"Thinking about it this way, wouldn't attacking the Devil Realm be a more advantageous course of action?"

Not only was Qiongqi completely fooled, but even her own people thought what she said made perfect sense.

When did my junior sister become so knowledgeable?

So the Qi of Heaven and Earth has such intricacies? It's truly an eye-opener for them! How did she know all this?

Moreover, those Devil Race were clearly chasing after them, but because Qiaoqiao said that, it became that they harbored ill intentions towards the Demon Realm. I wonder if the Devil Master would be so angry that he would vomit blood if he knew.

The elders of the Xiao Household looked at the young girl with admiration, feeling a sense of regret that they had wasted their lives.

I admire you so much.

After saying all this, Qiaoqiao was also in a daze. How did she know all this? It was as if she didn't even need to think; this knowledge just naturally surfaced in her mind.

But who cares, as long as it works.

"Rational."

"That makes sense..." Hundun said slowly.

Qiongqi looked at Qiaoqiao approvingly. "It's a blessing for the Human Race to have a cultivator like you."

"I will now go and crush the Devil Realm and expand my territory!"

With that, he sped off towards the Devil Realm like a gust of wind.

Hundun is like a ball; hurry up and catch up.

As soon as the two demons left, the overwhelming demonic Yao Qi dissipated, and the area around the ruins of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda fell into silence.

The Demon Race were still in shock.

Their newly acquired ruler of the Demon Realm has just run away?

Although the two demons left to expand the Demon Realm, something just feels so strange.

There's something strange about it that I can't quite put my finger on.

It seems... it shouldn't be like this.

The Human Race present stared in astonishment at Qiaoqiao. Despite her petite stature, she seemed to radiate light amidst the crowd. A potential war between the two realms was averted by her mere words.

Who exactly is she...?

The elder of the Xiao Household couldn't help but whisper to Xiao Tingyu, "Young Miss, is she really your junior sister?"

Xiao Tingyu nodded. "What?"

"Actually, the Xiao Household still has a vacancy for the position of Grand Elder. I wonder if she would be interested..."

Xiao Tingyu:...

You're really quite inconsiderate.

However, she was once again captivated. Just how many more surprises could her junior sister possibly bring them?

Clouds are gathering on the horizon; more people are arriving.

The commotion of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda's collapse also alarmed the Human Realm. Those who rushed over at this time were familiar faces: Protector Cheng of the Profound Heaven Sect and Commandant Feng of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, followed by several sect elders.

Where the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda collapsed, the impact of Yao Qi was too violent, causing a gap to appear in the barrier. The leader and his group rushed in, attracting the attention of all the demons. They hadn't expected that about half of the Demon Realm would be gathered here. Being watched by so many demons made his hair stand on end. Just as he was about to go back to get reinforcements, he saw Qiaoqiao in the demon horde.

Commandant Feng's eyes narrowed.

The Demon Race didn't recognize Qiaoqiao, but he had a very strong impression of her face. This girl had embarrassed him time and time again. Even if she turned to ashes, he would still recognize her, let alone now that she was disguised as Demon Race!

"Qiaoqiao, and you all—" Her gaze swept over the people around her, Commandant Feng angrily rebuked, "The Flowing Cloud Sect actually conspired with the Demon Race, causing the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda to collapse and releasing evil demons! What is your punishment?!"

"Traitor!"

"Sinner!"

The elders behind him followed up with reprimands.

"She didn't!" Tu San hurriedly interjected, "She didn't do it!"

"What other excuses do you have? This monster is clearly in cahoots with you!"

"I never imagined that the Flowing Cloud Sect would pretend to maintain impartiality while secretly conspiring with the Demon Race to betray the Cultivation World. I discovered this long ago. You really are no good."

"Bullshit!" Xiao Tingyu was so angry that her chest felt tight.

Tu San was equally furious, her rabbit eyes turning red. These people were so vicious; they were clearly framing Qiaoqiao!

They're both Human Race, so why is there such a huge difference?

Even some Demon Race couldn't help but feel indignant.

The scene became very strange; the Human Race were busy framing their own people, while the Demon Race were speaking up for the Human Race.

This gave the Commandant Feng an opportunity to make a fuss over the issue.

Qiaoqiao squinted at him. "Commander, if I remember correctly, shouldn't you be under house arrest and reflecting on your actions? Why are you here?"

"And you, Protector Cheng, aren't you one too?"

Protector Cheng looked embarrassed. "In this emergency, we only came to investigate."

"So, you've only been released temporarily, and you'll have to go back to being locked up later?"

"..."

The Demon Race were abuzz with discussion. The Human Race had only sent a handful of people to investigate? Were they out of options?

Amidst the buzzing discussions, the Commandant Feng even more enraged and shouted sternly, "Qiaoqiao, and the rest of you, aren't you going back with me anyway? Even if Mu Liuyun were here, he couldn't protect you!"

He recognized Xiao Tingyu, Wen Zhi, and the others, but he didn't recognize Bai Fu, whose face was covered by a white veil.

No matter how hard he racked his brains, he probably couldn't have imagined that Immortal Venerable Wanghan would accompany his disciples deep into the Demon Realm. Was that something an Immortal Venerable of a realm should do?

The elders of the Xiao Household immediately shielded Xiao Tingyu, shouting, "Protect the young lady!"

Commandant Feng and Protector Cheng exchanged a glance, reached a consensus, and simultaneously attacked Qiaoqiao!

These two palm strikes were delivered with full force, intended to settle old scores at this moment, and Qiaoqiao would surely be killed by their palms today!

"Qiaoqiao!"

"Junior Sister!"

Amidst the shouts, a fleeting sword shadow streaked past.

The heavens and earth turned cold.

Protector Cheng and Commandant Feng were simultaneously pierced through the heart by two Sword-Ray. The chilling murderous intent intent contained in the swords was like a rain of pear blossoms, shattering their meridians and causing blood to gush out like a spring!
