After Hong Qi's repeated persuasion, Yin Yue Demon Venerate finally set off. After contacting the State Preceptor, Yin Yue Demon Venerate went with the utmost sincerity to visit that group of creatures in the Elder Council.

The Demon Clan Elders' Council currently has five living members, and these five Elders are all traditionalists.

Previously, they were indeed firmly committed to the hierarchy that the Demon Emperor is the legitimate leader of the Demon Clan.

But this time, Yin Yue Demon Venerate was full of sincerity, speaking humbly, which moved some of the Elders.

Especially now, with the Demon Clan having no suitable heir to the throne and facing invasion from foreign clans, this caused some Elders to change their steadfast principles.

One of the Thunder Supreme was convinced by Yin Yue Demon Venerate and decided to step out to deal with Qin Tian.

Yin Yue Demon Venerate was overjoyed, held a grand welcome ceremony, and received the Thunder Supreme.

...

"Ow-ow..."

"Ow-ow..."

In the dense forest of the Demon Clan's West, Atai was jumping around Qin Tian, looking very excited.

At this moment, Atai was about a year old. After more than a year's growth, Atai's body had grown into the size of a fierce tiger, and it appeared that it would continue to grow, with no end in sight.

Looking at Atai's fiery red fur all over, Qin Tian felt gratified.

During this year, he hadn't taken much care of Atai. This guy had always been by Du Qiuniang and Fan Bing's side, feeling closer to Du Qiuniang and Fan Bing.

"Master, this Atai is getting more and more mischievous. When at home, it sometimes caused chaos, and even the neighboring spiritual pet beasts were scared when they saw him every day because of his harassment."

Watching Atai run wild in nature, Du Qiuniang smiled beside Qin Tian.

"Earlier, Sister Bing said this guy is too perverted, just like you."

Qin Tian: "Cough, cough... Sister Bing must be joking, right? I'm perverted...?"

Du Qiuniang covered her mouth with another laugh and said, "I don't know if the Master is perverted, haha, but Atai is really perverted."

"When we were bathing, this guy tried to peek several times but got caught by us. Haha, in the end, Sister Bing got mad, and from then on, every time we bathed, we locked Atai up first..."

Qin Tian listened, feeling a subtle green light flash across his head, speechless and said, "Looks like this guy hasn't been beaten for a long time. You guys keep an eye on him for me from now on."

After speaking, Qin Tian whistled, and from the distant mountains and forests came violent vibrations. Soon, a fiery red shadow came before Qin Tian.

Atai wagged its tail at Qin Tian, rubbing its head against his leg, looking like a giant pet.

"Atai, stand up straight!" Qin Tian scolded Atai.

Atai froze.

"If you don't stand up straight, I'll send you back, no outings for you."

"Ow-ow..."

Upon hearing Qin Tian's words, Atai immediately stood upright, looking innocently at Qin Tian, like a child who has been wronged.

"Little guy, listen up, you can't touch Sister Fan Bing, Sister Du Qiuniang, Sister Qiao Wenxuan. And no peeking when they're bathing, got it?"

"Ow-ow..."

Atai seemed confused by what Qin Tian was saying, looking at him blankly.

"Don't understand what I'm saying, right? Don't understand, and I'll castrate you! Believe it?"

"Ow-ow!"

Atai jumped in fright, nodding quickly, looking pitifully at Qin Tian, appearing both wronged and downtrodden.

"Hahaha, Boss, it's the first time I see you being so serious with a dog." Lin Yu passed by, saw Qin Tian sternly lecturing Atai like a parent, and couldn't stop laughing.

"You guys stop laughing and quickly get on the road, I'll catch up later. Today, I need to educate this guy properly! Damn, usually causing trouble with little bitches and little pigs is one thing, but wanting to take advantage of my women? Do you believe I'll cook you up and eat you?!"

After Qin Tian finished, Atai sulked, lying on the ground, curling up into a ball.

Lin Yu and the others laughed again, then they led the troops to continue forward.

Du Qiuniang also got on a flying beast and headed west, leaving Qin Tian behind to give Atai a political lesson.

"Kid, okay, you still have a temper? No meals for you today!"

Qin Tian continued punishing Atai. Atai howled but dared not oppose Qin Tian.

Whoosh whoosh.

Qin Tian glared at Atai, only to see the guy suddenly stand up.

Qin Tian paused: "What? Want to rebel?"

Thud thud thud!

Suddenly, Atai darted away.

"Crap, you're trying to run? Run, and don't come back!"

Watching Atai sprint off to the distance, Qin Tian was utterly perplexed, dumbfounded that this guy actually had a temper.

Boom boom boom!

However, just as Qin Tian was stunned, Atai ran to a distant spot, where several streams of True Qi shot skyward.

"Are there assassins?"

Qin Tian furrowed his brows, expanding his Divine Sense, instantly sensing several dozen unusual True Qi streams a kilometer away!

Turns out Atai went to attack those people!

Immediately, Qin Tian soared into the sky, sprinting directly toward Atai's location!

As Qin Tian flew into the air and looked down, he was stunned—

Several kilometers away, there were hundreds of black-clothed men!

These people were restraining their aura as if approaching the tail end of Qin Tian's troops!

"These people are strong, could they not have come to assassinate me?"

Qin Tian believed that these assassins were highly skilled, definitely well-prepared.

Yet, these people should have had Qin Tian's intel, surprisingly not surrounding Qin Tian's position.

"Damn, could their target be... Fei'er!?"

After pausing for a moment, Qin Tian finally realized and immediately activated True Qi, shouting loudly: "There are assassins!"

The True Qi spread through the sky, and the group who had walked several kilometers heard the sound and immediately began to guard themselves.

Meanwhile, Atai had already charged into the assassins, bouncing around in the True Qi, causing chaos among those guys!

"Boss, are you okay?"

Seconds later, Duan Xiaodao and Zhao Lanjin flew over, concerned for Qin Tian's safety.

Qin Tian waved his hand and said, "They're after Fei'er. Protect Fei'er! Don't let a single one escape!"

"Got it!"

Duan Xiaodao took the order and immediately led the Qin Family army, along with a five-thousand-man force, enclosing the assassins as they approached Liu Fei'er!

Qin Tian and Zhao Lanjin returned to Liu Fei'er's side, where she was startled too, watching the encircled assassins from afar, murmuring:

"These people should be Demon Clan Forbidden Army experts!"
