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

Several demon lords wanted to curse as they listened.

Shanghai has always belonged to their demon race, so why would they need to pretend?

The leading demon lord, steeling himself, asked, "What does Your Excellency mean?"

It has been three days since Qiangli died.

None of the demon lords knew the names of this group, so they could only address them as "Your Excellency" to show their respect.

The Emperor decreed: “Be the same as you were when the Xue family came to Shanghai before, this time.”

The Demon Lord coughed lightly: "But in the past, all humans were sent away by the Venerables, this..."

"Actually, when we were incorporating humans into the demon realm these past three days, the demons below were indignant. It was only because of our strong suppression that a major disturbance was prevented."

"Even cultivators in the human realm don't treat these fellow humans as human beings, so why provoke public outrage for the sake of those humans?"

"If you can return those humans to their masters and restore the previous order, the demons below will be more convinced of your authority, and you can then enjoy peace and happiness."

Sacrifice those lowly humans, and everyone will be happy.

The other four Demon Lords echoed, "Indeed, Your Majesty may not yet understand the situation in our realm, hence your momentary confusion."

The emperor's face darkened: "Are you threatening us?"

Shen Huaichuan stood up calmly: "Then let him be angry. Qiangli once said that mortals are ants in his eyes."

"Now I see you as nothing more than ants."

"I'm not killing you because I don't have a better alternative at the moment, not because I absolutely have to kill you."

"If you think I'm easy to fool, you're being naive."

“My name is Shen Xiu. No one in the Demon Palace is allowed to reveal a single word about my whereabouts except for me.”

"From this day forward, the Demon Realm shall no longer enslave or take pleasure in the human race."

The faces of the demon lords turned pale and then red; their plans had completely failed.

......

However, the Xue family group, who had just entered the Demon Realm, discovered something different from usual as soon as they ventured deep into the heart of the Demon Realm.

"Fourth Uncle, I have a feeling that something's wrong with these monsters?"

On a flying spirit ship, a young man dressed in exquisite clothes looked hesitantly at the scene below.

Upon hearing the young man's words, a portly middle-aged male cultivator walked to the side of the boat.

He glanced down dismissively: "Didn't they say the Demon Realm has changed masters? It's normal for things to change a bit."

"I just don't know what the new Demon Lord's temperament is like, or whether the people we train will suit his taste."

The buildings on the spirit boat were filled with ethereal music, where the seductive cultivators they had carefully trained for many years were practicing their skills, hoping to catch the eye of that demon lord.

After the middle-aged male cultivator finished speaking, he sneered, "Why am I telling you all this, Ah Xu? Don't worry, the Demon Realm has no reason to start a war with us."

"Before you disembark from the spirit boat, remember to take a disguise pill to avoid being targeted by those blind demons and causing trouble."

"In this godforsaken place, those who are good-looking don't care who the demons are."

The young man quickly replied, "Yes, Fourth Uncle, there is still so much I need to learn."

The middle-aged male cultivator was very satisfied with his attitude.

He added, "Your father sent you here to broaden your horizons in the Demon Realm so that you can take over as the head of the Xue family in the future. You don't need to be too nervous."

"Anyway, we'll just agree to whatever that demon lord wants."

"As for the rest, we'll make plans after we leave the Demon Realm."

......

Under the watchful eyes of Yun Yici and others, the Xue family arrived in Shanghai as scheduled.

The Xue family's spirit boat was moored on a vast but barren open space outside Shanghai.

As the long ladder of the spirit boat was lowered, a few test warriors descended to confirm safety before the middle-aged male cultivator led the young man down the spirit boat.

A demon lord, under Shen Huaichuan's orders, led his subordinates and carriages to wait for the Xue family's arrival at the spirit boat's mooring place.

Upon seeing the Demon Lord, the middle-aged male cultivator's fat, oily face broke into a wide smile: "Crimson Flower Demon Lord, it's been a long time."

He spoke loudly, introducing the seemingly ordinary young man beside him who had taken a disguise pill: "This is my family's son, Xue Zixu."

The Crimson Demon Lord, his face expressionless, only wanted to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible and send it to the Demon Palace.

Chi Hua said coldly, "Xue Han, there's no need for pleasantries. I'll take you to see the Demon Lord."

Xue Han didn't expect to suffer a defeat right from the start.

He apologized sheepishly, "Demon Lord Chihua, is something troubling you?"

For the past one or two hundred years, Xue Han has been the one who has dealt with the Demon Realm in the Xue family.

It was precisely because of this ominous feeling that he feared he might one day be targeted by the demons.

Therefore, unlike most cultivators who are tall and slender, he cultivated himself into a greasy, overweight man.

That said, Xue Han believed he knew the Demon Realm very well.

In the past, whenever he brought people over, these demon lords would vie to greet them.

As for the reason, it's naturally because they had prepared "pour-off money" for these demon lords well in advance.

Xue Han thought he had found the crux of the problem.

He lowered his voice and approached the Crimson Flower Demon Lord, whispering furtively, "Demon Lord, I've specially chosen a man and a woman just for you. I'll have them secretly delivered to your residence later..."

The Crimson Flower Demon Lord slapped the person away with his backhand, then jumped far back.

The Crimson Flower Demon Lord's face was ashen, and he said venomously, "Don't try to harm me."

Is Xue Han afraid that he'll die too slowly?

He was cursed with a strange curse; the moment he thought of anything, he would die!

You can't even think about it; to even think about it is a sin!

Xue Zixu was startled by the sudden outburst of the Crimson Flower Demon Lord, but his first reaction was to support Xue Han.

"Fourth Uncle, what should we do?"

Xue Han was also startled, and a sense of panic that the situation was out of control began to spread in his heart.

However, the Crimson Flower Demon Lord reacted first and changed the subject: "The Demon Lord wishes to see you, please."

Before the uncle and nephew could refuse, the Crimson Flower Demon Lord had already sent people to bring over the demon beast mount.

Xue Han still wanted to use their past relationship to plead for him.

He forced a smile and said, "Crimson Flower Demon Lord, what is the meaning of this?"

"Is this the Demon Lord's intention?"

The Crimson Flower Demon Lord secretly thought that this was because the Demon City had undergone tremendous changes.

If we can't pretend, then we'll just have to blind the Xue family.

The Crimson Flower Demon Lord said, "Since this is the first time the Demon Lord has met with the Xue family, I was worried that I might not be polite enough, so I specially prepared a carriage for him."

"There are too many of you assassins. Pick a few to take with you."

"As for those beauties..."

The Crimson Flower Demon Lord paused, afraid that bringing him in would offend Shen Xiu and the others.

However, if Shen Xiu Demon Lord's group takes a liking to one of them and learns about the interesting aspects, they might gradually change their minds.

The Crimson Flower Demon Lord licked his lips: "...Bring him in."

Anyway, it was that red-robed demon cultivator who said that everything should be done the same way as when the Xue family came before.

He did this entirely according to orders from above.

Feeling he had accomplished a great task, the Crimson Flower Demon Lord waited until the Xue family had chosen their people and boarded their carriages before immediately leading the Xue family to the Demon Palace.
