Though the ground was already spotless, they continued to sweep and scrub ceaselessly.

For fear that the dread being might feel even slightly displeased, turning them into mincemeat for its delight.

Indeed, this seemed to prove that beauty was less important than strength in the grand scheme of things!

At last, a voice echoed from within: “Get out!”

Like hearing the divine, the eight bowed in reverence, then backed away with their tools, as if leaving the presence of royalty.

They only let their tears flood out, their sorrow uncontainable, once they were miles away from the alley.

The terror, deeply ingrained in their souls, had only now found release.

They didn’t dare let out a single sob or sigh while cleaning, afraid they would invoke the displeasure of the grim reaper.

Without so much as a discussion, they wept their way out of the city, not daring to linger a second longer.

Yes, they had originally come here seeking medical treatment.

But… now the patients were all dead, what good would medical aid do?

To share this hell-like place, even for a moment, was torment. They were quick to leave!

Looking back on their initial enthusiastic departure, what spirit they carried, accompanying the elders on their travels for treatment, their excitement was immeasurable, yet…

Their arrival was joyous and vibrant, their departure filled with sorrow and despair.

Several female disciples even swore in their hearts: they would never again journey into the turbulent world beyond the safe walls of the city. They’d settle down and marry post haste!

A peaceful life of caring for a husband and raising children, isn’t that enough?

…

This incident certainly caused an enormous stir in Yuezhou.

The presence of the Demon Emperor caused a sense of trepidation, how could it not?

Why was the Demon Emperor here?

Why did he suddenly arrive in Yuezhou? When did he get here?

Why was there no advance news?

The high ranks of Heavenly Clothes and the Dark Guards represented the city lord, and came to visit.

Hu Lengyue and Zhuang Weiran were the ones who attended them.

“Don’t panic,” both old figures trembled as they reassured, “Our lord, the emperor, merely seeks to experience the mortal world and refine his temperament… He bears no grudges or maladies, and all that transpires here has no connection with him… If it wasn’t for the sheer rudeness of the Six Celestial Sages, our lord would not have revealed himself.”

Upon hearing the stance of the Demon Emperor’s minions, the crowd sighed in relief.

Talk of deceit and flattery… didn’t exist. The Demon Emperor belittled himself just to fool you, what high opinion you held of yourselves!

As they were sent away, the Demon Emperor personally bade them farewell, expressing good intentions once more.

When they left, the group felt a wave of emotion, overwhelmed with a feeling of inspiration.

“Look at how mindful the Demon Emperor is of etiquette, bidding us farewell before departing… Those three factions were practically begging for death… Death would be a mercy compared to their misfortune, they brought it on themselves.”

“Who could deny it? Looking back now, their actions seem utterly ridiculous.”

“While the demon was peacefully in hiding… those idiots insisted on chasing him away, continually provoking him, to the point where they cornered the tiger… and ended up cornering a Demon Emperor… novelists and playwrights wouldn’t dare to parody this.”

“They’re so out of luck… their ancestral tombs must be billowing smoke.”

“That’s fate for you. Never a one-way street.”

“Let’s patrol the outside of this place more diligently, and not let any mice poop ruin the soup again. If the emperor gets angry again, half of Yuezhou will be gone… let’s not forget why Yuezhou City had to be rebuilt… because we offended another Demon Emperor.”

“The one in the city now seems even more powerful than that Snake Emperor… we all have to be on our toes.”

“If there’s another wave of demons, Yuezhou City will truly be lost!”

“Let us strive to keep the emperor happy during his stay, and relaxed during his departure. Perhaps we could even establish some good karma with him.”

“Just hope there won’t be any more incidents. One Demon Emperor after another turning up here is giving me heart palpitations. When we felt the presence of a Demon Emperor descending upon Yuezhou City again, I wanted to die.”

…

This remark triggered a bout of laughter.

Naturally, no one took it too seriously.

There are many Demon Emperors in this world, but given that they are Demon Emperors, they should be reigning in the demon realm. Who would idle away their time wandering amongst humans? If they weren’t careful and a group of Nine Colors Supremes came together, they might face the danger of annihilation…

So everyone merely treated it as a joke.

However, thousands of miles away, in the great snowfield, a stout man, his equally robust wife, and their small tail, which seemed to be a hearty little bear, were pondering in silence.

These were none other than the Bear Empress and her husband, heading for Yuezhou, to visit the bear cub’s second uncle, Doctor Feng!

Following the Bear Emperor was a caravan of robust men, easily a hundred strong, and all of them were at least eight feet tall.

They marched, orderly in the snow. The spectacle was magnificent, awe-inspiring.

“Seeing my brother so soon after parting ways, why do I suddenly miss him so much, huh?”
