The Last Demon-Slaying Immortal
This is a world where the realm of humans suffers under the brutal domination of the demon realm. A pact known as the Covenant of the Sealed City has forced the Great Xia Kingdom to bow before the Myriad Demons Nation, reducing its people to mere slaves, plunged into unending misery and torment. Yet where there is oppression, there will always be resistance. Ye Feng, a humble scholar, accidentally killed two demon soldiers. Forced into a corner by this act, he had no choice but to raise the banner of rebellion and embark upon the path of resistance. Along the way, he gradually grew to become the legendary Demon-Slaying Immortal, admired by all.

The final outcome of his quest remained shrouded in uncertainty. Yet through it all, he clung steadfastly to a single belief: to rid the world of demons, and to restore peace and harmony to the human realm.

To secure peace, Tan Yuanzongfu ceded territory, bowed in submission, and agreed to pay an annual tribute of three hundred million taels of silver, one hundred million bolts of colored silk, and two million stones of grain. This senseless burden fell upon the people, transforming a once bountiful land into a barren country.
Thus did the once-glorious Black Earth City fall into such ruin.
As he sighed at the sight, a small, pitch-black hand reached out before him.
“Big brother! Please spare some change! My little sister is hungry!”
Ye Feng looked down. A boy of about ten was blocking his way, holding the hand of a girl no older than three or four. Their clothes were tattered, their bodies thin and frail, and their faces sallow with malnutrition. Their eyes gazed up at him with pitiful
