...Hei Fu hid in the shadows, holding his breath and calming his spirit; he threw out Luo Yewang, successfully diverting the humans' attention, buying time for his own safety.

Once he confirmed he was safe, calculating there were less than ten breaths until the darkest moment would end, he let out a sinister smile. How could he suffer such a huge loss for no reason?

He still had one last trick to control Luo Yewang, a restriction set over the past ten years, which no one could undo in a short time. As long as Luo Yewang could move, he would be at his mercy.

In the unfamiliar space, everyone was erratically attacking anything that dared approach them. It was impossible for someone to have control over Luo Yewang so quickly.

Pinching the spell, he harnessed his divine skills and sent out a summon. Then, it was just waiting. Several breaths later, an aura quickly approached him. It had to be Luo Yewang; who else could it be?

Yet he remained cautious, tossing the Spiritual Beast Bag far away to see if the sword cultivator would enter it on his own, just to be safe.

If Luo Yewang returned, he would obediently go inside. If it were someone else coming, how could they willingly step into the trap?

He had survived until now by always being cautious, and this time was no exception.

The aura got closer, indeed it was the chaotic and disordered aura of Sword Escape, just the state Luo Yewang should be in now.

Just a few breaths away, the darkest moment would pass, and then the pair and the bird would be exposed under the bright light of day.

A successful battle, even though the opponent wasn't killed, it was only a matter of time.

With just a few breaths left, the twilight had already started to lighten, and Luo Yewang's figure unhesitatingly plunged into the Spiritual Beast Bag, sealed once again.

Hei Fu chuckled, opened his mouth wide, and swallowed the Spiritual Beast Bag into his belly. "As long as the hostages aren't lost, that's my capital."

Time's up, the darkness suddenly disappeared, and on Minggu Mountain, the sun was blazing.

Tens of thousands of demons had waited impatiently for what seemed like forever. Suddenly, the Starlight Barrier vanished, revealing the truth inside, making most of the demon horde delirious with joy.

In the sky, only four figures remained: Mao Rixing, the Jing Gou, the Winged Snake, and a somewhat listless Kui Lang!

As for the Winged Demon Clan's Hai Dongqing and her two human servants, they were nowhere to be seen.

Unlike most of the Demon Clan's cheers, Mao Rixing and the three others exchanged dismayed looks. They intended to expose this bird and humans, but now none of them could be seen!

Surrounded by tens of thousands of Demon Clan, escaping on the spot was impossible!

"I felt the transmission of space power. They must have used a spatial channel to leave..." The Jing Gou always lurked in the starlight, clearly sensing something unusual.

Hei Fu nodded, "I felt it too. What is Hai Dongqing's background to be so formidable, using space abilities with just a Golden Core Realm?"

Mao Rixing saw more profoundly, "It may not necessarily be Hai Dongqing's method. Don't forget that Sword Cultivator participated in the Altar Cave Heaven rules. It's very likely they left through the Altar Cave Heaven. We closed the starlight at the end but kept the darkest moment, giving them the opportunity."

Everything became clear. The three of them used their trump card to escape the demon encirclement at the last moment by shifting through the Altar Cave Heaven. Looking at it this way, the battle ended in a draw. No one gained any advantage or suffered any loss.

The four hadn't recovered from their shock, but among the tens of thousands of demons on Minggu Mountain, a change occurred. A modest group of two to three thousand demons quietly withdrew and flew into the distance without looking back.

These were the Sea and Winged clans.

Their move clearly indicated one thing — withdrawal from the Demon Alliance, without even retrieving their Star Plate, not saying goodbye. This represented irrepressible rage suppressed in their hearts. It was only because they were smaller in number that they didn't act out.

A Great Demon came to inquire, "Lord Mao, should we stop these ungrateful beings? It's hard to comment on the Winged Demon Clan, but none of these Tianjin Sea Clan can get away!"

Mao Rixing shook his head and sighed, "No need, let them go. There's no point in explaining now."

He directly refused, and the Winged Snake and Jing Gou silently agreed with his decision. They knew why the Sea and Winged clans left.

When the Starlight Realm ended, there were four outer space Demon Lords inside, what did this imply?

It meant the alliance cheated, four against one!

Ironically, they couldn't explain it, because it was true. It wasn't just the Winged Snake that entered the Starlight Barrier; all four went in.

Originally, in their prediction, the three opponents would expose the identities of two human cultivators during the siege, so it wouldn't matter how many of them entered since the opponents cheated first.

But now, those three guys ran off with the Altar Cave Heaven, making it hard to explain.

No explanation suffices, it's wrong any way they put it.

With the departure of the Sea and Wing clans, this Demon Gathering felt incomplete. Even though those two demon clans didn't bring many, they represented the overseas. Now that they're gone, the Demon Gathering turned into a Land Demon Conference, slightly flawed.

To liven things up and quickly forget the displeasure brought by the Sea and Wing clans, a group of outer space Demon Lords decided to add some entertainment.

To pique interest, these outer space Demon Lords didn't hesitate to step down themselves, guiding the Earth Demons and showcasing the wonders of their supernatural abilities.

Through their efforts, Minggu Mountain quickly became lively again. Demons are a forgetful race, and besides, do those swimming and flying over the sea have anything to do with them? Would they come thousands of miles to help in a real war?

This gathering on Minggu Mountain became lively again, with the intentional prompting of the outer space Demon Clan, successfully shifting the Earth Demons' focus away from their failure to keep their arena promises.

Among the four Demon Lords, except Kui Lang who needed rest, the other three demons each showcased their divine skills, receiving continuous applause.

Mao Rixing revealed his true form, the Golden Rooster, stunning the world with a crow; Jing Gou exhibited his Wooden Forest Realm, making the Mountain Demons feel as though they were in the primordial forest. Having been in the desert for a long time, the Mountain Demons found the woods particularly cordial.

It was the Winged Snake's turn, breathing fire, the heat waves scorching, hundreds of feet long snake body, imposing and fierce.

In their moment of excitement, to strike against the human's arrogance and boost the demon's morale, the triumphant Hei Fu opened his mouth and vomited out a figure, curled up in pain.

Hei Fu laughed heartily, "I've heard that among human cultivators, the Sword Sect is the most combative and fierce. A few years back, I captured one and kept it in my pouch. Today, I will show everyone, to see what he's really made of?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand to remove the restriction, saying with a smile, "That bird there, I know you hold a grudge. Now in front of so many people, I'll allow you to strike a sword at me and let everyone see what a Sword Cultivator is made of?"
