"Meng Ji, are you really the Princess of the Demon Realm?" Xiao Qiang couldn’t help but ask at this moment. This matter is quite serious and could potentially cause great upheaval.

"Indeed, I am the Princess of the Demon Realm, but Lin Feng and I are truly in love. He promised me that he would resolve the conflicts between the Demon Race and the Human Race. As for those people, you can handle them as you wish. They are all traitors to the Demon Race, and their life and death have nothing to do with me." Meng Ji said.

"Princess, your words are not right. We bear such humiliation and hardship for the revival of the Demon Race, and yet you forget the deep hatred between the Demon Race and the Human Race over mere romance. How do you repay the deceased Demon Lord?

We fought desperately for the Demon Race, but you have conveniently set aside such crucial matters to enjoy glory and wealth among the Human Race. Even if we are killed by these lowly humans today, we would die without peace." An elderly man in black said.

"Right! Die without peace!" "Die without peace!" All at once, the people of the Dark Forces echoed this sentiment. The mood was extremely agitated, as the Dark Forces were known for self-explosion, with destructive power so great that if many were to explode at once, it could level the entire Yunding Mountain to the ground.

Meanwhile, none of the people inside the cave would be spared, and even Xiao Qiang’s formidable power might not guarantee escape. It was indeed very dangerous.

Others might not understand the situation, but Meng Ji did. She glanced at the people of the Dark Forces and said, "You are aiding the Lonely Demon Venerable in villainy and do not deserve to be my Demon Race’s subjects. Do you know how Father died? He was killed by the so-called master you serve."

"Nonsense, I was present when the Demon Lord was killed by Qingshuang at the Divine Battlefield. You dare to dispute this truth? It seems your heart is already with the Human Race, so you are unworthy of being the Princess of our Demon Race. Today you will not escape death, so let you all perish here!" The elderly man said sternly.

At that moment, all the Dark Forces began to emanate a terrifying aura—a resolve to face death and wanting to perish together with the enemy. Meng Ji’s face instantly changed, and she hurriedly asked, "What exactly do you want?"

The elderly man saw a turning point, as Meng Ji was the key to survival today. She was Chu Linfeng’s beloved woman, and no one dared to harm her. If she spared them, they could escape far away, leaving Canglan Ancient Land, and find sanctuary elsewhere.

"Let us go, rest assured, we will not stay in Canglan Ancient Land any longer. Once we leave, we shall return to the Demon Realm. I am sure the Princess will spare us for being part of the Demon Race. With the heavy casualties among Demon disciples, I believe you won’t want to see more deaths unless your heart is truly with the Human Race." The elderly man said.

All of a sudden, everyone began to discuss, with many eager to kill the Dark Forces immediately, yet wary of Meng Ji’s identity as Chu Linfeng’s woman, fretting over the serious consequences if their actions angered her.

Hearing the whispered discussions from the crowd, Meng Ji felt even more pressured. She looked around at the surrounding faces filled with schadenfreude; any mishandling would lead to Chu Linfeng’s disgrace or everyone’s death here, leaving her feeling suffocated.

Chu Linfeng also noticed Meng Ji’s fluctuating expression and realized if he didn’t show himself, Meng Ji might truly be overwhelmed. After all, she still had Demon Race blood flowing in her and an innate Demonic Qi presence, concealed for years at great effort.

"Xuan’Er, don’t worry. I, your husband, will resolve your concerns!" In a flash, Chu Linfeng appeared by Meng Ji’s side. Seeing Chu Linfeng’s sudden appearance was like finding a lifeline amidst the ocean, Meng Ji couldn’t help but rush into his embrace.

"Lin Feng, I don’t know what to do. I really don’t know what to do. If I don’t agree with them, they might self-detonate, and everyone here would die. I absolutely cannot let that happen.

But if I promise them, it would lead you into an irrevocable disaster. I’m a witch, the mortal enemy of the Human Race, and you are the strongest of the Human Race, yet you’ve fallen for a mortal enemy; do you know what that implies?" Meng Ji said, slightly choked up.

"I understand, rest assured, I’ll handle it!" Chu Linfeng gently patted Meng Ji’s back and said.

Chu Linfeng’s appearance startled everyone, and excitement appeared on all faces, especially among the women, who quickly gathered around him, eagerly asking him this and that, showing their heartfelt concern.

Chu Linfeng glanced at Xiao Qiang and said, "Let everyone leave here, I’ll handle the remaining matters myself!"

No one dared to defy Chu Linfeng’s words. Though people were curious as to why he made such a decision, they reluctantly left, especially those with deep hatred for the Dark Forces, feeling exceptionally disgruntled.

But the old man then said, "None of you are allowed to leave. If anyone dares to, we’ll self-detonate immediately and perish together with you. Having so many humans as company in death is worthwhile, even if it means dying."

"Haha, if I’m not mistaken, you are the Blood Demon General. Only you would have such a dense bloody aura. But do you think I’ll believe your words? Though self-detonation is immensely powerful, in my eyes, it is utterly worthless." Chu Linfeng said sternly.

Chu Linfeng’s words made the old man pause briefly, "Never thought someone knew my name. I heard you are Qingshuang—could it be true? You slaughtered our Demon Lord back then, yet now marry our Demon Race Princess, quite the tactics you have."

"I am Qingshuang. Want to avenge your Demon Lord? Don’t boast in front of me—I’m not impressed. Today, let’s see if your self-detonation can harm us, and let me share some good news: your master, the Lonely Demon Venerable, has been slain by me at the Divine Battlefield. Your stronghold has collapsed, leaving no sanctuary for you in this world.

Want to return to the Demon Race? Even if I spare you today, returning is impossible. You’ve already become traitors to the Demon Race, and I believe someone will deal with you. Moreover, let me tell you, your Demon Lord is not dead, and it was with his consent that your Princess married me, so you cannot sow discord." Chu Linfeng said.

The old man’s face grew even more unpleasant, and his aura intensified again. At this moment, Chu Linfeng said to Xiao Qiang, "Unfold the Space Domain. Today, I want to see how they die!"
