"Nanmen Yihan, the current sect leader of the Xuehan Blade Sect, but the Xuehan Blade Sect should no longer exist."
Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment, "Could we let him go?"
Seeing Xiao Yuhan's pleading attitude, Jun Tan smiled knowingly, as if she had thought of something. "You want him to live?"
"yes!"
"Alright, I'll give you face." With that, Jun Tan actually stopped.
Xiao Yuhan didn't know why she was listening to him so much at this moment, but he didn't care too much. He then walked to Nanmen Yihen and checked his condition, but after checking, he found nothing abnormal.
Jun Tan stepped forward at this moment, "He must have been bewitched by a bewitching spell, which should be a method of the fox demon clan. For someone with this strength to be bewitched by a fox demon, the other party must be a powerful demon. As far as I know, only Xiao Jiu has this kind of strength."
Who is Xiao Jiu?
“My subordinate, and also my most loyal servant… not necessarily. To be honest, I don’t know what exactly happened when she went to the Heavenly Demon Abyss. A few years ago, I asked you to give her a portion of my demonic power, just to gamble. Oh well, we’re getting close to the Northern Plains anyway, we can just ask her to come over and find out!”
After speaking, Jun Tan's eyes turned into golden pupils, and a firebird flew out from her palm, soaring straight into the sky.
The two waited there for almost two hours, calming Nanmen Yihen down, and then sent the little boy back to town.
As dusk approached, Jun Tan seemed to sense something and walked out of the temple alone. Nine demons, including A Jiu, led a group of demon experts to kneel before Jun Tan.
"Welcome back to the throne, Empress! We have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Jun Tan said expressionlessly, "Xiao Jiu, you should know that I have a lot of questions for you. Don't think that just because you're saying you're loyal to me now, I can turn a blind eye to what happened back then."
Ajiu said nervously, "Your Majesty, I did not betray you. It's just that under those circumstances back then, I wanted to find a way to save you, but I fell victim to a spell. After that, I don't remember anything. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't be able to get rid of Yu Hui now."
A terrifying demonic force surged towards Ajiu, who knelt on the ground and began to tremble. She immediately bowed down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please believe me, I truly never intended to betray you!"
"What's the deal with that 'South Gate Regret' guy inside? It looks like it's one of your schemes."
Ajiu answered truthfully: "Since we want to control the Northern Plains, how can we allow others to sleep soundly beside our bed? The Snow Cold Blade Sect guarding the Taihang Mountains is ultimately a threat. Eliminating them as soon as possible will put our minds at ease. I spent a lot of effort to influence Nanmen Yihen, and under my influence, he personally wiped out his own clansmen. I originally intended to kill him after using him, but he broke free from my methods. Perhaps he couldn't accept that he had killed so many of his own people, so he went mad."
Jun Tan frowned. "I don't object to killing people, but aren't your methods a bit excessive?"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I originally planned to kill Nanmen Yihen after I had used him, but I didn't expect... I'm sorry, I will get rid of her immediately!"
Jun Tan was somewhat angry. "Hmph! If I wanted to kill him, I would have done it long ago. Why would I be waiting for you to come?"
"I apologize, I misspoke!"
"And also, when we left the North, didn't I tell you not to act on your own? To maintain friendly relations with the humans? Is this how you show your loyalty to me?"
Ajiu's face grew even paler, and she continued to explain, "Your Majesty, at that time... you hadn't truly woken up yet. I was just guessing that you would need power after you woke up, so..."
"Not bad, now you dare to make decisions without asking me, even after I've clearly told you what to do. You still dare to disobey me. Do you think Bai Yao is just a vessel for me? So you're afraid I'll end up siding with the human race, so you're manipulating the situation to put me in a position where I'm not accepted by the human race, and in the end I'll have to return to the demon race and peacefully become my demon emperor? You really have a good plan!"
"Your Majesty, I was only thinking of you..."
Jun Tan's face was icy cold. "Fool! Do you even know what should be done about acting on your own initiative?"
Ajiu's face turned ashen. She replied in a low voice, "The demons devoured my heart, stripped me of my demon core, and reverted me to my original form... Your Majesty, please believe me, I truly did this for your sake..."
