[The sudden change caused Ye Yu and Bai Xichu’s expressions to shift drastically.]
[They imdiately soared into the air from the Demon Hall to observe the situation outside.]
[They saw that the three moons hanging in the sky were trembling violently.]
[Gradually, they began to lose their radiance.]
[The entire Demon Realm was plunged into darkness.]
[Then, the surrounding demonic energy surged violently.]
[A distant purple light began to shine, shooting up toward the heavens.]
[The intensity of the aura made their souls tremble.]
[Seeing this, Ye Yu felt deeply confused, unable to understand what was happening.]
[Bai Xichu murmured softly beside him, “The demonic energy is reviving, and stronger demons are awakening!”]
[Ye Yu recalled what she had previously told him.]
[Instantly, he understood.]
[The Demon King-level demons were still in a deep slumber.]
[Now, as the demonic energy of the Demon Realm revived, these powerful beings were beginning to awaken.]
[So, the celestial anomaly was a sign of this.]
[After a long while.]
[Everything returned to calm.]
[The previously disappearing moons once again shone with their light.]
[Once more, they illuminated the Demon Realm’s lands.]
[Ye Yu and Bai Xichu were about to return to the Demon Hall.]
[Suddenly, they felt a powerful surge of demonic energy rapidly approaching.]
[They turned their heads.]
[They saw a dark figure, like a ghost, appear above the Demon Hall.]
[Bai Xichu furrowed her brow and softly murmured, “Demon Lord Bai Zhengmiao.”]
[Indeed, the figure was none other than Bai Zhengmiao, the Demon Lord of Demon City!]
[Upon his arrival, the demon guards in the Demon Hall imdiately rushed to capture him!]
[But Bai Zhengmiao casually waved his hand, and dozens of streams of demonic energy entered the guards’ bodies.]
[The high-level Earth Demon cultivators instantly froze.]
[Their eyes shut tight, their faces filled with fear.]
[Within monts, they fell to the ground, lifeless.]
[The death of these demons triggered Ye Yu’s “Teammate Sacrifice” and “Limitless Mana” talents.]
[Much of the demonic energy gathered within Ye Yu’s body.]
[Helping him fully enter the mid-stage of Mystic Demon.]
[At this mont.]
[Bai Zhengmiao’s gaze landed on Ye Yu.]
[With a mocking smile, he said, “So you are the one rumored to possess the Demon King-level power, Ye Yu?”]
[“Though I don’t know how you made others believe that, I’m certain you are no Demon King.”]
[“Because the true Demon King has only just awakened today!”]
[Upon hearing these words.]
[Ye Yu couldn’t be bothered to explain.]
[After all, the dead don’t need explanations!]
[He suddenly stepped forward, and the demonic energy around him began to boil.]
[Seeing Ye Yu prepare to take action,]
[Bai Xichu also began gathering demonic energy to assist.]
[If they could kill the Demon Lord Bai Zhengmiao here today,]
[Their future attack on Demon City would surely be unstoppable, easily bringing it under their control and unifying Dongyao Province.]
[However, Bai Xichu thought the situation might not be so simple.]
[Everyone in Dongyao Province knew.]
[Bai Zhengmiao was a notoriously cautious Demon Lord.]
[He would never act unless he was absolutely certain of success.]
[So why would he co here alone today?]
[What could be the reason for this?]
[As Bai Xichu pondered,]
[Bai Zhengmiao suddenly sneered, turned, and clasped his hands.]
[“I welco the arrival of Elder Chang.”]
[As soon as the words left his mouth,]
[Rolling black mist appeared on the horizon, rushing toward them.]
[A terrifying pressure descended upon the entire Demon Hall.]
[The mist quickly coalesced into an extrely thin, middle-aged man.]
[His cheeks were sunken, his face waxy pale.]
[He looked like a starving ghost that hadn’t eaten for tens of thousands of years.]
[Upon seeing this person’s appearance,]
[Bai Xichu’s face changed dramatically, and she cried out in shock.]
["The Sky-Devouring Corpse Demon, Chang Ronggu!"]
[Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.]
[It had to be said, this na certainly sounded like soone significant.]
[Curious, he silently asked, “The Sky-Devouring Corpse Demon? Is he famous?”]
[Bai Xichu clenched her teeth and slowly began to explain Chang Ronggu’s background.]
[Demon City had had its na for centuries.]
[It was known for producing thirty-six powerful figures who had surpassed the Demon King realm.]
[The Sky-Devouring Corpse Demon was one of them.]
[Before Bai Xichu fell into her slumber, she had encountered him once.]
[In the Demon Realm, Chang Ronggu was notorious.]
[In a battle against three opponents of the sa level, he defeated them all and consud their flesh, achieving the peak of the Demon King realm.]
[This battle made him famous.]
[There had even been speculation that he might now possess the power to fight against a Demon Monarch.]
[Even though this speculation had never been confird,]
[It was undeniable that Chang Ronggu’s strength was terrifying!]
[He was practically invincible at his level.]
[Bai Xichu had never imagined that Bai Zhengmiao would manage to bring such a formidable warrior here.]
[In this mont, with the demonic energy just beginning to revive,]
[This was an overwhelming strike from a higher dinsion!]
[Chang Ronggu slightly parted his lips, releasing a breath of cold air.]
[His eyes were filled with greed as he looked at Ye Yu and Bai Zhengmiao.]
[With a hoarse voice, he said, “Such rich blood energy... Demon Lord Bai Zhengmiao, you have kept your word.”]
[“I’ll rember this favor!”]
[Bai Zhengmiao smiled but did not speak.]
[In fact, ten years ago,]
[He had already sensed the fluctuations in the demonic energy of the Demon Realm.]
[So he boldly guessed that the demonic energy would revive.]
[And with it, more powerful demons would awaken.]
[Sure enough, two months ago, he discovered that Chang Ronggu, who had been sleeping in Demon City, had regained so consciousness.]
[Although he had not fully awakened, he could already communicate through his spiritual voice.]
[This excited Bai Zhengmiao!]
[After all, Bai Zhengmiao, Bai Xichu, and Bai Yongzhe were all newly appointed Demon Lords.]
[Had it not been for the recent upheaval in the Demon Realm, they would never have been able to control such vast territories.]
[They had only risen to power after the older Demon Lords fell into slumber.]
[However, with the revival of the demonic energy,]
[The strength of these new Demon Lords had begun to seem insufficient.]
[Therefore, they urgently needed the support of higher-level demons.]
[And with Chang Ronggu’s early awakening, Bai Zhengmiao saw an opportunity.]
[He imdiately began building relationships and showing goodwill.]
[Chang Ronggu expressed that after sleeping for so long, he was in desperate need of rich blood to nourish himself.]
[Only by doing so could he return to his peak state.]
[Hearing this request, Bai Zhengmiao imdiately promised that once Chang Ronggu fully awakened,]
[He would provide abundant blood and flesh for him to consu.]
[His true intention was to use Chang Ronggu to kill Bai Yongzhe and Bai Xichu,]
[And then, he would beco the true ruler of Dongyao Province!]
[There was a small hiccup with Bai Yongzhe’s death,]
[But that didn’t matter—using the newly risen Ye Yu as a source of flesh and blood was a great alternative!]
