"Hmm, it does not sound right. When you were stranded in the Devil Kingdom, your Kung Fu was not as powerful. It would have been easy for him to finish you off back then. Why would he make such an elaborate plan just to defeat you?"

Di Fuyi looked troubled after listening to Gu Xijiu"s comment. He, too, could not figure out why. Nevertheless, the Star Formation was his first priority, so he needed to solve it first. With his Kung Fu, it would not be difficult for him to eradicate the array. As for the general public, they finally had the chance to witness how a Star Formation actually looked like and was shocked by the howling spirits that were struggling in agony.

Fortunately, the purification of resentful spirits was nothing difficult for Di Fuyi. After a series of expiations, all of the angry spirits were finally freed from their deeply rooted grudge and disappeared from the mortal world. The Star Formation had lost its wickedness and returned to its basic form.

As soon as the Star Formation recalibrated, the dark clouds faded, giving way to warm suns.h.i.+ne. The cheering crowd shouted for joy as if it were a grand celebration. Everything that happened in Luo Hua City spread across the Shura World like wildfire, giving the people in every other city a new sense of hope.

They rushed to their own administrative centers respectively and demanded the exposure of the Star Formations. As soon as the governor surrendered, they waited patiently for Di Fuyi"s arrival to release the spirits.

…

"Is this the same Devil King?" Wan Hongxiu was quite troubled.

"How is he not the same? Little Hong, what do you mean?" Feng Ruhuo was not pleased by the question.

"I can see that the Devil King"s Kung Fu has greatly improved. He seems a little different, as well. More importantly, he is helping the mortals rebuild their cities and has become their savior. They are even addressing him as their Lord. It seems like a strange way to address him since he is not trying to be their ruler and is not one of them."

"So what if he wants to rule the place? In fact, the devil clan is quite similar to them. We are only different in the ways we practice. There is no need to fight endlessly with them. A long, long time ago, the devil clan and the cultivators used to live together peacefully. It was only when the man in black showed up and drove a wedge between us that things started to change. He was the one who initiated the disaster but blamed it on the devil clan. That spark the feud between us," the Second Guardian, Shui Junzhou, shared his knowledge with them. He was the oldest among them and also the most knowledgeable.

"It is true. The devil clan and the mortals are not very different from one another. I used to walk the land with Meimei, freely and casually. The dazzling human world used to be filled with a myriad of temptations and beautiful landscapes, unlike now, where everything is barren and unruly," Tian Xiuxiu added and sighed.

"I like how the mortal world used to be," Tian Meimei agreed with the statement.

"Perhaps the Devil King is trying to return everything to its original state. After all, the human world is part of the Shura World. We should keep our prejudices behind and work together with our Devil King!" Feng Ruhuo seemed very motivated.

"Definitely! We all have to work together with the Devil King. All right, we should stop the discussion now. Wan Xiuhong, the Devil King has instructed us to search for the black bamboo man, but he clearly is hiding from us. We have not found a single bamboo leaf all day long. Where is he?" Tian Xiuxiu frowned.

"Find him!" Shui Junzhou ordered in a straightforward manner. "Tell every spy in the Devil Kingdom to find him!"

"Actually, I am more concerned about the Devil King. All of the guardians are not with him; even Leader Kun has been sent away for a mission. What if the black bamboo man ambushes him?"

"Do you think that the great Devil King should be worried about an ambush? Even if we were around when the bamboo man showed up, do you really think that we could stop him?"
