Chapter 3197

The commotion on Jun Xiaoyao's side also attracted much attention.

After all, it was in a critical area of the Demon Alliance.

Bi Ran was the first to arrive, asking Jun Xiaoyao about the situation.

"Did some petty person make a move?"

Learning of the situation, Bi Ran was also surprised.

She immediately thought of Lei Wuji, who had had a conflict with Jun Xiaoyao at the banquet earlier.

But with his status, he wouldn't resort to such low-class methods, would he?

And afterward, Mu Xuan also arrived.

If it were an ordinary person, naturally Mu Xuan wouldn't come in person.

But was Jun Xiaoyao an ordinary person?

Only Mu Xuan knew his true identity.

If this King Xiaoyao encountered any problems in the Demon Alliance.

Even if it had nothing to do with the Demon Alliance, it would cause no small amount of trouble.

"Empress..."

Seeing Mu Xuan arrive, all the demon powerhouse cultivators, including Bi Ran, revealed a trace of surprise.

They looked at Jun Xiaoyao again.

Guessing in their hearts, could it be that Empress Mu Xuan really had taken a fancy to him?

Otherwise, why would she be so concerned, coming here in person?

"Are you alright?" Mu Xuan looked at Jun Xiaoyao and said.

"Many thanks for the Empress's concern, I am fine," Jun Xiaoyao said.

In front of outsiders, he still had to act a little.

"What exactly is the situation? Did someone plot against you?"

Mu Xuan furrowed her willow brows.

Plotting against King Xiaoyao of the Tianyu Immortal Dynasty—wasn't this just adding trouble for her?

Jun Xiaoyao also briefly explained the situation.

After he spoke, Mu Xuan's expression changed, her phoenix eyes shocked.

"Why, does the Empress know something?" Jun Xiaoyao asked.

"This method should be the Fire Qilin clan's Fire Qilin Demon Gu Curse," Mu Xuan said.

Upon learning that it was the Fire Qilin Demon Gu Curse that had plotted against Jun Xiaoyao.

Her mind was slightly unsettled.

Jun Xiaoyao understood this.

After all, this Empress Mu Xuan had personally killed the son of the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor.

Although it seemed now that it hadn't been successful.

"Fire Qilin Demon Gu Curse..."

Hearing this name, all the demon cultivators present had their expressions shocked.

They naturally also knew that this was related to the former Fire Qilin clan.

Bi Ran's expression also tightened; she thought of some distant memories, and dark light flickered in the depths of her eyes.

Subsequently, Mu Xuan waved her hand, dismissing the crowd.

Only she and Jun Xiaoyao remained.

"Regarding the former internal strife of the Demon Alliance, and my past actions, I presume you already know."

Mu Xuan looked at Jun Xiaoyao.

Jun Xiaoyao said: "I have some understanding."

"Then do you think I am a bad woman?" Mu Xuan asked.

At the same time, her phoenix eyes stared at Jun Xiaoyao's face, observing his expression.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression was calm, and he said: "So-called good and bad are usually relative to one's position."

"To be honest, sometimes I don't even think I count as a good person."

"Although there are indeed some people who might be purely bad."

"But I don't know what kind of situation you were in at the time that you killed the son of the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor, so I will not judge."

Jun Xiaoyao was not a moral guardian; even he himself didn't think he was a purely good person.

He had used others, harvested leeks, and killed countless people.

By common moral standards, Jun Xiaoyao definitely didn't count as a good person.

But he had also saved all living beings, and countless beings revered him as a savior.

So this world was never simply black and white, good and bad.

Even Jun Xiaoyao himself was a person of complex composition and couldn't be evaluated by simple good or bad.

Then naturally, he wouldn't evaluate others by simple good or bad.

Except for the purely bad, like the Golden Crow Ancient Clan, which even Jun Xiaoyao found eyesores.

As for Mu Xuan, he didn't know under what circumstances she had killed the son of the Fire Qilin Demon Emperor.

Nor did he know what hidden secrets the Demon Alliance's internal strife had.

So he made no judgment.

Hearing Jun Xiaoyao's words.

The look in Mu Xuan's eyes toward him underwent a subtle change.

Over the years, she hadn't been called a poisonous woman or a scorpion beauty in private any less.

Only Jun Xiaoyao hadn't rashly made a judgment about her.

"King Xiaoyao, you are truly different from ordinary people," Mu Xuan said.

"If I were the same as ordinary people, wouldn't that just be a rabble?" Jun Xiaoyao chuckled.

Mu Xuan also smiled.

This was the first time she had smiled in front of Jun Xiaoyao.

Perhaps it was also her first smile in so many years.

It had to be said that this Empress Mu Xuan still looked very beautiful when she smiled.

White teeth and fragrant lips, a gentle smile that was moving.

That originally noble and graceful temperament now became even more heart-stirring.

"You should smile more; it looks better," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Mu Xuan's smile tightened slightly.

With her status, no one had ever communicated with her in such a casual attitude.

Even those praises were as false as flattery.

Jun Xiaoyao's words, however, made people feel very real, with a kind of inexplicable comfort.

Perhaps it was also because his status was unusual, so he had no baggage regarding Mu Xuan, appearing very natural.

"By the way, let's talk about serious business."

Mu Xuan suppressed the trace of strange emotion in her heart and straightened her expression.

Then she told Jun Xiaoyao.

At the time, she had actually wanted to clean up the remnants of the internal strife.

But she had been stopped by some clan lineages.

Those clan lineages had once been on good terms with the Fire Qilin clan and others.

"I will definitely find a way to find the person who plotted against you," Mu Xuan said.

Jun Xiaoyao didn't say anything.

He naturally knew who had done it.

But now, it wasn't the time to tell Mu Xuan.

He didn't want to startle the snake.

He also wanted to know what Xiang Yang would do next.

Jun Xiaoyao had a vague intuition that the possibility of finding the State-Protecting Seal should lie with him.

"There's no rush for that; I don't mind," Jun Xiaoyao said.

"Additionally, I also want to open the Tuoluo Secret Realm," Mu Xuan said.

"Tuoluo Secret Realm?" Jun Xiaoyao said.

At this moment, the system's mechanical voice rang in his mind.

"Ding, congratulations to the host, a new check-in location has been refreshed. Please check in at the Tuoluo Secret Realm!"

This check-in system finally began to show a bit of presence again.

Jun Xiaoyao remained calm.

Subsequently, he learned.

The Tuoluo Secret Realm was a secret place of the Demon Alliance.

Inside, there was a holy object of the Demon Alliance called the Hundred Demon Scroll.

This Hundred Demon Scroll was the legacy of the master of the Demon Alliance, the Heavenly Demon Emperor.

If one could obtain the recognition of the Hundred Demon Scroll, one could possess the power of the hundred great demon clans and become the legitimate master of the Demon Alliance.

But to obtain the Hundred Demon Scroll, one must open the Tuoluo Secret Realm and pass the cruel Hundred Demon Trial within.

And in the past, no one in the Demon Alliance had ever obtained it.

Even Mu Xuan had tried it, but in the end, she had failed.

And now, upon learning that remnants like the Fire Qilin clan might be active again.

Mu Xuan felt that she must try one more time.

If she could successfully obtain the recognition of the Hundred Demon Scroll.

Then she would obtain legitimacy and possess a rightful status.

Even in the Demon Alliance's Council of Elders, those forces that opposed her and the Heavenly Storm Divine Sparrow clan would have no way to deal with her.

Then the Demon Alliance would stabilize and would not trigger internal strife again, leading to turmoil in the entire Tuoluo Demon Realm.

"I think this is a good method," Jun Xiaoyao said.

Wasn't this Tuoluo Secret Realm just the stage for that Xiang Yang to cause trouble?

With his revenge-driven identity, he would definitely be unable to resist wanting to cause trouble.

That, for Jun Xiaoyao, was an opportunity.

So he naturally supported it.

"I will try my best to obtain the Hundred Demon Scroll when the time comes," Mu Xuan said.

"It doesn't matter; I will make a move," Jun Xiaoyao said casually.

For him, if he wanted to obtain this Hundred Demon Scroll, it would be as easy as turning over his hand.

Mu Xuan's fair and beautiful face was stunned.

Although she knew that Jun Xiaoyao's strength was unfathomable and he was the peerless Chaos Body of Myriad Eras.

But wanting to obtain the Hundred Demon Scroll was not simple; it required passing the Hundred Demon Trial.

And this was specifically targeted at the demon race; she now knew that Jun Xiaoyao was of the human race.

That, for him, would naturally be even more difficult.

Mu Xuan didn't say anything, and after discussing with Jun Xiaoyao again, she left.

"Hundred Demon Scroll..."

Jun Xiaoyao muttered.

He felt that Xiang Yang should also be interested in the Hundred Demon Scroll.

Or to put it another way, according to the usual tropes.

After opening the secret realm, this Hundred Demon Scroll would almost 100% fall into Xiang Yang's hands.

After all, he also possessed the Fluctuating Demon Star and was the most qualified and capable of obtaining the Hundred Demon Scroll.

"Let's see what kind of trouble that Xiang Yang can cause. Also, I wonder what kind of treasure I can check in for?"

Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself, actually feeling a bit expectant.
