"Things always turn around to the opposite direction. The more extre the Absolute Sect is towards our demons, the more resistance there is within them to this approach. After so many years, discontent has grown; what's been lacking is an opportunity, a guide—demons and humans can coexist!"
Li Shiquan said slowly.
But Bai Wanxi suddenly stood up, planted a foot on a stool, and then raised her hand in an exaggerated gesture of looking skyward: "I an, the sun hasn't started rising from the west, so why are people starting to dream?"
Bai Wanxi grinned, her face suddenly taking on a ferocious cast, as an intense chill naturally emanated from her.
Crack crack!
The spontaneously spreading frost imdiately froze the table and even the steaming tea.
Bai Wanxi suddenly leaned close to Li Shiquan, their faces nearly touching.
Opening her mouth, her breath directly hit Li Shiquan's face.
"Demons and humans living together? You believe such nonsense?"
Li Shiquan extended his hand and gently pushed Bai Wanxi's face away.
"There are always those who are kind-hearted and wish for peaceful coexistence. Hundreds of years of nurturing extre evil give birth to extre good—what's the problem with that? The Absolute Sect needs to seek change."
"...Humans really are so stupid that they deserve to be hunted by us to the brink of extinction."
Bai Wanxi returned to her seat, lightly tapping her fingernail and shattering the thin layer of ice on the tea table.
"So, you're planning to use people from the Absolute Sect to help us complete the plan? Does Lord Lan know about this?"
ntioning Lord Lan, Li Shiquan's expression beca more solemn.
"Without Lord Lan's permission, I have no right to interfere."
"So, what do we need to give? Don't co at with any talk of peaceful coexistence. The Absolute Sect might be mad, but that doesn't an they're brainless."
Bai Wanxi cut to the heart of the matter.
Li Shiquan laughed, and extended a finger.
"They want the 'Buddha's Heart.'"
As soon as the words were out, Bai Wanxi's pupils contracted sharply.
"What a big appetite! How dare they!!"
Smack!
Slapping the table, Bai Wanxi stood up in a fury!
The Buddha's Heart, that was sothing that demons of their level couldn't even dream of touching.
The Absolute Sect dared to ask for the moon! If they didn't wipe out this batch of the Absolute Sect, they'd be looked down upon by the others in their circle from now on!
"Don't panic, what they want is a dead Buddha's Heart, just a stone."
"A stone?"
Bai Wanxi scoffed.
"Can you afford to provide it? A stone!"
...
Li Shiquan averted his gaze slightly.
"Lord Lan will provide it."
"...If this plan wasn't led by Lord Lan, I would have broken with you already. To trade 'Buddha's Heart' with humans, to put it seriously, could be considered a betrayal of the Demon Clan."
Taking a deep breath, Bai Wanxi cald herself down.
"To pay such a price, just to get the people from the Absolute Sect to take action? Are they worthy? Is their Sect Leader personally going to aid us?"
"It's not that. As for the specifics, wait for Lord Lan to give the news himself. It's not the right ti yet. You just need to know about this."
Seeing that Li Shiquan was unwilling to reveal too much, Bai Wanxi did not ask further.
However, her good mood had indeed been drastically spoiled.
Seeing the scene below also lost its appeal.
Suddenly, as if rembering sothing, she spoke up.
"Right, the test subjects that Lord Lan wants, I heard that there are already suitable targets, haven't they?"
"They've been caught, but... progress isn't ideal."
Bai Wanxi's expression turned serious: "I've always said human bloodlines are impure, far from being as suitable as ours, the demons, to serve as hosts. If Lord Lan needs it, I am always willing to offer up my body!"
Most demons believe in the superiority of purebloods.
Pure bloodlines imply greater potential, stronger power.
But the task Lord Lan intends to accomplish seems to require more than just pure bloodlines. As for the specifics, Li Shiquan doesn't quite understand either.
"Tianyuan Town is still not stable. If sothing happens to you, it will affect our major plan."
"Then find another Pure Blood Demon to take my place. Didn't you tell before, to recruit a Pure Blood Demon? How's that going now?"
Hearing this, Li Shiquan's face darkened.
"Don't even think about using my people! Be careful, or I'll turn against you!"
"Scared? Hehehehe!"
Bai Wanxi made an exaggerated gesture of fear, patting her chest in mock terror, then her expression shifted and she chuckled slyly.
"Don't be so angry. With so many demons under my command, there will always be one suitable to offer as tribute to Lord Lan. It's an honor!"
...
Li Shiquan harbored complex feelings for Lord Lan.
But Bai Wanxi's were much simpler.
It was an almost mad reverence, treating him like a deity.
There's nothing wrong with that; Lord Lan had always been leading us forward.
The torrents of the tis are surging forward; if we don't progress, we'll be crushed alive.
Lord Lan is saving our lives, and for that, paying a price is only right.
Glancing at the situation below, the Lin Family and Li Family Elites had suffered heavy casualties, and... all of them were human elites!
Annoying figures had been cleared out in an instant, and the rest could be manipulated in the shadows.
In the Li Family, the day when we demons would reign supre was not far off.
Only so of the tough old mbers from the Lin Family remained difficult to handle.
Contemplating the upcoming plans in her mind, Li Shiquan suddenly got up.
"It's about ti for to wrap things up below."
"Go ahead, I'll head back soon too."
Bai Wanxi waved her hand dismissively.
Once Li Shiquan had left, Bai Wanxi narrowed her eyes, her gaze shifting towards... Li Shidao below!
"Do you think I don't know anything? Isn't it right before my eyes, a Pure Blood Wood Demon! Hehehehe...heeheehee!!"
