Learn the truth

The sun was just right!

Although an aura of great destruction permeated the scene, everyone was in good spirits.

For the members of the Demon Palace, their decision to join the Demon Palace and follow Zhong Qing had transformed from initial resistance to profound gratitude.

Especially Heavenly God Mountain!

They were incredibly grateful for their initial choice.

Had they not joined the Demon Palace early, they would have almost been dragged into the abyss of destruction by the North Demon Cave.

Now, they had not only escaped danger but could also serve under a terrifying existence like the Demon Lord; it was simply a blessing from their past lives.

The Heavenly God Mountain small team no longer represented the past glory's demise for Heavenly God Mountain.

They firmly believed that under Zhong Qing's leadership, they might be able to create their own unique glory in the future, albeit in an unconventional way.

Perhaps even surpassing their former glory.

As for Bai Ling!

Today, her great revenge was exacted.

Now, with her Master by her side, she was practically overjoyed.

She secretly glanced at Zhong Qing.

She didn't know where she found the courage, but she, who was always reserved, actually stood closely beside Zhong Qing, slightly behind him. Seeing that Zhong Qing didn't speak, she quietly, like a young woman, linked her jade hand with Zhong Qing's palm.

Zhong Qing was also immersed in joy at this moment; it was equally a day worth celebrating.

This time, Bai Ling's cultivation had greatly improved.

His own gains, consequently, were also extremely gratifying.

His own strength had leaped from the Three Yang Second Realm to the Myriad Laws Realm.

Not only that, but he had also progressed a significant distance within the Myriad Laws Realm.

He now resided at the Sixth Level of the Myriad Laws Realm!

It must be said that after reaching the Myriad Laws Realm, the energy required for each level-up was extremely terrifying.

Every time Bai Ling broke through a minor realm in the Three Yang Realm, after a ten thousand-fold return, Zhong Qing would only break through one level in the Myriad Laws Realm.

So, it seemed like a ten thousand-fold return, and the two seemed to be only one major realm apart.

However, his own improvement was enough to prove that the further one progressed in realms, the greater the disparity between them became.

Therefore, for Zhong Qing, today was indeed a good day, but at the same time, he also discovered a frustrating problem.

That was, apart from Bai Ling, the improvement brought to him by his other Disciples after the ten thousand-fold return was almost negligible.

After all, the gap in realms between them was almost a chasm.

Even after being shrunk ten thousand times, this chasm still represented a huge difference.

This gave Zhong Qing a headache.

Although his Disciples' cultivation growth already far surpassed their peers, they still couldn't keep up with his progress.

How to further enhance the cultivation of his other Disciples also became something Zhong Qing was pondering.

Of course, these were matters for later.

Right now, what Zhong Qing most wanted to do was subtly withdraw his hand, which was being held by Bai Ling.

He thought so, and he acted accordingly.

As Zhong Qing withdrew his hand, a hint of disappointment flashed through Bai Ling's heart.

But she quickly returned to normal.

So many seductive women coveted a remarkable man like Master.

Being pure and maintaining distance from the opposite sex, even his Disciples were no exception. This proved Master's integrity was quite strong, and she should be happy, so what was there to be disappointed about?

Thinking this, Bai Ling became happy again.

She brought up the old topic again.

“Master, you still haven't answered me.”

“How did you establish this force?!”

Bai Ling asked like a curious child.

After all, the members of the Demon Palace were too astonishing!

This was a force capable of overthrowing and ruling the entire Northern Region.

It could be said that with this core group, entering the Northern Region and becoming its sole overlord was no longer an empty dream.

Speaking of this question, among everyone present, Chicken One had the most authority to speak!

As someone who prided himself on being Zhong Qing's most loyal subordinate, how could he miss this opportunity to show off?

In an instant, Chicken One scurried over to Bai Ling.

He said mysteriously, “Miss Bai Ling, let me, little Ji, answer your doubts about this question!”

“Mhm, mhm!”

Bai Ling was naturally willing.

Then, Chicken One's expression became serious, and he earnestly said, “Miss Bai Ling, the Demon Palace exists entirely for you!”

“For me?”

Bai Ling was stunned, somewhat confused.

Chicken One chuckled.

“Miss Bai Ling must be very curious, right?!”

“Why the Demon City, originally located in the far north, appeared here in the Snowwind Plains.”

This question had indeed troubled Bai Ling for a long time.

She had been unable to figure it out before.

But now, Chicken One seemed to know the inside story.

“Do you know why?”

She asked hurriedly.

“Of course!”

Chicken One spread one wing and pointed to himself.

“This Demon City was ordered by Master for us to move.”

“He felt the Demon City was too far from you and couldn't bear for you to travel over mountains and rivers, enduring hardships.”

“Therefore, he instructed us overnight to move the Demon City from the far north to the Snowwind Plains, tens of thousands of miles away, which was then near Miss Bai Ling's location.”

“What?!!!”

This news was incredibly explosive for Bai Ling.

She had originally thought it was merely Heaven's favor, allowing her to proceed without alarm or danger and ultimately obtain the True Demon Inheritance and personally kill her enemies.

But in life, nine out of ten things do not go as planned.

There was no such thing as peaceful years or destiny's favor; clearly, someone had been paving the way for her, removing all obstacles in her path.

At this moment, she couldn't help but recall past events again.

A series of doubts that had been suppressed in her heart were now answered.

Why, after meeting Zhong Qing, she had almost never encountered assassinations from the North Demon Cave again, and if there were any, they were just two or three small fry.

She had originally thought that the Scarecrow accompanying her was merely Zhong Qing's gesture to keep her company and entertain her.

But upon reflection now, things couldn't be that simple.

She was inherently intelligent and perceptive.

It was just that her previous preconceptions had prevented her from thinking in that direction.

Now, with Chicken One's revelation and deductions from clues, she instantly confirmed it.

That Scarecrow was a bodyguard arranged by Master to be by her side.

And the reason she was able to travel safely from the Eastern Region to the Northern Region, and finally enter the Demon City, was all due to Master's secret protection.

Upon realizing how much Master had done for her, Bai Ling could hardly hold back her tears.

“Master!”

At this moment, her gratitude towards Zhong Qing had reached an extreme point.

For the first time in her life, Bai Ling experienced what it felt like to be moved to tears by someone!
