The Journey of Immortal Cultivation Chapter 382 - 227: Scheming

Power and authority are such things; she was too busy heading West to nurse them herself, so she had to borrow them from others for the ti being. Friendship from the Second Young Master from Fengtian Prefecture thus beca very precious. If this ti she could help Miluo escape from the jaws of death, not only would there be no pursuers from Fengtian Prefecture for the ti being, but this giant might also provide her with useful assistance.

"Fengtian Prefecture also has an Eldest Young Master, my half-brother Qing Ji, who has always been at odds with . These pursuers were sent by him," Miluo said indifferently.

"Over the years, he has always shown ambition beyond his talents, and I never took him seriously. Seeing that our father’s ti is soon coming to an end, and he intends to hand over the head of the family position to , I guess he harbored thoughts of getting rid of ," he continued.

Feuds among the wealthy, she knew all about it: "Why did he choose this ti to strike against you?"

"This ti, it was my negligence; I deserved this calamity," Miluo sighed and continued, "He has always been much weaker than . Recently, two large spirit stone veins were discovered on my territory in the West. While I was leading the Black Armored Army fighting against a formidable enemy in the North, he worried that once the war was over and I started mining the spirit stones, my power would grow even further, and he would no longer be able to compete with . So, he took the chance to strike this dark blow."

It’s worth ntioning that the structure of the Demon Sect differs from that of the Human Clan’s Immortal Sect. Because demons place importance on the purity of bloodline, the Demon Sect internally often maintains relationships through kinship, with many Great Demons holding territories assigned by the sect. Fengtian Prefecture possesses thirty-seven states, more than one-tenth of all the states and counties, with Qing Ji having six states and Miluo holding eight, even more than the territories typically occupied by an Immortal Sect.

This guy, he’s a rich second generation and an official’s second son. Ning Xiaoxian’s eyes shone with excitent as she asured Miluo up and down, causing the hair on his back to stand up.

"During the battle on the North Line, I was ambushed from behind, and I suspect Qing Ji colluded with the enemy. If I can escape from this predicant, I will certainly repay him tenfold," Miluo said in a calm tone, but the malicious intent in his words was clear. The Black Armored Demon Soldiers were his trump card and also his painstaking effort. As the commanding general, Miluo was ambushed on the battlefield, and his direct army must have also faced serious losses.

This is a blood feud that won’t end until death, even if the opponent is his brother, sharing the sa Sky Fox bloodline, reconciliation is no longer possible.

"Your father, has he no stance on this?" Letting his own sons slaughter each other, what a cold-hearted father.

Miluo glanced at her, his fox face showing no expression, but she still felt he was smiling. "The Demon Clan is not like humans with their pretentious sentints; to get what one wants, one must fight for it. Our Sky Fox bloodline has given us our current positions, and if we want to climb higher, we must rely on our own abilities to seize it. It has always been this way in Fengtian Prefecture, and our father also fought for the position of the Family Head from his own brothers."

"However, since we’re after all using Fengtian Prefecture’s resources in this strife, the old man won’t let us be too reckless. Although he’s aging and almost senile, he can still investigate matters like colluding with external enemies," Miluo concluded, "So this ti it’s a desperate struggle for Qing Ji; if he fails to kill , it will be his turn to die by my hand."

This also ans that Eldest Young Master Qing Ji’s pursuit of Miluo will be relentless from now on. If this clever and resourceful younger brother escapes with his life, he will face a furious counterattack.

"Qing Ji didn’t dare make too much of a show, so those he sent must be his trusted aides," he sneered, "I have so guess about who these people might be."

As for the journey ahead, Ning Xiaoxian wasn’t as worried as Miluo, for a simple reason: she had the God Demon Prison in her possession. If worst cos to worst, she could just toss the Second Young Master of Fengtian Prefecture inside, and not even the immortals could find him...

Next, the two discussed for half an hour and settled on a plan for leaving the city. At this mont, they were like two locusts tied on a string. Ning Xiaoxian instructed Qiongqi to prepare a few good dicines for Miluo, and squeezed out a small bottle of Fu Bat’s Demon Blood for him to drink. Therefore, by evening, the external injuries on Miluo’s body had healed. After recuperating for another four or five days, his demonic power would also initially recover, and then he would again be the handso and powerful Second Young Master of Fengtian Prefecture.

The effectiveness of the dicine on her was truly extraordinary. Miluo watched her a few tis, deciding to be unfazed. If not for her low strength, based solely on her Alchemy skills, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to have her serve as Tribute in Fengtian Prefecture.
