The Mirror Demon King said, "That’s right, making a verbal judgnt is easy, but truly verifying it is hard. However, this person managed to do it, and after decades of research, he found a way to eliminate the Demon Blood within Centaurs without harming their lives, simply turning them back into horses. This is the Demon-Expelling Return Elixir!"
Lanling said, "The Elixir King again?"
The Mirror Demon King said, "Yes, the Elixir King again!"
Lanling said, "He was once your ntal slave?"
"No, he was my friend, the Pri Minister of my Mirror Empire!" The Mirror Demon King sighed and said, "He was incredibly ugly. In order to win over the woman he loved, he gave her the Curse E Dan, which would make her rapidly beco ugly and old if she didn’t take the antidote annually, ultimately dying in agony. Despite his deep love for his wife, she felt that every day with him was torture and thus took her own life. The Elixir King, left alone, was very tornted and sought a way to rember his wife without such pain. Hence, he traveled the world and eventually ca to my domain."
Lanling said, "Did he fall into your ntal trap?"
"No!" The Mirror Demon King said, "He saw through my ntal trap at a glance, then asked my help to alleviate his inner pain without forgetting his wife. So, he stayed and beca my Mirror Empire’s Pri Minister."
Lanling said, "Did you ease his pain?"
"No!" The Mirror Demon King said, "A person too smart cannot deceive themselves, and eventually, he still committed suicide! He committed suicide in my domain, leaving behind his elixirs, his mories."
Lanling was silent for a while, then said, "Mirror, you planned for to seek out the Centaur Tribe long ago, didn’t you?"
"Yes!" The Mirror Demon King said, "You need an incredibly powerful cavalry."
"I should be grateful to you, but I find myself liking you even less." Lanling said.
The Mirror Demon King said, "I know, because you don’t want to be manipulated by anyone, even if I’m your shadow, a part of you, an insignificant, humble part. Master, anyone in this world might betray you, except for , because I am essentially a part of you. I am your shadow."
Lanling was silent for a while and said, "The Demon-Expelling Return Elixir?"
The Mirror Demon King said, "Still within the treasure beneath the lake!"
...
Lanling found the Demon-Expelling Return Elixir!
Before leaving the Fla Demon Tribe, he t soone, Du Yan!
"The Fla Demon Tribe is once again in imminent danger. If you want to leave, I won’t stop you." Lanling said.
If Du Yan really chose to leave, would Lanling stop him?
He wouldn’t stop him, he would just cut off his head.
Du Yan knelt down and said, "Chieftain, I... I’m not afraid of death, I just crave recognition, glory, and the gaze of others!"
This statent was very true!
In fact, Ling Ao also wasn’t afraid of death!
He longed to stand out, craved riches, the admiration of won, and the adoration of thousands.
The reason he was subservient to Zhi Li, even willing to offer his woman, was because he believed Zhi Li could give him such an opportunity.
In his heart, achieving success and establishing his career was more important than won.
Later, the reason he was unwilling to submit to Lanling was that he couldn’t get past the ntal barrier, the barrier of jealousy.
But Du Yan managed to overco this barrier.
When Lanling defeated Constantine, he overca this barrier.
This barrier was: I, Du Yan, revered Chieftain Constantine, but since Lanling defeated Constantine, there is no problem for to reverence Lanling.
This is similar to how Korea and Japan look down on China, thinking China is backward. If one day, China could truly defeat the United States, their psychological barrier would be lifted, and they could comfortably submit. Before that, the inner disdain these two countries hold for China would absolutely not change.
Lanling nodded and said, "Okay, I understand!"
Then, Lanling bid farewell to Suo Mo, Dina, Duoduo, Duolong, Gantuo, and others.
"I’ll definitely be back in a month! During this ti, the Fla Demon Tribe is entrusted to you all."
"Rember four things: morale and unity, giant catapults, giant crossbows, city walls!"
For the Fla Demon Tribe, the strongest defense now is morale and unity.
And the giant catapults and giant crossbows can act as secret weapons to inflict widespread damage on the enemy in a month. Building robust city walls can protect the people behind them.
"Yes!" Suo Mo and others said.
Lanling stroked Dina’s cheek and touched her belly, casting a glance at her.
"I understand, husband!" Dina said.
She truly understood; Lanling ant that if Gantuo posed any threat, she should kill him imdiately!
That night, under the cover of darkness, Lanling rode the Golden-maned Gryphon Beast, flying toward the Centaur Tribe nearly five thousand miles to the southwest!
...
Ti returns to two years ago!
The Headless Knight poured the Ancient Demon King’s blood into Crown Prince Lan Tu’s body.
Suddenly, this demonic blood energy flowed into his heart.
The desert’s extre dryness ant the body of Night Orchid Duchy’s Crown Prince Lan Tu had not decayed but was rather desiccated. Thus, his heart had long been shriveled and dried.
When the demonic blood energy entered, this heart began to swell, to morph demonically, to revive.
