Chapter 412 Return
Zhang Xiaolong [3] had already arrived at the ghostveil forest, and he immediately asked Arbeola to bring out the demons. After they woke up from their trance in absorbing the demon aura in the realm, they immediately told him about Oz the 1st and Azroth the 6th, as well as about Morgana.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] didn't expect that Arbeola's guess was correct, but he didn't expect that they could discover it so quickly, which was thanks to Morgana coming to them.
Additionally, Zygoz and Ursula also told Zhang Xiaolong [3] about the planned arrival of other powerful cultivators from the upper realms, which caused his expression to become serious, especially after he realized that they planned to destroy the seal.
"Can you restore his past memories, kid?" Zygoz suddenly asked.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] shook his head at Zygoz. "I can't be sure about that for now, and I have to check on the demon emperor's condition first. Unfortunately, Shang Guangming and Shang Yaolin stay by his side to watch over him, so we can't act rashly.
As for the slave mark in his soul, even Morgana can't do anything about it with her cultivation having reached the low level of the seven divine realms, let alone me with my cultivation still at the ten mortal realms. For now, we can only be patient and wait until the right time to free him from their clutches; otherwise, we will only die in vain if we force ourselves to free him now."
Zygoz nodded in understanding with Zhang Xiaolong [3] before asking again. "Are you going to take us back to the Diyu Realm? For now, the situation there is still safe with Oz the 2nd around, so I decided to stay in this realm, and I will take advantage of this demon aura to strengthen myself as soon as possible."
"You can take these three little girls back there, and I'll stay here." Zhang Xiaolong [3] wasn't surprised by Ursula's decision, especially since they were in the same generation as Zygoz and Tharnon, so they also had a special relationship with Oz the 1st.
"All right, you can stay in this realm with Zygoz, and Arbeola will protect you both." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then opened the map to check the demon emperor city, where he found Oz the 1st at the portal location along with Shang Guangming and Shang Yaolin. Additionally, he discovered Morgana and Tharnon in the vicinity, but they were evidently concealed from the Shang siblings. "Let's go back.
I want to talk to Oz the 2nd about this matter."
Angela and Virgil consented, as they had been absent for a considerable amount of time and no one managed their sub-realms. As for Ba Shuxiang, she could only resign herself to their fate of being prisoners, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately brought them back to the Diyu Realm after Mei opened the gate.
After they disappeared, Zygoz and Ursula immediately returned to the room below Arbeola, and they thought of nothing but focusing on absorbing the demon aura; only then could they help Zhang Xiaolong [3] to free Oz the 1st.

After they arrived at the Diyu Realm, Virgil rushed back to his sub-realm, especially since Zhang Xiaolong [3] would send them to his training space later. After all, she was now a demon cultivator, so she couldn't just focus on her demon power; she also had to improve her cultivation, which was still rock bottom.
Angela also returned to her own sub-realm to meet Nauvia the siren, particularly since she had decided to enter seclusion for two reasons. The first reason was because she wanted to strengthen herself, and the second reason was because she had promised Zhang Xiaolong [3] to build relationships with those closest to him.
After he summoned Oz the 2nd to meet him via his token, Zhang Xiaolong [3] turned to Ba Shuxiang and pulled her into a hug. "Are you enjoying your new life as a swan demon? You used to be ordinary, and there was nothing interesting about you. However, your appearance changed significantly after you became a demon, and you have become quite attractive now."
If only Ba Shuxiang had not met Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s partners and wives, and if only she was not his prisoner, then she would have been furious because of his words. After all, she was quite narcissistic, and she always felt that not many women could match her beauty, but he said that she was just ordinary.
"You can forget about your husband because he will never be able to escape from Oz's custody, and he will continue to live in this realm for the rest of his life." Ba Shuxiang became gloomy as soon as Zhang Xiaolong [3] mentioned her husband, but she herself was fully aware of their situation, and she also believed that she would never be able to meet Chi Zhongguo again.
"I will never force you to serve me, but you should know what's good for you, right?"
Ba Shuxiang did not refute Zhang Xiaolong's words, as he had previously imprisoned her and the other prisoners in the portable mansion for a considerable amount of time, so she was aware of his proficiency in dual cultivation.
In fact, they were tempted to try to do it with him, especially since they could hear the satisfaction and pleasure in those women's moans, which continued to echo in the mansion for several whole days.
'Sigh! I don't want to be in this kind of situation, but it was too late for me to regret everything. I had become a demon and lost my husband, and I couldn't commit suicide because of his mark in my soul.
It would be better if I accepted my situation, and I might have a better future if I faithfully served him.' Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled faintly as he watched her expression closely, but Ba Shuxiang suddenly hugged him and briefly kissed him. "Master, I don't like this, but I have decided to be your servant, and I will serve you for the rest of my life."
"Haha." Zhang Xiaolong [3] chuckled at that, then squeezed Ba Shuxiang's buttocks. "You have made the right decision, and I will make sure that you will never regret your decision. Even though you still think about your husband now, you will definitely forget him soon."
"Mhm." Ba Shuxiang only nodded to Zhang Xiaolong [3].
Suddenly, Oz the 2nd appeared in front of them, so Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately told him about Oz the 1st and his complicated situation, as well as his predecessor's relationship with Morgana.
Zhang Xiaolong [3]'s explanation caused Oz the 2nd to freeze for quite a while, but he then came back to his senses and became furious, and his demon aura also exploded, causing Ba Shuxiang and the demons around them to tremble in horror.
Immediately, Oz the 2nd calmed down and withdrew his demon aura, bringing a sense of relief to everyone. "I never imagined my predecessor would suffer such a terrible fate, and he even had to live as a slave to those people. Even so, I feel happy because he is still alive, and he even has such a powerful wife."
"Yeah." Zhang Xialong [3] nodded to Oz the 2nd. "What are your next plans? Do you want to go to the Netherworld Realm? Although you hold the title of demon emperor in this realm, your demon power pales in comparison to the demons in that realm, especially when compared to the demon power of your predecessor.
If you want to save the first demon emperor, then you have no other choice but to go there, so you can increase your strength together with Ursula and Zygoz. As for this realm, I don't think the Throne will move anytime soon, especially since I've already controlled the four angels, so he still doesn't know the situation here, which gives you a lot of time to strengthen yourself."
Oz the 2nd nodded in agreement with that. "There are a few demon rulers left, and Feltia [2] also lives in this realm, so my best option is to go to the Netherworld Realm for the time being. That way, my power can surpass the Throne, and we can devise new plans about them after we successfully free my predecessor.
Moreover, with my predecessor's return and his wife's presence, our strength will increase severalfold, and we can definitely reverse the situation between us and those birds."
"That's right." Mei immediately opened the gate to the Netherworld realm, and Zhang Xiaolong [3] asked Oz the 2nd to enter it. "You can focus on increasing your strength in that realm, and Feltia [2] will help the remaining demon rulers to watch over this realm."
"All right, I leave this realm to you."
After Oz the 2nd disappeared into the gate, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened his map because Mei had finished mapping the ancient places in the Diyu Realm, and he thought that the black key might be related to one of them.
'Feltia [2] can rest for the time being, so he can take the Amaris Twins and the others to check those places, and I hope to find something valuable behind that locked place.'
After they had waited for some time, Virgil had returned to them, especially since her sub-realm was the smallest and the number of demons living there were not too many, so she could take care of everything quickly. "Did Oz go to the Netherworld Realm?"
"Yeah." Zhang Xiaolong [3] responded to Virgil's question with a nod. "The situation in this realm has become more stable, and I believe those winged races will not invade this place anytime soon, so you guys can focus more on further increasing your strength."
A few minutes later, Angela had returned to the place, but she came with Nauvia. "She really enjoyed living in my sub-realm, so she agreed to be my deputy, and I will focus on my training."
"That's good." Zhang Xiaolong [3] then spoke to Nauvia. "Your mother has agreed to let you live freely, so you don't need to think about her anymore, and you can enjoy your freedom in Angela's sub-realm."
"Eh?" Nauvia gazed in disbelief at Zhang Xiaolong [3]. "Is my mother really not going to bother me anymore? How did you manage to convince her?"
Zhang Xiaolong [3] rubbed his nose as he told Nauvia the truth. "Kyllia has pledged allegiance to me, and she has spread the news of the Amaris Twins' betrayal to all of them, so I'm the new ruler of their sub-realm. Thus, the twins, your mother, and all the inhabitants are my subordinates now."
Nauvia looked genuinely shocked to hear that, especially since the Amaris Twins were clearly stronger than Zhang Xiaolong [3], but he had managed to subdue and take over their sub-realm to become the new ruler of that place.
However, she was sure that his path would not be easy because the residents of that place were all women, and they never liked male demons, so there would be many of them who would oppose him.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] smiled seeing Nauvia's reaction. "Do you think those demons will dare to reject me as their new ruler? The Amaris Twins have completely submitted to me, and they will help me to deal with them. Moreover, I still have Kyllia and your mother, so I'm sure that everything will work out smoothly."
"I see." Nauvia nodded in understanding before asking Zhang Xiaolong [3] once again. "Have you done anything unusual with my mother? Even though she gave birth to me, she doesn't really like male demons, and she wants to have a child just to fulfill her dream."
Zhang Xiaolong [3] had no intention of covering up Feltia [2]'s relationship with Nadea. "To tell you the truth, I've slept with your mother, and she always enjoys herself with me."
"So it's true, huh?" Nauvia mumbled softly. "Forget it; I don't care about my mother's personal affairs, and she can do whatever she wants. Since she has decided to serve you, I leave her to you, and I will live my own life in Ruler Angela's sub-realm."
Nauvia immediately turned around and wanted to fly away, but Zhang Xiaolong [3] suddenly grabbed her hand, so she turned to him with a frown. However, he suddenly pulled her closer and planted a kiss on her sweet lips, causing her eyes to widen in shock, and she reflexively pushed him back before wiping her lips. "Why did you do that to me?
I don't hate you, but I don't like you either, so you shouldn't do it."
"Haha." Virgil laughed and spoke to Nauvia. "Little girl, this guy has his eyes set on you, and you should remember that he is an incubus, so you shouldn't be surprised if he wants you for himself."
Angela nodded in agreement with Virgil. "If he wants something, he'll go to great lengths to get it. Since you're already on his radar, you should prepare yourself, and I am sure you will fall for him sooner or later."
"No! I don't need a man, and I want to enjoy my life in freedom, so I will never fall for him." After she said that, Nauvia hurriedly left the place.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] just smiled and didn't stop Nauvia from leaving, but Virgil and Angela shook their heads at his smile, and they were sure that he had already made plans for the siren.
Zhang Xiaolong [3] then sent Virgil and Angela into the training space, and he used his invisibility ability to bring Ba Shuxiang into an invisible state. After that, he brought her back to the Sky Jade Realm, especially since he wanted to find out the movements of the heretics of his slaves.

Once he arrived at the Chu Clan, Zhang Xiaolong [3] immediately opened his map to confirm the whereabouts of the heavenly foxes, but he couldn't find them because they had already returned to the Heavenly Moon Realm, which relieved him.
'Even though they have returned to the Heavenly Moon Realm, I am sure they will not give up so easily and will return to this realm again, so I still have to be careful.'
However, Zhang Xiaolong [3] frowned as soon as he saw the two red dots on his map, so he checked them both, and he frowned even more after seeing the names that appeared on them. 'Hu Qiaomu? Why is she in this city? Why is she turning hostile towards me now? Furthermore, Xing Mei's name, which was previously displayed as green on my map, has now changed to red.'
[What are you going to do about that moon fox, master? Since she came to this region by herself, I'm sure you can subdue her with your bloodline superiority. However, you still have to be careful of her, especially since her cultivation at 2-Star Sovereing Realm, and she is no less cunning than you.]
Zhang Xiaolong [3] nodded in agreement with Mei, but he then closed the map and took Ba Shuxiang to leave the Chu Clan, and he took her away to the western forest directly.
