Primordial Emperor Xihuang

Chapter 162 Covert Struggle

Beyond the Great Chun Domain, a turquoise waterfall of light rippled and spread out in layers. Fuxi emerged from the waterfall of light, and the wisps of turquoise mist that had been wrapped around his body slowly disappeared.

The moment Fuxi stepped out of the Great Chun Domain, a cold expression appeared on his face. Fuxi had acted somewhat arrogantly in the Great Chun Domain because he had obtained the Azure Dragon Smoke and was confident that the Great Chun Wood could not kill him.

Moreover, Fuxi also hoped to take the lead in this transaction. The Great Chunmu is the ancestral wood of the Great Dao, and in terms of rank and power, it is comparable to the Hunyuan Daluo Daojun.

The Great Chunmu looked down on Fuxi, a cultivator at the Taiyi realm, from the bottom of its heart. Therefore, Fuxi had to act extremely powerfully in order to arouse the Great Chunmu's fear.

In addition, the Azure Dragon Smoke that Fuxi possessed gave him the right to speak with the Great Chunmu on equal terms, and also enabled the Great Chunmu to forge an equal oath of heaven with Fuxi.

A wisp of azure light flew out from the boundless waterfall of light behind Fuxi and transformed into a leaf of interwoven green and yellow in Fuxi's palm.

After tucking the leaf into his sleeve, Fuxi glanced back at the Great Chun Domain behind him, then transformed into a rainbow and flew towards the location of the Xuan Yin Demon Palace's mountain gate.

After a thousand years, Fuxi returned to the top of Zhuxie Mountain. The Tongtian Stone Gate opened, and Fuxi stepped through it, returning to Tianming Peak.

In the main hall behind the mountain, Fuxi met Qixu and Kebu. Seeing the smile on Qixu's face, Fuxi also smiled: "I have not failed in my mission. Ten thousand years later, Xuanze will lead three thousand elite disciples of the Xuanyin Demon Palace to the vicinity of the Nine Absolute Suspended Heaven."

"We are just waiting for your command, Master, and then Xuanze will lead the army into the Nine Absolute Suspended Heaven."

"Of course, Xuanze also made demands of the Xuan Yin Demon Palace. The Xuan Yin Demon Palace wants the twelve sources of turbid qi that we control, as well as all the Xuanmen inheritances, magic treasures and spiritual medicines that we obtained after we wiped out the Divine Dao Taiyin Sect."

"Furthermore, Xuanze wants me to transfer one-tenth of the fortune of my Nine Nether Demon Palace to the fortune of the Xuan Yin Demon Palace."

Fuxi recounted the conditions of the calamity he had fabricated to Qixu one by one. Kebu, who was standing to the side, looked surprised as he listened to the conditions proposed by the Xuan Yin Demon Palace. Compared to the White Bone Demon Palace, the conditions proposed by the Xuan Yin Demon Palace were much more demanding.

"Xuanze certainly dares to ask for it!"

Qi Xu's face revealed a cold expression. He was furious at Xuan Ze's outrageous demands, but he also knew that Xuan Ze was doing this on purpose.

Xuanze made such harsh conditions because he knew that Xuan Yin Demon Palace would have to agree to his demands.

"Once I seize power in the Nine Nether Demon Palace, all these scum will die!"

Qixu doesn't care about the other people in the Nine Nether Demon Palace or the so-called fate of heaven and earth, but he won't allow anyone to dare to be above him.

Xuanze's audacity in demanding such an exorbitant price demonstrates his complete disregard for Qixu's attitude, infuriating Qixu. Qixu has already decided that after unifying the Nine Nether Demon Palace, the Xuan Yin Demon Palace will be the first demon palace he intends to eliminate.

Fuxi looked at Qixu, whose expression was extremely gloomy, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Take this opportunity to vent your anger one last time."

Ke Bu, standing to the side, felt a bad premonition as he looked at Fu Xi, who was smiling. When Fu Xi looked over, Ke Bu forcibly suppressed his unease and returned a stiff smile.

Turning around, Ke Bu's face had become solemn: "Something is not right. Even if Xuan Ze saw the chaos within my Nine Nether Demon Palace, he shouldn't have made such harsh conditions. There might be some problems with what Yuan Yang said before."

A look of struggle crossed Ke Bu's face. He glanced at Qi Xu, whose expression was ferocious and whose body was writhing with demonic flames, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes: "I can't go to my death with a madman..."

Fuxi glanced at Kebu and noticed the rapid changes in Kebu's soul consciousness, a smile appearing in his eyes.

"Sect Leader, I wonder when we should make our move. I'm worried that Keqi will also send people to seek outside help. I think the former Sect Leader should also be able to sense something is amiss."

The fierce look in Qixu's eyes intensified. He glanced at Fuxi and sneered, "Of course he realized that the three of us have banded together, and he has also sent people away from Nine Absolute Suspended Heaven."

"But this person has a petty streak in everything he does. Instead of sending Di Jue to find outside help, he sent three Golden Immortals. These three people were killed by my men the moment they left the Nine Absolute Suspended Heaven."

Qixu let out a mocking laugh, clearly finding it laughable that Keqi had only sent three Golden Immortals to find outside help.

Fuxi looked at Qixu without speaking. Keqi knew that Fuxi was on his side and that she had already surpassed Qixu in absolute power.

Therefore, Fuxi guessed that the three Golden Immortals who went out were not actually looking for outside help, but were just putting on a show to dispel Qixun's suspicions. Furthermore, these three Golden Immortals were very likely not even among Keqi's own people.

"The White Bone Demon Palace needs 20,000 years to prepare. After 20,000 years, once the White Bone Demon Palace and the Profound Yin Demon Palace are fully prepared, you will join me in storming the Heavenly Nether Palace, slaying Keqi, and helping me to completely seize power in the Nine Netherworld!"

A look of impatience flashed in Qi Hu's eyes. His voice was hoarse, his facial muscles twitched, and an exaggerated and distorted smile stretched across his lips.

Looking at Qixu at this moment, Fuxi frowned. Qixu's state seemed a bit off. Even if Qixu's state of mind was already unbalanced, as a powerful being at the Taiyi realm, Qixu couldn't always be in this unbalanced state.

Before Fuxi and Qixu arrived at the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Qixu behaved perfectly normally. However, after entering the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Qixu's personality seemed to have changed completely.

Are there any unexpected developments?

Fuxi looked at Qixu, his eyes flashing with a bright red lust. Looking at Qixu's brow and chest, Fuxi's pupils contracted slightly, but he remained silent.

Twenty thousand years passed in the blink of an eye, and the situation inside the Nine Nether Demon Palace became increasingly tense.

At this time, even the lower-level disciples within the Demon Palace noticed that the friction between the higher-ups, or rather, between the two major camps of Qixu and Keqi, was becoming more and more frequent, and cultivators and disciples who frequented the two camps would disappear silently from time to time.

Others didn't know what was going on, but Fuxi knew that Qixu and Keqi were taking this opportunity to eliminate their rivals.

All those within the Nine Nether Demon Palace who wavered and refused to choose between the two camps were jointly killed by Qixu and Keqi.
