"Do you know her?"
Lu Xin sized up the female demon; her cultivation was a minor level higher than his, possessing Late Stage Void Refinement cultivation.
Furthermore, he could sense a faint, scorching intent flowing within her, seemingly similar to his True Yang Qi.
"Her background isn't small; she's one of the ancient demon clans, the Holy Maiden of the Nine-Yang Sky Fox clan, named Tu Shan Danyu."
"Her strength is formidable, ranking thirty-ninth on the Earth Demon List, but that was many years ago; her current strength is estimated to be in the top ten."
This time, Zhou Meiren used voice transmission to tell him.
Lu Xin received a lot of information at once; instead of resolving his questions, they only increased, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, explain in detail, what is the Earth Demon List?"
At this moment, those Transformation Stage great demons were already paying respects to that Holy Maiden.
Zhou Meiren watched expressionlessly while transmitting his voice to him:
"Just as the Central Continent refers to the Void Refinement realm as Saint Kings, the demon race refers to the Void Refinement realm as Earth Demons, above which are Sky Demons and Saint Demons."
"And the Earth Demon List is a ranking list that selects the strongest hundred Earth Demons from all Earth Demons, assessing and ranking them based on their overall strength."
"I see."
Lu Xin understood; this demoness named Tu Shan Danyu ranked thirty-ninth on the Hundred Demon List, indicating she was very strong.
However, it also made him realize that there were truly many demons in the Void Refinement realm.
The Hundred Demon List alone included a hundred, and who knows how many hadn't made it onto the list.
He remembered when he was preparing to enter the Underground Labyrinth, he had heard Li Youlan say it.
When she was alive, the entire Central Continent only had a hundred or so Void Refinement Saint Kings.
But upon closer thought, it made sense; if you didn't count the demons living in the sea, the demons lived together in one place.
So, it was easy to count them.
Humans, on the other hand, lived more scattered lives.
The entire Southern Domain, Central Continent, Eastern Sea, and Northern Snow Plains combined likely had far more than a hundred who reached the Void Refinement realm.
"Here comes another one."
Just as Lu Xin was pondering, Zhou Meiren reminded him again via voice transmission.
Looking over, he saw a streak of silver light cutting through the clouds in the sky, "Haha, I heard there's an ancient secret realm opening here, how could I, Long Tianxu, be absent!"
The newcomer was a two-legged flying dragon with silver wings on its back; he circled twice in the air and transformed into a middle-aged man amidst loud laughter.
"Long Tianxu, Young Master of the Silverwing Flying Dragon clan, Late Stage Void Refinement realm, ranked thirty-third on the Earth Demon List. Characteristic: being a dragon, in addition to a powerful physical body, his speed is also as fast as lightning."
Zhou Meiren, like a walking encyclopedia, proactively introduced him.
Lu Xin nodded and asked via voice transmission: "Aren't you from the Sky Citadel Domain? How do you know so much about the demon race?"
Zhou Meiren replied: "I've been out here seeking opportunities for a long time, so I naturally understand a lot about the demon race."
Just as the two were chatting, those Transformation Stage great demons hurriedly went up to pay respects, "We have seen Lord Tianxu of the Flying Dragon Upper Clan."
"Were you the ones who reported the emergence of the secret realm?"
A great demon at the peak of the Transformation Stage hurriedly replied: "It was us. Because this place was under our control, and many human experts came, we notified you Upper Clans."
Hearing this, Long Tianxu's eyes swept towards the human side with majesty, and he sneered, "What are you looking at?!"
He suddenly let out a deafening roar.
Instantly, sand and stones flew, and chaotic currents raged.
All the human experts couldn't help but quickly retreat; Lu Xin thought about it and followed suit.
At this moment, the four Void Refinement experts on the human side took action.
The four summoned their spiritual treasures and instantly stopped the gale.
The roar stopped, and Long Tianxu said in surprise: "I didn't expect you humans to have some tricks up your sleeves."
"What do you mean by that?" An old man in the Late Stage of Void Refinement said coldly.
"What do I mean? This place is already our demon race's territory, of course, we're asking you to scram!"
Long Tianxu said domineeringly: "Otherwise..." He licked his lips.
"Then it depends on your abilities!"
The other three Void Refinement experts stepped forward; they had obviously discussed it beforehand, facing more and more demon experts, they had to join forces to resist.
Long Tianxu frowned; these four human Void Refinement cultivators were not weak, two in the Late Stage and two in the Middle Stage; it would take quite some effort to deal with them.
"I say, Long Tianxu, long time no see, how have you become more and more timid?"
Suddenly, a sinister voice rang out.
Everyone looked towards the sound and saw a green-robed man slowly appearing.
"Yin Jiuyou, I didn't expect you to come too." Long Tianxu's face turned ugly when he saw the person, obviously quite wary of him.
"What, can't I come?"
Yin Jiuyou squinted his eyes, glanced at the human side, and suggested: "How about it, want to join forces with me to get rid of these bugs?"
"Go yourself!"
Long Tianxu flicked his sleeves and left the vicinity of the humans, having no intention of attacking again.
Yin Jiuyou didn't care, glanced at the human side again, smiled contemptuously, and didn't attack either, turning to head towards the Nine-Yang Sky Fox Holy Maiden, Tu Shan Danyu.
"Fairy Tu Shan, long time no see," Yin Jiuyou said.
"Scram!" Tu Shan Danyu glanced at him.
Yin Jiuyou smiled, wanting to say something, when suddenly he was forced back by a scorching aura.
"This is!" His expression changed.
On the human side, seeing that the two demons were no longer attacking, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luckily they don't get along, otherwise we would have had to run away first," Zhou Meiren said.
"Is he also on the Earth Demon List?" Lu Xin was very interested in Yin Jiuyou because he smelled a flavor he liked; it must be poisonous.
Zhou Meiren nodded and introduced: "Yin Jiuyou, ranked thirty-sixth on the Earth Demon List, of the Blackwater Mysterious Snake clan."
"Long Tianxu, who ranks thirty-third, is very wary of him, it seems he's very special," Lu Xin stroked his chin.
"Smart," Zhou Meiren said: "The Blackwater Mysterious Snake clan all carry potent poison; if you don't have methods to counter it, ordinary people rarely provoke them."
Lu Xin instantly became interested; this demon was fated to be with him.
But now was not the time to act.
Another day passed in the blink of an eye; the demon race had a few more ordinary Void Refinement experts arrive, but only one from the Earth Demon List came.
According to Zhou Meiren's introduction, it was Fu Shan of the Dark Spirit Demon Bat clan, ranked seventy-second on the Earth Demon List.
With so many Void Refinement experts suddenly arriving on the demon side, the human side couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Fortunately, the demons didn't seem to have any intention of joining forces, each standing in one place, closing their eyes and concentrating.
Only Yin Jiuyou, who had been snubbed, looked at Tu Shan Danyu with sinister eyes from time to time.
What he didn't know was that Lu Xin was also looking at him from time to time.
Another two days passed in the blink of an eye; no more experts from either the human or demon race arrived, but the secret realm was still not opening.
Just as everyone was getting impatient, a wave finally appeared in the sky above the Tiannan Mountains.
With a crack, the void suddenly split open like a lightning bolt, forming a white gap.
As time passed, the gap grew larger and larger, eventually forming a portal.
"The Spirit Moon Ancient Realm is open!"
Someone shouted, but no one moved, obviously not wanting to go in first.
After a while, Tu Shan Danyu took the lead and walked out, directly transforming into a stream of light and entering the portal.
Then Long Tianxu snorted coldly and followed in.
Then more and more Void Refinement experts entered.
"Let's go in too," Zhou Meiren said.
Lu Xin had been paying attention to Yin Jiuyou, and seeing that he hadn't moved, he said:
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you go in first, I have a good friend who hasn't arrived yet, I need to wait a little longer."
