The entrance to the Demon Court.
Giant Hand, Demon Elephant, Karl, and Nan Ba all wore expressions of displeasure.
They recalled how in the outside world, they were renowned Heaven Ranking experts.
In any country, they were dominant and arrogant.
Which country or faction dared not give them face?
But upon arriving at the Demon Court, they completely understood what it meant to be ordinary people.
Within the Demon Court, their Heaven Ranking expert titles had no effect whatsoever.
However, when facing the Demon Court, they couldn't afford to be as temperamental as they were with other nations.
Karl took a deep breath and earnestly said to the two demon beasts guarding the entrance to the Demon Court, "You two, we truly have an urgent matter to see Lord Dragon God about."
"If you report this, it will surely be given great importance."
"Really, I'm not lying to you!"
The two demon beasts exchanged glances and replied impassively, "I don't care what urgent matter you have."
"In short, without orders, we will not let anyone pass!"
"Whether it's you or leaders from various countries, we will not allow passage!"
"You..."
Karl's anger flared, and his resentment was immeasurable.
But the moment he thought of the Demon Court, his anger completely subsided.
Following that, he gave the two demon beasts a pointed look and said no more.
He then directly sat down at the entrance to the Demon Court.
"What are you doing?" the two demon beasts reprimanded.
"Since you won't let us see him, we'll just squat here and wait."
After speaking, Karl turned his head away.
"Hey, this is the Demon Court, and you can't act so presumptuously!"
Upon hearing this, the two demon beasts immediately frowned. "Leave quickly! Get out of here!"
Karl pretended not to hear, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Seeing his demeanor, Giant Hand, Demon Elephant, and Nan Ba all turned their heads away, as if they hadn't heard either.
When Karl had spoken those words earlier, they had understood his intentions.
If they waited here, these two demon beasts wouldn't be able to handle them, and they would surely summon more powerful demon beasts.
And to defeat them, at least the core powerhouses of the Demon Court would be required.
At that time, they could directly speak of the spirit spring.
Although it was somewhat improper, it was the best plan they could think of at the moment.
The two demon beasts shouted a few more times, and seeing that Karl and the others were unyielding, they became helpless.
At that moment, they said no more, only whispering amongst themselves to think of a countermeasure.
"What are you doing here?"
Just as they were about to seek external help to resolve the situation, a sharp cry suddenly came from behind them.
Then, two women walked quickly towards them, one after the other.
One woman's body was engulfed in roaring flames, while the other was tranquil, with mist surrounding her.
"Dragon Emissaries!"
Upon seeing them, the two demon beasts' beastly faces broke into grins, and they immediately rushed forward.
Then, they quickly explained the situation to Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi.
"What are you doing at our Demon Court?"
"And why do you want to see Lord Dragon God?"
After a brief explanation of the situation, Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi frowned and walked towards Karl's group.
"Are you Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi?" Karl turned his head and asked first.
Seeing Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi nod gently, Karl and the others broke into smiles. "A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. This is all a misunderstanding."
"Huh?"
A flicker of confusion crossed Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi's brows.
However, before they could ask anything, Karl's group seemed to notice something behind Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi, their hearts jolted, and then they immediately knelt on both knees in reverence.
Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi were startled. Before their emotions had settled, they heard them shout in unison.
"Greetings, Lord Dragon God!"
"Lord Dragon God, hello!"
"Daidaiai!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi naturally knew that Ao Yuan had arrived. They turned and walked to Ao Yuan's side.
"You're here?"
Ao Yuan flicked his sleeve, and Karl's group suddenly felt an unknown force lift them all to their feet.
"Lord Dragon God."
Facing Ao Yuan, Karl and his companions became considerably more restrained.
"What are you here for?" Ao Yuan looked at them, appearing somewhat curious.
He hadn't expected these people he'd met in the valley to come here.
At this question, the two demon beasts were immediately startled.
They hadn't expected that the people they had blocked outside actually knew Lord Dragon God.
If they were to speak to Lord Dragon God about this later, it would be disastrous!
Thinking of this, the two demon beasts trembled.
They suddenly prostrated themselves before Ao Yuan and said with a tremor, "Lord... Lord Dragon God, I truly didn't know they were here to see you."
"That's why... that's why we didn't let them into the Demon Court."
"Lord Dragon God, please forgive us."
"Lord Dragon God, they are also thinking for the good of the Demon Court," Karl immediately bowed and replied.
Ao Yuan looked at Karl and remained silent.
Just as Karl was trembling with trepidation, Ao Yuan finally spoke calmly, "It's nothing."
Saying so, he signaled the two demon beasts to stand up.
Then, he turned his gaze to Karl's group and asked, "Speak, what is the purpose of your visit."
"Lord Dragon God," Karl chuckled obsequiously and said respectfully, "It's just that... the last time we met, you forgot to take something with you. We've come to return it to you this time."
*Clap clap!*
As he spoke, Karl clapped his hands.
Giant Hand, Demon Elephant, and Nan Ba quickly produced a large piece of land from somewhere.
Spring water dripped from the land.
As soon as it was revealed, it emitted a faint fragrance.
"This... this is..."
Breathing in the air, Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi felt a subtle change within their bodies, and their hearts were instantly shaken.
It was obvious that they recognized how extraordinary this item was.
The two demon beasts were even more so; their eyes turned bloodshot.
If they hadn't retained the last vestiges of their reason, they would have rushed forward to drink the sweet spring water.
Before Ao Yuan could ask further, Karl lowered his head and said again, "Lord Dragon God, after we parted ways in the valley previously."
"We said the Spirit Spring was a gift to you, and we didn't expect you to forget to take it when you left."
"So, we've brought it to you."
"Since it was said to be a gift, how can we take it back?"
Having said that, Karl remained silent.
His head lowered, his expression extremely tense.
Because he could feel Ao Yuan's gaze fixed upon him.
And just when he was unsure of what to do, Ao Yuan suddenly chuckled and said, "You are indeed thoughtful."
Upon hearing this, Karl, Demon Elephant, Giant Hand, and Nan Ba all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then... Lord Dragon God, where would be a good place to put this Spirit Spring?"
Ao Yuan didn't speak. He turned his gaze to Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi, signaling them to make the decision.
"How about putting it in the Heavenly Pool?"
Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi whispered to each other for a moment before giving their answer.
