When I become a demon king, I want to change my department to the Taoist sect.

Chapter 904 The oriole is behind
Therefore, when Zhou Qingyun realized that the Zhou family intended to take action against her, she immediately told Ao Li the whole story.

Zhou Qingyun rose from a small-town girl to become the top student in the Daoist academy, then entered the Three Immortal Islands, and eventually became a true disciple of the sect. Her greatest strength was her principle of preparing for everything in advance.

Because she planned every step she took and anticipated all possible unexpected events, she was able to proceed steadily and without experiencing any earth-shattering crises, thus achieving her current success.

As the saying goes, "If you are prepared, you will succeed; if you are not prepared, you will fail."

To bravely confront seemingly insurmountable dangers, pinning one's hopes on a last-minute breakthrough, or to knowingly ignore the impending crisis and passively respond to it—these are all behaviors that demonstrate one's passive approach.

In Zhou Qingyun's view, neither of these actions were those of a wise person. Perhaps they could succeed once or twice by relying on so-called divine will, but if they continued to follow this path, they would surely suffer disaster.

Its long-term expected value must be negative.

If you lose a bet even once, you will die and your soul will be scattered.

Therefore, if it weren't for Ao Li as a backup plan, Zhou Qingyun had already prepared herself to stay in Shen Zhimei's or Luo Zhi's cave even if the Zhou family manipulated the registration office to expel her from the sect, and wait until she had refined all her luck and her cultivation was beyond the reach of others before she would leave the mountain.

It must be said that, in just talking about the "turtle" and "yin" paths, Zhou Qingyun really does have a bit of the feeling of being personally taught by Tang Yuan.

As for Ao Li, after breaking down Zhou Ou's defenses with a few words, she turned her attention to Quan Hong.

The merging of the Demon Abyss Merfolk and the Northern Frontier Demon Sect can be considered one of the major events of the past millennium.

The strength of the merfolk in the Boundless Sea Demon Abyss is considered first-rate among the many forces in the Earthly Immortal Realm, and is even stronger than the merfolk scattered throughout the four seas.

After all, the Chiwen took away the most elite group of bloodlines back then, and with the double enhancement of the Nine Nether Demon Qi and the Chiwen Divine Domain, their racial values ​​were raised by two levels.

Although the Nine Netherworlds' demonization will cause living beings to become distorted and corrupted, becoming increasingly bizarre and grotesque, it is indeed a tenfold enhancement.

The common saying that demonization is ten times stronger is not entirely unfounded; otherwise, many people who are nearing the end of their lives would not have risked their lives to fall into the demonic path.

Although there are no Dao Lord-level beings among the Merfolk of the Demon Abyss, they are not lacking in primordial spirits, numbering at least five.

More importantly, merfolk have the ability to control sea beasts. The boundless sea is endless and unfathomable, and it also has gaps connecting to the Netherworld. No one knows how many giant sea beasts comparable to primordial spirits exist within it.

In the past, when Yunmeng Pavilion traded with the Northern Frontier, it had to pay some tolls to the merfolk of the Demon Abyss. Moreover, despite being adjacent to the Northern Frontier Demon Sect for many years, it had never provided them with supplies, which is enough to prove the strength of this race.

Especially after Chiwen Mengling was resurrected from the Nine Netherworlds, the merfolk of the Demon Abyss had a powerful backer.

Even though that one is in the Nine Netherworlds, because he was only recently corrupted by demons in this era, his connection with the Earthly Immortal Realm is closer than that of other Nine Netherworld Demon Lords. He can still send down power and blessings through the gaps.

Perhaps for this reason, the Demon Abyss Mermaids suddenly joined forces with the Nine Netherworld Path to completely seal off the Daoist sect in the boundless sea.

After all, the Demon Lord who fell into the Nine Netherworlds was born to be the founder of the Nine Netherworld Path.

Of course... the patriarch regards his disciples and grand-disciples as resources, and his students and disciples covet the patriarch's destiny, which can be considered a fine tradition of the Nine Netherworld Path.

However, the merger of the two has indeed brought about a great impact. The Demonic Sect, which was originally trapped in the Northern Frontier, can now use the Boundless Sea to infiltrate the East Sea and various parts of the Central Plains.

"Why not just stay home and guard your own little corner of the world? Why insist on colluding with the demonic sect and even becoming their vanguard?"

Ao Li asked in confusion, "You still dare to attack our sect's disciples? Do you think that the Three Immortal Islands, having not fought for a thousand years, are invincible?" Quan Hong raised his hands and replied sheepishly, "How could a nobody like me make such a decision? I was merely following orders. Since no damage has been caused, how about we part ways here?"

"You continue to handle the affairs of the sect; it's not appropriate for me to interfere any further."

As he spoke, he attempted to flee into the water.

"Don't move."

Ao Li lightly waved her sleeve, and the Xuanming True Water tightened even more, with the dense white frost gradually spreading to Quan Hong's body.

"Tell me about this passage. Explain everything clearly, and I might consider letting you go," Ao Li said coldly, her face expressionless. "If I'm not mistaken, this passage hasn't been closed for just a day or two, has it?"

"And what are those merfolk you just captured, what are they plotting?"

"Sigh." Quan Hong sighed, "Why must you press me so hard, fellow Daoist? You ask why my clan is fighting for the Demonic Sect, but as a member of the Dragon Clan, aren't you also serving the Daoist Sect?"

"Compared to them, our two races are actually closer. Since that's the case, why not leave some room for each other?"

"Not much skill, but quite the boast." Ao Li also became interested. "It seems you still have some trump cards up your sleeve. Why don't you show them to me and see if they're enough to make me back down?"

Quan Hong slowly lowered his hands and said in a serious tone, "It's alright if you don't believe me, fellow Daoist. You'll see the truth in the future. Just don't blame me for not reminding you then."

“If I could, I would naturally not want to be enemies with the Three Immortal Islands, but in the eyes of those adults,” he pointed to Cui Qingchuan and Zhou Leng, “what difference is there between you and me and them? We are just slightly larger ants, how can we control our own destiny?”

"Therefore, if we want to survive in this cruel world, shouldn't all the ants in the world help each other?"

Before she could finish speaking, Ao Li suddenly sensed something, turned around, first grabbing Zhou Qingyun and the others into her sleeve, and then instantly teleported a thousand miles away like a bolt of lightning!

At the same time, the place where he had just been standing was now shrouded in countless sword shadows and cold light.

A young man in a green robe stood on the void, his fingers pointing like a halberd, and a sword box was on his back. He was a very rare sword cultivator!

Seeing that the surprise attack had failed, the newcomer waved his hand slightly and returned the flying swords one by one to the sword box. The sword box looked small, but it held all nine flying swords inside, which was quite extraordinary.

Pure sword cultivators are mostly divided into two categories: one is the Extreme Sword lineage, which focuses on cultivating only one sword in their lifetime, and the other is the Sword Formation lineage, which focuses on wielding the sword like an array.

This young man in the blue robe is now clearly a rarer example of the latter!
The newcomer gave Quan Hong a displeased look, "If you hadn't alerted her just now, my sword formation would have already trapped her."

"I also wanted to cooperate with you, but this little dragon was too perceptive and sensed something was wrong," Quan Hong explained, spreading his hands.

The young man in the blue robe still wanted to argue, but was stopped by the white-haired old man beside him: "Alright, since we have come here for one matter, why bother with this argument?"

Two more Yang Gods arrived together.

The old man looked at Ao Li sincerely and said, "Fellow Daoist, there is no need to struggle. Apart from the two of us, there are two more primordial spirits from the Demonic Sect and our clan who have arrived here."

"This plan concerns our grand strategy. The clan has made thorough preparations. With the merfolk of this city and several outstanding talents from our clans accompanying you in death, you can be considered to have died a worthy death."
