Having lived for so long, and always been obedient in the South, now that I'm so old, I've started to have some thoughts.

Or perhaps it was the actions of the demon kings under his command?

Feixiao is unknown.

"Alright, you guys continue to keep an eye on the Southern Kingdom, and notify me immediately if there's any movement."

"The One Qi Dao Alliance and Tushan will need some time. Once we have a complete grasp of them, the Southern Kingdom will be our next target."

After a moment of silent contemplation, Feixiao quickly made a decision. Although she wanted to start conquering the Southern Kingdom immediately, she still needed to suppress and reform the One Qi Dao Alliance here.

Although those old fogies of the Dao Alliance have been imprisoned and guarded by Feixiao, cooperation between humans and Demon Race is not so easy. Without her strong suppression, who knows what kind of trouble might arise.

She didn't want the One Qi Dao Alliance to run into problems right after she had just conquered the Southern Kingdom.

First stabilize the One Qi Dao Alliance, then attack the external enemies!

Even if it's a violent suppression to make everyone obedient and prevent internal strife in the short term, it still takes some time.

Ultimately, Feixiao has very few people he can use and trust.

Even with the members of the Mask Group, she wasn't entirely trusting. Although they didn't harbor the same fanatical hatred for the Demon Race as others, it was clear that they still held some resentment towards them.

However, due to the threats from Feixiao and the alien races Outside the Circle, it was temporarily suppressed.

Feixiao had no other people he could use, so for the time being he could only choose to trust the members of the Mask Group.

"Yes, Senior Feixiao, we will continue to keep an eye on the Southern Kingdom and will notify you immediately of any changes."

Wangquan Baye nodded without hesitation upon hearing this. The environment in the Southern Kingdom was very troublesome for other cultivators, but these talented cultivators did not take it seriously.

Apart from that Poison King, the Mask Group showed no fear of the other demon kings of the Southern Kingdom.

Even the Southern Poison King, though they had never fought him... they were confident they could escape unscathed. And even the Northern Mountain Demon Emperor, they had seen before...

Faced with absolute power, the Poison King of the Southern Kingdom may not be a match for the Northern Mountain Demon Emperor.

"Don't be careless. The other demon kings in the Southern Kingdom are no big deal, but that Poison Emperor is not as simple as you think."

"Otherwise, it would not have been able to control the Southern Kingdom for thousands of years without being shaken."

Noticing Wangquan Baye's tone, Feixiao suddenly realized something and reminded him. In the original story, the Mask Group was able to escape from the Poison Emperor not entirely because of their amazing strength.

Rather, it was because the Poison King hadn't used his true power; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to leave at all.

That Poison King lived too long; it was only because he's old now, and with the birth of his daughter Huan Du Luolan, that he's lost his original ruthlessness.

Otherwise, if it were him in his younger days, he would be a nightmare for the vast majority of people in the world.

In his youth, Huan Du Qing Tian was incredibly brave. When he was weak, he ventured alone into the Wuhuang Mountain, filled with poisonous fog and weeds, to save his beloved. After he became powerful, he single-handedly quelled the rebellion of the seventy-two cave masters of the Southern Kingdom.

"Of course, senior need not worry."

Upon hearing Feixiao's instructions, Wangquan Baye was taken aback, seemingly somewhat surprised, but still nodded in response.

"..."

Seeing Wangquan Baye's expression, Feixiao couldn't tell if he had listened. But she had given him all the necessary reminders, and if things really went wrong because of her arrogance, there was nothing she could do.

It's fine for geniuses to have their own arrogance, but they also need to know how to recognize and respect their opponents.

"Elder Brother..."

Seeing that the important matters had been discussed to a near conclusion, Li Quzhuo, Qingmuyuan, and the others cautiously reminded Wangquan Baye.

Upon hearing their reminder, Wangquan Baye suddenly realized that they still had matters to discuss with Feixiao.

"By the way, Senior Feixiao, what are your specific plans regarding the various clan heads and seniors of the Dao Alliance?"

Wangquan Baye asked earnestly about the solutions for those senior family heads of the One Qi Dao Alliance. Currently, those senior experts are all fine; they have just had their magic power sealed and have been imprisoned.

Although they are here to cooperate with Feixiao's unification and prepare for the conquest of the alien races Outside the Circle.

But those were, after all, their elders, and the pillars of the human race. The entire human race could not rely on just these people.

Although the Mask Group was confident that they were no weaker than those demon kings and demon emperors, their existence was still necessary...

"You don't need to worry about that. They are only temporarily detained, and nothing will happen to them."

Feixiao first assured them that this was agreed upon from the beginning, and that since they were their elders, it was impossible for them to completely disregard it; it was only human nature, and Feixiao understood.

Then, Feixiao added.

"If you can persuade them to accept unification and cooperate with the Demon Race for mutual benefit, you can naturally release them to contribute to the fight against the alien races Outside the Circle."

"If they remain stubborn, then we can only stay there for now and wait until we have completely unified the country and the situation has stabilized before we can see how things go."

"After all, you are well aware of the significant impact letting them out before things stabilize would have on the situation..."

These elders of the Dao Alliance have too much influence in the One Qi Dao Alliance. If they are not accepted for unification and allowed to come out, it will only make it more difficult for Feixiao and the others to stabilize the situation.

Wangquan Baye and his group were naturally well aware of this.

"We understand now, thank you, senior."

After hearing Feixiao's words, the members of the Mask Group breathed a sigh of relief; things were much easier to handle than they had expected.

Although persuading those stubborn elders to accept Feixiao's unification and cooperate with the Demon Race for mutual benefit is an extremely troublesome matter, at least there is hope.

Moreover, not all older generations are stubborn; they believe that many elders still have a broad perspective, as long as the situation is explained.

Faced with the world-ending crisis Outside the Circle, there will surely be people who will put aside their hatred for the Demon Race and cooperate to deal with the alien race Outside the Circle.

After discussing these matters, Feixiao brought up the management of the One Qi Dao Alliance and Tu Shan, as well as the arrangements for ordinary people.

To be honest, in the territory of the One Qi Dao Alliance, cultivators and Daoists are only a minority, they are the managers... the high and mighty Daoist masters, and most of them are just ordinary people.

In this world where individual strength is paramount, ordinary people with little power have little say.

Because of the Dao Alliance's attitude towards the Demon Race over the years, ordinary people also have great fear and rejection of the Demon Race.

There is no way to change this situation in a short time. Even if Feixiao came, he could not do anything unless the Remembrance Path Walker could reshape everyone's Remembrance.

Otherwise, we can only rely on time to slowly change everything...

Judging from the situation several hundred years later in the original story, peaceful unification between humans and Demon Race is not a problem. As long as there is a plan, the rest can be left to time.

Therefore, what Feixiao needs to do now is to reform the regulations of the One Qi Dao Alliance.

In this respect, Feixiao took a shortcut and directly borrowed the peace laws of the Celestial Race and other races in the Xianzhou Alliance, and then used the peaceful management methods of the One Qi Dao Alliance and the Demon Kingdom in the original work.

If this policy is implemented, the vast majority of this generation will likely find it unacceptable, but their next generation and the generation after that will live according to this rule, and the goal will naturally be achieved.

Therefore, the state of the world mainly depends on the decisions made by those in power.

This has been the case in every dynasty...

"Okay, that's all for now. I'll leave the specific details to you."

After finishing the most important tasks, Feixiao stood up and announced the end of the meeting.

This kind of mental work feels even more tiring than fighting, especially with the help of staff and others.

She really couldn't handle it alone.

"Of course."

The others also stood up, preparing to go down and handle the following matters.

In the end, only Jade Spirit and Tushan Hong Hong remained in the room.

"You've taken down the One Qi Dao Alliance so quickly, that's amazing! Feixiao, you said before that you wanted to unify the inner circle, conquer the alien races Outside the Circle, and reclaim your homeland. Now I'm even more looking forward to it."

Jade Spirit cupped her cheeks in her hands, looking at Feixiao before her, her three large eyes shining brightly.

Although she knew that Feixiao was powerful, she was still very surprised that he had taken down the One Qi Dao Alliance so quickly. Since humans mastered Magic Treasure, they had long since become a powerful whole.

Never been conquered by anyone else...

More importantly, Feixiao is not just to occupy the One Qi Dao Alliance, but also to make it cooperate with the Demon Race, directly changing the original social model.

She hadn't taken Feixiao's words seriously before, but now they were starting to come true step by step.

Tushan Hong Hong, standing beside her, was also filled with anticipation. It seemed that she had finally seen the hope for peace between humans and Demon Race today.

At this moment, she had no other thoughts and was ready to wholeheartedly assist Feixiao in achieving unification.

There are also those Outside the Circle. Although she doesn't know much about the situation Outside the Circle, after hearing so much about it, she understands its harm and naturally cannot remain indifferent.

"You've seen how powerful I am before. But compared to that, has Mingluan set off yet?"

Feixiao ignored her words and only inquired about the situation with Jade Singing Luan. She had been keeping an eye on the entire Leech Demon Clan from the very beginning.

Now their participation is even more necessary. Every leech is an excellent healer, and the presence of healers will be indispensable going forward.

Although she possesses Abundance divine resources that can heal, she still needs a physician.

For example, those who were resurrected before, although they came back to life, it does not mean that they are completely cured. The subsequent treatment by doctors is equally important.

So after she secured the One Qi Dao Alliance, she sent people to the Leech Demon Village again, hoping that Jade Singing Luan would bring the Leech Demon clan over to serve as her medical team.

"How greedy! It's not enough for me and Mingluan, you want our entire Hiru Demon clan too."

Jade Spirit didn't answer directly. Instead, she glanced at Feixiao speechlessly. The fox demon in front of her was the first one who wanted to take down the entire leech demon clan.

She would never have agreed to this with anyone else.

But the one in front of them was Feixiao, who had also demonstrated his abilities, so Jade Spirit didn't mind letting the leech demon clan join him.

Feixiao truly unifies the world in the future and drives out the alien races from the Outside the Circle, the Hiru Demon Clan can be considered to have achieved this by riding on the dragon's back.

"Don't worry, my sister brought her people over a while ago, probably in the next day or two."

If it weren't for her clansmen, Jade Singing Luan would have wanted to come to Feixiao long ago.

After learning that Feixiao had taken over Tushan and the One Qi Dao Alliance, and with her sister Jade Spirit's explanation, she no longer hesitated and agreed to move the entire clan there.

"That's good. With that, the medical team is in place."

With the addition of the leech demon clan, the casualties of the Qingqiu Army can undoubtedly be minimized.

Suddenly remembering something, Feixiao looked at Tushan Hong Hong.

"By the way, Miss Hong Hong... I'd like to ask you for a favor."

"Please speak, General."

Tushan Hong Hong was taken aback, her face showing confusion.

However, she has placed all her hopes for peace between humans and Demon Race on Feixiao, so she will naturally do her best.

"I would like to ask you to help me invite the Yue Ti Clan here..."

Considering the upcoming actions, having the help of the Yue Ti Clan would undoubtedly make things much easier. The Yue Ti Clan are the guardians of the forest, capable of manipulating all plants.

Even in the places where Chief Moon Cry has walked, plants will grow all along the way, even in the desert.

"The Yue Ti Clan? I... I'll give it a try."

Tushan Hong Hong dared not make any guarantees upon hearing this, but she was willing to give it a try.

Tsukikage is a very kind and peace-loving yokai, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

"Well, it would be best if we could invite them, but if we can't..."

So I had no choice but to go there in person.

However, she has a lot of things to do next, and she doesn't know if she'll have the time.

"..."

"I wonder how things are at the Divine Fire Manor?"

Watching Tushan Hong Hong and Jade Spirit leave, Feixiao also turned and left the house, heading towards where the Dongfang Huaizhu sisters were.

Divine Fire Manor did not intervene when fighting against the headquarters of the One Qi Dao Alliance. However, it was Divine Fire Manor that provided a lot of help when Feixiao completely took control of the One Qi Dao Alliance's territory.

After all, Divine Fire Manor had long since pledged allegiance to Feixiao. With Heliobus watching over them and the Dongfang sisters by her side, Dongfang Guyue wouldn't act recklessly.

As a force on par with the Wang Quan Family, Divine Fire Manor still wields considerable influence.

This is also why Feixiao was able to ensure that the chaos in the One Qi Dao Alliance region did not go too far.

Otherwise, her suppression alone, along with the cooperation of the Mask Group members, would not be enough to stabilize the situation in such a short time.

The main problem is that the regional power of the One Qi Dao Alliance is too fragmented. Although the One Qi Dao Alliance is a unified entity, it is essentially a united force of various powerful families, each of whom can be considered a local tyrant in their own territory.

She headed towards where the Dongfang Huaizhu sisters were, but before she even reached her destination, she heard arguing nearby.
