The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Fu Ying, whom Yun Yici cared about, had vanished without a trace, not even ashes remained.

Xiao Xun was helped back to his room to rest. Qingwei, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, looked ashamed and lowered her head to report the matter of Fu Chen and the other person to Xiao Xun.

"It was my carelessness that almost led to a serious mistake. Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yun."

Fu Chen and Fu Ying were captured and locked in a cage.

They never imagined that the two demons, facing a life-or-death situation, would resort to killing each other.

The Demon-Sealing Cage was also divided into levels. Fu Chen was able to break free of the cage after swallowing Fu Ying. The ninth level was unattended, which allowed Fu Chen to swagger out.

The city lord's mansion was now on high alert, searching everywhere for any remaining demonic energy.

When Yun Yici heard that Fu Ying's demon core had been swallowed by Fu Chen and his demonic energy absorbed, he couldn't help but gasp at the ruthlessness of the demon race.

Xiao Xun coughed and said, "This demon cannot be killed for the time being. Killing him will surely alert the demon realm."

She thought for a moment and said, "The demons in the Demon Realm are waiting for Fu Chen to send a message back to take action. Now Fu Chen has fallen into our hands."

"If only we could figure out their communication methods."

In this way, the initiative falls into their hands.

Yun Yici held the Seven Emotions Gourd in her hand, not daring to relax for a moment, for fear that Fu Chen would run out.

Zhujian's fire should be able to purify the demonic energy, but Zhujian has not yet fully recovered.

If the Seven Emotions Gourd were given to Qingwei and placed back on the ninth floor to be roasted, it's uncertain whether the Seven Emotions Gourd would turn around and protect Fuchen.

Once Fu Chen escapes and devours the demons imprisoned in the dungeon, he will become another great threat.

Yun Yici thought to himself that perhaps he could interrogate Fu Chen.

Before anyone could come up with a safe solution, the demon camp began to stir.

It should be understood that, unlike the strict discipline of human cultivators, this time the demon realm launched a joint attack, and the demons, warriors, and soldiers were all forcibly conscripted from the territories of various demon lords.

Too many people can cause trouble, let alone demons.

Zhong Tu and Tao Jiang were also very straightforward and brutal, killing anyone who caused trouble.

Thus, the so-called "camping out" demon army immediately became a joke.

A group of demons gathered together, and instead of engaging in bloodshed and slaughter with others, they turned into a vicious cycle of mutual killing.

This was the second day after they stopped halfway, and demons began to fall one after another.

Tao Jiang felt a headache coming on. They could command and control lower-level demons, but unlike the bloodline worship inherent in the nature of the demon race, they relied entirely on their power to suppress them.

Once they disappeared for a while, these demons went into chaos again and refused to be controlled.

The only option to divert the trouble eastward is to attack and capture Juexian City as soon as possible.

However, there was still no news from Fu Chen and Fu Ying, and the elite team that went to inquire outside Juexian City also did not reply.

He was never good at using his brain, and with this run of bad luck, he even drove out the beautiful witch who was singing and dancing in the building.

Zhong Tu happened to bump into these numb-faced witches coming out from inside.

She showed no pity for the weak and walked straight past the women into the room.

These witches were carefully raised and presented to Tao Jiang by the demonic cultivators below him.

If it weren't for the extreme difficulty of finding another woman like her along the way, Tao Jiang would have killed this group of witches long ago, given her personality.

Upon seeing Zhong Tu, Tao Jiang immediately stood up and anxiously asked, "Is there any news?"

Zhong Tu shook his head: "No, I thought Fu Chen would be able to come out and deliver the message, but it seems he also perished inside."

Tao Jiang kicked the table on the ground away: "You two idiots."

Zhong Tu said, "It's too late for you to scold them now. Fu Chen isn't stupid. All of them combined are more than one of us."

"The fact that they were still able to perish in Juexian City despite Xiao Xun's serious injuries shows that Juexian City had a powerful expert assisting them this time."

"Let's retreat."

Zhong Tu felt a headache coming on when he thought about the demon lord's threat.

With Fu Chen and Fu Ying as two scapegoats in front of her, she really didn't want to get involved in this mess.

Besides, Mo Xiao still needs them, so he might as well go back and accept the punishment; it won't endanger their lives anyway.

She had some reservations in mind. Among the major forces in the Demon Realm, the Imperial Decree faction was actually the most comfortable.

The emperor was not bloodthirsty and was easy to serve.

The problem is that the imperial edict does not accept demons as subordinates, only humans.

Humans and demons are natural enemies and cannot coexist.

The imperial edict also incurred the dissatisfaction of many high-ranking demons due to the forced abduction of cultivators everywhere.

To submit to the imperial edict is tantamount to standing against all the demons.

The Emperor will eventually ascend to immortality, and the demons who choose to follow him will immediately become the target of everyone's hatred.

This is why, even though Emperor Zhao was the easiest of the demon lords to get along with, he had the smallest territory and power.

Zhong Tu sighed. She was considering pledging allegiance to the Emperor, but in the long run, she knew that this choice would be her downfall.

Upon hearing Zhong Tu's words, Tao Jiang immediately showed displeasure: "All the demons have gathered here, and you want me to go back?"

"How will we report back to Lord Moxiao?"

"Just because of your unreliable guess?"

"Do you know how many years Lord Moxiao has been planning to attack Juexian City?"

Zhong Tu's lips twitched. Considering their years of working together, she said, "I'm clear-headed, but you're not."

“Look at Lord Di Zhao, he handles all matters, big and small, himself.”

"And Lord Moxiao, since you have been planning this for many years, why did you entrust it to us?"

If things go well, it's Mo Xiao's responsibility; if things go badly, it's theirs. They have to pay tribute regularly and also be wary of being swallowed up by Mo Xiao.

Upon hearing the words "Imperial Edict," Tao Jiang's anger surged to the top of his head: "Don't you dare mention that thieving bird!"

The delicate-skinned female cultivator he had just abducted was snatched away by the Emperor's decree before he could even savor her.

Now, the Demon Realm has reached a consensus after being ravaged by the Emperor's decree: stop stealing people to cultivate back, because stealing them back only benefits the Emperor, and you'll inevitably get a beating from him.

The emperor's edict said he was good at nothing but setting fires; he'd set fire to wherever he wasn't allowed to.

In recent years, to avoid fire, many demons who originally preferred human men and women have changed their tastes.

For example, Tao Jiang has suffered many misfortunes at the hands of the imperial edict, and now he can only keep demon singers and dancers.

Tao Jiang said disdainfully, "Does the Emperor's edict deserve to be called a Demon Lord? He does everything himself, which means he doesn't have a single capable demon under him."

"Alright, stop talking. So what if Fu Chen and the others didn't send a message? Xiao Xun is seriously injured. We'll just storm into Juexian City!"

Tao Jiang was determined to go her own way, which gave Zhong Tu a headache. If she ran away with her people alone, it would be difficult to explain to Mo Xiao.

At this moment, she desperately longed for the imperial edict, which was causing trouble everywhere, to suddenly appear and set fire to her house to save her from her predicament.

The demon soldiers stationed in the demon realm marched on again. Behind the army, a small, ugly demon bird stood on a branch far away, its round eyes glowing red.

After a long while, it turned around, flapped its wings, and flew away, disappearing in an instant.

Not long after, in the Immortal City, Yun Yici's bone bird trembled once again.
