The black dog seemed like a malevolent spirit. It bared its pearly white teeth at the Holy Maiden as if trying to provoke her.

The dog and Holy Maiden stared at each other for a few seconds. The participating demons were still kneeling and humbly requesting that she take action. Their voices came in waves, one after the other.

For a mere war pet to provoke her like this was infuriating.

She glared at the back dog, but the dog didnt show the slightest sign of weakness. In fact, it glared right back.

What are you looking at?

Ill show you a thing or too!

It was as if they were communicating with their eyes.

That dog is just too adorable! Dai Xiaoyu of the Appearance Association couldnt help but chime in. Although the dog wasnt a cute little lap dog, the way it bit that Divine Demon General to death, then met the Holy Maidens glare head-on, was enough to touch the girls hearts.

It dares bark so brazenly at the demons Holy Maiden. That dog sure didnt live in vain. Jiang Yong couldnt help but praise it.

The atmosphere in the arena changed somewhat.

The demons were still kneeling and begging the Holy Maiden, while the gods and yao were eagerly waiting for her to put on a show. They watched the dog and maiden glare at each other.

All this excitement almost seemed to make them forget about Ye Zichens Yao-Sealing Pagoda and Xuan-Yuan Sword.

That dog. The Holy Maidens spirits sank. She couldnt see even the slightest trace of fear in the dogs gaze.

Remember, she was a Holy Maiden, the reincarnation of a Demon Goddess.

Even if she didnt deliberately unleash her aura and bear down on others, just seeing her felt oppressive; others couldnt help but fear and respect her.

And yet, this dog didnt seem to fear her in the slightest, much less respect her, but it was just someones pet!

No, it wasnt just that it wasnt in awe of her. After a brief staring contest, the dog seemed to lose interest in her. It looked away, wagged its tail, and ran in circles around Kui Hans corpse. From time to time, it looked into the demons ranks and bared its teeth.

What exactly is up with that dog?

Does anyone know where it came from?

Isnt it here to save that guy the Holy Maiden said has the Xuan-Yuan Sword and Yao-Sealing Pagoda?

Could that dog be one of the Yao-Sealing Pagodas yao servants? I heard that when the Five Elements Great Emperor filled the pagoda, one of the yao he snatched up provoked even the Yao Emperor into fighting against him. It couldnt have been that black dog, right?

The yao and humans chatted eagerly amongst themselves as they tried to get a handle on that dog.

The dog had just appeared far too suddenly, only to rescue Ye Zichen. Furthermore, it seemed to carry a sense of enmity for the entire demon race.

They didnt know the dogs true identity, so their best guess was that it was a yao servant from the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.

This false rumor spread throughout the crowd. Before long, the gods and yao were absolutely certain that the black dog originated from the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.

The demons, meanwhile, were still bitterly pleading with the Holy Maiden. They were eagerly anticipating her striking at and seizing that dogs life.

Little did they know, although the Holy Maiden wanted to attack, for some reason, she felt a vague sense of terror just looking at the dog. She didnt dare show any overly obvious signs of enmity.

Also, she wasnt actually all that angry about Mo Kes death.

No, what really made her angry was the way her higher-ups had tricked her. The only reason she wanted to attack was that she was the demons Holy Maiden, and Divine Demon Generals represented the dignity of her entire race. Pissing on a generals head was an insult to her entire species.

Holy Maiden!

Theres no need for our Holy Maiden to sully her hands killing a mere beast. Cold, arrogant laughter drifted down from above. When the crowd looked up, they saw that the northern sky had been dyed purple.

Purple smog rapidly encroached upon them. In just a few breaths of time, the smog blotted out the skys white clouds. The new, purple smoke bore down on the crowd, so oppressive they could barely breathe.

Purple clouds blotted out the sun, and a middle-aged man with long horns stood at their summit. His shoulders were bare, and he wore clothes made of beast skins. Black stripes lined his thick arms.

He looked down on the world below. Nevermind the participating young talents; even the staff, who were all diviners at least, felt utterly stifled.

Thats. The god race rulers, who were entangled with both demons and yao at the moment, looked up at the man surrounded in purple smoke. He was so strong, even they felt somewhat suffocated.

They were ruler-level experts! Although they had no formal titles, they were undoubtedly above Divine Generals. Emperors aside, only Demon Gods and certain Yao Kings could put so much pressure on them.

This time, its a Demon God! Everyone soon determined this new arrivals identity. Their pupils constricted violently.

Any Demon God was undoubtedly under the god races surveillance. How could one possibly appear here so lightly?

But no matter how startled they were, the Demon God had already arrived.

With an expert on this level in the mix, the lesser rulers no longer needed to clash. All of them, regardless of whether they were human, yao, or demon, stopped right away. They didnt even need to discuss the matter first.

The demon rulers all rushed to the mans side, put their hands over their chest, and knelt. Greetings, Demon God!

The other demons eyes filled with reverence. They knelt, and. Greetings, Demon God!

Voices filled the air, shaking even the god and yao experts. At the same time, the god race rulers arrived in the arena and gathered around Ye Zichen. They used their divine transmissions to send messages to all the god race elites as well as the arenas staff, telling them to gather around.

The yao rulers gathered as well. In an instant, the three races divided into three distinct camps.

Hurry and ask for help from the God Emperors estate! A few of the staff were rulers, but the appearance of a Demon God meant that they could no longer control this situation. Also, Ye Zichen, the bearer of the Xuan-Yuan Sword and Yao-Sealing Pagoda was here. They didnt care if Ye Zichen lived or died, but they had to hold onto both divine artifacts. They couldnt let them wind up in the hands of other races no matter what.

The God Emperor is in seclusion, said Liu Wei, the same staff member whod gone looking for him earlier.

If hes in seclusion, forget it. Go find Lady Providence of the Emperor of the Xiao Family. The situation has changed dramatically. Its no longer a conflict between the demons and yao, but rather, theyre both targeting us. The god race diviners expression was utterly grave. We need an Emperor-level figure to make an appearance. Otherwise, we have no way of stopping them.

From the rulers solemn tone, the diviners sensed how serious this problem truly was.

Liu Wei was just about to go notify another Emperor when the sky above Divine Martial Academy filled with rosy light. The glow bore down on the Demon God, suppressing him.

You want to go, you pathetic loser?"
