"Hehe, after Master drinks this, he will like Shiyao, and then Shiyao will speak up for Yu Lan!"

Yu Lan dared not get involved and immediately went to report to Su Cheng.

In the main hall, Su Cheng sat at the table, looking at a map of the Northern Region. According to the message from Ye Qinghan, it wouldn't be long before he could unify the Northern Region.

Ye Qinghan now has his own demon army, which is now under the command of Xu Zhanfeng.

Ye Qinghan had never imagined that he would have an army, but now, in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have become the acting Demon Emperor.

Xu Zhanfeng said that people were praising what she did in the Northern Region, eliminating harm for the people, and that her army did not harm the people in the slightest. She was a kind and good demon emperor.

Ye Qinghan didn't know what kind of demon emperor was a good demon emperor that his people liked.

She didn't intend to pretend anything. From the day Li Shiyao suddenly drew her sword, she seemed to understand what her people needed.

What she should do is to relieve them of the anxiety of surviving and the worry of having enough to eat.

[I knew Qinghan wouldn't disappoint me.]

After much thought, I still have a few words of advice to give. Qinghan, please don't find me nagging. Although you are the Demon Emperor, you weren't placed in that position by fate.

Do not lose sight of your principles and allow small gains to lead to greater losses.

[Qinghan doesn't need to become a Demon Emperor, nor does he need to follow the rules. A Demon Emperor isn't a specific type of person. Qinghan is the Demon Emperor. Don't lose your true self just because you've risen to a higher position.]

In my eyes, Qinghan only needs to be himself to be a qualified Demon Emperor and a qualified Lord of the Northern Region.

The events in the Northern Region unfolded much as expected. Su Cheng had assumed Ye Qinghan would proceed cautiously and steadily, but the swift and decisive attack yielded little difference in results.

The strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside and seizing power by force is well-suited to the northern regions, which are mostly villages with few cities.

Ye Qinghan transformed into a spiritual leader, using a method akin to a college student visiting the countryside to introduce his people to this trusted demon emperor. Meanwhile, his army marched straight in and occupied important passes.

If that's the case, we already have two of the advantages: favorable timing, geographical location, and popular support. We're just waiting for the right moment.

However, Su Cheng did not intend to say anything more. His eldest disciple was going out of the mountains to gain experience. He did not want to hinder him in every way, as it would only have the opposite effect.
