"It might be related to that Demon Venerable."

Silver Moon speculated, "One of the three Great Demons of the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range is from the Fox Race."

"Most likely so."

While they were speculating, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox was entangled by the large net released from the compass, immobilized by the suppression of the fire furnace and the volcano.

"First, lock it into the Eight Dragons Spirit-locking Array!"

The silver-haired elder's Fire Furnace Treasure covered it, directly absorbing the Nine-tailed Demon Fox inside, then said, "Yongliang, come with me to lock the demons. Tian Zhaoshuo and Chen Wei, you handle the rest here."

"Yes, Sect Leader."

The three responded, then the blue-robed cultivator, who used the Compass Magical Treasure, and the silver-haired elder left, leaving behind the burly man and the gray-clothed elder to hold the fort.

They didn't need to take action; the other demons were quickly subdued. There was no courtesy for these creatures; the Dog Demon and the Weasel were directly killed, and the Fox Demon was beaten half to death.

Shen Wang sighed as he watched, "Having connections is really important. This fox has a Demon Venerable backing it, and its treatment is different."

"The main reason is that once one cultivates into a Demon Venerable, they're at the pinnacle of this world. They'll be shown some respect wherever they go. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if a Demon Venerable retaliated."

Silver Moon said.

"Yes, Divinity Transformation is indeed rare, and advancing to that level is difficult."

Shen Wang nodded. Currently in the Nascent Soul stage, he could feel how slow his own cultivation was. Breaking through to the next major realm to become a Divinity Transformation level cultivator might take three hundred years under normal circumstances.

After all, the world's limits are there; under such restrictions, those who can break through are indeed few and far between.

In a short time, all the demons were captured. Liu Da Rong smiled at Shen Wang and happily flew over, saying, "Everything went smoothly. We're really lucky."

"Congratulations to Master for achieving a great feat."

Shen Wang returned the smile. Capturing so many demons was a bargaining chip in itself.

Even killing them would yield valuable materials like the Demon Pill.

One could say today's operation was beneficial not only to the Hundred Refining Sect but also to the entire Human Race, at least partially affecting the Demon Race.

"Why are you being polite, young man? You know the actual situation."

Liu Da Rong glanced at Shen Wang, then looked at Silver Moon, "Who's this by your side?"

"She's also my woman."

Shen Wang said calmly, making Silver Moon a bit shy. This was the first time Shen Wang had introduced her like this.

"Your woman?"

Liu Da Rong's expression was peculiar. With so many people around, he didn't press the issue, merely bewildered by how this young man convinced Zheng Yunshu.

"Yue'er, quickly greet Master."

Shen Wang was not embarrassed, telling Silver Moon to greet him.

Liu Da Rong nodded in response and said, "Be careful from here on out. The Fox Venerable's descendant has been captured, so the Demon Race will definitely take action and try to rescue her."

"We'll be cautious. Is there a solution to Yun Shu's matter and her entry into the Inner Sect?"

Shen Wang inquired.

"I'll mention it to the Sect Leader."

Liu Da Rong nodded, "It shouldn't be a problem, but some people might find trouble."

"Those are just minor issues."

Shen Wang was unconcerned. Fighting was just a way to stretch his muscles for him. The people Liu Da Rong mentioned didn't matter to him.

"Young man, be mindful of your limits when you fight." Liu Da Rong reminded, "See that bushy-eyebrowed guy? Tian Zhaoshuo, a strong candidate for the next Sect Leader; the people you offend are mostly related to him."

"Oh."

Shen Wang nodded, unthreatened by the man, yet aware that his many followers meant direct confrontation was best avoided and that battles could be with his subordinates instead.

Seeing Shen Wang's composed demeanor, Liu Da Rong sighed, "That's the situation. Once the Sect Leader locks the demons, I'll find a chance to bring up related matters. You can then bring someone back."

"Alright!"

Shen Wang showed a slight smile. After hiding for so long, Zheng Yunshu could finally return openly!

At this moment, Tian Zhaoshuo glanced over at Liu Da Rong and frowned, saying, "Liu Da Rong, escort this fox to be locked up."

Hearing this, Shen Wang left with Silver Moon, saying, "Let's go, let's eat whatever we feel like."

The courtyard where the Nine-tailed Demon Fox had been hiding needed handling, so Shen Wang and Silver Moon didn't return immediately.

They went to the Hundred Fragrances Tower for a meal, then wandered around the city for a while. When they returned at nightfall, the nearby arrays were no longer visible, and things had returned to normal.

The news that demons had been hiding in Hundred Refinements City had spread, attracting a lot of curious onlookers discussing it.

"Is it true that a Demon Emperor was captured?"

"It is true! The battle was earth-shattering today."

"I heard it was a Fox Emperor, mesmerizingly beautiful, but unfortunately I didn't see it."

Seeing these idle individuals, Shen Wang shook his head, saying, "News of the Fox Emperor's capture has already spread, probably intentionally."

"Enough to deter some of the Demon Race and relieve some pressure on the front line."

Silver Moon said knowingly.

"Do you want to return to the Demon Suppression Department?"

Shen Wang suddenly asked.

Silver Moon paused, her expression complex, "You still want me to go out in public?"

"Why do you say it like that? You're not a performer, you're a legitimate Demon-Banning Guard."

Shen Wang was speechless, "Just wait a bit longer. Once the timing is right, you can appear, though you'll have to provide some explanations at that point."

"Yes, my current status isn't suitable for fighting."

Silver Moon smiled as she touched her belly.

The next day, Shen Wang returned to Kunyu Mountain, discussing the plan with Zheng Yunshu, ready to proceed when the time was right.

Hearing this, Zheng Yunshu's eyes eventually turned wet. Holding Shen Wang, she asked, "Can I take our child to meet my brother and them?"

"Of course you can. Your husband still has the strength to protect you both."

Shen Wang smiled confidently.

"That's wonderful! My brother will be so happy to see us."

Zheng Yunshu's smile was as radiant as a flower. After enjoying the moment, she remembered something and said, "Husband, Liu Shan and his wife haven't returned. Did something happen?"

Before going to the Cave Mansion, Shen Wang had told Mr. and Mrs. Liu Shan to return home to visit relatives. Nearly a month had passed without their return, which had already been a topic of conversation among several sisters.

"Perhaps they got delayed by something. I'll check when I return to Jin Province tomorrow."

Shen Wang nodded, not overly worried. Mr. and Mrs. Liu Shan, following him, both had the strength of Innate Martial Artists, so they shouldn't encounter much danger among mortals.

Neither of them had offended any cultivators, so logically, nothing should have gone wrong.

After spending a day at Kunyu Mountain, Shen Wang left the next day and went to Qingsang Village, where Liu Shan was located.

Before even getting close, Shen Wang sensed a surge of sinister demonic aura approaching.

Looking into the distance, he saw a gray mist spreading over the land. Inside, the vegetation was withered, with many mulberry trees bare.

Clearly, it was spring and summer, yet the withered vegetation was not normal at all.

Shen Wang was surprised, "Demonic Qi? Has the power of the Demon Cave spread this far?"
