Since it was night and also a barren mountain at the border, without finding an inn, Qin Tian and Liu Fei'er found a cave to stay the night.
Xiao Qing and Fei Hong stood guard at the cave entrance for the two of them, tirelessly dedicated.
"Fei'er, how did you beco a Demon Clan princess?"
In the cave, under the flickering flas, Qin Tian looked at Liu Fei'er, especially at her vastly changed deanor, feeling utterly shocked.
He truly did not expect that Liu Fei'er's identity was so noble, and to think, previously Liu Fei'er had been stranded on Earth, subjected to much bullying.
"In my veins flows the blood of the Demon Clan."
Liu Fei'er looked at Qin Tian and said, "The first place I teleported to in the Spiritual Domain was inside the Demon Clan's Royal Palace. The palace guards noticed the traces of my teleportation, and as soon as I landed, they captured ."
"Typically, it's impossible for an ordinary person to teleport into the Demon Clan's Royal Palace, so the Demon Emperor found it strange. After knowing it was a fateful teleportation, he imdiately checked my bloodline, looked at my birth chart, and asked
many questions about myself, finally determining with certainty that I was his daughter."
"In recent years, he has invited several of the best experts from the Demon Clan to help
cultivate, and said my talent is among the top few he has ever seen, so I have been diligently cultivating in the Imperial Palace, and it was only last year that I had the chance to travel and train across the Demon Clan regions."
Listening to Liu Fei'er's experiences felt quite fantastical to Qin Tian. With a faint smile, he said, "It's good that you didn't suffer, but I'm curious, how did you end up at the border between West State and the Demon Clan?"
"I am because of you."
Liu Fei'er's beautiful eyes shimred as she looked at Qin Tian and said, "I am because of you."
"Because of ?"
"Mm."
Liu Fei'er said, "While cultivating in the Demon Clan, I learned about the Demon Clan deploying troops to West State. Later, upon returning to the Royal Palace, I found out that the Tianyuan Dynasty's Martial King rebelled and occupied West State, and our Demon Clan allied with West State to attack the Tianyuan Dynasty."
"After the defeat of the Tianyuan Dynasty's first General, I heard the na of the newly sent General as Qin Tian. So… when I heard your na, although I felt it wasn't you, despite the great likelihood of it being a nasake, I still decided to go to West State to have a look to put my heart at ease."
"But I never expected to run into you as soon as I entered West State..."
Liu Fei'er smiled, looking at Qin Tian, "Tian, do you think we are too fated to et like this in such a vast West State?"
"Haha, that's called a heart with a mutual understanding."
Qin Tian nodded, "That's right, I'm indeed the Great General of the West sent by the Tianyuan Dynasty."
Qin Tian changed the subject, "Fei'er, this ti, why did your Demon Clan ally with the Martial King? Do you know the reason? If that's true… the Emperor of the Tianyuan Dynasty has given
a death order, so I can only fight against your Demon Clan."
Liu Fei'er said, "I don't know the specific situation, but Tian, what I know is that the Demon Clan and the Tianyuan Dynasty have been blood enemies for centuries. I asked about the reason, and it's said that the once powerful Tianyuan Dynasty used to bully the surrounding races and factions, which is why everyone harbors deep hatred."
Qin Tian knew this as well; when the Tianyuan Dynasty was powerful, it was always arrogant. However, even at its peak, when the forces around the Tianyuan Dynasty united to resist, the Tianyuan Dynasty still couldn't swallow all the surrounding forces.
Therefore, since the establishnt of the Tianyuan Dynasty, no emperor has ever been able to unify the Spiritual Domain.
In other words, the Spiritual Domain has never been completely unified by anyone.
"Can you speak on behalf of the Demon Clan now? You need to persuade the Demon Clan to withdraw their troops; don't get involved anymore, otherwise, when the Tianyuan Dynasty's Ice Emperor defeats the Martial King, he will definitely settle the score with the Demon Clan." Qin Tian wanted to use Liu Fei'er's connection to disband the alliance between the Demon Clan and the Martial King.
Of course, he also did it for Liu Fei'er's good.
Unfortunately, Liu Fei'er certainly couldn't make decisions on such military and national matters of the Demon Clan. She said with difficulty, "I don't want the people of the Demon Clan to fight you either, Tian, but currently, it's my father and royal brother who have the final say. They've always hated the Ice Emperor, so I fear I cannot dissuade them."
"If that's the case, then there's nothing I can do about it."
Qin Tian didn't want to make things difficult for Liu Fei'er. Given the enmity between the two parties, the battlefield would decide the outco, but Qin Tian didn't want Liu Fei'er to get involved.
"Fei'er, I will be going to war with the Demon Clan and the Martial King, it can't be helped. Don't worry or overthink it, rest assured, your father and brother shouldn't confront
directly, so for now, we won't kill each other directly."
"I understand."
Liu Fei'er acknowledged these matters and said, "I can't stop it either, and can only let things unfold. I just hope, Tian, that you will take care to protect yourself."
"By the way, Tian, as the Commander of the three armies of the Tianyuan Dynasty, why are you here alone? It's too dangerous here, you should hurry back."
Only then did Liu Fei'er realize that Qin Tian's presence at the border of West State and the Demon Clan was highly unusual. Even if Qin Tian was in disguise, the risk was trendous. If discovered, he surely wouldn't survive.
"I'm here for the treasure of the Demon Clan. Recently, in your Demon Clan territory, has a treasure descended? I heard that both the Demon Clan and the Martial King have dispatched many experts to search and seize it. This treasure must be extraordinary, right?" Qin Tian said.
Liu Fei'er said, "I also heard about the arrival of a treasure. In fact, part of my journey is to confirm whether that Qin Tian is you, and the other part is also for the treasure. As for what the treasure specifically is, no one seems to know yet, but the general location should be within the East Demon Mountain Range. I'm planning to head over tomorrow; Tian, do you want to go?"
Qin Tian nodded without hesitation. With Liu Fei'er with him, he felt more confident.
Although he didn't know Liu Fei'er's cultivation level, it was definitely not weak, and with her status as the Demon Clan Princess, traveling to the East Demon Mountain Range would surely be smooth sailing.
It was late at night; the two talked until the early morning and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next day, the four of them set off together, with Fei Hong and Xiao Qing showing great respect to Qin Tian.
The East Demon Mountain is right at the border between the Demon Clan and West State, marking the boundary between the two areas. Strictly speaking, there's always been a dispute about whether this mountain range belongs to the Demon Clan or the Tianyuan Dynasty.
This is precisely why experts on both sides, the Demon Clan and the Martial King, have the opportunity to gather at this place.
Around 3 PM, the four of them arrived a few kiloters from the foot of the East Demon Mountain Range.
By this ti, Qin Tian was already in disguise, following behind Liu Fei'er, pretending to be Liu Fei'er's bodyguard, journeying deeper into the East Demon Mountain Range.
Along the way, they encountered people from various factions.
In fact, both sides of the East Demon Mountain Range are guarded by soldiers. The Demon Clan side has its soldiers blocking all routes leading into the mountains, while the West State side has West State soldiers preventing outsiders from going up the mountain.
The purpose of this is naturally to ensure that the treasure is kept between the Demon Clan and West State's two major forces and does not leak out.
