143: Huangpu Xuanling!

At this moment, Situ was filled with confusion and surprise.

Accompanying her to rest in the middle of the night?

There's no need for that... I'm not a child anymore!

However, Situ was still pulled into the room in a daze. Then, Blood Shade slammed the door shut and pressed Situ against the wall, her long, slender jade-like leg hooked around his waist. Blood Shade leaned her entire body against Situ's chest, her small hands restlessly sliding over his delicate face and neck. Then, she said in a bewitching and seductive tone,

"Hehe, you rotten man, still saying you have no feelings for me? Isn't this proof you do?

This princess's intuition is very accurate!

To punish you for hurting me last night, you have to make it up to me properly tonight, or you can forget about leaving this room!"

Hearing Blood Shade's enchanting words, Situ swallowed hard, not even having the courage to lower his head, forcing himself to hold on.

"You You, now is not the time for us to..."

"Shut up, get on the bed!"

Seeing Situ still trying to say something, Blood Shade interrupted him, then forcefully threw him onto the bed. As she walked towards Situ, she began to remove her clothes. Seeing this scene, Situ's blood Pressure skyrocketed, but he forcefully suppressed it.

Then, when Blood Shade had stripped down to just a thin black inner garment, she licked her thin lips at Situ, who was trembling on the bed, her eyes hazy. The next second, she pinned him down beneath her.

"Tonight, I want you!"

Hearing this, Situ's mind raced. Looking at the stunning face and bewitching eyes so close to his, his face flushed red!

Just as Blood Shade was about to kiss him, Situ knocked her unconscious.

"You!"

Blood Shade seemed a bit incredulous, then collapsed onto Situ's chest the next second. Situ then laid her down properly, carefully covered her with the blanket, and gently brushed aside her hair. With a hint of apology, he said,

"I'm sorry, You You. I'm not strong enough yet. Let's talk about this matter later!"

Then, Situ sat down cross-legged beside her, his breathing even and his Spiritual Qi flowing smoothly!

Outside the room, a group of Demon Race Experts let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness this kid is sensible, otherwise we wouldn't know how to explain things to our superiors!"

"Thank goodness, thank goodness. No, it seems Her Highness the Princess has already taken a liking to this kid. We need to quickly resolve the matter with the Huangpu Sacred Dynasty and find an excuse to take the princess back to the Demon Race, or else this kid will really benefit!"

"Damn it, it's all this kid's fault. What kind of love potion did he give the princess? Originally, we could have ended the Huangpu Sacred Dynasty quickly, but after learning this kid has a grudge against them, all of the princess's decisions have been directly tied to him. Damn it!"

"No, I'm going back to request the Supreme Elder. We can't delay any longer!"

At this moment, those Demon Race Experts were talking over each other, their words a chaotic mess, like a family seeing their cherished girl about to be taken by some scoundrel!

And so, the night passed. After waking up, Blood Shade ignored Situ again. Of course, Situ could only smile bitterly and focus on cultivating properly for now.

Naturally, the war had also entered a lull. On one hand, internal strife within Huangpu led to a lack of clear directives for the front-line armies of the Huangpu Sacred Dynasty. On another hand, the arrival of numerous Demon Race Experts at the frontline made those from the Huangpu Sacred Dynasty dare not act rashly!

Another aspect was the matter of negotiating with Huangpu Xuanling.

At this moment, within the vast palace of the Huangpu Sacred Dynasty, waves of Pressure clashed head-on!

"You brat, do you truly dare oppose me!"

Huangpu Xuanji, clad in a majestic dragon robe, sat upon the throne, his Supreme cultivation Pressure wantonly displayed, along with the experts who followed him!

On the other side, Huangpu Xuanling was not weak either. Although he was only at the Soul Transformation stage, the experts behind him were also powerful, radiating Pressure to counter Huangpu Xuanji and his group.

"Father, launching this war was a mistake from the start. It not only wastes resources and harms the people but has also lost us their support!

Moreover, the Demon Race is not as simple as they appear on the surface; they have countless internal experts. It's impossible to defeat them!"

"The Demon Race stronghold that appeared previously in Tiandu City is clear proof. The Demon Race is no ordinary foe. Continuing to fight will surely lead to the destruction of our family and the fall of our state!"

"Are you doubting me, or are you doubting the strength of my Huangpu Sacred Dynasty?"

Huangpu Xuanji was furious. Looking at Huangpu Xuanling, he felt an impulse to kill him!

"Hmph! Our Huangpu has developed to this point by annexing hundreds of forces, large and small. The court is filled with countless experts. Why can't we defeat the Demon Race? The Demon Race is just a bunch of cowards clinging to life in Miaojiang!

Once my Huangpu's iron cavalry tramples Miaojiang, its resources and territory will advance the development of our Huangpu Sacred Dynasty. Moreover, if we seize and mine the Black Profound Crystal Stones the Demon Race occupies, our Sacred Dynasty will step into an Imperial Dynasty, even capable of rivaling the Taichu Holy Land!

As the emperor of Huangpu, I must have this ambition to lead Huangpu to dominate the world!"

Hearing this and looking at Huangpu Xuanji's increasingly distorted expression on the throne, Huangpu Xuanling sighed with pity.

"I think you want to lead the dynasty into eternal damnation. Also, I've investigated what you did in the past. For the throne, you didn't hesitate to kill your Dao Companion abroad. Don't think I don't know. If I didn't have some talent, you'd probably have killed me too!"

"Damn you! Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"

Enraged, Huangpu Xuanji raised his hand to grab at Huangpu Xuanling, but was blocked by the experts behind Huangpu Xuanling.

"Your Majesty, please stop! The Crown Prince is the successor personally chosen by the Old Ancestor. He must not be harmed!"

"You!"

Huangpu Xuanji gritted his teeth, glaring at the group of old men behind Huangpu Xuanling, his anger boiling even more!

If not for them, how could my Huangpu army advance so slowly, even being pushed back by the Demon Race!

The Huangpu Sacred Dynasty has been passed down to this day, and its high-ranking members still possess strength. Moreover, to select a suitable next monarch, there is also a mysterious organization: the Pillars of the State.

The Huangpu Sacred Dynasty has a full ten Pillars of the State, selected every hundred years, with the lowest cultivation among them being at least Middle Stage Supreme!

Their main duty is to protect the successor of the Sacred Dynasty. As for restraining the current monarch, they have no real power!

At this moment, those Pillars of the State looked at Huangpu Xuanji on the throne and sighed. They wondered if the previous Pillars of the State were blind to have chosen this 'ambitious' ruler.

"Hmph! I will personally lead the expedition. Let's see if those front-line armies will recognize me as their sovereign!"

Then, Huangpu Xuanji waved his hand, dismissing the assembly, and left with his followers, leaving only Huangpu Xuanling sighing in the palace.

Just then, a figure in black appeared beside Huangpu Xuanling.

"Your Highness Crown Prince, the Demon Race Experts have sent an invitation!"

An invitation?

Huangpu Xuanling was puzzled and surprised.

"Why would the Demon Race send one to me?"

He opened it and was greatly shocked. The general content of the letter was:

"Respected Crown Prince, we of the Demon Race understand that you strongly oppose this war. How could we not feel the same? We also understand that to end this war, the only way is for Huangpu Xuanji to step down and for you to ascend. Although our Demon Race does not shy away from war, if there is another way to resolve this, why not take it?

Therefore, Her Highness the Princess of our Demon Race specially invites you to the Zhu Yuan Frontline for negotiations. If the talks go well, our Demon Race will even assist you in smoothly ascending to power!"

Seeing this, Huangpu Xuanling was somewhat surprised and showed the contents to the group behind him.

"Your Highness, it cannot be trusted! The Demon Race is cunning. This is clearly a trap!"

The experts said at this moment. But after thinking it over, Huangpu Xuanling said,

"If I remember correctly, the Demon Race was peacefully settled in Miaojiang. The war was initiated by our Huangpu Sacred Dynasty, and they only retaliated. If that's the case, I am willing to give it a try!"

"Your Highness!"

Huangpu Xuanling smiled.

"We can't fight anymore. The Huangpu Sacred Dynasty has too much to rectify now. If we continue fighting, our dynasty will collapse from within!"

Hearing this, the old men said no more, instead looking at Huangpu Xuanling with a hint of admiration.

Although Huangpu Xuanji is quite useless, his son is remarkably capable!

"Your Highness, we understand. We will escort Your Highness there!"

Then, a reply letter was sent back.

Agreeing to visit in person two days later!

After that, things quieted down. But at this time, things were far from quiet on Lin Daoyuan's side!

Lin Daoyuan was currently at a border city under the jurisdiction of the Taichu Holy Land, which was being flooded by refugees caused by the war between the Huangpu Sacred Dynasty and the Demon Race!

Due to the large influx of people, the Taichu Holy Land could no longer sit idle and sent Disciples to manage order!

However, contrary to what Lin Daoyuan had feared, there was no incident of turning people away at the gates. One must believe that there are still many good people and good deeds in the world!
