I and Senior Brother Lu Were Both Disciples of Venerable Dou

Zhu Tian's mood was unpredictable, and he was speechless with frustration.

Don't be fooled by his current swaggering and boasting about unifying the demon realm and establishing a demon kingdom.

He wasn't like this in High Antiquity times. There were many beings stronger than him High Antiquity. Not to mention the human race, the Demon Race included dragons, phoenixes, and Qiongqi, all of whom were stronger than him.

Jiang Lianyi certainly knows more about the secrets hidden in High Antiquity than he does.

Zhu Tian noticed the Heavenly Court, while the onlookers noticed "Non-Self weren't the wife of the Qilin Immortal".

Two members of the Dijiang clan whispered among themselves, "Who is the Qilin Immortal?"

"You idiot, it must be a demon immortal!"

The academic community has long held the theory that the demon immortal is the Qilin immortal, but no concrete evidence has ever been obtained. Today, through the conversation between two High Antiquity demons, the identity of the demon immortal has been confirmed.

The two Dijiang were horrified. They stared at each other, held their breath, and realized the problem; their voices became uncontrollable.

"Lady Jiang Lianyi is the wife of the Qilin Immortal?!"

This is an earth-shattering secret!

Not only is Qilin Immortal getting married, but his wife is actually his rival, Jiang Lianyi?

It is common knowledge that Jiang Lianyi was defeated by Qilin Xian and lost her qualification to become an immortal. Therefore, everyone thought that the two were rivals. After Qilin Xian became an immortal, his former rivals were no longer rivals, and he put aside his grudges.

But no one expected that Qilin Immortal would let go of his grudges so completely, and the two became husband and wife!

Those races that had secretly targeted the Phoenix Clan turned pale instantly. If Jiang Lianyi's return had made them abandon their plans to covet the Phoenix Clan's treasure, then after learning about Jiang Lianyi's relationship with the Qilin Immortal, their concern was whether they would be purged.

Previously, it could be said that Jiang Lianyi wasn't invincible, since there was still the Qilin Immortal above her.

Who would dare say that now?

Jiang Lianyi now represents the will of the Qilin Immortal, and is the heaven of the Demon Race!

"The legitimacy of that demon kingdom..."

If Jiang Lianyi does not acknowledge the Demon Kingdom, then even if the Demon Kingdom is successfully established, it will suffer a loss in reputation.

Many Demon Race might secretly curse the Ancient Ancestor, which is something the Ancient Ancestor cannot tolerate.

It's said that powerful cultivators regard mortals as ants, but that's just a figure of speech. If they truly considered mortals as ants, why would they care what mortals say about them?

As beings that possess sentience, there are differences in strength and status, but no matter how inferior one is, one should not be so inferior as to ignore being insulted by someone of lower status.

"Jiang Lianyi and Qilin Immortal are husband and wife?" Petrified Bone was puzzled. He remembered that the High Antiquity Heavenly Court was ruled by Dou Tianzun, who was in opposition to the Four Immortals of High Antiquity. How could Qilin Immortal's wife have gone to the Heavenly Court?

Mu Baiyi, however, had a deeper consideration. He gently shook his head, telling Petrified Bone not to think too superficially.

"The affairs of High Antiquity are complex and there are too many unknown things. Take the present situation for example, who says that a husband and wife relationship necessarily means they are intimately close?"

"When the two have a conflict and their ideologies clash, what's wrong with Jiang Lianyi joining the Heavenly Court?"

"Or perhaps Jiang Lianyi was originally from the Heavenly Court, and only later married the Qilin Immortal."

"There's another possibility." When he mentioned the third possibility, Mu Baiyi paused, a hint of fear in his eyes.

The fear stems from the immense power of the immortals revealed in the third interpretation.

Petrified Bone pressed, "The Cult Leader?"

Mu Baiyi shook his head, forcing himself not to overthink it, and continued, "There's another possibility: an immortal's opponent is simply another immortal. Whether it's a Qi Refining Qi Refining or a half-immortal, there's no difference in the eyes of an immortal. To the Four High Antiquity Immortals, where Jiang Lianyi is or which faction she joins is irrelevant!"

Arrogant!

This is Petrified Bone's impression of High Antiquity Four Immortals after hearing the cult leader's guess.

But considering the immortals' mysterious and unpredictable methods, the sect leader's guess didn't seem unreasonable.

"Do you remember what Young Master Lu said about the possibility of him becoming an immortal, which is why the Four Immortals of High Antiquity suppressed him?"

Yes, he said something similar.

"So, can we deduce that Jiang Lianyi was unable to become an immortal, which is why the Four Immortals of High Antiquity didn't care about her position?"

The two exchanged a glance, feeling as if they were gradually approaching the truth.

"It was my oversight in dealing with the Heavenly Court. Fellow Daoist, would you mind resting at the Imperial Palace for a while? I will catch up with you after I finish presiding over the celebration."

Jiang Lianyi chuckled lightly, her face instantly turning cold. "Zhu Tian, do you think I don't know that you want to use the power of a nascent Dao Fruit to control my people?"

"And what about the affairs of the Heavenly Court? You think you can just brush it off with a casual remark about negligence?"

Jiang Lianyi pointed at Lu Yang and said coldly, "He is my senior brother. How can I, his junior sister, stand idly by while he is humiliated!"

"Pfft--cough cough..."

The elder spat out a mouthful of tea, nearly choking himself.

He was leisurely sipping tea, watching with amusement as these ignorant fools displayed expressions of shock, feeling incredibly pleased with himself.

Until he heard Jiang Lianyi address Lu Yang as "senior brother".

He looked up at the Temple of Heaven in shock. "How exactly did you design the Heavenly Court?"

"Senior brother?!"

Everyone's pupils widened in shock. Every word Jiang Lianyi uttered revealed a High Antiquity secret, and each one was more astonishing than the last.

Jiang Lianyi and Young Master Lu are actually senior and junior disciples?

"He's your senior brother?!"

Zhu Tian was even more confused. How come I've never seen this person in High Antiquity?

Jiang Lianyi's lips curled into a cold smile, "You just haven't seen him, but the Four Immortals have all seen him!"

This is true. The four High Antiquity immortals all saw Lu Yang through the time tunnel, but they only saw a shadow and couldn't see his face.

"Senior Brother Lu and I both studied under the same master, Dou Tianzun, so we are naturally senior and junior siblings!"

Lu Yang: "..."

Senior Lianyi, I know that Senior Zhu Tian is bullying the Phoenix Clan, and you can't stand it and want to fight him, but could you please not drag me into it?

"So, this can't be resolved amicably?" Zhu Tian's face also darkened. As a fellow demigod, Jiang Lianyi's blatant disrespect made her think he was afraid of her.

He simply didn't want to cause trouble, but that didn't mean he was afraid of her!

Three hundred thousand years have passed, and I am no longer the same person I once was!

"Where are the ten generals?!"

Zhu Tian shouted loudly.

"Exist!"

The ten great demons at the Tribulation Transcendence stage took a step forward in unison, unleashing their overwhelming power, causing the heavens and earth to change color, their aura terrifying.

As the number one person below the Half-Immortal level, coupled with ten Great Demons at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, this lineup can be said to be invincible among Half-Immortals. He refused to believe that he couldn't defeat Jiang Lianyi!

If we can defeat Jiang Lianyi, we can then easily control her.

At that time, the issues of legitimacy, combat strength, and establishing authority will be resolved, and all other problems will be easily solved.

Jiang Lianyi, you asked for this!

Faced with such a terrifying display, Jiang Lianyi chuckled softly, seemingly unconcerned.

"Indeed, even if Xiao Ling came, she wouldn't be a match for you if ten Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators joined forces with you."

"Unfortunately, your opponent is me."

Although Jiang Lianyi was smiling, there was no hint of a smile in her eyes, "Zhu Tian, have you forgotten something?"

"We are both nascent forms of the 'survival of the fittest' Dao Fruit. The battle between us is not about who has more people or who has the advantage."

Zhu Tian's pupils contracted sharply, a bad premonition creeping into his heart.

Jiang Lianyi raised her delicate hand and gently snapped her fingers.

Smack

The master-servant marks controlling the ten great demons at the Tribulation Transcendence stage disappeared.

The second update will be at 11 PM.
