Jing Gu and Jinghe, the mother and daughter, took the magic train to the Sun-Moon Empire. It was already around 9 pm when they arrived, so they decided to find a hotel to rest.

"Mom, what should we do if we can't find Suiliangfeng that Huangming spoke of in the Sun-Moon Empire?" Jinghe expressed her concerns. She was afraid of not being able to fulfill Huangming's request.

Jing Gu gently touched Jinghe's hair and smiled tenderly, "It's okay, we'll keep looking. If we can't find it in the Sun-Moon Empire, we can disguise ourselves as bloodsuckers and go to the Crimson Empire, then to the Orc Empire. Even if we search the ends of the earth, we'll find Suiliangfeng."

"Okay." Jinghe obediently nodded.

Jing Gu smiled and said, "Let's go to bed."

"Okay! Goodnight, Mom!" Jinghe hugged Jing Gu's arm and sweetly closed her eyes to sleep.

Then, Jing Gu embraced Jinghe and they lay down together to rest.

Without Huangming's help, the two of them might have been beaten because they couldn't afford the protection fee. Even if they weren't beaten to death, they would have eventually starved to death on the streets.

Huangming's arrival gave them hope and allowed them to continue living. Although Huangming had passed away, Jing Gu and Jinghe were determined to fulfill his will and fulfill their duties as demons of fire.

The next morning, Jinghe and Jing Gu woke up early.

After a simple breakfast in their room, the mother and daughter left the hotel and started asking people, "Do you know someone named Suiliangfeng?"

Upon hearing their question, the passersby shook their heads and said, "Never heard of him."

Disappointment flashed in Jinghe's eyes, and she continued to ask others, "Have you heard of Suiliangfeng?"

"No, no." The others shook their heads, indicating that they had never heard of him.

Seeing this, Jinghe's disappointment grew, but she continued to ask others, only to receive the same answer.

"Well, the world is so big and there are so many people, it's difficult to find one person." Jing Gu comforted her daughter, "Let's visit the town ahead, maybe we'll find some news about Suiliangfeng there."

"Okay!" Jinghe's disappointment disappeared from her face, replaced with a lively and energetic look when she heard her mom's words.

Then, hand in hand, the mother and daughter set off.

At this moment, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood at the street corner. He was dressed in a black suit and wore a black top hat, giving off an elegant impression.

His gaze was constantly fixed on Jinghe and her mother, filled with a disrespectful intent, but then he hid it and muttered to himself, "The taste of a mother and daughter would be delicious."

After saying that, he took a shortcut and appeared in the town where Jinghe and her mother were heading.

The middle-aged man pretended to be nonchalant, but in reality, his attention was focused on Jinghe and her mother.

He deliberately bumped into Jinghe, then quickly helped her up and apologized, "I'm sorry, little girl, I didn't mean to, are you hurt?"

"It's okay, Uncle." Jinghe quickly waved her hand.

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."

"I just heard that you are looking for someone named Suiliangfeng, right?" The middle-aged man suddenly asked.

"Do you know where Suiliangfeng is?" Jinghe eagerly asked, a sense of joy rising within her. "Tell me quickly, where is he?"

"Follow me." The middle-aged man said, leading Jinghe and her mother towards the front.

Jing Gu held her daughter's hand tightly and constantly drew circles in her palm, signaling Jinghe to be cautious.

During this time, she observed the middle-aged man's demeanor and noticed that he didn't seem hostile. He was elegant in his mannerisms and spoke very politely.

The middle-aged man didn't notice Jing Gu's small movements. He led the mother and daughter to an alley.

He pointed to the small house in front of them. "That is where Sui Liangfeng lives."

At that moment, a big yellow dog stuck its head out and realized that it wasn't the human who usually fed it, so it quickly retreated back into the house.

"You lied to me!" Jinghe's face darkened as she coldly interrogated.

The house was clearly a little nest built by a caring child for a dog. How could a demon like Sui Liangfeng live in such a place?

"How could I deceive a little girl like you?" The middle-aged man quickly explained, a smile on his face, as if to say, "See, I did not lie to you."

"Let me introduce myself, I am Bolang." With these words, Bolang took off his mask, named "elegant," revealing a lewd expression. He said, "Who should I start with? The mother or the daughter? It's quite a dilemma."

Jing Gu stood in front of Jinghe and said coldly, "What exactly do you want?"

"What do I want? It's obvious, isn't it? Since you're so eager, let me start with you!" Bolang licked his lips with his tongue, a nauseating smile on his face.

Jinghe wasn't afraid. She wasn't the weak little girl she used to be. The fledgling had grown up, and she had learned how to protect herself and her family.

She took a step forward, pulling her mother behind her, and warned Bolang in a cold voice, "You better not mess around, or I will kill you."

"Oh?" Bolang raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm curious to know how a little girl like you would kill me."

With that, Bolang revealed a hideous face and suddenly reached out with his right hand, grabbing at Jinghe's chest, his eyes gleaming with a filthy light.

"I haven't tasted a tender little girl like you before. You must be delicious! Hahaha!"

Just as Bolang's claw was about to catch Jinghe's chest, a burst of intense flames erupted from her.

"Ah!" Bolang screamed in agony, retracting his hand, a look of anger on his face.

A large sword appeared in Jinghe's hand, with a red blade that radiated a fiery glow and emitted a scorching heat. The blade's sides were silver, and the long handle was jet black, embedded with three red crystals that shimmered with a dazzling light. There was also a black semicircle on the hilt, serving as protection for the user's hand.

If the sword stood vertically on the ground, it would be half a head taller than Jinghe.

At this moment, the sword exuded a fierce aura, and the patterns on the blade became more intricate, as if it had a life of its own.

When Bolang saw the weapon in Jinghe's hand, the anger on his face instantly disappeared. "Today is unexpectedly lucky! Not only do I get to enjoy a mother and daughter combo, but I also get to obtain an extraordinary sword."

Bolang spoke as water elements quickly gathered and formed into a long staff. He held the staff horizontally in his hand and ruthlessly swung it towards Jinghe's head, while whistling, "Little girl, the big sword is not suitable for you, Uncle's big staff is just right for you."

Jinghe remained calm and swung the Dust Ash Sword in her hand to meet the attack.

"Bang!"

The sword and staff collided, producing a muffled sound.

"Little girl, put in a bit more effort, let Uncle have some fun." Bolang's mouth opened and closed while he spoke, whistling.

"This is the Demon Flames. I will carry on Huangming's will as a torch. I will use his flames to illuminate this land and make the world a better place." Jinghe's eyes were incredibly determined.

Suddenly, a layer of red flames ignited on the sword, as if responding to Jinghe's conviction. The temperature of the flames rapidly increased, reaching an extreme level in the blink of an eye.

The high temperature of the flames distorted the air, causing it to boil violently and emit crackling sounds.

Bolang felt that even breathing was becoming increasingly difficult. Sweats dripped from his forehead, and his eyes widened.

He hadn't imagined that this little girl could unleash such intense flames. He quickly activated his elemental power to resist the pressure from the flames.

Then, the water element staff in Bolang's hand was instantly evaporated, and the flames from the Dust Ash Sword enveloped his body.

"Ah! Ah!" Blonlet out a piercing scream.

He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the engulfing flames, but it was in vain.

In an instant, the flames soared into the sky, thick smoke billowing, obscuring the sun, making it difficult to see.

The big yellow dog looked at the raging fire in front of it in horror, too afraid to approach, it could only cower in place, trembling.

The flames consumed Blon completely, leaving only a heap of charred remains, but the flames showed no signs of extinguishing, even grew more vigorous, as if wanting to burn everything in the world.

"Quick, put out the fire!" Jing Gu shouted urgently.

"I... I don't know how... Mom, let's run, or we'll be caught by the inspection office," Jinghe said, feeling helpless.

Without hesitation, Jing Gu grabbed her daughter's hand and ran forward, trying to escape before the inspection team arrived.

The big yellow dog followed immediately. It knew that the fire was caused by the humans in front of it, and only by staying with them could it save its own life.

At the same time, Qizhou sensed Huangming's aura and flew towards it.

The personnel from the inspection office arrived, and upon seeing the scene before them, they were momentarily stunned.

"Put out the fire quickly!" the inspector shouted, and a water mage cast a water wall spell, trying to extinguish the flames.

However, these water walls had no effect at all. The flames seemed like they would never be extinguished, continuing to burn.

"What should we do, Inspector? Should we report it?" a cautious water mage asked.

"What are you waiting for? Go and report it right away!" the inspector urged.

Then, the water mages cast water screens to cover the raging fire, preventing the flames from spreading further to avoid unnecessary casualties.

At this moment, a big yellow dog crawled out of the flames.

"Woof!"

The big yellow dog panted heavily, looking disheveled and exhausted.

Seeing this, the inspector immediately used water magic to cool down the dog. After all, it was also a little life.

The big yellow dog wagged its tail, expressing its gratitude.

At the same time, Jing Gu and Jinghe, mother and daughter, ran out of the sea of fire. Their clothes were tattered, and they looked extremely miserable.

Upon seeing this, the inspector and deputy inspector immediately took off their clothes and draped them over the mother and daughter, asking with concern, "Are you injured?"

"We're fine," Jing Gu replied.

Jinghe was still a little nervous. The fire was caused by her, and now there were the inspection team members in front of her. Her heart was pounding.

At this moment, Qizhou descended from the sky. He looked at the scene before him and could confirm that it was Huangming's flame.

"Your Majesty," the inspector and deputy inspector saluted Qizhou respectfully.

"No need for formalities, control the fire," Qizhou waved his hand.

"Yes."

Qizhou looked at the sea of flames before him, his eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes filled with deep concern. He shifted his gaze to Jing Gu and Jinghe, mother and daughter, and tentatively asked, "Huangming?"

Jinghe's expression showed a slight reaction, but then disappeared. Qizhou saw this scene and was already certain in his heart that this little girl was Huangming. As for why Huangming reincarnated as a little girl, that would require careful consideration.

"Retreat, all personnel from the inspection office. I will handle it here," Qizhou ordered.

"Yes."

The inspector and deputy inspector then withdrew the water screens and left the scene.

Then, Qizhou began to activate the power of the sequences within him, firmly controlling the fire.

"Reach out your hand and imagine this fire as a part of your body, then bring it back," Qizhou said to Jinghe calmly and seriously.

"I... I don't know how," Jinghe said nervously.

"You can do it, it's a part of your body."

Hearing Qizhou's words, Jinghe reached out her right hand, imagining the fire as a part of her own body.

At that moment, the flames suddenly stopped and slowly merged into Jinghe's palm, as if the disaster that had just occurred had never happened.

Why wouldn't Huangming collect the flame? This confusion lingered in Qizhou's mind.

"That...that flame was set by me...can we please not go to jail again...I still need to find someone..." Jinghe said timidly to Qizhou.

Ten ghost soldiers appeared beside Qizhou, running into the alley to search for the injured.

"Do you know me?" Qizhou asked Jinghe.

"No, I don't know you. I haven't seen you before," Jinghe answered honestly.

"I am the demon of death, Qizhou," Qizhou said.

Upon hearing this, Jinghe quickly shielded his mother behind him, the Ashen Sword appearing in his hand. He looked at Qizhou warily.

"Huangming, what are you doing? Why are you pointing your sword at your comrade?" Qizhou asked, puzzled by Huangming's sudden actions. According to Huangming's character, this was something that would never happen.

"I am not Huangming, Huangming is dead. I can only trust Sui Liangfeng, whom Huangming called the Emperor," Jinghe's Ashen Sword began to burn with flames, the blade pointing at Qizhou, ready to attack at any moment.

"Huangming is dead? Was he killed by his comrade?" Qizhou's expression was slightly astonished. He never imagined that Huangming would die! Which demon possessed the ability to kill Huangming?

"What is the name of the demon that killed Huangming?" Qizhou asked, wanting to find out.

"He is called Poqi," Jinghe answered.

"I see," Qizhou clenched his fist unconsciously. "But let me tell you something, Sui Liangfeng has not been reincarnated yet, so you won't find him. The fate of the Emperor is unknown, and I don't know where she is either." Qizhou then threw a blue crystal card at Jinghe's feet. "There are five million Belas inside, the password is six sixes. I won't stop you from searching for Sui Liangfeng, but if you want to stay, I welcome you anytime."

Immediately, ten ghost soldiers came out of the alley and bowed to Qizhou. "No injured personnel found."

"Hmm." Qizhou nodded and then flew towards the direction of the palace, the ghost soldiers turning into black smoke and disappearing.
