Battle's Aftermath

The great battle came quickly and ended just as fast. Yaoguang down and paid reparations. Zhou Tong also decisively withdrew his troops and led the Demon Clan race across the Void the Great.

"After this battle, there may be news that is unfavorable to you, Overlord!" After returning to the Northern Region Demon Clan's Small World, the Peacock King suddenly spoke.

This battle was being watched closely by everyone. Initially, the Yaoguang Holy Land confidently adopted a defensive stance, but Zhou Tong didn't accept it, instead opting for a direct confrontation. If someone wanted to use this as a basis for exaggerated propaganda, it could easily become a stain on Zhou Tong's record, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

"It's alright, Yaoguang won't be staying there for long!" Zhou Tong said softly.

"Do you have some backup plan?" Yan Ruyu was also somewhat surprised.

"Why would I need a backup plan? Yaoguang was originally built on the tomb of the Ruthless Great Emperor. The clash between the Azure Lotus and the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Cauldron will definitely affect the things beneath Yaoguang. Perhaps before long, news will spread that Yaoguang will relocate." Zhou Tong was very certain.

Yaoguang's foundation consists of only two Saint King. One was killed in this battle, and the other is nearing the end of his life. He will definitely try to use his last bit of strength to relocate the Yaoguang Holy Land and change its location.

That holy Saint King is nearing its end; Yaoguang cannot wait any longer.

"The grave of the Ruthless Great Emperor?"

Everyone was taken aback, but then they began to understand.

No wonder the descendant of the Ruthless Great Emperor is in the Yaoguang Holy Land; no wonder Yaoguang has never produced Great Emperor, yet possesses an Supreme Emperor Weapon. It turns out that the Yaoguang Holy Land received the Fortune left behind by the Ruthless Great Emperor, which is why it has such a profound foundation.

"Thank you all for your help with the matter of the Yaoguang Holy Land. I once obtained a copy of the ' Demon Emperor Scripture - Immortal Platform Scroll ' by chance, and I will now give it to you all to study!" Zhou Tong looked at the demon kings around him and said solemnly.

At the same time, ten precious jade pieces appeared in his palm, each piece engraved with characters.

"I am ashamed, having accomplished nothing, and dare not accept the reward!" a demon king declined.

The other demon kings also spoke up. Even though some of them really wanted to read the scripture, they immediately followed suit after hearing what the previous demon king had said.

"That's not true. If it weren't for the combined might of all the kings, how could Yaoguang have so easily admitted defeat? You all deserve this scripture!" Zhou Tong smiled slightly and waved his hand, sending the ten precious jades flying into the hands of the ten demon kings.

"Thank you, Overlord!!" The demon kings were overjoyed and carefully put away the scriptures.

What I said earlier was just a polite gesture and a test.

Although these people had been subdued by Zhou Tong, most of them still harbored the idea of "following the dragon." They believed that if they submitted now, they would surely receive benefits once he Hegemon Body.

These words were also a test for them. If Zhou Tong couldn't offer anything at this point, they would definitely feel resentful. This was only the beginning; if he wouldn't even offer a small favor, who would believe that he would still remember them after he achieved the Hegemon Body?

After exchanging a few more polite words, the demon kings dispersed.

Only Zhou Tong and Yan Ruyu remained in the hall.

Yan Ruyu waved her hand, and Li Xiaoman appeared in front of the two of them.

Li Xiaoman is now crippled. The Dao Scripture and the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art she previously cultivated have all been destroyed. Even the many sources of origin she devoured through the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art have been extracted by Yaoguang, and even all memories related to the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art have been severed by Yaoguang.

Li Xiaoman now has no memory of anything related to the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art.

The main reason Yaoguang spared her life was to keep Zhou Tong and Ye Fan in check, but clearly, Yaoguang was overthinking it.

"Li Xiaoman, we meet again!" Zhou Tong greeted the beautiful woman in front of him with a leisurely air.

"Zhou Tong, thank you so much!" Li Xiaoman said sincerely.

"No need to thank me, and don't overthink it. Our friendship as classmates was mostly lost back when you ignored my advice and joined the Star Peak Sect in the Tai Xuan Sect," Zhou Tong said softly. "I only saved you because of my promise to Ye Fan."

Zhou Tong explained the whole cause and effect to Li Xiaoman very clearly.

"Star Peak ..." Li Xiaoman's eyes were unfocused and somewhat bitter, as if she were recalling the events of that year.

Back then, she was proud and arrogant, and did not heed Zhou Tong's advice; one could even say that there was an element of stubbornness involved.

When Zhou Tong and Ye Fan got together, Li Xiaoman naturally assumed it was Ye Fan's suggestion, merely something he said through Zhou Tong. The more she was told not to go to Star Peak, the more determined she became to go.

But it has now been proven that she made the worst choice, and decades of hard work were all for naught.

A bitter feeling welled up in her heart.

Zhou Tong looked at Li Xiaoman and said leisurely, "Ye Fan has returned to Earth. Given his personality, your parents and relatives will definitely receive preferential treatment. Don't worry too much. I'll give you two choices."

"First, stay in this Small World of the Demon Clan. With me here, I can ensure your safety for Lifetime and allow you to start your cultivation anew. Second, return to the Taixuan Sect, but not Star Peak, but Clumsy Peak. Zhang Wenchang, Lin Jia, and Liu Yiyi are all there. You can start your cultivation anew there."

"You have only these two paths to choose from. If you appear in the outside world at will, I think not only will the Heavenly Emperor Son and others not let you go, but the human race will also not tolerate someone who has cultivated the Heaven Swallowing Demonic Art."

After saying this, Zhou Tong fell silent, awaiting Li Xiaoman's choice.

Do I have any other options?

Li Xiaoman said, as if mocking herself, yet also with a sense of relief, "Send me back to the Taixuan Sect. After going through so many storms, only that plain and unremarkable Clumsy Peak is my final resting place!"

"Then get ready!" Zhou Tong casually grabbed something, Chessboard Array Patterns appeared.

Zhou Tong acted quickly and decisively. He had no real affection for Li Xiaoman to begin with, and even if he had in the past, it had long since dissipated. Naturally, he didn't want to keep such a troublesome person around.

Let's send him away early. If anything happens later, Ye Fan can handle it himself.

At the same time, he took out a precious jade and stuffed it into Li Xiaoman's hand, saying, "Give this precious jade to Li Ruoyu, and he will accept you!" As soon as he finished speaking, he directly pressed his palm onto the Chessboard Array Patterns, and with a flash of light, Li Xiaoman disappeared from the Demon Clan's Small World.

"Ye Fan is quite the womanizer; he even has such a beautiful wife!" After Li Xiaoman left, Yan Ruyu seemed to have thought of something and chuckled softly.

She couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had rejected Ye Fan back then, otherwise she didn't know how many times she would have been cheated on.

Besides Qin Yao, whom she had already figured out, she now saw Li Xiaoman as well.

"Alright, let's not talk about Ye Fan anymore."

"The prowess we displayed this time was far too overwhelming for the other holy lands Ancient Races. The cultivation world will definitely enjoy a long period of peace, and things should be a bit easier during this time!"

These days, sages are rare, and those who dare to cause trouble outside are basically kings Dao Severing. However, seeing the power of the Demon Clan led by Zhou Tong, which other forces would dare to cause trouble everywhere?

Even the usually arrogant Heavenly Emperor Son had to keep a low profile; at the very least, Heavenly Emperor Son needed to take a few more steps forward before daring to walk out.

"I doubt anyone would dare to accept your challenge!" Yan Ruyu smiled radiantly.

"Before I leave Big Dipper, there should be at least one or two more battles!" Zhou Tong said softly.

"Leave Big Dipper..."

Yan Ruyu leaned against Zhou Tong: "Before leaving Big Dipper, you were mine..."
