Hearing the conversation between Han Bingli and the others, the three great demons were overjoyed at the same time.

Become!

The three of them had done a great service this time! The three demons suppressed their excitement, not daring to show it in the slightest. They knelt respectfully on the ground, not even daring to raise their heads.

Han Bingli stepped forward, her cold gaze sweeping over the three great demons, her tone icy: "Go back and tell your clan leaders that if you want to submit to our Myriad Laws Sect, we'll see how your three clans perform."

She paused, her tone growing even colder: "If you behave well, there's no problem with your surrender. But if you dare to play any tricks, we won't hesitate to wipe out all three of you demons as well."

Upon hearing Han Bingli's words, the Seven-Tailed Fox quickly nodded and replied, "Understood, we understand! Rest assured, heroine! Our three great demon clans will definitely perform well! We will absolutely not let Lord Divine Phoenix and the young heroes down!"

The Devouring Python quickly echoed, "That's right! From this day forward, our three races will follow the lead of the Myriad Laws Emperor Sect!"

The Crimson Tiger nodded vigorously beside him.

The three great demons were all incredibly enthusiastic.

As she spoke, the seven-tailed fox seemed to remember something and quickly said, "By the way, young heroes."

"There's one more thing. The clan leader asked me to tell you—as soon as you entered the Monster Forest, the Soul-Devouring Sparrow clan leader went to report to the Dragon Emperor. Please be very careful, young heroes."

Upon hearing this, Han Bingli nodded slightly: "Understood, you may all leave now!"

"Yes! We will report to Lord Shenhuang and the young heroes as soon as we have any news." After saying that, the three great demons kowtowed in unison, carefully stood up, retreated more than ten meters before daring to turn around, and then turned into three streams of light and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

Han Bingli turned to look at Lu Hou and Jin Xiao and said, "That demonic dragon knew we were coming in, yet it still dared to make trouble, proving that it was determined to oppose us."

"Lu Hou, continue to conceal your aura. The final task of dealing with that demonic dragon is now in your hands."

Upon hearing this, Lu Hou, nestled in Xiao Ningyun's arms, nodded vigorously, excitedly indicating that there was no problem.

Han Bingli looked at the group and said softly, "Let's refine the spiritual energy within our bodies first! After we've rested, we'll continue our journey tomorrow."

Ling Yunzhi and the others nodded and each found a place to sit down cross-legged. With Lu Hou and Jin Xiao around, they didn't need to worry about safety at all.

The next morning, just as dawn broke.

After tidying up briefly in the forest, the group continued deeper into the Monster Forest.

The journey was peaceful, with no foolish monsters daring to approach and seek their doom. The deeper they went, the thicker the ancient trees became, their canopies blocking out the sky, with only a few scattered rays of sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves.

They discovered that the deeper they went, the more concentrated the spiritual energy became.

"No wonder the monsters in the Monster Forest become more powerful the deeper you go. It's hard not to get strong when you're immersed in this kind of spiritual energy every day," Chen Daoxuan said softly.

"Look, it's a miracle drug!"

Xiao Ningyun's eyes lit up as she pointed to a small purple grass not far away.

The herb was entirely purple, with a faint halo around its leaves; it was none other than the fifth-tier herb, 'Purple Spirit Grass'.

"Look!" Su Qingruo pointed to the rock wall not far away, where there was a bright green vine with three bright red fruits on it, their fragrance filling the air—it was the sixth-grade spiritual herb, the "Azure Blood Fruit".

Delving deeper, one can occasionally find a fifth or sixth-order spiritual herb.

The group took everything they saw.

Han Bingli walked at the front, her gaze sweeping over the surroundings, and said calmly, "This is already the outer edge of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. Further in, we will enter the territories of the various demon clans."

"From now on, we need to be careful."

"The Forest of Ten Thousand Demons?"

"So the depths of the Demon Beast Forest are called the Ten Thousand Demon Forest!" Ling Yunzhi said softly. He grew up in the Southern Region and didn't know this place was called the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. Even the previous three and four ancestors of the Ling family dared not enter this place.

But when Ling Yunzhi thought of how calm, mature, and knowledgeable his junior sister Bingli had always been, he stopped asking questions.

Meanwhile, inside the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons...

The Dragon Emperor's gaze swept over the demons below, and he spoke sternly: "According to the Soul-Devouring Sparrow, the phoenix and several junior humans have already reached the outer edge of the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. What do you all think we should do next?"

The seven-tailed fox stepped forward first, gave a slight bow, and asked, "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, should we really attack them? The forces behind those junior humans are probably not simple."

"If you don't intend to take action, we'll just give them a few precious spiritual herbs and send them away. If Your Majesty truly wishes to kill them, I'm afraid Your Majesty will have to intervene personally. Only you can hold off that phoenix; the remaining human juniors are nothing to fear."

"Furthermore, after we kill them, we must take precautions to prevent the forces behind them from settling scores."

The Devouring Python and the Crimson Flame Tiger also stepped forward, cupping their hands in agreement, and said, "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, the Seven-Tailed Fox is right. We must think twice before we act."

Before the three clan leaders could finish speaking, the Bull Clan Leader interrupted them: "Hmph! What nonsense are you three spouting? A few human juniors have trespassed into our demon clan's territory, and we're offering them precious spiritual herbs? What are they?"

Another mocking voice followed: "The bull is right. The humans trespassed into our demon territory, so they were in the wrong first. Should we send them gifts as an apology? What kind of bullshit logic is that? If they come again, are we supposed to send them gifts again?"

"Some demons really do get more cowardly as they get older." The Soul-Devouring Sparrow looked at the three clan leaders, the Seven-Tailed Fox, the Sky-Swallowing Python, and the Crimson Flame Tiger, with disdain.

Upon hearing this, the Crimson Flame Tiger flew into a rage: "Soul-Devouring Sparrow, who are you saying is getting more cowardly with age? Say it again if you dare!"

The Seven-Tailed Fox and the Devouring Python also glared angrily at the Soul-Devouring Sparrow.

Seeing the three clan leaders glaring at it with anger, it remained indifferent. In the past, the Soul-Devouring Sparrow would have been wary of them, but now the Dragon Emperor ruled the demon race. As long as it remained loyal to the Dragon Emperor, it had nothing to fear.

"Shut up! You have to argue over such a small matter. What kind of behavior is this?" A majestic voice came from above, instantly silencing all the demons.

"What you all say makes sense. But... a few junior humans dare to run wild in our demon territory. If we don't teach them a lesson, wouldn't that be telling humans that they can come and go as they please on our demon territory?"

"Therefore, these young humans must die."

After the Dragon Emperor finished speaking, he flipped his hand, and a strange nail instantly appeared in his hand.

The entire nail is dark silver, with ice-elemental law patterns wrapped around its body and restriction runes covering its tail. It faintly gleams with a cold, eerie light, carrying the aura of the Great Dao of Ice and sealing.

The Soul-Devouring Sparrow bowed respectfully and spoke first, asking, "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor, may I ask what this nail in your hand is?"

Upon hearing the Soul-Devouring Sparrow's words, the Dragon Emperor's lips curled into a sinister smile: "Hahaha... This nail is called the 'Phoenix-Locking Nail,' which can temporarily seal the phoenix's rebirth power and its phoenix divine fire. If that phoenix is ​​hit by this nail, it will be no different from a scruffy bird, and you can take its life at will."

"Soul-Devouring Sparrow, you excel at sneak attacks, so I'll entrust this nail to you for safekeeping! This nail also contains a bit of my power. As long as you find the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to that phoenix, it definitely won't be able to dodge it."

Upon hearing this, the Soul-Devouring Sparrow was overjoyed.

He quickly and carefully took the 'Phoenix Locking Nail'.

The three patriarchs of the Seven-Tailed Fox clan exchanged glances, each having their own plans for the next step.

The Dragon Emperor's majestic gaze fell upon the five clan leaders once more, and he spoke sternly: "Those young humans who wish to enter this place must pass through Bull Demon Mountain, which is the territory of the Savage Bulls."

"Go back and gather all the quasi-emperors and demon emperors of the demon race, and go to Bull Demon Mountain to await their arrival."

Upon hearing the Dragon Emperor's words, the clan leaders bowed respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor."

After receiving their orders and leaving the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, the three clan leaders exchanged glances and then nodded slightly.
