60: This is too much of a challenge to her bottom line.
Chen Qingxuan suddenly thought of something.
Those two talents didn't come to seek revenge on him, nor did they settle down to focus on improving their strength... Instead, they uncharacteristically took over positions they should have resisted.
What are they plotting behind this?
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!
At this moment,
In the Demon Emperor Palace, tens of thousands of miles away.
After Xuan Ling brought back the news that Yihua Palace and the Divine Phoenix Sect had changed their leaders, even the well-traveled Ji Li couldn't figure out why for a moment.
Whether it was Yihua Palace or the Divine Phoenix Sect, they were forces that could not be underestimated in the Human Race.
Or rather, the status of the two in the Human Domain was just like the status of the Demon Emperor Palace in the Western Regions.
When competitors of the same magnitude suddenly made such bizarre moves, it naturally made one feel uneasy.
"Demon Lord."
At this time, Xuan Ling added, "Because of this incident, a wave of panic has also been triggered in the Western Regions. Many forces that were previously unwilling to submit to the Demon Emperor Palace are now competing to visit us... seeking the protection of the Demon Emperor Palace to deal with any trouble that may come at any time... How should we handle these forces?"
"For those forces willing to submit to the Demon Emperor Palace, we can first absorb them and have them relocate near the Demon Emperor Palace to be at our beck and call at any time. But for now, we cannot let them enter the territory of the Demon Emperor Palace." Ji Li pondered for a moment and made a decision.
"Rest assured, Demon Lord, I understand what to do."
Xuan Ling nodded in agreement.
Just as she was about to leave, Ji Qianyou, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "Aunt Xuan Ling, compared to those two Human Race Prodigies, who is superior?"
"Hmm?"
Xuan Ling stopped her footsteps and thought seriously for a moment, "I haven't fought them. If we judge solely from their performance in the ruins, it's impossible to determine if they have used their full strength... So, who is superior between you and them is really hard to say."
Ji Qianyou nodded and suggested, "Mother, why don't we also announce to the outside world... that from now on, the Demon Emperor Palace will be managed by me."
Before Ji Li could speak;
Ji Qianyou added, "Since we don't understand what they are doing, following suit shouldn't be wrong. Perhaps doing so will make other forces in the Western Regions even more submissive to our Demon Emperor Palace, thinking that we have already seen through the truth behind the changes in the Human Race."
"..."
Ji Li's expression shifted upon hearing this.
Although she was very surprised when she first heard her daughter's proposal, after thinking about it carefully, she felt it wasn't without merit. "Let's do as Qian You says!"
Ji Li gestured to Xuan Ling.
"Yes!"
Xuan Ling nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Aunt Xuan Ling." At this time, Ji Qianyou suddenly thought of something else, "In addition, inform the outside world that I once apprenticed under a Human Race expert. This person is handsome, possessed of extraordinary talent, and has mastered the strengths of various schools. Because of his guidance, my current strength is no longer inferior to Mother's..."
"Qian You, why is there a need to announce this to the outside world?" Ji Li interrupted, "And... why praise that Bitch against your conscience?"
"Mother, Revered Master was not only able to calculate that I have the Demon Emperor Bloodline, but also had the courage to infiltrate the Demon Emperor Palace to help me with my Awakening. He is by no means an ordinary person," Ji Qianyou explained. "But since he disappeared, not only has there been no trace of him in the Western Regions, but even the Human Domain hasn't produced such a figure again... I believe those praises are not enough to describe Revered Master's mystery."
"If we spread this news, for one, it can confuse the Human Race, making them wonder who exactly is qualified to be my Revered Master."
"Secondly, if Revered Master hears the news, he will understand that I still regard him as my Revered Master. Perhaps he will return to the Demon Emperor Palace to find me... although the probability is small, it's not impossible!"
"In any case, this has no downsides for our Demon Emperor Palace..."
Ji Qianyou stated her thoughts.
"..."
Ji Li's brow furrowed as she listened.
It wasn't that she thought her daughter was being whimsical, but the fact that she still regarded Chen Qingxuan as her Revered Master... made her very worried.
In her view, Chen Qingxuan had infiltrated the Demon Emperor Palace with a conspiracy and deceived her trust... for such a person, she should never have any kindness again.
"Demon Lord, I think Qian You's words are reasonable." At this time, Xuan Ling spoke up in support, "Now that variables we don't understand have occurred in the Human Race, we can also throw out a mysterious person they wouldn't expect. Moreover, it's well known that the Human Race and the Yao Race have always been at odds, yet there is a Human Race powerhouse to whom you agreed to let your daughter apprentice... the shock this would cause the Human Race is beyond words."
"If the changes in the Human Domain this time are indeed related to the Western Regions, then out of concern for Qian You's Revered Master... I think it can also buy us a lot of time to figure out what they really want to do!"
"..."
Ji Li remained silent.
Although she also understood that this move could buy time, this approach... undoubtedly also elevated Chen Qingxuan.
Because her feelings had once been deceived... she felt somewhat unwilling in her heart.
It was very much like catching a husband cheating, and before he could even close the door, upon returning home and discovering it, instead of beating the adulterer and the mistress... she closed the door for them and thoughtfully turned on the air conditioner.
This challenged her bottom line too much.
But as everyone knew, Ji Li's bottom line regarding Chen Qingxuan had always been very flexible. "Let's try it!"
"Yes!"
Xuan Ling happily took the order and left.
Immediately, Ji Li looked at her daughter again, "Qian You, you must understand that Mother only agreed to use his existence to first deal with the variables we haven't figured out. It by no means represents that we can accept that Bitch again... He deceived us back then, and he's not worth our trust a second time, understand?"
"But Mother... I feel like Revered Master isn't a bad person..."
"You forgot, when you were little, he took advantage of my absence to grab your hand... at that time, you even asked me to kill him."
"I was ignorant back then... if it were now, I definitely wouldn't say such things."
"It's even less acceptable now, you've grown up."
"It's fine, he's my Revered Master..."
...A few days later.
At the border between the Eastern Lands and the Southern Border.
Two curvaceous and stunning figures met and smiled at each other.
Huang Qingxue spoke first, "How is it, Susu? Have you adapted to being the Palace Master?"
"Mm-hmm~" Jiang Susu nodded with a sweet smile and said, "Many people in Yihua Palace said they've been optimistic about me since I was a child and have finally waited for the day I become the Palace Master. They were smiling so happily... What about you, Qingxue?"
"Everything is going very smoothly on my end as well."
Huang Qingxue gave a gentle smile and said, "I used what Revered Master taught me, using a gentler tone with the experts of the Sect... as a result, they all said they would follow me to the death."
When recounting their respective results, both women were very proud.
Actually, dealing with people isn't that hard!
In any case, The two women had successfully achieved Perfection in the first step of their plan, which was to take command of their respective forces.
"By the way, Susu."
At this time, Huang Qingxue's expression became serious, "Have you heard about that recent incident?"
