……

Time flies, and another day and a half has passed.

After the first sneak attack failed, the opponent seemed to have gone quiet. There was no surprise attack the next day, which gave Ye Qingge a rare opportunity to practice her divine powers and techniques for a whole day.

After two days of practice, Ye Qingge had a thorough understanding of Su Qing'er's supernatural powers and techniques, and had also gained a deeper understanding of the Heavenly God Transformation move.

The first level of the Heavenly God Transformation allows one's combat power to leap a small realm. The fourth level of the Heavenly God Transformation is enough to give Ye Qingge the combat power of the third level of the Dao Realm. The eighth level is the fourth level of the Dao Realm. At the ninth level, she can even fight against the mid-stage of the fourth level of the Dao Realm, possessing a realm comparable to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven.

If they encounter attributes like Yin energy that are countered by divine power, this gap in realm can widen even further.

Unfortunately, Ye Qingge's Heavenly God Transformation has been stuck at the seventh level. Her maximum burst of strength can only barely reach the peak of the third level of the Dao Realm. She is still missing something if she wants to unlock a higher level of Heavenly God Transformation.

Besides, over the past two days, she has also come to a general guess about who she initially targeted.

Ye Qingge glanced at the table in front of her. On the paper on the table, she had written down the two most suspicious demons. They were the most suspicious beings she had identified based on the general information about the people inside the Great Sage Equaling Heaven that her maid had collected.

The maid's superior is the butler, and there is a staff member who is stationed in the side hall of the Demon Saint Palace.

Among the demons in the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's Demon Palace, the two most powerful and suspicious are these two demons.

Lost in thought, a knock came at the door. A maid carefully entered, carrying brand-new clothes, and said respectfully, "Miss, the Ten Thousand Demons Assembly is about to begin. Would you like me to help you change?"

"bring it on."

Ye Qingge stood up, conjured a ball of flame in her hand, and burned the paper. Suddenly, she asked, "Has the message I asked you to send out been disseminated?"

Chapter 30 The Gathering of the Nine Saints

"It's already been spread. But how much others will believe it, we don't know."

The maid's voice trembled slightly, whether from fear or excitement, it was hard to tell.

Ye Qingge glanced at her but didn't pay any attention. He said in a deep voice, "Help me change my clothes. Do you remember what I asked for in terms of clothing?"

The maid nodded emphatically, placed the formal spirit robe she had brought aside, and helped Ye Qingge take off her original clothes while nodding and saying, "I know, this spirit robe can conceal your aura, Miss. I specially selected it, and I believe it will suit you well."

After taking off her original clothes and changing into formal attire, Ye Qingge glanced at the full-length bronze mirror beside her; her aura had undergone a significant change.

If Ye Qingge originally appeared somewhat immature even when using Su Qing'er's body and impersonating an empress, she now exudes the aura of a true demon emperor princess or heavenly princess. As her maids add more ceremonial items and simple makeup to Ye Qingge's appearance, this aura becomes even more pronounced.

"However, this still doesn't meet the requirements!"

Ye Qingge looked at herself in the bronze mirror, pondered for a moment, and then gently patted her abdomen.

Ye Qingge's demonic energy was in disarray for a moment, but she quickly managed to clear it up. However, her face turned pale, like a patient who had not yet recovered from a serious injury. Combined with her original appearance, it was as if she was trying to hide her serious injury.

She had already discussed her plan with Su Qing'er and received Su Qing'er's approval. All she could hear in her mind was the girl's cry of pain. Ye Qingge comforted her for a few moments, and she quickly calmed down.

After carefully assessing the current situation and confirming that there were no problems, Ye Qingge nodded: "That's about right, let's go."

The maid kept her head down, not daring to look at Ye Qingge, pretending that she hadn't seen anything. Only when she heard Ye Qingge's words did she respond and guide Ye Qingge to the location of the Ten Thousand Demons Assembly.

This year's Ten Thousand Demons Assembly was more lively than ever before. When the Great Sage Equaling Heaven announced that there would be a major event that would determine the future of the demon race, almost half of the powerful beings of the demon race arrived. The meeting place was set up on the largest central square in the Demon Saint Palace, which was not far from Ye Qingge's palace. However, after going through twists and turns, it still took nearly half an hour to walk to the central square.

After walking for more than ten minutes under the guidance of the maid, Ye Qingge suddenly stopped.

They were walking down a relatively secluded corridor to shorten their time to the conference. However, as soon as they stepped into the corridor, Ye Qingge could clearly sense an unknown change occurring around her.

There was a pair of unseen eyes watching over me.

"Has it finally arrived?"

Ye Qingge chuckled inwardly, but remained outwardly calm and continued walking forward.

Ye Qingge had only taken a few steps when the world before her suddenly changed. A chilling killing intent enveloped her, and even the maid beside her was affected, trembling and looking around in terror.

Only Ye Qingge remained calm and walked forward.

Ten minutes later

Ye Qingge left the corridor, her eight fox tails floating in the air behind her. She held a small spirit ring in her hand, which contained a small space of about ten square meters, filled with many good things.

The tails swayed in mid-air for a moment, and among the eight tails, a slightly shorter ninth tail could be vaguely seen hidden away. Within a few breaths of leaving the corridor, they disappeared one by one, as if they had never existed.

Playing with the spirit ring, Ye Qingge smiled slightly: "It's finally a success. Now, all we have to do is wait for the official start!"

……

……

The Great Assembly of Ten Thousand Demons was scheduled to begin at noon. It was currently 11 a.m., and the assembly had not yet commenced inside the palace. However, outside the Demon Saint Palace, in the city of Shengping, named after the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, demons had already gathered and were holding a series of small banquets. The entire demon city was filled with a festive atmosphere.

"It seems that Ping Tian has been living quite comfortably these days."

A demon with a dragon's head and a human body sat cross-legged on the bed in the imperial carriage, looking at the scene around the imperial carriage reflected in a full-length bronze mirror as tall as himself, and couldn't help but sigh.

In terms of territory management, he was far inferior to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. As fellow demon saints, he thought of the appearance of his own demon saint city and then looked at the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's demon saint city, and for a moment he did not know how to describe it.

There's simply no comparison!

As he was filled with emotion, an elderly man dressed in extraordinary attire suddenly entered the imperial carriage and respectfully bowed, saying, "Reporting to the Great Sage, we have successfully ascertained the true nature of the little princess that the Great Sage Pingtian found. She was indeed seriously injured by the steward's sneak attack."

A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the Dragon-Headed Demon Saint: "Is the news true?"

The old man's voice was firm: "It is absolutely true. This old servant specially separated a divine soul clone and used a Dao artifact to bypass the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's perception to go and investigate. He does indeed appear to be seriously injured."

The Dragon-Headed Demon Saint suddenly stood up from his seat, paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, and after a while, he suddenly turned around and asked, "How confident are you of your success?"

The old man wore a confident smile: "A heavily injured Dao Realm Level 2 demon can be dealt with in ten minutes at most. I'm 100% confident I can take him down!"

The Dragon-Headed Demon Saint said fiercely, "Since that's the case, let's just do it... I'm really looking forward to seeing what it will be like when that old fellow Ping Tian announces the news, only to find that the demon is already dead!"

He sneered repeatedly: "He refused the Heavenly Court's offer of amnesty back then, but this time, we'll make him look like a fool in front of all the demons!"

"For this mission, you will take ten demon clan disciples from the Heavenly Court's array palace to infiltrate the Great Sage of Heaven's Demon Saint Palace. Remember to act swiftly and decisively, and ensure that all information is kept secret. There must be absolutely no accidents."

The old man respectfully replied, "This old servant understands."

After giving a few more instructions, the dragon-headed demon waved his hand, dismissing the old man to go and carry out his duties. Only after the old man left did a hint of joy appear on his face: "In the six months since the Heavenly Court offered amnesty, many of my demons have entered the Heavenly Court Academy to study and learn the advanced techniques of the Heavenly Court's formations and palaces."

“That old fellow Ping Tian has always been closed off from the old ways. The formations in the Demon Saint Palace are outdated and obsolete. With his skills, if there were no special circumstances, he might disappear for several days and not be discovered... Let him see what technological suppression is. Not to mention a little girl at the second level of the Dao Realm being seriously injured, even a fully recovered demon god at the third level of the Dao Realm can be easily suppressed and killed!”

"Once this matter is resolved, we'll definitely be able to extort a good sum of money from the new Heavenly Emperor!"

He couldn't wait to see the expression on the Monkey King's face when the time came.

Compared to the steward, he trusted his own people more. The old man from before was someone he had raised since childhood and had been implanted with a special slave mark, giving him a unique bloodline advantage in seeing through illusions. He could distrust the steward's information within the Great Sage of Heaven Palace, but he would not trust the old man's.

As a demon saint, one must naturally have one's own aura. The holy carriage traveled for nearly half an hour before arriving at the demon saint palace on time.

"The Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas has arrived!"

Amidst the shouts of the ceremonial officials, he stepped down from the imperial carriage, bypassed the central palace square, and went straight to the highest Demon Saint Hall.

The demon race has a strict hierarchy. The central palace square is home to the most numerous but also the lowest-ranking demon kings, whose quality varies greatly, ranging from the first to the second level of the Dao Realm. Further inside, in the outer hall of the Demon Saint Hall, is the gathering place for the demon gods. Above that is the Demon Saint Hall, where the great saints of the demon race participate in the grand assembly.

When he arrived at the entrance of the Demon Saint Palace, eight great saints of the demon race were already waiting there.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven was holding a wine cup and chatting happily with the other seven Great Sages of the Demon Clan when he saw the Great Sage with the Dragon Head arrive. He then laughed and stepped forward to greet him, saying heartily, "Overturning Sea, that's not fair of you. You were the last to arrive, so you have to drink three cups of wine as a penalty. Otherwise, it won't be fair."

The Dragon-Headed Demon Saint smiled slightly, skillfully went to his seat, picked up his wine cup, exchanged a few polite words, and then left.

Setting down his wine cup, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's expression suddenly turned serious: "Fu Hai has arrived, and almost all the demons have gathered. In that case, it's time to get to the main topic of this Ten Thousand Demons Gathering!"

Sitting down, a female demon saint dressed in a fiery red formal suit smiled and said, "I wonder what your purpose is in convening this Ten Thousand Demons Assembly this time, Ping Tian. The Ten Thousand Demons Assembly is usually held once every ten years, and we would not participate in an ordinary one. If it weren't for your personal call for important matters, we would not have gathered here at all. I wonder what major news is worth our personal attendance, and what will affect the entire demon race?"

Many demon gods and demon kings turned their gazes toward it, their faces filled with anticipation.

As the female demon saint said, although the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering is called the Ten Thousand Demons Gathering, not so many demons would actually come together. If the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had not personally announced that there was an important matter, not so many demons would have put aside their own affairs to come and participate in this event.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven said solemnly, "As you all know, half a year ago the new Heavenly Emperor announced to the world that the late Emperor had been killed by Consort Su."

The Dragon-Headed Demon Saint coughed lightly and said, "Ping Tian, ​​it might be inappropriate to discuss this matter at this time."

"What if I said that what I'm about to announce happens to be related to this matter?" The Great Sage Equaling Heaven's voice was calm, but the content it contained was extremely shocking.

Only a few demons knew that Su Qing'er had come under the command of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. Even the various Demon Saints might not be fully aware of this, let alone other demon races. When the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's voice came, it successfully shocked many demons below. Countless demons were secretly exchanging whispers, discussing the meaning behind the Great Sage Equaling Heaven's words.

A light drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky, and fluffy clouds gathered, making the air inexplicably oppressive, as if a great storm was about to arrive.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven sneered and waved his hand. The array patterns in the entire Demon Saint Palace shone brightly, forming a light screen in mid-air that blocked out the rain.

He took a deep breath, took out a small bracelet, and calmly said, "I have obtained a piece of evidence that can prove that the late emperor was not murdered by Consort Su."

bang

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly ripped through the sky, and countless leaden clouds filled the entire sky, shrouding the Demon Saint Palace in an unprecedentedly oppressive atmosphere.

Chapter 31: Identity Revealed, Struggle for the Heavenly Emperor

An oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire Demon Saint Palace. All the demons present felt a terrifying pressure descending from the sky. Even though the Demon Saint Palace's formations had withstood most of the pressure, their faces still turned pale.

As a demon saint at the fourth level of the Dao Realm, the Great Sage Pingtian sensed more than other demons. He could clearly feel that several majestic and vast wills had appeared in the sky, locking onto the Demon Saint Palace and watching the scene from across countless distances.

Inside the Demon Saint Palace, the Dragon-headed Great Sage Overturning the Sea frowned slightly and said, "Ping Tian, ​​this matter is not something my demon race can interfere with. By bringing this up now, are you trying to put my demon race in a deadly situation?"

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven sneered repeatedly: "Trapped in a deadly situation? Is it not the fault of my demon race? Someone wants to shift the blame onto the Demon Emperor, how can it not be the fault of my demon race? And the evidence we have today was not obtained by me, but was brought to our door by the Demon Emperor and the late Emperor's descendants. That is why I am doing what I am doing today."

He addressed all the demons, his voice calm yet powerful: "When the Demon Emperor was alive, he widely opened schools and spread cultivation techniques, giving our demon race the opportunity to rise. I myself grew up under the Demon Emperor's tutelage. Which of you demon kings, demon gods, or even demon saints present here has not received the favor of His Majesty the Demon Emperor!"

"Now that the descendants of the Demon Emperor have come to our door with evidence, how can I, the Holy One, be an ungrateful wretch? How can the demon race forget the Demon Emperor's achievements? We must seek justice for His Majesty the Demon Emperor!"

His voice grew louder and louder. At first, it only echoed within the Demon Saint Palace, but eventually it covered the entire Holy Peace City, and even in more distant places, the voice of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven could be faintly heard.

In an instant, the demons within the Demon Saint Palace began to stir. At first, they only communicated with each other through telepathy, but gradually they started to talk in hushed tones.

"Your Majesty, when you were at your peak, you taught and guided most of the demon race. I was also enlightened when I heard the Demon Emperor preach once when I was a little demon, and I gradually became the Demon King."

"It is said that when the Demon Emperor attained enlightenment, the Heavenly Court of the Supreme Emperor had just been established. It was a chaotic era. The first Heavenly Emperor of the previous Heavenly Court reached an unprecedented level and left the Heavenly Court. The subsequent Heavenly Emperors were not capable enough, and several generations of Heavenly Emperors were replaced in succession, thus plunging the Heavenly Court into chaos for tens of thousands of years."

"The First Heavenly Emperor, who founded the Heavenly Court, died from his injuries before he could establish a title. The second Heavenly Emperor, also known as the Old Heavenly Emperor, established the title of the Supreme Heavenly Court. It was during this time that the Demon Emperor rose to power, spreading his teachings and making the demon race flourish. Although he could not compare with the Heavenly Court, he still made the Heavenly Court dare not rashly attack the demon race."

"Afterwards, the Heavenly Emperor discussed the matter with the Demon Emperor and ultimately decided to take the Demon Emperor as his imperial concubine, which finally brought peace to our demon race and the Heavenly Court..."

The term "Demon Emperor" is familiar to every demon!

When the Great Sage Equaling Heaven brought up the news of the Demon Emperor's successor, all the demons could no longer remain calm.

"Where is Your Highness? May we be allowed to see Your Highness's face?"

The Great Sage Who Overturns the Seas took a deep breath, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, but his heart was already excited, just waiting to see how the Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven would react when he discovered that Su Qing'er had been attacked and killed.

At that time, the reputation of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven will definitely suffer a huge blow, while he will be praised by the Heavenly Emperor, and his reputation and power will rise to a new level!
