I am Guhuoniao, not an umbrella demon, please do not disturb me.

“In your capital, someone instigated the demon race to violently kidnap my child. Today, I only want justice for my child.”

Bai Qingyu dropped a recording stone, and immediately the scene of the Great Tengu kidnapping the little snake appeared in everyone's sight. The Great Tengu descended from the sky, gently patted his round fan, and a gust of wind swept the little snake into the air.

The little snake reacted quickly and fought with the Great Tengu, but it was no match for him and was bound by the Great Tengu. It was then swept away by a whirlwind and headed towards the capital.

After putting away the recording stone, Bai Qingyu looked at Hongfei.

“Master Hong, I am certain that this person is in the capital. I vow to kill him today. I will not leave until he is dead.”

That's just my attitude.

If she doesn't strike swiftly and decisively this time, and make a big fuss to crush this guy, similar situations will occur again in the future. She's not a god and can't always be by her children's side. Only by letting all the forces in the world know that Bai Qingyu's children cannot be captured will she have truly achieved her goal.

A demon cannot live such a miserable life.

It's one thing to have designs on her, but to have designs on her children is absolutely intolerable.

If I tolerate it today, what about in the future?

Will you endure it tomorrow?

Why hold back all that strength if you're going to endure it all?

She also knew that today's commotion would inevitably attract troublemakers who would try to kidnap a child to vent their anger on the world, resulting in a lose-lose situation.

So after killing this guy, she will personally go to the Heavenly Cult and talk to the leader of the Heavenly Cult.

Those who thrive on chaos are mostly from demonic sects, and the Heavenly Sect is the leader of these demonic sects, so their words carry significant weight.

As for some righteous sects having wicked intentions, there's really nothing we can do about that.

The only thing we can do is let Tianyang Palace see the impact we have on Daling, and let them know the consequences of kidnapping a child.

Afterwards, without her saying anything, Tianyang Palace will naturally warn the sects below.

The last point is the demon race.

Bai Qingyu has no need to worry about this. She is a demon herself, and today she made a scene in the capital for the sake of the demon race, demanding justice for her child in front of the Human Emperor and the Peak Master of Tianyang Palace. Given the nature of those demons, they would probably be very excited.

Hongfei frowned. "How can you be sure this person is in the capital? Do you have any evidence?"

"The evidence will come soon. You'll know once I've caught this person." Bai Qingyu's gaze returned to the Human Emperor.

"Your Majesty, I cannot tolerate watching my child being arrested. If it happens once, it will happen again. As a parent, I must prevent this from happening again."

“I can tell you, I have nothing, I ask for nothing, my world is only this big, and those children are my everything.”

His gaze swept over every official on the city gate tower. "Do you understand what I mean? Without children, I have no ties and can do anything."

"Where is Xu Yuanqing?!"

Upon hearing Bai Qingyu suddenly mention Xu Yuanqing, all the officials present, including the Emperor, felt a chill in their hearts.

Xu Yuanqing went to find a way to improve the nation's fortunes, could it be that he stole someone else's thunder?

A cold sweat broke out all over my face.

The Emperor remained relatively calm. "I can understand Shenhuang's feelings, but Grand Preceptor Xu has not yet returned from his mission."

"National Preceptor Xu Yuanqing?"

Hongfei spoke up, "I've met this person once before. I'll send someone to find him. The sooner we resolve this matter, the better."

After saying that, Hongfei threw something out into the sky. As it flew into the sky, a barrier quickly unfolded, covering the entire capital city. This was to prevent the person Bai Qingyu mentioned from escaping the capital city in the chaos.

Since Bai Qingyu wants to investigate, let's get to the bottom of this.

"Since Shenhuang cannot produce any evidence yet, what if this person is not in the capital?"

One can only say that he truly deserves to be called a top-tier expert.

Since things have come to this point, he'll join in Bai Qingyu's antics.

Bai Qingyu is absolutely right.

As a demon, Shenhuang's pursuits are not very grand, and could even be described as insignificant.

She had almost no desires, and in recent years she had hardly been heard of. If it weren't for the matter of the Fate Sect, no one would know that there was a Divine Phoenix lineage that had quietly risen to prominence.

The fact that Bai Qingyu has such strength but no fame suggests that her life is relatively uneventful.

As she said, those children were her everything.

No wonder she dared to come over like that.

Apart from her children, she was essentially unattached, but today someone has harmed her children, which means she has crossed her bottom line.

Hongfei deployed a barrier but did not block the spiritual energy probing from all directions.

He wanted to show those meddlesome sects around him what he was capable of, to let them know how powerful he was.

Don't cause trouble for other people's children if you have no grudges against them, or you'll end up like today, causing chaos in the capital.

The powerful figures from the surrounding sects who were watching from a distance remained silent.

The Divine Phoenix dared to go to the capital, knowing that the example of the Demon King was right before their eyes.

What if it were your own sect?

Moreover, this Divine Phoenix doesn't even have a decent magic weapon; she's dirt poor. Dealing with her seems to offer no benefit other than venting her anger on your own sect.

Then look at Hongfei, he's a veteran Mahayana cultivator, and his temperament and personality are not as refined and gentle as his demeanor suggests.

This divine phoenix has caused such a ruckus in the capital and shown such disrespect to the Emperor, yet the Emperor has not only failed to take action but has repeatedly compromised.

What is he afraid of?

With his strength, he could take down a Void Refinement cultivator without harming the city's inhabitants, and the mighty Tianyang Palace would not fear any retaliation from the children of Shenhuang.

Therefore, there is only one answer.

There was something about the Divine Phoenix that made the Peak Master of Lingxu Peak extremely wary, so much so that he was willing to compromise with the Divine Phoenix rather than take a strong action!

In fact, Hongfei's behavior was quite normal; he simply didn't want to escalate the situation.

And this is precisely what is most abnormal.

Why would a Mahayana cultivator treat a mere demon race member with such an attitude?

They clearly treated them as being on the same level.

At this moment, all the powerful figures in the world pondered. How could they possibly be so crazy as to provoke a divine phoenix that was so poor that it only possessed the power of faith and was suspected of being able to unleash the power of the Mahayana stage? And they even went so far as to grab the phoenix's offspring.

Once this idea comes to mind, it's hard not to think about it again.

That guy in the capital who captured Shenhuang's child, is he really not very bright? Why did you provoke her?

Do you think you're safe just because you're hiding in the capital, under the emperor's nose?

Watching a spectacle is human nature, and this won't change as one's strength increases.

Just like when they watched the decisive battle at Xishan from afar, all the sects in the world were watching the excitement in the capital. They were wondering what would be the fate of the person captured by the Divine Phoenix, and how Hongfei would react.

It's a human being, after all. We can't just give it to the demon race like that, can we?

·

At the same time, Xu Yuanqing's carriage was still leisurely traveling on the road.

The capital city was too far away, and he was just an ordinary person; it was impossible for him to fly there in an instant.

We've been traveling at full speed for the past few days.

"Here, this is for you." Instead of sitting inside the carriage, she sat on the awning, her two bare, cute little feet dangling above Xu Yuanqing's head.

Because the fox demon usually dresses quite revealingly, not only her feet, but also her slender legs swayed in Xu Yuanqing's line of sight, revealing two white patches.

Xu Yuanqing had said this many times: if you just want to see the scenery, wouldn't it be better to sit on either side of the carriage? Sitting directly in front of him will block his view.

In other words, his feet didn't smell, otherwise he really wouldn't have agreed.

The fox demon lowered her head, her long black hair cascading down, along with her two fox ears. She held a slightly burnt roasted chicken leg in her small hand and handed it to Xu Yuanqing, who was driving the car.

After getting used to spending time with Xu Yuanqing, the fox demon gradually revealed her true nature, becoming less alluring and charming, and more innocent and adorable.

"Thank you." Xu Yuanqing said with a smile as he took the chicken leg.

"It's not that I see you're hungry, I'm just afraid you might starve to death on the way. If you die, I won't be able to see the Divine Phoenix Lady."

The little fox demon got up and let out her usual coquettish hum.

Her cultivation level was not high, and she couldn't maintain her human form completely after transforming. She still had her fox tail and fox ears, and there was a patch of soft white fur on her belly.

The human form that Xu Yuanqing had previously presented was nothing more than the most inferior illusion.

"Speaking of which, Xiaolan, why do you insist on meeting the Divine Phoenix Lady?"

"Because I admire her."

"Didn't you want to become her child?" Xu Yuanqing asked.

On the roof of the carriage, the fox demon Xiao Lan, who was taking small bites of a chicken leg, paused for a moment, then quickly spoke up, "Of course I want to! Becoming the child of the Divine Phoenix Queen is my ultimate dream!"

At this point, a look of disappointment appeared in Xiaolan's eyes, and even her fox ears drooped. "But, a little demon like me shouldn't be worthy to be the daughter of the Divine Phoenix..."

"How could that be? You need to have some confidence. The Divine Phoenix Goddess doesn't necessarily only take in powerful monsters."

"really?"

"Probably..."

Xiao Lan pouted, "Didn't you meet the Divine Phoenix Queen and even go to her house? Did you see her children?"

"Uh, no."

"cut."

"Hey, you know what, I actually saw her, but I didn't see her child. How could I possibly see the Divine Phoenix Queen's child so easily?"

"That seems to be true."

"Don't worry, there's at least hope. The Divine Phoenix Queen is gentle and kind; she's not the kind of person who only accepts talented demons. In comparison, I can assure you that she prefers a pure heart."

A pure heart?

"Yes, only those with kind and pure hearts will be chosen by her."

Upon hearing this, Xiaolan nodded thoughtfully.
