Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

"Young master."

"Elder Qinglin will not tolerate you."

"I suspect he's planning to secretly harm you."

"Please be careful."

Su Chen chuckled upon hearing this.

He didn't respond to Yue Li's words, but simply reached out and picked up another fruit.

This is a powder keg of infighting within the demon race.

I am like a spark that fell from the sky.

It seems there's no way to escape it, even if you want to.

...

Su Chen was left hanging for a full week.

It wasn't until morning that two demon cultivators found Su Chen.

They said the elders had invited them.

The demon clan's main hall was so powerful that its demonic aura could be seen rising into the sky from a great distance.

In the center of the main hall, there was a throne made of animal bones.

The old demon king still didn't come.

Su Chen was led by two demon cultivators and stood in the center of the hall.

All around, stood the leaders of the demon race, both large and small.

All eyes were fixed on Su Chen.

Su Chen, on the other hand, was at ease, with his hands behind his back, looking around.

It would be a lie to say I'm not worried at all.

But Su Chen has figured it out in the past few days.

If the demon race were so easy to kill, why wait until today?

It's pretty certain that the princess is standing here.

The fact that the old demon king didn't express his opinion clearly meant that he didn't want to take action against him.

It won't be so easy for others to mess with me.

From the beams of the main hall hung lamps made of demon cores, which glowed dimly.

"Elder!"

Elder Qinglin stepped forward first.

A fierce glint appeared in that single eye.

"This human brat has infiltrated the heart of my demon city to spy on my clan's secrets."

"They're clearly spies sent by the humans!"

Elder Qinglin flicked his sleeve, and the bluish-gray hard scales rustled.

"In my opinion, this scoundrel should be taken to the execution platform."

"Kill him, and use him as a sacrifice for the flag!"

"This will also boost the prestige of my pro-war faction!"

This statement came out.

The pro-war demon cultivators inside the hall all chimed in.

"Kill him!"

"Sacrifice the flag!"

The sound waves grew louder and louder, shaking even the demon pill lamps on the beams.

Those who advocated for peace shrank back, daring not to speak out against their anger.

Su Chen stood in the middle, not even lifting his eyelids.

But he was thinking about it in his heart.

This green scale.

He claimed he was avenging his dead clansmen.

In reality, he wanted to use his own head to establish the authority of the pro-war faction.

Their plan to kill two birds with one stone was executed flawlessly.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, a figure blocked Su Chen's path.

It is Yue Li.

"Elder Qinglin."

Yue Li raised her chin.

"This young master is my savior."

"The battle at Tian Shu Star City had absolutely nothing to do with him."

"If you intend to execute him as a sacrifice to the flag, you'll have to ask me first!"

Elder Qinglin sneered.

"Princess."

"What kind of bewitching potion did this human brat give you?"

"They actually went against their own elders for the sake of an outsider."

Before he could finish speaking...

Elder Qinglin suddenly released the oppressive aura that was comparable to that of a Void Refinement cultivator.

The oppressive force, like a mountain, pressed straight down on Yue Li.

Yue Li was only at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

Her little face turned pale instantly.

A breath caught in my throat, stuck in my chest, unable to come up or go down.

Her slender body swayed twice before she managed to steady herself.

It was clear that Yue Li was about to collapse.

Su Chen smiled and looked at Elder Qinglin.

"Elder Qinglin."

"Using revenge as a way to raise a flag, that sounds nice."

Su Chen shook his head.

"But your little tricks can only fool these simpletons in the palace."

"You're not here to avenge your dead clansmen."

Su Chen took two steps forward.

"You want to use this battle to amplify the momentum of your pro-war stance."

"So that you can seize control of this demon city and put it in your own hands."

To put it bluntly...

Su Chen curled the corners of his lips into a smile.

"Using public office to settle personal scores and seizing power through war."

Am I right?

These words were spoken.

The entire hall fell silent for a moment.

Elder Qinglin's single eye suddenly narrowed.

"You...you're spouting nonsense!"

"Making baseless accusations?"

Su Chen chuckled.

He wasn't annoyed; he put his hands behind his back and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"OK."

Even if we don't mention your little scheme...

"Let's talk about whether we can take Tian Shu Star City."

Su Chen's gaze swept over the demonic faces in the hall.

"I'm afraid you all don't know this yet."

"The city of Tian Shu Star has changed drastically."

"Why do you say that?"

Within the peace faction, a white-haired demon elder couldn't help but ask a question.

This was exactly the question Su Chen had been waiting for.

"Do you know someone named Master Hongfu?"

The hall was filled with demon cultivators, who looked at each other in bewilderment.

A look of utter bewilderment on his face.

"have no idea?"

Su Chen was not surprised.

"Then I'll tell you."

"This Venerable Hong Fu had already entered the Integration Realm a thousand years ago."

The words "merge" were uttered.

The old demons inside the hall all changed their expressions.

The demon race lives a long time and has extensive knowledge.

They knew better than anyone the weight of those two words, "merger."

"That's right, it's a combination."

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, moving slowly.

"A thousand years ago, she wanted to ascend to the Spirit Realm, but the cultivators of that Spirit Realm placed a restriction on her, trapping her for a full thousand years."

"Now, she's out of trouble."

"With a single kick, he crushed the mountain gate of the number one sect in Tian Shu Star City."

"Overnight, the Starry Sky Dao Sect, which was openly active, and the Star Luo Sect, which was secretly active, were all gone."

"Both giants have bowed down and submitted."

Su Chen paused.

"This is the Xuanhuang Continent now."

"Don't even mention your demon race."

"Even the human race itself, they all keep a low profile, afraid of disturbing that true Buddha."

"All sects and forces submitted to him."

Su Chen shrugged.

"At this time, you excitedly ran off to attack Tian Shu Star City."

"That's right under the nose of Master Hongfu."

"This isn't about seeking revenge."

Su Chen grinned.

"This is clearly Elder Qinglin, who is leading all the young men of your demon race to deliver vegetables to someone else."

"Elder Qinglin."

"Don't you think that makes sense?"

A few words.

A needle hidden in cotton.

Elder Qinglin's face turned pale and then flushed as he spoke.

His lips trembled for a long time.

They couldn't refute it with a single word.

Upon hearing this, the demon cultivators who advocated peace inside the hall immediately perked up.

"The princess's benefactor is absolutely right!"

"With a powerful being at the Fusion Realm in command, starting a war now would be tantamount to suicide!"

"Absolutely not!"

The morale of the peace faction was immediately boosted by Su Chen's words.

The Elder Qinglin stared intently at Su Chen with his single eye.

"A human child..."

"That's interesting."

After saying this, Su Chen frowned.

This grudge...

That's it, it's over.

In this way...

This made it even more difficult for Elder Qinglin to attack Su Chen.

If something were to happen to Su Chen at this time...

This made Elder Qinglin seem guilty and eager to seize all power.

Su Chen returned to the Dragon Bone Residence, and this time Yue Li spent all her days with him.

I brewed a cup of tea for Su Chen.

Su Chen held the teacup and warmed his hands.

"Young master, you've avenged me."

Yue Li sat down to the side, resting her chin on her hand.

...
