I am eight years old again, and I will never serve as a cauldron for the empress again.

Zhuang Zhou and his companions had only recently left Liucheng.

Su Xin had already returned to the city lord's mansion.

"Tell the demons that Zhuang Zhou and the others have left Liucheng!"

Su Xin's eyelids drooped, as if she were talking about something unimportant.

Hear the words.

Liu Wufeng was stunned: "Madam, isn't this going a bit too far!"

"Too much?!"

Su Xin sneered.

She looked at Liu Wufeng.

"A woman's kindness!"

"Anything that cannot be used by me is useless! Although Zhuang Zhou and Liu Yang have left Liucheng, it's hard to guarantee they won't harbor resentment and seek revenge. To be fair, these two are still quite capable. As the saying goes, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. If they really want to take revenge on Liucheng, they might become a major threat to us! So let's just eliminate them before they make a move! Only in this way can we completely prevent future troubles!"

Su Xin's voice was cold and devoid of any human warmth.

In Liucheng, most people know about it.

The city lord, Liu Wufeng, is actually henpecked.

He was only the city lord in name only.

The truly important decisions still need to be made by Su Xin.

Liu Wufeng felt it was inappropriate; he opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

He was worried that Su Xin would continue to scold him.

In the end, they acquiesced to Su Xin's decision!

The spies were sent out to deliver a message to the demons.

However, half a day later, there was still no news of the demons killing Zhuang Zhou and the others.

Zhuang Zhou and the others seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. No trace could be found.

Instead, they received the devastating news that a massive army of demons was pressing in!

Having learned from past mistakes, this time the demons sent out more people, and they were stronger. There were as many as four experts at the Emperor Realm.

In addition, there are dozens of saints and hundreds of demonic powerhouses at the Yin-Yang Realm.

The demons and monsters below the Yin-Yang Realm are even more numerous and countless!

They saw those demons appear.

Su Xin stood on the city wall, her face ashen.

"Last time, didn't Zhuang Zhou and the others kill a group of demons? Why are there even more demons this time?"

The demon army was at the city gates, but their formation was not yet complete.

A suffocating pressure made it hard for Su Xin to breathe.

"The demons beyond the realm are endless. What Zhuang Zhou and his companions killed last time was probably only a small fraction of them!"

Liu Wufeng frowned and said.

"No, that's not how it works! This world isn't completely shattered yet. The spacetime rifts have limited capacity, and the number of demons that can be teleported over within a fixed timeframe is also limited! It's impossible for the number of demons from outside the realm to suddenly surge so much! There's a conspiracy here, there must be a conspiracy!"

Su Xin's voice was somewhat manic.

All the meticulously planned schemes crumbled at this moment.

With the demons' current strength, they simply cannot hold out long enough for the formation to be completed.

The entire city of Liucheng will perish with them.

"Lord Liu, Madam Liu. It's been a long time!"

A figure slowly emerged from the demon army.

When Su Xin saw the figure clearly, her expression suddenly turned ferocious.

"Zhuang Zhou, you were the one who orchestrated all of this!"

Su Xin was furious.

"I don't want things to get so ugly with Liucheng! Let's leave Liucheng, go our separate ways, and wipe the hatchet! That's the best outcome, but I want to maintain some dignity, and you won't give me that! So I have no choice but to tear up this facade and join the demons' ranks!"

Zhuang Zhou's tone was extremely calm. Liu Wufeng and Su Xin's expressions, however, were increasingly grim. They naturally knew what Zhuang Zhou meant by "dignity"—after Zhuang Zhou left, Su Xin had sent a message to the demons, telling them that Zhuang Zhou had left Liucheng and was no longer under their protection.

Su Xin originally intended to use someone else to do her dirty work.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Zhou went all the way and joined the ranks of the demons.

"Zhuang Zhou, you clearly killed so many demons, they could never forgive you! How dare you collude with them and stand with them!"

Su Xin roared again.

She thought she had calculated everything perfectly and had not overlooked anything.

But now it seems that all her previous scheming was nothing but a joke.

Zhuang Zhou lifted his eyelids and glanced at the impotent and furious figure on the Liucheng city wall.

"The reason the demons wanted me before was because I blocked their path to conquer Liucheng! But now I'm helping them widen the spatial rift, allowing more demons to descend and helping them take Liucheng faster. Naturally, they will turn from enemies to friends and cherish me like a precious gem! In this respect, the demons are much better than you!"

"I work for you, and you treat me like an ox or a horse, doing whatever you want to me! But when I work for demons, they not only forgive me and do nothing to harm me, but they even give me and Liu Yang many of the human cultivation techniques they plundered, so we can look at them and study them at will!"

"Perhaps the greatest demon lies hidden within the human heart!"

Zhuang Zhou's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

Su Xin stomped her foot angrily: "You're just a nobody in the Earthly Fiend Realm, don't exaggerate your strength. That spatial rift, even Liu Wufeng and I couldn't tear it any further. How could you make it bigger, allowing even more demon armies to descend! You're definitely just trying to make yourself look good, I'm going to expose you in front of these demons! You must have used some unknown means to deceive the demons and gain their favor!"

Su Xin was incredibly vicious. Even though Liucheng was about to be breached by demons, she still wanted to drag Zhuang Zhou down with her.

However, a cold smile appeared on Zhuang Zhou's lips.

"Your blindness doesn't mean the demons are blind too!"

As expected, Su Xin's provocation did not sway the demons in the slightest. The demon army continued to tightly surround Zhuang Zhou and Liu Yang.

"Since you want to see how I break through the world's barrier and summon powerful demons, then I will grant your wish!"

Zhuang Zhou slowly walked forward and set up a small air-breaking formation on the ground.

Zhuang Zhou formed a hand seal, and the Void-Breaking Technique resonated with the Void-Breaking Array.

At the same time, the "Time and Space Law" within his body also began to operate.

A three-pronged approach.

The surrounding spacetime is shattered.

A demonic figure vaguely appeared.

The aura of a Saint Realm expert slowly spread out.

"Moo!"

A deep, muffled roar sent shivers down the spines of countless people around.

In the shattered void, a three-zhang-tall blue ox slowly emerged.

The demon army has gained another Saint-level warrior.

Zhuang Zhou looked up at Su Xin: "This time, do you believe what I'm saying?"

Su Xin felt as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly.

Her eyes widened: "You really possess such supernatural powers? Why didn't you say so before? Why did you hide your true strength? If I had known you had such powers..."

"If you had known I possessed such supernatural powers, you and Liu Wufeng would have killed me long ago, preventing Liu Yang and me from even having a chance to leave the city!"

Zhuang Zhou sneered, interrupting Su Xin.

"Bamboo leaf green, wasp tail, but nothing is more poisonous than a woman's heart! The ancients were right! You are the most vicious one, not a demon, but worse than a demon! Today I will avenge myself! I will lead the demons to raze the entire Willow City to the ground!"

"Zhuang Zhou, let's talk this out! We were indeed wrong about what happened before! But you are, after all, a human, and you can't just turn your back on your own kind! What do you want? Just name it, and we'll give you whatever we can provide!"

Liu Wufeng stepped forward, wanting to act as a peacemaker.

However, Zhuang Zhou sneered and said, "It's too late to regret it now! Once Liucheng falls, I can take whatever I want myself! There's no need to trade or cooperate with people like you who don't keep their word!"

"It's not that I didn't give you chances, it's just that you didn't know how to cherish them!"
