Desperate Love: Rebirth of the Demon King

"Your Highness, now that we have captured the four guardians of the Divine Realm alive, it is time for the Divine Realm to apologize to us." Yuan Ze's eyes were as cold as ice, and he looked straight at Bai Ji like a cold star.

"That's right, the God Realm has bullied our Demon Realm one after another, and today we must give an explanation." Hu Xiu also echoed, his voice full of anger.

"The God Realm keeps saying that all beings in the six realms are equal, but they try to bully our demon world and act arrogantly. They really need an explanation." Bi Cangyan, who has never cared about others, also spoke.

"What explanation do you want?" Bai Ji asked in a low voice.

"Withdraw from the demon world, issue a decree to the six worlds, issue a confession of guilt, and promise never to invade the demon world again, and then apologize to the demon world." Hu Xiu, who was the most indignant towards the divine world, was the first to stand up and shouted at the top of his voice.

"That's just a pipe dream..." Baihu flatly refused.

"Do you have the right to speak now?" Hu Xiu threatened immediately. His voice was like thunder and his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Baihu.

Bai Ji looked at Yu Xiaobai with complicated eyes and asked, "Does your Highness the Demon King think the same way?"

Yu Xiaobai shook his head nonchalantly, then said calmly, "What the Second Elder said just now is exactly what I'm thinking at the moment. What do you think? Do you want to continue the fight or apologize?"

Although she hated Hu Xiu to the extreme, she had to admit that the conditions Hu Xiu proposed at this time were flawless. The demon world had been oppressed by the divine world for ten thousand years, and now they just wanted them to issue a confession of guilt, apologize, and promise not to invade the demon world again. They didn't ask them to cede land or pay compensation, nor did they make excessive demands, did they?

Bai Ji stared at Yu Xiaobai, then looked at the four elders and the left and right protectors who were coming with a menacing momentum, and he couldn't help but feel worried again.

What Yu Xiaobai said was true. If he continued to be stubborn, the whole army would be annihilated again. The God Realm would definitely send more troops to conquer the Demon Realm. If this continued, both sides would lose more than they gained, and more innocent soldiers would die.

"I am willing to lead all the soldiers to withdraw from the demon world, but I am sorry that I cannot agree to Hu Xiu's suggestion to issue orders to the six worlds." After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Bai Ji decided to withdraw his troops.

The loss of the God Realm was so heavy that he could no longer sit idly by. Even if the Emperor of Heaven would blame him in the end, he had to leave.

"Lord Baiji..." Zhuque called out softly in panic, but did not say another word.

"I have one more request. If you want me to withdraw my troops, you must release the four divine envoys from my divine world." Bai Ji put forward another condition.

"Lord Baiji, don't you think your suggestion is a little ridiculous?" Hu Xiu shouted again.

Yuan Ze moved to Yu Xiaobai's side and whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, the four divine envoys must not be let go. We need to wait until Lord Bai Ji leaves, and then have him speak to the Emperor of Heaven to issue a confession of guilt to the six realms as soon as possible. Only after the decree is announced can we release the four divine envoys."

After hearing what Yuan Ze said, Yu Xiaobai felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he said to Bai Ji: "Lord Bai Ji, the four divine envoys can be released, but not at this time. After you return to the divine world, ask your Emperor for permission, issue a confession of guilt and publicly apologize to the demon world, and then it will not be too late to release them."

Bai Ji was furious when he heard what Yu Xiaobai said, but he was speechless. He then said, "Okay, I will report the matter of the imperial edict to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven. But if the four guardians of the divine world make any mistakes in your demon world, I will lead my troops to flatten the demon world again."

"Lord Baiji, please stop making such wild statements. If your world of gods can really crush my world of demons, why would you still need to negotiate terms with us?" Hu Xiu jumped out and said sarcastically again.

"Lord Bai Ji, I promise you that after the gods announce the confession of guilt to the demon world to all six realms, the four divine messengers will be returned to you safely." Yu Xiaobai immediately made the promise to Bai Ji.

"I hope that Your Highness the Demon King will keep his word." Bai Ji said to Yu Xiaobai with cold eyes.

"Hmph..." Yu Xiaobai raised the corner of her mouth and snorted coldly. She has always been a person who values ​​her promises, but Bai Ji actually questioned her.

Bai Ji was not angry when he saw Yu Xiaobai's attitude, but ordered his soldiers: "All soldiers, listen up, withdraw from the demon world immediately and return to the divine world to report. There must not be any delay!"

His high-pitched voice was filled with sadness, and it echoed in the empty battlefield, causing pain in everyone's eardrums.

After receiving Bai Ji's order, the gods' soldiers seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. They immediately began to form a team and hurriedly evacuate the demon world.

Everyone in the demon world watched helplessly as the soldiers from the divine world quickly evacuated Yuwu City like a tide, as hurriedly as they had arrived.

In the end, Bai Ji also took away the bodies of all the gods' soldiers who died in the battle.

Looking at the previously crowded venue now becoming empty, only the corpses of the dead demons lying in a mess seemed to be telling of the cruelty of the battle.

Everyone knew in their hearts that they did not win the battle at all. Not only did they not win, but they lost miserably.

"The gods have suffered heavy losses, and so have we." Yu Xiaobai looked at the tragic scene before her, and disgust and fear of war surged in her heart again. The fear surged into her heart like a tide, almost drowning her.

"The God Realm has repeatedly provoked us, and this war is inevitable. Although we suffered heavy losses, we still managed to drive the God Realm out of the Demon Realm." Yuan Ze comforted him, and his words were also like this. How could he not be sad in his heart?

Yes, they suffered heavy losses and lost many lives, but they still won in the end. Their victory was so difficult, so bitter, so sad, and without any joy or happiness.

"Great Elder, the task of cleaning up the battlefield is left to you! I should go find Ruofeng." Yu Xiaobai's gaze fell on Yuan Ze, his tone so heavy as if he was carrying a thousand-pound burden.

She hated war, but could not escape it. Now that the war was finally over, she couldn't wait to leave the demon world and find the whereabouts of Helan Ruofeng.

"Then what should we do with the four envoys of the divine world?" Yuan Ze asked.

"Lock them up directly, and after the divine world's edict of repentance is issued, you can arrange for their release." Yu Xiaobai explained carefully, with a hint of firmness in her voice.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and added, "Remember, you must not let the Second Elder do anything excessive to the Four Divine Envoys. Although we won by chance this time, if the Divine Realm insists on fighting us to the death, it will not do us any good."

Hu Xiu's hatred for the gods has penetrated deep into his bones. Now that the four guardians of the gods' realm are detained by the demon realm, he will definitely take action.

"As long as I am here, I don't think Hu Xiu would dare to act recklessly. But, forgive me for saying one thing, Master Helan gave up his cultivation and cut out his inner elixir to save Your Highness. Now, Master Helan has disappeared, where are you going to find him?" Yuan Ze asked worriedly.

He was worried about more than just Yu Xiaobai's life or death. The safety of the demon world's master was crucial, and Yu Xiaobai's departure was related to the stability of the demon world. Moreover, the current situation was turbulent, and Bai Ji promised to ask the Emperor of Heaven to issue an edict of repentance.

However, what if the Emperor of Heaven ignored Bai Ji's request and instead raised troops to attack the demon world again?

There will surely be another bloody storm by then. Without Yu Xiaobai, the lord of the demon world, where will these elders go and who will they fight for?

"If Ruofeng hadn't been willing to open his elixir to save me, I would have died long ago. Now that the crisis in the demon world has been temporarily resolved, I must find him as soon as possible." Yu Xiaobai stared at Yuan Ze with firm eyes and said in a decisive tone.

"What should we do if the gods invade again?" Yuan Ze looked at Yu Xiaobai with a serious face and asked solemnly.

"Then let's fight them to the death. Now, the soldiers we can muster are no more than four or five hundred thousand, and even if we count all the subjects of the demon world, it will never exceed tens of millions. I'm sure it's the same in the God World. I know nothing about the character of the Emperor of Heaven. Even if we want to redeploy troops to attack the demon world, it will not be effective in a short time. Great Elder, don't forget that the Four Symbols Guardians of the God World are still imprisoned by us." Yu Xiaobai's words were loud and clear, reminding Yuan Ze not to lose his composure.

"Your Highness, do you really have to go?" Yuan Ze's words contained both anger and earnest expectations. He hoped that his monarch could be rational for once and make a wise decision.

"Great Elder, I have to go find Ruofeng now. If the God Realm attacks the Demon Realm again, please call me back. Don't worry, I will never abandon my people." Yu Xiaobai didn't want to waste even a moment talking to Yuan Ze. As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly fled from Yuwu City.

Yuan Ze looked at Yu Xiaobai who was flying away, and the ferocious beast Huo Dou who disappeared behind him, and felt helpless for a moment.

"Fourth Elder, I'd like to trouble you to personally lead people to look after these people." Yuan Ze earnestly entrusted the important task of guarding the four guards to Bi Cangyan.

"Okay, I will do my best to fulfill the mission!" Bi Cangyan accepted the task without hesitation.

After saying this, he immediately stepped forward and performed magic himself, firmly imprisoning Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise, locking their spiritual energy and making it impossible for them to perform magic.

Only then did he order the five sons of the Red Fox family to escort the four divine envoys back to Luoqueyuan for detention.

Baihu has always had the most violent temper. At this time, his magic was restrained, and after cursing a few words, he could only follow obediently. The other three had no intention of resisting.

"Great Elder, is my Maple Ridge not worthy of holding prisoners?" Hu Xiu suddenly stepped forward and said angrily.

"Just your broken Maple Ridge? Ji Wu has already turned it into a doghouse, and you still hold prisoners there? Are you trying to be a spy for the God Realm and help the Four God Envoys escape?" Ming Changyi sarcastically said without mercy.

"Ming Changyi? Who do you say is a spy from the God Realm? Whose Maple Ridge is a doghouse? How does it look like a doghouse? Do you believe that I will tear down your Jiuming City right away? Tear your mouth apart?" Hu Xiu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and cursed Ming Changyi directly.

"Shut up! What are you still arguing about at this time? If the Emperor of Heaven doesn't agree to our conditions, what will you two do?" Yuan Ze was already very annoyed, and seeing these two people arguing without knowing the seriousness of the matter, he finally couldn't help but yelled.

Ming Changyi had always obeyed Yuan Ze's orders. After Yuan Ze yelled at him, he immediately became obedient and said, "I will go back to Jiuming City and gather all the citizens and soldiers to start training immediately to prevent the God Realm from going back on its word and attacking again."

After saying that, without waiting for Yuan Ze to scold him, he ran away as fast as if he had greased his feet.

When Ming Changyi left, his subordinates Gu Chenyang and Qingyu Chengfeng saw that their elders had slipped away, so they hurriedly followed him.

"What about you? Elder Hu? Are you still planning to continue living in Yuwu City?" Yuan Ze looked at Hu Xiu angrily, his eyes full of blame.

"Now that the two brothers Ji and Wu are dead, I will return to Maple Ridge and summon all the citizens and soldiers to prepare for battle." Hu Xiu imitated him and said.

"If that's the case, then go back quickly!" Yuan Ze said in a deep voice. He was also tired and didn't want to get angry with Hu Xiu anymore.

Hu Xiu was so happy to hear this that he felt as if he had been pardoned. He thought that since Ji Wu was dead, it was finally his turn to be the master of Fengmulin. He said goodbye to Yuan Ze and rushed to Fengmulin in a hurry.

After the three elders had left, Yuan Ze turned his gaze to the left and right protectors Mu Yun and Zhao Ge who had been waiting beside him.

"Great Elder, is there anything that requires my two brothers to do?" Zhao Ge couldn't help but asked first.

"Now, there are only a few soldiers left in the demon world, only more than 400,000. I would like to ask the two protectors to properly settle them!" Yuan Ze did not beat around the bush and spoke bluntly.

"Of course. The soldiers in the demon world are led by the left and right protectors. Now that Kunlongze is ownerless, we will place them there for the time being." Zhao Ge responded without delay.

"Kunlongze was previously Xiao Yu's territory. Since Xiao Yu's death, it has become an ownerless land. It is the most suitable place to accommodate our soldiers. However, I have something to discuss with you." Yuan Ze changed the subject and said.

"What advice do you have, Great Elder? Feel free to speak up," Zhao Ge asked immediately.

"Your Highness has gone out alone to look for Master Helan. Even though he has his spiritual pet Huo Dou accompanying him, I am still worried. I wonder who of you two thinks is more suitable to accompany Your Highness?" Yuan Ze's eyes wandered between Mu Yun and Zhao Ge, and he asked deliberately tentatively.

To put it bluntly, he was worried about Yu Xiaobai's safety. Although Yu Xiaobai's current strength could not be underestimated, there were many powerful masters in the world. If many masters of the immortal sects joined forces to attack her, she might lose her life like Xiao Yu.

As the left and right guards of His Majesty the Demon King, Zhao Ge and Mu Yun should provide close protection.

"Let me protect His Highness! Zhao Ge, you stay in the demon world and make sure all the soldiers are settled." Mu Yun took the lead and spoke first.

"You talk as if no one would compete with you. Don't worry, I will take care of all the soldiers. You should go quickly, or you will miss your highness if you are late." Zhao Ge said with a teasing smile on his face.

How could he not know that his brother was deeply in love with His Highness? Even if His Highness already had a husband, his good brother would definitely be willing to stay by His Highness' side.

"Thank you! I will go find Your Highness now, take care!" Mu Yun clasped his fists and bowed to Zhao Ge and Yuan Ze, then turned around and left Yuwu City, rushing towards Kunlongze as if a ghost was chasing him.

"That's great. I'll have to trouble Zhao Ge to protect the soldiers. As for the dead and wounded on the battlefield, I will take good care of them." Yuan Ze said gratefully.

"Okay..." Zhao Ge said nothing more and turned around to arrange the last remaining demon soldiers on the battlefield.

When Bai Ji led a group of defeated soldiers back to the God Realm to report, the Emperor of Heaven was furious. Especially when Bai Ji said that the four guardians of the God Realm were detained by the Demon Realm and asked the Emperor of Heaven to publicly apologize to the Demon Realm, the Emperor of Heaven was like a ignited gunpowder barrel, and instantly became extremely furious.
