The Great Qin Emperor's Ambush (Part One)

In Zhuge Xiang's hand was an ancient mirror, its surface shimmering with a powerful aura that made all the Demon Monster in the Heavenly Demon Hall tremble with fear. It could be said that this mirror was the ultimate weapon against all Demonic Creatures in the world.

"Demon Mirror!?" Despite her calm and dignified demeanor, the Demon Queen could no longer maintain her composure upon seeing the mirror in Zhuge Xiang's hand. She abruptly stood up, her eyes fixed on the demon -Demon Mirror in Zhuge Xiang's hand.

"Demon Mirror? He's actually holding Demon Mirror- revealing mirror!?" Not only did the Demon Queen stand up, but the other Demon Monster in the Heavenly Demon Hall also erupted in a clamor, discussing among themselves, their exclamations rising and falling as they looked at the demon-revealing Demon Mirror in Zhuge Xiang's hand.

Although he knew that the Demon Mirror, a Half-Immortal Artifact, should tempt the Demon Queen, Zhuge Xiang was slightly taken aback by the intense reactions of all the Demon Monster in the Heavenly Demon Hall. He hadn't expected them to react so strongly to the Demon Mirror.

However, upon reflection, Zhuge Xiang understood. The Demon Mirror could suppress the power of all Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters, suppressing their cultivation to the point where they couldn't even maintain their Transformation. With the Demon-Revealing Demon Mirror in hand, the Demon Queen's power would be even more secure. She could even use the power of the Demon Mirror to subdue the Demon Race outside the Great Qin Empire.

"Demon Mirror!?" Even Lu Yuling couldn't hide the astonishment in her eyes when she saw the Demon Mirror in Zhuge Xiang's hand. Then, a smile appeared on her lips. She never expected that Zhuge Xiang would be able to get his hands on the Demon Mirror of the Great Tang Dynasty.

"As far as I know, wasn't the Demon Mirror kept in the treasury of the Great Tang Dynasty? Why is it in your hands?" The Demon Queen stared at the Demon Mirror in Zhuge Xiang's hand, examining it carefully for a long time. She asked Zhuge Xiang curiously.

"How I obtained it is not the main point. The main point is that this Demon-Revealing Demon Mirror is a condition. I wonder if your Myriad Monster Kingdom is willing to participate in the war?" Without answering how he obtained the Demon Mirror, Zhuge Xiang simply focused the conversation on the main issue of whether the Myriad Monster Kingdom was willing to participate in the war.

"I agree! Of course I agree!" The Demon Queen smiled brightly, reached out and absorbed the Demon Mirror into her fair palm, stroking the patterns on the Demon Mirror with great affection.

Although the Demon Mirror is only Half-Immortal Artifact, its value to the Demon Race Demon Mirror is no less than that of a true Immortal Artifact.

Humans and Demon Race have a long-standing feud. The Demon Mirror is in the hands of the Human Clan; throughout history, how many powerful Demon Race have ultimately met a humiliating end beneath its Demon Mirror?

The Demon Race obtaining the Demon Mirror only means they no longer need to worry about humans using it against them, but more importantly, the Demon Mirror is practically a symbol of the Demon Race's imperial power. Ancient Times legends say that the Demon Mirror is actually a treasure of Eastern Emperor Taiyi, and that a single Demon Mirror can punish all demons under heaven.

"Alright, three days from now, I hope the Demon Queen can lead all the powerful figures of the Myriad Demon Hall to swear an oath together!" Seeing that the Demon Queen had agreed, Zhuge Xiang and said. He didn't have much time, so he didn't stay in the Myriad Monster Kingdom for long. After exchanging greetings with the Myriad Demon Hall's senior members and formally getting to know them, he said that he had to leave.

"Fellow Zhuge Xiang has important matters to attend to, and we cannot persuade him to stay. However, Ji'er has not returned for many years, and I still have many things to say to her, so she cannot leave with you," the Demon Queen said to Zhuge Xiang, holding the Demon Mirror and sitting on her Imperial Throne. She formally established the alliance. The Demon Queen's attitude towards Zhuge Xiang was obviously much closer, and her words were less cold and unapproachable.

"Very well, I shall take my leave now," Zhuge Xiang said after exchanging a glance with Lu Yuling, then turned and left the Heavenly Demon Hall. Lu Yuling was the Holy Maiden of the Myriad Monster Kingdom, and she had not returned for so many years. It was only natural for the Demon Queen to ask her to stay and have a talk.

"Ji'er, you've suffered so much these past years," the Demon Queen said, Demon Queen watching Zhuge Xiang leave. She took Lu Yuling away from the Heavenly Demon Hall and left with Lu Yuling in her boudoir. Thinking about what Lu Yuling had gone through over the years, she spoke.

"Mother, I am not suffering. How can I see a rainbow without experiencing wind and rain? Back then, my cultivation level had not even reached the level of Demon Monster. Now, I have not only reached the level of Demon Monster, but I am even much stronger than before. I have even mastered the Heart Fighting Technique of the Asura Sect." Regarding her experiences over the years, Lu Yuling shook her head and did not feel that she had suffered.

"Yes, you've grown up and matured," the Demon Queen nodded, looking at Lu Yuling with satisfaction. Although her appearance was different, for Demonic Creatures in Transformation, the human appearance itself was unimportant. As long as Lu Yuling was Ice Maiden, that was enough.

"What's your opinion of Zhuge Xiang?" Demon Queen suddenly asked Lu Yuling.

"Him?" Startled by her mother's sudden question, Lu Yuling paused for a moment before replying, "Zhuge Xiang is a man worth befriending. I've known him for over ten years, and I've witnessed almost his entire growth. From an ordinary person to his current level, his growth rate is unprecedented in my life. Moreover, his combat methods are endless; you never know if he has even stronger trump cards up his sleeve, so..."

"That's not what I'm asking," Lu Yuling said, her assessment of Zhuge Xiang interrupted Demon Queen looked at Lu Yuling seriously and said, "Ji'er, I've lived for thousands of years. While I don't believe I can see through everything, I certainly don't consider myself blind. What I want to ask is your opinion of Zhuge Xiang —a woman's opinion of a man."

"..." Upon Demon Queen Dowager's sudden and direct question, two blushes appeared on Lu Yuling's beautiful, otherworldly face. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer her mother.

"As expected, I knew I wasn't wrong..." The Demon Queen of the Myriad Monster Kingdom naturally understood what Lu Yuling's flushed cheeks meant. "You really have fallen in love with that man. Alas, if you're not too deeply involved, I hope you won't pour your emotions into him."

"Why!?" Hearing her mother object to her feelings for Zhuge Xiang, Lu Yuling frowned slightly and asked her mother. Although Lu Yuling had always restrained her feelings for Zhuge Xiang, her mother's Lu Yuling opposition on their first meeting was unexpected.

"Zhuge Xiang is a free-spirited and unrestrained man with a generous personality. He's a good friend, but he's definitely not the kind of man who would stay for a woman. To be his woman, you have to dedicate yourself to him and adapt to him," the Demon Queen shook her head and gave her assessment of Zhuge Xiang.

"As expected, experience is the best teacher," Lu Yuling thought to herself, impressed by her mother's insightful assessment of Zhuge Xiang.

Her mother was right; Zhuge Xiang was indeed such a man. It was precisely because of this that Lu Yuling had always restrained her feelings for Zhuge Xiang, not daring to become too deeply involved.

"Don't worry, Mother, I know what I'm doing," Lu Yuling replied with a nod.

"Hmm, I hope you can handle it well," the Demon Queen giving Lu Yuling a deep look. As for whether Lu Yuling could really handle it well, the Demon Queen had no confidence. After all, the thing in this world that is the least rational to handle is the relationship between a man and a woman.

Even though Zhuge Xiang's cultivation level was already very high, his flying speed was already extremely fast. However, by the time Zhuge Xiang left Taiyi Commandery in the Far North, the sun was already setting. Nevertheless, Zhuge Xiang did not stop flying and continued to fly straight towards Heavenly Dragon Temple.

Although it cost him his Demon Mirror, he finally managed to persuade the powerful ally, the Myriad Monster Kingdom. With the Myriad Monster Kingdom' approval, it could be said that the Demon Race of the Great Qin Empire was now on his side.

However, Zhuge Xiang did not fly for long. Suddenly, he felt as if he was being watched, and at the same time, a sense of unease welled up in his heart. At Zhuge Xiang's level, he had a very keen intuition for danger. This sudden unease and sense of crisis made the hairs on Zhuge Xiang's body stand on end.

Zhuge Xiang, who was flying at high speed, suddenly stopped. He gripped the Ruyi Jingu Sea Calming Divine Needle the magic staff) in his hand, and his Divine Sense spread out in all directions like a tide, alerting everything around him. At the same time, he spoke loudly, "Who is it? Show yourself..."

"As expected of Zhuge Xiang, his reaction is indeed very sharp." The sound of applause rang out in the Void. Then, a figure walked out, wearing a golden Dragon Robe. He exuded an incomparably powerful Emperor's Aura, a surging Imperial Qi that felt like a ten-thousand-foot-long silver river cascading down.

"The Great Qin Emperor!?" Zhuge Xiang frowned slightly as he looked at the man who had stepped forward.

Indeed, the person who appeared halfway and blocked Zhuge Xiang's way was none other than the Emperor of the Great Qin Empire. He was the Great Qin Emperor who had been hunting down Zhuge Xiang because Zhuge Xiang had discovered the remains of the Great Tang Emperor in the Xiaoshan Sacred Cave.

Zhuge Xiang had dealt with the Great Qin Emperor before, and even knew that the Imperial World Shocking Merit was immense, comparable to that of his Master, Luo Ba. However, Zhuge Xiang's strength had also increased significantly in recent days, and he was now at the same level Master, Luo Ba. Facing the Great Qin Emperor again, Zhuge Xiang believed he should be able to put up a fight.

However, Zhuge Xiang's expression was extremely solemn as he looked at the Great Qin Emperor who had emerged. For some reason, the Great Qin Emperor's Imperial Qi had become several times stronger, and his strength had become even more terrifying. Even Zhuge Xiang felt a strong sense of danger.
