The jade pendant in Su Xiangxue's hand had the word "Li" written on it, and he didn't know what it meant.

"Whatever, I definitely have to go and see this Mulberry Divine Palace once I find the Foundation Establishment Method."

Bai Qiuran took the jade pendant from Su Xiangxue's hand.

"Let's deal with the important matters at hand first."

Su Xiangxue continued to lead her people to subdue the prisoners of war, while Bai Qiuran led a few people down into the Dungeon and found the Black Snake King and his three companions, who were Dungeon by the White Bear King.

They were not Bai Qiuran. When they faced the Splash-Ink Immortal, they were quickly defeated and rendered unable to rise again. Now, these four Demon Kings were shackled and hung side by side on a wall, still Consciousness.

Bai Qiuran had them splashed with cold water to wake them up. Several Demon King groaned as they awoke, and upon seeing Bai Qiuran in their blurry vision, they were immediately jolted awake.

They were initially startled, then their faces lit up with joy as they asked, "Sword Ancestor, you've escaped your predicament?"

"Yes."

Bai Qiuran nodded with a smile.

"You're awake. The civil war is over."

"What?"

The Black Snake King struggled for a moment, then asked, "What was the result?"

"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Bai Qiuran countered with a question.

The four Demon Kings were visibly uneasy. After a moment's thought, the Black Snake King hesitated and said, "Then let's hear the good news first."

"Yes, the good news is that Xiangxue led the people of the Western Demon Realm to victory, and the Northern Demon Realm and the Imperial Capital have surrendered."

Bai Qiuran nodded and said.

"What? We won?"

The four Demon Kings were overjoyed, then the Flower King cautiously asked, "And what's the bad news?"

"Yes, Xiangxue has no military training and wiped out all your troops."

Bai Qiuran looked apologetic.

"There are only about twenty people left now, sorry."

The White Bear King and the White Fox King fled back to the Northern Demon Realm. Cang Huangyu led the Demon Emperor Court and a group of Demon King to surrender. Looking across the Demon Realm, there was no longer any opponent who could fight against Su Xiangxue. It can be said that the Demon Realm has now been unified by Su Xiangxue, achieving the ideal result planned by the Black Snake King and others.

However, at the same time, the power of the Western Demon Realm has been exhausted by Su Xiangxue's scheme. The Black Snake King's plan was good, luring Bai Qiuran into the Monster Race's civil war. Indeed, there was no force in the Demon Realm that could stop him.

However, he misjudged one thing. While the map of the First Ancestor Demon Emperor's Tomb was indeed crucial to Bai Qiuran, it did not mean that Bai Qiuran would completely disregard the Human Race in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou because of the map.

A unified Monster Race that has completely abandoned the concept of bloodline hierarchy would be an absolute threat to the Human Race across the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou.

The Holy Dynasty of that time was able to defeat the Demon Realm and deter them from further attempts to invade because it was a unified and powerful Immortal Dynasty. According to the Wisdom Immortal, the Holy Dynasty also paid a considerable price.

To put it bluntly, the Human Race today has only just taken the first step towards revival after the Human-Demon War.

Although the total number of Monster Race is far less than that of Human Race in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou, those who can be called Monster Race must at least be demons capable of Shapeshift, comparable to Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

After hundreds or thousands of years of development, the number of Cultivators in such a race is definitely much greater than that of Human Race.

At least within the current Ten Lands of Jiuzhou, apart from the top sects of the Righteous Path Alliance or the Demonic Sect Alliance joining forces, it is absolutely impossible for the Human Race to mobilize tens of thousands of Monster Race at the Golden Core Stage or above to form an army to fight, as was the case in this civil war.

In order for the Human Race to have a chance to develop, the Monster Race must remain in this half-dead state.

At first, Bai Qiuran didn't think that far ahead. However, at the beginning of the civil war, the Northern Demon Realm and the Imperial Capital Army, knowing that the Western Demon Realm might have a hero unit called "Human Race Sword Ancestor", still chose to attack the Western Demon Realm with all their might, clearly wanting to force him out.

The reason they did this was simply because they had the means to deal with Bai Qiuran, or rather, they believed they could.

Although Bai Qiuran couldn't guess the specifics of that method, it was definitely not something an ordinary Demon King could handle.

Therefore, in the Battle of Rock Mountain Pass, Bai Qiuran decisively defeated most of the enemy's forces, wounding all of their combat power except for the White Fox King. Then, he let the White Bear King take him into the Immortal Painting.

Because he knew that even if he were to be captured, there would still be five unharmed Demon King in the Western Demon Realm, including Su Xiangxue. The White Demon King White Bear King would have to risk his life to kill four of them.

Therefore, after he appeared, he told Su Xiangxue to step aside, and after the four Demon Kings were defeated by the White Bear King, she would take over the leaderless army of the Western Demon Realm.

What followed was simple: Bai Qiuran pretended to be exhausted and defeated, using her convincing acting skills to lure out the remaining Map Fragment, while Su Xiangxue deliberately gave random commands, using the White Fox King and the remaining enemy troops to wipe out the entire army of the Western Demon Realm.

With all three major forces in the Demon Realm severely weakened and the book gone, Su Xiangxue rightfully became the new Demon Emperor, clearly arranging the situation in the Demon Realm before abdicating. In this way, the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou could rest easy for at least two thousand years.

Regardless of how the discerning people within the Monster Race cursed Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue afterward, the expressions of the four Demon King became quite interesting after Bai Qiuran told them the outcome of the matter.

His expression was as if he had seen his entire family explode and spiral into the sky.

"Tomorrow morning, our entire army will set off for the Imperial Capital."

Bai Qiuran said calmly, "Xiangxue will be Accession to the Throne there. All Demon King are requested to attend."

The four Demon King exchanged glances. The White Crocodile King, the most hot-tempered of them all, was about to lash out, but was stopped by the Eagle King, who was quick-witted and agile.

The bird-man whispered a few words to the White Crocodile King, then together with the Flower King, pulled him aside.

The Black Snake King, facing Bai Qiuran's direction, bowed down in worship.

"I, Xiao Wang, wish Your Majesty Xiangxue success in quelling the rebellion, restoring order to our Demon Realm, and that Your Majesty may live as long as the heavens and that your glorious reign may last forever."

Why are you worshipping me?

Bai Qiuran slightly stepped aside and said, "The one you should worship is outside right now."

"Xiao Wang was just overjoyed upon hearing the good news."

The Black Snake King chuckled, his face full of obsequiousness.

"You're quite the opportunist, changing your tune very quickly."

Bai Qiuran glanced at them and walked out of the cell.

"Don't stay here, let's go out."

After he left, the other three Demon King rushed to the Black Snake King's side. The White Crocodile King angrily asked, "Black Snake? Are you really willing to hand over the fruits of victory so easily?! How many brothers of our Western Demon Realm died for that position?!"

"White Crocodile, do you know how I rose from the illegitimate son of a prince to my current position?"

The Black Snake King pointed to his face and said, "It's all about shamelessness. Only those who are pragmatic and shameless can live long."
