The New Demon Emperor!

Li Xuanxiao nodded. "Don't I see that every day?"

The young man in brocade smiled and said, "Could you describe the appearance and demeanor of this Lord Li? That way, I'll know who our human race's great hero truly is."

Li Xuanxiao chuckled and thought, You've come to the right person!

"Lord Li Xuanxiao, he's truly..."

The young man in brocade immediately leaned forward, eager to listen.

"Tai Ku La!"

The young man in brocade was stunned, not understanding what "Tai Ku La" meant for a moment.

Seeing that the local native didn't get the reference, Li Xuanxiao felt a bit bored and put away his playful demeanor. "There's no need to ask who he is. The peace and tranquility of Pei Province are not the accomplishment of one person, but the merit of all Martial Artists."

"Everyone simply has different abilities and different responsibilities."

"As long as they've contributed and shone a light, they are all heroes of the human race!"

The young man in brocade raised an eyebrow slightly, then chuckled and cupped his fists. "Your perspective is indeed grand."

Li Xuanxiao waved his hand. "I observe that your bearing is extraordinary, and you don't seem like an ordinary civilian. With war breaking out everywhere, the peace of Violet Firmament City could be shattered at any moment."

"If you have the ability, it's best to make plans early and head to a safer city."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xuanxiao felt like he was spouting nonsense.

The entire Pei Province was currently under the invasion of demons. Where could he possibly escape to?

It might not even be safer than staying in Violet Firmament City!

He immediately spoke again. "Forget what I said. If I had to say where it might still be relatively safe, it would probably only be the Demon Slayer Division in Pei Province."

Upon hearing this, the young man in brocade revealed a smile with a deeper meaning. "No, quite the opposite..."

"Right now, the Demon Slayer Division in Pei Province is probably the most unsafe place in all of Pei Province."

Li Xuanxiao was taken aback. What was this guy talking about?

Inside the Demon Slayer Division of Pei Province, there were a full nine Mystic Realm Martial Artists! They were the strongest fighting force in Pei Province!

How could this guy say that the Demon Slayer Division of Pei Province was the most unsafe? How absurd!

"I'll pay for your tea. I hope we can meet again in the future."

Every word the young man in brocade spoke seemed to carry a hidden meaning, but he offered no explanation. After speaking, he smiled and left.

Li Xuanxiao took a sip of his tea, and his eyes suddenly widened!

Something's not right!

This guy clearly had something more to say, hinting at something. He had to stop him and get a clear answer!

What did he mean, the Demon Slayer Division of Pei Province was the most unsafe place?

Who exactly was this person?

Li Xuanxiao immediately ran downstairs but couldn't see the young man in brocade.

He called over the waiter. The waiter only said that the young man in brocade had paid and left, and didn't know which direction he went.

Li Xuanxiao's expression turned grim, and a bold and terrifying guess surged in his heart.

He leaped into the air, a dazzling golden light appearing in his eyes as he scanned the entire Violet Firmament City.

"No, not here, not here either..."

Li Xuanxiao's face darkened. To leave the vicinity of Violet Firmament City in such a short amount of time!

This person was either also a Mystic Realm Martial Artist.

Or...

Li Xuanxiao's expression became solemn. "The New Demon Emperor!"

In a city a thousand miles away from Violet Firmament City.

Smoke billowed, the city walls had collapsed, and the corpses of the defending Martial Artists lay scattered in pools of blood.

Dozens of demons were sitting together, and in their midst, a group of trembling civilians.

"Has the New Demon Emperor not returned yet?"

"We've been waiting here for several days!"

"When the New Demon Emperor went, who knows if he found that human named Li Xuanxiao."

"How could the New Demon Emperor suddenly become so interested in a human Martial Artist?"

"That's no ordinary human Martial Artist! One of my kin saw him from afar once. That Li Xuanxiao is definitely a Mystic Realm Martial Artist!"

Upon hearing this, the group of demons fell silent.

"That Li Xuanxiao has already become famous among the demon race in Pei Province. They all say that if you see Rainbow Light, run immediately, don't hesitate for a second!"

"What Rainbow Light?"

"It's that Li Xuanxiao's flying technique. When he flies, he's surrounded by dazzling rainbow light, which is utterly provocative."

"Many of our demon kin were provoked by such arrogant behavior, attacked him in anger, and ended up being killed!"

"This brat's heart is truly wicked. He's already so strong, yet he still uses these vile methods to trick demons into coming out to be killed!"

"What a pity... no matter how strong he is, it's useless now! Yu Province has already fallen, and the Demon Emperors should have arrived at the Pei Province Demon Slayer Division by now."

"This battle, our demon race will surely win!"

A Bear Demon suddenly stood up and walked towards a civilian.

It extended its massive bear paw, casually gripped the man's head, and lifted him into the air.

The surrounding civilians let out gasps of startled fear, all backing away from the man's location, afraid they'd be next.

The Bear Demon lifted the man, its maw gaping open, revealing sharp teeth stained with crimson blood, emitting a foul, sticky stench.

"Ahhhhhh—"

Screams echoed throughout the scene, and the next moment, the entire person was thrown into the Bear Demon's mouth.

With a teeth-grindingly crisp crunch, the screams instantly fell silent.

Trickles of blood flowed from the Bear Demon's mouth...

"Xiong Da, the New Demon Emperor said we shouldn't touch these mortals!"

"I was just too hungry. The New Demon Emperor hasn't returned for so long, I couldn't help myself."

"Aren't you afraid of being punished for disobeying the New Demon Emperor's will like this?"

"Damn it! You guys talk about the New Demon Emperor all day, have you forgotten which side you're on?"

"If it weren't for the Pei Province Demon Emperor's order, I wouldn't listen to that brat!"

"Can't do this, can't do that, we're demons, aren't we supposed to eat people!"

"Are we somehow more noble just because we're from the Myriad Demons Kingdom? I ate him anyway, let's see what it can do!"

Before the other demons could speak, a calm voice rang out: "Oh? Let's see what I can do?"

The noble young master in fine clothes walked out with his hands behind his back, appearing before the demons.

The demons almost instantly sat up straighter, their bodies involuntarily tensing, and they all silently lowered their heads.

The Bear Demon, which had been arrogantly shouting "What can you do to me?" just a moment ago, cowered almost instantly.

It immediately prostrated itself on the ground, begging for mercy repeatedly: "New Demon Emperor, please calm your wrath. I was just too hungry and couldn't control myself."

"Please, New Demon Emperor, for the sake of my Bear Demon clan's Demon Emperor, forgive my nonsensical words!"

The noble young master in fine clothes spoke plainly, his voice devoid of any discernible emotion: "I told you not to touch these mortals before I returned, didn't I?"

"Are all the demons here this ill-disciplined?"

"And let me remind you of one thing, the reason you have to obey my orders is not because the Pei Province Demon Emperor commanded it."

"It's because if you don't listen, I am perfectly capable of making you disappear from this world. Do you understand?"

"Cut off the hand that grabbed the person just now. This matter will be considered past."

The Bear Demon's expression flickered between uncertainty and anger. It looked at its blood-stained paw, hesitating to make a decision.

Unlike humans, the bodies of demons were their greatest asset. Once a limb was missing, their strength would be greatly reduced, and their future development would be severely impacted.

The noble young master in fine clothes glanced at it indifferently: "I won't say it a second time."

The Bear Demon took a deep breath, suddenly leaped up, and lunged at the noble young master in fine clothes: "I'll fight you to the death!"

The other demons were shocked and shouted, preparing to intervene.

A green mark appeared in the eyes of the noble young master in fine clothes: "You disappoint me too much."

The next second, a thick bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky!

The moment it struck the Bear Demon, the entire creature vaporized on the spot, dissipating into the heavens and earth.

Everything happened in a flash. The demons almost uncontrollably prostrated themselves on the ground, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

In that instant, they had all experienced a terrifying pressure akin to the end of the world.

Rumble—

Several seconds later, the thunderous roar finally echoed through the sky.

"Let's go."

The demons looked astonished: "New Demon Emperor, we're not continuing with the planned actions?"

The noble young master in fine clothes shook his head: "The objective has been achieved, there's no need to continue."
