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

The arrogant Demon Lord of Destruction was slain by this handsome young man without uttering a sound.

This contrast terrified all the demons, who then began to retreat.

The devil is a creature driven by those in high positions; he is a being that is driven by those in power.

Just as chaos erupted in the Demon City, before the humans could even rejoice, a terrifying pressure burst forth from the young man who had easily killed Qiang Li with a single sword strike.

"From this day forward, the Demon Realm shall respect me, and those who disobey shall die."

That young man was also a demon!

In an instant, joy and sorrow turned. The demons cheered with delight. The new demon lord was brave and fierce. Was this not a great fortune for the demon race?

In contrast, the humans were all dumbfounded; they were stunned and bewildered.

The "savior" we finally got is nothing more than another demon vying for power with Qianli!

Zhang Yiqing also stood there, stunned, as he and Yun Yici had traveled together.

They felt that the young man named Shen Huaichuan was relatively approachable among the crowd.

But he is actually a demon?

Shen Huaichuan didn't care about the suspicions of the crowd below.

He said, "All demons, leave the Demon Capital immediately. All humans and demons in the Demon Realm shall be sent to the Demon Capital."

"Anyone who secretly hoards property shall die."

"Imperial edict."

The emperor scoffed, "Since you're so powerful, why did you even call me?"

Despite the emperor's decree, he still felt uneasy throughout the journey.

The demons of Huangling Domain have become more tyrannical than those of Xuanling Domain, and they also enjoy taking pleasure in humans.

There is no other meddlesome phoenix in Huangling Domain.

Under Shen Huaichuan's suppression, the imperial edict directly signed contracts with several demon lords under the control of Qiangli, and then assigned responsibility to each demon.

The Emperor said with a forced smile, "Within three days, send all the humans from the Demon Realm to the Demon Capital, or I will begin burning them down to the Demon Lord."

Led by the barely surviving Demon Lord, the demon army retreated in disarray, like a tidal wave.

Their hurried and disheveled appearance left all humans feeling as if they were in a dream.

Someone in the silent crowd suddenly burst into tears, and then a series of cries followed.

Amidst the cries, there was joy, relief, and countless grievances and despair.

In the demon realm, they are treated like pigs and dogs, slaves, and are even deprived of the right to cry. They live like walking corpses, watching their kin slowly die.

Zhang Yiqing could no longer hold back and burst into tears as well.

Perhaps Yun Yici and the others can really help the Zhang family lineage break free from the Xue family's clutches.

It must be said that under the rule of power, everything is easier.

The emperor issued a three-day death order, and within those three days, countless humans were sent to the Demon Capital.

The once bustling Demon City, the capital city that high-ranking demons were proud of, has been replaced by the human race.

Guided by the humans, Yun Yici and the others found the Demon Palace of Qianli, killed all the demons who had stayed in the palace to serve without knowing why, and rescued all the human cultivators in the palace.

However, the human cultivators in the Demon Palace are quite special.

Unlike ordinary people who can be sold at will on the roadside, they are all cultivators, although their cultivation level is only up to the Golden Core stage.

Among them were both men and women, all exceptionally beautiful. After interrogation, it was learned that they were beauties trained by the Xue family from a young age.

As their name suggests, they were pampered by the Xue family from a young age and cultivated the Hehuan Dao. When their appearance was in full bloom, they would take the Youth Preservation Pill.

Once they were fully grown, the Xue family used them to curry favor with the demon and monster races.

Like a carefully cultivated flower with all its thorns removed.

Despite possessing the cultivation level of a Golden Core cultivator, he was extremely weak and had never even touched a weapon.

Mu Yunjian said, "Kill them. They've been raised by the Xue family since they were little, and they've probably been brainwashed long ago. The information they get out of them is probably all fake."

Zhang Yiqing said with a pang of pity, "They are all pitiful people. Because they are good-looking, they were taken away from their parents when they were young and raised to be like this."

Yun Yici compromised, saying, "Let's keep it locked up for now."

Once they've dealt with the Xue family, they won't be afraid of these few sycophantic cultivators causing trouble.

Over the next three days, everyone was busy dividing up the human population in the city, distributing medicine, and having those in better condition take care of the sick and disabled.

The demon lords, who had finally completed their mission, came to Shen Huaichuan with trepidation to report back.

There were six of them when they left, but only five returned.

If you ask how one of them disappeared, well, it's because he had ulterior motives as soon as he left Shanghai, and then spontaneously combusted in front of the rest of them, leaving not even a speck of ashes behind.

The five demon lords, who used to be so domineering, now bowed their heads and waited for the imperial decree to be reviewed.

Apart from Zhang Yiqing, who was busy running around in Shanghai rescuing people, and Rong Xuan, who was helping to manage supplies, everyone else was there at this time.

Everyone knew that the Demon Lord was missing, but no one asked.

Yun Yici said, "I remember Qiangli saying before that the Xue family would be coming?"

When do the Xue family members usually arrive?

One of the five demon lords mustered his courage and glanced at the imperial edict.

The emperor's gaze was sharp as a knife: "Answer the truth when asked a question."

The demon lord was startled and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, the Xue family will be coming."

"It usually happens once every twenty years."

"This year marks the twentieth anniversary."

"They are usually precious magical artifacts, and also beautiful women."

Yun Yici said, "So that's how it is. Has the news of Qiangli's death been spread?"

The Demon Lord asked in confusion, "Then... back then, the Demon Realm must have known about the awe-inspiring power of the Great Ones."

"As for the Xue family, they are well-informed and will probably find out in a few days."

Yun Yici and the others exchanged glances, all having the same thought—the Xue family would definitely send someone to investigate the situation in the Demon Realm this year, and perhaps even sooner.

It seems they need to be prepared.

Shen Huaichuan asked casually, "Before the demon realm was destroyed, who ruled it?"

"The Xue family wouldn't dare to offend me like this, would they?"

The Demon Lord quickly smiled ingratiatingly and said, "How could the Xue family dare?"

"Whatever you want, the Xue family will give you."

"The Demon Realm has changed hands many times over the years; even Qiangli has only been in power for three hundred years."

Besides, these killing gods, humans, demons, and monsters mingling together, is truly a strange tale in the world.

The demon lords spent three days away, pondering for a long time, but still couldn't figure out where this group of people had come from.

The cultivation resources in the human realm are monopolized by the Xue family, and these powerful human cultivators seem to have fallen from the sky.

Having received the answer he wanted, Shen Huaichuan dismissed the demon lords.

The next day, everyone began to move the humans in the city to a safe place to avoid alerting the enemy.

However, within a month, news came from the demon envoy that the Xue family was heading towards the demon realm.

After receiving the news, led by Shen Huaichuan, the group temporarily moved to the Demon Palace in Qiangli.

The demon lords were overjoyed, thinking that Shen Huaichuan had finally come to his senses and wanted to rebuild the glory of the demon race.

Shanghai must also regain its former prosperity and glory.

But the imperial edict poured cold water on their hopes: "Find some high-ranking demons and have them disguised on the streets. If the Xue family discovers anything amiss, they will die."
