However, based on Zhao Min's current situation, under the care of a Nascent Soul stage demon general, it would not be easy for anything to happen to her. Instead, it was he who would implicate her.
The final "Twin Chan Hearts, Opening Chapter" in the jade slip, besides reminding him that there was a "Heart-Entangling Twin Gu" in his heart, also left behind a hint that only the two of them could understand if they could communicate in the future.
Through all this, Li Yan could not only see Zhao Min's determination, but also her indifference.
Li Yan already knew that Zhao Min did not want to pledge allegiance to the so-called master, but wanted to return to the Desolate Moon Continent with him as soon as possible.
"Under the night sky on the back mountain platform..."
Li Yan repeated in his heart. That was their hometown. Their relatives and friends were all there.
Two days later, outside Mingdu City, a streak of light flew rapidly from the distance.
A few li from the city gate, the streak of light quickly converged, and a figure slowly landed on the ground, revealing its form.
It was Li Yan in a gray robe. At this moment, his aura was only at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment. After coming out, Li Yan still hid his cultivation.
He didn't like to expose his full strength. Even if he showed his Pseudo-Core realm, and his actual combat power was far from it, if he could be more low-key, it was of course a better choice.
Li Yan looked at the tall city wall that had already come into view a few li away, glanced at some of the other streaks of light that had also landed around him, and then looked at the pedestrians on the ground. He felt it was quite strange.
The mortals here, apart from showing a respectful expression when they saw Li Yan land, did not show much curiosity or fear.
"This is a big difference from the Desolate Moon Continent. There, immortals are only legends, and the mortals who know about cultivators are very few."
During his flight just now, Li Yan had already felt a pressure coming from Mingdu City.
This pressure could only be felt by cultivators. The closer one got to Mingdu City, the heavier this pressure became. This was the suppressive pressure of a no-fly restriction.
It was a restriction that hinted that cultivators were not allowed to fly over Mingdu City. When cultivators sensed this, they would all understand and land to walk on their own.
Of course, the no-fly restriction of Mingdu City had a limited effect on powerful cultivators.
If Li Yan himself were to force his way through, he should be able to do it with some effort, but that would only bring him unnecessary trouble.
Under the respectful gazes of those tall and handsome White Demon Clan mortals, Li Yan strode towards the gate of Mingdu City.
At the same time, within his Divine Sense, several strands of Divine Sense had quietly probed towards him. They were released by several other cultivators who had also just landed nearby.
Most of these cultivators were traveling in groups and had landed together.
Among them were those with the head of a fish and the body of a man, a bewitching woman with a long, snow-white tail, and a wolf-like creature with a fierce expression.
In addition, there were three White Demon Clan cultivators, two men and one woman.
Before the several strands of Divine Sense could reach Li Yan's body, Li Yan's expression turned cold. With a cold snort, his aura suddenly erupted.
The moment these Divine Senses touched his body, it was as if they had hit a soft ball, and then they were fiercely bounced back in the direction they came from.
Then, several fierce grunts were heard one after another. The faces of several strange-looking cultivators instantly turned pale.
Even two cultivators with lower cultivation levels had blood constantly seeping from their ears.
Li Yan on this side, however, did not even stop his steps, and continued to walk forward with an expressionless face.
'A few early and mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators also want to probe him!'
Li Yan sneered in his heart. He had already shown great restraint.
Otherwise, with the strength of these people's Divine Senses, Li Yan could have instantly turned them into idiots, or directly shattered their Sea of Consciousness, causing them to perish on the spot.
This was only because he was unfamiliar with the place and people, and could not kill at will.
At the same time, the three White Demon Clan cultivators in the distance were already looking at Li Yan with a strange light in their eyes.
They had not probed Li Yan just now. When the three of them looked at the few strange-looking cultivators again, a trace of ridicule actually appeared on their faces.
The three of them were secretly communicating via voice transmission. "Senior Brothers, that human cultivator should be at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment, right? In an instant, he made several members of the Cangyu Sect and the Snow Moon Wolf Clan suffer a great loss. This strength is quite formidable."
The one who asked was the only female cultivator among the three. The beauty of the White Demon Clan was fully displayed on her. At this moment, she was looking at Li Yan's back with a curious expression.
The three of them, after seeing clearly that Li Yan was a human cultivator, had no intention of probing with their Divine Senses.
Therefore, they could only roughly sense that Li Yan was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but could not specifically judge his realm.
"At least late-stage Foundation Establishment, or even stronger. Looking at his calm and composed appearance, he probably didn't even use his full strength."
A handsome man of about thirty years old beside them smiled and transmitted his voice softly. He was also thinking in his heart that the Cangyu Sect and the Snow Moon Wolf Clan were becoming more and more reckless.
They clearly saw that the other party was a human cultivator, yet they still wanted to probe his background.
Although human cultivators were becoming more and more low-key now, it did not mean that they were all good-tempered. Today, these two clans had run into a tough nut.
Another White Demon Clan man looked at Li Yan, who was walking further and further away. He frowned and then also transmitted his voice, "Senior Brother, now the other races seem to be targeting the Human Race more and more."
"If this continues, if the human cultivators really start fighting with those sects, will the Upper Sect help the Human Race, or will they also target them?"
"This human cultivator just now was too ruthless. He injured several foreign race cultivators in one go. He might be retaliated against by experts brought by the other party later."
The handsome man of about thirty years old sobered up after hearing this and also transmitted to the two, "Junior Brother, Junior Sister, it's best we don't interfere in how the human cultivators treat others. We are just a small sect. These matters will naturally be handled by the Upper Sect. If the 'Sacred Demon Palace' finds out that we are targeting human cultivators, it might bring disaster to the entire sect."
"The reason why the Cangyu Sect and the Snow Moon Wolf Clan are like this is firstly because the 'Sacred Demon Palace' has always been partial to human cultivators. This is reflected in many matters."
"In the laws concerning human cultivators, the restrictions in all aspects are also much more lenient than those for cultivators of other races."
"So, such an unbalanced law has long caused dissatisfaction among the cultivators of other races, not to mention..."
The handsome man paused here, swept his Divine Sense around, and then continued to transmit his voice, "Not to mention that the 'Demon God Hall' over there has always been targeting human cultivators. They will kill them whenever they see them."
"In addition, the 'Demon God Hall' is also secretly offering some conditions. For killing a human cultivator, you can exchange for a lot of scarce cultivation resources on the Black Demon Clan's side."
"This is what makes some other race cultivators even more eager to make a move, and it's inevitable that they will have the idea of killing people to exchange for resources."
"After all, human cultivators rarely appear on the Black Demon Clan's side. If you find a reason to kill a human cultivator here, not only can you get the things on the other party's body, but if you can also capture their soul, you can take it to the Black Demon Clan to exchange for resources..."
At the end of his words, the handsome man, even though he was transmitting his voice, subconsciously lowered his voice to the extreme.
Finally, his tone became extremely serious, not forgetting to remind them, "Remember, Master was originally going to find time to tell you about these things. The purpose is to let you know the stakes and not to act recklessly."
"But if you spread these words around outside and something happens, no one from the sect will admit it. You'll have to clean up your own mess."
"Senior Brother, but how come I heard from Senior Sister Wen that the human cultivators are becoming more and more low-key because many elders in the 'Sacred Demon Palace' have begun to be dissatisfied with the Human Race and have secretly begun to indulge others..."
The White Demon Clan girl asked with confusion. She felt that what her Senior Brother said was not the same as what she knew.
"You shut up! Are the affairs of the 'Sacred Demon Palace' something you can talk nonsense about?"
"Slandering the clan elders, does that bitch Wen Li think she has lived too long? Don't bring disaster to our entire sect."
"When I go back this time, I must tell Master that the few disciples under Second Martial Uncle are becoming more and more outrageous. This is going to bring a monstrous disaster to the sect!"
The handsome man suddenly interrupted the girl's voice transmission with a fierce glint in his eyes. The tone of his voice transmission became even more severe, and he was already scolding her harshly.
His sudden anger startled the girl and the other male cultivator. They had rarely seen their Senior Brother so angry.
For a moment, tears actually welled up in the White Demon Clan girl's eyes. Her Senior Brother had always been very fond of her. She had only been repeating what Senior Sister Wen had said.
The handsome man took a deep breath.
"You must know the principle of disaster coming from the mouth. The words I said just now, logically, should not have been told to you."
"But Master was afraid that you would cause trouble, so he had me find an opportunity to point it out to you. I didn't expect that you would dare to gossip with the disciples under Second Martial Uncle in private."
"If you want to keep your lives, talk less in the future. If anything happens, report it to Master immediately. Do you understand!"
Although the handsome man's tone had softened, it was still very solemn.
"But... Senior Brother, if a human cultivator has a conflict with us, do we need to back down?"
The other male cultivator thought for a moment and asked unwillingly.
"Foolish. I told you not to discuss the affairs of the 'Sacred Demon Palace,' not about the human cultivators. If they have a conflict with us, do what you have to do."
"I just said not to deliberately look for trouble with human cultivators. It's enough to be able to do that."
"Senior Brother, you are the disciple Master trusts the most. Do you know why, among all the foreign race cultivators, we have to treat human cultivators somewhat specially? We are the true masters of this continent."
Seeing that her Senior Brother's tone was no longer severe, the White Demon Clan girl couldn't help but ask. She was just unconvinced in her heart. Why did the Upper Sect have to make even the White Demon Clan cultivators be polite to human cultivators?
Seeing that his junior brother and sister were no longer discussing the affairs of the "Sacred Demon Palace," the handsome man also breathed a sigh of relief, but he still decided that he would report everything to his Master when he returned to the sect this time.
After hearing what his junior brother and sister said, he also shook his head.
"How would I know? I only know that this is a decree issued by the 'Sacred Demon Palace' a long time ago..."
"Alright, don't talk about this anymore..."
The handsome man said a sentence, and quickly thought of what his junior sister had said before. This might lead back to the previous topic.
He had actually heard some similar rumors about human cultivators outside as well. The rumors also stated that "'The Sacred Demon Palace's' attitude towards the Human Race is becoming more and more unclear."
"The inexplicable law that gave priority to the Human Race in the past is also gradually losing its effect..."
So, he couldn't continue talking. This would again involve the current attitude of the "Sacred Demon Palace"!
Just as the three of them were walking and talking via voice transmission, the few cultivators from the Cangyu Sect and the Snow Moon Wolf Clan behind them also slowly recovered from their shock and dizziness.
It was just that the cultivators of these two clans did not greet each other, but after glancing at each other, they both placed their cold gazes on the back that was about to disappear.
How they reacted, Li Yan in front had been secretly on guard. He would not lose his caution just because the other party's strength was not good.
He had just arrived here. The more careful he was, the better. But this did not need to be shown on his face.
If he had let the other party's Divine Sense scan him at will before, then Li Yan knew that there would be endless trouble to follow.
