Find an opportunity to wipe out the demon clan

“Just give me a quick death!”

“Heh!”

“In our hands, your life and death are not yours to decide.”

Chicken One’s voice plunged him into complete despair.

At this moment, Diao Deyi truly realized that the greatest helplessness in life was not life or death, but being unable to live or die.

In the end, he really couldn’t take it anymore.

His gaze fell on Zhong Qing, and after a moment of extreme hesitation and struggle, he spoke with a face full of unwillingness.

“I am willing to submit!”

“Please, make them stop!”

Compared to being enveloped by this endless humiliation, he was more willing to submit at Zhong Qing’s feet.

After all, demons admire strength.

Submitting to a stronger individual than oneself didn't seem as disgraceful.

Zhong Qing heard this and calmly took a sip of wine.

He was very satisfied with the efficiency of the Twelve Demon Generals.

Indeed, evil people need evil people to grind them down.

He walked in front of Diao Deyi, waved his hand, and signaled to the Twelve Demon Generals that it was enough.

Only then did the Twelve Demon Generals stop tormenting Diao Deyi.

“Master, I feel this guy is faking his submission.”

Chicken One flapped his wings, smoothed the three feathers on his head, and said thoughtfully.

“He doesn’t even want to call you Master.”

As soon as these words came out, Diao Deyi’s face twisted instantly.

Is this guy a devil?

Even if he submitted, there had to be a gradual process; he needed some time to accept it.

But now, this poultry’s single sentence completely negated him.

He wished he could directly devour Chicken One and the others alive.

But he could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

After another painful ideological struggle, Diao Deyi once again gritted his teeth and lowered his head, saying:

“Master, Diao Deyi hereby swears an Oath of the Heavenly Dao that my submission to you is absolutely sincere and without any ulterior motives. I hope Master will see clearly.”

He really had no choice but to make this decision.

Because he understood that in his current predicament, if he didn’t show absolute obedience, he probably wouldn’t end well.

Perhaps submission would still offer a glimmer of hope for survival.

At this, Chicken One and the others nodded in satisfaction.

The Oath of the Heavenly Dao is the strongest restraint on cultivators. The higher the cultivation, the less one dares to violate it. Once violated, one will surely suffer heavenly retribution; light cases result in the destruction of one’s cultivation path, while severe cases lead to the scattering of one’s soul.

It seemed their educational efforts were quite fruitful.

Zhong Qing looked at Diao Deyi, very satisfied, and slowly sat down beside him, then asked softly: “Now, do you still want to attack the human race?”

Diao Deyi lowered his head and said tremblingly: “No more!”

Zhong Qing then smiled and said: “You are teachable.”

He earnestly instructed: “Since you have submitted to me, you must remember from now on, while in Xuan Domain, whether with other humans or demons, you must be kind and friendly. Unless absolutely necessary, try not to resort to violence. Can you do that?”

Diao Deyi’s face was ashen as he said: “Understood, Master!”

At this moment, his heart was undoubtedly painful and somewhat twisted.

He had come with great ambitions, but before he even began to conquer human territory, he had already gotten himself into trouble.

He, a dignified great demon, was actually told to be kind and friendly!

All his resentment ultimately turned into a single question.

“Master, can you please tell me, who exactly are you?”

He was genuinely curious why such a powerful individual like Zhong Qing would appear at the border of the Four Continents.

And what exactly was his background?

Zhong Qing pondered for a moment and slowly said: “You will know my identity when the time comes. If you must have an identity here, you can call me the Domain Lord!”

Diao Deyi’s pupils narrowed slightly.

The Domain Lord of Xuan Domain?

The position of Domain Lord of Xuan Domain seemed grand, but it wasn't an easy job.

Because throughout Xuan Domain’s history, among so many Domain Lords, not a single one had managed to live a normal life.

They either gave up the position of Domain Lord and fled to other domains.

Because the Domain Lord of Xuan Domain naturally held the duty of governing Xuan Domain, meaning all living beings in Xuan Domain were theoretically under the Domain Lord’s command.

But the situation in Xuan Domain was such that the demon race was powerful, and those strong demons would simply not obey the Domain Lord of Xuan Domain.

In other words, this human Domain Lord would naturally stand in opposition to the demon race of Xuan Domain.

As for Fengtian Hall, it was far away and didn’t care that much.

And now that Diao Deyi had submitted to Zhong Qing, it was equivalent to him standing in opposition to all demons, and he too had entered this turbulent position.

If Zhong Qing had enough strength to unify the entire Xuan Domain, then it would be fine.

If he didn’t have enough strength…

Then his fate was imaginable.

Since so many previous Domain Lords hadn't met a good end, could Zhong Qing possess this strength?

Involuntarily, Diao Deyi once again looked at Zhong Qing, and at the same time, glanced at the two puppets beside Zhong Qing.

Facing Diao Deyi’s gaze, Zhong Qing met it.

He smiled faintly.

With a wave of his hand, the totem on his palm moved, and a black Qilin appeared in the air.

The moment Little Black appeared, Diao Deyi felt his bloodline pulsating.

Among the demon race, bloodline suppression was extremely powerful. Perhaps Little Black’s strength was not as great as Diao Deyi’s, but that kind of bloodline suppression almost made Diao Deyi unable to raise his head.

He looked at the Qilin with a shocked expression.

But then he also spotted Little Ga’s figure beside the Qilin.

Two ultimate bloodlines stirred up huge waves in his heart.

“How about it?”

Zhong Qing smiled faintly.

How could he not know Diao Deyi’s thoughts?

At the same time, having been in Xuan Domain for so long, he wasn't just playing around, so how could he not understand the situation in Xuan Domain?

Therefore, he knew exactly what Diao Deyi was thinking.

“Hoo…”

As Diao Deyi’s chest heaved, he respectfully said: “Master, I did not mean to underestimate you, but if Master can even subdue a Qilin, unifying Xuan Domain will surely be a piece of cake.”

If his previous submission to Zhong Qing was out of coercion.

And he felt uneasy about Zhong Qing’s identity as Domain Lord.

Then now, he saw another side.

If Zhong Qing was destined to lead the Xuan Domain demons, then by being the first to submit to Zhong Qing, would he become an elder?

It is said that misfortune is what fortune leans on, and fortune is what misfortune lurks in. This was an opportunity! An opportunity for him, and for the Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan, to soar to great heights.

Zhong Qing saw the change in his attitude.

Although it was very self-serving, humans and demons alike were like that, and it didn't matter.

He only cared about the result.

At his signal, the two Saint Realm puppets removed the restrictions on Diao Deyi.

As soon as the latter regained his ability to move, he knelt directly before Zhong Qing.

“Diao Deyi greets Master!”

“It was my ignorance earlier that offended Master. I hope Master will forgive me.”

Each “Master” was called out incredibly smoothly, even carrying a hint of flattery and subservience.

Zhong Qing waved his hand at him: “No need for such formality, rise!”

“Now I command you to lead the Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan to retreat. Do you have any objections?”

Regarding Zhong Qing’s first command, Diao Deyi naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

“As Master commands!”

“However, Master, Diao Deyi was very disrespectful to Master earlier, and my heart is uneasy. I can have the Golden-Winged Red Eagle Clan withdraw from this place and return to their ancestral territory. May I, your subordinate, follow Master’s side, serving you diligently to atone for my sins?”

Zhong Qing smiled.

This guy, who had just been so defiant, suddenly turned into a flatterer, which really made him a little unaccustomed.

However, he didn’t refuse.

He was just about to find an opportunity to round up all these demons, make the entire Xuan Domain harmonious and friendly, and preemptively resolve any troubles that being the Domain Lord might bring, so he could happily be the Domain Lord and find a Disciple.

So having a guide was quite good.

“For now, you may temporarily follow me and await my orders!”

“Thank you, Master!”

Diao Deyi was overjoyed.

Zhong Qing smiled faintly; this trip was now successfully concluded.

At the same time!

In Wanren City, another storm was brewing.
