Before leaving, the half-demon Xiao Lan glanced at Chen Yi and transmitted her voice: "Chen Yi, could we meet in the Water Mirror?"
Before Chen Yi could reply, her figure disappeared along with others.
A moment of silence passed.
Chen Yi looked at the empty mountaintop and the two Xun Wind Pillars piercing the sky in the distance, then vanished within the "Xunwang Heaven."
Recalling the prior invitation from the half-demon, he pondered for a moment, and instead of returning his consciousness to his body, he entered the Deep Blue Water Mirror.
As expected, he saw the figure of the half-demon with a tail waiting there.
"If there's something, just say it directly."
The half-demon Xiao Lan hesitated for a moment, cupped her hands, and said: "I have offended you earlier, and I hope the Little Sword Immortal can forgive me."
Chen Yi waved his hand and spat out dozens of golden words: "You didn't offend me, rather you thought earlier that I couldn't rescue you from the Ten Thousand Mountains, isn't that right?"
"Knowing my cultivation and divine skills have improved, you must feel regret, hence the apology."
Six golden dots floated by.
The half-demon Xiao Lan opened her mouth, nearly having her request stuck in her heart by his words.
She had not expected that the renowned Sword Cultivator of the Tianyuan Continent, the newly appointed Heroic Marquis of the Wei Dynasty, would be this... sharp-tongued?
"I, I do regret a bit, but, but as a Princess, it's not that I can't escape from the Ten Thousand Mountains..."
Seeing her stubbornness, Chen Yi folded his arms, looked at her with a faint smile, and said:
"If it weren't for my help, you would have already returned to the Ten Thousand Mountains by now, wouldn't you?"
Though he didn't know why the half-demon born of the Demon Emperor and the Human Race was so determined to escape the Demon Court, he wasn't keen on helping her.
At least, not before dealing with Zhou Guanwu and the people from the "Extremely Pure Heaven." He couldn't focus on the Northern Demon Court.

Xiao Lan bit her lip, looking at Chen Yi's smiling face, almost clenching her fists to punch him.
This was the first person, besides her mother Fengyue Demon Emperor, to make her so angry since her birth.
"You, what will it take for you to agree to help me?"
"What will it take..."
Chen Yi touched his chin, pondering for a moment. Considering they were both in the "Xunwang Heaven," and recalling that she had provided intel about the Demon Court's movement south, he formed a plan.
"I need detailed information on the Pillar Level Great Demon Kings and the Demon Kings of the Demon Court's Thirty-Six Generals, ideally including their current locations."
Xiao Lan paused, suspiciously asking: "What do you need these for, you don't mean to..."
"If you can provide this, I will consider helping you escape the Ten Thousand Mountains. If not, then let's drop it."
"Think about it carefully..."
With that, Chen Yi withdrew his consciousness from the Water Mirror.
No matter what choice the half-demon Xiao Lan made, he had already set his terms. Whether she agreed depended on her.
Then, Chen Yi's consciousness stirred slightly, spreading out to survey everything around, instantly surrounding Kyoto Prefecture, Dakong Temple, and Kyoto Academy.
"Huh? Why are people from the Yuhua Immortal Sect appearing outside Dakong Temple?"
