"My lord, are these people trustworthy?"
Is it credible?
Following the secluded garden path, Shen Qi Chen Qing cautiously asked, "Where is the path becoming increasingly quiet?"
"It's definitely not credible," Chen Qing said with a sneer. However, given the current situation, they had no choice but to try cooperating, as the situation was more serious than they had imagined.
The emperor from the Xiao Household actually managed to turn King Xiang against him.
To this day, he still hasn't figured out how the other person managed to do it.
A mortal emperor, aside from providing some fortune to the world, is almost useless compared to a powerful guild!
Guilds possess more powerful cultivation techniques and paths to strength. With the Spiritual Energy Revival, increasingly powerful demons are taking control. In comparison, human emperors will become less and less effective in later versions. As demons wreak havoc and various forces rise, the human race will be like a fragile bubble, meaningless no matter how many there are.
The future that the guild could offer King Xiang was far beyond what any earthly emperor could match.
Since the member of the Xiao Household could neither threaten King Xiang nor offer him a better future than the guild, how could he possibly win King Xiang over to rebel?
But no matter what, he did it.
Chen Qing recalled the first time she met that guy.
Back then, I was powerless to resist. He held my fate in his hands, and with a single thought, he could obliterate me. Now, I am one of the strongest people in this time period, and I should no longer be threatened by him. After taking the princess away from him a few days ago, I should have eliminated my Heart Demon.
But that unease in my heart has been inexplicably there all along, and now it seems it's about to come true.
" King Xiang Palace belongs to King Xiang," Chen Qing transmitted his voice. "Therefore, the giant python we're cooperating with can poison this place without any scruples. If it weren't for the cover of this Black Lantern, everyone here would have been poisoned to death long ago. It's a dead end now; the other side has the upper hand. We have no choice but to cooperate."
Even now, Chen Qing has been unable to find a way to break the deadlock and can only try to see if there is any new hope from these old guild players.
"This is the first time I've heard such a helpless tone from you, My Lord," Shen Qi said with a wry smile. "That person from the Xiao Household is indeed as the Ancestor said—quite dangerous."
"You've met your ancestor?" Chen Qing asked curiously.
"I've seen him." Shen Qi nodded. "Back then, the Ancestor mainly Xiushe technique and was extremely greedy. His obsession with immortality reached a twisted level, which caused many people to feel terrified when they saw him. They felt that he could swallow everything around him at any moment. Indeed, back then, the Ancestor looked at everyone as if he wanted to swallow them whole."
"And then?" This was the first time Chen Qing had heard Shen Qi mention this.
"Then he encountered the emperor of the Great Jin." Shen Qi recalled that time when the Xiao Household member personally led a group of aristocratic generals to negotiate. At that time, the Shen Family all thought that their ancestor could scare away the newly promoted emperor as before. After all, for thousands of years, Jiangnan had always been a land outside the capital, and had always been the ancestor's territory.
But on that occasion, the patriarch only caught a glimpse of the emperor from afar before sending his elder brother to make contact with him, while he himself went into seclusion.
"I remember the look in the old ancestor's eyes very clearly at that time." Shen Qi stroked his chin. "The old ancestor was afraid."
"Scared?" Chen Qing habitually fidgeted with his fingers, pondering. The Shen Family patriarch, who had lived for a thousand years, was probably the strongest being below the Transcendent, yet he was afraid of the Xiao Household emperor.
That guy definitely has a secret.

" Chen Qing has arrived."
In the King Xiang Palace, a figure in a black dragon robe stands out in the darkness, both concealed and conspicuous—a unique presence in a unique place.
This is King Xiang Palace Ghost King Hall King's Hall, the center of power within Xiang Yu's palace.
This place is a balance of yin and yang!
The worlds of the living and the world of the dead are opposite each other, upside down, separated by a glass-like mirror. The palace of the living is bright and grand, while the palace of the Underworld is heavy and solemn.
As for the thrones, the two emperors sat on each other's thrones, separated by a yin-yang mirror, upside down, yet facing each other in a confrontational manner.
The speaker was the emperor of the Xiao Household. He was looking into the distance, at the location of the royal palace garden. Clearly, he was able to know Chen Qing's movements at any time.
"You value this person highly?" King Xiang below opened his eyes. His unique double pupils did not appear deformed at all; instead, they gave him an incomparably majestic and sacred aura.
"A very different kind of Reincarnator." The emperor smiled.
"But they are also Reincarnator."
The emperor fell silent upon hearing this, then looked outside. "Yes, no matter what they've done, they're still Reincarnator, fundamentally different from us."
Upon hearing King Xiang closed his double pupils.
This new emperor of the mortal realm is very ambitious, the most ambitious person he has ever met, but also the one most like him!
The only reason they could come together and become emperors hand in hand was that they both hated the Reincarnator!
The Reincarnator a group of people who appear out of nowhere, wearing the skin of their fellow human beings, clamoring for grand ambitions to change the world. But every time they deceive the human race and help them ascend to their rightful positions, they immediately become more brutal than demons.
Time and time again, without exception!
"Our Xiao Household's ancestors were Reincarnator." The emperor looked into the distance, a somewhat eerie smile on his face. "This information was given to me by my beloved ancestor. It's quite interesting. In their eyes, apart from Reincarnator, even descendants like us who share close blood ties with them are not considered their kind, right?"
"Otherwise, why would they use it so casually? Sacrificing their own infant offspring to have sex with descendants many years later—what are you and I to them?"
"That's why I don't believe the King of Qin. No matter how grand his words are, I don't believe him. Even if he seals away all the ancient things, as long as those who follow him are still those damned Reincarnator, our world will be no different from before."
King Xiang remained silent, merely experiencing the wondrous Underworld.
The special nature of the King Xiang Palace allowed him to sense Chen Qing's massive Underworld operations. Although he couldn't make decisions or do anything in the Underworld, he could sense what this vast Underworld was conveying to him.
Very peaceful, utterly peaceful.
He had never seen such a peaceful underworld since he was born.
In his memory, the Ghostly Dwelling was like a land of wild beasts. No matter how noble a human was, once they arrived here, they could only become ugly evil spirits, killing each other, endlessly killing each other, and constantly breeding the most terrible resentment in the world.
He was born amidst carnage, rose to kingship in the Ghost Domain, and witnessed countless acts of brutal slaughter.
I've never seen a ghost's dwelling place like this before.
Even as a child, he couldn't understand why the ghosts on the Yin-Yang Road, who were all humanized, could be so cruel to each other.
Why can't we live in peace like people in the mortal world?
Back then, his mother told him that peace and tranquility are achieved through bloodshed!
So he obeyed his mother's words and became the most terrifying weapon in the world.
But just as he was about to sweep away the world, he saw the terrifying beings behind his mother and realized that he had been deceived.
There can never be peace in this world.
As long as those so-called Reincarnator still exist!
Chen Qing created a brief period of peace; his Jiangnan and his Underworld were the least violent places he had ever seen.
But just as the Xiao Household member said, he is Reincarnator!!
