Fantasy: Reborn as a Tiger Demon, the more children, the stronger you become.

Chapter 153 The Human Race Retreats, and the Crown Prince's Invitation!

In the sky.

The Demon Emperor and that wisp of demonic energy disappeared.

All eyes were focused on that single point of light.

A moment later, the spot of light landed in Hu Xiao's palm; it was a bead about the size of a thumb.

Upon seeing this, the eldest princess's beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

"Is this the legacy of my father?"

Hu Xiao was also stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

"Why was the Demon Emperor's legacy given to me?"

The eldest princess frowned slightly.

Before they could speak, the Crown Prince suddenly interrupted them.

"Now is not the time to dwell on this."

Everyone immediately looked up and saw Yu Huai, who had just fallen to the ground due to the explosion, struggling to get up.

His clothes were tattered and his face was covered in dust, making him look utterly disheveled.

A moment later, Yu Huai rose from the ground and stood in the air, looking towards the demon race.

Hu Xiaoniu and the others immediately prepared for battle.

Now that the Demon Emperor has fallen, their strongest Demon Emperor is only a three-star demon.

However, Yu Huai possessed seven stars.

If Yu Huai were to launch an attack on them at this time, they would be powerless to resist.

On the human side, as the wisp of demonic energy dissipated, the eyes of many who had previously attacked the demon race like madmen regained their clarity.

What's wrong with me?

"Something felt off about me just now?"

Many human sect leaders also realized what was happening and looked at Yu Huai with bewildered expressions.

"Sect Master Yu, what exactly is going on?"

"Has that wisp of demonic energy disappeared?"

Yu Huai did not answer them, but instead looked towards the place where Hu Xiao and the others were.

A moment later, Yu Huai raised his head and looked at the place where the Demon Emperor and the demonic energy had just fought.

At this moment, the aura of the Demon Emperor and that demonic energy had long since vanished from the world.

He was the person closest to the Demon Emperor and the Demon Clan.

In the instant of the spatial explosion, he could feel the Demon Emperor burning away his entire life's cultivation, perishing together with the demon.

This was a human sect leader, who quickly came to Yu Huai's side.

"Sect Master Yu, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan is dead. Now is the perfect opportunity for us to launch a major counterattack."

Previously, under the attack of the Azure Nether Ancestor, the defensive formation of the Heavenly Stream had been broken.

While the human race suffered heavy losses, the demon race lost its high-end combat power.

If, at this moment, an attack would surely be able to take over the Eastern Demon Realm in one fell swoop.

However, Yu Huai shook his head.

"Let's retreat!"

Yu Huai's voice wasn't loud, but it was the only voice on the entire battlefield, and it instantly spread throughout the territories of both the human and demon races.

Both humans and demons were stunned when they heard this voice.

"Retreat? Why should we retreat at this time?" The human race leader asked, puzzled.

Tiger Roar narrowed his eyes.

He could sense that although Yu Huai's aura was very unstable at the moment, his strength was still there.

If, under his leadership, the human race launches another attack on the demon race, the demon race will be powerless to resist.

However, he chose to withdraw his troops, which clearly indicates that Yu Huai was worried about the demon race.

"I didn't expect this old man to actually have a sense of the big picture."

"We know we shouldn't be fighting amongst ourselves at this time."

Although he didn't know much about demons, Hu Xiao could tell that they were clearly not creatures of this world.

Moreover, this war was started by the Azure Nether Ancestor for his own selfish interests, and now the Azure Nether Ancestor is dead.

Then there is no need for this war to continue.

Yu Huai didn't explain further, but simply waved his hand and spoke in a deep voice.

"All human cultivators, heed my command and withdraw from the demon territory."

"All human sect leaders must proceed to the Myriad Swords Sect in three days. Those who fail to appear will be executed!"

After speaking, the void behind him cracked open, and Yu Huai turned around and entered, disappearing from sight.

Those human sect leaders who had previously advocated for war could only shake their heads helplessly upon hearing this order.

They could only retreat with their sect disciples.

Many human cultivators breathed a long sigh of relief upon learning of this order. They had never wanted to participate in this war, but they were forced to do so.

Especially after the death of the Azure Nether Ancestor, the urge to fight that they had felt disappeared.

They didn't know that the reason they had been able to charge forward so fearlessly was simply because they were influenced by that demon.

Soon, the surviving human army departed in a grand procession.

Before long, the entire Tianjian River was left with only devastation.

After the human army had completely left, Hu Xiao finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

But Hu Xiao knew that although the great battle was over, something even more dangerous was waiting for him.

At this moment, the crown prince turned to look at Niu Le.

"General Niu Le, I'm leaving things here to you from now on."

"My father perished together with that demon, and there are still many things I need to deal with."

"Yes." Niu Le quickly turned around and respectfully addressed the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince nodded, then his gaze fell on Hu Xiao.

"You must be Hu Xiao. I've heard my father mention you before."

"I wonder if we could have a proper talk?"

After speaking, his gaze fell on the inheritance bead in Hu Xiao's palm.

Tiger Roar nodded.

Hu Xiao then went with the eldest princess and the crown prince to a secret room.

The prince's expression softened.

"Don't be nervous. I just wanted to have a good talk with you."

"My father spoke of you to me before he passed away, saying that you are the hope of the future demon race."

"Your Majesty the Demon Emperor is too kind," Tiger Roar replied.

He hadn't expected the Demon Emperor to have such a high opinion of him.

"You don't need to be modest; your growth rate is rare in the world," the Crown Prince said again.

"I called you here today to talk to you about what's going to happen next."

"You must have seen the battle today."

"Demons are something that ordinary demons can't come into contact with at all, so you probably don't know much about them."

Hu Xiao looked intently at the Crown Prince, listening to his detailed explanation.

"The last time the demon race appeared was three thousand years ago."

"According to our historical records, the demon race comes from outside the world. They have their own large population and possess extremely high intelligence."

"But they are inherently cruel and bloodthirsty. Whether it is humans or demons, they are all just food to them."

"The demon race can be said to be the common enemy of both humans and demons."

Hearing this, Hu Xiao finally understood why Yu Huai had left today.

They must be going back to consolidate their forces and prepare to deal with the upcoming demon race.

The prince's expression turned serious as he spoke.

"My father has entrusted his legacy to you, which must be because he has placed great hopes on you."

Your future is definitely limitless.

"According to my father, given enough time, you will eventually surpass him in all your potential."

"Now that the demon race has appeared in the world, neither the human race nor the demon race can remain at peace."

"So, are you willing to come back to Donghuang City with me?"
