Unfortunately, Huang Yin's worries had to co true because Nan Ming had contacted his father, especially after they couldn't sense the presence of the intruders, which made him worry about Nan Xing's safety. After getting this information, his father hurriedly went to et the leader and elders of the demi-human race to inform them about the presence of the intruders in their realm.
When he arrived in a spacious building, many demi-humans from various races living in the Burial Realm had already gathered there. An old demi-human man, who looked almost identical to Long Jue but was more burly and dashing, sat in the leader's seat. "Is your information accurate, Nan Kuo?"
Nan Kuo nodded before answering his question. "Long Huanlei, Ming'er told about the intruders, so I'm sure the news isn't false. Previously, Huang Yin sensed the presence of two foreign demi-humans in our realm, but Long Jue asked Er Xiyi to take them away, so she sent Huang Xiong and Xing'er to chase after them."
"Long Jue?" Not only was Long Huanlei shocked to hear that, but everyone present in the room was also shocked to hear that he had helped the two intruders escape. "Then, what happens next?"
"Both of them have been away for quite a while, but they still haven't returned, and they lost track of them. That's why Huang Yin and four others decided to go to the western region, but they suddenly sensed the presence of Huan Xiong and Long Jue while on their way there. Unfortunately, they were unable to sense the presence of Xing'er, Er Xiyi, Qian Lan, and Fei Yu, so sothing bad might have happened to them."
"Do you believe the intruders captured the four of them? Another male demi-human, shaped like an eagle, asked Nan Kuo with narrowed eyes. "If they captured them, that ans their numbers are probably quite large, and their cultivation is also probably quite high. However, I can't understand their reasons for releasing Huan Xiong and Long Jue, especially since those two will definitely report to us about their presence."
"Huang Quan, I haven't gotten more detailed information, so I don't have an answer for you, and I deliberately inform you guys first because their presence might threaten our peaceful lives, so we can think about counterasures to that." Long Huanlei and the others nodded in agreent, and Nan Kuo then spoke again. "Anyway, your daughter and Song Su have already rushed to their location to confirm the whereabouts of those four people, and they should have t by now, so it would be better if you guys contact them now. Unfortunately, Ming'er and Zi Zhe fell behind because your daughter's beast was too fast, so my first son decided to tell about this matter because he was worried about his little brother."
"Where do you think those intruders ca from? How could they infiltrate our realm without our knowledge?" A female demihuman who was none other than Song Su's mother, Song An, asked Long Huanlei with a frown.
Long Huanlei himself didn't have an answer to that, especially since it had been too long since no other living creatures had co to their realm, and they also didn't have any clear information about them, so he didn't dare make a decision rashly. "Huang Quan and Song An, I want you two to contact your daughters and ask them for the latest information about those intruders, and I will contact Long Jue."
However, Long Huanlei's face darkened because Long Jue didn't respond to his call. 'That brat! I was too lenient with him for the past few years, and he dares to disobey now! Once I confirm those intruders, I will capture and lock him up in that dark hole for decades!'
After so ti, Huang Quan inford Long Huanlei. "Yin'er has yet to et the intruders due to their inability to enter the western region, especially since the void walls are blocking their path."
"Void walls?" After hearing that, Long Huanlei was truly shocked, especially since he knew for sure that there was only one person who could use it in the upper realms. 'Could it be that the intruders are related to that woman?'
"Su'er also told the sa thing." Long Huanlei imdiately turned to Su An. "Anyway, Long Jue and Huan Xiong told them that the person who created those void walls was a woman from the spirit race nad Zhou Yu, and-"
*Bam*
Suddenly, Long Huanlei's chair exploded and caused him to fall to the floor, and his expression beca completely shocked, confusing all of them.
"What happened to you? Why are you so shocked?" Song An and the others stared at Long Huanlei in astonishnt, especially since they had not seen him show such an expression in such a long ti.
Long Huanlai imdiately stood up and took a deep breath. "If Song Su is telling the truth, I believe that those intruders have no evil intentions towards us and our realm."
"I agree with you." A female demi-human, resembling a falcon, spoke in a lodic voice, drawing everyone's attention before providing an explanation. "Years ago, Huanlei sent and my family to another realm to look for a rare spirit artifact, and we encountered several nature races, including the spirit race. Like us demi-humans, the nature races are peace-loving creatures, and they will never do anything bad to other creatures as long as we don't disturb them. However, if we beco their enemies, they can be extrely cruel, and the one we encountered at that ti was known as Hun Lingwang."
"Are they very strong, You Sun?" Another male demihuman asked.
You Sun smiled bitterly after hearing his question, and her husband, Huang Quan, also showed the sa reaction. "Have you ever t a living creature that can pull the souls of other living creatures out of their bodies, Ya Zi?"
"Isn't that impossible?" Ya Zi asked with a look of disbelief, and he couldn't believe that any living creature could do such a thing.
"Hey, nothing is impossible in this world." Huang Quan replied to Ya Zi, shaking his head. "Back then, we witnessed with our own eyes that Hun Lingwang pulled the souls of those cultivators out of their bodies, and he destroyed them until nothing remained."
After hearing that, Ya Zi and the others gasped in shock, and Long Huanlei then spoke to them. "They weren't lying to you all, especially since all nature races have unique abilities, including the spirit race. In the past, I have t so of them, and they are indeed peace-loving creatures. However, those arrogant humans often misinterpret their peaceful deanor as cowardice, leading many to attempt harassnt only to et a tragic end at their hands. Moreover, I heard that their spirit emperor is powerful, and he should be much stronger than , so everyone who is aware of their strengths always avoids looking for trouble with them."
All of them took a deep breath after hearing that, but an old male demi-human with a turtle shell on his back asked Long Huanlei. "Do you know anything about that spirit woman nad Zhou Yu? Why did you overreact after hearing her na?"
When he asked that question, Long Huanlei's face turned pale, further confusing them, until he provided an explanation. "Honestly, I don't know Zhou Yu directly, but I once heard from one of the spirit race mbers that she is the Spirit of the Void who holds total control over the void, and she is the only one in this universe who can do such a thing."
"What?" After hearing his answer, they all shouted as they stood up from their seats. "Are you serious about that? How can she control the void?"
Long Huanlei just nodded before explaining to them again. "Our ancestors once said that all mbers of the spirit race can be born from many things, such as nature, human emotions, and many more. As for Zhou Yu, I heard that she was born from the void, which ans she is the embodint of the void itself, so there's no need to be surprised about her ability to control voids. Although that race loves peace, but I've also heard so bad rumors about her, and she once wiped out all the inhabitants of a realm."
"Wiped out all the inhabitants of a realm?" After hearing that, they gasped in shock, especially since such a thing was far beyond their imagination, and they felt that Zhou Yu's abilities were too absurd if she could actually do such a thing.
"Actually, it's just a rumor I heard in the past, but I don't know whether it's really true or just a re rumor." Even though he said that, those people's expressions still looked shocked, so Long Huanlei spoke to them again. "Beside her, I have also heard about so spirits that are born from the seven emotions of living creatures, and they are the true immortals who can never die as long as other living creatures still exist."
Unfortunately, Long Huanlei's revelation actually caused the mbers of his race to feel a mixture of confusion, amazent, and horror towards the spirit race. Nan Kuo then asked him. "What are we going to do now? Are we going to go et them? Or are we going to wait for them to leave our realm on their own?"
