Chapter 264: Emperor Xia Arrives
Zhou Chen, who was fighting fiercely with the Demon King Zhentian outside the city, suddenly heard a loud noise. He turned around and found that there was a surge of demonic energy rising from the ground and straight into the sky. He saw that the city defense formation was also broken at this moment.

Seeing this, the Demon King Zhentian laughed out loud, “Hahaha, it’s done, it’s done.”

Zhou Chen made a sword gesture, and the long sword in front of him immediately burst out with powerful sword energy, flying towards the Zhentian Demon King, directly forcing the Zhentian Demon King who rushed forward to retreat. Zhou Chen then headed towards the city, and the city lord also forced himself to rush over.

At this time Zhennantian brought Qinglong to the Demon-Suppressing Cave. Seeing the scene in front of him, Qinglong was shocked and speechless, "What is going on? How can there be such a powerful demonic energy?"
"It's a pity. I didn't expect that he would be let out anyway."

"What, sir, what do you mean by this? Who came out?"
"Magic Emperor".

At this time, Elder Eagle was laughing wildly as he felt the demonic energy rising up around him. He naturally felt the breath of Zhen Nantian, but so what? His goal had been achieved now and they were too late.

At this time Zhou Chen and the city lord rushed over. When they saw the demonic energy in front of them up close, they were shocked, "Such a powerful demonic energy."

At this moment in the Demon-Suppressing Cave, at the moment the barrier was broken, a powerful suction force came from the depths of the Demon-Suppressing Cave, sucking away their demonic energy along with their flesh and blood. In an instant, their originally huge bodies immediately shriveled up.

Zhou Chen came to Zhen Nantian and asked, "Sir, what's going on? How could such a powerful demonic energy appear in the Demon Suppression Bureau?"

At this time, the Demon King Zhentian also rushed over. He had no intention of taking action and just watched everything in front of him.

After hearing Zhen Nantian’s explanation, Zhou Chen was shocked and said, “Then what should we do now? Once he comes out, the entire Wu’an County will be finished.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the demonic energy that was rising into the sky quickly dissipated, and then an old voice was heard from the cave.

"Haha, after a thousand years, I finally got out."

The moment he came out, Elder Eagle knelt down immediately. At the same time, White Tiger, Black Tortoise and Demon King Zhentian also knelt down.

"Your subordinates have been ordered to welcome the return of the Demon Emperor."

At this time, a white-haired old man slowly walked out of the cave and asked, "Who is in charge of the demon world now?"
"The Demon Emperor is Demon Lord Qiu Ye."

"Oh, which little guy is it?" He then looked at Zhou Chen and the others who were not far behind Elder Eagle, "Hmph, the Demon Suppression Division." In an instant, a huge pressure burst out, and Zhou Chen and the others half-knelt on the ground. Even Zhou Chen, who had the blessing of the demon pattern, knelt down.

"Damn you, so competitive."

Zhen Nantian gritted his teeth, turned around and knelt in one direction, "Your humble servant Zhen Nantian respectfully invites Your Majesty to descend upon His divine power."

As soon as he finished speaking, an even more powerful force fell from the air, and the pressure on Zhou Chen and the others disappeared instantly.

The Demon King also felt a huge threat, and saw a golden humanoid shadow a hundred feet tall appear in front of Zhen Nantian.

Seeing this, Zhen Nantian bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, your subordinate Zhen Nantian welcomes you." Zhou Chen and others lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the golden shadow.

The golden shadow didn't say a word, just nodded lightly. It was this sound that directly caused the Demon Emperor to retreat dozens of steps.

As for Elder Eagle and his men, they were fine. It wasn't because they were so strong, but because His Majesty the Emperor simply didn't bother to attack them. After the Demon Emperor stabilized his body, he angrily said, "Emperor Xia, you are despicable. If you have the guts, let me recuperate for a few years. Then I will definitely fight you to the death."

"Humph, you still want to recuperate? Do you still want to use the flesh and blood of my human race to recover from your injuries?" As soon as these words came out, Emperor Xia slapped him with his palm.

As Emperor Xia slapped down with his giant palm, the Demon Emperor was killed on the spot. The moment he died, Emperor Xia's huge figure also disappeared.

After Emperor Xia left, the tremendous pressure also disappeared. At this moment, Elder Eagle immediately took the lead in escaping from the Demon Suppression Division, followed closely by Demon King Zhentian. However, Baihu and Xuanwu were not strong enough to tear through the void and escape.

They had to stand up and step into the air to escape. Seeing this, Zhou Chen and Qinglong directly took action to stop the two of them. They could not stop Elder Eagle and Demon King Zhentian in time, but it was still easy to stop the two of them.

With two thuds, the two men fell directly from the air and landed directly at Zhen Nantian's feet. Zhen Nantian looked at them with cold eyes. At this time, Zhou Chen and the other man fell from the air and stood behind Zhen Nantian.

At this moment, bursts of demonic energy began to surge out of the two of them. Seeing this, Zhen Nantian turned his head and gave Zhou Chen a look. Zhou Chen understood and the Yin-Yang Mirror appeared in his hand. The moment he injected his power, a suction force surged out, and before the two of them could react, they were sucked into the Yin-Yang Mirror.

Then Zhou Chen handed the Yin-Yang Mirror directly to Zhen Nantian. Zhen Nantian took the Yin-Yang Mirror and waved his hand. Two figures appeared on the mirror. At this time, the two looked at the huge figure of Zhen Nantian in front of them with expressions of fear. The moment they were put into the Yin-Yang Mirror, the evil energy in their bodies had been dispersed by the Yin-Yang Mirror.

Now the two have regained their sanity. Zhen Nantian looked at the two people in the mirror and said, "You two are not steadfast in your character, which allowed demons to take advantage of the situation and sneak in, causing huge losses to the Demon Suppression Bureau. Now I punish you two to be confined in solitary confinement for half a year. Stay there well." Then he returned the Yin-Yang Mirror to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen took the Yin-Yang Mirror and bowed, saying, "My lord, that demon and the Demon King Zhentian will definitely not give up, and will definitely come back in the future."

Both of them are at the third level in strength, so it is not easy to catch them.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed. During these three months, Wu'an County had returned to normal, and the villages that were occupied by the monsters had gradually returned to the hands of the human race.

The Demon King Zhentian and Elder Eagle disappeared for a while, and the people thought that the matter was over. Those who lived in the city or in the homes of their relatives and friends returned to their homes. After all, the city was not their home, and now that the matter had been temporarily resolved, if they stayed any longer, they would not have enough money in their pockets.

There were subsidies for official uniforms before, but now the subsidies are gone. They cannot afford the huge expenses. Moreover, before they go back, the Demon Suppression Division has already sent people to investigate in advance, and will only let the people go back after confirming that there is no danger.

In addition, the people who return will receive an official uniform and one or two taels of silver as a reward, which is a considerable sum of money for ordinary people.

Finally, before the New Year, all the people returned to their homes.

Even so, the Demon Suppression Bureau's mission was not completed. They still had to send out Demon Suppression Guards to guard each village. After all, there were many monsters living in the villages before, and it was inevitable that there were monsters hiding in the dark.

As the deputy commander, Zhou Chen naturally had a lot of things to do during this period, but he still took advantage of the New Year to arrange everything.

On New Year's Eve, Zhou Chen returned home early. As soon as he came back, he smelled the aroma of meat. At this time, Leng Ningshuang came out of the kitchen.

Brother Zhou, you're back. Wash your hands first. The dumplings and meat will be ready soon. After washing his hands, Zhou Chen sat on the chair and asked, "It's New Year's Eve, why don't you go back to accompany your father?"
After spending some time together, Zhou Chen also realized that Leng Ningshuang was Qinglong's daughter. "My dad is too busy to go home all day. If I go back, I'll still be alone at home. It's better for me to stay here."
