A Place to Stay and Meals Provided

Life is always unpredictable; even Bai Qiuran couldn't foresee what the future would hold.

Just five years after the incident at the Cave Abode, Su Xiangxue came to him with some incredible news from the Monster Race.

"The Demon Emperor has died."

The Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect spoke of his biological father, but his tone was as if he were talking about a stranger.

"Until his death, he never issued an edict designating any Monster Race as his heir to the throne. Now, the Monster Race is about to descend into chaos."

Hearing her words, Bai Qiuran was stunned. The Demon Emperor died because his Lifespan had run out, but he was also involved in it.

In the great war more than a thousand years ago, nearly two thousand years ago, he drove the Demon Emperor to the brink of defeat, forcing this supreme Monster Race to unleash a secret technique that consumed his lifespan to fight him. Even after activating the secret technique, the Demon Emperor still suffered a humiliating defeat.

After returning to the Demon Realm in disgrace, his son and subordinates were chased and killed by Bai Qiuran. The secret technique, serious injuries, and the blow of his son's death caused this supreme Monster Race to die so quickly. He died at about the same age as Bai Qiuran, which is considered an untimely death for Monster Race generally have long lifespans, not to mention that the Demon Emperor was a Nine-Headed Flood Dragon who inherited the bloodline of the first Demon Emperor.

"But if the Monster Race falls into chaos, won't our intelligence gathering work be...?"

Bai Qiuran thought.

"There's nothing we can do about it. Human Race are already struggling in the Demon Realm, and the Monster Race our Hehuan Sect has developed also need to avoid the impending war. Those who can remain in the Demon Realm are probably less than a tenth of our original intelligence personnel."

Su Xiangxue replied, "As the Sect Master, I can't force people into the fire of war."

"Yes, that's the only way."

Bai Qiuran.

"I also need to get the intelligence agents from the Azure Nether Sword Sect back first. Oh well, I'll wait until the Monster Race finishes this civil war before making any decisions."

"Don't worry, this civil war won't last long."

Su Xiangxue comforted him, "The Demon Emperor is cunning and treacherous. I don't believe he didn't leave any contingency plans. Although he didn't designate a successor, he must have left a will. Perhaps this civil war is his ceremony to choose a successor."

"Hey."

At this moment, Wisdom Immortal, who had been placed aside by Bai Qiuran, suddenly interjected, "It should be said that this civil war is 100% a ceremony to select the Demon Emperor... The fact that no will was left behind, and the fighting was instigated, is to give the already designated successor time to grow. Before his death, the Demon Emperor must have already negotiated terms and won over the hearts of the Demon King. Once the civil war begins, his people can take advantage of the chaos to eliminate dissidents and support the true successor to ascend the throne... I heard from Old Bai that this generation of Demon Emperor seems to have taken advantage of the weakness after the War Between Humans and Demons to launch an invasion of the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. The foolish Monster Race always repeats the same mistakes."

"Don't say that."

Su Xiangxue Righteous Path, "If Bai Qiuran hadn't appeared out of nowhere in the last great battle, the weakened Ten Lands of Jiuzhou really wouldn't have been able to defeat them. After all, all the good Divine Ability of the previous era were cut off by your good disciple."

Wisdom Immortal was speechless for a moment, then finally said, "Then we can only say that Heaven is blessing our Human Race."

"What nonsense! According to you, he'd rather I, this 'Heaven's Envy,' be dead."

Bai Qiuran glanced at Wisdom Immortal.

Wisdom Immortal immediately fell silent.

"Oh, right."

Su Xiangxue suddenly looked around as if she remembered something and asked, "Where did Ruowei go?"

"Oh, she's in seclusion."

Bai Qiuran said in an envious and jealous tone, "That little girl is already breaking through to the Golden Core, tsk!"

"He's still your disciple, after all."

Su Xiangxue squinted at Bai Qiuran, who was spitting to the side, then clapped her hands and said, "In that case, would you like to come and visit me?"

"Ah?"

Bai Qiuran a moment, then asked, "Why?"

"I still have a few subordinates in the Monster Race. Who knows, they might be able to find information about the Imperial Mausoleum during this civil war."

Su Xiangxue's eyes darted around, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her tone was stiff, as if she were reciting a script.

"Look, if they have any news, you can find out immediately... Besides, you're going to be researching the Earth Immortal Divine Ability Method immortals anyway, so it doesn't matter where you research it, right?"

"That seems... to be somewhat true."

Bai Qiuran to be deep in thought.

"Right, right?"

Su Xiangxue nodded and said, "It's inconvenient for me to stay here. After all, I am the Hehuan Sect Master of the Hehuan Sect, while you are a free agent. No one in the Azure Nether Sword Sect can stop you from going wherever you want."

Does it include meals and accommodation?

Bai Qiuran asked the final question.

"Of course, I can also treat you to One-Night Bonding Wine' (a traditional Chinese wedding drink)."

Su Xiangxue smiled.

"That's it."

Bai Qiuran grabbed Wisdom Immortal, draped her around his waist, and solemnly said, "Let's go."

He left a letter on the table in his room, informing Tang Ruowei, who was in seclusion, of his whereabouts. Then, he followed Su Xiangxue and left the territory of Guzhou, heading to the headquarters of the Hehuan Sect.

Like the headquarters of the Hehuan Sect Pavilion in Immortal City Jade Tower was located in Yunzhou, the most prosperous region in the Ten Lands of Jiuzhou. The two sects controlled the two wealthiest countries in Yunzhou respectively, and established their headquarters on the best spiritual land in the country. Unlike the secluded policies of other sects, both sects built a magnificent Great City on the spiritual land as their headquarters. Around this Great City, a prosperous satellite city and region developed. In fact, these two headquarters were several times more prosperous than the Capital of the two countries.

Fortunately, both sects now prioritize business over factionalism, which allows them to coexist peacefully in Yunzhou without fighting, and they even occasionally have large-scale commercial dealings.

With Su Xiangxue leading the way, Bai Qiuran naturally had no trouble getting through. However, because of the old hag from the Previous Generation, Bai Qiuran still had some preconceived bad impressions of this place.

After all, when he last came here, it was a place full of blood, violence, and debauchery, like Mortal World hell. So, even when Su Xiangxue occasionally invited Bai Qiuran stay, he would only stay in other Other Courtyard in the Joyful Realm.

However, after hundreds of years, Su Xiangxue Bai Qiuran surprised to find that the Hehuan Sect disciples here were now properly dressed.

This shows that Su Xiangxue's reforms over the past few centuries have been remarkably effective.

The disciples of the Hehuan Sect were also surprised to see Bai Qiuran. This was the first time they had seen their Sect Master leader bring a man back to the headquarters since Su Xiangxue took over as Sect Master.

The disciples whispered among themselves, feeling that their Sect Master had finally seen the light. They unanimously believed that once Su Xiangxue began to freely engage in sexual cultivation, surpassing Huangfu Feng and becoming the Number One of the Demonic Sect Alliance would be just around the corner.

Some disciples who recognized Bai Qiuran and knew a little about the situation quickly ran to inform the other Personal Disciple to prepare for Su Xiangxue.
