"Yes, Elder Gong. We understand."
The Divine Power Territory guards replied respectfully.
He naturally dared not be careless.
Although the Little Demon Sovereign’s prestige is very high, factions abound in the Real Demon Palace, with a mix of various elents, and openly and secretly countless people wish for the Little Demon Sovereign’s life. From a young age, Chao Qianjue had already experienced nurous assassination attempts.
As guards, they naturally understand that the more crucial the mont, the less they can relax their vigilance.
As they were speaking, the atmosphere in the hall slowly began to restrain.
This ant that the person inside was also about to co out.
The crowd imdiately stopped speaking.
Sure enough, after a few monts, a figure pushed the door open and walked out.
It was a young man with a resolute face and a stern expression.
He was draped in only a black robe, with the collar casually open, looking quite unconventional, yet the aura was stable and majestic, carrying a kind of sharp commanding presence.
This young man, naturally, was the Little Demon Sovereign Chao Qianjue.
The Divine Power Territory guard was startled and imdiately stepped forward, bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Young Master."
The other guards also quickly bowed respectfully, their attitude reverent, not daring to slacken the slightest.
There were at least dozens of guards present, so many people also bowed in unison, making the young man’s presence even more majestic.
"You may rise."
The Little Demon Sovereign Chao Qianjue waved his hand, and his cold face showed no expression.
"Congratulations on completing your retreat, Young Master, and on your cultivation base advancing to a higher level." Chao Clan Tribute Gong Litu also changed his previous coldness and dignity, smiled as he approached, and cupped his hands in congratulations, "With your current strength, inheriting the True Demon Sutra is just around the corner, and you will surely be invincible in the future, overpowering the Immortal Dynasty."
"Elder Gong exaggerates." The Little Demon Sovereign Chao Qianjue waved his hand indifferently, "It’s too early to talk about inheriting the True Demon Sutra now. Firstly, the Old Ancestor still relies on the True Demon Sutra to resist the Immortal Supre, secondly, the true title has not yet been settled. If it is spread, others will inevitably gossip behind our backs, saying our Chao Clan acts overbearingly, privately appointing the successor of the Real Demon Palace."
Gong Litu laughed and said: "The Young Master is overly cautious. With your bloodline talent, even throughout history, among all previous successors, you are among the best. Just looking at the current young generation, who has the qualifications to compete with you for the successor of the Real Demon Palace?"
As a Tribute of the Chao Clan, Gong Litu naturally holds this Young Master in high regard.
Not only is the Young Master’s bloodline talent exceptional, but his style is also reminiscent of the revered Demon Lord, skillful and decisive, highly visionary, truly a person who can achieve great things.
Once the Young Master ascends, he will inevitably lead the Chao Clan to beco stronger, and the Tribute Families attached to the Chao Clan will surely rise as well.
The Little Demon Sovereign Chao Qianjue only laughed easily and indifferently changed the subject: "How is the situation on the Yan Kingdom side?"
"The battle situation between the Yan Kingdom and the Liang Country is quite stalemate, both parties fighting fiercely but unable to do anything to each other." Gong Litu hurriedly composed himself, and while answering, he asked quietly, "Young Master, the Yan Kingdom Imperial Household has sent a secret envoy requesting an audience. But earlier, you were always in retreat, and we were not in a position to make decisions."
The Little Demon Sovereign slightly furrowed his brow: "The Yan Kingdom Imperial Household is, after all, my maternal clan. Elder Gong, please trouble yourself to take my token and dispatch three elite battalions from the Demonic Hall to secretly infiltrate the Yan Kingdom to assist in the battle, striving to settle the outco in one strike."
Gong Litu’s face showed slight hesitation, advising: "Young Master, currently the situation in the realm is tense, and there has long been an understanding between His Majesty the Demon Emperor and the Immortal Emperor, restricting each other temporarily, not provoking the next bout of the Immortal Demon War. The Demon Sovereign has also given instructions."
"If we support the Yan Kingdom, should the ssage leak, prompting both sides to continuously deploy troops in the Yan and Liang countries, will it lead to further escalation of conflict and eventually beco the trigger for another Immortal Demon War?"
"Elder Gong, I’ve naturally considered your concerns. But while we harbor fears, doesn’t the Immortal Dynasty have fears too? You don’t need to worry too much, just have our battalion disguise as the Yan Kingdom’s Imperial Household’s trusted aides and quickly seize those two disputed counties." The Little Demon Sovereign calmly said, "Even if Liang Country suspects, as long as there is no substantial evidence, what can they do?"
"Young Master is wise." Gong Litu said with cupped hands, "I will handle this matter shortly."
While speaking, the two had already left the retreat hall and arrived at the study they usually use for discussions.
Compared to the retreat area, this study’s layout is more grand, and the decoration more luxurious, every inch displaying the deep heritage of the Real Demon Palace.
The Little Demon Sovereign sat down in his place, casually picked up the Level Twelve sunflower tea offered by the attendant, took a sip before asking another question he cared about: "How is the situation on Muzhen Continent?"
Compared to the disputes between the Yan and Liang countries, what he cares more about is the situation on Muzhen Continent.
That continent is almost equivalent to the entire Demonic Dynasty’s thirty percent of direct territories, its importance far surpassing the Yan and Liang countries.
Thus, the Little Demon Sovereign had already been laying out everything early.
However, this grand layout is planned for after he ascends to Demon Lord.
If, under his strategizing, he can unite Muzhen Continent in one stroke, it will undoubtedly create a situation where the Immortal Dynasty declines while the Demonic Dynasty rises, and he will thus gain much prestige, thereby gathering more strength to gradually squeeze the living space of the Immortal Dynasty.
"Our infiltration into Xia and Zhou countries is quite successful, secretly strengthening control and often instigating internal conflicts, weakening their cohesion. Once you, Young Master, achieve becoming the Demon Lord, we can launch a blitzkrieg, inside and outside cooperation to capture the entire Muzhen Continent in one stroke." Gong Litu hesitated as he spoke, "However, recently, one of the plans hasn’t been going smoothly."
