Chapter 925: Xiao Yanzhi Confesses

Tianwai Hun-dun.

Wahuang Heaven.

Wahuang Palace.

Lu Ya bowed respectfully: "I pay my respects to the Empress."

Nuwa sat cross-legged on the Cloud Bed, her temperament graceful and poised, and said indifferently: "No need for such formalities. For what purpose have you come?"

Lu Ya did not straighten his body, remaining bowed as he said: "I beg the Empress to assist me."

Nuwa frowned: "Assist you with what?"

Lu Ya gritted his teeth and said: "Assist me in attaining the Quasi-Saint realm, I beg the Empress to grant this. My Demon Race wishes to return to Honghuang and take back the Heavenly Court, but Haotian and Yaochi are too strong, and they have the Investiture of the Gods in their hands; those gods are all immortal and indestructible.

There is also the Human Race, which is already rising.

Yet my Demon Race currently has only two Quasi-Saints, and they are merely at the Quasi-Saint Initial Stage.

If my Demon Race wishes to return to Honghuang, I will not speak of restoring our peak combat strength, but if I, or perhaps a few more people, could attain the Quasi-Saint realm, our chances would be much greater."

He knew that with the Demon Race's current strength, wanting to return to Honghuang was nothing more than a pipe dream.

Therefore, he had no choice but to beg Nuwa.

After all, in his mind, a Saint was synonymous with omnipotence.

Nuwa was on the verge of a cold sneer.

If Quasi-Saints could be cultivated rapidly, why would she not cultivate her own followers and disciples?

She was just about to refuse when she suddenly thought of something and said solemnly: "It is not that there is no way; one could even cultivate Quasi-Saints in batches, but the process is a matter of life and death, and I cannot guarantee the outcome."

Lu Ya's eyes lit up: "I beg the Empress to teach me."

Cultivating Quasi-Saints in batches—this gave him hope for restoring the Demon Race to its peak.

"The Heavens Demon World..."

Nuwa explained the matter of the Heavens Demon World, and finally said: "You may break in alone, or you may dispatch a great army to invade. As for whether you succeed in the end, that depends on your own fortune. If there is sufficient World Origin, even cultivating to a Peak Quasi-Saint is not without hope."

"Thank you, Empress!"

Lu Ya's eyes were brighter than ever before, as if he saw the future glory of the Demon Race.

………

Zichen Hall.

Yin Qi put down his Mobile Phone, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

He felt that Nuwa had finally loosened her stance.

Perhaps with a little more effort, he could Hold this Honghuang female Saint in his arms; just thinking about it was thrilling.

"Great King, Xiao Concubine requests an audience."

At this moment, a eunuch walked in from outside with small, quick steps and bowed to report.

Yin Qi frowned slightly.

Xiao Concubine, naturally, was Xiao Yanzhi. What was she here for?

Thinking of the influence that had spread from Xiao Yanzhi's palace some time ago, and that Yuanshi Tianzun had ordered her to bewitch him within three years, could it be that Xiao Yanzhi could no longer wait and wanted to strike at him now?

Thinking of this, a cold light flickered in Yin Qi's eyes.

Although he knew Xiao Yanzhi was one of Yuanshi Tianzun's people, Yin Qi had simply stopped visiting her to avoid falling into Yuanshi Tianzun's trap, as Yuanshi Tianzun had indeed bestowed a treasure upon Xiao Yanzhi.

Over these years, he had considered their time as husband and wife and had not treated her poorly.

If she remained obsessed and unrepentant, then she should not blame him for being ruthless.

He was now a Quasi-Saint; the Jade Talisman that Yuanshi Tianzun had bestowed upon Xiao Yanzhi back then could no longer harm him.

Thinking of this, Yin Qi said indifferently: "Summon her."

……

A moment later.

Xiao Yanzhi walked in gracefully.

It had to be said, she was truly a femme fatale who could topple kingdoms, beautiful and alluring.

"Your subject pays her respects to the Great King."

Xiao Yanzhi performed a graceful bow, her voice as round and clear as Yuzhu falling onto a jade plate.

Yin Qi smiled gently: "Why has my beloved concubine come?"

Xiao Yanzhi said: "Great King, your subject has something to report. May I set up a private space?" Yin Qi nodded indifferently: "You may."

"Thank you for your trust, Great King!"

Xiao Yanzhi was startled at first, then hurriedly thanked him.

She knew that this request of hers was somewhat excessive, and even felt 'rebellious'.

Because she was a Golden Immortal, while Yin Qi was merely a Heavenly Realm Mortal.

To allow her to create a private space—what kind of trust was this?

This was equivalent to Yin Qi handing his own life over to her.

Xiao Yanzhi waved her fair hand, and the space around her and Yin Qi was cut off from the Great World, forming an independent small world; even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could not detect the situation inside unless they attacked actively.

Following that, she knelt down with a thud and sobbed: "Great King, your subject is guilty!"

Yin Qi was also surprised, and feigning confusion, he said: "Why does my beloved concubine say this?"

Xiao Yanzhi said: "I dare not hide it from the Great King. In truth, your subject was originally an Asura woman living in the Sea of Blood. In the fortieth year of Di Yi, Yuanshi Tianzun used supreme magic power to forcibly capture your subject from the Sea of Blood to Yuxu Palace, and ordered your subject to enter the palace and bewitch the Great King.

Please... you... bookmark 6... 9... shu.... com....!

At that time, your subject was but a lowly Earth Immortal; how could I dare to refuse Yuanshi Tianzun's order?

Of course, Yuanshi Tianzun also promised that after the task was completed, he would help your subject attain the Golden Immortal realm, so your subject lost her head and agreed."

Fortunately, the Great King had the protection of the National Teacher at that time, so this concubine could not bewitch the Great King.

Afterward, Yuanshi Tianzun bestowed this Jade Talisman upon this concubine, which could bypass the National Teacher's methods.

It is just that the Great King stopped seeing this concubine afterward, so this concubine had no opportunity.

Over these years, this concubine has felt resentment, anger, and despair.

But although the Great King has not visited this concubine in these years, the various provisions have not been reduced by a single bit, and this concubine has gradually found peace of mind, feeling that it is fine to just be in the Imperial Palace like this.

At least compared to those sisters in the Sea of Blood, this concubine is living a life like an immortal.

However..."

Xiao Yanzhi held the Jade Talisman bestowed by Yuanshi Tianzun in her hand, looked up, and said: "However, just some time ago, Yuanshi Tianzun actually found this concubine again, demanding that this concubine must bewitch the Great King within three years, otherwise he would take action against this concubine.

How would this concubine dare to take action against the Great King again, yet this concubine also fears Yuanshi Tianzun.

Thus, this concubine could only come to confess to the Great King.

As for how the Great King wishes to deal with this concubine, this concubine is willing to accept punishment."

As she spoke, she lowered her head and kowtowed on the ground again.

Yin Qi looked at Xiao Yanzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, and nodded slowly.

It has been over a decade; Xiao Yanzhi has finally made some progress, knowing how to assess the situation instead of mindlessly obeying Yuanshi Tianzun.

He could naturally see through Xiao Yanzhi's intentions.

Rather than being purged by Yuanshi Tianzun in the future, it is better to confess directly to him and borrow his power to resist Yuanshi Tianzun.

After all, the true body of Yuanshi has been driven out of Honghuang, and now he is merely a Good Corpse.

"Get up."

Hearing Yin Qi's voice, which held neither sorrow nor joy, Xiao Yanzhi was somewhat bewildered.

According to her conjecture, after learning the truth of the matter, Yin Qi should either be angry or terrified; why was his tone so indifferent, as if he had known all along?

"Yes, Great King."

No matter what, at least this hurdle had been initially cleared.

Xiao Yanzhi stood up cautiously; she looked up at Yin Qi and saw Yin Qi's pair of gentle yet bright eyes, as if they could see through everything in the world.

Yin Qi said: "This sovereign knows of this matter. From now on, you shall quietly be an imperial concubine. This is the Yin Shang Imperial Palace; the hand of Yuanshi Tianzun cannot reach here."

Xiao Yanzhi was delighted in her heart and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Great King. However, Great King, Yuanshi Tianzun is petty and narrow-minded; I fear he will not let this matter rest. You must be careful in dealing with him."

Yin Qi gave a hum and said: "This sovereign knows. You may withdraw first."

"Yes, Great King."

Xiao Yanzhi acknowledged the order.

She waved her hand to restore the space and then withdrew from Zichen Hall. (End of this chapter)
