My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

"As for the successor of the leader, I don't care much. The leader may seem glamorous and powerful, but the position of leader is actually a kind of shackle, locking people on the altar."

Su Yue lowered her eyelids slightly. Her husband was very smart; he saw things more clearly than anyone else.

As he said, one's position determines what one does.

While it brings status and power, it also comes with shackles.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!

Just like her, although her status as the Holy Maiden of the Blood God Cult was dazzling and renowned throughout the world, she would rather not have it if she could.

Because of these identities, she would never have a peaceful day. She was also constantly worried that her enemies might come knocking on her door one day and hurt Qi Yu.

Maybe my husband's idea is right!

"Alright! Whatever you want to do, husband, I will support you!" Su Yue gently stroked Qi Yu's cheek and said softly.

Chapter 110 The Great Cauldron Dynasty

To the south of the Dayun Dynasty, there is a neighboring country called the Dading Dynasty.

At this moment, in the imperial palace of Jinshui, the capital of the Great Ding Dynasty, a middle-aged man looked at the young man kneeling in front of him with narrowed eyes.

The middle-aged man was the emperor of the Great Ding Dynasty, and kneeling at his feet was Chang Qi, the son of the head of the Chang family.

"The agreement your Chang family signed with me was to gain control of the Great Yun Dynasty, but you have failed. What makes you think I will abide by the agreement?"

Chang Qi raised his head and calmly said, "What if I told you that after the leader and Li Zhen, the Great Yun Dynasty would produce two more Grandmasters? What would Your Majesty choose?"

The emperor frowned, his eyes growing deep.

Taoism does not concern itself with state affairs; as long as the Great Yun Dynasty does not perish, they will not interfere.

But if it concerns the destruction of a country, then it's a different story.

Even their Great Ding Dynasty only has one Grandmaster. Two Grandmasters are already considered giants.

Just like the Blood God Cult now!

If two more Grandmasters emerge in the Great Yun Dynasty after the leader and Li Zhen, then the countries bordering the Great Yun Dynasty will become extremely dangerous.

Their Great Ding Dynasty's army could also surround and kill Grandmasters, but that was only in one-on-one situations.

When two or more grandmasters appear on the battlefield at the same time, they are basically invincible, and killing their soldiers is as easy as cutting leeks.

"Are you telling the truth? If you are lying, then you are guilty of deceiving the emperor, and you know the consequences!" the emperor said coldly.

Chang Qi remained expressionless and said, "Of course I know!"

The emperor's deep eyes reflected Chang Qi's figure. After a long while, he snorted coldly and turned to sit back on the dragon throne.

"Who are the other two grandmasters?"

“Emperor Li Muchen of the Great Yun Dynasty, and Qi Yu, the disciple of the sect leader!” Chang Qi said calmly.

The emperor of the Great Ding Dynasty frowned. He was not surprised that Li Muchen had become a grandmaster, because many years ago, Li Muchen was a genius with exceptional talent, which was why he was able to become emperor from among many princes.

He was given high hopes at the time, and was believed to be able to succeed Li Zhen and become the guardian of the Dayun Dynasty after Li Zhen passed away.

But this Qi Yu... I've never heard of him!

"Who is this Qi Yu?" the emperor of the Great Yun Dynasty asked.

“He is the disciple of the sect leader and the next sect leader of Taoism. At only twenty-one years old, he is already at the peak of the first rank. My grandfather, Chang Xuanqing, died at his hands!” Chang Qi said.

The emperor of the Great Ding Dynasty narrowed his eyes, and then a flash of murderous intent crossed his gaze.

He reached the first rank at the age of twenty-one and even killed a half-step grandmaster. Becoming a grandmaster was only a matter of time.

The emperor looked at Chang Qi and said indifferently, "I understand. I will keep my promise and bring the remaining members of your Chang family to the Great Ding Dynasty for protection."

Chang Qi knelt down and kowtowed, his gaze calm.

Before the autumn hunt, his father, Chang Wei, sensed something was wrong because the other families were behaving too obediently. Whatever the Chang family said, the other families did the same.

Something unusual must be going on, but Qi Yu was pressing them too hard, leaving them no time to find the truth, so they had no choice but to rebel.

However, his father had a backup plan: he sent him and some outstanding members of the clan out of the Great Yun Dynasty, leaving the Chang family with a way out.

It won't end up like the Su family a hundred years ago, with only one male heir left.

As it turns out, his father was right; otherwise, he might be dead by now.

From beginning to end, the Chang family had no chance of winning, because Emperor Li Muchen was using these aristocratic families to hone Li Ming and Li Qing.

From beginning to end, this was all part of Li Muchen's plan, including the fact that the Chang family was powerful, which was also Li Muchen's deliberate act.

From the moment Li Muchen came to power, he had been plotting to annihilate the Chang family, just like he had done to the Su family a hundred years ago.

In order to destroy the Chang family, Li Muchen used a strategy of retreat to advance, handing over the power of the Dayun Dynasty to the Chang family, which caused the Chang family to become arrogant and reckless.

At the same time, Li Muchen also used the Chang family to cultivate the next emperor, namely Li Ming and Li Qing.

Whoever destroys the Chang family will be qualified to become the next emperor.

I only came to understand these things on the day I left the Great Yun Dynasty.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

Moreover, even if they knew in advance, it wouldn't have mattered; the Chang family was undoubtedly going to be wiped out.

However, thanks to his father's premonition, the Chang family still had a glimmer of hope and was not truly wiped out.

As the current head of the Chang family, he has to do something!

So he came to the Great Ding Dynasty!

Over the years, the Chang family has maintained contact with the Great Ding Dynasty, and the Great Ding Dynasty has even secretly funded the Chang family's growth.

The Great Ding Dynasty's idea is easy to understand: to cultivate the Chang family, stir up trouble within the Great Yun Dynasty, weaken its internal strength, and then take the opportunity to move north to seek benefits.

The Chang family knew that the Great Ding Dynasty had ill intentions, but so what?

If the Great Yun Dynasty were to truly be ruled by the Chang family, they would be confident in their ability to confront it.

On the contrary, we still need the assistance of the Great Ding Dynasty at present; we'll deal with the future later.

In the end, all his efforts were in vain, and all his grand plans and ambitions vanished like bubbles.

If we can't get it, then let's destroy it!

He came to the Great Ding Dynasty with the intention of using its power to destroy the Great Yun Dynasty, wipe out the Li family, and avenge the Chang family members who died!

Chang Lian withdrew, while the emperor of the Great Ding Dynasty sat on the dragon throne, deep in thought.

After a while, he ordered his personal eunuch to bring him paper and pen and began to write something.

He wrote six sheets in total, stamped them with the imperial seal, handed them to the eunuch, and said something to him.

The emperor of the Great Ding Dynasty arrived in Chuanbian, looked north, and his eyes were as deep as an abyss.

The Great Yun Dynasty was mostly river plains, and although it often suffered from droughts and floods, it was indeed a good place.

At least in the Great Yun Dynasty, food was plentiful, and there were no cases of starvation.

The Great Yun Dynasty even had a surplus of grain, which it exported to neighboring countries.

In comparison, their Great Ding Dynasty was much inferior.

Even though they have a lot of arable land, it still can't compare to the Great Yun Dynasty.

Moreover, the most important river flows from the direction of Dayun Dynasty.

If the Dayun Dynasty were to spare no expense in building a canal to divert the river water, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Dading Dynasty.

Therefore, since the founding of the Great Ding Dynasty, there has been a constant conflict with the Great Yun Dynasty, and this is the reason.

If we can destroy the Dayun Dynasty in one fell swoop and incorporate it into the territory of the Dading Dynasty, then these problems will naturally be solved.

He has now figured out a way to destroy the Great Yun Dynasty!

The Great Ding Dynasty was not the only country that coveted the Great Yun Dynasty.

If one cannot destroy the Great Yun Dynasty by one's own strength, then one should unite with several others.

Even if the Great Yun Dynasty is powerful, can it really unite with these other families to become stronger?

So what if there are four grandmasters?

If they unite, they will have no fewer grandmasters than they ever have!

Chapter 111 Unchanged

Qi Yu returned to Jiangzhou City almost twenty days later, whereas it would normally have taken him half a month.

But Emperor Li Muchen insisted on sightseeing along the way, deliberately slowing down the journey, so it took twenty days.

After entering Lantian County, Li Muchen and Guan Yonghou parted ways with Qi Yu and did not travel to Jiangzhou City together.

Li Muchen simply said he was going to visit an acquaintance; there was no need to specify where he was going.

Qi Yu didn't know, but Su Yue did: Li Muchen was going to visit her father.

Su Chengying and Li Muchen knew each other when they were young and were very close; their relationship was complicated.

They were once so close that they would risk their lives for each other, which is why the conflicts that arose later became so irreconcilable.

This led Su Chengying to travel to the south, where he became the leader of the Blood God Sect.

Li Muchen could go if he wanted to, and Su Yue wasn't worried that Li Muchen would do anything to his parents.

Even if the headmaster and he joined forces, they might not be able to defeat his own father.

Moreover, it seems that Li Muchen has no intention of causing trouble; he is simply going to see an old friend.

Qin Xiyao and Lin Ruoxi also went to Tongyun City, but did not go to Jiangzhou City with Qi Yu and Su Yue.

The coachman was Li Muchen's man, so he left with Qi Yu, leaving Qi Yu to drive the car himself.

In the evening, they finally arrived in Jiangzhou City. After sending Su Yue back to her courtyard, Qi Yu drove to the east of the city.

Wang Defa's home is there, and he has to take Wang Defa back.
