I, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Submit!

Under everyone's gaze, Yu Yuanzhen struggled to look up at Zhong Su, whose indifferent expression seemed to have never cared about them.

"I... understand." He replied weakly, his entire being slumping a little more.

"Big Brother!" Yu Luomian cried out, but the words caught in his throat, unsure of what to say.

Resist him? The opponent's strength had been fully displayed; even their only Titled Douluo was no match, let alone the others.

"Quickly! I want to see my palace within three days."

Zhong Su icily left a sentence, then rode the lightning away, flying towards the highest point on the mountain peak.

Seeing this, Yu Luomian breathed a sigh of relief. That was the family's forest; the opponent occupying it would temporarily not disturb the lives of the clansmen.

Many breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the demon depart.

Young girls sought comfort in their mothers' arms.

Adults gathered in twos and threes, celebrating the joy of surviving a disaster.

Some, having escaped calamity, began to resent their clan leader, questioning why they would submit to a demon. They were the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family!

"I think this isn't a family ancestor at all; it's clearly a demon!" someone said resentfully.

"Exactly!"

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had lost face because of him.

As for Yu Yuanzhen, who had summoned him, if he hadn't risked his life to protect the family just now, they would have cursed him along with the demon.

However, this was of no great consequence to Shendu.

He only wanted to solidify the demon's identity. Whether the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family sincerely served Zhong Su or was enslaved was irrelevant to him.

"Alright, Tianheng, you take your grandfather to rest first. The rest of you, clean up the scene and comfort everyone." Yu Luomian patted his shoulder, then turned to others.

Yu Tianheng nodded, crouched down, and carried Yu Yuanzhen on his back.

Today's event was truly a farce. They had originally thought something good that would revitalize the family would happen, but unexpectedly, they gained an extra father.

Yu Yuanzhen said nothing, silently lying on his grandson's back as he left, filled with immense regret.

Why did I release it back then? Was it because of my own desire for strength?

He was filled with shame.

If he hadn't coveted power, they wouldn't have ended up like this today.

On the other side, the scouts who had fled quickly reported what they had learned. Various factions learned of the events at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family almost simultaneously.

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

"What? Another demon has appeared!" The Heaven Dou Great Emperor was shocked.

Could demons truly exist?

However, after his initial shock, he paid no further attention.

He didn't have time to concern himself with such matters now. His son had been rendered unconscious by intruders in the imperial palace, and he was trying to find a way to cure him!

"Alas, Qinghe, just wake up!"

The Heaven Dou Great Emperor looked at the unconscious Xue Qinghe, his eyes moistening slightly.

"Qinghe, your skin has turned pale. You must not have eaten well these past few days, suffering from malnutrition. Listen to Father and wake up to eat something, okay?"

He spoke earnestly, hoping the unconscious Xue Qinghe could hear him.

However, he did not know that within Xue Qinghe, the power of the Spirit Bone was continuously weakening. Without soul power replenishment, the Spirit Bone skills would soon be unable to be maintained.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Conference Hall.

Ning Fengzhi's brow furrowed deeper as he read the letter.

After finishing, he put down the letter and sternly asked the person below, "What is the current situation of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family?"

The person shook his head and replied, "This subordinate does not know. When our people returned, Yu Yuanzhen had already rushed into the sea of lightning, his fate unknown."

"Is that so?" Ning Fengzhi pondered for a long time, then waved his hand, "You may go."

"Yes."

"Fengzhi." Bone Douluo looked at him with concern.

The current situation was truly beyond their expectations. They hadn't even dealt with the Sky Demon, and now the Thunder Demon had reappeared with such immense power.

Were humanity truly doomed?

Sword Douluo also frowned; Gu Rong shared his worries.

He knew Yu Yuanzhen's strength: a level 95 Assault-type Douluo, and with a top-tier spirit, his combat power at the same level was no less than his own.

Yet, such a Yu Yuanzhen was defeated so easily by the opponent. That demon's strength was at least one or two tiers higher than his own.

Simply terrifying!

There were as many as eight such demons!

Ning Fengzhi sighed and said, "As things stand, we have no other options; we can only wait and see how the situation develops."

The two people beside him sighed as well.

The conference room fell silent, but Ning Fengzhi's mind was racing: how did the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family learn about the demons?

Not only did they know, but they were also able to actively summon them.

"Welcome, Old Ancestor?" Could it be that they were descendants of demons? A shiver ran down Ning Fengzhi's spine at the thought.

The demons themselves were already powerful enough; if humans were to stand on their side, how could this war even be fought?

He felt as if thousands of ants were crawling over his heart, leaving him incredibly anxious and uneasy.

Spirit Hall.

Shendu watched his divine power soaring and felt deeply satisfied.

Not bad, not bad. It seems I have a real talent for being a mastermind.

Whether it was Zhong Su or Hsi Wu, both plans had been executed perfectly. Aside from failing to fully account for Yu Yuanzhen's personality, everything else had gone according to plan.

The destruction caused by the two demons had also been kept within a certain range.

Of course, Zhong Su had still caused quite a bit of damage to the world this time.

Shendu looked at his Divine Position Space, which was covered in cracks, but he didn't care in the slightest. With a casual wave of his hand, the River of Divine Power repaired all the surrounding fissures.

"All done." Shendu lowered his hand.

The divine power I earned this time is twice as much as the last, so I really have to thank Zhong Su.

And this wasn't even the end of it; more divine power would continue to pour in endlessly.

Of course, Zhong Su was more prone to causing trouble than Hsi Wu, so I need to keep a constant eye on him to ensure he doesn't create any irreparable holes.

Sigh! Being a mastermind behind the scenes isn't easy!

Shendu shook his head and returned to his statue body.

Right, that fellow Zhong Su seems to have very little respect for me. I should send him away sooner rather than later.

"Your mission is complete. I'll find an opportunity to send you into Demon Hell."

Shendu began to contemplate the exit script for Zhong Su.
