The Illusion Fox Demon absorbed the essence of a labyrinth illusion realm, transforming it into a medicine pill and then excreting impurities as clones. Meanwhile, Noble Princess Consort You awoke in the Imperial Palace, contemplating accumulating merit. Finally, upon returning to Qingjing Peak, the disciple Jiu Xuansu's body violently exploded, revealing a demon within and causing widespread panic.

Only the elder at the seat spoke, calmly.

"Go and retrieve the [Reversion Order]."

In the next moment, the elders surrounding him simultaneously appeared in front of Lu Family Ancestor!

In an instant, Lu Family Ancestor’s eyes widened in shock.

A moment ago, these old things seemed so weak in sense, but now all of a sudden, they erupted with an astonishing and terrifying aura.

How can this be?!

In an instant, Lu Family Ancestor felt something was wrong, turned to flee, only to find his body was already bound by fine threads, unable to move!

"Binding Immortal Threads?! You are, you are from the Taixu Xiaoya Sect?!"

Lu Family Ancestor’s voice trembled, his face filled with terror!

For Taixu Xiaoya Sect, also known as... Taixu Saint Sect!

A name as renowned as Black Withered Saint Sect, one of the five hidden Saint Sects of the era!

"Wait! This is all a misunderstanding! Just a misunderstanding!!"

Lu Family Ancestor’s plea received no response, merely bringing the battle to a swift conclusion.

Clear Peak began to gradually return to tranquility.

Accompanied by an eagle spreading its wings, soaring across the sky.

In the misty mountains, high peaks resembling Clear Peak, there were as many as... twelve peaks!

...

Tianyuan Town, or rather... Demon Capital!

The roads were busy, constantly changing.

Since the day the heavenly army descended, the Demon Capital has begun a new round of reconstruction.

Unlike human towns with tight defense and closed gates.

A vast town, open roads on all sides, unbarred for incoming and outgoing demons.

Such openness, such audacity, gained the recognition of All Demons.

The name of Demon Emperor, Lan Yuhe, grew increasingly resounding.

Not to mention, that night, like a divine strike, instantly crushed all invaders, leaving All Demons in awe.

Lan Yuhe’s position was firmly unshakeable.

Conversely, the Four Great Demon Kings from the past gradually were privately referred to by new demons as unworthy of their positions.

Aside from the pure-blooded Green Demon King who slightly commanded trust, the rest of the Demon Kings, even Shu Bird Demon King, weren’t spared any criticism.

Interaction among demons always simple and direct.

A strong fist is the hard truth.

If power isn’t enough, no matter how much boasting, someone will disagree!

Shu Bird Demon and others naturally understood this reason, but their potential still existed, their strength remained, wanting to advance further isn’t something that can be achieved quickly.

Only Green Demon, with abundant resources, saw his strength surging uncontrollably, consistently remaining above the standard.

Other Demon Kings, even the Shu Bird Demon of Seven Absolute Birds, began to feel inadequate.

There’s no help for it, too many demons came for fame.

With a large number of demons, monsters sprang up continuously like bamboo shoots after rain.

Any one among them is a strong one who stood out from thousands of demons, the Demon Kings have potential, but lack the time to grow, this is one of the reasons resources alone cannot suffice.

Give them hundreds of years, a thousand years, and not to say reaching Lord Lan’s realm, but suppressing most of the demons in the city would still not be a problem.

Shu Bird Demon didn’t think they lacked ambition, rather being Demon Kings, daily affairs increased, coupled with slow growth in strength, compared to their terrifying monster-like subordinates, it inevitably led to fatigue and escapism.

They tended towards engaging in affairs rather than focusing on cultivation.

In short, cultivation might yield no results day after day.

But attending to affairs is truly busy, and one can accomplish things.

"Tired indeed."

Shu Bird Demon sat on the enormous Taishi Chair, his massive demon body accompanied by the chair’s rocking, comfortably closing his eyes.

Blood Sea Demon soaked in the adjacent Blood Pool, lazily emitted a sound.

"In human terms, it is like the waves of the Yangtze River driving forwards. We have accomplished much by following the path thus far, it’s already enough to witness everything."

The slender and unusually slim Demon of Scorched Hearts suddenly raised his hand, pointing afar.

"Green Demon has arrived."

Over there, Green Demon rubbed his forehead, contemplating.

This was a habit left after wearing human skin for too long.

He hadn’t received any news about someone for some time.

Nor did he know where someone was now, and how the situation was.

"Green Demon, how is the situation over at Thunder City? Is it convenient to take action and annex it?"

Shu Bird Demon spoke directly and openly.

A three-tenths life in matters, not to mention a demon!

Since it had been discovered that the human army was transported from Thunder City, naturally a counterattack was in order, to remind the world!

Otherwise, this Demon Capital would risk attacks from any Tom, Dick, or Harry!

Of course, everyone knew the source of the army was the Human Emperor’s order, from the location named Capital!

But who dared to attack Capital?

Naturally, attention must turn to Thunder City.

"Greatly weakened, many Sky-reaching Pillars have fallen, an attack can be considered. After my report, let’s await Lord Lan’s instructions."

With that, Green Demon was already standing before the other Demon Kings.

His brows slightly furrowed.

"You haven’t been cultivating lately, have you?"

As Demon kings, their resources were sufficient, so slow progress, Green Demon could see at a glance.

The Demon Kings exchanged glances at his words, slightly embarrassed.

In the end, Shu Bird Demon laughed it off.

"Relax and you can accomplish twice with half the effort; we’re just temporarily relaxing, soon progress will pick up."

"Yeah, that’s right!"

"Yes! Shu Bird Demon is right! Besides, with so many powerful subordinates, we don’t need to handle everything personally."

The other Demon Kings echoed, each somewhat self-conscious.

If they could be like Green Demon, constantly attaining results in cultivation, they’d be willing to strive.

However, the fact remains, there’s a gap between talent and talent.

The gap in bloodline is even brutally clear!

Green Demon opened his mouth to say something, then slowly closed it.

Suddenly, he felt somewhat lonely.

Unknowingly, those companions who once journeyed with him had gradually fallen behind, and the gap was widening.

It’s as though their relationship was increasingly distant, whether in dealing with matters or confronting future challenges, they would no longer be on the same starting line.

The dangers he would face, these companions were no longer suited for the same battlefield.

At that time, Green Demon thought of someone.

"Diao Deyi... If it were you, could you keep up with my pace?"

"If even you were left behind, who would remain by my side?"

"No..."

"No matter what lies ahead, I will take you along, protecting the weak you, the weak of our race behind me!"

Green Demon’s gaze gradually grew resolute.

At this moment, the bell representing Lan Yuhe’s summons rang.

Dong—

Dong—

Dong—

The Four Demons exchanged glances, promptly gathering themselves and entering the grand hall.

Only to see Lan Yuhe standing at the high seat in the hall, overlooking the Four Demons.

"Calculating the hour, it should be about that time."

The opening remark was a cryptic one, leaving the Four Demons puzzled.

Nonetheless, Lan Yuhe’s enigmatic speeches weren’t new to them; they were used to it and didn’t mind.

Yet unexpectedly, Lan Yuhe turned around, speaking to them further.

"You Four Demons, have accompanied me from the beginning to now."

"I once made a promise, that once the great matter was achieved, I would grant you all that you deserve!"

Shu Bird Demon and the other demons exchanged looks, didn’t they already have everything now?

A city belonging to the Demon Clan, established in the human territory, Demon Capital!

Along with exalted status, with single-handedly dominating power!

In addition to the initial and final promise, they’ve already received everything else.

Among the Four Demons, only Green Demon kept his head down in silence, refraining from expressing any stance.

At this time, Lan Yuhe continued.

"Perhaps you yourselves have already forgotten. Forgotten the many rewards I promised."

"But I have not forgotten."

Lan Yuhe turned his face slightly apart, looking down at the Four Demons below.
