Faced with the situation of the Four Emperors Alliance, if the demon race wanted to occupy a space in the human territory, they would not be able to achieve anything even if they risked their lives.
Yu Qingzhu instantly changed her attitude towards the various regions of the Nine Realms after regaining control of the Purple Flame Demon Capital.
Befriend the four emperors to gain more benefits for the demon race and strive to expand into the Five Emperors Alliance.
After quickly making up her mind, Yu Qingzhu immediately said, "Song Yanran, there is some history between Longhan and my demon race."
The Serpent-Slaying Emperor Sword, a national treasure in your hand, was forged by the demon race's Qingqiu Purple Flame.
Speaking of which, your ancestor, Song Ji, and I were close friends.
Seeing your Celestial Empire so strong now fills me with great joy.
As the saying goes, "Having more friends means having more options," so why not consider cooperating with the demon race?
Since they couldn't beat them, they would join them. Yu Qingzhu knew that as long as Song Yanran nodded, the Five Emperors Alliance would be a done deal.
But Song Yanran gently smoothed her hair and waited quietly for Yu Qingzhu to finish speaking before asking indifferently, "Do you know why my Longhan National Guard is named Serpent Slayer?"
When my ancestors of the Longhan Kingdom first rose up, a white python ten thousand feet long wreaked havoc in the Central Region, ravaging all living beings and causing untold suffering.
Our ancestors, to protect the safety of the people in the Central Plains, led the Han army and paid a heavy price to finally kill him.
Why did this white python suddenly appear in the Central Region?
Yu Qingzhu's face darkened: "What do you mean by that?"
Song Yanran turned her back: "Now that things have come to this point, do I really need to spell it out?"
Yu Qingzhu was shocked: "You mean to say that I released this white python?"
Song Yanran remained silent, slightly tilting her head. Her eyes, and even her slight chin, revealed her undisguised meaning.
Yes, it's you!
Yu Qingzhu immediately became anxious: "I, Yu Qingzhu, swear by the Heavenly Dao that the calamity of the White Python has nothing to do with me!"
"If that's the case, then it only shows that you, the Queen of Qingqiu, are also responsible for the fact that you failed to manage your subordinates effectively and allowed the demon beasts to escape from the demon realm."
One sentence was enough to make Yu Qingzhu so angry that her Dao heart almost broke down.
How can this girl be so sharp-tongued?
That look, that aura, that attitude—there's absolutely no respect a junior should have for an elder. It's outrageous!
"Song Yanran, I really didn't expect you to be so unreasonable! So much time has passed, why bring this up again!"
"Didn't you want to curry favor? I'm just telling you, as you wish, that it's only natural to reforge the Serpent-Slaying Emperor Sword with your demonic flames."
This is what your demon race owes me, Longhan, not a bargaining chip for you to use to negotiate with me.
"you……"
"Yu Qingzhu, I advise you not to speak recklessly. I may not be as good as you at verbal sparring."
But when it comes to fighting, I wasn't afraid of you two thousand years ago, so what do you think you can do to me now?
"Alright, we can discuss this later. Can I borrow the Jade Pool Milky Way for now?"
"I said no." Song Yanran shook her head. "Without Jiang Qingluan's permission, apart from the four emperors..."
No one is allowed to touch a single blade of grass or tree in the Jade Pool. I advise you to leave as soon as possible and not continue this pointless struggle.
He paused, then added, "Except for Su Yunying, she is an exception."
Yu Qingzhu's face turned cold: "Fine, fine, where is Jiang Qingluan? Can I go talk to her?"
"Not here."
The two simple and clear words made Yu Qingzhu feel a sense of shame.
"It seems that since I, Yu Qingzhu, have been gone for so many years, none of you juniors have taken me seriously. The dignified Empress of Qingqiu of the demon race can't even enter the Jade Pool and the Heavenly River?"
Upon hearing this, Song Yanran parted her lips slightly: "To hear the Qingqiu Empress of the Purple Flame Demon Capital utter such words of condescension due to her age,..."
I was genuinely a little shocked. When did being older become an advantage?
In the Immortal Martial Continent, cultivators have always proven themselves through their own strength, haven't they?
"Song Yanran, do you really think I can't beat you?"
Yu Qingzhu suddenly said.
"I admit my cultivation level isn't what it used to be, but if I really wanted to fight you to the death..."
You may not be my match, are you really going to fight to the death over such a trivial matter?
Song Yanran fell silent.
Yu Qingzhu thought Song Yanran had concerns, so she continued, "At worst, I can talk to Jiang Qingluan about it afterward, right?"
However, Song Yanran's next sentence almost broke Yu Qingzhu's defenses: "I remember when you were at your peak..."
You didn't get the better of me either, so why are you still able to say such arrogant things now that your power is greatly damaged?
If you really take action, you might live with resentment for another two thousand years. I advise you to think carefully.
A calm tone, and an elegant and noble demeanor.
The sound that came out was so pleasant to hear, but the content was so heart-wrenching, like a sharp sword piercing Yu Qingzhu's heart.
Yu Qingzhu, who is now seven thousand years old, was defeated by Song Yanran, who was only seven hundred years old, when she was five thousand years old. Although she only lost by half a move, it was still the thing that she cared about the most.
Now, she's being ridiculed like this again. She's an empress, after all. How can she tolerate this?
"It seems that today we must determine who is male and who is female."
With the Qingqiu Demon Sword in hand, Yu Qingzhu's aura changed instantly.
Song Yanran remained calm and composed, showing no concern whatsoever for Yu Qingzhu's threat.
Just then, Luo Pianhong gracefully landed beside Song Yanran.
"Sister, I'm late."
Upon seeing Luo Pianhong, Yu Qingzhu immediately sheathed her Qingqiu Demon Sword and swiftly suppressed her murderous aura.
Dealing with Song Yanran alone was already a matter of uncertain outcome, and adding Luo Pianhong on top of that meant there was absolutely no chance of winning.
