"Will you listen to me properly now?" Gu Qingfeng said with a hint of helplessness.
Yet the scene remained eerily silent—everyone had been suppressed, unable to utter a sound.
Gu Qingfeng walked up to Shang Xinyan and gently wiped away the crystalline tears on her face.
"Xinyan, who would’ve thought even your angry expression is so beautiful? Truly captivating."
A beauty’s charm comes in countless forms, each with its own grace.
Shang Xinyan remained motionless, her lovely eyes glaring fiercely at Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Qingfeng paused slightly, suddenly realizing his words might not quite fit the situation.
Why did this feel like some cliché scene where a villain taunts the righteous heroine?
Heaven knew he hadn’t meant it that way—it had just slipped out naturally, a force of habit.
It must be because of those few days spent in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, picking up some bad demonic habits.
Damn it, those demons deserved death for corrupting him!
"Xinyan, I know what you’re thinking, but I’m truly not one of the Sacred Race. These demons were captured from the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. I have a special secret art that forces them to recognize me as their master, unable to betray me."
Shang Xinyan continued glaring.
Gu Qingfeng scratched his head—this was all because of that damned line, "In my life, I’ve never needed to explain myself to others."
Now, when he actually needed to explain things to his wife, he found himself utterly inept at it.
"You there! Come here." Gu Qingfeng called out to a nearby demon underling.
The demons exchanged glances, unsure who "you there" referred to. Finally, one quick-witted demon seized the opportunity to impress his master and hurried over.
The others, seeing him take the lead, regretted missing their chance.
"Xinyan, since you don’t believe me, I’ll prove it to you."
With that, Gu Qingfeng turned to the demon underling and ordered, "You there."
"Your humble servant is here," the demon replied obsequiously.
"Twist your head off to prove to my wife that I’m not allied with you demons."
"W-what?!" The demon froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.
His mind went blank.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Why did I step forward?!
Seeing the demon hesitate, Gu Qingfeng frowned. "Still not moving? Do you dare defy my command?"
The demon was terrified—he wouldn’t dare disobey even with ten thousand lives to spare. The poison oath he’d sworn was still fresh in his mind. Defying it would be a fate worse than death.
But then again, suicide didn’t seem so bad compared to that.
Gritting his teeth, the demon reached up and grabbed his own head under the stunned gazes of the Dark Realm’s onlookers.
Crack!
A massive demon head was twisted clean off.
The headless body collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The entire Dark Realm was in shock.
What in the world just happened?!
That was a Divine Realm demon—one of the strongest beings in existence—and he’d just killed himself over such an absurd reason?!
All because of Gu Qingfeng’s words?
A Divine Realm demon… dead.
Had the world gone mad, or had they?
At this moment, a flicker of emotion finally surfaced in Shang Xinyan’s eyes—a rare trace of bewilderment, making her look almost adorably dazed.
"Xinyan, do you believe me now? I’m really not allied with the demons."
Gu Qingfeng took the opportunity to release Shang Xinyan’s restraints.
Shang Xinyan stared at him with a complicated expression. "You… really aren’t lying to me?"
Now she was starting to believe it. If Gu Qingfeng were truly of the Sacred Race, with power like this, he wouldn’t need to explain himself. And there’d be no reason for him to make his demon subordinates commit suicide after suppressing everyone—it made no sense.
Seeing Shang Xinyan still harboring doubts, Gu Qingfeng turned back to the demons. "You there, come here."
The demons erupted into chaos. Whoever goes dies! Who dares to step forward?!
They exchanged glances, none daring to move.
Gu Qingfeng’s patience wore thin, and he began pointing.
"You, the pig demon. Yes, you—the one with the fat head and big ears. Stop looking around and get over here."
Thud!
The named pig demon instantly dropped to his knees, kowtowing like a madman. "Master! Please, spare me! I beg you, don’t kill me!"
"Shut up! Get over here now!"
The moment Gu Qingfeng’s words fell, the pig demon felt the oath-binding thread around him tighten violently.
Terrified out of his wits, the pig demon scrambled forward on all fours.
"Do it," Gu Qingfeng commanded indifferently.
The pig demon’s heart screamed refusal, but the restless oath-binding thread left him no choice.
Death, or a fate worse than death?
In the end, he chose death.
Crack!
A massive pig head was twisted off.
By now, the Dark Realm’s people were completely numb.
In such a short time, two Divine Realm demons had died just like that!
These were the same demons who had once hunted the Dark Realm to the ends of the earth!
And now, they were dying over something so trivial.
At this moment, the way everyone looked at Gu Qingfeng changed—filled with unfamiliarity, awe, and sheer disbelief.
"Well, Xinyan? Convinced now?"
Shang Xinyan: "……"
Her rosy lips parted slightly, too shocked to speak.
Her gaze at Gu Qingfeng was indescribably complex, her emotions having gone through extreme highs and lows, leaving her thoughts in complete disarray.
"Tsk." Seeing Shang Xinyan still silent, Gu Qingfeng sighed, assuming she still didn’t believe him.
"Five more, come forward and prove it."
This time, not just the demons, but even the Dark Realm’s people were floored.
Again?!
Five more at once?!
Were these even Divine Realm demons anymore? They were like livestock waiting for slaughter!
How could Gu Qingfeng command such terrifying authority that a single word could make Divine Realm demons willingly die?
Why didn’t they even resist? Just obediently kill themselves?
The demons were on the verge of despair. What kind of nonsense is this?!
You two lovebirds are having a spat, so why do we have to die?!
"What? Do you want me to do it myself? The five at the front, step forward now."
Thud! Thud! Thud!…
The five Divine Realm demons at the front all dropped to their knees, trembling like sieves, kowtowing frantically for mercy.
But they were smarter—they didn’t beg Gu Qingfeng. Instead, they turned to Shang Xinyan.
"Great Mistress, spare us! Please believe our master! He truly crushed the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, defeated the Azure Demon Emperor, and subjugated us as his slaves!"
Then, one demon suddenly remembered something and cried out excitedly, "Great Mistress! This humble servant knows a recollection spell—it can replay past events! Look!"

The second disciple, possessing a Chaos Sword Body, can break all techniques with a single sword, his swordsmanship unmatched throughout history.
