Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating and drinking, Ji Fengyao raised her hand and clapped twice.

Two teams of powerful demons, ranging from seventh to ninth rank, filed forward and formed a circle in the very center of the alchemy plaza amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd.

Ji Fengyao waved her hand again, releasing Jin Zhongsi, Dong Dan Jinghong, and the others who had been imprisoned in the Tower of Life for so long that they had lost track of time.

A commotion immediately arose among those present, and they began to whisper among themselves:

"Patriarch Jin?!"

"Wasn't the Jin family wiped out? Why is the Jin family head here?"

"That is... the young master of the Dongdan family, Dongdan Jinghong!"

"And the young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Bo!"

"Oh, the Zhou family has come today, but not a single member of the Dongdan family has come."

Ji Fengyao stood up, walked around the table, came to the front of the stage, and said loudly to everyone: "Fellow Daoists, please be quiet for now and listen to what I have to say."

Those present had previously benefited from her sacred pills, and then consumed many spiritual wines and dishes from the Pill Sect.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to him, and he who takes another's money is bound to him," so when he heard her say this, he knew there must be a reason behind it, and he didn't press her for an explanation.

Everyone quieted down patiently, wanting to hear what Ji Fengyao had to say.

"I will explain to everyone why these people are here later, but before I talk about them, I would like to talk about the Demon Realm and the Demon Lord Jiu Yue, because this is the background." Ji Fengyao stood gracefully, proud and arrogant.

She was dashing, radiant, and possessed an extraordinary air; at that moment, she was as dazzling and splendid as a bright pearl.

Looking at the young female bandit, Shang Xiye's eyes were filled with joy and affection.

This is the little girl he carefully raised and taught, and also his beloved wife. She is his pride!

Ji Chenhai, Su Rujing, Ji Fengming, Ji Fengxiao, Xique, Bailu, and others also looked proud.

The people of all the clans were also impressed by her and dared not underestimate her.

"Sect Leader Yun, please speak. All of us from the Hidden Sect are ready to listen." Mi Fenghui knew some of the inside story and was the first to stand up and support him.

Both the Azure Water Sect and the Lan Family, remembering the benefits of the Rejuvenation Pill from last time, were eager to befriend Ji Fengyao, the Pill Saint, and expressed their stance one after another.

Jun Qiancheng, who had been filled with anxiety, did not dare to hesitate and quickly expressed his support.

Although the Zhou and Shangguan families were a step behind, they also sincerely stood up to express their support.

The remaining Gu and Qu families looked around and, seeing that everyone had gradually expressed their opinions, decided to follow suit to avoid standing out too much.

However, after expressing their stance, both elders of the Gu family and Qu Jinxian, the head of the Qu family, looked somewhat bewildered.

Ji Fengyao glanced at them and then quickly turned away. Even Qu Jinxian and the others didn't realize that she had looked at them: "As you all know, the Demon Realm is cursed by the Heavenly Dao. No matter how high their cultivation level is, the disciples of the Demon Realm cannot undergo tribulation or ascend to the Upper Realm."

Since all cultivators in the world follow the path against the heavens, all beings in the demon realm and the mortal realm should be equal.

Why does Heaven allow spiritual cultivators a sliver of hope, yet annihilate the demon race alone, preventing them from ascending? I think everyone is puzzled by this.

During the thousand years that the Dan Sect closed its mountain, I was reborn and experienced many lifetimes in various cultivation realms and mortal realms, and I heard a saying..."

Ji Fengyao recounted her experiences in the Great Zhao Plane, the Maple Moon Continent, and Shang Xiye's observations in the Origin Continent.

Finally, she concluded: "Therefore, I guess that the original Demon Realm and Holy Realm were probably where demon spirits accompanied each other and depended on each other."
