The ring of fire formed by the flames looked barely thicker than a hair, but it was incredibly hot.

They stood frozen, their souls trembling, too afraid to move an inch.

They had no doubt that if their souls got too close and touched even a tiny spark, they would be burned to ashes!

But they knew that Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye had put them into the ring of fire to protect them, so they had no complaints.

The eighty powerful demons, who had just set up their tents and hadn't even settled down yet, received a communication signal from Shang Xiye.

All the powerful demons jumped up excitedly, exclaiming, "Young Master Shang's efficiency is truly astounding!"

Before their words of lamentation could even finish, they saw Ji Fengyao dragging Xique along, fleeing for their lives with Shang Xiye, An Zijin, Lu Yang, and the others. Behind them, demonic energy billowed like thick smoke, obscuring the sky and the sun.

The purity of that demonic energy was in no way inferior to that of the million-strong demonic beast army they fought against on the Origin Continent!

"My goodness, is there a monster legion here too?" a great sword tiger demon muttered in disbelief.

"Madam only said that there are demons in this plane, not that there is a demon beast army in this realm," said another great demon beside him.

"Hmph, you're just being naive. That woman is clearly using us as free thugs." Xue Bingling's face was extremely unpleasant as she said coldly, "We're following Young Master Shang, but now this woman has brought us here to work for her!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other great demons also darkened considerably.

From their limited understanding, what the Snow Fox Clan's holy maiden said actually made a lot of sense.

The Snow Fox Clan is generally considered to be more intelligent than other demon beast clans.

Hearing Xue Bingling speak like this, Xue Bingqing feared it would cause a disturbance among the other demon beasts.

If Shang Xiye were to settle scores later, it would likely bring disaster upon their Snow Fox Clan. So he quickly tried to salvage the situation, saying, "Your Highness, that's not how it works. Humans value their Daoist partners far more than we demon beasts do."

Putting aside others, just looking at the deep affection that Young Master Shang has shown for his wife these past few days, one should know how important she is to him.

The lady treated the young master Shang in the same way.

Therefore, our loyalty to Young Master Shang is our loyalty to Madam, and our loyalty to Madam is our loyalty to Young Master Shang.

"The young master and his wife are family; it makes no difference which one we serve."

Upon hearing this, the great demons exclaimed, "Ah, this makes even more sense!"

They didn't just eat all that dog food along the way for nothing; this ironclad evidence is still stuck in their throats, they haven't digested it yet!

Xue Bingling suddenly glared at Xue Bingqing, then roared with her divine sense: "Traitor, you are not worthy to call me Your Highness! I, the Holy Maiden, hereby declare that from this day forward, you are expelled from the Snow Fox Clan. You shall never again approach the territory or any of my Snow Fox Clan members!"

"Your Highness, I...you..." Xue Bingqing was truly at a loss for words.

He merely spoke up for his wife, stating that with a formidable enemy at hand, it was best to avoid inciting other powerful demons and causing chaos.

He acted entirely out of concern for the greater good and for the sake of their Snow Fox clan, which led to his expulsion.

However, Xue Bingqing has no chance to defend herself right now.

Ji Fengyao, Shang Xiye, and the other four had already rushed forward.

"According to your cultivation level, leave thirty people with relatively lower cultivation levels to feign escape with us, and the remaining fifty people should conceal their auras and spread out to follow and ambush us." As soon as Shang Xiye approached everyone, he quickly assigned tasks to them.
