Qing Xuan's Instruction

Xu Ying watched the Demon Ancestor approach and smiled. "Demon Ancestor, are you going to stop me too?"

The Demon Ancestor shook his head. "Xu Ying, you're a prodigy of the human race. Your death would be a good thing for my Demon Race. There would be one less stumbling block on our road to revival. Why would I stop you from seeking death? Unfortunately, His Majesty asked me to come stop you."

His expression turned solemn. "Xu Ying, you have a brilliant future ahead of you. You mustn't duel Bright Venerable over a momentary fit of loyalty. Have you ever wondered why Bright Venerable challenged you at this time? Is he truly doing it for the so-called inheritance of the New Dao? Why didn't he wait a few decades or centuries before challenging you? The window of time in which he can defeat you is already narrowing. All you need to do is endure. Hold out for ten or twenty years, and you'll be able to overcome him."

Xu Ying shook his head. "I understand the Demon Ancestor's intentions. But if Bright Venerable wants to force me to act, it's very simple. With a single order from Bright Venerable, the Immortal Court could invade the Ancestral Court, execute the Supreme Pure One, destroy the Jade Pure One, flatten Jade Void, sweep through the Yin Court, exterminate the bandit chief Little Heavenly Venerate, uproot the Fusang Tree, behead Ziwei's Successor, and plow the Ancestral Court's mountains and rivers flat. At that point, would I still be allowed to act?"

The Demon Ancestor's expression changed slightly.

The Immortal Emperor indeed had many ways to force Xu Ying into action. Besides Xu Ying's parents, he could flatten the Ancestral Court and kill everyone connected to Xu Ying.

All those methods were simple
