Chapter 861 Pardoning and Conferring Titles upon the Demon General
Yu Muzi never expected that the White Ape Ancestor would agree to the amnesty so easily.

He stood there stunned for a long time.

To the point that he couldn't help but begin to doubt:
'Could this be a trap?'

But then I thought, given the other party's reputation, they wouldn't resort to such tricks.

Regardless, he was simply fulfilling the task assigned to him by the White Ze Demon Emperor.

As for what happens in the future, that's none of his business.

Upon realizing this, Yu Muzi was overjoyed:
"I am deeply grateful to Fellow Daoist White Ape for your profound understanding and righteousness!"

He originally came to White Ape Island with the mindset of bravely facing death to be recruited, after all, these great demons in front of him were no pushovers.

"Fellow Daoist Yumuzi, is that right? Please sit down and let's talk in detail," Qin Ming said calmly.

He then instructed the Sky-Devouring Rat to offer him this seat and serve him spiritual tea.

Upon seeing this, Yu Muzi was even a little flattered.

Regardless of whether the other party sincerely accepted the Demon Court's offer of amnesty, they were giving themselves ample face.

Therefore, he began to use his shrewd and diplomatic style to discuss the matter of recruiting and incorporating Qin Ming into the government.

Surprisingly, the negotiations went exceptionally smoothly, with Lei Ze Shui Fu agreeing to the terms almost readily.

After saying a lot, Yu Muzi took a sip of the spiritual tea and solemnly promised:
"As long as Fellow Daoist White Ape and Fellow Daoist Xuan Shui Crocodile agree, the Demon Emperor Bai Ze has promised to grant you immense power and status, and to exceptionally bestow titles upon Demon Commanders and Demon Generals."

"If you can make great contributions in the future, you can continue to be promoted and you can be said to have a place in the ancient demon realm."

"With your abilities, you two can certainly say you haven't tarnished your reputation within the Myriad Ze Demon Kingdom."

"I can guarantee that."

……

the other side.

The demon army that had come with Yu Muzi, seeing that he had not returned for a long time, assumed that something had happened to him and that he had met with another misfortune.

"Sigh! I knew it! That white ape is inherently cruel and should never be trusted. There's no way we can reach an agreement, so what's the point of talking about being offered amnesty?"

"Lord Yu is truly foolish! He has needlessly lost his life."

"What should we do? If we go back like this, we'll definitely be punished."

"Or, as Lord Fish-Eye Demon General instructed before he left, why don't we ask the Demon Court for help?"

Just as the demons were getting as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

But then, in the distance, a streak of light pierced the sky and instantly landed on the demon army's magic ship.

As the light dissipated, Yu Muzi's figure was revealed.

He had an inscrutable air about him, which gave him a sense of smug satisfaction.

"Lord Yu, it's so good to see you're alright!"

The demons found it hard to believe that he dared to go to the meeting alone, to White Ape Island, to handle the matter of being recruited.

Seeing him return unharmed and without a scratch, they even suspected that he was lying to them.

But then.

Fish Eye's words left all the demons present stunned.

He raised his hand and coughed lightly, then said casually:

"I have already completed the matter of offering amnesty."

"Furthermore, the Longevity Armies of the Four Great Water Palaces have agreed to be incorporated into the Demon Court's army."

hiss~~
Upon hearing Yu Muzi's words, all the demon generals gasped in astonishment, finding it hard to believe that he had accomplished such a feat all by himself.

However, words spoken by a dignified demon general must not be mere joking, hence the skepticism.

Until Yu Muzi took something out of his hand and showed it to the demons.

It was none other than the surrender document personally signed by the White Ape Ancestor.
For a moment, all the demon cultivators who had previously harbored doubts about Yu Muzi were speechless.
Soon after.

The fact that the four major water palaces, led by the Thunder Water Palace, submitted to the Myriad Swamps Demon Court caused a great uproar in the demon cultivation world.

Originally, it was thought that a bloody confrontation would break out between the Thunder Swamp Water Palace and the Demon Court, but unexpectedly, the White Ape Ancestor agreed to the surrender so quickly.
After all, joining the demon army means losing the freedom one had before; while gaining power, one must also pay a corresponding price.

Everything must be done according to the orders of the Demon Court; if you are told to go east, you cannot go west.

Even the patriarchs of the other three major water palaces came to Qin Ming to complain, none of them understanding why he did this.

But Qin Ming didn't care about these demons; his goal was to return to the Spirit Realm through the demons' interdimensional passage.

As for the demon cultivators of the four major water palaces, they can be sold off as they see fit.
It could cause a civil war in the ancient demon realm, and even make an indelible contribution to the human race in the spirit realm.

A few months later.

The upper echelons of the Wanze Demon Kingdom acted swiftly, quickly dispatching a large demon army to completely incorporate the Longevity Army of the four major water palaces.

Inside the Demon Palace.

Qin Ming and his several spirit pets were also summoned to the capital of the Demon Court, where they met the legendary and powerful Bai Ze Demon Emperor.

Although he has a gentle appearance, he gives off an extremely powerful sense of oppression.

The White Ze Demon Emperor, clad in a feathered robe, scrutinized Qin Ming and the Xuan Shui Crocodile for a long while.

Qin Ming only felt a powerful demonic thought sweep over him, and the investigation was completed in no time.

He possesses the seventh-tier mid-grade Primordial Poison Flame and the "Myriad Forms of Selflessness Heavenly Demon's True Skill" to disguise himself, so even if a Nascent Soul stage expert were to investigate, they would not be able to detect anything amiss.

"Huh? You two actually possess a trace of high-level bloodline. No wonder you can dominate this region."

The White Ze Demon Emperor was extremely satisfied with the submission of the White Ape and the Xuan Shui Crocodile, and thus agreed to the previous conditions.

"From this day forward, I hereby bestow upon you two the titles of White Ape Demon General and Black Water Crocodile Demon General, allowing you to continue leading your Longevity Army and serving the Demon Court."

After saying that, the White Ze Demon Emperor took out two beast-shaped tiger talismans, then flipped his hand to reveal a large black jade seal, which emitted a subtle yet powerful fluctuation.

This seal represents the supreme power of the Demon Court.

With a flick of his finger, he imprinted a square rune mark into the two tiger talismans, and suddenly a brilliant purple light shone forth.

Immediately afterwards, the White Ze Demon Emperor casually flicked his finger, and the two tiger talismans fell into the hands of Qin Ming and the Xuan Shui Crocodile, respectively.

Qin Ming never expected that, after all the twists and turns, he would become a powerful demon general in charge of a region.
Even the Devouring Sky Rat and the Blue Ice Fairy were appointed as demon generals.

However, even among demon generals, there are different ranks, and they are a few ranks lower than the Xuan Shui Crocodile.

The Devouring Rat didn't care. As long as he followed Qin Ming, it didn't matter where he went. He could become a demon general and not have to suffer the hardships of farming. He was happy with that.

It truly satisfied its ever-growing vanity.

Within the Wanze Demon Kingdom, it was also learned that from this day forward, the old generation of Demon General Ao Yu had fallen, and the new generation of Demon General Bai Yuan had risen.

In the ancient demon realm, this was considered an extremely important matter.

The territory granted to Qin Ming after his pardon expanded beyond the original four major water palaces to include more than ten neighboring water palaces, encompassing the entire southern region of the Wanze Demon Kingdom.

He still built his Demon General's Mansion on White Ape Island.

In no time, Lei Ze Water Mansion became a bustling place.

Many large demon clan forces in the vicinity have established relationships with Qin Ming, the newly promoted demon general, and have paid him a visit.

The scene was so lively that Qin Ming almost couldn't keep up.

Qin Ming learned from the items left behind by Demon General Ao Yu that the interdimensional passage from the ancient demon realm to the spirit realm was located in an independent cave called 'Tianhai Guixu' in the Wanze Demon Kingdom.

Demon cultivators in the Ancient Demon Realm, upon reaching the fifth rank, have the opportunity to travel to the Spirit Realm through the large interdimensional passage here. Furthermore, not all fifth-rank demons are qualified to use this interdimensional passage.

However, Qin Ming believed that these old guys from the Ancient Demon Realm would one day send him to the Spirit Realm to replace Ao Yu, the Demon Commander.

Then I can return to the spirit world in a natural way.

It will not cause any unnecessary trouble.

After all, although he has now advanced to the late stage of Body Refinement and his strength is now far greater than before, it is somewhat unrealistic for him to force his way through the interdimensional passage while he is in the Ancient Demon Realm.

The ancient demon realm is teeming with powerful beings, and there are even true spirits among them.

If the goal can be achieved at the lowest possible cost, that would naturally be the best.

After the White Ze Demon Emperor incorporated Qin Ming's Longevity Army, he did not send him to the front lines to fight, but instead ordered him to continue guarding the Southern Region's waters.

After all, it is a neighboring area of ​​the Holy Feather Demon Kingdom, and its geographical location is quite important.

Qin Ming clearly remembered that the Holy Son of the Night Owl Clan, Emperor Chen, and the powerful gray-robed elder were from this country.

The ancient demon realm is not monolithic; wars still rage among the various demon domains over resources.

……

This day.

Qin Ming was tending to his spiritual plants in the small spiritual realm, while the Devouring Sky Rat was keeping watch over the outside of White Ape Island for him.

The Devouring Sky Rat lay leisurely on a boulder, legs crossed, drinking the Void Heaven Inviting the Moon Elixir, living a carefree life.

It feels even happier than it does in the spirit world.

Suddenly.

Its spiritual senses stirred, and it suddenly sensed two extremely powerful demon cultivators about to land on White Ape Island.

His cultivation level was even at the seventh level.

Not long after.

A ripple spread through the void, and two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.

They were a red-robed boy with dragon horns on his head and a middle-aged man with blue eyes and fine clothes, both with extraordinary bearing.

The moment the old man and the young man appeared, they exuded an immense spiritual pressure, which invigorated the spirit of the Devouring Rat!
Gu Chang'an, the tortoise curled up on the ground nearby, couldn't help but think to himself:

'They're all seventh-tier demon cultivators!'

'Such a high-ranking demon being visits; I never imagined Brother Li would be so successful wherever he goes.'

Looking at myself, sigh.

Seeing this, the Devouring Rat hurriedly stepped forward to greet them, saying, "Seniors, are you here to visit the White Ape Demon General?"

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and inform them right away."

But it had barely finished speaking.

A faint voice echoed from the void: "No need. I will personally receive you two fellow Daoists. You may go and brew a pot of the finest spiritual tea."

Immediately afterwards, an extremely burly figure with silver-white fur appeared before everyone; it was Qin Ming in disguise as the White Ape Demon General.

The old man and the young man opposite him smiled upon seeing Qin Ming, cupped their hands in greeting, and introduced themselves:
"I am Chi Linzi, a member of the Fire Qilin Clan in the Northern Region of the Wanze Demon Kingdom. We have been away on business and heard that Fellow Daoist Bai Yuan has recently been promoted to the position of Demon Commander, so we have come to pay our respects and offer our congratulations."

“This is Fellow Daoist ‘Dragon Carp’ who is in charge of the Azure-Eyed Clan in the Eastern Region. We two old fellows just happened to be passing by.”

"I have long admired Fellow Daoist White Ape. Congratulations on your appointment as a Demon Commander. From now on, you are one of us."

The red-robed boy greeted Qin Ming with a smile and clasped his hands in congratulations the moment he saw him appear, while also introducing the middle-aged man beside him.

The middle-aged man from the dragonfish clan also greeted him very politely with a cupped-hand salute: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist White Ape. Seeing is believing."

"Truly, the younger generation surpasses the older one!"

Qin Ming hadn't spent all these years in the Ancient Demon Realm for nothing, and he immediately recognized the two people in front of him.

They were all renowned demon generals in the Fusion Stage within the Wanze Demon Kingdom, each ruling over their respective regions.

Qin Ming was surprised that someone like them would personally come to visit him; it was quite unexpected.

That Fire-Scaled Demon General is said to be a branch of the ancient True Spirit Qilin Clan, possessing cultivation that reaches the heavens and the earth.

Despite his seemingly harmless appearance as a child, he is extremely ruthless and decisive, and is considered a formidable figure in the ancient demon realm.

As for the middle-aged man from the Dragonfish Clan, named 'Dragonfish Demon General', he possessed a trace of the bloodline of the ancient True Dragon Clan, which was extremely rare.

In the ancient demon realm, those who can become demon generals are all powerful demons with cultivation levels above the seventh-order Integration Realm.

Or perhaps they possess some kind of extremely powerful bloodline.

Such figures are extremely rare within the Wanze Demon Kingdom.

The Fire Scale Demon General and the Dragon Fish Demon General standing before Qin Ming were also prominent figures in the entire Demon Kingdom.

His reputation even surpasses that of the Demon General Ao Yu.

"So it's you two demon generals who have graced my humble abode with your presence. Please come in for a chat." Qin Ming also gestured for the two powerful demons to enter the island.

After entering the cave, the group chatted casually.

Below the Demon Emperor of the Wanze Demon Kingdom are five Demon Sovereigns, and below them are Demon Generals, but there are not many seventh-rank Demon Generals.

In a country spanning billions of territories, the number of demon generals can be counted on two hands.

After entering the pavilion on the island.

Qin Ming and the two demon generals who came before him became familiar with each other after the first meeting, and they chatted and exchanged ideas.

Huo Linzi surveyed the extremely tranquil and simple surroundings and couldn't help but sigh with emotion:
"I didn't expect Fellow Daoist White Ape to be so low-key before, but now he's made a stunning move. Tell me the truth, did that old guy Ao Yu really die at your hands?"

Qin Ming naturally knew that the other party was trying to subtly inquire, since no one had actually witnessed it.

Regarding Qin Ming's killing of Ao Yu, the demon general, the two of them still remain hesitant.

It wasn't until Qin Ming showed them Ao Yu Demon General's silver seventh-tier demon core that the two demons were immediately filled with awe and no longer harbored any illusions or doubts.

Besides.

Qin Ming also learned that the competition among the five demon emperors in the Wanze Demon Kingdom was quite fierce.

Not to mention those demon generals.

They are all extremely rare among the top demon races.

Even those who inherit some high-level bloodlines are doing very well.

If one carries the bloodline of a true spirit, then their future is limitless.

……

……

at the same time.

The news that the White Ape Ancestor and the Xuan Shui Crocodile had been incorporated into the Wan Ze Demon Kingdom and granted the titles of Demon General and Demon Commander had quietly spread throughout the ancient demon realm.

The news first reached the neighboring Holy Feather Demon Kingdom.

Emperor Chen, the Holy Son of the Night Owl Clan, held a jade slip in his hand, his expression gradually becoming extremely ugly.

"Damn it! How could these two guys have gone this far!"
