Yan Zehong originally thought that even if the Demon Emperor Moyuan knew about his feigned death, the other party wouldn't necessarily be so decisive as to flee directly back to the capital of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.

The demons in the central army of the demon race were all composed of demons most loyal to the Demon Emperor Moyuan.

It was impossible for him to abandon those demons.

The most likely outcome was that Demon Emperor Moyuan would face the siege and use the remaining World-Extinguishing Sword in his hand to kill Yuwen Fengxian.

Although he would lose a trump card, doing so would not only preserve his most elite demon army,

but also prevent the Demon Emperor Moyuan's prestige from being damaged.

Otherwise, if word got out that he had abandoned his loyal demon army and fled alone, Demon Emperor Moyuan's reputation would be greatly damaged.

But now, Demon Emperor Moyuan had appeared in the imperial palace.

He had appeared in the treasure vault of books.

And he wasn't even surprised that Yan Zehong was there.

It was as if he had already guessed Yan Zehong's purpose.

After understanding this, Yan Zehong sighed and said in a deep voice, "Please give your orders, Demon Emperor!"

Demon Emperor Moyuan nodded in satisfaction.

Yan Zehong was very clever, more so than any of the demons under his command.

Talking to such a person was a pleasant experience.

He didn't need to threaten Yan Zehong with his precious daughter; the other party could directly see the situation clearly and actively cooperate.

Demon Emperor Moyuan had long understood the power of Yan Zehong's Grand Duke body.

With countless clones, he wasn't afraid of death at all.

Who knew how many clones he had created and distributed across the continent beneath their feet?

The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, Great Wei, the Arctic Ice Plains, the Southeast Sea...

Even if Demon Emperor Moyuan wielded the World-Extinguishing Sword, he wouldn't be able to kill Yan Zehong.

But once such a person had a weakness, they would be easy to control.

Previously, Yan Zehong had faked his death to escape, hoping to find an opportunity to take his daughter away from the control of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.

But now, that opportunity was gone.

Demon Emperor Moyuan waved his hand, and a wooden tablet encased in clear yellow amber appeared before him.

The wooden tablet was dilapidated, and parts of it had already weathered away.

If it were taken out of the amber at this moment, it would probably turn to dust immediately.

"I need you to help me translate the contents of this."

Hearing Demon Emperor Moyuan's instructions, Yan Zehong nodded and focused his attention.

"This is not ancient demon script, nor is it in the style of human writing."

At first glance, he came to a conclusion.

Every race's writing has its own characteristics.

Yan Zehong could tell that this writing was definitely not created by humans or demons.

It was more like the foreign writing that had shown him the truth of the world.

Demon Emperor Moyuan nodded, his eyes showing even more appreciation for Yan Zehong.

"You're right. This is not any kind of writing in the known history of the human or demon races. It is the writing of the dragon race."

"The dragon race?"

Yan Zehong frowned and asked in confusion, "Aren't they also demons?"

Demon Emperor Moyuan shook his head and smiled. "No, these are completely different concepts."

Yan Zehong nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Do you have any understanding of this thing? I need some detailed information to verify the contents of these words."

Demon Emperor Moyuan gave Yan Zehong a deep look, and said meaningfully, "I can."

"What is recorded on this is how the true royal family of the demon race left this continent!"

These words caused Yan Zehong's pupils to contract instantly.

So, the content he had been searching for was actually with Demon Emperor Moyuan all along?

"I think the reason you came to the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom was also to find this thing. Then you must also know some of the related rumors."

Yan Zehong nodded and said in a deep voice, "Yes. I saw some ancient legends that said there was a race among the demons that was not restricted by the laws of heaven and earth and could freely enter and leave this continent."

Demon Emperor Moyuan pointed to the Imperial Records he had just put back and said, "That race is the true royal family of the demon race. However, strictly speaking, they are not actually demons."

"The ancestors of people like us were brought to this continent by a great power, like a flock of sheep being kept in a pen."

"At a specific time, the sheep will have their wool harvested, and their meat will be slaughtered and eaten."

"And we are to provide something even more important to that being."

"The Qi Luck of the Dao!"

"The demon and human races have been fighting for hundreds of thousands of years, but there has never been a result. That's because what that being needs is not for us to determine a winner, but for strong individuals to be born out of the constant struggle."

"That's also why, on this continent, no matter if they are demons or humans, after cultivating to the Nascent Divinity Realm, they will be captured by the Candle Dragon."

"But the process of struggle is also difficult to control. That being has a high cultivation and a long lifespan, so it's impossible to observe us at all times."

"Even the Candle Dragon can't see everything on the continent."

"Therefore, a special... referee is needed! To keep an eye on the changes between the demon and human races, and to prevent either side from suddenly rising in a short period of time and completely annihilating the other."

"The royal family of the demon race is the existence that plays such a role. They are not demons, but a branch of the dragon race, and they are in cooperation with that great power."

"Therefore, people of their race can cultivate at will, and after breaking through to the Nascent Divinity Realm, they will not be captured by the Candle Dragon. Instead, they can leave here directly by special means."

"What is recorded on this wooden tablet is their secret method."

The Great Wei side had been working hard to leave this prison.

The Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom was not without a plan.

It was just that the Great Wei side wanted to take all the humans of Great Wei away.

On the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom side, Demon Emperor Moyuan obviously didn't think so.

Yan Zehong nodded, and after understanding the cause and effect, he began to try to translate the information on the wooden tablet.

In the process, he multi-tasked and casually asked, "Since the true royal family was meant to balance the power of the human and demon races, why hasn't anything changed since they were exterminated?"

"Didn't the Candle Dragon and that powerful being make other arrangements?"

Demon Emperor Moyuan shook his head and said, equally puzzled, "Back then, after my ancestor successfully rebelled and exterminated the royal family, he was very flustered after discovering this. He was afraid of being liquidated by the Candle Dragon and that great power. But after such a long time, there has been no movement, and I am also a little strange."

"Perhaps they were delayed by something?"

After saying that, he looked at Yan Zehong with a smile and said softly, "Oh, I forgot to tell you."

"Your daughter has been incorporated into the Imperial City Garrison."

"And that young man named Shen Lin, I heard, has already fought his way to the vicinity."

"So..."

"You'd better speed things up a bit."

Hearing these words, a strong killing intent flashed in Yan Zehong's eyes.

But in the end, he could only shake his head and concentrate all his attention on the wooden tablet in front of him.

The words on the wooden tablet were even more obscure and difficult to understand than the previous ancient demon script.

Half an hour later, Yan Zehong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand, and a writing brush appeared in his palm.

Several blank sheets of paper appeared in front of him.

He wielded his brush like rain, and in the blink of an eye, he wrote lines of demon characters on those blank sheets of paper.

"Done!"

After doing all this, he put away the paper and handed it to Demon Emperor Moyuan.

Demon Emperor Moyuan took it and looked down.

For the first time, strong emotional fluctuations appeared on his face, which had always been very calm.

Surprise, shock...

After reading it once, he raised his head, his scorching gaze fixed on Yan Zehong.

He didn't know what he was thinking.

Yan Zehong looked calm, seemingly not worried at all that Demon Emperor Moyuan would cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Demon Emperor Moyuan threw Yan Zehong an identity jade token.

"Take this, and you can take your daughter away."

If it were anyone else, Demon Emperor Moyuan would definitely not let them leave alive after the matter was completed and they knew such a major secret.

But this guy Yan Zehong was hard to kill.

After turning against him, there was no way to eradicate the roots, and he would be left with a big trouble.

In that case, it was better to let the other party go and not offend each other.

Yan Zehong took the token, bowed and thanked him, and then left in a hurry.

Walking out of the treasure vault, he ignored the surprised and terrified eyes of the two guards, simply shook the token in his hand at them, and rushed directly out of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom's imperial palace.

Flying to the city wall, he found the city-guarding general as quickly as possible and learned the location of Qingqiu Wan'er.

This young girl of the Qingqiu fox clan was currently inspecting the city wall with great interest.

"Father? Why are you back? Aren't you..."

"There's no time to explain too much. We have to leave immediately."

Without explaining too much, he took Qingqiu Wan'er directly, without wasting a moment, and rushed towards the west gate of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom's capital.

Demon Emperor Moyuan didn't seem to care much about the approaching Shen Lin.

Perhaps in his view, although this human could kill his younger brother, he wouldn't pose any threat to the heavily defended and endlessly trumped-up Imperial Capital of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom.

It was just that the demons guarding the city might suffer some casualties.

But Yan Zehong knew Shen Lin's terror best.

He had no doubt that if that guy Shen Lin killed his way to the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom's capital, then this city would definitely be destroyed.

That guy had a World-Extinguishing Sword!

Yan Zehong felt a chill down his spine when he thought of the scene where Shen Lin snatched the World-Extinguishing Sword from Demon Emperor Moqiu before.

The power of the World Extinction Sword would destroy the capital of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom without any difficulty.

Therefore, the most dangerous place in the entire Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom right now is probably the city beneath their feet.

Just as he led Qingqiu Wan'er out of the west gate,

a hurried shout resounded throughout the city's sky.

"The human race is attacking!!!!!"
