Chonghua, Shang Xiye, and Ji Fengyao arrived in the Southern Region one after the other and also met the handsome young man.

A glance at Song Huilan beside the handsome young man revealed a hint of amazement in Chonghua's eyes—as expected, a woman who could win the favor of the Venerable One must be exceptionally beautiful. If this woman were not by the Venerable One's side and instead wandered the world, she would surely cause chaos and upheaval.

But at first glance, this woman's appearance looks so much like Yun Yao's!

Song Huilan was the Demon Lord's woman, and even though Chonghua was full of doubts and curiosity, he didn't dare to look at her a second time.

He bowed deeply to the handsome young man, then, maintaining his hand-behind-the-back posture, addressed him as "Your Excellency."

"Hmm," the handsome young man sat on the large armchair, half-embracing the cat-like obedient Song Huilan in his arms, glanced at Chonghua, and said coldly, "Have all your divided souls gathered together?"

"Your Excellency, we just gathered a month ago and have already returned to the Demon Realm to advance to the Scattered Demon Realm. Fearing the wrath of lightning, we dared not advance to the Ascension Realm," Chonghua answered honestly. Finally, without being asked, he added, "Your Excellency, I come from the Eastern Region. Apart from the Jin family, which was destroyed, all the other hidden agents in the Eastern Region have already made their moves. I heard that Miss Yun Yao will soon attempt to become a Pill Saint and prepare to succeed as the Pill Sect Master. At that time, they will come to the Pill Sect with their clansmen to attend the ceremony and await Your Excellency's instructions."

The handsome young man's gloomy mood, which had lasted for months, finally brightened up a bit after hearing what Chonghua had reported.

Thinking of the recent changes in the various races and cities of the Danling Continent, the handsome young man was still a little worried and instructed, "I heard that the Hidden Sect has been active recently. They destroyed half of your plan from a thousand years ago with one move. Fortunately, the Yun family has been almost completely wiped out, so this can be considered an abandoned plan."

The Jin family's affairs were mostly orchestrated by Yun Yao and her group. If they want to overturn the Yun family's case, you don't need to stop them. Give them some sweet treats so they'll lower their guard.

When the time is right, we will launch a general offensive and annihilate the Danling race in one fell swoop. I will then take the opportunity to abduct Yun Yao back to the Demon Realm.

This time, I will not give anyone another chance to save Yun Yao. The day when the Demon Realm breaks free of its shackles is just around the corner!

"Your Majesty is wise, and the future of the Demon Realm is promising," Chonghua said sincerely, unable to hide his excitement.

The handsome young man, full of vigor and ambition, embraced the obedient Song Huilan, gently stroking her perfect cheek with his fingertips, and instructed, "Well, you can go down now. You don't need to come to me all the time."

Tong Lie, Wu Guang, Meng Qi, and Su He haven't arrived yet.

Taotie, Zitong, Meijiang, Guiying, and the others suffered some minor losses this time and will need some time to re-integrate with the demon shell.

You go and find the Demon Butterfly; the two of you will then take on the responsibility of coordinating various matters.

“Yes, Your Majesty,” Chonghua replied.

Just as they were about to leave, the handsome young man said again, "You can do your own thing. No matter what moves Yun Yao and Dan Zong make, you don't need to pay attention to them."

With the great undertaking nearing completion, at this final juncture, we must not alert the enemy.

Those old monsters are probably lingering near the Pill Sect, so I cannot make a move for the time being.

Therefore, you cannot afford to fail this time, otherwise a thousand years of hard work will be ruined in an instant.

"Understood, Your Majesty. We will certainly act with caution and not let anyone notice anything amiss," Chonghua solemnly assured him.

After Chonghua left, Song Huilan straightened up from the handsome young man's embrace.

She gazed at the handsome young man with eyes like autumn water, only her soft, timid voice remained her own.
