Huai Bingyi’s words were left unfinished.
He harbored a secret he had never disclosed to anyone, which was that he knew Suo Lun was the World-Ending Demon Emperor far earlier than anyone else, at least much earlier than Fu Lingxi.
At that ti, Suo Lun was kidnapped by Princess Yuanyuan of the Demon State and taken to Pagoda Island in the Western Sea. Princess Zhi Yan went alone to rescue him but fell into the Dream of Decay, transforming from emotionless to emotional, and gave herself to Lanling.
Afterward, Huai Bingyi piloted a great sea ship to pick up Suo Lun and Zhi Yan Princess from Pagoda Island.
On the sea, Huai Bingyi spent days and nights with Suo Lun, playing chess and playing the zither.
During that ti, Huai Bingyi had a certain confirmation of Suo Lun’s identity as Yao Xing.
Because Huai Bingyi’s brain had been modified, there should be no smarter mind in the world than his, at least in the skill of chess, no one could surpass him.
But Lanling surpassed him, which indicated a problem.
Afterward, Huai Bingyi secretly investigated Suo Lun’s life trajectory, especially a few years ago in the Demon Mountain Range, where he should have died but ca back to life. After coming back, he seed to have completely transford, becoming incredibly wise and insightful.
Countless signs indicated that Suo Lun should be the master of Yao Xing.
However, Huai Bingyi still stayed put. Because, as he said, he didn’t need the credit, the current World-Ending Demon Emperor was too weak.
A pig must be fattened before being slaughtered.
However, unexpectedly, it was Fu Lingxi, that vile woman, who discovered it early and couldn’t wait to spill it out.
At that ti, Huai Bingyi was truly enraged. It felt as if, while playing mahjong, Huai Bingyi was painstakingly building up for a big clean win, planning to win a million. But Fu Lingxi, upon getting a good tile, couldn’t wait to make a trash hand, winning just ten thousand and celebrating joyfully, effectively causing Huai Bingyi’s entire good hand to stifle in his own hand.
Yet, unexpectedly, fortune took care.
Suo Lun didn’t die, he revived, and moreover, he established a huge situation in the Southern Barbaric Lands.
Truly heaven’s blessing, how could Huai Bingyi bear to kill Lanling now?
He must wait until Lanling becos the major threat to the Dragon Temple, and then eradicate him in one fell swoop. In doing so, he would beco the pillar that turns the tide.
One could say, the stronger Lanling becos in the future, the greater Huai Bingyi’s credit would be.
In Huai Bingyi’s heart, he even wanted to utilize Lanling to beco the first leader of the Sky Holy Palace.
Therefore, anyone daring to kill Lanling now would be his mortal enemy.
"Keep constant surveillance on Zhi Ao, ensuring he utters not a single word, especially to the Demon Continent, to that vile woman Fu Lingxi. Once any tendency to reveal the secret is detected, imdiately destroy his brain domain." Huai Bingyi instructed.
The grey shadow replied, "Yes!"
Huai Bingyi said, "The Sky Holy Palace will grant Zhi Yan a short leave, allowing her to return to the Rage Wave Kingdom. Let’s see if Zhi Ao will tell her? If Zhi Ao doesn’t report to Zhi Yan within three days, erase Zhi Ao’s mory, and we’ll think of another way to probe Zhi Yan."
"Yes!" the grey shadow replied, "If we find out Zhi Yan still has feelings for Suo Lun?"
Huai Bingyi’s gaze narrowed, sighing, "Then I wouldn’t have much ti to waste on her."
Then, Huai Bingyi instructed, "Have the covert agents continue in the Southern Barbaric Lands, absolutely make no hasty moves, and do not transmit any ssages outside, to lay low completely."
"Yes!" the grey shadow replied.
...
Lanling returned to the Fla Demon Banner Territory with Yu Die.
Everyone’s hearts were relieved, and the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed at the Fla Demon Banner and Blue Demon Banner also withdrew.
If Lanling hadn’t returned in three days, Hei Zhou and Chiyan Khan would have led their troops to invade the Blue Demon Banner Territory to comnce a slaughter.
Back in the Fla Demon Banner Territory, Lanling still felt everything that happened in Rakshasa City was like a dream.
Before this, he had always regarded the Little Rakshasa King as his greatest enemy.
However, he never expected that the Little Rakshasa King turned out to be his greatest protector and loyalist.
But it’s inaccurate to describe the Little Rakshasa King as a loyalist, for he had no intention of worshipping Lanling.
He was loyal only to his own ideals, for his days were numbered, and in his view, Lanling was almost the only one who could fulfill his ideals.
Upon returning to Fla Demon City, Lanling was once again engulfed in countless pieces of work.
Many people lined up to report to him.
After quite so ti, Lanling suddenly rembered, wondering why he hadn’t seen Yin Ji.
Her role should have been equivalent to Lanling’s chief assistant, and she was usually the first to report work to him.
After asking, Lanling received an answer that surprised him.
Yin Ji was sick!
How could she be sick, knowing she had a trace of his own Demon Bloodline within her, even though due to her own bloodline, even with so of Lanling’s Demon Blood energy, she couldn’t, like Xie Li Khan, the Death Warriors, be immortal.
But she should definitely be immune to all diseases.
Ali had always had a relatively weak body, but after receiving so of Lanling’s Demon Blood, she never fell ill again.
Yin Ji being sick? Could it be a heart illness, or was she feigning sickness to seek attention?
However, upon seeing her, Lanling dismissed this possibility.
Yin Ji was truly ill, with a pale face and weak breath.
There was no cough, no pain, just extre weakness.
"I don’t know why, but that night while working late, a sudden gust blew out the lamp. I felt a blackout, and then I was unconscious!" Yin Ji weakly said.
Lanling nodded.
Reaching out to touch Yin Ji’s forehead, she didn’t have a fever.
"Seal Lan Yin’s room, keep everything as is, don’t let anyone in or out, and don’t let anyone destroy the scene," Lanling said.
"Yes!" Gou Li, who stood behind, replied.
...
Queen Zhiyan had been practicing high-level martial arts in the Sky Holy Palace for two months now, with about four more months left in her training cycle.
But this morning, her teacher unexpectedly granted her a two-week leave to handle political affairs in the Rage Wave Kingdom.
Queen Zhiyan was slightly puzzled, then rode a Griffin Beast and left the Sky Holy Palace, returning to the Rage Wave Kingdom!
Returning to the Wangcheng Zidu, she, like Lanling, had countless affairs to manage.
Despite entrusting the political affairs to the cabinet, so matters could only be decided by the King.
After signing nurous morials and eting with one official after another,
this work continued through the night; only then could she catch so rest.
Her residence was the palace atop the Purple Jade Mountain, with no one else within several hundred ters.
She had left everything as it was, without moving anything, ever since King Zibian passed away in this place where she remained.
Then in the early morning today, surprisingly, her teacher said she could take a short break and go back to the Rage Wave Kingdom. To see if Zhi Ao would say anything to her. If he had not reported to her within three days, they would wipe Zhi Ao’s mory and try a different approach to test Zhi Yan."
In the midst of signing countless morials, she received one visitor after another.
Late into the night, when she was finally alone within her chamber, she began to ditate on the events that had transpired.
Suddenly, a soft whisper pierced the silence.
"Your Majesty," it said.
She turned to see Duke Zhi Ao step forward from the shadows.
"What business do you have at this hour?" demanded Zhi Yan.
The Duke hesitated, gathered his courage, and approached, whispering so no one else would hear. "It concerns Suo Lun."
She fixed her gaze on Zhi Ao, her eyes reflecting a flicker of intrigue and apprehension.
