“Yes, I said so,” Chen Sangruo readily agreed.
Thus, Qi Yan successfully fell into her trap.
There was no other way; she was currently the only person who could help him remove the influence of demonic energy.
After seeing a glimmer of hope, his long-dormant heart was rekindled, and his desire to return to normalcy only grew stronger. Qi Yan really didn't want to delay any longer.
"Then I will form an alliance with you this time. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"
Hearing Qi Yan's words, Shen Sanruo curled her lips and smiled at Qingluan Fairy and Linghu Min.
Done.
The two were clearly still a bit confused, wondering how the radicals had managed to win over Qi Yan, and how he had so easily turned against them.
Qi Yan sided with the radicals, intending to sow discord between the two factions and destroy the place he loathed, Misty Abyss.
Because of the restrictions, he couldn't target the conservatives, which is why he made this crazy decision.
Although he claimed to be on the side of the radicals, he actually only played a role in exacerbating the conflict; he had no intention of taking action, nor could he.
But now that he has a way to return to normal, there is no need for him to cooperate with the radicals anymore.
“Help us wipe out the radicals,” Chen Sangruo said in a clear voice. “I think that shouldn’t be too difficult for Young Master Qiyan, right?”
She naturally thought of the judgment formation.
Qi Yan once said that his divine status was affected by demonic energy, and judgment is his last ability as one of the Five Divine Beasts.
Those radical demonic cultivators are stained with the blood and flesh of countless cultivators and the Azure Phoenix Clan, and they will certainly not pass the trial.
Qi Yan could then execute them.
Qingluan Fairy stared intently at Qiyan, and Linghu Min's eyes also held a hint of anticipation.
If it were Qi Yan, he might actually be able to wipe out the radicals in one fell swoop.
That's the Qilin, one of the Five Divine Beasts.
However, Qi Yan's expression was strange. He stammered for a while before saying with an ugly look, "You think too highly of me."
"It's true that I'm very strong, but you know that my abilities are affected by demonic energy. I can judge one by one, but you expect me to wipe out the entire radical faction?" Qi Yan curled his lips, his meaning clear.
Even though he was half corrupted by evil, he still remembered his responsibilities as one of the Five Divine Beasts.
He was also inclined to try the radicals, who were utterly wicked, as a way to make amends for his years of dereliction of duty.
But his idea was to take it one step at a time.
As the influence of demonic energy was cleared, his abilities gradually returned, allowing him to judge more quickly and eventually eliminate them all.
"Such a large number of them would probably require me to summon the judgment array for several months. Moreover, I cannot directly judge their good and evil; I would need some medium that can define their behavior."
Shen Sanruo gleaned the key information from Qi Yan's words: "In other words, given enough time, you are capable of summoning a sufficiently large judgment array, right?"
Qi Yan choked. Was that the point?
Isn't the main point that this is simply too difficult to do?
"Then tell me, can you summon the formation?" she asked again.
Being able to summon the Judgment Array is already more than half the battle won; the other problems are insignificant. We can figure out a way to solve them one by one.
This is currently the best way to eliminate the radicals, and she won't let this opportunity slip by.
"It is possible, but it would take a very long time, and I don't have a means to judge them," Qi Yan explained his concerns.
"Use my blood." The Azure Phoenix Fairy suddenly spoke up, her icy voice revealing a resolute determination.
The decisive action of making all radicals pay with their lives.
Shen Sanruo added at the right moment, "Every radical has used the Blood Pool. The power they stole from the Azure Phoenix Clan is irrefutable proof of their sins."
"The blood of the Azure Phoenix Fairy is the best medium for the Judgment Array."
The radicals probably never imagined that the power and lifespan they had so jokingly stolen would eventually become a crucial blade, stabbing them hard in the heart.
The solution to this predicament was thus personally delivered to them.
At this moment, Qingluan Fairy's words were like a heavy hammer of judgment, falling and sentencing the radicals to death.
Shen Sanruo looked at Qiyan with an unusually serious expression, "You have the time, you have the means, and the problems have all been resolved. Are you ready to judge them?"
Qi Yan pondered the matter intently, and his expression clearly showed that the plan was indeed feasible.
"But where is the formation set up? Such a large-scale operation wouldn't go unnoticed by the radicals. Even if it's set up, they're not stupid; why would they walk into the formation?"
Her eyes darted around, and she had already come up with a plan: "The formation will be set up on the side of the conservatives, and they will not walk into the formation voluntarily."
Shen Sanruo raised her eyes, a hint of cunning in them, "But what if I, as the Demon Lord, led them to attack the conservative faction and made them willingly step into the formation?"
He then turned to Linghu Min, "This matter requires the cooperation of the conservatives. During this period, the conservatives must follow my arrangements. Is Chief Linghu willing to cooperate?"
She had this concern from the beginning, worried that Linghu Min didn't trust her and was unwilling to hand over the conservative faction to her.
But now that Qi Yan is in charge, whether out of pressure or because they believe in her abilities, it's more likely that they'll be willing to hand over the conservative faction to her for management.
Just as she had expected, after a brief moment of hesitation, Linghu Min solemnly said to her:
"Both the conservatives and I believe in our young friend Sang Ruo and are willing to do everything we can to cooperate with you."
Conservatives have suffered from the oppression of radicals for many years. Who would want to have a lurking enemy by their side all the time? Of course, they want to eliminate this threat forever.
Moreover, he had also seen Shen Sangruo's abilities.
Being able to disguise herself as Ya Lan, infiltrate the radical faction alone, and control Qi Yan within a few days, leaving the conservative faction to her, was definitely the right choice.
The idea that Linghu Min had inexplicably had suddenly come true at this moment.
The one who resolved the crisis of the conservatives was indeed this outsider cultivator who suddenly appeared in the Misty Abyss.
"Thank you for your trust, Chief Linghu. I will certainly not let you down." Her tone was equally earnest.
At this moment, all problems have been solved, and all that remains is for Qi Yan to summon the formation.
Qi Yan stopped making excuses and gave the time required for the summoning array: "Give me about half a year."
Shen Sangruo nodded, noting that this coincided with the radicals' plan to attack the conservatives.
The radical faction's magical artifact, capable of destroying the barrier from within, may take more than six months to successfully forge.
Once successfully refined, a full-scale attack will be launched against the conservatives.
It will be a little later than the completion time of the formation, but this time is within her control.
After all, she was the one who arranged things for the conservatives. As a powerful demon lord, it's reasonable that she accidentally discovered a way to break the barrier, right?
