From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

Xiao Minghuang's eyes flickered as he listened silently.

She didn't know why the Demon Emperor turned against his wife and daughter, but in this cursed land of Southern Wilderness, she would not be surprised by anything that happened.

Xiao Minghuang did not ask, and Zuixian Jushi was a little surprised. She explained: "In the beginning, the Red Dust Demon Way practiced by the Demon Emperor was actually a way of integrating practice into ordinary life. Rather than calling it the Demon Way, it was just because it was a Taoist school founded by Southern Wilderness cultivators, so they habitually gave it this name."

"To practice this way, you don't need any special methods. As long as you return to your true self and live your life according to your heart, you will gradually improve your cultivation."

Xiao Minghuang frowned, vaguely guessing something in her mind, but she didn't say anything.

Having said this, Zuixian Jushi paused and continued, "Later, the way the Demon Emperor practiced could be called the true way of the devil!"

"As far as I know, the essence of this inheritance is that it requires a person who can connect with the cause and effect of one's mind. When the opportunity comes, one kills this person and one's realm will advance by leaps and bounds!"

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with sadness, and she said sadly: "This person is called the Red Dust Road Icon...Back then, this person was my mother. Now, this person is me..."

Xiao Minghuang's heart contracted slightly. Although she had long guessed that the Demon Emperor practiced the true evil magic, she never expected that he would actually massacre her wife and daughter!

Seeing the hatred surging in Zuixian Hermit's eyes, she felt a chill in her heart. How could a human being be so cruel!

Although Zuixian Jushi did not say it explicitly, Xiao Minghuang could infer that the Demon Emperor must have been able to attain enlightenment and become emperor after killing his beloved, his first wife.

The Drunken Immortal Hermit’s face was pale and full of sadness. He murmured, “Before it was my mother, now it’s my turn. I am the last person in the world who has a relationship with him. If he kills me, I’m afraid he will become an immortal right away…”

"Since you know that the Demon Emperor will kill you sooner or later, why do you work for him?"

Although Xiao Minghuang felt disgusted by the Demon Emperor's behavior, since these words came from the mouth of Zuixian Jushi alone, she did not believe them immediately based on the principle that a single piece of evidence does not count.

"Of course it's for revenge!"

Zuixian Jushi sneered, his expression was extremely cold, as if he had turned into an ice sculpture, "The Demon Emperor is too powerful. If I rely on my own strength, there will be no hope of revenge for eternity. But if I have a powerful external aid, then everything will be different."

Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly and said, "The foreign aid you are talking about is Emperor Dongji?"

"no!"

Zuixianjushi shook his head, looked at Xiao Minghuang, and said seriously: "The foreign aid I'm talking about is you!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Zuixian Jushi said: "You are the protagonist of this era. If anyone can..."

"Me?" Xiao Minghuang was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

As if she remembered something, she said vaguely: "So you have been lying to me all along. You didn't contact me at all under the order of the Demon Emperor, right?"

"Princess, you are absolutely right." Zuixian Hermit was exposed, but he was not panicked at all. Instead, he looked relieved.

"The Demon Emperor is too powerful. If I directly ask the princess to fight against the Demon Emperor, she may not agree. But if I ask her to fight against the Blood Demon and Shura, it will be much easier. Plus there are many benefits, the princess is likely to agree."

Xiao Minghuang shook his head: "You lied to me, the previous agreement is invalid, and this is the end of it between you and me."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Zuixian Jushi hurriedly chased after him and said hastily, "Princess, wait a minute!"

Xiao Minghuang stopped, turned around and looked at Zuixian Jushi expressionlessly, and asked, "What else?"

Zuixian Jushi took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, raised his eyes to meet Xiao Minghuang's eyes, and said solemnly: "I lied to the princess before, this is my fault. From now on, we will be open and honest. I will tell the princess all the real plans now, please consider it seriously!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang thought about it for a moment. Although Zuixian Jushi had deceived her before, she had indeed fulfilled her promise.

He said he would help her reach the supreme realm, and he kept his promise.

Apart from inviting her to the banquet and killing the Blood Demon, Shura and the Source Supreme, he had no other plans for her.

Moreover, there was no possibility for her and Emperor Dongji to live in harmony. On top of that, she killed the Supreme Source, which made this already uneasy relationship even worse.

Therefore, there was no place for her in Zhongtian Dongji anymore.

Right now, she is in the Southern Wilderness. If Zuixian Jushi's plan can improve her situation, it is not impossible for her to cooperate with him.

Thinking of this, she said indifferently: "Go ahead."

Seeing that her attitude had softened a little, Zuixian Jushi breathed a sigh of relief and said softly, "Princess, you should know that life has an end, and a world also has an end. For Zhongtian Dongji, the era has been restarted six times, and there is still one chance left, but for Nanhuang, it has come to an end."

"The scale of the world in the Southern Wasteland is much smaller than that in the Eastern Pole. In addition, due to the fusion of the worlds, the Heavenly Dao of the Southern Wasteland is almost completely suppressed by the Heavenly Dao of the Central Sky and Eastern Pole. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao of the Southern Wasteland actually has no chance of being integrated again. Once it is cut off, it will lead to the end of the world!"

“And the reason why the Demon Emperor unsealed me from the spiritual source more than ten years ago was because the end of the Southern Wilderness Era was approaching. He had to dare to cut off the source of the world before the Heavenly Dao completely decayed and truly ascend to immortality. Otherwise, he would decay and perish along with the Heavenly Dao.”

Seeing that she was slow to get to the point, Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly and said, "I don't like beating around the bush."

Zuixian Jushi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Then I will make a long story short. Although the Demon Emperor is strong, he is not invincible. When he cuts off the source of the world and has not taken the most critical step, the Demon Emperor's strength will be greatly weakened. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the princess can seize the source of the world and kill the Demon Emperor!"

"The Demon Emperor cannot defeat the Emperor of Dongji, so he cannot maintain the existence of the Heavenly Dao by expansion. But the princess is different. If she can quickly attack and expand the boundaries of the world after integrating the world source, then the existence of the world will continue. If the princess can completely defeat the Emperor of Dongji and take the world source of Zhongtian Dongji into her pocket, then this catastrophe will naturally be overcome calmly!"

After listening to Zuixian Jushi's plan, Xiao Minghuang knew that the most crucial point of the whole matter was the grasp of timing. If he could not kill the Demon Emperor during the window period when he had cut off the source of the world but had not yet become an immortal, then once the Demon Emperor successfully ascended to immortality, there would be no chance anymore!

After a little thought, Xiao Minghuang asked, "The Demon Emperor is not a fool. With the Emperor of the East watching covetously from outside and the Blood Demon and Shura from inside with ulterior motives, how could he possibly cut off his own world source if he is not sure it is safe?"

"Of course I have a way."

Zuixian Jushi curled his lips and chuckled, his eyes showing a hint of determination, and said: "In addition to ensuring safety, there is another way to force the Demon Emperor to cut off his own world source in advance!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang's expression paused slightly, and a possibility emerged in his mind.

"You want to force the Demon Emperor to kill himself in advance at the cost of your own life?"

"Princess, you are indeed very smart. Nothing can be hidden from you."

The Drunken Immortal Hermit smiled slightly, but there was no joy on his face, and he seemed extremely calm.

But Xiao Minghuang knew that at this moment her emotions had reached the brink of collapse.

481. Fighting the Three Immortals Alone (Update)

"Princess, when you kill the Demon Emperor, you will not only get all of his resources, but also the source of the Southern Wilderness. With this as a proof, it won't be difficult to face the Emperor of the East Pole directly. This will solve the dilemma. I wonder if Princess can agree to my conditions?"

The Drunken Immortal Hermit looked at Xiao Minghuang with burning eyes.

Xiao Minghuang fell into silence.

She knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If everything went as planned, she would kill the Demon Emperor, integrate the Southern Wilderness Realm Source, and then defeat the Emperor of the East Pole and integrate all the remaining realm sources of the Five Directions and One Realm. From then on, there would only be one Heavenly Dao left in the Five Directions and One Realm. She would also benefit greatly from this, and the benefits it would bring were simply unimaginable. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she would soar into the sky and roam the world like a dragon from now on!

However, if things don't go well, or if this is actually a scam, she may end up in jail...

Xiao Minghuang knows that life always involves some choices...

Of course she knew that, theoretically speaking, the Supreme, the Earthly Immortal, and the Great Emperor were all at the same level and had not exceeded the limits of a world.

The earthly immortals live in this world, but they can communicate with the heavens and grasp a trace of immortal energy. Compared with the Supreme, it can be said that they are completely crushed.

The Great Emperor integrates the source of the world and carries out the will of Heaven. He is the master of a world and no one can challenge the majesty of Heaven.

Either of these two is far superior to the earthly immortals!

If one can communicate with the heaven and master the immortal energy while integrating the source of the world, then one will be invincible among the invincible!

Xiao Minghuang guessed that the Demon Emperor and the Emperor of Dongji should have both mastered the immortal energy while integrating the source of the world. Among them, the Heavenly Dao of Nanhuang was declining, while the Heavenly Dao of Zhongtian Dongji was strong. From this point of view, the Emperor of Dongji should be stronger than the Demon Emperor. However, Xiao Minghuang did not know who had a higher concentration of immortal energy.

But no matter what, the strength of any one of these two people is far superior to Xiao Minghuang!

If she were to face the Demon Emperor in his prime, she probably wouldn't have much chance of winning. But if it was the Demon Emperor who had cut off the source of his own world and was only in the Earth Immortal state, she thought she had some chance of winning.

After thinking for a long time.

Xiao Minghuang slowly said: "I promise you."

"But just this once, I hope you can keep your promise."

"Don't worry, there won't be a second time!" Zuixian Jushi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, as if he had already anticipated Xiao Minghuang's choice and seemed confident.

......

Central Demon City.

In the Stone Mansion.

When Xiao Minghuang and Zuixian Jushi appeared in the mansion, the Netherworld Demon Lord was overjoyed.

"Miss, Princess, you are back!"

Hearing his address, Zuixian Jushi explained: "The Netherworld Demon Lord is from my mother's clan, he is 100% reliable!"

"Miss, you..."

The Netherworld Demon Lord seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"I have told the princess all about our plan, and she has promised to help us."

Hearing this, the Netherworld Demon Lord heaved a sigh of relief. He had originally thought that based on Princess Xiao's personality, once she discovered that she had been deceived, she might turn hostile on the spot.

From the very beginning, he actually did not approve of deceiving Princess Xiao, but since Zuixian Jushi insisted, he did not object.

"What are your plans for next?"

Xiao Minghuang asked.

"Go to the Demon Palace, face the Demon Emperor, and then act according to the plan!"

Zuixian Jushi said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, the Netherworld Demon Lord was slightly surprised: "So urgent? Should we wait for the princess to recuperate for a while?"

Zuixian Jushi looked at Xiao Minghuang and said solemnly: "The Demon Emperor already knows about the death of the Blood Demon Ancestor. If the princess cannot face the Demon Emperor as soon as possible, after he mobilizes his subordinates, she may have to face more than just the Demon Emperor!"

"Subordinates?" Xiao Minghuang frowned slightly and said, "The Blood Demon Ancestor is dead, and there may be Shura Ancestor left? But these two are not of the same mind as the Demon Emperor, so why would they work for him?"

Zuixianjushi shook his head and said, "The Demon Emperor's subordinates are not six-path earthly immortals, but servants trained by him, just like Ren Wuqing. If he had not died at the hands of the princess, he would have achieved earthly immortality sooner or later."

"These servants have some flaws and cannot survive for long, so they are usually sealed in the spiritual source and will only appear when they are needed to fight."

"So, we have to hurry, otherwise the princess might have to face a few more earthly immortals!"

Hearing this, Xiao Minghuang always felt that the Demon Emperor might have been prepared for a long time, and she would definitely have to face more enemies by then.

"How many earthly servants does the Demon Emperor have?"

At this time, Netherworld Demon Lord said, "At least two people, and no more than four at most."

When Xiao Minghuang thought about the possibility of having to face off against four earthly immortals, he couldn't help but... his blood boiled and he couldn't wait to have a big fight right away!

It had been a long, long time since she had a truly satisfying fight.

After Xiao Minghuang and Zuixian Jushi discussed, they decided to set off immediately and rush to the Demon Palace.

Half a day later.

Mr. Zuixian stood in front of the gate of the Demon Palace, gazing up at the huge black and red tower that soared into the clouds with a complicated expression.

"Let's go."

After saying this lightly, Xiao Minghuang took the lead and walked towards the Demon Palace.

Seeing this, the Netherworld Demon Lord followed closely behind.

There were guards stationed outside the Demon Palace. When they saw the three people coming, the captain of the guards quickly came over, looked at Xiao Minghuang carefully, and asked:

"So you are the Drunken Immortal Hermit, do you have any instructions from the Demon Lord?"

Zuixian Jushi explained: "This representative of the Southern Wilderness Peace Negotiation Group has important matters and wants to see the Demon Lord."

As she spoke, she took out a gold medal and handed it to the captain of the guards. He looked at it and nodded, saying respectfully, "Come in!"

Xiao Minghuang and the other two stepped into the Demon Palace.

As soon as he stepped into the Demon Palace, Xiao Minghuang felt that the surrounding environment was unpredictable.

This is... space transfer!

Xiao Minghuang's eyes paused. Only now did she realize that the so-called Central Demon Palace was actually equivalent to an independent small world. It was even more stable and powerful than the small worlds of the holy land families in Zhongtian Dongji!

The Demon Palace is luxurious and magnificent, and it exudes dominance everywhere.

The three of them walked along the wide palace passage and headed straight into the depths of the Demon Palace.

On the way, they met many guards from the Demon Palace. These guards all had stern faces and sharp eyes, and exuded a murderous aura from head to toe, like a sharp sword!

Xiao Minghuang took a quick glance and found that these guards were at least at the Saint level.

saint......

In the outside world, whether it is Dongji or Nanhuang, they are both overlords!

Xiao Minghuang's heart trembled.

Soon, the three of them arrived at a magnificent palace, which was where the Demon Emperor lived.
