1169 Journey, This War Will Be Ended by This King

After coming out of the Demon Cult, Feng Qingchen and Doudou were smart enough not to ask what was in the wooden box that made the Ninth Prince go to so much trouble to attack the Demon Cult.

Everyone remained silent, and the Ninth Prince did not bring it up, as if the wooden box did not exist.

After walking out of the Demon Palace, the Black Knight disappeared. Doudou looked reluctant and wanted to follow the Black Knight.

As for the property looted from the Demon Cult, it was of course taken away by the Black Cavalry, leaving only a few medicinal herbs as compensation to the master of the Xuanyi Valley.

Although the Valley Master was dissatisfied, seeing the Ninth Prince's stern look, he did not dare to say much. He reported to the Ninth Prince and returned to Xuanyi Valley under the escort of the secret guards.

Guo Baoji also wanted to study the usefulness of corpse worms with the valley master, so at the valley master's invitation, he also went to Xuanyi Valley.

As Chi Lianshui, who is inseparable from Guo Baoji, chooses to visit Xuanyi Valley even though he is not very happy about it.

In this way, most of their group had left. Master Doudou saw this situation and found that he had no reason to stay. If he deliberately stayed here, it would easily arouse suspicion. After giving some instructions to Doudou in private, he also said goodbye.

The Ninth Prince did not try to try to keep her, but he looked at Master Doudou with a subtle look that made Feng Qingchen feel uneasy, but Feng Qingchen did not say much.

Master Doudou was just a passer-by, and they still had a long way to go. The rest of the way was left to the Ninth Prince, Feng Qingchen, and Doudou.

The Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen were fine; they were not talkative people, and even if they wanted to talk, they had people to talk to, so they wouldn't be bored along the way.

Doudou was pitiful. There was no one around him to talk to, so he was bored and could only play with grass in his mouth. Occasionally, he would roar a few times to attract the attention of the Ninth Uncle and Feng Qingchen, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, without any sound at all.

Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince were two bad-hearted people who had no sympathy for Doudou at all. They just stayed in the carriage and treated Doudou as a passerby. No matter how Doudou howled, they didn't say a word.

On this day, when Doudou was howling outside, Feng Qingchen and the Ninth Prince were reading the information sent by the secret guards.

There was a message on it saying that on the third day after they left, Qu Xihua died of poisoning, and Zhezhe, at the age of six, became the new leader of the Demon Cult. On the day he took office, he killed sixteen people who disobeyed him.

The news was not surprising to the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen. It was good enough that Qu Xihua could hold on for three days. As for Zhezhe, he was never a soft-hearted person. Zhezhe would only yield to those who were stronger than himself, such as the Ninth Prince.

After Zhezhe became the leader, the first thing he did was to organize the cult’s property and then go into seclusion with the remaining people.

As for where he went, even the Ninth Prince's people couldn't find out.

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. The Demon Cult does have a backup plan." The Ninth Prince was not surprised by this.

The Demon Cult can be said to be the enemy of the entire martial arts world. They are so afraid of death, and there are so many enemies, so of course they will leave themselves more escape routes.

"Is this the reason why you don't kill them all?" Because you suspect that the Demon Cult still has some strength hidden, so you don't touch these people?

"Not entirely. Killing those people from the Holy Land is not enough to completely eradicate the evil. There are still many followers of the Demon Cult outside. They are hiding in various places. I don't know how many there are. It is impossible to kill them all. Rather than leaving a root of trouble for myself, it is better to be a good person and let them go. Let them fear and respect me. Besides, with the Demon Cult in those famous and upright sects, they will not have the heart to think about anything else."

Qu Xihua provoked and plotted against him first, but he showed mercy and let Zhezhe and the members of the Demon Cult go. As long as the members of the Demon Cult are not bad-minded, they will not think of taking revenge on him.

After all, his strength is there, and the Demon Cult cannot shake him at all. If they cannot kill him in one blow, revenge on him will only bring disaster to the Demon Cult, and those people in the Demon Cult dare not do that.

The Ninth Prince really understood people's hearts, which made Feng Qingchen admire him very much. However, there was one thing that made Feng Qingchen quite worried: "Aren't you afraid that Zhezhe will find out that you were the one who leaked the address of the Demon Sect?"

"He can't find the truth, and even if he does, so what? He is the culprit. And... do you think that after this disaster, the Demon Cult is still the same Demon Cult? The Demon Cult's masters died one after another, and the rest are either old or young. Moreover, their valuables have been looted by me. It will take the Demon Cult a hundred years to recover." He was not truly merciful. All he left behind was a group of old, weak and sick people in the cave.

Without people and money, even if Zhezhe has extraordinary abilities, he can't accomplish anything great by himself.

Rather than letting someone he doesn't understand lead the Demon Cult, the Ninth Prince would rather use Zhezhe, at least he understands Zhezhe.

Feng Qingchen stared at the Ninth Uncle in a daze and nodded silently.

The Ninth Prince won. The little fox, Zhezhe, was no match for the old fox, the Ninth Prince. The mess that was the Demon Cult was enough to give Zhezhe a headache. He would probably be dragged down by the Demon Cult for the rest of his life.

Want to avenge the murder of his father and the destruction of his religion? It depends on whether he has the ability to do so.

The matter of the Demon Cult came to an end, and Feng Qingchen let go of Zhezhe. Anyway, with the Ninth Prince around, Zhezhe couldn't cause any trouble.

Feng Qingchen pulled out a battle report and handed it to the Ninth Uncle: "Prince Luo and Nanling Jinfan have been in the miasma forest for more than a month, but they have only killed 5,000 of Xiling Tianlei's troops. Should we go later?"

I have to say that Xiling Tianlei is really a tough nut to crack. Taking advantage of the geographical location, Xiling Tianlei forced Dongling Ziluo and Xiling Jinfan to stay there, leaving them in a dilemma. Zhou Wang and Jinxing must be very happy.

The military achievement of Prince Luo and Nanling Jinfan was not easy to obtain. Dongling and Nanling also suffered great losses in this battle. Even if they won in the end, they would not be able to earn back the military pay.

Hundreds of thousands of troops have been there for a month, and I don't know how much food and grass they have consumed. It is estimated that the people led by King Zhou have already labeled King Luo as incompetent.

The Ninth Prince quickly glanced through the battle report and shook his head, saying, "There is no need. Xiling Tianlei just keeps hiding and has no intention of fighting. Ziluo and Nanling Jinfan are also unable to make up their minds to attack. If we wait any longer, it will be the same."

Xiling Tianlei hid in the miasma forest and refused to come out to fight. Unless King Luo and Nanling Jinfan were determined to attack, otherwise...

They could only keep on wasting time like this until Xiling Tianlei ran out of food.

Judging from the situation, the two sides have been fighting for a month. Dongling Ziluo and Nanling Jinfan will definitely choose to continue fighting.

One reason is that they cannot afford the loss of rushing into the miasma forest, and the other is that they have spent so much time, they certainly cannot accept giving up.

Dongling Ziluo and Nanling Jinfan are now in a difficult situation. They have to fight to the death, otherwise it would mean that their previous decision was wrong, and they would not be able to convince the public at all.

In this battle, both Xiling Tianlei and Dongling Ziluo felt very frustrated. Unless there was external force joining in, they could only waste time until one side could no longer afford it...
