Chapter 2522

……

After leaving the Demon Court, Feilian and Jimeng immediately released Nüwa and Fuxi's hands, instructing Nüwa and Fuxi to walk ahead.

They claimed to be escorting the two back to Nüwa Palace—and that was exactly what they were doing.

Nüwa Palace was very, very far from the Demon Court; the two would need two or three days for a round trip, but Feilian and Jimeng did not mind these details.

Fuxi sighed and said, "Feidan has changed so much—it's beyond my expectations. He wasn't like this before; he used to smile a lot."

"People change, let alone demons?" Nüwa said.

He was thinking of the Yan and Huang Emperors, wondering where they had taken the remaining humans.

As long as Nüwa returned to Nüwa Palace, he would aid the Yan and Huang Emperors—just not the Witch Clan. Helping the Yan and Huang Emperors, helping humanity, was Nüwa's duty.

Feilian realized this, but he did not warn Donghuang Taiyi, because the Yan and Huang Emperors were already cooperating with Jiufeng.

Nüwa aiding humanity was effectively aiding the Witch Clan; Feilian could not bear to watch, so he said nothing, waiting to see how far they would tear each other apart.

"Thank you both."

"You may return now."

After returning to Nüwa Palace, Nüwa said nothing and immediately drove Feilian and Jimeng away, pulling out all the demon clan spies stationed at the Demon Court.

"These people, Jiemeng—you bring them all back. If I find any demon clan members in Nüwa Palace ever again, I will show no mercy," Nüwa said fiercely.

Jiemeng nodded; Nüwa and Fuxi had indeed changed.

It was only natural—the demon clan had driven them so hard. If they hadn't changed, they might never have escaped, forever subject to the exploitation of the Demon Emperor.

Now that Nüwa had attained the Dao and become a Saint, possessing Nüwa Palace, it was their sanctuary; they could go anywhere they wished, with no restrictions.

Thinking of this, Jiemeng and Feilian felt a pang of envy.

Yet, as they were maintained by the Demon Court and protected by the Demon Emperor, the Ten Demon Saints must find ways to defend the Demon Court and protect Bombarding Lingshan.

No matter how much they envied it, they could only silently wish for it in their hearts—never act on it.
