Yun Shou was not offended and continued, "People only know that we are a family that has prospered in the North for hundreds of years, but few people know that we are actually a branch of the Demon Clan."

Yun Jianyue's expression finally changed. If the Yun family were demons, then wouldn't she be too?

Seeing her reaction, Yun Shou was quite satisfied: "Among the demon race, not to mention the Golden Crow royal family, the sea race lives far away in the sea and their connection with the demon race is actually very weak. The remaining demon race, Golden Roc, Peacock, and Elf are known as the four royal families and have a transcendent status among the demon race."

"The demon race is divided into four major families: the Yun family, the Soren family, the Rong family, and the Wu family. Among them, our Yun family is the most powerful, and for more than two-thirds of the time, the demon race leaders are from the Yun family."

"In the great war between the demon race and the human race back then, the demon race was unfortunately defeated, but we always thought about returning to our homeland and reclaiming the land occupied by the human race. So we sent some of our people to infiltrate the human race's territory in advance to live and multiply. The Yun family in the North is the demon race's backup plan here."

He spoke of his family history with a remarkable sense of pride.

Yun Jianyue smiled enigmatically: "What, do you want me to cooperate in welcoming the Demon Clan back to rule the Central Plains?"

She gradually calmed down from her initial shock. Even if she had demon blood, it had been so many years, the bloodline had long since faded. If these naive guys thought they could use that to blackmail her, they would die without even knowing how.

Yun Shou shook his head slightly: "The time is not right yet, there is no need for the sect leader to take such a big risk."

Yun Jianyue frowned: "Then why did you come to find me?"

Yun Shou sized her up, seemingly considering how to begin: "We hope that the sect leader can lend a hand to your sister."

"Sister?" Yun Jianyue raised an eyebrow, as if she had heard a joke. "I'm an illegitimate child, what sister do I have?"

Yun Shou sighed: "It's only natural for Sect Leader Yun to have grievances. Back then, your father fell in love with a human and gave birth to you. The people of your clan felt that your bloodline was not pure, so they didn't think much of you at first and sent you to such a dangerous demonic sect. But they never expected you to grow to this level. Last time at the demon royal court, you were even able to influence the choice of the new demon emperor."

Yun Jianyue knew he was referring to how she and Yan Xuehen had helped Zu'an and single-handedly helped the least favored son of the Little Demon Queen ascend to the throne of the new Demon Emperor.

Speaking of which, I've had dealings with demons before. I remember it was a pretty little girl named Princess Soren. I suppose she didn't know about her relationship with the demons.

"As for your sister's mother, she is a noblewoman of the demon race with impeccable lineage, making it easier for her to awaken the ancestral bloodline power of the Yun family. Therefore, the clan initially favored her more, and through some maneuvering, she became the Princess Consort of Wu," Yun Shou said.

"The Princess Consort of Wu is not bad at all; she's much better than me, a wanted rebel by the court," Yun Jianyue said calmly.

Yun Shou was somewhat surprised: "It seems you're not surprised that she's your sister?"

Yun Jianyue sneered, "I've done my research. My unfaithful father later remarried and had a daughter. I just didn't expect that he had a connection with the Demon Clan."

Yun Shou sighed: "Now that you know about our relationship with the Demon Clan, you should understand your father's predicament back then."

Yun Jianyue flicked her sleeve: "I don't care about any hardships or not. I only know that he was heartless and unfaithful, and he let my mother down, which led to her dying in despair. Fortunately, he died early, otherwise I would probably have to avenge my mother."

Yun Shou said, "Your father died so young because he was so resentful about your mother's situation."

Upon hearing this, Yun Jianyue's face remained expressionless.

Yun Shou continued to persuade, "Although Yun Yuqing and you are not born of the same mother, you do share the same father. It would be best if you could help each other."

"What exactly happened to her?" Yun Jianyue was initially uninterested, but then she thought it might be good to take the opportunity to find out some information.

Yun Shou was overjoyed: "Actually, it's not that she encountered any danger, but rather that the Empress Dowager and the Empress in the human capital are fiercely fighting each other, each trying to win over their respective factions..."

At this moment, Yun Jianyue scoffed, "What are they fighting over? In the end, it's still the Regent who decides."

“That being said, Regent Zuan comes from a poor background and does not have his own faction. The implementation of many policies still relies on the Empress Dowager or the Empress’s faction. So, of course they will fight for their own interests,” Yun Shou explained. “Moreover, according to our intelligence, the Regent seems to be only interested in women and cultivation, and does not care much about court power.”

Cloud Moon: "..."

Ah Zu is so lecherous that almost everyone knows it.

Yun Shou continued, "Under these circumstances, both women wanted to completely defeat each other and become the most powerful woman in the court. This was not only their own wish, but also represented the collective vision of their families and the ministers and confidants who had followed them over the years."

“These days, both groups have been trying to win over powerful regional princes, and the Prince of Wu is a key figure being courted. Someone invited him to the capital. He himself is ambitious, and as Zhao Hao’s son, he obviously wants to seize the throne. He realizes this is an excellent opportunity and plans to accept the summons to see if he can fish in troubled waters.”

Yun Jianyue recalled that a few days ago, it seemed that many princes in the capital were fighting for the throne, and Azu had even killed some of them in a fit of rage. That kid, Prince Wu, really doesn't care about his life.

Yun Shou then said, "Although the strength under the command of the King of Wu is not bad, it is still somewhat insufficient to subdue all parties. However, if he can get your help and the help of the Demonic Sect, his chances of success will be much greater."

"In addition, since you seem to have a good relationship with the Regent, I hope you can put in a good word for King Wu, so that you don't accidentally offend him and cause the plan to fall through."
