Jinghe saw Qizhou leave and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She wiped the sweat off her forehead, picked up the blue crystal card on the ground, and entered the password. The blue crystal card displayed a five, followed by many zeros.

"One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand... five million, there really is five million." Jinghe couldn't help but open her mouth wide when she saw the number. She didn't expect that the demon named Qizhou would give them five million just like that.

"Mom, he really gave us five million." Jinghe looked at her mother, she had never seen so much money in her life.

Jing Gu recalled the situation just now. The demon named Qizhou clenched his fist when he heard that Huangming had been killed by Poqi. This action showed that Qizhou was angry.

This demon named Qizhou should not be associated with Poqi. The "Your Majesty" he mentioned should be the leader of the demons.

Huangming was the demon of flames and should be a servant of "Your Majesty". The demon of death did not harm us mother and daughter, and kindly gave us five million. This shows that the demon of death is loyal.

The fate of "Your Majesty" is uncertain. Poqi killed Huangming, there are traitors among the demons, but she doesn't know how many.

She only knows that there are traitors among the demons. Huangming was a kind-hearted demon and was loyal to his colleagues and friends. Poqi easily killed Huangming using this point, but what is Poqi's purpose? Is it related to "Your Majesty"'s disappearance?

She cannot be certain about this and does not have the ability to investigate. She is just an ordinary human.

"Mom, that demon gave us five million, what should we do next? Should we continue to look for Suiliangfeng?" Jinghe asked her mother.

Jing Gu thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "No, Suiliangfeng has not been reincarnated yet. Let's find a place to stay for a while and decide later."

"Okay!" Jinghe nodded obediently.

"Can we trust what that demon named Qizhou said?" Jinghe suddenly asked, still wary of Qizhou. Perhaps she is wary of all demons, except for "Your Majesty" and Suiliangfeng. After all, they are the people Huangming's brother mentioned in his will.

"I don't have a hundred percent certainty that Qizhou is loyal."

The big yellow dog was very angry that its nest was destroyed, it started barking madly at Jing Gu and Jinghe, "Woof woof woof... Woof woof woof... Woof woof woof... Woof woof woof woof woof..."

Jing Gu took a piece of jerky from her pocket and threw it on the ground.

The big yellow dog immediately came closer and picked up the jerky, happily enjoying the taste.

"Just one piece of jerky and you think you can bribe me, no way!" The big yellow dog thought to itself.

After finishing the jerky, it started barking again, "Woof woof woof... Woof woof woof woof..."

Jing Gu threw a few more pieces of jerky on the ground and the big yellow dog immediately pounced on them, continuing to eat.

This time, after finishing the jerky, it stopped barking and lay down, staring at Jing Gu with its eyes.

"We destroyed your home, do you want to come with us, we will provide food and shelter, what do you think?" Jing Gu looked at the big yellow dog and asked.

The big yellow dog wagged its tail, indicating its agreement, and then it stood up and ran towards Jing Gu.

"This dog is quite smart." Jing Gu praised as she petted the big yellow dog's head.

The big yellow dog licked Jing Gu's hand, seeming to please her.

Then, Jing Gu took out another piece of jerky and fed it to the big yellow dog.

Immediately after that, the three of them found a place to live.

...

Meanwhile, Qizhou returned to the palace and found the puppet demon Modi. "Poqi killed Huangming," Qizhou said directly to Modi, his voice filled with anger.

"What!" Modi's face showed a shocked expression upon hearing this. Huangming was actually killed by his comrade! (12th-ranked puppet demon)

"Qizhou, where did you hear this news?" Modi asked.

"A mother and daughter. The younger girl is able to use the Ashes Sword and has been looking for Suiliangfeng. This proves that her relationship with Huangming is extraordinary," Qizhou said.

"I understand," Modi nodded.

"I'm going to the casino to catch Bexibo and interrogate him. He came from Poqi, so there's a possibility he was involved," Qizhou's expression turned dark. He would not tolerate a traitor who betrayed his comrades.

Moments later, Qizhou arrived at the casino.

"Your... Your Majesty, why are you here at the casino?" The casino manager was astonished to see Qizhou. He had no idea why the emperor would come to a place like this.

"Where is Bexibo?" Qizhou asked coldly, his eyes fixed on the casino manager.

"He's in the lounge on the second floor," the casino manager pointed towards the direction of the second floor.

"Lead the way!" Qizhou ordered and headed towards the second floor.

"Yes!" The casino manager hurriedly agreed and led Qizhou upstairs.

...

Inside the lounge on the second floor of the casino.

A man was lying on the sofa, sleeping, with drool dribbling from the corner of his mouth.

Ever since Bexibo switched casinos, his luck improved significantly. He consistently won more and lost less, successfully achieving his target of 37.8 million bela. However, Bexibo felt no sense of accomplishment; after all, he started with a capital of 10 million bela.

If he could win 37.8 million with just 20 bela, it would shock the gambling world. He wanted every gambling establishment to spread the legend of winning 37.8 million with just 20 bela.

In this way, even if Bexibo died on the battlefield, people would remember the gambler who won 37.8 million with just 20 bela - he would be known as the gambling god, Bexibo.

"Ding ling~" Qizhou knocked on the room door.

Bexibo wiped the drool off the corner of his mouth and stood up to open the door.

"Who is it?" Bexibo opened the door and saw Qizhou, "What's going on?"

"I'm here to ask if you have conspired with Poqi," Qizhou asked directly, his eyes fixed on Bexibo's gaze.

"What conspiracy? I have no idea what you're talking about," Bexibo waved his hand.

"Huangming was killed by Poqi, and you have encountered him. I have reasons to suspect you have conspired with Poqi. I want a reasonable explanation from you," Qizhou said.

"I will cooperate with your investigation to prove my innocence," Bexibo said and left the casino with Qizhou, returning to the palace.

"Please have a seat," Qizhou glanced at Bexibo.

Bexibo sat down on the chair, and with a snap, his hands and feet were secured to the chair with special chains. He had no complaints; he knew it was to prevent him from escaping.

This was in line with Qizhou's style; he was a cautious demon, and Bexibo was well aware of that.

Immediately after, Modi controlled the hypnotic puppet and began the hypnosis on Bexibo.

The puppet took out a pocket watch and swung it in a certain rhythm. Bexibo's eyelids gradually became heavy, and soon he entered a special state of consciousness that resembled sleep but wasn't exactly sleep.

Modi looked at Qizhou and nodded, indicating that the hypnosis was successful. Qizhou immediately asked Bexibo, "During your time in the Sun-Moon Empire, have you had contact with Poqi?"

"No... I haven't," Bexibo replied.

"Did Poqi give you any benefits? Or did he give you something?" Qizhou asked.

"He gave me... 200,000 bela..."

"What did you use it for?"

"I... I gambled it all away..."

"One last question, who are you currently loyal to?"

"The Demon Emperor... Chaos..."

Qizhou breathed a sigh of relief; luckily, Bexibo hadn't betrayed His Majesty. Otherwise, he would have cut him down with his scythe.

"Modi, release the hypnosis," Qizhou said.

...

Bexibo opened his eyes and woke up, asking Qizhou, "What's the result?"

"You haven't betrayed His Majesty, nor have you done anything to harm him," Qizhou's tone slightly eased, not as cold as before.

"Huangming was killed by Poqi. Who told you, Qizhou?" Bexibo asked.

"A young girl who can use the Ashen Sword and holds animosity towards us. She wants to find His Majesty and Suiliang, seemingly only trusting them," Qizhou informed Bexibo of what he knew.

"Why did Poqi kill Huangming?" Bei Xibao frowned, pinching his chin and pondering.

"Poqi had told you that Martial Angel killed the Emperor. As the Emperor's cousin, Martial Angel wouldn't kill him. As an angel, they should not kill either, especially since the Ruined Land barbarians are attacking. They cannot defend Divinity and Demon's Continent alone, especially when order has not been restored. It is clear that Martial Angel did not kill the Emperor, but Poqi said they did. This is obviously a frame-up." Qizhou analyzed, "Now we know that Huangming was killed by Poqi, most likely to seize his power, as only Huangming's power can be inherited among all demons. The girl's sequence power probably only inherited half, which is why I could easily suppress her flames. The Emperor's disappearance is most likely caused by Poqi. The one behind the scenes of the Crimson Empire should be Poqi, not the current Victor."

"What should we do then?" Modi asked.

"We wait for Shizhi to return, and then we attack the Crimson Empire and capture Poqi." Qizhou said, "Prepare yourselves, and when Shizhi returns, we will depart."

"No problem." Bei Xibao and Modi said simultaneously.

"By the way, Qizhou, you said that the girl harbors hostility towards us and only trusts Suiliang Feng and the Emperor, right?" Bei Xibao asked.

"That's correct."

"Modi, didn't you make a puppet based on Suiliang Feng's likeness? You can manipulate the puppet to find that girl. This way, she won't harbor hostility towards us. It's dangerous for a girl to be out on her own." Bei Xibao suggested.

"Good idea, why didn't I think of that?" Modi slapped his forehead, looking frustrated. "How could I forget about this?"

"That's a good plan! Bring her back and teach her well, at least it will give her 70% of Huangming's power. This way, she won't dishonor the title of the Demon of Flames inherited from Huangming." Qizhou also agreed with Bei Xibao's proposal.

"Do you know where the girl is, Qizhou?" Modi asked.

"I gave her a blue crystal card, which still carries the aura of death." Qizhou said before leaving.

Modi also left.

Bei Xibao returned to the gambling den to continue having fun.
