As one of those in the know, he naturally resented the Upper Realm Ancient Court's approach.

In his view, the superior bloodlines of the Demon Clan clearly have innate dominance over the inferior bloodlines, so why go to the lengths of learning the Human Clan's possession?

And the result?

An Upper Realm waste died, and a Lower Realm genius perished... wasn't it a boon for the Human Clan?

"If you ask me, the Ancient Court is just a bunch of cowards..."

Before he could finish, a figure walked into the tent. Several Demon Emperors of the Roc Clan hurriedly stood up, and the Silver Miasma Peng Emperor quickly closed his mouth and got up, "Greetings, Demon Saint..."

"Get out, all of you."

Chebei Demon Saint looked at the Silver Miasma Peng Emperor expressionlessly, waved his hand impatiently, and the Demon Emperors bowed and hastily exited, not forgetting to glance at the Human Clan member beside Demon Saint Lord.

Silver Miasma Peng Emperor's eyes flashed darkly. Judging from this arrogant demeanor, he must be someone from the Upper Realm; otherwise, he wouldn't dare come so casually to the Demon Clan's frontline camp.

What purpose does he have coming all this way?

Silver Miasma Peng Emperor let out a cold snort and walked out of the tent.

"Please."

Chebei Demon Saint Ji Dongqing invited Bai Fu into the tent.

Bai Fu stepped inside, ignoring a Demon Emperor's provocation, unbothered to lower himself to the level of a mere beast!

As he walked into the tent, he glanced at the leftovers on the table, seemingly smiling, "You've worked hard to lure out Lu Jin'an, and couldn't even last thirty minutes. Where's that old Demon Clan aura?"

Ji Dongqing sat in the main seat, expressionless, "Your Buddhist Sect lost many Buddhas, even Emperor Shitian died... what gives you the confidence to speak this way?"

"Lower Realm riffraff, dead means dead." Bai Fu said indifferently, "What does it matter to the Upper Realm?"

"So you want the Two Realms Pass breached now?" Ji Dongqing sneered, "Do you dare?"

Bai Fu avoided the topic and countered, "These 'Fragments' performed even more fragilely than expected..."

"That was against Lu Jin'an." Ji Dongqing said indifferently, "Never mind the Lower Realm, does anyone from your Hidden Life Mountain's younger generation stand a chance against him?"

"Certainly, there are." Bai Fu smiled, pulling out a chair, "Doesn't your Ancient Court have any? That would be quite disgraceful."

"Your master just got defeated by..." Ji Dongqing's words were interrupted by Bai Fu, "Let's discuss the main business first."

Ji Dongqing snickered but didn't continue the topic, "Speak, what's the purpose of your long journey here?"

"Emperor Shitian indeed died, is that so?"

"He's dead." Ji Dongqing said expressionlessly, "Killed by Xiao Yinruo who broke through to Divine Concealment."

"How did she, just entering Divine Concealment, have the ability to kill Emperor Shitian?"

Bai Fu stared into Ji Dongqing's eyes, "Emperor Shitian ranked within the top five in strength among Lower Realm Human Clan; yet he was killed by a woman new to Divine Concealment, do you believe it?"

"That's the fact." Ji Dongqing stated calmly, "If you don't believe it, go to the Wandao Sect to ask Zheng Dongliu for confirmation, dare you?"

Bai Fu said ambiguously, "If he isn't dead and suddenly resurfaces, wouldn't you be at a disadvantage?"

Ji Dongqing shifted his gaze from Bai Fu's face and said slowly, "At least for now, the news of his death is known by all.

And there's no need to focus too much on a dead person; reportedly, Xiao Yinruo's breakthrough to Divine Concealment is related to Lu Jin'an."

"It's just her breakthrough." Bai Fu smiled slightly, "Luckily it wasn't Pei Wanyu of Wandao Sect; her breakthrough to Divine Concealment would be troublesome."

Pei Wanyu is the second strongest in Wandao Sect and the foremost below Divine Concealment among the Human Clan.

"So you came here just to inquire about this matter?" Ji Dongqing placed his hands on the armrests, "If there's nothing more, leave promptly. If people from Two Realms Pass discover you, it will only exacerbate the conflict between you and the Upper and Lower Realms."

"That's not a conflict." Bai Fu's eyes showed disdain, "More like an ant trying to move a cart."

"Your mouths are always that stubborn." Ji Dongqing mocked, "Hurry and leave."

Bai Fu chuckled, "Don't let the fact that Qingyun Jun's son died in Mist River Cave Heaven make you bear animosity towards our Hidden Life Mountain..."

"Leave!" Ji Dongqing interrupted him, "Don't force this saint to show no face to Hidden Life Mountain."

"Don't rush." Bai Fu said unhurriedly, "Help me send someone through Two Realms Pass, perhaps it can aid your master in retrieving Lan Cangjun's body."

Ji Dongqing's eyes flashed, "What do you mean by that?"

"Upper Realm Secret Technique." Bai Fu smiled slightly, "Lan Cangjun's body is in Lu Jin'an's hands, and if retrieved, possession is still possible, right? This would be quite an achievement for you."

Ji Dongqing was silent for a moment before asking, "Who to send?"

"The person is already in the Mist River area; just send someone to contact her."

Bai Fu tossed a token on the table, "After success, Lan Cangjun's body will certainly be given to you."

"From the Upper Realm?" Ji Dongqing looked at the token, "A talent of your Bai Family?"

"Sort of." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Haha, you're finally willing to send a genius to the Lower Realm?"

"Just fishing in troubled waters."

Although Bai Fu spoke lightly, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, "Zheng Dongliu intends to move the Buddhist Sect to the Chang'an Domain. Although it's for surveillance, this move will undoubtedly break the longstanding order of the Chang'an Domain.

Will the sects, families, and nations of Chang'an Domain willingly let a destitute Buddhist Sect divide resources?"

"Do you think Zheng Dongliu can't handle such a small matter?"

"Of course he can." Bai Fu smiled slightly, "Who doesn't heed his words across the entire Lower Realm?

But when it comes to interests, who can guarantee there won't be murmurs in their hearts?"

Bai Fu stood up and clasped his hands behind his back, "Capitalize on this, and you can surely create some chaos in the Chang'an Domain.

Even if, as a last resort, Zheng Dongliu doesn't settle the Buddhist Sect in the Chang'an Domain, he'd do so in the neighboring Cangxuan Domain. But would there be no discontent in Cangxuan Domain?"

Ji Dongqing listened to Bai Fu's voice without any change in expression, just sneered, "After all these years, aside from plotting, it's still plotting. Such plots have rarely succeeded."

Ji Dongqing leaned back in his chair, "Zheng Dongliu stands there openly. Why not think of enhancing your strength to defeat him?"

"Wait until you break through the Two Realms Pass to discuss." Bai Fu was completely unaffected by Ji Dongqing, "Under the leadership of the Dragon Clan, you're at least part of the Cloud Peak Master's group, yet you can't even break this one pass?"

"Do you dare?" Ji Dongqing looked at Bai Fu, "Don't think this saint doesn't know, you're also scared of the Two Realms Pass being broken."

"Within three days." Bai Fu ignored Ji Dongqing's words, "Send her into the Chang'an Domain."

Ji Dongqing retorted, "If it fails again, what then?"

Bai Fu smiled slightly, "Our Bai Family has reared a flood dragon with a Golden Dragon Bloodline, would you accept it?"

Ji Dongqing's eyes lit up, "Deal."

Wandao Sect, Taichu Hall, Main Hall.

Having spent the morning doing needlework, Xiao Yinruo strolled here, looked into the hall with slight surprise, then stepped inside, "You actually do work?"

Pei Wanyu ignored Xiao Yinruo's mockery, merely playing with some invitations in her hand, "Someone's proposing."

"Proposing?" Xiao Yinruo was stunned, "To you?"

"Who has the guts?" Pei Wanyu snorted softly, "It's a proposal for my disciple, utterly clueless!"

Xiao Yinruo's eyebrows furrowed, "Is it from the Five Sects and Seven Schools or the Changqing Immortal Clan? Surely not from Lu..."

"No." Pei Wanyu shook her head, "It's from a Second Grade Family power in the Chang'an Domain, wanting their Ninth Miss to be a concubine for Jin'an."

"Just refuse it." Xiao Yinruo said indifferently, "Preposterous, ludicrous!"

Pei Wanyu looked at Xiao Yinruo with a smile, "Why the hurry?"

"I'm considering this for that Miss." Xiao Yinruo was expressionless, "Nanzhi would kill her."

"True." Pei Wanyu nodded slightly, "Let's wait until Jin'an returns."

"Such a trivial matter, just refuse it directly."

"These invitations bypassed the Sect Master..." Pei Wanyu gently knocked on the table, "Directly sent to Taichu Hall, only daring to send it to Jin'an here."

"Because of the Buddhist Sect's relocation?" Xiao Yinruo was somewhat surprised, "Isn't this up to Sect Master Zheng to decide?"

"It's entrusted to Jin'an." Pei Wanyu's eyes flashed with helplessness, "He just hinted this morning, and by afternoon these invitations were on my desk."

"Well, let's not discuss this any further..." Pei Wanyu shoved all the invitations into the drawer, "Out of sight, out of mind, let's let Jin'an handle them when he returns."
