"you're awake."

"How long have I slept?"

"Not much, no more than twenty days."

Xie Wanning woke up instantly, recognizing the person speaking to her as Qing Qiuyu. She asked anxiously, "What have you done?"

"Yes, we've destroyed two countries and occupied fifteen cities. The human race has been forced to eke out a living under the protection of the eight major sects," Qingqiu Yu said casually.

Xie Wanning's mind went blank. She bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled.

Qingqiu Yu wiped Xie Wanning's mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile, "Wanning, don't be angry. I didn't go too far. I didn't massacre those countries and towns that surrendered willingly!"

Conversely, if anyone offers excessive resistance, Qingqiu Yu will make an example of them.

Xie Wanning's face grew paler and paler. She felt that Qing Qiuyu in front of her was unfamiliar and cruel, completely different from Qiu Ling in her memory who would hug her and call her "Sister Xu".

"Snapped!"

Xie Wanning forcefully slapped Qing Qiuyu's hand away, her voice trembling slightly: "Why did you do that? Humans and demons can clearly live in peace."

"Peaceful coexistence? What a joke!" Qing Qiuyu's face turned cold, and even his tone became much harsher: "Humans are cunning, plotting to imprison my mother in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. For three hundred years, demons have only been able to serve as slaves to humans, being auctioned off, tamed, and slaughtered. Humans and demons are on different paths and cannot end up together. Xie Wanning, put away your self-righteous kindness and go see the real world of cultivation."

"This is a cultivation world where the strong prey on the weak and the mighty reign supreme. I am the Demon Emperor, and I am responsible for the entire demon race. In the past year, cracks have appeared in the demon realm, from which chaotic energy has spread. Demons and spirit beasts have all turned into demonic cultivators and demonic beasts. For the future of the demon race, this war must begin."

"There's a negotiation between the human and demon race this afternoon. Come with me to see the human race's attitude, and see if they will give up the land out of kindness, or continue to resist without hesitation."

Qingqiu Yu touched Xie Wanning's head, and two rabbit ears suddenly appeared.

"You will accompany me as my personal servant!" Qingqiu Yu's voice was gentle, and the previous majesty was gone from his eyes.

Xie Wanning pursed her lips and nodded with difficulty. She hoped that the negotiations could proceed peacefully and that the human and demon races would not reach a point of life and death.

in the afternoon.

The Demon Emperor's Palace.

The leaders of the eight major sects and their personal disciples were waiting in the hall. Qingqiu Yu sat confidently on the high platform with his head held high, while Xie Wanning lowered her head and silently watched everything below the platform.

She is now just a little rabbit demon, wearing a veil so that her face cannot be seen.

"Esteemed sect leaders, it is truly an honor for me to have you all present for the peace talks between the human and demon races today," Qingqiu Yu said with a light smile. "I know your time is precious, and if these talks take too long, it will inevitably delay your affairs."

"So, I'll get straight to the point. I want the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Valley of a Hundred Herbs, two of the eight major sects, to submit to the demon race. Only then can I stop the war and allow humans and demons to live in peace."

Qingqiu Yu said excitedly, but was met with silence from the audience.

"Snapped!"

"A fool's dream!" Ling Moqing, the sect leader of Yunxiao Sect, slammed his fist on the table and leaped to his feet.

Subsequently, the other sect leaders and their personal disciples launched their attacks, unleashing countless assaults upon Qingqiu Yu.

"If negotiations fail, then we'll say nothing more." Qingqiu Yu's eyes turned purple, and nine tails appeared behind her. The pressure of the Mahayana stage instantly covered the entire palace.

At the same time, the four divine beasts appeared in the room. Their powerful pressure and divine power made all the attacks of everyone present disappear. The disciples all coughed up blood and fell to the ground, while the sect leaders stood up with great effort.

However, the moment they locked eyes with Qingqiu Yu, a powerful bewitching spell was unleashed, bewitching many sect leaders and plunging them into a deep sleep. Only Yan Ze, wielding the Purple Lightning Sword, struggled to stay afloat.

This negotiation was originally a trap set by Qing Qiuyu. The room was filled with sleeping potions and illusion arrays, which interfered with everyone's minds from the very beginning, leaving everyone groveling at Qing Qiuyu's feet.

"Yan Ze, this is an agreement. Sign this and all of you will be safe. Otherwise, I don't mind the complete annihilation of the eight major sects." Qing Qiu Yu's lips curled into a smug smile.

Back then, her mother, Qingqiu Ling, also won over the people with absolute strength, which enabled the human and demon races to sign a peace treaty.

Having obtained her mother's cultivation technique, she will naturally fulfill her mother's wish.

She must protect the demon race; the future of the demon race is in her hands.

Suddenly, a silver-white sword was placed against Qingqiu Yu's neck.

"Stop, Qingqiu Yu."

Xie Wanning's face was filled with sorrow. She finally realized that the demon before her was not Qiu Ling, but Qing Qiu Yu, the demon emperor who was wholeheartedly devoted to the demon race. The Luo Ze sword trembled slightly, yet it drew ever closer to Qing Qiu Yu's neck.

Why are you alright?

"Because I am the one who made a pact with the Four Divine Beasts, and the seductive arts have lost their effect on me," Xie Wanning shook her head, unwilling to look at the enraged Qingqiu Yu in front of her.

She was bewitched by Qing Qiuyu because she still believed the demon before her was Qiu Ling, and only Qiu Ling could make Xie Wanning lower her guard. However, Qiu Ling was Qing Qiuyu, and Qing Qiuyu was no longer the Qiu Ling of the past.

"I will not stop. I have been preparing for this day for three hundred years. I will definitely revitalize the demon race!" Qingqiu Yu shouted shrilly.

"Stop?" Xie Wanning gave Qing Qiuyu a deep look, wishing she could see even a trace of remorse.

However, only two cold, indifferent replies came: "Keep going."

A cold glint flashed, and a head fell to the ground.

Xie Wanning's hands were covered in blood, and she trembled uncontrollably.

She killed Qiu Ling and the Demon Emperor Qing Qiu Yu. She was human, and ultimately could not stand with the demon race.

The bewitching spell has been dispelled, and everyone is about to awaken.

Xie Wanning sheathed her sword and turned to leave.

Unexpectedly, someone called out to her.

"Wait a moment."

It was Yan Ze's voice, but Xie Wan Ning didn't turn around.

"Xu Weilin, turn around."

Xie Wanning looked at the Luoze sword in her hand and sighed softly.

She turned her head and walked step by step towards Yan Ze: "Sect Leader Yan, what do you want with me?"

"You're still alive, and you even infiltrated the demon race. You killed the Demon Emperor, which is a great achievement. Do you want to return to the sect and have your previous mistakes wiped clean?" Yan Ze said, staring intently into Xie Wan Ning's eyes.

Xie Wanning laughed. Was she going to trade her friend's life for a chance to survive? How ridiculous.

"The people of the Twilight Snow Sect probably don't want to hide anymore, do they?"

Xie Wanning looked up and met Yan Ze's cold eyes, then nodded.

"Then come back and continue being the senior sister of Qingyun Sect, Xie Wanning." Yan Ze quickly removed Xie Wanning's veil, revealing her face.

Xie Wanning stared wide-eyed at Yan Ze in disbelief.

"Wan Ning, your eyes haven't changed no matter how much time has passed. These eyes are exactly the same as your father's." Yan Ze's cold voice resounded throughout the palace, causing Xie Wan Ning to tremble involuntarily.

This was the first time Yan Ze had spoken of her father in front of her.

"Watch out!" Yan Ze suddenly pulled Xie Wan Ning behind him, his Purple Lightning Sword emitting a burst of purple light as it blocked her path.

"Bang!"

The Purple Lightning Sword swiftly severed the bow and arrow.

Qingqiu Yu, holding a bow, wiped the blood from his cheek and sneered, "I didn't expect the Qingyun Sect Leader to protect a rabbit demon."

"She is not a rabbit demon, but Xie Wanning, the eldest disciple of my Qingyun Sect," Yan Ze said sternly.

"boom!"

The entire palace shook rapidly, and with a "crack," it actually split open.

Huge cracks appeared in the earth, and many unconscious members of the main sect and their disciples were about to fall into the cracks.

The four divine beasts suddenly appeared and caught the person who was about to fall into the crevice.

A hint of helplessness flashed in Qingqiu Yu's eyes as she looked at Yan Ze: "This is the current state of the demon realm. Many of these unknown rifts have already appeared."

Spiritual and demonic energy emanated from the crack, which was bottomless and seemed capable of swallowing everyone.

"This is a fissure in the earth caused by the agitation of chaotic energy," Yan Ze said calmly, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

"What do you mean?" Xie Wanning pressed.

"The chaotic energy lies hidden beneath the earth. Once it surges forth, it will erode people's minds and cause them to fall into demonic possession. The appearance of the cracks in the earth indicates that the cultivation world is currently very unstable."

Suddenly, a long, drawn-out bell rang out.

"Boom! Boom!"
