How could Yan Zongsheng not know that the Great Demon kings had held back? What he thought would be a fierce final battle had turned out like this.

The Demon Race had no intention of fighting to the death; they only wanted to Human Race to close the Spatial Passage as soon as possible. And all of this change came from that person in North Spring Mountain.

Looking at the Demon King who were surrounding but not attacking, Yan Zongsheng said, "The human and Demonic Qi of this Boundary Domain, which made it unsuitable for our Human Race to live, we would not have embarked on this path. Who would willingly leave their homeland? Let bygones be bygones. In any case, thank you all, Demon King, for holding back!"

Tiger Lord said calmly, "You two are no less skilled than us. It is your ability to fight until now. I simply do not wish to be dragged down with you before you die."

The other Demon King remained silent.

Yan Zongsheng bowed deeply and solemnly towards the direction of North Spring Mountain, then turned and stepped into the Spatial Passage.

Zheng Qinian shook his head and smiled, "I never thought I'd live another six months. It's a blessing to be able to see where Human Race live now."

He had come to his senses because of the crisis facing Human Race, but he never expected that the crisis would be overcome in this way. He quickly followed Yan Zongsheng and disappeared into the passage.

A moment later, the passage closed, and cracks appeared on more than half of the refined Array Tool.

Tiger Lord and the others stood for a moment, looking up at this once Sacred Mountain of the Human Race, and remained silent for a long time.

Although Human Race cannot compare to Demon Race, they are still a major race in this world. They have lived together for tens of thousands of years, and their sudden exodus from this world has caused many demons to sigh with regret.

The Demon Ape King slung the Coiling Dragon Great Cudgel over his shoulder and said lazily, "Now that this matter is settled, I should return. With the Demon Emperor gone, this realm will likely be in turmoil once again."

Tiger Lord laughed and said, "Isn't the Ape King most fond of fighting? Wouldn't it be better if things got chaotic?"

The Demon Ape King laughed heartily, "I do wish to have a battle with the Tiger Lord. When would you be so kind as to offer your guidance?"

Tiger Lord said, "My body is old and can't withstand the Ape King's torment. If you feel itchy, you can go Underground Cave and give it a try."

"Those are nothing but a bunch of fools. Boring, I'm leaving!"

The Ape King, feeling disheartened, rode away in his escape light, followed by his entire Ape Race and their vassals.

As for the Underground Cave, it was temporarily quiet after the Ape King slaughtered a wave of people there, and each of the Four Great Royal Races sent a Great Demon at the Third Heavenly Human Tribulation to guard it.

In addition, a number of vassal Demon Race also sent their experts to garrison the area and rebuild the defenses.

The Demon Phoenix, who appeared as a young girl, yawned and said, "I'm exhausted after fighting for so long. I'm going back to sleep."

Then it transformed back into its original form, flapped its wings, and instantly traveled dozens of miles away.

The avian Demon Race also headed towards the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.

Tiger Lord then looked at Fox King and said, "Would Lady Su be willing to accompany me to meet that Daoist Friend?"

Su Yue'e nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking too."

Then the two Great Demon also rose up on their escape lights.

The demons from the two Royal Race followed behind, leaving only one or two Heavenly Human Great Demon to clean up the mess.

Once they reached a point Three Thousand Li from North Spring Mountain, they were sent back to their respective clans by the Tiger Lord and the Fox King.

The two Demon King then arrived ten miles outside of North Spring Mountain.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Friend."

Tiger Lord solemnly cupped his hands in greeting, Su Yue'e returned the gesture gracefully.

Gu Yuanqing stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "The two Demon King have come together. What brings you here? Are you here to interrogate me?"

Upon hearing the words "to interrogate and punish," both demons felt a jolt in their hearts. Some things were already known without even being asked, and the fact that Gu Yuanqing was standing there unharmed while the Dragon Demon Ancestor was nowhere to be seen made the outcome of the battle obvious.

Su Yue'e chuckled and said, "How could I dare? It's just that the great war with the Human Race has ended, so I came to see my daughter on the way."

The Tiger Lord forced a smile and said, "I feel the same way."

Gu Yuanqing said, "The two Demon King need not worry. Since I said I would treat them well, I will keep my promise. I will now summon your two clansmen."

Su Yue'e quickly said, "Daoist Friend, please don't misunderstand. We sent them here to seek fortuitous opportunity for them, so naturally we trust Daoist Friend."

Gu Yuanqing remained calm, glancing at the two demons without speaking, and then summoned the Little Fox and the half-grown Tiger Cub.

The two little foxes were overjoyed to see the two Demon King. The Little Fox jumped around Su Yue'e, howling and whimpering.

After a short while, the two children were sent back.

Gu Yuanqing then asked, "Is there anything else, you two?"

Tiger Lord and Fox King exchanged a glance and said, "The Human Race in this realm have all left. To be honest, we have no deep-seated hatred for the Human Race. It's just that they opened the Spatial Passage, plunging this realm into danger, which forced us to take such action. However, we Demon Race did not kill them; we merely forced them to leave."

Gu Yuanqing glanced at the two with some surprise, then smiled and said, "I've said before that I won't interfere in the conflict between humans and demons, and the outcome is none of my business."

Tiger Lord and Fox King breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the smile on Gu Yuanqing's face. In their view, although Gu Yuanqing was not from this world and had grudges with the Heavenly Human Sacred Hall of the Human Race in this world, they were still worried that he might be dissatisfied because of their shared bloodline as Human Race.

Previously, when Gu Yuanqing defeated Ao Guang, they were willing to befriend him without any conflict. But now that even the Dragon Demon Ancestor has fallen into his hands, they don't want to offend such a Great Cultivator the Yin-Yang Realm.

Moreover, the Dragon Demon Ancestor is ultimately Demon Race, and this place is its stronghold and foundation. The Four Great Royal Races all have their own resources, so the Dragon Demon Ancestor may not dare to fight to the death with the Four Great Royal Races. Otherwise, even if it wipes Four Great Royal Races clans, this world will probably be riddled with holes, and multiple Underground Cave passages may appear, or it may attract powerful enemies.

But Gu Yuanqing is different. He comes from another region and might leave after destroying the Dragon Demon Domain. One has reservations, while the other can act freely. The two are not comparable.

"Do the two Demon King have anything else to discuss? If not, please forgive me, I have some other matters to attend to and will not keep you company any longer," Gu Yuanqing asked.

Tiger Lord cupped his hands and said, "Daoist Friend Gu, please go ahead. We've disturbed you."

Su Yue'e replied, "If you need anything in the future, please feel free to ask. My Daoist Friend Demon Race is large, and we can help with some miscellaneous tasks. Moreover, in the past, my Sky Fox Tribe has sent various Exotic Object heavenly materials and earthly treasures to Demonic Dragon Mountain every year. In the future, my clan will send these things to Daoist Friend Mountain as a way of Daoist Friend for the fortuitous opportunity you gave my daughter. I hope Daoist Friend won't find it too much."

Tiger Lord's gaze sharpened slightly, then he smiled and said, "My clan is the same."

Gu Yuanqing nodded slightly. "The two Demon King are very kind. Your clansmen are in my Mountain, and I will certainly take good care of them. Besides, I am cultivating here in seclusion, and matters outside the mountains are none of my concern. I have no intention of interfering, so there is no need to worry."

Upon hearing this, the two Demon King were finally reassured, and then bowed and took their leave.

Within a few days, the tiger and fox clans, both Heavenly Human Great Demon, presented gifts, including various rare and exotic fruits from the Demon Realm, Human Race Cultivation Method, and ten kinds of top-grade Demonic Spirit Stone.

Gu Yuanqing didn't stand on ceremony; only by accepting the gifts would the Demon Race feel at ease. His gaze towards the Little Fox and Tiger Cub in the Mountain also became much more amiable.

Thank Dao Xuanji Daoist Friend!

Thank you everyone for your support!
