Walking through the city, Batwing and Deer Star looked around curiously.

His eyes were full of curiosity and excitement.

Batwing stared wide-eyed at the colorful stalls lining the street, marveling, "This human city is truly bustling with activity!"

"I've never seen such a dazzling array of things before in the Demon Realm!"

"No wonder those humans call us demons barbarians. Compared to their level, our so-called invitations are really nothing."

His thick fingers kept pointing and gesturing, as if he wanted to take in all this novelty.

Lu Xing nodded repeatedly, his face full of disbelief, muttering, "Absolutely! The buildings are tall and exquisite, the streets are wide and bustling, completely different from our demon realm, everything feels so new!"

"Perhaps we can also renovate our demon court by imitating human cities and make it more prosperous."

His gaze was drawn to a stall selling trinkets, and he went over to examine the small, exquisite items closely.

The two demons completely forgot that they were once demon kings.

"Haha, no need for that. Donghuang City is actually much more prosperous than this place; you just haven't seen it before," Hu Xiao replied with a smile.

"Eastern Imperial City, I wonder if we'll ever have another chance to visit it," Batwing replied with a smile.

"There will be an opportunity. After we resolve things here, we'll go back to Donghuang City." Hu Xiao had a faint smile on his face, even though all his savings had been moved there.

Then Luan Han'an asked Hu Xiao softly, "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"

Her eyes held a hint of dependence as she tilted her head slightly to look at Hu Xiao.

Hu Xiao glanced around, his gaze landing on a shop in the distance that was wafting a delicious aroma, and said, "Let's eat something first."

Although one has reached this level of cultivation, one no longer needs to rely on food for sustenance.

But having once been human, he still wanted to try the food made by humans.

Gou immediately echoed, smiling sweetly, "Your Majesty is right, I'd like to try it too."

A gentle smile graced her face. Since consummating her marriage with Hu Xiao, she had become increasingly gentle and graceful, completely unlike the sharp and ruthless woman she once was as the leader of a sect.

Mo Ran looked at Hu Xiao and Luan Han'an's inseparable appearance with a resentful expression, and could only silently follow behind.

She bit her lip, muttering to herself, "Hmph, all they do is show off their love and they don't care about my feelings at all."

Soon, the group arrived at an inn, led by Hu Xiao.

This inn looks quite old; the signboard at the entrance is slightly swaying, and the writing on it is a bit blurry, but you can still make out the words "Yuelai Inn".

Stepping into the inn, one is greeted by a bustling and lively atmosphere.

The tables were filled with guests, some drinking heartily, others talking and laughing loudly.

The air was filled with the aroma of food and the noise of people.

A waiter hurriedly approached, beaming, "Gentlemen, please come in. Are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

His eyes darted around, quickly taking in the group of people.

Hu Xiao said, "Show us some seats and let us eat something first."

The waiter quickly replied, "Alright, sir, this way please."

He then led them to a seat by the window.

After Hu Xiao and his group sat down, the waiter quickly handed them the menu and enthusiastically introduced, "Gentlemen, our restaurant's signature dishes include braised pork knuckle, steamed fish, and braised beef, all of which are exceptional. Would you like to try them?"

Hu Xiao ordered some dishes.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another.

Batwing and Deer Star had never eaten these things before, and their eyes widened in surprise.

Batwing stared at the dishes in front of him, his mouth practically watering, and exclaimed, "What are all these? They look so delicious!"

He eagerly picked up his chopsticks, but didn't know where to begin.

Lu Xing swallowed hard and muttered, "I don't know either, let's try it first."

He picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, his eyes immediately lighting up: "Mmm, delicious!"

At this moment, Hu Xiao heard people talking loudly nearby, about the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

One of them exclaimed excitedly, "I heard that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is about to send a team to wipe out the demons in a city! That's fantastic news!"

His face was full of anticipation, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope.

Another person chimed in, "That city was in terrible shape. There wasn't enough time to defend it. The entire city was invaded by the demons, and not a single person escaped. It was a truly tragic scene."

His voice was filled with deep regret as he shook his head and sighed.

Someone else chimed in, looking on with admiration: "The Ten Thousand Swords Sect is truly a good sect; they were able to step forward in a critical moment." His eyes were filled with respect.

Just then, another person nearby shouted indignantly, "Bullshit! This is the mess the Ten Thousand Swords Sect made of its own!"

"If it weren't for the Ten Thousand Swords Sect launching the war between humans and demons, there would have been several sects around that city that could have protected it."

"As a result, a war broke out between humans and demons, and all the cultivators in that city were wiped out!"

The man's face was flushed, his anger was palpable, and he was waving his arms as if he wanted to fight someone to the death.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone else was shocked and began to express their opinions.

One person was utterly astonished: "How could this be? Hasn't the Ten Thousand Swords Sect always claimed to be a righteous force?"

The other person frowned and speculated, "It's hard to say. Maybe there's something more to it."

Others shook their heads and sighed, "Alas, no matter what, the people of that city have suffered."

Luan Han'an was slightly taken aback when she heard this; she knew very well what was going on.

If they hadn't encountered Tiger Roar, their sect certainly wouldn't have been able to survive the previous demon attack.

It might become a dead land, just like that city.

Hu Xiao, however, quickly realized what was happening and turned to look at the people behind him, chuckling as he inquired, "Brothers, may I ask which city the Ten Thousand Swords Sect went to this time? And in which direction?"

The group looked at Hu Xiao with puzzled expressions.

"Why are you asking this?" one of them asked warily, his eyes filled with suspicion.

"You don't actually want to go over there, do you?" another person asked, sizing up Hu Xiao. "You? Don't go and get yourself killed!"

"Let me tell you, the demons are rampant over there. Ordinary cultivators who go there will only be waiting to die," another person kindly reminded them, their expression serious.

"Let's leave this kind of thing to the high-level sects. After all, they plunder the most resources on weekdays, so they should be the ones contributing the most in this situation."

Others chimed in, looking completely at ease.

Hu Xiao shook his head and said sincerely, "I naturally have my own plans, and I hope you gentlemen will inform me."
