107: Clouds surge from all sides

Yanyang Mountain is shrouded in clouds and mist.

The Purple Flame Demon Sect is located here, with a radius of two hundred miles under its actual control.

As one of the seven major sects of the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures, it is the premier power in Purple Flame Prefecture.

It has a Legacy of eight hundred years.

Countless Yun Province Pacification Commissioners have come and gone, yet they remain as steady as Mount Tai.

At this moment, inside the main deliberation hall.

There were only eight people present, all of whom were Elder-level figures and Grandmaster-level powerhouses. The Sect Master of the Purple Flame Demon Sect, Jiang Tianchen, sat high at the head of the table.

"What do you all think about the matter of Young Master Ling Xiao?"

Jiang Tianchen said indifferently.

"Young Master Ling Xiao is the future successor of our Purple Flame Demon Sect and must not be lost. In any case, he cannot die at the hands of the Demon Suppression Division."

A middle-aged Elder said.

"Three Nine-Turn True Origin Pills and five Millennium-Grade Precious Medicines. Chu Jiang certainly dares to dream. Our Purple Flame Demon Sect only possesses five Nine-Turn True Origin Pills in total."

"And five Millennium-Grade Precious Medicines? This is bleeding the Purple Flame Demon Sect dry."

"Does he, Chu Jiang, think he can empty half of the Purple Flame Demon Sect's treasury with just one sentence? Is that even possible?"

"How will our Purple Flame Demon Sect establish itself in the future? The name of the seven major sects of the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures would become a joke."

Another elderly-looking Elder retorted.

The seven Elders held differing opinions. Surprisingly, the majority were in favor of abandoning him, with only two Elders supporting the exchange to retrieve Young Master Ling Xiao.

"Good, then it is decided!"

"The Purple Flame Demon Sect will not respond. We will shelve this matter until the plan is completed!"

Jiang Tianchen said in a deep voice.

"What if Young Master Ling Xiao is killed before the plan is completed? If that baleful star sees that we are delaying the ransom, he will definitely resort to killing."

"Sect Master, Young Master Ling Xiao was raised by your own hands..."

The middle-aged Elder who spoke first said.

"If he dies, it can only be considered his fate. He is just a successor; we can simply cultivate another!"

"Our Demon Sect's millennial grand plan cannot be delayed!"

"As long as the plan succeeds, our Purple Flame Demon Sect, and even the seven major sects of the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures, will be able to cast off the shadow of Ye Lingkong and return to the state of two hundred years ago."

Jiang Tianchen's tone was indifferent. The Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures had been suppressed by Ye Lingkong for too long; it was time for the sky to change. Powerful factions in other provinces of Great Chu had whatever they desired.

Yet the powerful factions in the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures could only cower within their own tiny territories.

They dared not move a single inch.

Under Ye Lingkong's heavy suppression, they were even forced to sign the Demon Defense Treaty.

Once the demons invaded in force.

The seven major sects of the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures would stand together with the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division to resist the foreign enemy.

A Great Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm.

Too strong.

Beyond the scope of humanity.

Currently, there is only one Great Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm in the entire Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures, and that is Ye Lingkong.

The demon side also has beings of this level, but their strength is inferior to Ye Lingkong's.

This is the reason why the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures, whether it be demons or the various factions of the Jianghu, have been suppressed by Ye Lingkong alone for nearly two hundred years.

The previous Pacification Envoy of the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division was merely a peak-level Great Grandmaster.

The seven major sects all have peak-level Great Grandmasters, so naturally, they would not be too fearful.

One can only blame those idiots among the demons.

They actually surrounded and killed the previous Pacification Envoy. The Imperial Capital was furious, which is why they transferred Ye Lingkong, a Prodigy-level figure, to take up the post in the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures.

A single man suppressing the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures for nearly two hundred years.

Demons are just demons, with no brains at all. If you eat thousands or tens of thousands of people, the Imperial Capital won't care about you, but you actually killed the high-ranking official in charge of the Yunzhou Thirteen Prefectures.

And expected to get away with it easily.

However, now... the roles of attacker and defender have reversed, and all of this will change.

They have waited too long for this moment.

"We will not come forward in this matter, but that does not mean it is over. Send a message to the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division, asking if Chu Jiang's actions mean he intends to tear up the treaty established by Ye Lingkong!"

"Let them fight amongst themselves."

"The more chaotic, the better!"

It just so happens that Ye Lingkong is away, so we will give them something to do.

"Sect Master is wise!"

The Elders exclaimed, their faces revealing evil smiles.

Si Province, Zhennan Royal Family.

"My Prince, I have already said that I have nothing to do with that damned Jin Rilun."

"Hao'er is your flesh and blood, My Prince; this is beyond doubt."

Fei Ruji's figure was reclined in the arms of the old Prince Zhennan, her palms constantly stroking his body. As a woman, she naturally knew how to please a man.

The old Prince Zhennan's lips were dry.

"My Prince, you are naughty... It is not very good to do it here. This is your royal hall. Shall we go to the room... I guarantee I will satisfy you."

Fei Ruji said coquettishly, rising and swaying her alluring figure.

"I do not want to say this a second time!"

"Come here!"

The old Prince Zhennan said in a deep voice.

Seeing the old Prince get angry.

Fei Ruji had no choice but to comply.

Three minutes later.

The old Prince Zhennan nodded with satisfaction and left, attended by Fei Ruji.

Fei Ruji cursed inwardly.

This old man is becoming more and more useless; he probably doesn't have much time left to live.

In these few months, I must squeeze him dry.

It would be best if I could get pregnant with another one and beguile this old man into naming her son as the Heir.

At the very least, he should be a Young Master.

That would be enough for him to continue thriving after the old Prince Zhennan dies.

If that doesn't work.

I can only conceive with someone else, but there is no one suitable in the Zhennan Royal Family.

That damned Jin Rilun.

He was captured but didn't just die. If he reveals what I did behind the old Prince Zhennan's back with him...

It is simply a ticking time bomb.

"My Prince, this Jin Rilun is useless and only causes trouble. He actually went behind your back to seek revenge on Chu Jiang, only to be captured and used to threaten the Zhennan Royal Family."

"He has absolutely no respect for you in his eyes."

"Why don't you come forward and have Chu Jiang release him, then teach him a harsh lesson? It would enhance your majesty, and in the future, no one in the Zhennan Royal Family would dare to defy you in secret."

Fei Ruji began to whisper in his ear, while inwardly considering how to get rid of this ticking time bomb.

Jin Rilun no longer had any value to her.

"We shall see, I am tired!"

The old Prince Zhennan's eyes were a bit unfocused; clearly, the intense activity just now, while extremely comfortable, had left him physically exhausted afterward.

"Ruji will take her leave!"

Fei Ruji's face showed joy; as long as this old man was willing to loosen his stance, everything was open to manipulation.

The royal hall fell into silence once again, leaving only the old Prince Zhennan sitting alone on the throne.

The Void Realm in the royal hall rippled.

A mysterious figure suddenly appeared. This person's aura was completely restrained, appearing like an ordinary person.

"You are quite pleased with yourself!"

The mysterious person said indifferently.

"Greetings, My Prince!" The old Prince Zhennan on the throne hurriedly stood up to pay his respects, then said with a smile: "My Prince, you know, I have a weakness for this. I don't have many years left to live, so I might as well enjoy myself while I'm still alive, before I'm buried."

"Everything has been as usual lately, and the matters you entrusted to me have been handled."

"It's just that the reputation of the royal family is not very good lately. Everyone says our Zhennan Royal Family are cowards, remaining indifferent even after being humiliated twice by others."

The old Prince Zhennan said with a bitter smile. The mysterious person before him was the real Prince Zhennan; he was merely a body double.

The only capable woman was Fei Ruji.

The other women could not be touched.

Therefore, he was overly indulgent with her.

As for the matter of her cuckolding him, he didn't care much. As a man near death, he would rather think about how to happily spend his remaining time.

"What I am fighting for is not temporary gain or loss, but for a hundred, or even a thousand years!"

"The lower the sense of presence here, the better."

"The turning of the heavens and earth happens in an instant."

"Enjoy your final days well; this can be considered my compensation to you."

The real Prince Zhennan disappeared from the spot as soon as he finished speaking.

The hall was once again left with only the fake Prince Zhennan, sitting alone on the throne.
