Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

A rich spiritual energy wafted over me.

It was more than twice as dense as that of the Lower Realm Lord Continent.

No wonder the demon race has retreated here for generations.

It is precisely because of this spiritual energy that one can cultivate a higher level of spiritual power.

Su Chen looked up.

Above the sky, several fine cracks were faintly visible, and the radiance of the spiritual veins was ethereal and uncertain, like a lamp that was about to run out of oil.

Its days are numbered.

What the old demon king sought back then, now seems to be entirely true.

He inquired around the outskirts of this small world.

The first piece of news he received made his heart sink.

The old demon king is dead.

Su Chen stood there for a moment without saying a word.

The aura emanating from his furiously scaled blue robe drew frequent glances from several old demons passing by.

The two poles of the reaction.

Some people knelt down and kowtowed in the street, their eyes filled with tears.

That was a token of the old king; something they recognized.

Some people's expressions hardened, and they turned and hurried into the city, clearly to inform the new king.

An old demon elder, clad in a gray-brown animal skin, followed Su Chen for a while.

The old elder's eyes gleamed, and he hesitated several times as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

If this person is indeed that human from back then.

This blue robe is the only way to overthrow the new king.

But can he believe it?

Could it be another ungrateful wolf?

After much deliberation, the old elder finally stepped forward, lowering his voice.

"Fellow Daoist."

"The blue robe he's wearing... has quite a history."

Su Chen glanced at him but didn't reply.

The old elder gritted his teeth and half-jokingly revealed the truth.

"The new king has reached the mid-stage of the Integration Realm."

"Three months ago, Princess Yue Li was imprisoned."

Su Chen scrutinized the old demon's expression, his mind racing.

Is this old fox truly loyal to the old king's lineage, or does he intend to use me as a tool to eliminate the new king so he can seize the throne himself?

calculating.

Wherever you go, you can't avoid scheming.

"lead the way."

Su Chen only uttered two words.

The royal court of the demon race was built inside a mountain with gushing spiritual veins.

The palace was cast from black iron, and its roof was inlaid with luminous pearls, which shone with a faint glow.

A faint smell of blood hung in the air, the bloodthirsty scent unique to the demon race.

The new demon king sits high on his throne.

With a cultivation level at the mid-stage of the Integration Realm, his silver horn pointed straight at the top of the palace, his aura extremely powerful.

This demon originally came from another powerful clan in this small world.

Taking advantage of an internal strife, and stepping over the corpse of the old demon king, he seized this position.

The former officials were not convinced.

Both are due to two reasons.

The angry-scaled blue robe fell into the hands of outsiders.

Princess Yue Li is of the legitimate bloodline.

As long as the green robe is taken back, and Yue Li is made queen.

This demon race has now truly taken his surname.

As for that legendary celestial treasure that the human race brought down from the upper realm.

That pen that can tear through the void.

The new king had long had his eye on it.

The palace doors were pushed open.

Su Chen stepped in.

The new demon king's gaze fell on that blue robe.

Silver Horn trembled slightly.

"Human race".

The new king's voice was deep and oppressive.

"My wrathful scale azure robe is a treasure passed down through generations of the demon race."

"To fall into the hands of a human is utterly disgraceful."

"Hand it over today."

The expressions of the several demon elders in the hall were all different.

Some looked expectant, while others remained silent with their heads bowed.

Su Chen took all of this in.

Beneath this excuse lies a real knife.

Once he returned to his green robe, the remaining loyalty of the old officials was completely severed.

At that point, it would be perfectly justifiable for him to kill himself.

"This blue robe."

Su Chen flicked his sleeves, which shimmered with a metallic sheen.

"It was a gift from the old demon king himself."

"How come it becomes 'theft' in Your Majesty's mouth?"

The new king's face darkened.

"Old Wang is dead."

"Does the word of a dead man still hold true?"

"These demons are now under my control."

Su Chen smiled and didn't answer.

Let him say whatever he wants.

The smell of gunpowder in the hall gradually intensified.

The new king saw that Su Chen was neither humble nor arrogant, and he couldn't fathom the depth of this man's character.

That aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator was truly ordinary.

Yet he dared to venture into the royal court alone.

"I consider you a guest."

The new king has a different face.

"I will host a banquet in three days."

"The matter of the blue robe will be discussed at the banquet."

Su Chen cupped his hands in greeting, then turned and left the hall.

As they left the hall, the old elder in the gray-brown animal hide secretly gave them a look.

The place where Yue Li was imprisoned was a stone cave in the back mountain of the royal court, where the sun never shines.

Two demon guards stood watch outside the cave.

The old elder found an excuse to send the person away for a moment.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Chen slipped inside.

Deep within the grotto, a restriction locks a stone platform.

Unseen in a century.

Yue Li sat cross-legged on the stone platform.

His cultivation was suppressed by the restriction, and his aura was weak.

He had lost a lot of weight, but the light in his eyes remained undiminished.

The moment she looked up and saw Su Chen, she was stunned.

Then, a thousand waves surged in his eyes.

She believed he would come back.

It's not about romantic love between men and women that I believe in.

What I believe in is the promise my father made to me that year when we high-fived.

It's been a hundred years.

She almost stopped believing it.

"you......"

Yue Li's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"They really came back."

Su Chen approached the stone platform, a wisp of spiritual light from his fingertip probing the restriction, and tested it.

"I already know about the old demon king's matter."

Yue Li lowered her eyes.

"My father has not died of old age."

"On that night, the spiritual veins of the small world collapsed, and the new king seized the opportunity to usurp power."

"My father...died in that civil war."

Her fingertips tightened on her knees.

"Because I am of the legitimate bloodline."

"They also stubbornly insist that the fate of this small world has run out and that they must relocate their clan to the human world according to the agreement."

"He sees her as a thorn in his side."

Su Chen listened quietly without interrupting.

They migrated into the human realm.

This was the old debt that the old demon king had entrusted to him years ago.

What Yue Li guarded was never just an empty promise.

What we are guarding is the matter itself.

"The new king hosted a banquet."

Su Chen withdrew his spiritual light.

"Three days later."

"I, Su, will take you out of here."

Yue Li looked up at him, her eyes flickering slightly.

"Can that old elder be trusted?"

A hint of meaning flashed in Su Chen's eyes.

Is this old fox truly loyal to the old king, or does he intend to use me to eliminate the new king so he can ascend to the throne himself?

Calculation against calculation.

"Whether you can be relied on or not will be revealed at the banquet."

The hall was brightly lit.

On the long black iron table, delicacies of the demon race were laid out, the fresh and fishy smell mixed with the aroma of wine, filling the hall.

The new demon king sat high on the throne, his silver horn gleaming coldly under the lamplight.

Su Chen took his seat at the lower end of the table.

The room was filled with demon elders, each with their own thoughts.

The new king's deadly trap.

The old elder's hidden move.

Su Chen's own backup plan.

Each of the three parties had their own agenda.

After several rounds of drinks...

The new king set down his wine cup and tilted his silver horn.

"Human race".

"I will grant you a way out."

His gaze swept over Su Chen's blue robe.

"The Angry Scale Green Robe, returned to the demon race."

"Princess Yue Li, marry me."

"Once these two things are done, I will forgive your crime of stealing the treasure."

The hall fell silent.

The new king added another sentence: using righteousness to oppress people.

"The demon race's fate is sealed; it is time for them to unite as one."

"How can we let an old object or an outsider cause unnecessary internal strife?"

The words were spoken in a grand and dignified manner.

Su Chen sneered.

He twirled the wine cup between his fingers halfway and then put it down.

I am invincible among humans.

Now that I'm in your tiny little world, do I have to be mindful of your attitude?

"This is the way out for Your Majesty."

Su Chen looked up.

"I, Su, cannot accept this."
