Led by Chen Yiwei, a group of demons escaped from the range where their demonic power was suppressed.
Sultan Ruo wanted to thank Chen Yiwei, but was stopped by Chen Heng, who took the lead and stepped forward to bow to Chen Yiwei.
"Thank you very much for your help, sir. What is your name?"
"I am Chen Yidi, and I simply cannot bear to see innocent lives being taken."
Sudan was stunned when he heard the name, Chen...Yida?
Upon hearing this, Chen Heng asked, "As far as I know, Chen is the surname of the human emperor. I wonder what the relationship is between you and the emperor?"
Chen Yiwei did not shy away, "To be honest, I am the second prince of the human race, but I have always advocated for the peaceful coexistence of humans and demons.
I heard that Master Zhao of the Monster Hunting Pavilion had captured a group of monsters that had already cultivated into human form. I couldn't bear to see the innocent people being harmed, so I came up with this desperate measure and secretly let you all go."
Sultan Ruo thought about what he had overheard in prison and asked before Chen Heng could speak:
"Then do you know that the Demon Hunting Pavilion captured us in order to refine the elixir of immortality and save your father?"
Chen Yiwei nodded heavily. As the second prince, he naturally knew these things.
But refining the elixir of immortality is nonsense in the first place. So many human emperors have never succeeded in it before.
Maybe all of this is just a trick made up by the Demon Hunting Pavilion to satisfy its own selfish desires.
There might not be such a thing as an elixir of immortality.
He knew his father's physical condition, and he didn't want his father to bear the sin of the Demon Hunting Pavilion before he died.
If the Sultan saw that this man knew the Human Emperor's plan, he would release all the monsters in the cage.
He is truly a great sage, worthy of his name, Yida, filial piety is the root of great power!
"Aren't you afraid that the Human Emperor will find out and cause trouble for you?"
Chen Yi shook his head. "Anyway, I've never been favored by the Emperor, so I'll just run away for a while. Even if I disappear, the Emperor won't find out. I can go back after the storm has died down."
Chen Heng saw that Chen Yiwei was broad-minded and his ideas coincided with his own. He felt that this person's behavior was quite to his liking, so he invited him.
"Since you're going to be on the run for a while, why not join us two? We'll make sure you don't get caught."
Su Danruo glanced at Chen Heng. He just said that she could be with the two of them. Could she finally get along well with him?
Great! Finally, she doesn't have to use fighting as an excuse to go find him. God knows how tired she is from running around every day lately!
But Chen Yidi didn't want to be with them.
After all, he is still a human prince. If he lets the monster go, he can still forge an alibi to get away with it.
But if someone found out that he was hanging out with the demons, his life would be in danger.
As soon as he uttered the words of refusal, pursuers suddenly caught up with him.
The three of them were surrounded in an instant.
The leader was actually the eldest prince.
Chen Yiwei was also surprised to see his royal brother appear here.
My royal brother has never cared about these things, so why did he suddenly bring troops here today?
Could it be? No wonder my journey was so smooth. It seemed that my good brother, the emperor, had a lot of help.
"Second brother! You actually mingled with the demon tribe. Do you know that hanging out with the demon tribe is a capital crime? If you act like this, I can't help you even if I want to!"
Chen Yi said with a sullen face, "Royal brother, why are you so hypocritical? Just come and do whatever you want!"
Chen Heng knew at a glance that there must be a feud between the two brothers.
"Since you are so unrepentant, I, your brother, can only teach you a lesson on behalf of the Emperor! Arrest them all!"
Without the suppression of the formation, Chen Heng instantly released his full aura and blasted away the people who surrounded him.
Seeing the golden demonic aura emanating from Chen Heng, everyone's pupils suddenly constricted.
The eldest prince fell to the ground and stammered, "You...you are the new Demon King?"
Chen Yiwei looked at Chen Heng in disbelief. He didn't expect that there was a demon king hidden among this group of captured demons.
Now that the demon king knows the conspiracy of the human race, he will probably not let it go.
I don’t know what the Demon King will do.
Chen Heng's domineering voice rang out, "You have some foresight. The human and demon races have been enemies for a long time. Since I have encountered you today and you are harming my compatriots, please leave them all to me!"
As he spoke, Chen Heng raised his hand and released a demonic aura towards the eldest prince.
In a panic, the eldest prince pulled someone in front of him.
The soldier who was used as a shield disappeared in an instant. The eldest prince pointed at Chen Yi and cursed:
"You actually colluded with the Demon King to harm me! Just wait, I will make my father peel off your skin!"
After saying that, he saw Chen Heng started to move again, and quickly ran away, rolling and crawling.
Chen Heng did not chase after him. Su Danruo looked at Chen Heng and was a little confused when he saw him stop.
Chen Heng could have killed all these people directly, so why did he let them go?
Wouldn't this make it impossible for Chen Yiwei to gain a foothold in front of the Human Emperor in the future?
However, the Sultan couldn't ask these questions in front of Chen Yidi, so he had to suppress his confusion for the time being.
Chen Yiwei had a bitter look on his face. Now the charge of colluding with the demon clan was confirmed.
Chen Heng said, "Even if you don't want to be with me now, you can't. You probably can't go back to the human race for the time being, right?"
Chen Yiwei thought for a moment and nodded, agreeing to go to the demon world with the two of them to avoid the limelight.
Sudan Ruokuai watched Chen Heng's series of actions from the side and had no idea what Chen Heng was thinking.
He followed the two of them silently back to the Demon King's Palace.
After Chen Heng arranged everything for Chen Yiwei, he called Sultan Ruo to the small study next to his bedroom.
"It seems that you are quite dissatisfied with what I did just now?" Chen Heng's tone was so calm that no emotion could be heard.
Sultan Ruo asked carefully, "You knew that if you released those people, the Human Emperor would know what happened today, so why didn't you just kill them?"
Chen Heng glanced at Su Danruo coldly, "Before I answer your question, I also have a question for you. After yesterday, I remembered some of my memories.
Have you ever saved me in front of others before?"
Sudan was startled by this question. Could it be that Chen Heng remembered his past dark history and wanted to silence him?
But I have saved him so many times, he shouldn't be so ungrateful, right?
Never mind. He will remember it sooner or later anyway. The system is there anyway, so at worst he can still run away.
Sudan Ruo admitted directly and generously: "That's right! I knew you before, and I saved you! And more than once! I didn't expect that you have forgotten everything now that you have become the Demon King."
"Then why didn't you admit it before?" Chen Heng asked with a frown.
"I know so much about your past. What if you don't want others to know and want to silence me..."
