After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Chapter 41 Cooperation

Inside a restroom.

Zhou Yan stood in front of a mirror, holding a glass of water in his hand.

He lowered his head, drank water, rinsed his mouth, and spat out the water.

Jiu Feng's voice came from outside the bathroom door that had opened behind Zhou Yan.

"Not bad, I'm very satisfied..."

Zhou Yan looked sorrowful.

"I hope you will keep your word."

A soft laugh, followed by the sound of footsteps gradually fading away.

Jiufeng left the bedroom.

Zhou Yan started washing her face. During the process, she inexplicably felt like she had become the female protagonist in some kind of story. She was the kind of innocent and pitiful girl who would do anything after being threatened by a scumbag, and then cry and say, "You won't bully me anymore, will you?"

The scumbag promised to treat the female lead well, but then forgot his promise.

Jiufeng is a true god, surely she wouldn't scheme against me?

Zhou Yan didn't want to do everything for Jiu Feng, only to have Jiu Feng reply, "I lied to you."

Damn it, this is probably reminiscent of his old days.

……

Chu capital, Daqing Palace, Left Prince's bedroom.

Xiao Yanjun pushed open the door and came out. On either side of the bedroom door, Leng Qing, Mu Yuan got up from the position of leaning against the wall.

"how's it going?"

Leng Qing looked into the door behind Little Yama.

Mu Yuan also asked.

Do you need my help?

Mu Yuan gave a thumbs up.

“I was trained by the FBI before, and I’m familiar with interrogation.”

When Mu Yuan graduated from university, he wanted to work for the FBI as an investigator, a job where no one dared to stand next to him when he went out to eat. However, because the work at the FBI was quite tiring, he eventually chose a subordinate unit of the National Media Agency, which was relatively easier.

Of course, having worked at the FBI, Mu Yuan had already learned most of their tactics.

"No need, I've asked enough questions."

Little Yama closed the bedroom door.

"Next..."

Little Yama looked at the path leading to the Great Sun Palace outside the bedroom.

"let's go."

Mu Yuan and Leng Qing were secretly delighted.

They've been waiting here just for those words from Little Yama!

……

Going out is not complicated.

Little Yama summoned eunuchs and palace maids to knock them unconscious, dressed Mu Yuan in eunuch clothes, and Leng Qing in palace maid clothes. After doing all this, the three of them followed a deserted path, first leaving the Daqing Palace, and then going to the city wall of the Chu Capital Palace.

Finding a spot where no patrolling soldiers were around, the three of them landed on the ground outside the palace.

The dangers outside the palace gates are no less than those inside the palace.

When Little Yama was torturing Prince Zuo, he inquired about the situation inside and outside the palace.

The situation in Chu Capital was not complicated. When Chu Capital sank from the human world to the underworld, the yin energy poured into the people of Chu Capital, causing tens of thousands of people to die in droves. However, the royal palace, as a place under the care of a great cultivator and national teacher, was not so helpless that everyone was powerless to fight back.

Therefore, there are still a group of living people inside the palace, while outside the palace, it is completely occupied by ghosts and monsters corrupted by yin energy.

If a normal person were to arrive in the capital of Chu, let alone enter the Daming Palace, they would probably encounter more than a dozen monsters craving flesh and blood just by wandering around the residential area.

However, Little Yama is not a normal person. As the Central Ghost Emperor, after being injected with a huge amount of Yin energy by two junior officers and a Left Prince in the Daming Palace, Little Yama's bloodline power began to expand uncontrollably.

Little Yama can sense that he can easily control the Yin energy within a radius of one kilometer. This means that if Little Yama wants to, other ghosts and monsters within a radius of one kilometer will not be able to sense anything.

How could these inanimate creatures, relying solely on instinct, possibly withstand the innate supernatural power of the Central Ghost Emperor, the second-in-command of the Underworld?

So there was no need for any cover or caution, and Little Yama swaggered down the main street.

The street is lined with wooden buildings, their surfaces covered in black veins due to the corrosive influence of yin energy. Occasionally, slivers of dim light can be seen emanating from inside these buildings, along with whispers and curses that can only be heard in the quiet surroundings if one listens carefully.

This place doesn't look like a good place to escape.

But Little Yama went down this path anyway, and Mu Yuan and Leng Qing, who followed behind, didn't say much.

We're all ancient fox spirits, we've seen it all, so we won't be surprised and ask Little Yama why we're taking this route. This place looks dangerous, it's better to take another route.

Mu Yuan and Leng Qing's long-standing experience in interpersonal relationships had long taught them that it was best to trust experts when they didn't understand something.

Even if you have doubts, you should wait until the right time and place to ask them.

Little Yama did not disappoint Leng Qing and Mu Yuan's trust.

Neither of them knew what Little Yama had done, but they walked out of the street full of all sorts of ghosts and monsters without even trying to hide their tracks.

After that, Xiao Yanjun found a street where various faint lights emanated from the classical wooden buildings.

The ghosts on the street facades were stronger than those they had encountered before. The dense yin energy emanating from several houses made even Mu Yuan and Leng Qing frown.

But Little Yama easily walked out of Seventh Street without disturbing any ghosts or monsters. (8/∞)

Then came the third street, the fourth street, the fifth street...

After passing the sixth street, the dilapidated city walls of Chu Capital came into view at the edge of the horizon. Little Yama, who was walking at the front, estimated that the distance between himself and the city walls should be less than five kilometers.

Once they were outside the city walls, the three of them would be safe.

As for Zhou Yan, sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood. Even if Little Yama wants to save people, he should wait until his awakening level is above 80%, preferably around 90%, before he can fight against Nine Phoenix Chu Daoyun.

However, Little Yama was a little afraid that by the time he could improve his bloodline power and go to save Zhou Yan, the child Zhou Yan would have already been properly trained by Chu Daoyun.

Who knows, they might already have a child. In that case, instead of going to rescue Zhou Yan, I'll be watching Zhou Yan and Jiu Feng Chu Dao Yun show off their affection.

So, after going out, should we directly seek help from the Four Divine Beasts?

Let them rescue this child before Zhou Yan is tamed by Jiu Feng?

So, what excuse did they use to lure the Four Divine Beasts back to the human world later?

Xiao Yanjun, Mu Yuan, and Leng Qing walked through two more streets, and the city wall of Chu was already two kilometers away. For three awakened individuals with high bloodline levels, this distance was practically right in front of them.

Therefore, the three of them also saw a small, candle-like light on the guard passage above the city wall they were leaning against. The closer they got, the brighter the light became, and the three of them could see more clearly that under the light, there was a beautiful young woman holding a candle, leaning against the top of the city wall.

The two young women held candles in one hand and rested their other hand on the city wall, their faces supported by their palms. Their smiling expressions resembled those of mothers watching their children play for a long time before finally going home.

Qiu, who was walking at the front, stopped.

Mu Yuan, who died behind Little Yama, and Leng Qing stopped at the same time, and then looked at Jiu Feng Chu Daoyun, who was looking at the three of them from the top of the city wall with despair in their eyes.

"You guys are more capable than I imagined."

From the city wall, Jiufeng's gaze shifted to the three of them, from Xiao Yanjun to the Daming Palace, which was located at the center of the entire Chu capital.

"You actually managed to escape from a place like the Daming Palace."

The smile on Jiufeng's face disappeared.

The little Yama below was delighted.

"So, you threw us into this Chu capital hoping we would do this? Miss, I've already found out all the news inside the Daming Palace. Do you want to hear it?"

Leng Qing and Mu Yuan's expressions changed as they looked at Xiao Yanjun.

These two were not in control of their own lives in the Chu capital. They were either arrested or almost beaten. Even after being rescued by Little Yama, they were still thinking about how to escape and how to contact the Four Divine Beasts, their powerful backer.

As for Jiufeng, they dared not think about it, nor did they need to.

Only Little Yama, who lives a relatively easy life and finds it not difficult to escape from Chu, can calm down and carefully consider his situation.

For example, Chu Du is where Jiu Feng shelters her. For example, Jiu Feng captured her and her companions but didn't kill them; instead, she dumped them in Chu Du.

No one would be so bored as to act foolishly, so Little Yama figured there must be a reason why Jiu Feng had thrown him into the Chu capital.

After having a friendly and amicable conversation with Prince Zuo, Little Yama finally understood why Jiu Feng had sent all of them over.

"You should know, right?"

Little Yama managed to squeeze out a few childlike, innocent, and adorable smiles.

"Your people are not as devout to you as they used to be, and some even have ulterior motives towards you."

The nine phoenixes on the city wall looked rather grim.

"For a god who cannot protect his own child, what the Chu people did is understandable."

After being resurrected, Wei Jiufeng had already sensed that the Chu people's attitude towards her was somewhat subtle. However, this was not the Chu people's fault. It was because she was attacked by the Heavenly Demon when the Chu people needed help, and it was because she, as their guardian deity, failed to fulfill her duties when the Chu people needed to be saved.

4. So it's normal for your own children to doubt themselves and have their own thoughts about them.

"Fold Little Yama said sternly."

"Even if these Chu people are preparing to deify themselves, thereby gaining the power to oppose you?"

"Buy Jiufeng," he said with a wry smile.

"They're making themselves gods? What are these kids thinking? Is it so easy for them to become gods?"

Little Yama took a step toward Nine Phoenix.

"I also feel that this matter of bestowing gods has encountered many setbacks. The Chu royal family is arrogant, but what if..."

Little Yama shouted loudly.

"What I mean is, in case the Chu royal family comes up with some way to deceive heaven and earth and prepare to seize the position and divine status of a true god of the underworld."

Si Xiao Yanjun raised his hand and clenched his fist at his chest.

"Your Highness, have you considered the consequences of this?"

San Jiufeng's expression was solemn.

After Jiufeng was resurrected, she felt very guilty when she saw that few of the Chu people were left in the great disaster. Because of this, even though she sensed that her children had different feelings for her, she did not pursue the matter.

This is a form of compensation; Jiufeng wants to make up for her past mistakes through her actions.

But now, after hearing what Little Yama said, Jiufeng felt that something was wrong.

If you're going to confer gods, fine, but you dare to use deceitful methods to seize the divine position and status of the true god of the underworld. It would have been better if this hadn't been discovered, because if it had, you'd probably be beaten up by the Great Emperor of Fengdu.

Jiufeng was confident in her divine power, but compared to the Emperor of Fengdu, she knew she couldn't withstand his wrath.

"I can help..."

Little Yama pressed one hand against his chest.

With his own bloodline power too low and the Nine Phoenixes on the other side being a True God with a high awakening level, or even 100% awakening level, it was impossible not to lower his stance under these circumstances.

Therefore, Xiao Yanjun needs to demonstrate his abilities and also gain the upper hand in front of Jiu Feng.

“I know what you’re afraid of, Jiufeng. You want to make amends to the Chu people who were destroyed because of your mistake, but the Chu royal family’s ideas are too audacious now and may lead to terrible consequences. So I’m helping you find out about this plan!”

"I will dig out all of King Chu's thoughts and preparations, and lay them all out in front of you without missing a single detail. Then you can choose for yourself whether you want to support your child's ideas or find an opportunity to destroy this investiture ceremony."

Chu Daoyun said meaningfully.

"Little one, would you be interested in becoming my servant?"

Pooh!

I, the Central Ghost Emperor, the second-in-command of the Underworld, a great god below all ghosts, am your mother's subordinate.

In terms of divine rank, the Central Ghost Emperor is definitely higher than Jiu Feng.

Little Yama clasped his hands in greeting. (Qiong)

"This matter should be discussed later."
