298: The Arrival of the Demon World People

Sponsored Content

The deputy commanders[notes] took out several ships of different sizes from their dimensional space for the pirates and slaves that were swept out to sea.
They would need to settle on another island for the time being.

As for Feng Wu and her group, things were a little bizarre.
Less than a minute after the storm subsided, a large passageway appeared in the sky and a group of demon soldiers in armor stepped through.

Demon Wind, upon seeing this, thought the new group was there to provide back up for the demon lord commander.

Ming Xi and Jier came to a different conclusion.
They were relived and no longer tense.

Demon Wind didn’t understand.
Weren’t humans and demons hostile toward each other? Why did they look so relieved at seeing a group of demons in the human world? Did these guys get stupid in the head?

But the silly one, was of course, Demon Wind.

“Master Miè, the king requested we pick you up and return to the demon realm.”

Two soldiers, dressed differently than the rest, stepped forward.
It was clear they were in charge of the platoon.

“King? He really won’t let me go huh?” Miè glanced at the group.

The two demons glanced at each other.
“My Lord misunderstands.
The king has always held the view that you were involuntarily conscripted in the past.
My Lord was one of the first demons.
Sins of the past are forgiven.
My Lord will be restored to your former glory.”

Miè smiled indifferently when he heard this.
All he said was, “Let’s return to the demon realm.
But before we depart, tell me, who is the current king?”

Both soldiers understood that the king Miè was thinking of was not the current ruling king, but the former demon king, also known as the Demon Ancestor by most demons.
Regarding the former king, the Demon Ancestor, the soldiers didn’t harbor any particular scorn or contempt.

“Replying to My Lord, the former king has been defeated, his physical body was destroyed and his soul sealed.” The soldiers replied truthfully.

Miè nodded.
Better than expected.
At least his king still existed.

“Little girl, come here.” Miè turned to Feng Wu.
There was surprise in his eyes.

Feng Wu didn’t feel any malicious intent from him, so she obediently walked over.

Neither Ming Xi nor Jier stopped her.
If the commander wanted to harm her, he would have just done so.
There was no need for him to resort to trickery.

“Where did your sword come from?” He knew the sword’s origins after his memories returned, but what he didn’t know was how it ended up in the hands of this girl in front of him.

“Are you talking about Xiao Chun? Xiao Chun is my friend.
He lived in the mountain behind my house.
Master said Xiao Chun would be mine if I could pull him out.” Feng Wu replied with complete honesty.
It was just that the home in her mind was Mount Yuehua and not the Feng family estate.

“So that’s how it is.
I didn’t expect there’d by another human who could wield that sword.” Miè nodded without saying anything more.
He knew a lot of things the little girl in front of him would never know.

“Let us return to the demon realm.” Miè addressed the two lead soldiers.
He extended both his hands out to them.
“The binding.”

“The king's orders were that as long as My Lord was willing to return of your own free will, there would be no need for the binding encirclement.”

“Let’s go then.”

Miè entered the passageway.
He was quickly followed by the rest of the demon soldiers.
The passageway disappeared once everyone had stepped through.

“I was scared to death! I’ve never seen so many demon soldiers in my life.” Demon Wind declared.

The others didn’t say much.
Feng Wu was never a curious child so she didn’t ask questions.

“You guys, can you tell me what happened? How’d demon soldiers show up here? And how come they didn’t attack us?” Demon Wind scratched his head; unlike Feng Wu, he had a lot of questions.

“Those demon soldiers were under the demon king’s command.
They would have been alerted as soon as the seal was broken.
They were sent to pick him up.” Ming Xi answered.

“But wasn’t that guy the former king’s man? Why would the current king send people to pick him up instead of just killing him immediately?” Demon Wind was still confused.

The same logic applied in the human world as well.
All the supporters of a forcefully deposed king would be killed.

“Miè is very special.
He was one of the first twelve demon commanders to be born in the demon realm.
He’s also the most powerful.
The demon realm needs to maintain its strength, so the king would never kill him.”

“The king isn’t afraid this Miè guy is going to betray him?”

Ming Xi gave Demon Wind a faint smile.
“Do you think the current demon king, who defeated the former demon king, would be afraid of a demon commander?”

Ah, true, Demon Wind had asked a silly question.
He had to wonder if his brain got flooded in the water, otherwise why would he have asked such a question.

“Oh!” Jier suddenly exclaimed.

“What is it?” Ming Xi asked.

“Those other two troublemakers are missing again.”

“Are you talking about Yanran and Oleen?” Ming Xi raised a brow.
They'd finally found them after a lot of trouble, but now they’d lost them again.
What rotten luck.

“Who else but those two stupids.”

Feng Wu rubbed her belly pitifully.
So hungry…

“We’ll look for them, but if we can’t find them, then we can’t find them.” Ming Xi said.
However way things ended, they had tried their best.
They would have an explanation for the teacher when they returned to campus.

Demon Wind decided to help out of courtesy to Little Seven, but despite their efforts, they couldn’t find Yanran or Oleen.
The two of them could have been washed out to sea and eaten by sea monsters for all anyone knew.

Ming Xi and the others weren’t going to wait around forever.
They decided to leave for Sanye island and continue their mission.
Yanran and Oleen would just have to fend for themselves.
If they were lucky, they’d be fine.

Demon Wind wasn’t going to follow them to Sanye.
For generations his family had guarded the seal, but now that the seal was broken and the demon gone, there was no reason to do so anymore.

His brothers had just sent him a message saying they had settled on another island.
He would meet them there.
He bade Ming Xi and the others farewell and embarked on his journey alone.

Ming Xi and his group went back to their boat so they could head back to Sanye island.
They used magic to fly to where they left the boat, but there was nothing there once they arrived.
Perhaps it was blown away by the wind, or someone took it, or worse yet, it could have sunk.
