Seeing this, Lu Baiwei hurriedly helped to hold down his hand to prevent him from getting close to Huo Zhiyan's eyes. When she grabbed his palm which was only left with bones, Lu Baiwei's own hands were shaking.

"Don't be afraid, Lao Pan. It's me. It's okay. Just let go. It's okay."

Pan Chengwan was still unconscious, but he seemed to have heard Ye Linglong's voice, and his whole body suddenly relaxed.

Seeing that he didn't move anymore, Ye Linglong quickly lowered his head to look at the leaves covering Huo Zhiyan's eyes. He saw the leaves tremble slightly, but nothing serious happened. Ye Linglong breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Baiwei helped Pan Chengwan aside, while Ye Linglong continued to deal with Huo Zhiyan's eyes.

She gently pulled out the damaged and unusable silk ribbon. This time there was no movement, which showed that the ribbon had long lost its function.

After taking them all out, she reduced the leaves stacked on Huo Zhiyan's eyes, leaving only one.

"It seems that one piece is enough. This leaf is quite useful." Lu Baiwei said.

"It is useful." Ye Linglong said: "After Fifth Senior Sister's reminder, our supplies are much more sufficient now."

After saying that, Ye Linglong lowered his head and continued to treat Huo Zhiyan's injuries. His physical injuries were not as serious as Su Yunxiu's, but his eyes... Ye Linglong sighed heavily.

Soon, after dealing with Huo Zhiyan, he turned to Pan Chengwan.

As the person with the highest cultivation among the nine of them, Pan Chengwan suffered many injuries. The most serious one was not on his palm, but the white bones on his hand were indeed very painful to look at, and even if they healed later, they might still leave old injuries.

Ye Linglong calmed down and continued to treat Pan Chengwan's wound. After a while, a weak voice suddenly came to her ears.

"In fact, my master could have ascended to heaven a long time ago."

Ye Linglong's hand trembled, and he turned to look at Su Yunxiu who had woken up at some point.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for him to wake up at this time with injuries like this, unless he keeps holding on and cannot relax at all.

"But he couldn't find a successor that suited his taste in his demon clan, so he kept suppressing himself from going through the tribulation. He could actually hand it over to other brothers. Even if they didn't make great achievements, they could still keep the demon world stable.

But he was still worried. He said that he had sent out so many Demon King Orders and had not received two back yet. He wanted to wait a while, maybe he could really get the person he wanted. "

Su Yunxiu sniffed.

"I came hundreds of years late with the Demon King's Order. When I was initiated, he didn't blame me at all. He just said that he was very happy that I came because I must have become a very remarkable person before he personally taught me. After all, he had never heard of anyone who jumped into the Nine Netherworlds and Eighteen Abysses and could come back."

Su Yunxiu chuckled and tears flowed all over the floor.

“That’s how our fate began.”

"Later, Huo Zhiyan somehow came to his senses. When I was about to leave Monster King City for training, he entered the gate of Monster King City. He passed by me and smiled, saying that he was here and that from now on, the limelight of Monster King City would belong to him alone."

"I think he's mean, and he thinks I'm too nosy. When you were not around, we didn't get along at all, even though we had experienced life and death together."

"Time has passed in a flash. Master favored the two of us among all his disciples, but he did not favor one over the other. Therefore, his position as the Demon King still has no one to inherit."

"Some people advised him not to be so obsessed with pursuing perfection, some said he was not satisfied with having two talented disciples, and some even suspected that he was unwilling to give up power and leave."

Su Yunxiu raised the corners of his lips and revealed a silent smile.

"Then one day, he told us that we had been arguing non-stop and he didn't want to keep us here anymore. He wouldn't choose anyone and he wanted to send both of us to ascend."

"At that time I knew that he was not dissatisfied with us. He just didn't want us to be restricted by the responsibilities of the Demon King, like he was unable to let go of anything and ended up delaying himself. So he would rather stay behind and send us to a higher and broader world."

"We have agreed that after this Demon Sealing Conference is over, before we go to war with the demons, he will do his best to help us ascend and improve our strength to keep the demons safe."

"But... Huo Zhiyan and I haven't left yet, but he left first. He won't send us to the sky anymore, he won't help us anymore, what should we do? With Huo Zhiyan and I's strength, we definitely can't fly up by ourselves."

"Ancestor Ye, what's the point of our ascension when the Immortal Realm is like this? Are we going to join them and become as cruel and ruthless as them, killing allies and harming our own people?"

When Su Yunxiu reached this point, he was already sobbing and couldn't utter a single word.

Ye Linglong listened to him in silence until here, and she tied a knot around Pan Chengwan's wound.

"The meaning of ascension is not to join them or become them, but to make yourself stronger so that you can control your own destiny before doom comes."

"Is it enough to ascend to heaven? Look at Immortal Lord Pan, he is more than 20,000 years old, what good has he gotten?"

“If 20,000 years is not enough, then 40,000 years, 80,000 years, 100,000 years. As long as a person is alive, he or she will not be bullied forever. As long as the heart is not dead, all the suffering and injustices suffered can be redeemed with one’s own hands!”

Su Yunxiu took a deep breath, and tears flowed out like a river bursting its dam.

"Perhaps you think this time is too long, maybe you think this road is difficult, but how can the road to immortality not be difficult? At first you also thought it was impossible to leave the Nine Netherworlds and Eighteen Abysses, but now you are still fine, and the Nine Netherworlds and Eighteen Abysses were destroyed first.

No one can predict the future, we can only strengthen our determination to move forward.

Ten thousand years is a long time, but also not too long.

My master spent ten thousand years setting up a scheme, and with his own tiny power, he cleared the name of the Qingxuan Sect.

The man behind the scenes spent at least 70,000 years or even longer to set up this scheme, control the Demon Suppression Tower, and create the Qingxuan Sect, which enabled him to achieve his ability to turn the tide today.

No one has come this far easily, if he can do it, why can't we?"

Ye Linglong's voice became firm.

"Although our strength is small, we are numerous. Our lives are also lives, and we will fight for our own path. No one can stop us except ourselves!

I don’t know what you think, but I will follow him to the death!”
