Demon King Black Crow did not look at anyone else.
After he appeared, his gaze fell first on the ashes on the sea that had once been Chiling.
Then.
Those crimson eyes slowly lifted.
He looked at Mysterious Abyss in the Cause and Effect Mirror.
Demon King Black Crow stood atop a demon cloud.
He made no deliberate effort to restrain his aura as a mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal.
Black crow feathers swirled behind him, each gleaming with a chilling light, slicing countless fine cracks into the surrounding void.
Hundreds of Demon Soldiers straightened their backs again.
Chiling had died too suddenly.
The way he had fallen without even being able to resist had left fear weighing on their hearts.
Now that they saw Black Crow arrive.
That fear finally eased considerably.
A mid-stage Daluo Golden Immortal!
A powerhouse who ranked among the best in the entire Northern Demon Division.
And one who truly answered to the Demon Marshal.
Someone of his standing was already qualified to meet the Demon Emperor directly.
A demon general hurried forward, about to report what had happened.
Black Crow merely raised a hand.
"I already learned what happened on my way here."
The demon general immediately fell silent.
Black Crow took a step forward.
The demon cloud moved forward with him.
Only when he was a few hundred zhang from the Three Lives Relay Station Stele did he stop.
His crimson eyes first swept over the post station.
Then they swept over the four large characters that had just appeared on the stele.
End Hostilities Upon Entering the Post Station.
A flicker of surprise passed through Black Crow's eyes.
Those words.
They had appeared quickly enough.
Then he looked back at Mysterious Abyss.
Black Crow asked in a low voice, "Did you kill Chiling?"
