Split Personality

The Heavenly Secret Monster did not exchange as many pleasantries as humans did. It merely swept a gloomy glance over the Great Demon and thought, There are two matters now. The greatest is to strike the Dragon Maiden before she is formally invested.

Otherwise, once she receives the investiture, she will gradually recover her authority. Not only us—even Zhou Xuan, who has been steadily rising, will likely have his fate suppressed. That is why so many top Great Demons support me.

Right, that bastard Zhou Xuan. His true form is a crow, yet he has obtained the essence of the sun and wishes to become a Three-Legged Golden Crow, carving out another path to become a demon king. I wonder whether he can succeed—he absolutely must not succeed.

The second matter is the karma of Chu Gurong. It refuses to be so stubborn, its baleful aura impossible to wear away. Disregarding that we are originally one, it would rather damage my foundation than force me to kill Su Ziji.

But Su Ziji bears Dragon Aura, the very thing that restrains beings like us. How could he be easy to kill? Killing him directly is impossible; we can only take a roundabout path. Unfortunately, Prince Qi did not take the bait and refused to spare no effort in killing him.

In terms of urgency, the Dragon Maiden is still the more pressing matter. Imperial Envoy Luo Pei has already brought the imperial decree. Although Liu Zhan also does not wish for the Dragon Maiden to be invested and has talked the imperial envoy into inspecting the provinces first, it cannot be delayed for too long.
