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

The low-ranking demons, who were coerced into surrounding Yun Yici and the others, were so frightened by the easy capture of their master that they fled in defeat.

Unfortunately, they hadn't run far when a tongue of fire engulfed their bodies as they fled.

One after another, their screams were engulfed by terrifying, scorching flames.

Burning, boiling.

The crimson fire and the black demonic realm intertwined, resembling a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​fire in the eighteenth level of hell.

No one spoke until the terrifying flames died down and disappeared, and all the demons in the city were completely wiped out.

The buildings in the city remained intact, and the once bustling demon city instantly turned into a silent, dead city.

The magic ball in Shen Huaichuan's hand was completely terrified.

"what!!!!"

Shen Huaichuan squeezed hard, and the pitch-black magic ball let out a shrill scream.

"My lord!! My lord!! My lord, spare my life!!"

Yun Yici used his sword to locate the city's center: "That tallest building over there is probably the demon's lair."

Everyone looked in the direction she pointed and sure enough, they saw a strangely styled black demon palace standing in the distance.

The Emperor decreed, "It doesn't matter anyway. I've already wiped out all the demons in the city, so we can go wherever we want."

Even so, it's still somewhat inconvenient to be on the street.

Yun Yici directly attached a connected communication talisman to a hidden spot at the entrance of the Demon City using the force of the wind.

"Let's go, that way we'll be able to spot any other demons entering the city immediately."

After discussing it, the group headed straight for the towering demon palace.

Because the imperial decree had wiped out the demons, they traveled without hindrance.

But once they entered the Demon Palace, they discovered that the magnificent palace was all show and no substance, an empty shell.

The emperor casually glanced around and knew that there was nothing of value in this demon palace.

"Tsk."

The emperor casually picked up a scroll from the table, opened it, and found it filled with orders to conscript demon soldiers: "Are you demons really that poor?"

Where did you hide the good stuff?

The magic ball in Shen Huaichuan's hand trembled: "My lord, what makes you say that?"

"The human realm is already heavily guarded, so it's difficult for us to gain an advantage."

"Moreover, each of our cities has to pay tribute to the Demon King every year, so we simply don't have any extra treasures."

Yun Yici was carefully perusing the books on the table when she heard this and looked up: "Every city has to pay tribute?"

How many cities do you have?

The magic ball honestly replied, "The large ones are all-powerful demons, the smaller ones are about a dozen or so, and there are also high-ranking nobles who pay tribute to them through their families."

The imperial edict quickly grasped the key point: "So, the highest rank now is the royal family, the next rank is the nobles, and what about you?"

The magic ball grumbled and said reluctantly, "I am below the nobility."

Yun Yici put down the scroll in her hand for the moment: "It seems that the demon race has already developed a class system."

"Look at this."

Yun Yici singled out the letter from earlier: "Besides recruiting soldiers in Shanghai, there is also the establishment of a raiding squad."

"The looting team must pay tribute of five-tenths of the spiritual flesh, magical artifacts, and all resources they steal from the human realm before they can leave the city."

So it's not that the Demon City doesn't have tolls, but rather that their tolls aren't spirit stones.

The rulers forced the demons to form raiding squads to attack the human world in order to plunder resources.

Rong Xuan and the others looked extremely grim. They had already seen the so-called spiritual flesh on the main streets of the city.

Shen Huaichuan said to the magic ball in his hand, "Tell me about those two demon kings."

"You're following someone named Gu Ruo. Where is he? And where is the other Demon King?"

That's a very important question.

The light bird always wanted to fly northwest.

According to Xi Huan, the two demon kings are said to be kings who do not meet, so they will know which demon king to seek out.

With only the thought of saving his own life on his mind, Moqiu said mournfully, "Lord Guruo is in the Demon Capital, and Lord Jiumeng is in the Heavenly Punishment City."

"There is a hidden compartment under my desk, and inside it is a map of the Demon Realm."

The emperor, who was closest to the desk, subconsciously groped around in the spot indicated by the magic ball. When he found a loose spot, he pressed it down without hesitation.

But as soon as the imperial edict was pressed down, a terrifying demonic pressure was released.

At the same time, Shen Huaichuan also released his pressure to resist.

Two terrifying demonic auras clashed, and the already dim sky was completely covered by dark clouds.

The demon palace where everyone was located also went dark in an instant.

"Such a powerful aura! Who are you? Besides that vile woman Jiu Meng, is there such a powerful being in the Demon Realm?"

A deep, majestic voice came from the void.

The magic ball cried out joyfully, "Lord Guruo!! Save me!! Save me!!"

"This demon is in league with human cultivators. I personally witnessed him colluding with humans to come to the demon realm!!"

"them......"

Shen Huaichuan squeezed his fingers hard, and the magic ball was instantly crushed. His unfinished words came to an abrupt end with his tragic death.

Gu Ruo felt no anger at the tragic death of his subordinate; instead, he was filled with interest in the demon he had never met.

"Come to Shanghai and find me. I can give you everything you want."

Shen Huaichuan pulled a handkerchief from his sleeve and was wiping between his fingers when he heard this. He looked up and said, "If I wanted your life, would you give it to me too?"

Gu Ruo laughed wildly: "If you can defeat me, then what's wrong with that?"

"But my life isn't so easy to take."

"In the Demon Realm, there are only me and Jiu Meng now. You are colluding with the human race. Could it be that you intend to join Jiu Meng?"

Shen Huaichuan looked at Di Zhao, who also did not expect that the short-lived demon who was strangled would still try to scheme against them before he died.

He held his breath and thoroughly searched the entire desk before finally finding a tattered map of the demon realm.

The locations of Shanghai and Tianfa City are completely opposite.

To be precise, Heavenly Punishment City is located in the northwest direction.

Yun Yici quickly bent her index finger and made the number "nine" with Shen Huaichuan.

Shen Huaichuan understood her meaning, and said to Gu Ruo, who was still waiting for his answer, "Alright, then you can wait for me to come to you."

Gu Ruo chuckled and said, "If that's the case, then the pledge of loyalty must be presented."

"Remove your oppressive aura. These few cultivators, and these three..."

Shen Huaichuan glanced at the imperial edict, and then actually withdrew his oppressive aura.

In an instant, Yun Yici and the others were exposed to Gu Ruowei's oppressive power like boiled eggs that had been stripped naked.

Without Shen Huaichuan's protection and facing Gu Ruo's oppressive aura, even Yun Yici felt a long-lost sense of suffocation.

Not to mention Rong Xuan and the others, whose cultivation levels were even lower than hers.

However, Yun Yici believed that Shen Huaichuan had other intentions behind this move.

Along the way, everyone placed the utmost trust in each other.

Even at this critical moment, when Shen Huaichuan chose to let them face Gu Ruo directly, not a single person voiced any doubt.

Everyone picked up their swords.

They believed in Shen Huaichuan!
