Feng Xiao led a group of people to a village near the Black Wind Mountains that had been affected by the plague. At that moment, he was talking with the families of several patients, and around them were patients who had just taken the antidote and were recovering.

Feng Xiao said gently, "Please rest assured, this antidote has undergone countless trials. Once you take it, your illness will be cured."

Patient A's eyes glistened with tears. "Really? Can...can we really be cured?"

Feng Xiao nodded. "Of course it's true. You see, they've started to get better after taking the antidote. That's the best proof."

At this moment, an elderly man, leaning on a cane, slowly walked over. He was an elder in the village, his eyes filled with the vicissitudes of time. His voice trembled slightly: "Young people, where...where did you get this antidote?"

Feng Xiao respectfully replied, "It was His Majesty the Demon Emperor—Di Hong and His Highness the Crown Prince—Di Lin who disregarded their personal safety and ventured into dangerous territory to obtain the medicinal materials needed to refine these antidotes."

Patient B exclaimed in surprise: "The Demon Emperor and the Crown Prince? But didn't Lie Tian say that this is divine punishment for them, a curse on our demon race?"

Feng Xiao shook his head and snorted disdainfully, "Hmph, that's a rumor spread by Lie Tian to frame His Majesty the Demon Emperor and the Crown Prince. The disaster you suffered was created by him in collusion with the dark forces. It was a plague they spread, a curse from the dark forces. The Demon Emperor and the Crown Prince have been working hard to protect us, and this time they risked their lives to find an antidote for us."

The villagers began to whisper among themselves, clearly shocked by the information.

After a moment of contemplation, the elder looked up at Feng Xiao and said, "I never imagined that Lie Tian would disregard the lives of the demon people for his own selfish desires. He is truly disappointing..."

Feng Xiao continued, "Now that you have all seen through Lie Tian's true colors, you should let everyone know that the Demon Emperor and the Crown Prince are our protectors, not our enemies, while Lie Tian is the sinner who should be expelled."

At this moment, a young demon warrior named Windwalker stepped out from the crowd, his eyes filled with determination. He clenched his fists and said, "I want to join you, to expose the true face of Rift Sky, and to fight for a bright future for our demon race!"

Following Windwalker's statement, more and more demon race members began to respond, expressing their willingness to stand up and fight alongside Wind Howl and others for the truth and for the future of the demon race.

Feng Xiao looked around, his heart filled with gratitude: "Thank you all for your trust and support. Let us fight to the very end for the future of the demon race!"

With the distribution of the medicine, the plague and "curse" in various parts of the demon realm were effectively controlled, the patients recovered, the suspicions dissipated, and the claims of "divine punishment" and "curse" were also disproven.

The truth about Lietian's collusion with foreign enemies and poisoning his own people spread like wildfire throughout the demon realm, causing widespread resentment and shaking the people's resolve to Lietian's rule.

The tribes that were originally wavering or forced to submit, upon learning of Lie Tian's brutal nature, began to secretly contact Lu Lingxi and Yao, expressing their willingness to submit and offering assistance to those who had not yet submitted.

Sky Rift City --.

Lie Tian sat on his throne, listening to reports from all over the land. His expression grew increasingly grim. "The plague and the curse... have they been brought under control?" Lie Tian murmured in disbelief. His meticulously planned conspiracy had been so easily thwarted.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the Wolf Fang Guard commander, kneeling on the ground, reported tremblingly, "It is said...it is said to be a miraculous potion that can cure illnesses, dispel evil spirits, and...and..."

"And what?" Lie Tian demanded sharply.

"And those who delivered the medicine were saying... saying that these disasters were deliberately created by Your Majesty... by colluding with foreign enemies..." The Wolf Fang Guard commander's voice was so weak that it was almost inaudible.

"Nonsense!" Lie Tian suddenly stood up, letting out a deafening roar. Terrifying demonic power swept through the entire hall like a whirlwind, sending the kneeling Wolf Fang Guard commander flying. "That was divine punishment! Those traitors angered the heavens! They are slandering us! Slandering us!"

The masked man appeared silently at the entrance of the hall. He looked at the enraged Lie Tian and let out a cold laugh. His hoarse voice echoed in the hall, "The plan has failed."

Lie Tian turned around, staring intently at the masked man, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. "Why? Why did this happen? Even you said that the plague and curse were irreversible, how could they have found a solution so quickly?"

The masked man slowly walked into the main hall, his tone icy, "I have said before, that woman... is not simple. She not only possesses great power, but also seems to be proficient in alchemy and medicine. Perhaps... she has some abilities that even I cannot see through. You have underestimated her, and you have also underestimated human nature."

"Human nature?" Lie Tian scoffed. "Those foolish commoners, what do they know about human nature!"

“They don’t understand,” the masked man said coldly, “but they do know who can save them and who wants to harm them. You tried to frame them with disaster, but they fought back with hope. You lost.”

The masked man's words were like a sharp blade, piercing Lie Tian's heart. His prestige had plummeted, and his meticulously planned conspiracy had not only failed to consolidate his rule but had instead incited even greater public resentment.

Lie Tian roared in frustration. This defeat forced him to change his strategy. The woman who appeared like a savior had become his greatest threat, and he had to eliminate her at all costs.

Feng Xiao and Pan Shi Lie brought back the latest news and couldn't wait to report it to everyone.

Feng Xiao's voice trembled with excitement, "Miss Lu Ling, Your Highness, everyone, it's done! It's really done! The antidote and purifying potion you concocted are incredibly effective!"

After speaking, Feng Xiao unfolded a map made of animal hide, on which different colors were used to mark the situation in various parts of the demon realm. "The people we sent out have sent back news that the black spots on the Ironhoof Bull Clan in the west have begun to fade after taking the antidote, and their high fever has also subsided. Although they are still very weak, their lives are not in danger. The cursed tribes have also gradually regained their sanity after drinking water mixed with purifying potion. Although there are still some aftereffects, at least they no longer attack each other!"

Pan Shi Lie took over the conversation, his face full of relief, "At first, many tribes were skeptical of the medicine we sent, after all, the rumors spread by Lie Tian had a profound impact. But after the first, the second... were cured one after another, the situation was completely different. They are now very disappointed in Lie Tian and very grateful to His Majesty and His Highness."

He even mimicked their tone of voice, saying, "'His Majesty the Demon Emperor is the one who truly loves his people!' 'Li Tian colluded with foreign enemies and used such vicious methods to harm his compatriots; he's worse than a pig or a dog!' 'We almost wronged an innocent person and trusted a treacherous villain!'... These words are now spreading wildly among the various tribes in private!"

"Lietian even tried to block the news, and even sent troops to seize and destroy the medicine. He also wanted to continue to slander us for using evil magic to harm people, but it was all useless!" Feng Xiao added, "The demons who have personally experienced the effects of the medicine do not believe his nonsense at all, and instead aroused even greater public anger."

Pan Shilie excitedly slapped the stone table, “There’s more good news! Just yesterday, Niu Ben, the Iron Hoof Bull Clan Chief who had been wavering, personally sent his trusted confidant to secretly come over. He said that he has completely seen through Lie Tian’s true colors and is willing to lead the entire clan to join us in attacking Lie Tian. They not only brought thousands of Bull Clan warriors, but also a large amount of food and ore!”

Feng Xiao added, "Not only the Ironhoofed Bull Clan, but also the Mammoth Clan of the northern snowfields, the Crocodile Lizard Clan of the western Flowing Sand River, and several small and medium-sized tribes in the eastern mountains have sent envoys to express their willingness to join forces with His Majesty and His Highness to fight against Rift Sky!"

In no time, good news kept pouring in, and people's hearts were won over. The oppressive atmosphere that had been building up for days was swept away, and the flame of hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes.
