The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

Chi Miao was stunned for a moment: "That voice sounds so familiar. Speak of the devil? How come your Heavenly Fox Demon Clan has gotten involved with humans again?"

The Heavenly Fox King's expression was not good; his handsome face was tense, and his purple eyes were filled with anger and tension.

"I'm afraid he knows about the Demon Clan and has recognized that it was a lie." The Heavenly Fox King closed his eyes in thought, a very strong sense of unease creeping in: "If they are determined to investigate the truth, I'm afraid... they will use the totem pole to test you."

Chi Miao looked bewildered: "A totem pole?"

The Heavenly Fox King nodded: "Each branch of the Demon Clan has a totem representing that branch, and a portion of these totems is fused into the totem pole to check the concentration and strength of the bloodline power."

"Totem pole testing is the most authoritative. Even if someone can disguise their aura and appearance as a demon, as long as a totem pole is used for testing... their true nature can definitely be detected."

He was somewhat worried because he now knew very well that Chi Miao was a real human being.

Although it's unclear what methods Chi Miao used to achieve such a high degree of realism, it's still just an act no matter how convincing it is.

"I wonder if the totem pole will recognize you."

The Celestial Fox King grew increasingly annoyed: "How about I kick you back into the circle? Humans can freely pass through it. You run now, wait until things calm down, and then come back. Our domination of the demon race will be just around the corner!"

Chi Miao understood the Heavenly Fox King's concerns, so he asked the Gou Shi System again, "So, will my demon bloodline be discovered?"

Gou Shi System: "How is that possible? Anything produced by Gou Shi is guaranteed to be top-notch, okay?"

"How can you think the bloodline my Gou Shi System gave you is some cheap imitation? This is bloodline! Although it allows you to freely switch forms, bloodline is bloodline! Once you switch to demon form, even the Demon Mother won't recognize you!"

Chi Miao: "Then I'm relieved."

It was at this moment that the magic bell rang once again.

Mingye's voice came from the sky above the demon tribe:

"Heavenly Fox King, and... my dear human friend, Chi Miao, aren't you going to come and see me? Or... are you utterly terrified?"

"In that case, I shall now pronounce my verdict!"

The Heavenly Fox King is still struggling with his decision.

Chi Miao, however, directly and openly used her spiritual power to amplify her voice and respond to Ming Ye:

"You brat, Mingye, how dare you! A mere Blood Demon dares to yell at my Demon God Clan! I hadn't even set off yet; I was just giving you a chance to regret it. Now that you don't want that chance, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Her voice was utterly cold, laced with obvious arrogance and sarcasm, as if no one could threaten her and that she was the one in control.

The Heavenly Fox King and Rong Xuanji felt a sudden jolt in their hearts.

Heavenly Fox King: "You...do you know that by saying those words, you can no longer escape this fate?"

"Why should I hide?" Chi Miao raised an eyebrow slightly, her captivating golden eyes shimmering with a hint of moisture. She smiled gently, "I said I would uphold the reputation of the Demon God Clan, and I will do it—"

"So what if it's fake? If I, Chi Miao, say it's real, then it's real!"

Chi Miao unleashed the power of the Infant Demon stage, making it clear that her strength far surpassed that of others at the same level. Her rich bloodline power was also able to influence the surrounding demons.

Her confidence and flamboyance seemed to have a certain magic, able to infect the creatures around her, stir up the atmosphere, and make everyone trust her.

The Heavenly Fox King's eyes flickered, as if he had made up his mind:

"Very well, since you've made your decision, then I'll risk my life to accompany you, young lady!"

"At worst, we'll fight them to the death! I refuse to believe that I, a mere Tribulation Transcending cultivator, can't hold them off for even half an hour!"

After saying that, the man and the demon exchanged a glance.

Before leaving, Chi Miao left the mechanical ball with Rong Xuanji, repeatedly instructing her: "The mechanical ball can perfectly conceal their presence. If something really happens to me, you must find a way to throw the mechanical ball into the circle to ensure their safety."

Rong Xuanji wanted to say something, but in the end she held back, her eyes filled only with trust for Chi Miao.

"I see."

……

Star Moon Demon Clan, Star River.

The demon race holds its major meetings here.

The Star River is the largest heritage site among the demon tribes besides the Holy Palace. This Star River originates from the Star Moon Demon Clan and connects all the demon tribes.

On the vast, magnificent, and mysterious purple nebula water, countless stars dot the surface. Legend has it that each point of light represents a powerful demon who once fell from grace.

It is the traces left by countless powerful demons that make up this endless galaxy.

In the center of the Milky Way, there is a towering pillar, engraved with thousands of distinct totems, each symbolizing a different branch.

This is a symbol of the honor and power of the demon race.

At this moment, almost all the kings of the demon race branches and the ten demon king candidates were staying here.

Apart from Fox Lord and Rong Xuanji.

Rong Xuanji had long ago stated that she would not attend such meetings, and every time she did attend, she would secretly inform the human race.

As for the Fox Lord... he was late simply because he had been agonizing over it for too long.

Mingye couldn't hide his smile as he looked at Xingqi: "High Priest, the Fox Lord still hasn't arrived. The outcome is pretty obvious, isn't it?"

Xingqi is extremely young, only twenty years old. Because he inherited the cultivation of the previous high priest, he can barely possess the strength of the Mahayana stage.

At this moment, he closed his eyes tightly. His appearance was androgynous, with star and moon demonic markings on his forehead. His appearance was extremely outstanding even among demons.

He sat in his seat, holding the Star and Moon Staff, and gently pursed his lips before uttering a youthful voice that revealed little emotion:

"The Celestial Fox Demon Clan is an extremely important branch of our entire demon race. We should not speculate or draw conclusions before things have been settled."

"Moreover... the power of the stars and moon just now told me... the Heavenly Fox Demon Clan has not betrayed us."

That was all he had to say.

But there was something he didn't say, but it was so shocking that even he found it unbelievable and questioned whether the prophecy was wrong.

From a young age, he was exposed to the mission of the Star Moon Demon Clan. After all, their clan was not a powerful one in terms of combat strength. Their greatest role was to assist a "Demon King" and lead the demon clan to prosperity and strength.

Therefore, he cannot speak carelessly.

Every word he uttered meant some kind of "truth" or "guidance" to the demons.

Therefore, for some highly complex prophecies, he must verify their truthfulness before deciding whether to speak them.

For example, the content he's hiding now.

—The Celestial Fox Demon Clan is forming an alliance with the Chosen One.

The chosen one is the one who can avert the famine and calamity afflicting the demon race! They are either the future Demon King, or… the future Demon Mother!!

Just then, a powerful demonic aura emanated from the center.

"They're here!"
