In the following period, Shang Yanting completely relinquished his responsibilities. He would occasionally listen to what was happening outside to see how outrageous the group had become, but he devoted the rest of his time to taking care of Jia Xitong and cultivating.
Jia Xitong... regained consciousness under such meticulous care.
Senior Bai Yu has officially become the Demon Child;
The demonic cultivators and martial cultivators fought several battles, but in the end they even cooperated.
The demonic cultivators returned the captured martial cultivators, and then these people joined forces to seize power from Shang Yanting!
When Jia Xitong woke up, she felt like the whole world had changed.
"Dear host, you...you should take a rest. Don't pay any attention to them. Look how thin you've gotten from caring for them all this time!"
Although Jia Xitong is much better now, she's still a bit of a wimp. Otherwise, she might take a small handkerchief and wipe away non-existent tear stains for Shang Yanting.
How tragic is that? They came here with all their heart to fight the demons, only to be distrusted by others.
"A bunch of idiots who almost died on landing, how could they possibly command so many people? Once they mess things up, they'll realize how serious the situation is."
Jia Xitong was lying down, but she kept talking nonstop. Usually, when she was awake, the bedchamber was the noisiest.
Not only that, she was also quite considerate of Shang Yanting's feelings.
Aside from scolding those people on the first day, she never mentioned the matter again, and usually told stories about her previous adventures.
At this time, Shang Yanting listened quietly from the side and then responded appropriately, "You've learned another talisman that specifically counters demonic cultivators, wouldn't that be incredibly powerful?"
"Of course not."
Jia Xitong nodded, "It's a pity my body isn't up to par right now, otherwise I would definitely show you the power of the Purifying Demon-Slaying Talisman. If I had a little more time, maybe I could even take on the Demon Elder one-on-one!"
She would never say this to others, for fear of being laughed at, but she made no attempt to hide her ambition from Shang Yanting.
Shang Yanting would definitely not laugh at her. He would even seriously analyze it for her, "When you're better, let me see what your Purifying Demon-Slaying Talisman looks like. Maybe it can unleash even greater potential by combining it with your other abilities."
"Uh-huh."
Jia Xitong nodded upon hearing this.
As a genius, Shang Yanting can say that if he can combine things, he can combine them; if he can say he can optimize things, he can optimize things.
She chatted for a while, then quickly fell asleep.
Outside, Li Tuo was waiting to deliver the latest intelligence.
"Your Majesty, Liu Yu has sent a third group of people to assassinate the Son of Nirvana. This time, the demonic cultivators were angered, including a cultivator who had just reached the Martial King realm. There were 42 people in total, and none of them returned."
Since Liu Yu and others came to power, they have been constantly provoking others.
The demonic cultivators and martial cultivators did indeed join forces once because of Wan Zhi, but that did not warm up their relationship; it was simply because they encountered an even greater enemy.
In the territory of demonic cultivators, reckless provocation without a plan is tantamount to suicide.
"Your Majesty, it's not right to let Liu Yu give such reckless orders."
Li Tuo frowned deeply. "His command is tantamount to sending the martial artists of the Heavenly Palace to their deaths!"
After observing for so long, Li Tuo felt he understood Yan Qing's intentions. He believed that Yan Qing had relinquished power so easily because he knew Liu Yu was incapable of achieving great things.
The martial artists of that Heavenly Palace saw through the incompetence of that group of useless individuals, making it clear that not everyone could sit in that position. They would wait for these people to make grave mistakes before returning them, thus forcing them to accept all decisions made by their master.
This reason may be a bit far-fetched, but some martial arts practitioners in the Heavenly Palace do believe that the Venerable One is better.
Li Tuo believed that now was a good time to return. The martial artists in the Heavenly Palace were at least Martial Grandmaster level, and the death of even one of them would be a loss for them.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Palace cannot do without you!"
"The Heavenly Palace will not lack people."
Shang Yanting never considered going back, because his thoughts were not what Li Tuo had guessed.
Everything he did was to fight against Omniscience. This inhuman being was far more powerful than he had imagined.
Although he didn't know what the man was up to or what his ultimate goal was, his reason and intuition told him that this man was a menace. If he wasn't eliminated, Wan Zhi would threaten the entire Aotian Continent, and of course, he would also threaten him.
Allowing Liu Yu and his group to act recklessly wasn't for the sake of the Heavenly Palace, but for the group entrenched on the Martial Cultivation Continent. Karl, Mo Hongyun, Helian Xiong, Gongyangsun, Qu Haifeng…
This loss wouldn't be enough to "invite" all these people here.
We can't let him risk his life alone in the demonic cultivation territory; we have to make sure everyone is accounted for.
---Aside---
Babies, the rich and lazy have relapsed.
I'll rest for a day and come back tomorrow!
Also, there will be four updates on three days next week, as my editor said, so you guys wait for me.
