have put her into a state of dormancy. Unless absolutely necessary, I will not activate her for missions for now."Captain Wei directly stated his disposal plan."When I convinced Teacher Wu to join our...After Yun Wuyan returned, he relayed the message to his sect. Lian Ri did the same on her side. Then they both had to deal with inquiries from the elders of the demon clan. For a while, tensions between the two races eased.

The fox clan fully supports Lian Yi's approach because they have already reaped the benefits. Over the past two hundred years, some foxes with limited aptitude have improved their abilities through elixirs and used formations to gather moonlight power for cultivation. One night of cultivation is equivalent to three nights, and over time, there has been a qualitative leap in their progress, which is clearly visible.

The other two tribes near the Fox Tribe are not stupid either. They saw the changes in the Fox Tribe and have maintained good relations with them for nearly a hundred years. Many of them sought out ripples to refine medicinal pills, and they also exchanged the cultivation resources they needed through the Fox Tribe's shops in the human world. So when they heard about the establishment of a trading town, they immediately agreed. This was beneficial to them.

The remaining few diehards, upon learning that Lianyi's actions had been approved by the Demon King, no longer obstructed her. They knew they couldn't go against the bigger powers.

After the secret realm spat out everyone inside, the disciples of various sects returned to their respective bases. Meanwhile, the five-ranked demon cultivators gathered excitedly around Lian Yi, sharing stories about their experiences in the secret realm.

After compiling the news about ripples bringing out demon cultivators, a conclusion was drawn: the secret realm appearing in the demon clan's territory was no coincidence. The resources inside were more suitable for demon cultivators, and there were indigenous inhabitants within the secret realm. Though those monsters hadn't attained sentience, their combat strength was comparable to that of fifth-grade demon cultivators, even surpassing them in some cases.

This time, the cultivators who entered the secret realm were able to retreat safely because they brought enough protective treasures. Of course, some cultivators saw the situation clearly and chose to cooperate with the demon cultivators, reaping some benefits, but there were also casualties, especially those at the Yuan Ying stage, who were almost completely wiped out.

After both sides had finished exchanging greetings with their respective leaders, the cultivator prepared to leave. Lian Yi smiled and led the people from the Four Sects and One Alliance out of the demon clan's territory. Then, she said to Yun Wu:

"Cloud Leader, I hope we meet again at the Trading Town next time."

Once the Four Sects and One Alliance had completely left the demon clan's territory, they finally let go of their anxious hearts. Then, at the fastest speed, they brought back the injured disciples to their sect. This time, they managed to bring back some resources, which was better than nothing; it could be considered a good experience.

Even though Lian Ri was busy with other matters, she didn't forget about Lian Xi Ye. She had the remaining stone from her conversation with Yun Wu that day brought to Lian Xi Ye by Lang Kui, so he would clearly know that he had been abandoned once again and became a pawn of Yun Tian Zong.

Then ripples appeared before Lianxiye on a dark and stormy night, returning the memories of her past life to her.

After Lian Xi Ye digested the memories of her past life, the look in Lian Ri's eyes finally changed. It went from initial anger to ruthlessness, then complexity, and finally turned into ashes. In the end, there was only desolation left in her eyes.

"You're getting revenge on me!"

"Yes!"

"How could you possibly travel back in time I distinctly remember reaching the pinnacle of my cultivation."

Even at dusk, Xie Ye was still unwilling to give up and asked.

"Because my Huantian Fox clan paid the price of extinction, using all our strength to conceal Heaven's Path with the talents of the Huantian Foxes and passing down the memories of the previous life to me, how could I not seek revenge from you!"

Ripple's eyes were cold as ice, staring at Lian Xiye who was rambling on despite his aging appearance.

"You..."

That night, Lianxi only uttered a single word before dejectedly lowering her head.

"Do you know why you couldn't ascend in your past life"

"Why"

This was something that kept Lian Ye up at night, even when he stood at the pinnacle of the cultivation world, he still couldn't sense the opportunity for ascension. In the end, he could only choose to disband his sect, but even then, he didn't last long.

You used me to devastate the demon race, allowing humans to recklessly encroach upon their territory and endlessly exploit their resources. This resulted in the extinction of many spirit plants and demonic beasts, leading to a degradation of cultivation resources.

You think you are a hero of the human race, but quite the opposite, you are a sinner. Because of what you did, the entire cultivation world is unable to ascend. By the time your army was disbanded, the cultivation world had entered the era of decline. After the last spiritual plant disappears, no one will be able to cultivate anymore. Do you say whether or not you are a sinner

"Pfft," Lian Xi Ye directly spat out a mouthful of blood, muttering to himself:

"Impossible! Impossible! You're lying to me!"

"Hmph, do I need to lie to a good-for-nothing like you Everything in the world exists in harmony, each playing its part. But you have disrupted that balance, monopolizing everything for yourself. Such actions always come with consequences!"

The ripples continue to stab Lianxi Yexin's heart.

Even on this starless night, he coughed up another mouthful of fresh blood. His eyes were already somewhat vacant, but ripples reached out and struck a wave of demonic energy into his body, sustaining his life force.

"Tonight, you must live. See how the cultivation world grows without you. See if it's a human cultivator or a demon cultivator who ascends to the upper realm first. Only then will you know that in your past life, you were a joke, a colossal joke."

Liàn Yī said and then disappeared from the werewolf's territory.

After making sure Lian Xi Ye's aura was gone, the wolf clan leader had the Wolf Chief go see her. He found that she was being forcibly kept alive. He said nothing to the others, just told them to let Lian Xi Ye live.

A year later, at the intersection of the human and demon realms, a large city was built, named after the Trading Town. Then, humans and demons lived in peace for a long time.

This situation lasted for five hundred years. By the time human settlements saw shops run by demon cultivators, it was too late to stop them. They unilaterally shut down the trading town, but in the end, they were the ones who lost their resources. When they wanted to retaliate, the turtle-back demon king of the Demon Clan ascended.

After Gui Di experienced the Thunder Tribulation of Ascension, the phantom of Xuanwu appeared in the sky and could be seen from anywhere in the entire cultivation world. This time, the human race fell behind.

And the one who inherited Gui Di Yao Wang's position was Lian Yi. She had long since cultivated the ninth tail, becoming a veritable Nine-Tailed Illusory Sky Fox. After the human race unilaterally tore up the agreement, she hid the trading town where humans and demons met, and declared that they would wait for the human race to beg the demon race to reopen the trading town.

At that time, even after witnessing the entire process of Gui Di Demon King's ascension to immortality, Xi Ye took his own life. When he died, there was relief on his face because he truly was a joke as Bai Lian Yi had said.

Duo Duo secretly communicated with Spin, saying that Ripples' actions were "heartless and cruel." Spin, always standing by the master's side, said that the master was right. People could use circumstances to their advantage, but they shouldn't become too arrogant and need to recognize their place.

But Doudou said, "Heaven will make those who are to be destroyed go mad first, just like the Soul-Eating Flowers of their kind."

Thus, another hundred years passed. Finally, a cultivator among humans who had glimpsed the heavenly secrets crossed the tribulation of Ascension and ascended to the upper realm. As he ascended, he summoned Ripples with sincerity and proposed that the trade between the human and demon realms be reopened. Only then did Ripples agree, and the trading town reappeared.

Over the next millennium, powerful beings from both the human and demon races ascended one after another. The entire plane gradually advanced in level. After cultivating the next generation of Demon Kings, Lian Yi ascended to a higher realm before her parents, leaving this mission plane behind.e on time.
