Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

Upon hearing this, Dan Ying's eyes flickered, and she didn't reply.

It seems that Ironclad truly did not know that when Jade Belt Butterfly Lord went to fight back then, he carried nothing but the Iris Butterfly Ring.

Her entire fortune was buried in a hidden place.

Even if there are treasures in the ring, they should be the spoils of Jade Belt Butterfly Lord, that is, the wealth of the Demon Lord Mei Xi.

After discussing it, the three demons came up with two strategies.

Firstly, they should diligently cultivate; once their cultivation level is high enough, all problems will be easier to solve. However, after cultivating for so many years, they haven't even reached the peak of the ninth realm, let alone crossed the threshold of the Knowledge Realm.

Secondly, contacting other demon lords for help carries the risk of asking a tiger for its skin, and there's also the fear that it's easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away.

This is simply a different demon taking over the throne in Iris Land.

Compared to powerful demon lords, they still felt that this rogue demon was easier to deal with.

The result was that after discussing it for a long time, it was as if there was no discussion at all.

Dan Ying stood up and said, "Since there's no solution, I'll head back now."

She must make sure her demons hurry up and find the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord's treasure! Once she obtains this resource, she will leave the Iris Land to cultivate in seclusion, break through to the Knowledge Realm, and then return.

In the demon realm, the strong prey on the weak, and strength reigns supreme. She had come to understand this. As long as she was strong enough, she could be just like that female demon, using ruthless methods to seize territory and become king.

Tieyi stood up as well: "Then I won't stay any longer, farewell."

The remaining demon, Bai Liu, sat alone in her cave, her eyes deep and unfathomable, and she sighed softly.

A shadow emerged from the darkness: "Ironclad is brave but reckless, a brute. Dan Ying is cunning and calculating, hence her hesitant actions. Why bother saying so much to them, sir?"

"Once we find the treasure trove of the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord, you will be the next Demon Lord."

"White Willow Demon Lord?" He murmured the title softly, then smiled. "Not bad."

The Shadow Demon said, "My lord is wise and resourceful. After Jade Butterfly Lord had his accident, you protected Fragrant Butterfly and sent out a confidant who was not highly regarded by Jade Butterfly Lord to bewitch Lady Dan Ying. Over the years, Lady Dan Ying has returned empty-handed every time and has taken her anger out on her subordinates. Her power is not what it used to be. My lord, why don't you let her die a worthy death?"

Bai Liu shook her head: "It's not time yet."

Dan Ying's demon core will be temporarily stored inside her body.

He also needs to join forces with Dan Ying to fight against this demon from Iris Land.

Moreover, if he wasn't mistaken, opening the treasure trove would require one more thing: the Iris Butterfly Ring.

The Shadow Demon had no choice but to suppress its restless thoughts.

Changing the subject, she asked, "Did Xiangdie tell you, sir, where Jade Belt Butterfly Lord's treasure is hidden?"

"Wait a little longer, soon a demon will bring the message." Bai Liu leaned back in his chair, his fingers curling as he lightly tapped the armrest.

When a demon came to report that Jade Butterfly Lord had returned, Bai Liu went to see Xiang Die and told her his deduction that the one who returned was most likely an imposter, and that she should be prepared.

Xiangdie, who hadn't made a decision in three hundred years, finally decided at that moment that if it was confirmed that the one who returned was not Jade Belt Butterfly Lord, she would tell Bailiu the location of the treasure.

If it is Jade Belt Butterfly who returns, then there is no need to tell Bai Liu the location of the treasure.

Bai Liu waited in the cave for quite a while before a demon finally came to pay its respects.

Nearly half a month.

The entrance to the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord's cave was bustling with activity, and the entire Iris Land was also very lively.

The lesser demons in the vicinity, upon hearing that the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord, who had been missing for three hundred years, had returned, all brought their precious treasures to pay their respects.

One banquet after another. She didn't have to do anything to amass a fortune.

At this moment, Canling finally understood just how fortunate the saying "fortune favors the bold" truly was.

Eating and drinking every day, and even demons rushing to give you treasures—what an amazing life!
"Judging from your demeanor, Lord Demon Lord, it seems considerably weaker than before..."

After a few rounds of drinks, a demon with a not-so-bright mind suddenly spoke up, and the cave fell silent for a moment.

Ning Fusang raised his gilded silver wine cup, took a sip of wine, and said calmly, "I suffered a minor injury and my cultivation level dropped, but it's nothing serious."

Although the three demons of Iris Land knew she was an imposter, Ning Fusang wanted to make this identity real so that the other demons would believe she was the true Jade Belt Butterfly Lord. Therefore, she naturally had to find an excuse to cover up the difference in their cultivation levels.

Just when she was worried about not having a suitable opportunity to spread the word, a demon took the initiative to solve her problem. Ning Fusang raised the corners of her lips and gave a genuine smile.

Seeing that the demon lord was not angry because of his slip of the tongue and even explained the reason to him, the demon felt very honored and immediately raised his wine cup to toast Ning Fusang.

The other demons were pondering that Jade Belt Butterfly Lord must have been seriously injured in the battle with Demon Lord Meixi, so he found a place to live in seclusion and cultivate until he recovered his cultivation to the tenth realm before returning to Iris Land.

In this light, they could secretly collect some healing medicines to offer as a token of goodwill to Lord Jade Butterfly, so that they could seek his protection if they encountered danger in the future.

Danying Cave.

Si Xi and Shi Ling knelt on the ground, their posture extremely humble, large beads of sweat on their foreheads soaking into the carpet.

Dan Ying's expression turned ferocious: "You two betrayed me and joined that banshee's ranks? Good, no wonder I haven't been able to wait for you to return and report!"

"Madam, please calm down! We have our reasons! Xiao Yao and Si Xi had no intention of betraying you!"

Dan Ying kicked the stool, and the maids in the cave fell silent, their hearts pounding with fear, not daring to make a sound.

She sneered, "Fine, I'll give you a chance to speak. If what you say doesn't satisfy me, you know what will happen to you."

Yu Ling quickly recounted what had happened that day.

Upon hearing this, Dan Ying wished she could kill the two demons in front of her on the spot: "You two lured that female demon back?!"

Stone Ling lowered his head and whispered in defense, "I only saw that she had an iris butterfly ring, so I assumed she was the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord."

Besides, neither he nor Si Xi had ever seen the real Jade Belt Butterfly Lord. Of course, Shi Ling didn't say this aloud.

He tried his best to explain himself: "The situation was urgent at the time. That female demon wanted to kill me and Si Xi. If I hadn't mistaken her identity and called her Jade Belt Butterfly Lord, I'm afraid Si Xi and I would have already lost our lives..."

Lady Dan Ying coldly replied, "I can send you to the Yellow Springs right now!"

Despite saying that, Dan Ying showed no intention of making a move.

Shi Ling and Si Xi are now under the female demon's command, and she still has some reservations. She said these words only to intimidate the two demons.

Dan Ying's smile vanished as she stared at the two demons and asked, "So, the treasure is on her?"

Shi Ling shook his head: "Little demon, you don't know, when Si Xi and I arrived at the place, it was empty, there was nothing there."

Dan Ying sneered, "Of course there's nothing there. I'm afraid the stuff has already gone into her iris ring."

The stone carp dared not reply.

Dan Ying gave the two demons an order: "Find a way to steal the Iris Butterfly Ring and atone for your sins."

“This…” Shi Ling looked troubled.
