High-level martial arts: Long spear with black flames to suppress demons.

After a few minutes, the demon delegation started to get impatient and seemed restless.

Cang Wulan, who was standing nearby, asked, "Is Your Highness still in the medical department?"

"Um."

Fang Jiming nodded: "She has been staying with Old Wang the whole time and has basically never left the medical department."

Cang Wulan seemed to be deep in thought and did not pursue the matter further.

Sitting on the other side, Jin Yao, the patriarch of the Golden Phoenix Clan, couldn't help but ask, "How is Your Highness's physical condition now? Your bloodline has only recently awakened; has there been any loss of control over your true fire, or disorder in your Nirvana power?"

Fang Jiming said, "Everything is normal at the moment. The medical department checks her body every day and has not found any problems so far."

Jin Yao visibly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good then."

He hesitated for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "What is the relationship between this Shen Chang'an and Your Highness?"

Fang Jiming glanced at him.

"You can ask him about the specifics when he gets back. But since Du Yue woke up, she's had the most contact with him and trusts him the most now."

Upon hearing this, the demons present exchanged glances.

Peng Lie nodded slowly. No wonder His Highness had made it clear that he would wait for Shen Chang'an to return before deciding whether to formally meet with them.

For a phoenix that has just awakened, the ancient demon royal court, the eight royal families, and even the five phoenix clans in front of it are all strangers.

On the contrary, Shen Chang'an is the person she truly knows and trusts now.

Seeing that no one was asking any further questions, Li Xu took the initiative to say, "You are all here as a formal delegation to Donghuang. If there is anything, we can discuss it after Du Yue and Shen Chang'an arrive."

"The headquarters in the Demon City is responsible for coordinating this. As for whether Du Yue is ultimately willing to go to the Demon Realm, I hope everyone will respect her decision."

Peng Lie nodded: "That's natural."

Jin Yao also said, "As long as we can see His Highness, everything else can be discussed slowly."

……

at the same time.

Shen Chang'an had already appeared downstairs at the headquarters of the Zhenye Division.

The spatial fluctuations around him had just subsided when Yuan Qi, who was waiting near the entrance, quickly walked over.

She was holding a stack of hastily compiled information on demon realm personnel, and her expression was much more serious than usual.

"Inspector Shen."

Yuan Qi, standing beside him, quickly introduced, "The Tianpeng Clan and the Cangchi Clan each sent a main representative, and the Jinfeng and Qingfeng Clans have also come."

"In addition, there were also the entourage of the Ancient Demon King's Court, as well as the cultivators from the Demon Capital Headquarters responsible for receiving them."

As Shen Chang'an walked inside, he asked, "Are they all on the fourth floor?"

"The key personnel are all in the reception room on the fourth floor, and Li Xu, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Yaodu headquarters, has also arrived."

He looked in the direction of the medical department.

"What did Du Yue say?"

She said she would decide after you came back.

Yuan Qi explained, "After we told her that the demon realm delegation had arrived, she stayed in the lounge. The demon realm delegation didn't urge her, and no one tried to break in. After hearing that Du Yue was waiting for you, they all went to the reception room."

Shen Chang'an felt a little relieved.

Du Yue has only been awake for a short time, and now so many demons have suddenly appeared, all for her sake. It's understandable that she doesn't want to face them alone.

"Let's go to the medical department first."

Yuan Qi was slightly taken aback: "Not meeting the delegation first?"

"They've been waiting for a while already, so a little longer won't make a difference."

Shen Chang'an continued walking: "Moreover, it mainly depends on Du Yue's wishes now. I'll ask her what she thinks first."

Yuan Qi didn't say anything more.

The two quickly arrived at the medical department.

The intensive care unit where Mr. Wang is located remains under lockdown.

Du Yue was in the lounge next door, with two security guards standing outside. They visibly relaxed when they saw Shen Chang'an.

"Inspector Shen, Du Yue has been waiting for you inside."

Shen Chang'an walked to the door. Before he could even knock, he felt a slight fluctuation in the familiar Phoenix True Fire within the room.

Du Yue clearly knew he had arrived; a few seconds later, the door opened from the inside.

She stood barefoot behind the door, her golden eyes glancing past Shen Chang'an at Yuan Qi and the two security guards outside before returning to him.

"Come in first."

She grabbed Shen Chang'an's sleeve and pulled him into the lounge.

The door closed again.

Du Yue then said, "You're finally back. A lot of people came just now... oh, no, a lot of demons."

"They said they came from the demon realm, but I don't recognize any of them."

"So you're planning to wait until I get back before deciding whether to see me or not?"

"Um."

Du Yue nodded.

Shen Chang'an glanced around the room.

The table was piled with the snacks Du Yue had left over from the past few days, and next to it were Old Wang's treatment records.

Shen Chang'an explained, "After they learned that the phoenix had appeared in the world, they came all the way from the demon realm to see you."

"What do you want to see me for?"

"We might invite you to the demon realm, or we might have other things we want to talk to you about, but you don't have to agree to anything right now. Whether you want to meet or go to the demon realm is up to you."

Du Yue nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

She knew she was a phoenix, and she knew that the Phoenix True Fire and the power of Nirvana were very special, but she couldn't understand why so many people from the demon realm had suddenly arrived just because she had awakened from a long slumber.

In her limited understanding, she only knew Shen Chang'an, Old Wang, and some other people who were willing to take care of her after she woke up.

"Will they arrest me?"

Du Yue asked in a low voice.

"No, this is the headquarters of the Night Guard. Besides, since the people from the Demon Realm have come as a formal delegation, they won't take action directly."

He paused.

"If someone really wants to force you, they'll have to ask me first if I agree."

Upon hearing this answer, Du Yue finally loosened her grip on his sleeve.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Fang Jiming's voice then rang out.

"it's me."

Upon hearing his voice, Shen Chang'an immediately opened the door.

Fang Jiming stood alone outside, without letting any demons follow him.

He glanced at Du Yue first, his tone much gentler than usual: "Du Yue, the demon realm delegation is still waiting on the fourth floor."

"They want to meet with you formally, just to have a talk."

"The deputy commander of the Demon Capital is also here. Everyone hopes you will go and meet him, even if it's just to refuse him in person. It mainly depends on your personal wishes."

Du Yue did not answer immediately, but looked up at him.

Shen Chang'an said, "Perhaps we can go and listen to what they have to say first."

"I'll go with you. If you don't want to continue talking, we can leave anytime."

"You're not going to sneak away, are you?"

He was exasperated: "What are you thinking? How could I possibly sneak away?"
