The Sky Holy Palace was enveloped in silence!
Even Fu Lingxi’s expression was extrely unsightly.
It took several minutes before Lord Wu Ya of the Demon Star Pavilion laughed and said, "Our Demon Star Lord seems to be quite remarkable!"
At this mont, he was joking effortlessly, but his gaze was intense, with not a hint of amusent.
Fu Lingxi said, "What should we do? Should we let the Misfortune Priest invade the Southern Barbaric Lands, destroy the Fla Demon Empire, and capture Lanling? If we act now, it would be easy to destroy him."
Among the people present, Fu Lingxi held the lowest status and had a unique background, allowing him to speak freely.
If the Dragon Temple sent forces to destroy the Fla Demon Empire now, capturing Lanling would indeed be easy. However, capturing the Hell Knight would be out of the question, implying the admission that the previous strategy was wrong!
The Dragon Temple’s strategy has always been: unwavering Hell Knights, fleeting Demon Star Lords.
Only by eliminating all Hell Knights can long-term peace be truly achieved. Historically, most Demon Star Lords fail to accomplish anything and rarely live to inherit the Demon Emperor’s title. Therefore, eliminating Hell Knights is deed more crucial than eliminating Demon Star Lords.
However, this Demon Star Lord Lanling seems exceptionally unique!
So, should the Dragon Temple’s subtle strategy be adjusted?
Lord Wu Ya of the Demon Star Pavilion and Priest Gu Ban of the Sky exchanged looks without speaking.
This is because any statent or decision made at this mont carries political responsibility.
"Why not hold a eting?" suggested Priest Gu Ban.
Lord Wu Ya of the Demon Star Pavilion replied, "Alright, let’s have all Sky Priests, and the Sky Judge attend the eting to decide!"
Thus, the Dragon Temple convened the highest authority eting due to Lanling’s unexpected victory.
The conference had only one agenda: whether to preemptively eliminate Lanling, the Demon Star Lord.
Suddenly, Lord Wu Ya of the Demon Star Pavilion said, "Allow two people to attend the eting as observers, Fu Lingxi, Zhi Yan!"
Priest Gu Ban of the Sky hesitated montarily and then said, "Alright."
Lord Wu Ya of the Demon Star Pavilion added, "After all, Gray Gu is the executor of the Southern Barbaric Lands strategy, let him attend as an observer, what do you think?"
Gu Ban replied, "Lord Wu Ya is thoughtful."
Then Gu Ban said, "What about the Dark Priests supporting the Tiancha King?"
Gray Gu responded, "All were captured, their fates unknown!"
Gu Ban said, "Go find Lanling personally and demand their return."
"Yes!" Gray Gu replied.
Gu Ban added, "By the way, inform him about our intention to hold a eting to decide his fate, as a ans to warn him."
"Yes!" Gray Gu replied.
...
Fla Demon City!
Ying Jun and You Ming approached Lanling.
You Ming stood motionless, while Ying Jun knelt directly, saying, "Greetings to Emperor Lanling of the Fla Demon Empire, long live, long live, long long live!"
Lanling waved his hand carelessly, and You Ming was imdiately dragged out.
"Why did you torture my concubine Lan Sisi at that ti?" Lanling asked.
Ying Jun lifted her head, her exquisite face remarkably calm, without a trace of fear, and eloquently replied, "Emperor Lanling, you’ve achieved a miraculous victory. However, you’re also facing a massive crisis; firstly from the Dragon Temple, and secondly from the Motuo Empire!"
Lanling once again repeated, "I asked you, why did you torture my concubine Lan Sisi?"
Ying Jun said, "I was married in the Motuo Empire, had my own husband, but I also had another identity, that is, Crown Prince Motuo’s lover, with whom I have a child."
Lanling repeated again, "I asked you, why did you torture my concubine Lan Sisi?"
Ying Jun replied coldly, "Your Majesty, your current victory is like flowers adorned with brocade, fire pouring oil, seemingly splendid, yet truly at the brink of peril."
One must say, Ying Jun is indeed a remarkably strong woman.
When she saw no hope by the Rakshasa King’s side, she imdiately turned to Princess Na Xue. After Na Xue’s defeat, she again attempted survival by severing ties.
Moreover, she spoke with great rationale; Lanling’s glorious victory would surely provoke the Dragon Temple and the Northern Moduo Empire.
These two forces are formidable entities to Lanling.
Ying Jun remained assertive and determined, even in desperate monts, striving to maintain control, to ensure Lanling recognized her value, and pressured him to spare her.
She perceived the crisis faced by the Fla Demon Empire, which Lanling undoubtedly also recognized.
Hence, she awaited Lanling to voluntarily seek her counsel.
Just like the strategists during ancient tis in China, visiting a lord or warlord, directly saying the situation is dire, annihilation is imminent. And he usually spoke with substance, frightening the lord into panic and then treating the strategist with respect, saying: Please teach , sir.
Ying Jun pursued this path, refusing to pitifully plead.
However, Lanling asked for the third ti, "I asked you, why did you torture my concubine Lan Sisi?"
Only then did Ying Jun’s expression slightly change as she replied, "In fact, the crisis faced by the Fla Demon Empire is not without solution. The solution lies in leveraging power against power. Hence, I am well-versed with the situation in the Motuo Empire, and willing to serve as Your Majesty’s emissary, to negotiate with Emperor Motuo. Now it’s advantageous for both you and the Motuo Empire to unite, otherwise both would suffer loss!"
It’s worth ntioning, Ying Jun is indeed an exceedingly impressive woman.
