Just as Song Xiwei said, Aoqian was indeed able to track down the Demon King.

But ever since Xuan Ce appeared, he has been unable to sense the presence of the Demon King.

I wonder if they were silenced.

If that's the case...

Aoqian's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

The chaos that the demon race has caused with the human realm is terrifying to contemplate.

He then sent a telepathic message to Song Xiwei, telling her that he might need some more time to return and asking her to take care of herself and contact him anytime.

When Aoqian did not receive an immediate reply from Song Xiwei after sending a telepathic message, he decided to go to the demon clan's headquarters to find out what was going on.

Several of those demon elites greatly admired Aoqian. Although Aoqian was known for keeping strangers at a distance, he had indeed made the demon race thrive in the past two years.

One of the elites, who was the most influential among them, proposed to follow the Demon Lord, even if it meant sacrificing himself to serve him.

Of the other elites, two who hesitated were persuaded to return to Chidu.

So, of the original ten elites, six remained. These six elites bowed deeply to Aoqian and told him that they were willing to follow him and serve him in any way the Demon Lord could arrange.

To express their loyalty, they used the highest form of ritual among the demons—kowtowing.

In fact, after Song Xiwei arrived in Chidu, Aoqian knew that Song Xiwei did not care about formalities and disliked exploiting the lower class.

Therefore, the demon race does not actually have much of a class system.

As for Aoqian, the Demon Lord, he has never been harsh on the people under his command.

Over the past two years, although the Demon Lord has remained stern and unapproachable, he has also liberated many people from the lower classes.

Ao, a potential demon, always issues orders and his subordinates carry out tasks. He demands results and decisions.

And now, these grassroots elites are actually pledging their loyalty to him at this time.

That was quite unexpected.

For no apparent reason, he remembered Song Xiwei's words.

"The good deeds you do and forgive others today will turn into blessings that will come back to you in the future. Don't disbelieve me. You abolished the class system of the demon race, which has relieved many people at the bottom of society from their suffering. Although the demon race is peaceful now and you can't see anything, when you need people in the future, there will definitely be people who are willing to fight for you."

Aoqian replied to Song Xiwei at the time, "I will handle my own affairs; I don't need anyone else!"

"But sometimes, being alone for too long can be tiring. Having more strength is good too. Look, you used to do things your own way and never thought that one day you could walk side by side with me!"

Having collected his thoughts, Aoqian, unusually, no longer had such a cold expression when facing the elites in front of him.

"If you're willing to follow me, then follow me."

As soon as Ao Qian spoke, those elites were all extremely excited.

Before arriving at the demon clan's main camp, Ao Qian had already formulated a plan.

Seeing that Aoqian had decided to take the risk himself instead of sending them, these elites couldn't help but volunteer to Aoqian, "Your Majesty, please let your subordinates go and gather intelligence. How can you risk your life alone!"

"It's alright, it's hardly dangerous. I have other plans for you all."

After Aoqian finished explaining his requirements, the elites thought it was too simple; it was just to let them infiltrate the demon race and spread some rumors.

"Do the things I've assigned you well, and you don't need to worry about anything else." Before leaving to handle his own business, Ao Qian thought of something, glanced back at the elites who were looking at him expectantly, and gave them a rare word of advice, "The things I've assigned you are simple, but you're still taking risks on someone else's turf. Remember, the mission is secondary; your personal safety is the most important. If anything goes wrong, protect yourselves first."

After giving his instructions, Aoqian vanished in a flash.

Those elites never imagined they would receive such care from the Demon Lord.

But right now, everyone's acting like they've been injected with adrenaline.

"We are confident that we can accomplish such a simple task assigned by His Majesty!"
