.

They slowly walked towards the inside of the valley.

Hu Xiao swept his gaze around.

Among the hundreds of people in front, a large portion were above the ninth tier, and there were even several Demon Kings.

And the appearance of Bai Yun and Si Min also made some ninth-tier Great Demons unable to take their eyes off them.

But when Hu Xiao released his Demon King aura, they obediently withdrew their gazes.

At this moment, Hu Xiao saw a middle-aged man sitting on the city gate, wearing black armor and with a pair of ox horns on his head.

When Hu Xiao's gaze fell upon him, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes.

The next moment, the middle-aged man disappeared from his original spot, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of Hu Xiao, his eyes slightly narrowed, carefully scrutinizing Hu Xiao.

“A Demon King?”

“Why have I never seen you before?”

At this moment, Si Min stepped forward, smiling gracefully.

“Niu Le Demon King, this is my brother-in-law, his name you should have heard, Hu Xiao.”

“We came this time to take my brother-in-law, my sister, and her child back to Qingqiu.”

Upon hearing Hu Xiao's name, Niu Le immediately grinned.

“Hu Xiao, I've heard of him!”

“Impressive, to be able to cut down the phantom of a Five Star Demon King in the mid-ninth tier to protect his woman.”

“He's a man, and I like to make friends with spirited people like you.”

“And to break through to Demon King in such a short time, your talent is truly astonishing.”

“You flatter me, it was just luck.” Hu Xiao cupped his fists and said with a smile.

Hu Xiao could feel that Niu Le Demon King's strength was not inferior to Golden Flood Dragon's.

“Hahahahaha.” Niu Le threw his head back and laughed, “Luck is also part of strength.”

“How many demon beasts don't even have this luck.”

“However, since you are going to Qingqiu Demon Court, I won't keep you.”

“When you return, if you have time, you can come and have a good time in the stronghold.”

“Definitely!”

Hu Xiao nodded with a smile.

He could tell that this Niu Le had a straightforward personality, and it wouldn't be bad to make a friend of him.

Moreover, Hu Xiao hadn't expected his reputation to spread so far.

After bidding farewell to Niu Le, the group entered the valley.

After passing through the checkpoint, these people traveled for another hundred li.

Suddenly, a figure appeared, blocking their way.

The person who came was none other than the Golden Flood Dragon they had seen before, and beside him was a middle-aged man whose aura was somewhat similar to Bai Yun and Si Min.

Golden Flood Dragon looked at Hu Xiao with a half-smile, his eyes filled with chilling intent.

“Hu Xiao, we meet again.”

“This time, you are bound to die.”
