With just that one push, everything was wiped clean, and the Demon Emperor couldn't say anything.
"What do you think?" The Demon Emperor actually took the initiative to ask King Qi, a move that had never happened before.
The King of Qi used to be just a figurehead and never participated in these matters. What's wrong with the Demon Emperor today?
King Luan looked on with curiosity at the unfolding events in the Demon Palace.
"Your Majesty has made up your mind, and I have no objections," King Qi said respectfully.
His usual indifference to matters of the Demon Realm didn't seem unusual to King Luan and King Jing, but to the Demon Emperor, these seemingly normal words took on a different meaning.
Who was it that specifically sought him out to advise against allying with the immortal realm? Why is he now completely silent about the demon realm?
What does this mean exactly?
The Demon Emperor stared intently at King Qi, his sharp gaze seemingly trying to pierce through him and see right through his thoughts.
Unfortunately, such a chilling gaze did not instill fear in the King of Qi.
King Qi merely bowed his head respectfully and stood aside, completely evading the Demon Emperor's probing.
The Demon Emperor frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Go down."
"Yes, we take our leave." The three said in unison and all left.
King Luan was very anxious, wondering how the Demon Emperor would react after learning the news. He hadn't even mentioned how to deal with it. Did the Demon Emperor have another plan?
With the King of Jing present, it's inconvenient for him to ask; it seems he'll have to find another opportunity.
As usual, King Qi walked out as if he were invisible.
He had only taken a few steps when he was stopped: "King Qi, please wait."
The King of Qi stopped and looked up at the King of Jing, with whom he usually had little interaction, and asked, "What is it?"
The King of Jing smiled slightly and asked casually, "Today, Your Majesty seems to show more concern for the King of Qi than usual."
Isn't this too unusual?
A man who never speaks when discussing matters is now being questioned by the Demon Emperor, who is seeking the opinion of the Prince of Qi.
He would never believe it if you told him there was nothing going on inside.
"The demon realm is preparing for war, and the three realms are on the verge of chaos. Your Majesty would like to gather wisdom from all sides," King Qi said calmly, showing no emotional fluctuation due to what had just happened.
King Qi's reaction was too normal, too calm. So calm that King Jing began to waver in his initial guess. Could it be that there really was nothing between the Demon Emperor and King Qi?
The King of Jing did not look at the King of Qi, trying to find a clue from his calm face, but unfortunately, he found nothing.
King Qi simply let King Jing stare at him intently, his gaze unwavering and his expression showing no sign of distress.
After watching for a while, King Jing laughed first: "It seems that our Demon Realm also needs to prepare."
King Qi gave King Jing no reaction whatsoever. Instead, he took a slight step to the side, passed King Jing, and left the Demon Palace.
King Jing was not displeased at all after being rebuffed by King Qi. King Qi was always like this, and he was used to it.
After witnessing this farce, King Luan turned and left without waiting for King Jing to regain his attention, having nothing more to say to him.
After returning to his residence, King Jing quickly contacted Elder Li and instructed him to keep a close eye on the situation in the demon realm.
After giving instructions to Elder Li, King Jing simultaneously began preparations for the Demon Realm, hoping that if the Three Realms descended into chaos, he would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
This is a great opportunity, we absolutely cannot let it slip by.
In the Immortal Realm, Yu Lijing lay in ambush for some time, but had not yet found a good opportunity to strike.
Finally, one afternoon, she discovered that the Venerable One had left her usually heavily guarded residence alone and was walking outside.
Great opportunity!
Yu Lijing controlled her aura and followed from a distance, watching as the Venerable One walked into a deserted place in the Immortal Realm and suddenly disappeared.
Yu Lijing's eyes lit up, and she was secretly delighted. It was truly heaven's help.
Barrier!
If Yu Lijing is dealt with inside the barrier, then the Heavenly Venerable and the Confucian Venerable outside will know nothing. If we find another opportunity to eliminate those two, then this major hidden danger in the Immortal Realm will be easily removed.
This barrier was a piece of cake for Yu Lijing; she could easily sneak in as if it were child's play.
Yu Lijing waited outside for a while, and only after confirming that the Venerable One inside was no longer near the entrance of the barrier did she use her power to slowly enter the barrier without disturbing anyone.
Upon entering, one immediately senses the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth; indeed, this is a hidden place in the immortal realm.
Yu Lijing walked carefully inside, keeping herself extremely alert, and carefully searched to see where the Venerable One was.
This place won't easily alert the outside world. After dealing with the Venerable One, she can rest and recuperate. Once her strength is restored, she can then learn about the Heavenly Venerable and the Confucian Venerable one by one.
Yu Lijin smiled with delight. It was a foolproof plan, a stroke of luck for the demon realm.
Within the barrier, strange rocks stood in rows, making the entire barrier's field of vision very narrow.
This location did provide Yu Lijing with some convenience, allowing her to conceal her tracks. However, finding the Venerable One was still somewhat troublesome.
Having walked nearly halfway, Yu Lijing still hadn't found any trace of the Venerable One, and began to wonder what secret this place held.
"You're really patient." The sudden, cold voice was like a bucket of ice water, pouring directly on Yu Lijing and chilling her to the bone.
Since we've already come this far, what's there to be nervous about?
After a brief moment of surprise, Yu Lijing turned around and looked at the source of the sound. On the strange rock stood a woman, her dress swaying in the wind like delicate flower petals, inspiring imagination.
"As expected of His Excellency, he actually came to lure me into this trap." Yu Lijing said calmly, without the slightest bit of anxiety.
Even if her sneak attack fails, she might not necessarily lose in a face-to-face fight.
"Yu Lijing, it's been so long since we last met. You seem to have regressed a lot compared to before." The Venerable looked at Yu Lijing coldly and slowly uttered contemptuous words.
"Regression?" Yu Lijing sneered. "You'll find out soon enough whether I've regressed or progressed."
How dare they disregard her strength? She didn't waste her time in this forbidden land for a thousand years.
He cultivated with undivided attention, more focused than anyone else.
Therefore, Yu Lijin has a strong sense of confidence in her own abilities.
After listening to Yu Lijing's words, His Majesty slowly shook his head. As his head swayed, the sparkling earrings on his ears drew beautiful arcs in the air.
"I'm saying your mind has deteriorated, not your abilities."
His Excellency's words are worse than no explanation at all; isn't this a blatant insult to Yu Lijing?
"Shut up!" Yu Lijing shouted angrily, her eyes bloodshot as she stared intently at the Venerable One. "What I am is none of your business to insult me."
Her intelligence is beyond anyone else's judgment.
She is sometimes confused. What's wrong with her being confused?
She can still destroy the immortal realm.
"Look, look..." His Highness shook his head regretfully, clicking his tongue in amazement, "After all these years, your temper is still so volatile, and it seems to be getting worse and worse."
"How I am is none of your business." Yu Lijing didn't want to talk to this woman from the immortal realm at all; every word she said made her uncomfortable.
"Of course you don't need me to worry about you. You should worry about it yourself." The Venerable One seemed not to hear what Yu Lijing was saying, and continued to speak to himself, "If you had been more patient back then, that person would probably be yours. Why did it end up with everyone going down in flames?"
When the events of that year were mentioned, Yu Lijing was startled, and her expression suddenly changed.
His Majesty was not in a hurry and just quietly watched Yu Lijing.
Knowing that Yu Lijing had arrived in the Immortal Realm, she searched for her and roughly determined the area where Yu Lijing was located.
She absolutely cannot act rashly. Over the years, Yu Lijing's strength has indeed improved rapidly, and she cannot guarantee that she can defeat Yu Lijing with 100% certainty.
Anyway, if we can capture Yu Lijing at this time, it might save us some trouble when dealing with the demon realm.
She wouldn't rashly do something with a low chance of winning.
"Shut up!" Yu Lijing forced out the two simple words through gritted teeth, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at the Venerable One, her expression as if she wanted to devour her alive.
As a venerable celestial being, how could he possibly be frightened by Yu Lijing's gaze?
He looked at Yu Lijing calmly and confidently. What did she have to be afraid of?
The angrier Yu Lijing got, the happier she became.
The angrier she gets, the more confused she becomes, and the greater her chances of winning.
"I really don't understand what's so great about that person that makes the dignified Demon Lord of the Demon Realm lower himself and become so infatuated with him." The Venerable One, fearing that Yu Lijing's emotions weren't strong enough, added fuel to the fire.
The angrier Yu Lijin is, the better.
"It's just a pity that person wasn't lucky enough to be blinded and rejected the Demon Lord of the Demon Realm... tsk tsk tsk..." The Venerable One is quite "skilled" when he deliberately tries to annoy people.
"My Lord, please don't be angry. So much time has passed. That person was just a fool who couldn't recognize a gem in a mirror." The Venerable One "kindly" advised Yu Lijing, but her advice only made Yu Lijing tremble all over, her face turn pale, and her teeth grind loudly.
Suddenly, a flame erupted from behind Yu Lijing, and the blazing flame crackled several times on the nearest strange rock. The flickering flames showed that Yu Lijing was on the verge of emotional collapse.
Chapter 143 A Good Reason
This is exactly the effect His Majesty wants. Once Yu Lijing's mind is in turmoil, she can take advantage of the situation.
Flames flickered behind Yu Lijing, their size fluctuating, and waves of heat pounded against the surrounding strange rocks, leaving deep marks on them.
His Excellency did not rush to make a move, but waited for the most suitable opportunity.
Suddenly, the flames behind Yu Lijing stopped and then disappeared, and the scorching heat in the air vanished instantly, making the Venerable One very uncomfortable.
The surprised gaze lingered on Yu Lijing's face. Yu Lijing laughed, her face showing no trace of the anger she had just displayed, but rather the posture of a victor.
"My affairs are matters of the demon realm anyway. Your Majesty should take care of your own affairs in the immortal realm first." Yu Lijing looked at the Venerable with a smile. Seeing the fleeting surprise and subsequent anger in the Venerable's eyes, Yu Lijing smiled even more happily.
"It seems there are people in the Immortal Realm who disregard the rules of the Immortal Realm and want to marry for a man," Yu Lijing said venomously to the Venerable One.
How dare you laugh at her? Don't you even realize that the immortal realm isn't so clean?
