Lu Lingxi leaned on the Azure Dragon Sword, her face pale and bloodstains hanging from the corner of her mouth. The continuous fierce battles had almost exhausted all the spiritual power in her body. At this moment, she felt dizzy and her body was about to collapse.

"Yao Yao..."

Seeing this, Nalan Rongzhi flashed to her side, pulled her into his arms, placed his palm on her back, and slowly channeled a gentle energy into her to relieve her injuries.

He looked at Lu Lingxi's pale face, his eyes filled with heartache, "It's alright, it's all over."

Lu Lingxi leaned against his strong chest, feeling the continuous flow of energy. Her tense nerves finally relaxed, and she nodded weakly, her voice tinged with weariness, "Yes... it's finally over."

On the other side, Di Lin looked at the spot where Lie Tian had disappeared, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He couldn't quite explain it, but he took a deep breath to calm his turbulent emotions. He then approached Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi and bowed solemnly, "Master, Demon Lord, thank you... If it weren't for your help, I..."

Lu Lingxi interrupted him, smiling slightly, "We are partners who have gone through thick and thin together, there's no need for thanks."

Just then, hurried footsteps and shouts came from outside the main hall.

"Owner!"

"Your Highness!"

"Miss Lu Ling!"

Baihu, Youming, Fengxiao, Panshilie, and the others, covered in blood and exhausted, rushed into the main hall. When they saw that Lietian was dead, their faces showed unbelievable joy!

"We won...we really won!" At this moment, even Pan Shilie couldn't help but shed tears. He knelt down on one knee with a thud. "Your Majesty, Your Highness, our sacrificed people...can rest in peace!"

"Great! That scoundrel Lietian is finally dead!" Xiong Yuan excitedly pumped his fist, but then he remembered something and his expression darkened. He looked at Pan Shi Lie with sympathy and respect in his eyes.

Feng Xiao was also very excited. He quickly stepped forward, carefully checked Di Lin's condition, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright.

Youming plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, a signature wicked smile on his face: "Hehe, finally taken care of. Those bastards outside were really annoying, they almost killed me!"

The white tiger transformed into human form, its honest face full of relief. It walked to Lu Lingxi Yao's side and asked in a deep voice, "Master, are you alright?"

Lu Lingxi shook her head: "I'm fine, I just felt a bit drained."

At this moment, a fiery red streak of light shot in from outside and landed steadily in front of Lu Lingxi Yao, revealing the sexy and fiery figure of Zhu Que.

"Master, are you alright? I sensed a violent energy fluctuation coming from your side just now, I was so worried!" As soon as Zhuque landed, she anxiously looked Lu Lingxi up and down, her eyes full of concern.

Upon seeing Suzaku, a hint of surprise flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. "Suzaku? What are you doing here? Over in the Demon Realm..."

According to the previous arrangement, Zhuque should stay in the Demon Realm with Huanying and Huanyue to help Xiling Qianluo stabilize the situation and prevent Lu Lingqingyue from causing any more trouble.

Upon hearing this, Zhuque revealed a smug smile. She explained, "Don't worry, Master, everything is fine in the Demon Realm. Chief Xiling sent me!"

She cleared her throat and continued, "Didn't the Demon Lord send a message to the Xiling Clan Chief through a secret method? Although it was just a few words, it roughly said that the battle situation here is urgent and reinforcements may be needed. After receiving the message, the Xiling Clan Chief knew that you must be in trouble."

Zhuque vividly described, "Although the Demon Realm is relatively stable now, Clan Chief Qianluo is still worried. Huanying has to preside over the defensive array, and Huanyue is responsible for patrolling the four directions, so they can't spare the time. After thinking it over, Clan Chief Qianluo felt that I was the fastest and strongest, and the most suitable to come and provide support. So, she used a top-secret spatial teleportation artifact from the Demon Palace's treasury. That thing is very powerful; it can perform short-distance interdimensional teleportation. Although it consumes a lot of resources and the coordinates are not very stable, Clan Chief Qianluo used it without even blinking an eye in order to get here to help you as soon as possible!"

Zhuque's face showed a trace of lingering fear: "That magic weapon was quite reliable. Although it teleported me to a place that was still a bit far from Rift Sky City, I was able to sense the battle atmosphere here, especially your spiritual energy fluctuations, so I immediately rushed over at full speed. I happened to see that the battle was raging at the South Gate, so I helped out a little."

Upon hearing Zhuque's explanation, Lu Lingxi and Nalan Rongzhi exchanged a glance, a warm feeling welling up in their hearts. Xiling Qianluo's trust and her willingness to use precious magic treasures to send support deeply moved them.

"Thank you, Aunt Qianluo," Lu Lingxi said softly, her heart filled with gratitude for the resilient and intelligent woman.

Nalan Rongzhi nodded slightly. Although his expression remained indifferent, a subtle tenderness flickered deep in his eyes.

Lu Lingxi Yao composed herself and glanced at everyone. "Although Lie Tian is dead and the Black Abyss experts have been killed, the battle in the city is not completely over yet. We must stabilize the situation as soon as possible."

She looked at Di Lin: "Di Lin, it's time for you to take charge now."

Di Lin nodded, channeling his demonic power, and his voice once again resounded throughout the city:

"Listen up, all soldiers and citizens of Rift Sky City! The experts sent by Rift Sky and Black Abyss have been slain here by us!"

"I am Di Lin, son of Di Hong and Crown Prince of the Demon Realm. From this day forward, I will restore order to the Demon Realm and reorganize the court!"

"All remaining rebels of the Rift Sky who are still resisting, lay down your weapons and surrender immediately to avoid death. Those who remain obstinate and resist will be killed without mercy!"

"All demon brethren in the city, please remain calm and stay at home. Do not panic. Our allied forces are a righteous army and will never indiscriminately kill the innocent. We will send people to wipe out the remaining enemies shortly!"

On the city wall, the Black Armor Guards and the garrison, who were still putting up a stubborn resistance, were devastated when they heard the news of Lie Tian's death. Their will to resist crumbled instantly, and some soldiers who were already dissatisfied and had no other choice threw down their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

"Lietian is dead, we no longer need to risk our lives for him!"

"Let's surrender! We surrender!"

As the first person surrendered, more and more people chose to give up resistance. Only a few die-hard loyalists of Lietian still tried to resist with red eyes, but they were quickly overwhelmed by the high-spirited Allied soldiers.

The shouts of battle at the breach in the south gate gradually subsided, replaced by the sounds of weapons falling to the ground and cries of surrender. Upon learning that their commander was dead, the defenders at the west and north gates also gave up resistance.

Inside the main hall of the city lord's mansion, Di Lin issued instructions methodically:

"White Tiger, Chief Niu Ben, please immediately lead your troops to take control of the South Gate, accept the surrendered soldiers, maintain order, and strictly prohibit looting and harassment!"

"Youming, Chief Feidan, please take control of the West Gate and North Gate, collect weapons, and take inventory of prisoners!"

"Zhuque, patrol the skies above the entire city, deterring villains and preventing anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to commit evil!"

"General Fengxiao, Chief Panshi, please immediately organize manpower to treat the wounded. Whether they are soldiers of our allied forces or surrendered enemy soldiers, as long as they have a breath left, do everything you can to save them!"

"Strategist Cang, General Xiong, Chief Yinghong, please take up your posts at the City Lord's Mansion and assist me in handling the aftermath, tallying the battle results, and appeasing the representatives of the various tribes!"

"Yes!" the crowd answered in unison and quickly sprang into action.

Nalan Rongzhi walked to the three corpses of Black Abyss experts, squatted down, and carefully examined them, trying to find more clues about the Black Abyss organization, the Void Gate, and the Altar of Myriad Realms.

Lu Lingxi walked to Di Lin's side and said softly, "Di Lin, you have done very well. Next, there is still a long way to go to appease the people, rectify the court, eliminate the remnants of the Rift Heaven, and restore order to the demon realm."

Di Lin nodded heavily, “Master, rest assured, I understand. I will never let down my father’s expectations, the sacrificed warriors, or the trust of the thousands of people in the demon realm!”

Looking at Lu Lingxi's pale face, he added, "Master, you, the Demon Lord, and all our companions have worked hard. Please rest well now. Leave the rest to me."

Lu Lingxi smiled slightly and nodded. She knew that Di Lin was already capable of handling things on his own.
