“Zhou Xuzi?” Chi Wuyao tilted her gaze and took in the strange light that flashed across Yun Che’s eyes for a moment: “He did send me a message, wanting to make a special deal with me. But I don’t understand what he meant by ‘returning a gift’.”
Chi Wuyao looked at Qianye Ying’er. She had no sarcasm or anger towards this inexplicable return gift that was said to be as important as the essence of the wilderness. She seemed to be expecting the other party to give her a wonderful explanation.
Before Qianye Ying'er could answer, a cold and hard voice came from her ear.
"How do you know Zhou Xuzi would send her a message?"
The one who asked this question was Yun Che.
It was not surprising that Qianye Ying'er could think of something that he could not think of, because she knew everything about the Eastern Divine Region much better than he did. But he was obviously very unhappy that Qianye Ying'er had not mentioned this to him at all.
Qianye Ying'er said: "Yun Che, one of the biggest reasons why you ended up like this is that you thought you understood Zhou Xuzi."
Yun Che’s eyes were like cold swords, but he did not refute.
Chi Wuyao pursed her lips, looking at Yun Che and Qianye Ying’er with an attitude of amusement.
“You, and Zhou Xuzi as known to most people in the world, are people who inherited Zhou Tian’s will, uphold justice and righteousness, and are extremely principled. These are not wrong. However, human nature is the most complicated thing in this world. His principles are not unbreakable. Otherwise, Xia Qingyue would not have specially invited him to witness the slave mark you planted on me.”
"And his promise to you was shattered by his own hands because of his so-called righteousness."
"Besides the righteous path, there is another person who can make him break his principles, and that is Zhou Qingchen!" Qianye Ying'er said slowly, with a bewitching golden light flashing in her eyes: "You only know that he is Zhou Xuzi's only legitimate son and the successor he personally chose, but you don't know how important this piece of trash is to that old man Zhou Xuzi."
"This is about Zhou Qingchen. It is only possible that Zhou Qingchen can make him break his principles and even abandon the 'right path' to a certain extent."
“The right path, huh.” Yun Che sneered.
“Half a year ago, you turned Zhou Qingchen into a demon. This move would have definitely driven that old man insane and collapsed. But then, I suddenly thought of something interesting.” She turned her head and looked at Chi Wuyao: “Qianye Fantian once said that after the fight ten thousand years ago, Chi Wuyao had deliberately left behind a piece of magic jade that sealed the sound transmission [Zero Zero.] profound formation, and this magic jade was sealed in the Eternal Heaven Realm.”
"Everyone knows that the Eternal Heaven God Realm hates demons the most. The hunt for Yun Che was led by the Eternal Heaven God Realm, and its young master became a demon. It's really exciting. If it were another realm, the most appropriate thing to do would be to kill him. However, Zhou Xuzi will definitely not do this. He will hide Zhou Qingchen and then pursue a solution at all costs."
"And after all was fruitless, what would be the last thing he thought of?"
“If one can forcibly implant dark profound energy into a person’s body, then it is also possible to remove it.” Chi Wuyao said slowly, “So, he sent a message to me and offered me a price that was difficult for me to refuse.”
Yun Che: “…”
Chi Wuyao's words undoubtedly proved that everything was just as Qianye Ying'er had expected.
Zhou Xuzi dreams of catching Yun Che, whether it is because of his "Demon God Prophecy" or for Zhou Qingchen. But Yun Che hides in the Northern Divine Region, a world he cannot set foot in.
The three great realms of Yama, Burning Moon, and Robbery Soul control the Northern Divine Region.
Thus, the magic jade that Chi Wuyao left behind became a life-saving straw.
Giving Chi Wuyao a huge bargaining chip, with her strength and power in the Northern Divine Region, as long as she is willing, Yun Che will
Ten thousand lives would not be able to escape from her five fingers. By then, the demonic threat to him and Zhou Qingchen's demonic body would be solved, killing two birds with one stone.
However, this was a deal with the demon. Before that day, Zhou Xuzi might never have thought of it, nor would he have believed that he would make such a choice and act.
And this matter can never be made public.
But unfortunately, the Emperor of Heaven could never have imagined in his dreams how much Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er had grown in such a short period of time. He thought that the Northern Territory Demon Queen, who could easily control Yun Che's fate, was now led to him by Yun Che.
“Brahma Monarch Goddess, are you interested in hearing the price Zhou Xuzi offered?” Chi Wuyao smiled and said softly, “Perhaps after hearing it, you will immediately tie this man up and return to the Eastern Divine Region.”
“What a pity,” Qianye Ying’er sneered in response, “If you were like me and stayed with him for a few years, you would know that even if that old man Zhoutian moved the entire Zhoutian Realm here… it would still not be enough!”
“Oh?” Chi Wuyao’s gaze slowly moved across Qianye Ying’er’s face, her eyes seeming playful and ambiguous. “So, what you mean by a generous gift is to lure the Eternal Heaven God Emperor here and then kill him? I don’t think you, the Brahma Emperor Goddess, are so naive.”
“Oh, you are naive. With just you, Chi Wuyao, it would be a foolish dream to kill the Eternal Heaven God Emperor unless you can lead him to the core of the Northern Territory.” Qianye Ying’er slowed down her tone, “Chi Wuyao, this great gift we are giving you in return is a ‘reason’.”
Reason, two words that couldn't be more common and simple. But when these two words came out from Qianye Ying'er's lips, the world suddenly became quiet.
Neither of the two women said anything else. After a moment, Chi Wuyao’s grey eyes suddenly turned, and a dark and charming light flashed across them… It was a strange light that even the Nine Witches had never seen before.
"Go on." She opened her mouth slowly, her enchanting voice still the same, but less lazy and enchanting.
Qianye Ying'er said calmly, "If you want to lead the Northern Divine Region out of the cage, you will inevitably have to face the Three Divine Regions, which regard the demons and the Northern Divine Region as heretics. When you think the time is right and lead the demons to break out of the cage and attack the Three Divine Regions, the profound practitioners of the Three Divine Regions will panic and become confused for a short period of time, followed by anger and a common hatred of the enemy, and... the three divine regions will fully unite in a very short period of time."
“As for the Northern Divine Region, facing the extremely powerful Three Divine Regions that have cast a shadow over them for countless years, they will undoubtedly panic, become timid, and fearful. Moreover, even if you, Chi Wuyao, swallow up Burning Moon and Yama, how many demons in the vast Northern Divine Region would be willing to follow your orders and face the Three Divine Regions? Ten percent? Or half?”
Chi Wuyao: “…”
“But,” Qianye Ying’er paused for a moment, and then said gloomily, “What if it is the Eastern Divine Region that invades the Northern Divine Region first?”
"The demons of the Northern Territory have been trapped in cages by the Three Gods for generations, and they are unable to leave forever. While in the cage, they are being hunted down and killed. The pain, unwillingness, and resentment accumulated over countless years and generations will all turn into endless anger and madness under this stimulation, and will eventually derive the will to fight back to the death."
“When the time comes, there will be no need for you, Chi Wuyao, to issue orders, mobilize, or persuade. All you need to do is to strike back at the Eastern Divine Region, and you will be able to ignite a demonic flame that may be far beyond your imagination.”
"As for the Eastern Divine Region, what they are facing is not an invasion from the Northern Divine Region, but a counterattack! Although it is also a battle, it will definitely not lead to the former's common hatred of the enemy. Instead, it will be more of a dissatisfaction and even resentment towards the initiative to provoke the Northern Divine Region. The battle situations brought about by the two will be worlds apart."
"And the most important point." Qianye Ying'er continued: "If they actively invade, they will be greeted with a quick alliance of the three divine regions. But if they counterattack, it will be the Eastern Divine Region that will suffer the consequences. The Eastern Divine Region has its own fault, so how can the Western Divine Region and the Southern Divine Region sacrifice themselves to help it bear the consequences? It's good enough that they don't add insult to injury."
“Heh,” she sneered coldly, “The relationship between the three divine realms is much more subtle than what you, the Demon Queen of the Northern Territory, can imagine and understand.”
"The demons from the Northern Divine Territory have escaped from their own demonic realm and forcefully entered the Eastern Divine Territory. The Western and Southern Divine Territories will not think that the Eastern Divine Territory cannot deal with them. At most, they will suffer some damage to their vitality, and they will only gloat over their misfortune."
“And when they realized what was happening,” Qianye Ying’er’s lips curved into a dangerous and cold arc, “The king of the Eastern Divine Region is now you, Chi Wuyao.”
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Chi Wuyao clapped her hands slowly. Even through the black mist, she could vaguely see the enchanting curve of her lips. “What the Brahma Monarch Goddess said is truly brilliant and beautiful beyond words. It’s just…”
"Where do you get the confidence that the Eastern Divine Region will suddenly attack our Northern Divine Region?"
"My Northern Territory is far weaker than the Eastern Territory. And once the people of my Northern Territory leave the Land of Darkness, their strength will be greatly reduced. How can you be so confident that my Northern Territory can occupy the Eastern Territory and become the king before the Western and Southern Divine Territories can react?"
“He will.” Qianye Ying’er’s eyes were focused, and her prediction was unquestionable: “You don’t understand how much old Zhou Tian values that useless son, and you don’t know… to what extent this man beside me hates old Zhou Tian.”
Yun Che had no expression on his face.
“As for the latter…” Qianye Ying’er gave Yun Che a deep look and said, “Take us to your Soul Stealing Realm, and you will know the answer soon.”
“Okay.” Without further questioning or doubting, Chi Wuyao’s response was unexpectedly direct and straightforward. Her gaze also fell on Yun Che: “But, it’s not you, it’s him.”
"Oh?" Qianye Ying'er narrowed her eyes slightly.
“He alone is enough for all this, isn’t he?” Chi Wuyao smiled sweetly. “As for you, you are so beautiful that even I am jealous, and you are too smart. As a woman, how could I possibly tolerate you?”
"Then it looks like I'm going to disappoint you." Qianye Ying'er also smiled faintly: "For all this, he alone is indeed enough. But this man can't live without me."
Yun Che: “…”
"Unless you can replace me as his furnace and plaything."
But immediately, she changed her tone, and every word was sarcastic: "But it's a pity that he won't like your body that has been polluted by countless men."
“Hahahahahaha!” Chi Wuyao was not angry at all. Instead, she started to laugh sweetly. Her body trembled with laughter, causing Qianye Ying’er to frown slightly.
“Cauldron…” Chi Wuyao muttered these two words softly, and then slowly said, “No wonder you have only been cultivating your dark profound energy for less than three years, yet you have been able to control it to such an extent that even that child, Yaodie, was astonished. It turns out that in addition to the Savage World Pill, you also have…”
"The blood of the Demon Emperor."
As soon as these four words came out, Yun Che and Qianye Ying'er turned their heads sharply at the same time.
“Have you seen the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor?!” Yun Che asked, taking a half step forward.
Chi Wuyao did not answer directly, but said softly, “When you two escaped from the Eastern Divine Region and set foot in my Northern Region, you were like two frightened birds. When you heard my name, your first reaction was to flee far away. But you seemed to have forgotten to think carefully about why I would throw the word ‘cooperation’ to two stray dogs who had just escaped to the Northern Region?”
"With your abilities at that time, Chan Yi could have restrained you with just a flick of her finger and thrown you directly in front of me. But she never did that before, and was instead ambushed by you."
"Do you really think Chan Yi is a soft-hearted and indecisive person? If she is like that, how can she become my witch?"
