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

An Nuan stood at the door for a while, then turned around and went back into her room.

She walked straight to the bedside, bent down and pulled a wooden box out from under the bed. The box seemed to have been there for a long time, as a thin layer of dust had accumulated on its surface. She raised her hand to wipe away the dust, placed the box on the table, and unlocked it.

Inside the box were three jade boxes of similar size, all engraved with fine runes. At the joint between the lid and the body, several lines connected end to end, sealing the gap tightly.

An Nuan pulled up a chair and sat down. She took out one of the jade boxes and slowly ran her fingertips along the runes on the surface, carefully examining each rune.

She examined it very carefully, not even missing the runes at the bottom. Only after confirming that it was properly sealed did she set it aside and take out the second one.

After checking the three jade boxes one by one, An Nuan's tense shoulders relaxed a little. She did not open the lids, but simply rearranged them and took out a storage ring from a small compartment inside the wooden box.

With a flash of inspiration, the jade boxes on the table were put into the ring one by one. An Nuan checked it one last time before putting the ring on and closing the empty box.

The room fell silent. She looked down at the ring on her hand, gently rubbing her thumb twice, and muttered softly, "It's about to begin."

......

That evening, Shen Chang'an returned to his residence and had just finished packing the things he needed to take the next day when his phone rang.

The call was from Murong Yan. After answering, she asked directly, "Back at your place? I came out for a bit; I brought you something."

He responded and quickly arrived outside the villa. Murong Yan was standing by the roadside, holding a long box in her hand. When she saw him coming, she handed the box over.

"Your Heavenly Net Umbrella is finished."

He was somewhat surprised. He took the long box and opened it. The Heavenly Net Umbrella was lying quietly inside. He reached out and grasped the handle, infused it with a wisp of spiritual power, and immediately felt a response from the umbrella.

"It's faster than expected; I thought I wouldn't make it this time."

Murong Yan said, "Li Shou knew you were going to the Demon Realm, so he specially sped up the process. After it was finished, he asked Xiao Jing to give it to you, and I just happened to bring it over for her."

Shen Chang'an looked down at the Heavenly Net Umbrella, withdrew the wisp of spiritual energy, and closed the box lid again: "Please thank Master Li for me. He even made him rush to finish it before I left. Thank you all for bringing it over for me."

Murong Yan glanced at the long box in his arms: "Why are you being so polite with me? Take it back and familiarize yourself with it. If you have any questions, let me know in time. Don't wait until you get to the demon realm to find out you don't know how to use it."

Shen Chang'an nodded with a smile: "I understand, Auntie."

"Okay, get some rest. See you at headquarters tomorrow morning."

The two confirmed the meeting time again, and Shen Chang'an said goodbye to her while carrying the long box, then turned and went back to his residence.

......

The next morning, as soon as the sky over Shanghai began to lighten, the headquarters of the Night Watchers were already bustling with activity.

Teams heading to the demon realm gradually gathered outside the medical department. Although the number of people was not large, their lineup was enough to make any human force take them seriously.

Cang Gu, Peng Lie, Jin Yao, Qing Ge, Tu Shan Fei Yue, Yuan Chong Yue, and Cang Wu Lan were all present, followed by several powerful demons from the Ancient Demon King's Court.

They had tried their best to conceal their auras, but the occasional emanation of the bloodline pressure from a dozen or so high-level demon race members still made the nearby members of the Night Guard feel somewhat uneasy.

Some people carrying documents approached, their steps unconsciously becoming lighter; others, seeing the group of great demons from afar, simply changed their route.

Peng Lie had specially changed into a black and gold robe today. He stood in front with his hands behind his back, occasionally looking up at the entrance of the medical department. Jin Yao and Qing Ge stood to the side, seemingly calm, but their eyes also rarely left the entrance.

After waiting for so many days, it's finally time to set off.

Murong Yan had also arrived. She was wearing the black uniform of a Level 3 Inspector and looked much the same as when she first came to Shanghai. However, she had not fully recovered her energy and her aura was slightly weaker than when she was at her peak.

She glanced at the group of solemnly dressed, neatly standing demons before her, then looked at the entrance to the medical department, her expression somewhat strange.

Those who knew were there to pick up Du Yue and set off; those who didn't probably thought some demon emperor was resting inside.

Meanwhile, deep inside the medical department, Shen Chang'an was sitting on a bench outside Du Yue's room.

The sound of rummaging through things could be heard from inside the room. Shen Chang'an waited outside for about ten minutes, and was about to knock on the door to ask when the door opened a crack and Du Yue peeked out.

Do you have a storage ring?

Shen Chang'an looked at her: "Yes, why?"

"Put things in."

Du Yue pointed into the room: "My backpack is full."

He took out a storage ring and handed it over: "Take this, hurry up and pack, everyone's waiting outside."

"Okay, soon."

Du Yue took the ring and then retreated back into the room.

Not long after, she came out carrying a small white backpack, wearing the ring she had just received, and her face was visibly more relaxed.

Shen Chang'an stood up and asked, "Is everything installed?"

"alright."

Du Yue nodded and then held out her hand, which was wearing a ring: "Could you check if this is okay for me?"

Shen Chang'an probed into his divine sense, glanced at it, and his gaze immediately stopped.

There are several sets of clothes inside the ring.

After Du Yue adapted to life in the human world, she no longer only used feathers to create clothes, but also wore the dresses that everyone gave her.

The clothes were neatly folded and placed in a corner, taking up only a small space.

What remained were boxes of pastries, bags of snacks, and neatly piled spirit fruits. She had taken almost everything that the Golden Phoenix Clan and the Azure Phoenix Clan had sent over the past few days, not even leaving behind the half-eaten box of biscuits.

"You spent all that time tidying up, and all you're doing is packing this?"

"And clothes too."

Du Yue reminded her.

Shen Chang'an looked at her: "I saw the clothes, I almost couldn't find them. Why did you bring so much food?"

"Eat it on the way."

Du Yue answered matter-of-factly, "Besides, nobody's going to eat it here, it would be such a waste if it went bad."

"If you go to the demon realm, do you think they'll let you go hungry?"

"That's different. These are all foods I've eaten and found delicious."

Du Yue looked down and touched the ring, then added, "If you get hungry, you can ask me for some."

Shen Chang'an, rendered speechless by her words, withdrew his divine sense and said, "Alright, no problem releasing it, let's go."

Du Yue was relieved and took a few steps, but then slowed down and turned to look at the intensive care unit on the other side of the corridor.

Even through the wall, she could still sense Old Wang's calm presence. These past few days, she had been living here almost constantly, visiting him every day. Now that she was really leaving, she felt a little uneasy.

She asked softly, "Are we just leaving like this? Is Old Wang really alright?"

Shen Chang'an followed her gaze and said, "It's alright. He's recovering very well. Staying here to continue nurturing his soul will also benefit him. You don't need to worry about him."

He knew Wang Lao's current condition better than the medical staff. His soul had recovered to the point where he could try to wake up, and his state in his dreams was also very stable. However, he showed no signs of ending his recuperation for the time being.

"Old Fang is still at headquarters. He will handle any situation promptly. It's not like we're going there and never coming back."

Du Yue nodded, then looked towards the intensive care unit for a while, raised her hand and waved gently, as if saying goodbye to Old Wang through the wall.

"Let's go then."

Shen Chang'an led her outside.

Before the two even left the medical department, the demons outside had already sensed their presence. Their hushed conversations ceased one after another. Peng Lie and Jin Yao subconsciously straightened their robes, and even Yuan Chongyue lowered his arms from his chest.

As soon as Du Yue stepped across the threshold, she saw more than a dozen people turn to face her.
