The Demon Emperor turned around, a warmth in his eyes.

"You've come."

Chen Xingzhu kept a cold face, not even looking at him.

The Sword Emperor opened his eyes and sighed.

"Little Zhu, why did you come in here? It might expose you."

Chen Xingzhu shook her head: "Uncle Miao, how are you feeling?"

Miao Yifeng slowly sat up and put on his clothes.

"Much better, the professor's Gene Repair Fluid is very effective, my internal injuries have improved a lot."

The Demon Emperor sighed, feeling somewhat apologetic.

"Brother Miao, it's my fault."

"I didn't know the power of the Divine Crystal, it's so strong it almost made me lose myself."

The Sword Emperor shook his head: "Two brothers, for life."

"Between us, is there really any right or wrong?"

Chen Xingzhu sneered: "What about me, and Zhong Xiang? Do you owe us?"

The Demon Emperor turned his gaze, a flash of guilt in his eyes.

"I owe you, and I owe Zhong Xiang."

"But Little Zhu, you have to understand your father, at that time Zhong Xiang was ambitious, I had no choice but to..."

"Enough, I don't want to discuss the past."

Chen Xingzhu interrupted the Demon Emperor without any reservation.

She took out a large parcel of strange items from her travel bag.

"The people from the Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions have left, I need to get you both out of here now."

Inside the travel bag were stacks of cash, besides whole bundles of hundred-yuan bills, there were some loose change.

Additionally, the bag contained two DNA disguise masks.

In a sealed metal box, there were ID cards, passports, and even bank cards and driver licenses.

Aside from these items, there were two new mobile phones, a hand-drawn map.

The map marked out the escape route and transit points across the border for the two of them.

The route was marked with arrows, red dots, and other symbols—though complex, it was clear at a glance.

Chen Xingzhu handed these items to the Sword Emperor and the Demon Emperor, and carefully reminded them.

"I have cleared the way along this route."

"If anything unexpected happens along any route, there are pre-set emergency plans."

"Follow this road, you should be able to escape."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you can leave from Yun Province's Meng Zhan, follow a convoy protected by warlords to Tai Country, and then transfer to the Mysterious Country."

The Sword Emperor and the Demon Emperor looked at each other.

The Demon Emperor released a long sigh, his gaze warmer.

"Little Zhu, why don't you come with me?"

"I want to teach you everything I know, you'll live better than any princess of any king in this world."

Chen Xingzhu snickered: "You're trying to say I'm a princess, right?"

"But a princess without a prince, what's the point?"

She lowered her gaze and said softly.

"I want to wait here for Zhong Xiang, I believe he'll come looking for me."

The Demon Emperor's eyes showed a hint of sorrow, and he sighed lightly.

"I truly never knew you felt so deeply for Zhong Xiang; I thought you were just being playful, otherwise..."

Chen Xingzhu raised her voice, glaring at him.

"Otherwise what?"

This time, the Demon Emperor's gaze did not back down.

"Otherwise, I would rather be the one caught in the Kunlun Mountain Sky Prison."

"You are my daughter, there's no one in this world who wishes for your happiness more than I do."

"Don't say imprisonment; even if it costs me my life, I wouldn't hesitate."

Chen Xingzhu's eyes, like burning knives, fixed on the Demon Emperor's gaze.

The Demon Emperor's eyes remained calm and clear, not even blinking as he looked at her.

Finally, Chen Xingzhu lowered her head.

"I believe what you say is true, but so what?"

"My lifelong happiness is still ruined by you; my husband, my children are gone."

Mist gathered in the Demon Emperor's eyes, and he released a long sigh, lowering his head.

The Sword Emperor leaned back on the camp bed, his gaze full of warmth and comfort.

"Seeing you both reconciled, I am truly so happy."

"Little Zhu, don't worry; Zhong Xiang's sentence is almost over, and soon you'll be able to reunite as a family."

Finally, a sweet smile appeared on Chen Xingzhu's face.

"Yes, twelve years have passed; the Sky Prison can't hold him forever."

"My man is about to be released, I'm so happy."

Seeing the happiness glowing on his daughter's face, the Demon Emperor's hardened heart finally softened.

His throat felt somewhat choked.

"What have I done? The one who single-handedly destroyed my daughter's happiness, it turned out to be me, I..."

His gaunt fingers reached to touch Chen Xingzhu's hair.

Chen Xingzhu tilted her head, trying to avoid his hand, but ultimately did not evade.

She allowed the Demon Emperor's hand to stroke her long hair.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor was no longer an almighty threat to humanity, a Great Demon who slaughtered many.

He was merely a remorseful, loving father.

The warmth from his palm softened Chen Xingzhu's defiant, enraged gaze, yet she still stubbornly kept her head up, not speaking.

The Sword Emperor chuckled twice.

"Alright, alright, this journey is dangerous, with the Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions and Lanting Group watching."

"We're not fit to take Little Zhu with us; once Zhong Xiang is out, you and your family can reunite in the Mysterious Country."

He looked at Chen Xingzhu with a friendly smile.

"Back then, King Wuxiang was considered the top expert of the Heavenly Demon Alliance; even your father and I were no match for him."

"Once Zhong Xiang is out, with the two of us old guys assisting, he can surely rule the world."

The Demon Emperor nodded, his gaze showing deep regret.

"Little Zhu, rest assured, whatever I owed Zhong Xiang back then, I will repay in full this time."

"As long as you love each other, what are Heavenly Demon Alliance or the Martial Arts myth compared to your happiness?"

"I only hope you can give me a grandchild."

Chen Xingzhu spat: "The older you get, the more you're talking nonsense!"

Her face was flushed with red, corners of her mouth full of a sweet smile.

"So, you're really not going to make things difficult for Zhong Xiang?"

The Demon Emperor shook his head: "I've cultivated into the Demi-God Physique and suddenly understood many things."

"In the vast universe, during the endless ages, what is truly worth cherishing?"

"Only true human feelings are eternal."

"Even if after Zhong Xiang's release, he wants my life, for your sake, I won't be stingy."

Chen Xingzhu nodded slightly and said softly.

"Rest assured, Zhong Xiang realized this truth years ago, he won't harm you."

The Sword Emperor checked the time, got up, and stretched his limbs.

"Alright, let's not delay, let's go."

The Demon Emperor nodded.

After all the father-daughter conflicts of over ten years suddenly disappeared, he felt somewhat reluctant.

The Demon Emperor hesitated for a moment, but then made up his mind.

"I've said, I want to repay all I owed Zhong Xiang and you back then."

"This time while leaving the country, I don't know if I'll survive, so I'll hand the Heavenly Demon Alliance to you and Zhong Xiang now."

He took off an agate jade ring from his finger and handed it to Chen Xingzhu.

"This is the token of the Heavenly Demon Alliance; with it, you and Zhong Xiang can open my private safe at the Swiss Bank."

"My special compartment contains all the Heavenly Demon Alliance's information and money."

With that, he sadly smiled.

"I don't know why, but I feel this time the situation is dire, I fear some unforeseen accident."

"The Heavenly Demon Alliance will eventually pass on to you, might as well give it to you in advance; once Zhong Xiang is out of the Kunlun Mountain Sky Prison, give him the token."

Listening to her father say these words, Chen Xingzhu felt very uneasy. A bad omen surged within her.
