Chapter 343: Chapter 281: Entering the City

Just then, a shadow suddenly appeared on the distant horizon, and Feng Jiu, sensing a familiar aura, couldn’t help but smile.

It was a large army, coming from the north, and despite the great distance, it carried a terrifying Demon Qi.

This Demon Qi swept across the sky, forming dense dark clouds.

It divided the entire world.

The astonishing Demon Qi immediately caught the attention of all the Monsters in the Demon Capital, who turned their gazes in that direction, only to be greatly surprised.

Even the most ignorant among them sensed the terrifying presence of these Demon Kings, and, despite the presence of the Demon Emperor, many of them couldn’t help feeling fearful.

"Where does this power come from? It looks like they mean no good!"

"Buddy, this is the Demon Capital, and His Majesty is still here. What are you afraid of? Is there anyone in Luzhou in the North more powerful than His Majesty?"

"Although you say that, I still feel like these people are up to no good."

The commotion here quickly drew the attention of the Flood Dragon Demon King and others, who gathered on the half-collapsed city wall, their gazes heavy as they looked into the distance.

In their perception, the strength of this demonic power was comparable to their own, which indicated that the coming Demon Kings were no ordinary figures. If the newcomers harbored ill intentions, a bitter battle awaited them.

"It’s Lin Fang!" The Flood Dragon Demon King, whose sight surpassed the others, recognized the newcomer’s identity first.

"So it’s him, no wonder he’s so powerful." The rest of the crowd showed expressions of relief.

Soon, Lin Fang, leading several Demon Kings, arrived at the gates of the Demon Capital, the half-collapsed city wall now within a stone’s throw.

"Is this the once-great Demon Capital?" asked the Ghost Spider curiously.

He had been living secluded in the woods and, though he had heard about the Demon Capital, this was his first visit to this sacred site of the Demon Clan.

"Yes, this is the place. In the past, this wall held back wave after wave of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, only to be destroyed in the wars later," a venerable old Monster said with a sigh.

It was the Demon Master, who had come out of the Demon Realm just to see the Demon Capital as it was now, especially since rebuilding it was crucial to future plans. He had to supervise it personally.

"If the Demon Master is here, what will happen to the matters of the Demon Realm?"

"Don’t worry, the remaining matters there can proceed step by step. The younger generation is more than capable," the Demon Master confi confidently with a smile.

Among those accompanying Lin Fang was a man dressed in a Confucian robe with a scholarly demeanor, none other than Lu Wenchang from the Bailu Academy.

The main reason Lin Fang arrived later than planned was because he had gone to the Bailu Academy.

To swiftly build up the ravaged Demon Court in a short period of time, what was truly lacking was not cutting-edge combat power.

Whether it was Feng Jiu or the Flood Dragon Demon King, they had strong combat capabilities, sufficient to form the foundation of a major force, but establishing a government required extensive clerical work.

Such talent was indeed rare in this land now, and the power of Lin Fang and a few Demon Masters alone was simply not enough.

Fortunately, Bailu Academy had been established for many years. Though it kept a low profile, it had already accumulated a large number of talents. How could Lin Fang not seize such a valuable resource? He went up to Bailu Mountain immediately.

For Lu Wenchang, this was also an excellent opportunity, a chance to completely change the fate of the Demon Clan. Therefore, he did not waste Lin Fang’s breath and decided to follow Lin Fang down the mountain with all his disciples, even deciding that if the opportunity arose, he would move Bailu Academy here as well. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"How is it?" Lin Fang asked Lu Wenchang with a smile.

"A cycle begins anew, all things refreshed. It has been a long time since I’ve seen the Demon Clan with such a presence," Lu Wenchang said with a sigh.

The Demon Clan of the past seemed to lack Vital Essence, Qi, and Spirit, like a person whose spine had been broken. Although they kept shouting themselves hoarse, they managed to awaken only a small portion of their people.

But the moment the Demon Emperor’s banner was raised, all the Monsters involuntarily puffed out their chests, seemingly regaining the resolve that had been missing for many years.

This also stirred a heroic desire in him to transform the world, and this time, the Demon Clan would not mishandle things again.

"Let’s go into the city, they probably can’t wait any longer," Lin Fang said with a smile.

The crowd also wore smiles, as the Demon Clan now indeed had an air of rising day by day. Anyone could see that after years of oppression, this race was finally going to stand up.

The Monsters living in this era were exhilarated, as the many years of suffering were finally coming to an end. It was now time to fight for their own better days.

Entering the city, Lin Fang and the others received a warm welcome from the Monsters, who eyed them curiously with amazement in their gaze, especially when they saw the Demon Master among the crowd, all of them cried out in astonishment.

If the Demon Emperor was the soul and backbone of the entire Demon Clan, then the Demon Master was their lighthouse, their guardian, who had proved to the world throughout that dark era that the Demon Clan had not completely fallen.

It was he who provided a slight comfort to those Monsters who were still persistently enduring, reassuring them that as long as the Demon Master persevered, there was definitely hope for the Demon Clan.

Yet such a figure was willingly standing behind Lin Fang, leading everyone to speculate about Lin Fang’s identity.

From ancient times to the present, the only person who could make the Demon Master do this was the Demon Emperor himself.

"You’ve finally arrived!" Feng Jiu said softly, with a clearly relaxed tone.

"We went to find Lu Wenchang in between, which delayed us a bit," Lin Fang said with a smile.

Feng Jiu curiously glanced at the group behind Lu Wenchang, clothed in Confucian Robes. A flicker of surprise passed through her eyes; she hadn’t expected that in just a few short years, Lu Wenchang had already taught so many disciples. Previously she was worried about the shortage of administrative personnel, but Lu Wenchang had pleasantly surprised her.

"Are these all your disciples, Lu Wenchang?"

Looking at Feng Jiu, who wore a golden mask and emanated authority and sanctity, Lu Wenchang found it hard to connect her with that Feng Jiu of the past. Fortunately, he was only stunned for a moment and quickly recovered.

"Your Majesty, these are indeed my disciples. They are well-versed in literature and can handle any job," he said.

"That’s great. The Demon Court is in need of rejuvenation and could really use the help of such outstanding talents. As long as everyone works diligently, I will not let your efforts go unrewarded," Feng Jiu promised.

Now she indeed had the confidence to say so. Not to mention the endless resources of the Demon Realm, just the supplies seized from the Northern Sea Dragon Palace were enough for the Demon Court’s expenses for a while.
