817: 237 817: 237 Cao Zhen never expected that by observing the Eclipse Demon in order to find out about the situation of the third prince and his people, he would continue to be completely fed a dog-food feast.
After hearing herself being called a snot-nosed kid by the Eclipse Demon, Qian Jiao was so stirred up that she disregarded the recently killed Qian Wu, who had been jointly assassinated by her and the Eclipse Demon.
She rushed in front of the Eclipse Demon, hugged him tightly, and muttered to herself, filled with words like, “Senior Brother, you truly haven’t forgotten me.
You remember everything about me, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”
After a long while, under the pressing questions of the unromantic Eclipse Demon, she nodded and responded, “Yes, Senior Brother, I have indeed gone over to the fourth prince.”
The Eclipse Demon’s brow immediately furrowed deeply.
“Why would you side with the fourth prince, you…”
Seeing the Eclipse Demon’s strange expression, Qian Jiao hurriedly explained, “No, Senior Brother, don’t misunderstand.
I simply pledged allegiance to the fourth prince; there’s nothing between the fourth prince and me.”
The Eclipse Demon immediately felt a headache coming on.
“What’s there for me to misunderstand?
I’m not misunderstanding anything; I’m just confused.
Why would you align with the fourth prince?
What were you thinking?
Our Sun and Moon Demon Sect supports the third prince.
What are you going to do about it?”
“Senior Brother, it’s precisely because our Sun and Moon Demon Sect supports the third prince that I chose to join the fourth prince,” replied Qian Jiao as she saw the Eclipse Demon had no misunderstandings and breathed a sigh of relief while quietly explaining.
“The third prince has no chance.
Senior Brother, you don’t understand the fourth prince.
You don’t know how powerful he truly is, and you are even less aware of the fourth prince’s plans.
In the end, when they restore the dynasty, the throne will undoubtedly belong to the fourth prince.
By then, all of the third prince’s people will be purged.
I pledged myself to the fourth prince also for our Sun and Moon Demon Sect.”
Qian Jiao paused briefly and then looked at the Eclipse Demon with a hint of mystery in her eyes and asked softly, “Senior Brother, why does our Sun and Moon Demon Sect support the third prince instead of the fourth prince?”
The Eclipse Demon almost subconsciously replied, “The Red Refinery Demon Sect supports the fourth prince; naturally, we side with the third prince.
Moreover, our Sun and Moon Demon Sect’s support for the third prince isn’t a recent development.
When our old Sect Leader was alive, we had already sided with the third prince…”
Without waiting for the Eclipse Demon to finish, Qian Jiao interrupted, “The old Sect Leader is no longer with us.”
The Eclipse Demon furrowed his brows and corrected her, “The old Sect Leader is not gone; he and our Sun and Moon Demon Sect’s experts are just in slumber.”
“What’s the difference?” Qian Jiao scoffed disdainfully.
“By the time they wake up, it will have been a hundred years later.
Though a hundred years may not seem very long for cultivators, it’s enough time for the fourth prince to restore the dynasty and ascend the throne.
By then, what difference would it make if the old Sect Master and the others wake up?
Would they dare to plot against the fourth prince?
Dare to seek us out?
Moreover, if the fourth prince truly ascends the throne, and we lead the Sun and Moon Demon Sect to him, it would be a salvation for our Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
When the old Sect Master and the others awaken, they wouldn’t blame us, but instead, they should be grateful for our actions.”
Locking her gaze, Qian Jiao paused briefly, then stepped closer to the Eclipse Demon and spoke with determination, “Senior Brother, now is the Reversal Mini Epoch Period when all the experts are in slumber, and the highest combat power is the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.
If the two of us join forces to kill the Sun Moon Demon, who do you think would inherit the position of Sect Master?”
The Eclipse Demon’s eyes suddenly narrowed, staring intensely at Qian Jiao.
After a long moment, he finally spoke, “It should be the Xue Yue Demon.
His strength is second only to the Sun Moon Demon.”
After a short pause, he looked at Qian Jiao and added, “Of course, it could also be Junior Sister.
Your strength is feared to be above many others.”
“Senior Brother, haven’t you also been concealing your abilities?
Before this, who knew that you possessed Divine Skills in Sonic Waves, and such high-tier Sonic Waves at that.
Even though your main target was Qian Wu, I almost got caught in the crossfire as well,” Qian Jiao remarked, as the tone of her voice changed suddenly, her eyes full of deep affection as she looked at the Eclipse Demon.
“Besides, I won’t compete with you, Senior Brother.
The only one who could pose a barrier is the Xue Yue Demon.
But what if the Xue Yue Demon were gone as well?
Then, the position of Sect Master of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect would definitely fall upon you, Senior Brother.
By then, we will find a way to lead the entire Sun and Moon Demon Sect to the fourth prince.”
The Eclipse Demon was completely stunned.
“So, you plan to kill the Sun Moon Demon and the Xue Yue Demon one after another?
Let’s put aside the strength of those two for a moment; even if we’re fully confident in killing them, if we actually do…
we will have killed off all the top experts in our Sun and Moon Demon Sect; what value would our Sect have left?
How many experts would remain in our Sun and Moon Demon Sect?”
“As long as we side with the fourth prince, we will naturally have our value.
As for experts?
Our Sun and Moon Demon Sect’s value lies not in top rank experts but in the entirety of our Sect,” she explained.
Qian Jiao tempted the Eclipse Demon, saying, “So, let’s pledge allegiance to the fourth prince, Senior Brother.
Then I will support you in becoming the Sect Master of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect.
Moreover, we’ve already killed a person from the third prince’s side; we no longer have a way out.”
The Eclipse Demon extended his hands with a pained expression and massaged his head, saying with a troubled look, “What you’re saying is all too sudden; let me think it over properly.
For now, let’s take care of Qian Wu’s body.”
