The mist outside Chongming Hall had not yet dissipated when Bai Heng arrived, stepping through the morning dew, his black robes still carrying a chill.

As Li Guang emerged from the formation, she saw him standing under the eaves, his eyes filled with a barely perceptible concern.

"My husband, you've emerged from seclusion!"

"Yes, I've come to see you and the children. Let's go inside."

Li Guang felt the countless eyes watching her from all around, but maintained her surprised expression. She grasped Bai Heng's outstretched hand and followed his lead into the house.

The news of Bai Heng's emergence from seclusion had spread to all the demons who needed to know.

The message from Hu Bugui arrived quickly.

"Is everything arranged?" Li Guang's fingertips brushed against the communication talisman on the table.

Fox Returns agreed to hand over the Demon King's Seal at Broken Soul Cliff three days later.

Bai Heng nodded, a wisp of pale golden demonic power condensing at his fingertips, outlining a cute phantom in the air—the twins were nestled together, fast asleep within the barrier of the Dark Pavilion.

“They’ve made all the arrangements. The barrier is reinforced by the original power of the Demon King’s Seal, so even a Mahayana cultivator can’t see through it.” His voice was slightly deep. “Hu Bugui has coveted the throne for many years, and Liao hates me to the bone. This play must be performed convincingly.”

Li Guang took out a specially made Heart-Eating Pill, its body glowing with an eerie dark red: "You did not actually take the poison pill given by Liao. This pill can temporarily disrupt your meridians and fake the appearance of being possessed by a demon. The effect only lasts for one day, after which it will dissipate on its own and will not damage your foundation."

Bai Heng took the pill, his fingertips tracing the patterns on its surface, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"At that time, I will send you to accompany Yan Yan and Yao Yao, making it look like I went mad and killed my wife and children."

"Okay, be careful."

Li Guang wouldn't say anything like she was there for him. As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, she had no desire to participate in the death battles of Mahayana cultivators. She valued her life, hehe.

Upon receiving the news that the two demons wanted to make a deal, Liao sneered.

"Bai Heng is really courting death. He should taste what it's like to go mad with cultivation."

The day before the agreed-upon transaction, a chaotic burst of demonic power suddenly erupted from Chongming Palace, like a ferocious beast breaking free of its cage, causing the beams and pillars of the palace to creak and groan.

"Ah! My husband! Stop! Don't hurt the children!"

"Ah! No... kill... me..."

The mournful voice of a woman echoed in the hall, but the demons guarding it dared not approach. The stench of blood was too strong, and one could only imagine what terrible tragedy had occurred.

Bai Heng's roar pierced through the clouds, filled with heart-wrenching pain, drawing the attention of the surrounding demons.

Bai Heng's spiritual energy surged wildly, his black hair danced wildly, and a scarlet ferocity churned in his eyes. A blood-stained short blade appeared in his hand, with "blood beads" still dripping from its blade.

"Ah—! Ah Xing! What have I done? My wife, my children, I didn't mean to kill you!"

He roared wildly to the sky, his voice filled with madness, "Demon King's Seal...power...I can't control it! Why is this happening? Who killed me!"

This scene was promptly reported by spies from various parties who were closely monitoring Bai Heng.

Liao sat on the throne in the Demon King's Palace. Upon hearing the news, he immediately slammed his fist on the table and rose to his feet, his arrogant laughter causing the candlelight in the palace to flicker.

"Hahaha! You even killed your wife and children after going mad with your cultivation? Bai Heng, you little brat, you've finally met your match! The pills your wife fed you became the weapon to kill her. That little demon was insatiable, and now that she's dead, it's a clean and tidy death. It's a real pity that Bai Heng didn't die at the hands of his partner."

He suddenly stood up, his demonic aura surging. "Send word: follow me to the Chongming Palace. I will personally remove Bai Heng's fox head and reclaim the Demon King's Seal that belongs to me!"

Meanwhile, when Hu Bugui received the message, he was sitting in his cave, polishing his sword.

His narrow, fox-like eyes narrowed slightly, and his fingertips traced the blade of the sword, a sinister glint in his eyes: "Going into qi deviation? That saves me a lot of trouble."

His figure transformed into a streak of light, and he sped towards Chongming Hall first.

"The Demon King's Seal will ultimately belong to me, Fox Never Returns."
