The vengeance for his parents and the plot to kill him, Xu Feng had not forgotten for a single day. He looked at the announcement posted by Run Yu, resolved to become a demon, and contend against Run Yu. Xu Feng knew he needed a detailed plan to bring down King Gucheng. Bian Cheng Wang said that he had previously placed a secret agent specifically for this matter, and as he spoke, he summoned this person.

Xu Feng saw that this person looked exactly like Lichuan. Bian Cheng Wang said he was Lichuan's twin brother Mo Qi, and whether Xu Feng's goal could be achieved depended on a key person, precisely King Qingcheng, who had been helped by Liao Yuanjun. Liao Yuanjun, who saved people in the mortal realm, sowed good karma, accumulating good results for the current Xu Feng, and could be considered a comfort to his spirit.

Mo Qi met with King Gucheng in Lichuan's identity, saying he had lived a life worse than death and did not understand why King Gucheng wanted to kill him. King Gucheng explained that back then Xu Feng had found out he was planting Jiangzhu grass, and if he hadn't died that year, everything would have been over once they traced it back to him.

Mo Qi continued to provoke King Gucheng, saying that without his Qiongqi Plague Needles, he would not have been able to cultivate Jiangzhu grass, and now King Gucheng was washing his hands of it, completely disregarding his fate. King Gucheng nodded repeatedly in agreement and even admitted that he was the one who had killed Yan Cheng Wang back then.

King Gucheng wanted to kill Mo Qi, but Xu Feng appeared in time and even invited King Qingcheng to preside over justice. King Gucheng had murdered the Demon Lord and framed City Lord, so King Qingcheng, in his capacity as the Great Elder representing the Four Quarters and Twelve Cities, removed King Gucheng from the position of Demon Lord. King Gucheng was furious and tried to kill King Qingcheng with the Demon Suppressing Pestle, but was struck by Xu Feng.

King Gucheng fled in panic, and Liu Ying and Mu Ci pursued, but King Gucheng still escaped. In Yu Jiang Palace, the people of the Demon Realm gathered. King Qingcheng presided over the meeting, asking everyone to elect a new Demon Lord. Bian Cheng Wang gave up his eligibility to be Demon Lord and recommended Xu Feng.

The people of the Demon Realm were divided into two factions; some worried about offending the Heavenly Realm, while others believed that the Fire Deity had helped the Demon Realm suppress chaos multiple times and supported him as Demon Lord. King Qingcheng believed that Xu Feng had rescued the Demon Realm multiple times and that the Demon Realm and the Heavenly Realm were originally two independent entities, so there was no question of offending.

Furthermore, Xu Feng had also saved King Qingcheng's life, so King Qingcheng supported Xu Feng as Demon Lord. King Qingcheng called out Xu Feng and asked if he was willing to become a member of the Demon Clan and assume the position of Demon Lord. Before Xu Feng could answer, he was stopped by the Moon Immortal who had rushed over.

The Moon Immortal asked Xu Feng to think carefully, saying that if he chose wrongly, he would abandon the bloodline of the Heavenly Realm's dragon. Xu Feng had not the slightest doubt. He stated that he was willing to join the Demon Clan and dedicate his life to the well-being of the Demon Realm's common people.

Xu Feng drank the demon blood granted by King Qingcheng, vowing that from then on, he would go his own way and have nothing more to do with the Heavenly Realm. King Qingcheng granted the Demon Slaying Pestle to Xu Feng. Xu Feng held the pestle high. The power of the pestle coursed through Xu Feng, and Xu Feng's clothes transformed into those of the Demon Lord. Everyone willingly bowed to him as their lord.

Bian Cheng Wang and Liu Ying looked at this scene, naturally overjoyed. Immortal Kuanglu came to tell Run Yu that Xu Feng had become the Demon Lord. Run Yu was surprised. Immortal Kuanglu believed that Xu Feng's action was declaring war on the Heavenly Realm, while Run Yu knew that the current Xu Feng was no longer the same Xu Feng as before.

Yan You came to cheer Jin Mi up, telling Jin Mi that Xu Feng's temperament had changed greatly, and he turned no one away when it came to beautiful women. As long as they were willing to serve in Yu Jiang Palace, he would accept them all, and he also advised Jin Mi not to be sad over such a fickle person.

Jin Mi was lost in thought, flipping through the stories about Xu Feng that Yan You brought from the Demon Realm, unaware that Run Yu was already standing behind her. Run Yu watched Jin Mi being so infatuated with Xu Feng and asked Jin Mi if she had ever considered that perhaps Xu Feng didn't want to see her at all. Jin Mi knew she had no face to see Xu Feng.

She just wanted to look at Xu Feng from afar. Xu Feng cultivated too much, causing his hands to freeze and his body to be uncontrollably uncomfortable. He could only use alcohol to suppress the physical discomfort. Sui He felt heartbroken when she saw this. She hugged Xu Feng tightly, but Xu Feng discovered the scar on Sui He's hand. Sui He said this was a scar left from when she was injured by Yin Que while saving Xu Feng.

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng took Sui He to the Bird Tribe Realm to reclaim the position of Bird Tribe leader for Sui He. Yin Que was executed on the spot by Xu Feng. Seeing this, the other elders one after another submitted to the Demon Realm and once again supported Sui He as the new leader of the Bird Tribe. The Bird Tribe members escorted Que Ling onto the platform to be dealt with by Sui He.

Sui He originally intended to imprison Que Ling, but Xu Feng said Sui He was too merciful. So Sui He changed her words and ordered Que Ling to be executed within days as a warning to others. Immortal Kuanglu was reporting on the situation of the Bird Tribe to Run Yu, but King Gucheng came alone to see him.

King Gucheng proposed to help Run Yu take down the Demon Realm, and his condition was to return to the position of Demon Lord. King Gucheng had been plotting to attack the Heavenly Realm just a few days prior, so Run Yu naturally did not trust him. But King Gucheng proposed that he could find the Soul Annihilation Arrow to kill Xu Feng and eliminate future troubles for Run Yu permanently.

Run Yu still kept Jin Mi under house arrest in Xuanji Palace. Yan You had no choice but to find the Moon Immortal to help break the barrier. The Moon Immortal thought that Xu Feng's matter this time was again the result of Jin Mi and Run Yu conspiring together. He was full of anger towards Jin Mi, wishing she would suffer the punishment of heavenly thunder and earthly fire, and refused to help at all.

Run Yu spoke at length, saying many good things about Jin Mi, and only then did the Moon Immortal and Yan You depart for Xuanji Palace. With the help of the Moon Immortal, Jin Mi finally walked out of the barrier. She thanked the immortal for his many rescues and decided to go to the Demon Realm to visit Xu Feng. Inside the Demon Clan palace, Xu Feng was leisurely drinking and watching dancers, but suddenly became furious.

It turned out a demon attendant had brought the wrong fruit and placed a plate of grapes in the hall. Jin Mi knew this was because Xu Feng hated her so much, which was why he disliked grapes so intensely. She dared not move forward, but returned to the Liuzi Pond in the Heavenly Realm, crying as she looked at the withered phoenix tree. She decided to give herself one more chance. If the phoenix tree could bloom this time, she would go see Xu Feng again.
