Without the protective demonic energy, the demonic corpses became extremely vulnerable.
Under the combined attack of everyone, the demonic corpses began to collapse and disintegrate, and the evil aura completely dissipated into the air.
As the last demonic corpse fell, Chu Wanwan, Si Mingye, Feng Que, and Xuan Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"There's one more thing I'd like to entrust to you!" Chu Wanwan said, and with a thought, tens of thousands of demon children appeared on the spot.
"These demon children were captured by the Demon Emperor to feed his demonic corpses. You must send them back to their respective homes!"
"Master, these are all children of the demon race. Why do you still want to save them? Don't underestimate them now. They will become our enemies when they grow up." Xuanwu glared at the children, as if he would wipe them out in the next second.
The children trembled with fear at Xuanmo's presence, huddling together tightly. Chu Wanwan frowned slightly, looking at Xuanwu seriously, and said, "Xuanmo, they are just innocent children living in the Demon Realm. They don't possess demonic bodies and pose no threat to the Immortal Realm! Moreover, they have not committed any evil deeds!"
"Whether in the Immortal Realm or the Demon Realm, they are despised and hated."
"How innocent they are! We, as gods, cannot indiscriminately kill the innocent! Otherwise, how are we any different from the demons?"
"Yes! I know I was wrong!"
Xuanmo lowered his head, a look of shame on his face.
Chu Wanwan's words made him realize his mistake. Yes! Those children were no different from ordinary people in the Immortal Realm who had no spiritual roots. They were labeled as evil simply because they were born in the Demon Realm.
They are actually quite innocent and pitiful...
"Alright! From now on, don't label others so easily; be discerning in your judgment of people!"
Chu Wanwan patted Xuanmo on the shoulder and continued, "Xuanmo, Fengque, after you two take these children home, go straight back to the Immortal Realm. We're going directly to the Ten Thousand Demon Cave!"
"yes!"
"Yes, Master!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Que transformed into a phoenix that blotted out the sky and flew in mid-air.
With a wave of his hand, Xuanmo enveloped the children in a ball of energy, which slowly rose and landed on Feng Que's back.
"Wait... beautiful sister, my friends are still in the forest." At this moment, the oldest child suddenly ran out and said anxiously.
"You go up first, I'll go bring them over!" Chu Wanwan said, waving her hand casually, and the child climbed onto Feng Que's back.
Chu Wanwan's figure also disappeared from the spot.
A moment later, all the children were safely on Feng Que's back, and the Xuanwu Beast sat on Feng Que's neck.
Feng Que flapped its enormous wings and carried the children toward their home.
Along the way, the wind howled in their ears, and the children huddled together, their eyes filled with both fear of the unknown and longing to go home.
As Feng Que sensed the emotions of the children on his back, a pang of pity welled up in his heart.
He tried to fly as smoothly as possible so that the children would suffer less from the turbulence.
Xuanmo sat on Fengque's neck, watching the scenery rushing past below, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
He recalled Chu Wanwan's words and deeply reflected on his previous prejudices.
He secretly resolved that he would treat every life more fairly in the future and no longer be easily deceived by appearances.
As the phoenix soared through the sky, the children gradually saw familiar scenery, and their faces lit up with excitement.
When the phoenix landed in their hometown, some children couldn't wait to jump off its back and run towards their homes.
"Hey girl, you're back?"
"My girl! My girl!"
"Tiger, is that my Tiger? How did you get back?"
"My child, my child!"
"Waaaaah..."
"..."
Upon seeing their children return, the demons wept with joy. They hugged their children tightly, as if afraid of losing them again.
"Children, how did you get back?" a father asked, hugging his son.
None of the children captured by the demon soldiers have returned. The family had already prepared cenotaphs for the children, but they never expected that the children would come back alive.
The little boy blinked his bright eyes and said in his childish voice, "It was the beautiful older sisters and brothers from the Immortal Realm who saved us. They even sent a big bird and a handsome uncle to bring us back."
The demons around them looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and gratitude.
They never expected that in this malicious world, there would be immortals willing to help their child.
"Not all immortals are bad people," someone muttered quietly.
"It seems that the ancient story of the gods and immortals exterminating the demons isn't necessarily true," another person chimed in.
"If the people of the Immortal Realm are like this, then they are much better to us than the Demon Emperor! I used to think that if the people of the Immortal Realm attacked, even if I was just an ordinary person, I would still take up arms to defend my homeland. But now I think it's not bad if the people of the Immortal Realm can break into the Demon Realm. Maybe we can escape our identity as demons and become truly ordinary people!"
"Shh! Just think those words in your heart, don't say them out loud! Be careful..."
"..."
Hidden in the clouds, Xuanmo and Fengque watched the demons below, who were embracing each other with tears of joy. They truly felt that not all demons were bad; there were also ordinary people who, like the ordinary people of the first level of the Immortal Realm, lived humbly and cautiously.
Feng Que sighed softly and said, "It seems that our understanding of the demon race is also flawed. These ordinary demon people are just struggling to survive in this chaotic world."
Xuanmo nodded and said, "Yes, Master is right. We shouldn't label others arbitrarily. We should also look at the Demon Clan more objectively in the future."
They lingered in the clouds for a moment, then flew with the remaining children to a village further away...
Chu Wanwan and Si Mingye arrived at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave. Chu Wanwan took out the Demon Heart that Si Mingye had sealed for tens of thousands of years from her spatial storage and handed it to Si Mingye.
The moment Si Mingye received it, the outer layer of the Demon Heart began to crack and peel off, revealing a golden Demon Heart that exuded a mysterious and powerful aura.
"How can the Demon Heart be golden?" Chu Wanwan asked in confusion.
She had assumed that the demon god's heart should be black.
"This is the heart of the Demon God before it was corrupted by demonic energy. It seems that after tens of thousands of years of sedimentation, the demonic nature within the heart has dissipated and it has become clean."
"Wanwan, this is a good thing. If I wasn't sure I could still retain my sanity after coming out of the Demon Cave, with this heart, I'm almost certain I'll be fine for now!"
As Si Mingye spoke, he placed his heart in the position of his chest.
