After realizing that he had to help the young woman and resolve the situation, Zheng-Fu immediately took action and shouted.

"Miss, if what you say is true, prove that you're not from the Demon Tribe." After speaking, he turned to Jin-Tian and signaled him to unleash all of his true energy waves.

Wooooosh!!!

Ah!!!

"The eighth level of the Divine Emperor stage!!!"

"The eighth level of the Divine Emperor stage!!!"

Several people nearby instantly stepped back dozens of steps. The terrifying and formidable wave of energy and pressure caused even many highly skilled martial masters at the same level as Jin-Tian to be shocked. This level of energy gave them goosebumps.

"I… I… I… I don't know how to prove myself. If there's any tool that can verify me, you can use it to see if what I'm saying is true!" The young woman felt a slight pressure when she sensed Jin-Tian's energy wave.

"Inspection tool? Ah! I remember Commander Dan-Ge has such a tool. If someone could invite him here, he could use it to examine her!" Zheng-Fu continued with the plan he had in mind, citing Dan-Ge's name.

Zheng-Fu referred to Dan-Ge because he could help him, but as for the inspection tool, Zheng-Fu had to find another way once Dan-Ge arrived. He figured he would roughly create a spelled talisman and use it to test the young woman in front of everyone. The spelled talisman would, of course, be an ordinary light-spelled talisman, reusable for many occasions.

If it could only be used once, it wouldn't be considered a tool, as he had mentioned. Everyone could see it as just an ordinary spelled talisman and might realize that he had staged a hoax that could damage Dan-Ge's reputation.

Therefore, Zheng-Fu had to execute everything carefully and quickly, without anyone realizing what he was doing. The only way to prevent anyone from knowing was to create a situation that would draw everyone's attention elsewhere.

"You mean Commander Dan-Ge of Huang-Di City?" a young man not far from Zheng-Fu asked.

"That's right. Before coming here, I heard that Huang-Di City was infiltrated by Demon Tribe spies. Commander Dan-Ge captured them and used that verification tool to reveal the real demon. So, I think it could be of use in her case," Zheng-Fu replied immediately, turning toward the young man.

"So how do we invite Commander Dan-Ge here? He isn't in the capital. Besides, he's a commander, the ruler of a great city. Ordinary people cannot approach him unless they are members of large clans, groups, or the royal family… Oh, yes! Prince Heng-Jie!"

"Um, yes! Prince Heng-Jie is here now!"

"If it's Prince Heng-Jie, he can invite Commander Dan-Ge!"

Suddenly, everyone remembered the status of the young man, Heng-Jie, the prince. His power should be enough to invite a commander like Dan-Ge. However, Heng-Jie's expression wasn't very confident, as he wasn't sure if he had the authority to summon Commander Dan-Ge.

"But I… I'm not sure if I can do it. Even though I'm a prince, I don't have that much power in the palace. Besides, Commander Dan-Ge is in Huang-Di City, which is far from here," replied the young man, with a heavy heart. He didn't have the influence or power to invite anyone, even if the other party was just a commander.

"For that matter, Your Highness doesn't need to worry. Commander Dan-Ge is in the capital, at his residence. You can go see him. It isn't far from Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall. But if you're hesitant to go, let my man go instead, as I know the commander quite well."

Huh...?

Zheng-Fu's words surprised everyone. Some thought he was lying and boasting, while others didn't think so, as Jin-Tian's powerful and formidable energy waves were no illusion. This implied that Zheng-Fu had to be of very high status, though they didn't know which clan or group he belonged to.

"I'm not afraid, but I'm just not sure if I can do it. By the way, do you really know Commander Dan-Ge?" Prince Heng-Jie asked, trying to deny any fear while questioning Zheng-Fu's relationship with Dan-Ge.

"I'm not sure if we'd be called acquaintances, but Commander Dan-Ge and I have spoken before. If you go to him, you can use my name and say that 'Zheng-Fu' introduced you. Or you can go with my confidant, as he knows the commander too," Zheng-Fu answered indirectly, mixing both truth and falsehood.

"Good! But I won't go with your people. I'll go with you instead. You look like you can help me invite the commander. As for your people and half of my guards, we'll leave them here to prevent her from escaping," the prince agreed but requested to go with Zheng-Fu rather than Jin-Tian.

'This young prince isn't a fool after all. But it's good that I'm going myself. It'll make it easier to hand over the spelled talisman to Master Dan-Ge, and I can explain my plan to him beforehand,' Zheng-Fu smiled slightly before reverting to his normal expression and agreed, "All right! I'll go with you myself."

When Zheng-Fu agreed, the young prince and half of his men descended from the stage and walked over to take Zheng-Fu to Dan-Ge's residence as agreed.

The journey to Dan-Ge's residence took only a short time, and they were able to bring Dan-Ge back to Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall. On the way back, Zheng-Fu discreetly handed over the spelled talisman to Dan-Ge and explained his plan.

After arriving at Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall, Dan-Ge followed Zheng-Fu's lead and used the spelled talisman on Qing-Ying-Xiao to demonstrate that she wasn't really from the Demon Tribe. At first, no one believed in the talisman, but when they saw it being used without disappearing, they finally accepted it as a genuine tool.

Once everything was cleared up, people began to disperse. But before they could leave, the city's security forces arrived to handle the situation. Only those from large clans or influential people were allowed to leave, while the others were required to stay and give testimony.

"Royal Son-in-law, what's going on here?" Dan-Ge finally asked, sensing that there had to be more to the situation.

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just encountered a great, skilled martial master from the Demon Tribe who had been possessing the body of the Qing-Niang-Ji Heavenly Hall Leader for many years. I accidentally killed him and learned all about his plans," Zheng-Fu said, without revealing the entire truth.

"All the Demon Tribe's plans?" Dan-Ge was surprised but quickly nodded in understanding. Zheng-Fu had even helped him succeed in advancing to the Divine King stage, so he had no trouble believing that Zheng-Fu could extract secrets from someone.

"This is very important. We need to meet my father-in-law to discuss this matter!" Zheng-Fu didn't elaborate further, knowing that it concerned both him and the Monster Kingdom. He suggested meeting the Monster King to devise a countermeasure plan.

"All right!!!"

Dan-Ge agreed with Zheng-Fu's plan and hurriedly headed to the royal palace. As for Jin-Tian, Zheng-Fu ordered him to return to Dan-Ge's residence to take care of the two brothers and the three girls they had brought back.

On the other side of the Hell Region, at a large black castle perched on a cliff...

"Is that crazy brothel old man dead!?" an elder demon sitting in the great hall of the black castle cried out, startled, after receiving a report from a small demon soldier.

"What!? The scheming brothel old man is dead? How is that possible? Who killed him?" As soon as the elder demon exclaimed, the disbelieving voice of a large demon clad in heavy armor immediately followed.

"I'm not sure either, but what I do know is that the cunning brothel old man is dead. And it seems the person who killed him extracted some information from him," the elder demon said, his expression full of worry.

"Elder, are you saying that the monsters already know about our plans?" Suddenly, a muscular, well-built young demon interrupted curiously.

"I can't say for certain, Your Highness! But whether they know or not, we should change our plans," the elder demon earnestly replied to the young demon.

"We won't change any plans. All plans will remain as they are! Huh! Even if they know some of our plans, they don't know all of them. Besides, the Holy Ancient Region invasion is progressing well," a majestic and powerful voice suddenly rang out. The owner of this voice was the Demon Emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone responded immediately, for the emperor's commands were absolute. The ten armored demons seated in the forum all had joyful expressions on their faces, eager for battle and thirsting for bloodshed.

'Why am I feeling uneasy? It's as though someone is meddling. But no matter who it is, I, the Demon Emperor, will kill him myself!'

The Demon Emperor did not concern himself with anyone at that moment. Having already ascended to the highest level of the Divine King stage, he was confident in his abilities. Even five elementary Divine-King-stage masters could not withstand him, so he felt invincible.

And if it hadn't been for the immense energy waves he sensed earlier, he wouldn't have appeared here like this.
