Chapter 807: Chapter 231: The Emergence Behind the Scenes, an Utterly Unexpected Alliance

The Firefly Demon arrived at Peng Mi’s door and knocked, but there was no response.

She gently pushed the door open, entered the house, and then suddenly smiled slightly, saying to the Golden Canary, "Senior, I need to speak with you."

Soon, a pale Ghost Hand emerged from the void beside the door.

The Ghost Hand patted the Firefly Demon.

Understanding its intent, the Firefly Demon opened the door again and went outside.

However, she didn’t reach the other side of the threshold but appeared in a cave after one step.

A slightly chubby man was staring coldly at her.

This man was Li Yuan.

The Firefly Demon looked at the man, suddenly took two steps forward, then her knees buckled, and she knelt on the ground, bowing without a word.

Li Yuan, puzzled, asked, "Why such a grand courtesy?"

The Firefly Demon replied, "To admit my mistake."

"What mistake?"

"The mistake of deceiving you, Senior."

"Speak."

"The iron hammer my master gave you has a problem."

"..."

"A truly dormant Divine Spirit is hidden within that iron hammer, and it will enter the weapon along with the hammer. If you, Senior, use that hammer, you will inevitably release the Divine Spirit."

The Firefly Demon paused slightly and continued, "The Divine Spirit consumes one’s lifespan, so if you use that weapon, whoever you strike will surely die, but correspondingly... you, Senior, will also die due to limited lifespan."

As she spoke, she began to kowtow heavily.

She bowed so forcefully that her forehead soon bled.

Li Yuan used his strength to lift her up.

The Firefly Demon was just a Puppet, a pitiable soul in truth, and he had no need to be angry with her.

However, his eyes had already turned icy cold.

He now knew that the "Yan Hongxiu" in the "Earth Fire Sword" was not originally the Palace Master of the Holy Fire Palace, but a Divine Spirit that consumes lifespan.

His face grew cold, and he sat motionless.

The Firefly Demon said, "That Divine Spirit has already consumed much lifespan, yet you, Senior, remain unharmed, which can only mean one thing."

Li Yuan remained silent, like a statue of divine demons, sitting quietly on the rock.

The Firefly Demon smiled and said, "You, Senior, must also be from an Extraterrestrial Star.

Because only one from an Extraterrestrial Star could bear the consumption of lifespan for so many years.

However, in the current world, your true form might also be in slumber.

Thus... we are our own people fighting amongst ourselves.

My master said, there’s no need for it."

"We are currently cooperating with the East Sea Immortal Realm.

The East Sea Immortal Realm hopes for a Great Unity of Yin Yang, thereby reopening the opportunity to step into the Second Grade.

The Ancient Life Hall, Ancient Taiyin Hall, and Ancient Taiyang Hall... have not appeared in the world for a long, long time.

However, my master also said...

Just an Immortal Realm, how could it truly be worthy of cooperating with Him?

Only an Extraterrestrial Star can collaborate with an Extraterrestrial Star.

That’s you."

"Our people noticed you seem interested in the Immortal Realm, so... my master ordered me to help you obtain whatever you need from the Immortal Realm as compensation for our previous rudeness."

"However, before that, my master still wants me to ask you, Senior..."

"Senior... are you still thinking about saving this world?"

The Firefly Demon’s forehead was bloody, yet she smiled, her jade-like eyes quietly gazing at Li Yuan.

Her abrupt and far-reaching words almost shattered Li Yuan’s thoughts.

What is an Extraterrestrial Star?

What is this notion of saving the world?

What on earth are the Ancient Taiyin Hall, Ancient Life Hall, and Ancient Taiyang Hall?

He had no idea at all.

This flood of information was clearly a huge misunderstanding, mistaking him for an Extraterrestrial Star because of the lifespan issue.

Wasn’t this being forced into being a "husky among wolves"?

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind as Li Yuan slightly closed his eyes, suppressing his heartbeat, then let out a chilling laugh of "keh keh keh" and opened his eyes to say, "Was the matter in the Imperial Capital done by you?"

"Yes."

Li Yuan said blandly, "Then call him over."

The Firefly Demon smiled and said, "The true master is still asleep; before that, I’m willing to help you, Senior... to take a big bite out of the Immortal Realm as compensation.

Earlier, I was chatting with their representative here.

Soon, they will send people back to this land.

My master was right; the Immortal Realm is not worthy of being our ally; you are."

In the dark, it seemed as if an invisible giant hand moved the Puppet-like Firefly Demon slightly, as if placing a chess piece.
