The appearance of more than 3,000 demons shocked the world.

With the skies above the Imperial Capital as the epicenter, boundless and bone-chilling demonic energy pervaded everything in a radius of tens of thousands of miles.

The common people became anxious and scared.

Fortunately, no demons had descended so far.

Otherwise, the Imperial Capital would surely be plunged into complete chaos.

One demon after another appeared, bringing with them their sinister demonic auras surrounding their bodies.

No one knew where these demons had come from.

All they knew was that once these demons appeared above the Imperial Capital, the group of demons frantically absorbed the spiritual energy in the air.

As spiritual energy entered their bodies, their strength started to increase.

The feeling of having their bodies rejuvenated by the vibrant spiritual energy caused their former arrogance to return.

Some violent demons looked maliciously at some of the people in the Imperial Capital.

A cold voice came from one of the cocoons made out of demonic energy.

"Let's join forces and slaughter everyone in this Imperial Capital together. The blood of these people that have lived most of their lives in this brand-new era will surely nourish us all!"

But once his voice fell, the look on the faces of the other demons changed as they warily looked in the direction of the Cold Palace.

Under the cover of the darkness, they could vaguely see the cold and aloof back of someone familiar. He possessed a tall and straight stature. His waist was willowy, comparable to that of a woman's which gave him grace that could compete against nobility.

His broad shoulders, on the other hand, gave off a sense of infinite strength.

He was none other than Lin Jiufeng!

He was a true monster of this era.

He was still there!

But despite his presence, a few demons that have already recovered their strength were tempted. However, most of them remained unmoving. In fact, they even pulled away from those that had thoughts of attacking the Imperial Capital.

The cold voice saw the lukewarm response of the others and persuaded. "We're all at the Grotto-Heaven Realm! Some of us who are more powerful are already close to making a breakthrough into the next realm…"

"In addition, with more than 3,000 of us working together. Do you really think that we won't be able to defeat him?" The cold voice came from a demon that had the form of a poisonous snake. As his true body depicted, he was narrow-minded and had a generally awful temper.

After being suppressed by Lin Jiufeng for so long, he had long harbored intense resentment against the former in his heart.

Now, he was encouraging everyone to deal with Lin Jiufeng together.

Some demons were tempted. They looked left and right, wanting to see how many people responded to this suggestion.

But they discovered that there were very few people who responded. The others turned a deaf ear to this suggestion. They diligently absorbed the spiritual energy and distanced themselves from the snake demon.

"Why don't you guys agree? We are powerful demons from the previous era. How can we be humiliated like this by someone from this era without taking revenge?" The poisonous snake demon questioned everyone. He was annoyed and furious by their response.

Why wouldn't they deal with Lin Jiufeng along with him?

They were already free, why would they not show off their might as the demons that once terrified the world?

No matter how powerful Lin Jiufeng was, he was just one person.

There were more than 3,000 of them here.

Surely, it was possible to kill Lin Jiufeng, right?

"You should've taken a look at that Cold Palace first before you said those words. You are already in his sights." A demon with a rather humongous body coldly stated.

The poisonous snake demon was alarmed.

He lowered his head and met Lin Jiufeng's indifferent gaze.

When Lin Jiufeng heard his words all the way from the Cold Palace, the former merely sneered.

He lifted his head and the moment their eyes met in mid-air, a strong killing intent burst from Lin Jiufeng's eyes.

Boom!

Lin Jiufeng glared at the poisonous snake demon.

His killing intent burst forth and instantly charged forward.

In a blink of an eye, his killing intent materialized and appeared before the poisonous snake demon. Then, it became as sharp as a blade as it slashed down.

Pu!

The poisonous snake demon's head was chopped off. His body fell and crashed onto the streets of the Imperial Capital.

Boom!

The ground on that particular street in the Imperial Capital trembled. Not long after, the poisonous snake demon reverted into his true form.

A poisonous python, dozens of meters long appeared.

But its head was severed.

No matter how one looked at this scene, the python was obviously dead.

The hearts of everyone trembled.

The common people who saw this scene were instantly worried that the demons were fighting against each other. Even Emperor De and Princess Yulin were worried that the capital might be affected.

If such a large number of Grotto-Heaven Realm experts fought against each other, the Imperial Capital would surely be destroyed in the process.

But contrary to the thoughts of the others, the demons were more worried about whether they had revealed their thoughts to Lin Jiufeng earlier.

Would he attack them too?

Lin Jiufeng stood motionless in the Cold Palace.

He had only taken a glance at the poisonous snake demon, and the latter immediately died.

To be honest, the demons were frightened silly by what they had witnessed.

It was only at this moment that the demons truly believed that Lin Jiufeng was already a Supremacy Realm expert. How else could he easily kill an existence at the Grotto-Heaven Realm?

Fortunately, Lin Jiufeng didn't make any other move.

Instead, he stated indifferently. "Since you lot already have your freedom, don't stay here anymore. Disperse. Or else, I will seal you all in that demon's den once more."

With these words, every demon that was still in the middle of absorbing the spiritual energy in the air immediately dispersed.

They actually scattered and ran like dogs.

None of them wanted to be sealed in that demon's den once more.

Being suppressed like that and reared like livestock truly was too much.

In their eyes, the current Lin Jiufeng was a great demon king, a great demon king who was even more terrifying than demons like them.

The moonlight returned to the Imperial Capital.

It gradually scattered the demonic aura lingering in the air after the demons' departure.

Like a cloak, moonlight draped over Lin Jiufeng's body.

Lin Jiufeng watched as the surging demonic aura in the sky dissipated.

With the disappearance of the arrogant demons, Lin Jiufeng mumbled in satisfaction. "They're finally gone. The demon's den is a problem no more."

The demon's den in the Cold Palace was no longer useful to Lin Jiufeng. Keeping them there would instead prevent him from exploring the Land of Extreme Negative Energy.

As a result, Lin Jiufeng was more than happy to see them disappear.

After tonight's events, the world would surely change.

Everyone's attention would inevitably shift onto the demons. No one would pay attention to him anymore—the so-called guardian or guardian deity of the Yuhua God Dynasty.

He could explore the Land of Extreme Negative Energy with a peace of mind.

Then, he could also continue his daily routine in silence.

Wasn't that enough of a pleasant surprise?

He killed a demon with ulterior motives, and he killed the latter with indescribable methods at that!

Surely, that move of his had sufficiently scared the demons…

If they wanted to act on some kind of an evil plan in the future, they would have to carefully consider Lin Jiufeng's existence.

"They are all gone now," the white cat said.

"So be it. I was going to let them go anyway. The demon's den and the underground place have no use staying underground anymore. I'll handle them next," Lin Jiufeng indifferently replied.

He directly threw himself into his next tasks.

He didn't care about the outside world at all.

Yes, he didn't care, but someone was currently feeling vexed.

Sect Leader Luo Yu watched the unfolding situation with rapt attention. When he saw the 3,000 plus demons coming out all together, his heart went cold.

He directly declared the Imperial Capital's destruction.

But what happened next completely went against his imagination.

The demons seemed to have fallen out with each other.

They killed their comrade—a demon in the form of a poisonous snake before collectively running away. The way their escaped looked awfully similar to a human that had just seen a ghost in broad daylight.

In an instant, the demons vanished without a trace.

The surging demonic aura in the air above the Imperial Capital also soon disappeared.

The scene stunned Sect Leader Luo Yu.

"They left just like that?"

"Aren't they going to destroy the imperial capital?"

"Aren't they all demons?"

"They actually didn't kill any common people at all, nor destroy any building…"

"But instead, they left directly?"

Sect Leader Luo Yu's eyes widened.

He confidently stated earlier that the demons would surely destroy the Imperial Capital.

Now that they had left just like that, it truly was embarrassing.
