"What are you talking about? If I send you back, the King of Hell will definitely take you in? Besides, the underworld is your home. You can come and go as you please." Mei Xichen gave him a disdainful look.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Shu Rong asked back.

"Stop talking. The worst possible outcome is that I turn back into a fox and return to Luoling Mountain, and you each take your children back to your respective homes. Maybe this is my fate." Long Jiaojiao said with a wronged look on her face.

"How can that be possible? Even if I sacrifice myself, I can't turn you back into a fox without any magical power. Let's not talk about whether you can continue to practice. Even if you can, when can you cultivate into a human form? Have you considered this, Long'er?"

"What if you have been practicing for hundreds of years? Wouldn't Mei Xichen and I have already been buried in peace?"

Thinking of this, Shu Rong shouted loudly. He wanted to ease his emotions. Tu Yu was finally dead, and now in front of them was another difficult to deal with King of Hell.

"Xichen, when the three-month period is almost here, I will give birth to my two daughters and transfer them to a small bed that I have prepared. There I will cast a spell to ensure that they can survive for nine months. Then you can hand them over to my second sister to raise them."

"No, we can't give up so easily. Things are far from that time yet. How about this, I'll go to the underworld with you. If it doesn't work, we'll just..."

Mei Xichen's words seemed to reveal his determination to die together with the King of Hell.

"No, no matter what, we can't mess with the King of Hell." Long Jiaojiao covered Mei Xichen's mouth and told him not to continue.

"Long'er, I think Mei Xichen is right. Why don't the three of us go to the underworld and see if we can find another way to replace it, as long as we can do it."

"That's right, Long'er. No matter how much I pay, I can't let you change back." Mei Xichen said frankly.

"Well, this is the only way now." Long Jiaojiao nodded helplessly.

The three of them did not hesitate, and after a brief farewell to Xuantai the next morning, they flew to Fengcheng. This time they did not sneak in but came to see the King of Hell openly.

Hei Wuchang nodded and smiled when he saw Long Jiaojiao.

"It seems that the girl is still trustworthy, but who is this?" Hei Wuchang had never seen Mei Xichen before so he felt quite curious.

"Mei Xichen."

"Oh, I've heard of the emperor in Kyoto. I didn't expect you to come here too." Hei Wuchang looked them up and down and invited the three of them in.

"Yan Wang, Miss Long is here."

"Let her in." The King of Hell was sitting in the main hall reviewing something at this time. He was very happy to see Long Jiaojiao.

"Miss Long is still a man of her word, but why did you bring people here?" asked the King of Hell in confusion.

"King Yan, Shu Rong and I are aware of the agreement between you and Long Er. The purpose of our visit today is to ask you to let Long Er go. We want to compensate you in other ways. Is that okay?" Mei Xichen stepped forward and said first.

"Oh, you're not here to give me the inner elixir today, so our previous agreement is equivalent to..."

"If the King of Hell feels that this is inappropriate, then I, Shu Rong, am here today, so I will not go back. So you will not suffer any loss no matter what."

"Are you here to bargain with me?" asked the King of Hell angrily.

"No, we just want to say that as long as you promise not to take Long'er's inner elixir, we will not refuse any other conditions you put forward, even if it costs me my life." Shu Rong looked at the King of Hell with firm eyes.

"Well, I like what you said, but let me think about it." The King of Hell put down the pen in his hand and began to ponder. He lowered his head as if thinking about how to make them repay the debt.

Mei Xichen and the other two were very happy when they saw this. After all, there was still room for improvement.

"King of Hell, I don't know whether I should tell you about the Devil's City. What do you think?" Hei Wuchang whispered a few words in King of Hell's ear.

"Devil's Castle? No, no, they can't do it. It's too dangerous." The King of Hell shook his head to express his disagreement.

"King Yan, just tell us what you want to say. We will do our best to help you complete it." Mei Xichen volunteered when he saw that King Yan was a little hesitant.

"I can't even do this, let alone them mortals." The King of Hell muttered to Hei Wuchang.

"Tell me, what if we can do it?"

Hei Wuchang saw that the two of them were so sincere and this matter had indeed troubled the King of Hell for a long time, so he told them the whole story.

"You two, you don't know why King Yan insisted on taking Miss Long's inner elixir. In fact, he had no choice."

"If my King Yan gets Miss Long's inner elixir, his inner strength will definitely increase greatly. Only then can he deal with Chi Heng, the leader of the Demon City."

"Who is Chi Heng that even the King of Hell can't deal with him?" Shu Rong asked curiously.

"You don't know that we had no contact with him at first. Until a year ago, he broke into the underworld and took away many of our little ghosts who were about to be reincarnated. Then he took away some more several times in succession, about 200 to 300 people in total. After the Heavenly Court knew about this, they ordered the King of Hell to hunt down Chi Heng, but we went to ask for him many times but to no avail, and he kept him in the Demon City."

"Then what does Chi Heng want these little ghosts for?" Mei Xichen asked puzzledly.

I only heard that he wanted to train them for his own use, and wanted to be independent from the Three Realms and become a ruler." Hei Wuchang replied.

"So what King Yan means is that if we defeat Chi Heng and get those little ghosts back, the agreement between you and Long Er will be cancelled, right?" Shu Rong stared at King Yan.

"Well, you can say that, but Chi Heng is not so easy to catch. He is not like Tu Yu who can be subdued so easily." The King of Hell kindly reminded.

"It's okay. As long as there is hope, we are willing to try, but we also hope that you can keep your promise." Mei Xichen smiled faintly.

"Okay, as long as you can subdue Chi Heng, I will no longer pursue the agreement between me and Miss Long. And since you two are both mortals and you care so much about Miss Long, I can make your life span the same as Miss Long's. What do you think?"

"Okay, it's settled then." Shu Rong's eyes lit up and his joy was beyond words.

"Then please tell us the exact location of Demon City." Mei Xichen looked at Hei Wuchang and asked him about the situation in Demon City.

"This demon city is located in a very remote area. No living person can enter or leave there, so you have to be extra careful." Hei Wuchang took out a map and pointed at it.

"Is this the place?" Mei Xichen asked, pointing to the sign on the map.

"Yes, it's here. You must be careful on this way. Chi Heng is not comparable to other evil spirits." Hei Wuchang reminded again and again.
