On either side of the spatial tunnel, the Great Ascension and Tribulation Transcending cultivators of the Human and Demon races stood in opposition.
Lu Xin glanced at the Demon race on the other side, noticing that although they had very distinctive appearances, like him, they were of normal human size as long as they didn't transform.
At this moment, a Demon race burly man with crimson red eyes came out and said, "I am the Crimson Blood Demon Lord. Who among you is in charge?"
Daoist Xuanji naturally stepped forward, "This old Daoist is. I wonder what your intentions are for inviting us to meet?"
The Crimson Blood Demon Lord coldly said, "That's not important right now. I only want to ask, Tie Kui's aura has disappeared. Was he killed by you?"
The crowd looked at each other, secretly thinking that the Tie Kui he spoke of should be the first demon who came over and was jointly annihilated by them.
Daoist Xuanji shook his head expressionlessly, "What Tie Kui? There was one who wanted to break into our Spirit Realm, but was repelled by us."
The Crimson Blood Demon Lord coldly snorted, "Is that so? Why did I hear that you had already laid an ambush?"
Daoist Xuanji shook his head again, "We just happened to arrive. Let's talk about your plans. Do you want to fight or make peace?"
The Crimson Blood Demon Lord narrowed his eyes slightly, and once again scanned the Human race side, discovering that the number of experts there was much greater than theirs.
Clearly, they were prepared.
Moreover, due to the suddenness of the event, they had not yet formed a consensus on whether to fight or make peace, making it difficult to make a decision.
"What if we fight? What if we make peace?" He threw the question back.
Daoist Xuanji said expressionlessly, "If we fight, we will naturally accompany you to the end. If we make peace, we will each retreat, repair the space, and live in peace."
The Crimson Blood Demon Lord chuckled coldly, "You have a good idea. Originally, the only way for our Demon Realm to reach your Spirit Realm was through the Two Realms Abyss. Now there is another passage. Do you think we will give it up?"
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Human race turned ugly. It seemed that the other party was determined to come over.
"Then we can only fight!" Daoist Xuanji also showed a trace of anger.
"Good, you people of the Spirit Realm have some backbone. Be prepared!" The Crimson Blood Demon Lord was not surprised. The Spirit Realm cultivates spiritual energy, and they have no room for compromise.
After dropping a sentence, all the demons slowly retreated.
The Human race also did not dare to rashly attack and entangle them.
"What do we do now?" Having figured out their intentions, Real Person Mingshan's expression was solemn.
Daoist Xuanji looked towards the spatial rift, tested its strength, and said:
"For now, we can only deal with the situation as it comes. Fortunately, this passage is much narrower than the Two Realms Abyss in the East Sea. It is impossible for the Demon race to come over in large numbers."
"Are you saying that, like the Two Realms Abyss in the East Sea, we should set up formations and send people to be stationed here for a long time?"
"Do you have a better way?"
Everyone shook their heads. This spatial passage has already become a fait accompli. The Demon race will not allow them to repair it, so they have no choice but to do so.
"However, the reason why the Two Realms Abyss has calmed down is because the Spirit Realm inflicted heavy damage on them in the past. If we want this place to calm down, we must go through a battle!"
Daoist Xuanji sighed.
Everyone was silent, leaving people to guard and be vigilant, then slowly retreated.
"Little friend Lu, I'm really sorry. I went to the trouble of inviting you here, but we encountered such a thing." Daoist Xuanji walked with Lu Xin.
Lu Xin smiled and shook his head, "Daoist Priest is being too polite. When the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. If we let them demonize the Spirit Realm, I will have nowhere to stand."
Daoist Xuanji also smiled, and suddenly said, "I wonder if little friend Lu can tell me the truth, what level has your strength reached?"
Lu Xin was stunned, "Why does Daoist Priest ask this?"
Daoist Xuanji's eyes deepened, and he slowly uttered two words, "Confidence."
"Confidence?"
Lu Xin was thoughtful.
Daoist Xuanji continued, "From beginning to end, this old Daoist has not sensed the slightest worry from little friend Lu, as if you regard the Demon race as nothing. I think if you are not confident in your own strength to a certain extent, it would be difficult to achieve little friend's calmness."
As he spoke, he looked at Lu Xin, "I wonder if little friend thinks that this old Daoist's feeling is right or wrong?"
Not surprised, but also surprised, Lu Xin smiled and said, "Daoist Priest's feeling is not bad, but Daoist Priest's Daoist title is Xuanji. I thought you deduced and calculated it, but I didn't expect it to be based on feeling."
He can be considered to have implicitly admitted that his strength is very strong.
Seeing that he had received confirmation, Daoist Xuanji took a deep breath, and then said, "Deduction and calculation are possible, but there are many limitations. To be honest, in the past few days, this old Daoist has calculated a divination for this matter."
"Oh? What was the result?" Lu Xin was a little curious.
Daoist Xuanji stroked his beard, and looked at him with a strange gaze, "The divination image is Tianze Li, an auspicious sign, but it is a sign of good fortune amidst misfortune. There will be temporary difficulties, but in the end, there will be a narrow escape."
Lu Xin looked at his eyes and said speechlessly, "You don't think that this narrow escape in the end is because of me, do you?"
Daoist Xuanji nodded seriously, "Looking around, the biggest variable can only be you."
… …
Time passed in the blink of an eye, and several months passed. Since making their harsh remarks, the Demon race had made no further movements, only sending people to guard near the passage.
On the Spirit Realm side, because the passage was narrow, they were not worried that the Demon race could come over in large numbers, so they did not carry out a full mobilization, but only summoned the Great Ascension and Tribulation Transcending experts from Central Province and nearby regions.
There were a total of eighty-odd people.
Of course, it was not a solution to just waste time with the Demon race like this, so the Spirit Realm side was stepping up preparations for the materials for a super great formation.
Although this great formation cannot repair space, after shielding it, if the Demon race wants to come over, they cannot break through without paying a certain price.
Another period of time passed like this, and the Demon race finally sent a message saying that they wanted to arrange a battle.
Everyone gathered together again.
Daoist Xuanji used his mana to wrap a letter and took it out, saying, "This is the Demon race's challenge, inviting us to a arena battle. What do you think?"
"Where is the venue?" Real Person Mingshan asked the question that everyone was most concerned about. Going to the Demon race's side was definitely not possible, and letting the Demon race come over was also not feasible.
Daoist Xuanji said, "They said they can come to our side."
Everyone frowned. As everyone knows, when the Demon race comes to the Spirit Realm, without the mobilization of demonic energy, their strength will also be greatly reduced, but even so, they are willing to come over to challenge, there must be some conspiracy.
Just then, a sharp scream resounded through the clouds, followed by a burst of vibration.
"Not good!"
Feeling this movement, everyone sat up in shock. They suddenly understood that they had been fooled by the Demon race. This challenge was only to divert their attention.
Their real purpose was to sneak attack, and they quickly headed towards the passage.
Of course, they were not unprepared, and there were more than a dozen people guarding the passage.
However, by the time they appeared, more than a dozen figures had already fled out in a sorry state, and the entire spatial passage had been shrouded in a cloud of black gas.
"What's going on?"
Daoist Xuanji shouted loudly.
One person quickly replied, "That group of demons had treasures that concealed their aura. By the time we reacted, they had already reached the entrance of the passage. If it weren't for the great formation shielding us, I'm afraid we would have been killed."
"Haha, damned Human race, now that the passage has been occupied by our Demon race, let's see how you stop our progress!"
