Chang Pu looked at the bloody lizard in disgust, but… hunger won over.

He silently reached out for the lizard and swallowed it with eyes closed.

As a “noble demon”, having to resort to eating lizards was truly…

Chang Pu swore, he would let no one else know of this.

As miserable as Chang Pu was, one glaring fact remained. And that was… he was still hungry.

Chang Pu looked at Ji Fengyan with conflicting feelings.

Ji Fengyan was very familiar with that expression. It reminded her of her three foolish sons.

Without a need for him say anything else, Ji Fengyan swept her heavy sword across the ground and came up with a bunch of dead insects for Chang Pu.

Even though Chang Pu could eat his own kind, that mess of bug innards was unpalatable.

“What exactly are you planning to do? You can’t kill me and you won’t let me go.” Chang Pu tried to pick up another conversation topic to distract himself.

Ji Fengyan raised her brows at Chang Pu. “If I kill you, the people in the Plain of Corpses will perish. If I let you go, I will die. So just stay here and behave yourself.”

“You will die? You can fly so fast. Even if I wanted revenge, it would be impossible to keep you?” Chang Pu laughed coldly. As much as he wished to tear Ji Fengyan to bits, he acknowledged that he was totally incapable of that at this point.

“I am curious. You are a Terminator but have never used the World-Termination-Armour during a battle. Why is that so?”

“Do you think I will discuss something like this with a demon?” Ji Fengyan rolled her eyes at Chang Pu.

Chang Pu stewed in angry silence.

As time ticked by, Ji Fengyan finally decided. But before she could execute her plan, she needed to make some preparations.

On the other side, Linghe and the rest had already led the exhausted Ping City citizens back to the camp of the three-army alliance.

The sentries stared dumbfounded at the large congregation of citizens. Luckily, one of the Blaze Army soldiers recognized Lu Shaoqing and hurriedly rushed into the camp to relay the news.

After a short while, Zhan Fei rushed out. The sight of those injured Wolf Smoke Regiment soldiers and the tens of thousands of citizens momentarily stunned him.

“What’s happening? You were supposed to go investigate—why have you brought so many people back?” Zhan Fei frowned as he surveyed the crowd. But he failed to spot Ji Fengyan.

Lu Shaoqing was completely exhausted, but he forced out an answer. “There was a situation at Ping City. City Lord Song Yuan was colluding with the demons and controlled the entire city. We only managed to escape under General Ji’s lead. These citizens are refugees from Ping City. Would Lord Zhan please let them settle down here before sending reinforcement to save General Ji?”

“What? Song Yuan colluded with the demons?” Zhan Fei’s eyes widened. He could never have imagined something like that happening. He spared no time in asking Lu Shaoqing the details and was incredulous upon learning that Ji Fengyan had left with the demon’s leader to draw away the enemy masses.

Zhan Fei cast a sweeping glance across the trembling citizens. After a moment of silence, he said, “We cannot allow them to enter the army camp.”

Those bone-tired citizens had thought they could finally get some rest after arriving at the camp. They never expected for Zhan Fei to reject them.
