Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!-Chapter 595: The Demon Emperor is Returning Soon

It was astonishing that such a young-looking girl could command such respect from the members of the Wuji Sect.

Who was she exactly?

Jiang Ni'er took the initiative to explain, "Someone devised a scheme, assassinated the Demon Emperor's heir, Qin Meng, and framed Chen for it, but... Chen didn't pursue the matter."

First, everyone had already reached a consensus: regardless of who killed Qin Meng, Chen Pingping would ultimately be the one to take the blame.

The Demon Emperor would seek retribution, but not now.

Therefore, it was an established fact that the Demon Emperor's Demon Race had taken action.

Second, the person behind the scheme was powerful, so Chen Pingping needed a more stable strategy.

Third, the hidden enemy lurking here had not left. They had remained hidden, itching to move, and might strike at any moment.

"Who?" Guang Xiaoyu asked.

"Someone who appeared to be from the Divine Clan, and... there are also two young prodigies from the Ancient City," said Jiang Ni'er.

The Divine Clan?

Guang Xiaoyu remained calm, as if recalling something. After a while, she finally asked, "Who are the other two?"

"One is an Emperor of Medicine named Sound, and the other is a prodigy from the Alien Race called Candle, whose true form is likely from the Ancient Candle Dragon Clan. Chen has deduced that they will make their move at this specific time."

Striking while he forged the Heaven Tao Divine Weapon was not the optimal time.

Li Chaoge, Sound, and Candle would likely wait until the Demon Emperor fully awakened and led the Demon Race army to invade this place before they chose to act.

That would be the most challenging time for Chen Pingping.

Even if he succeeded in forging the Emperor Weapon, had Yu Changfeng's assistance, and all members of the Wuji Sect mobilized, it might still be futile.

An invincible contemporary expert taking action, plus the Demon Race's vast army, Li Chaoge of the Divine Clan, Sound, Candle... even those formidable enemies from the past who bore grudges against Chen Pingping would be watching from the shadows.

A catastrophe.

A difficult situation.

Upon hearing her words, all the alliance experts present were shocked, their expressions changing drastically.

They had always believed Chen Pingping killed Qin Meng, thinking he was audacious enough to challenge the Demon Emperor. They never expected so much was hidden beneath the surface.

It turned out this terrifying catastrophe was orchestrated by someone in the shadows, manipulating events.

The Divine Clan, the Ancient City, the Demon Emperor... 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Each name represented immense power and terror—unfathomable and untouchable. Now, they were all poised to strike at Chen Pingping simultaneously.

The alliance experts exchanged horrified glances.

Mo Wuwei and the others felt the same. They had thought their only powerful enemy was the Demon Race, but it was now clear there were far more.

"The Divine Clan, such audacity," Guang Xiaoyu said coldly, then swept her gaze over the group of alliance experts. "What are they doing here?"

"Members of the Human Clan's border alliance."

"Oh?"

Guang Xiaoyu raised an eyebrow.

Several high-ranking members of the alliance exchanged glances, preparing to step forward and introduce themselves.

However...

Jiang Ni'er spoke up, "Their strength is too weak; they are not included in Chen's plan."

Alliance: "..."

Had this been before, the alliance members would have undoubtedly retorted, shouting, berating angrily, pointing at Jiang Ni'er's nose and cursing, spittle flying everywhere.

They had defended this place for many years, repelling countless attacks from the Demon Race.

Without them, the Southern Diaspora, even Huangzhou and Wuzhou, would have long ago fallen to the Demon Race, and the humans living in these regions would have become their slaves.

The alliance's existence held immense importance and significance, with undeniable, great contributions.

But in Jiang Ni'er's tone, they sounded like street thugs; even gathered here, they were nothing more than a disorderly mob, incapable of achieving anything great.

But... no one retorted. On the contrary, hearing Jiang Ni'er's words, the faces of the alliance experts burned. They wanted to speak but hesitated, unsure of what to say.

The members of the Human Clan's border alliance had almost forgotten how many years it had been since they last set foot into Demon Race territory.

They had always been on the defensive, never launching an attack.

In contrast, Jiang Ni'er and her companion, just two of them, had fearlessly faced tens of thousands of powerful Demon Race members and annihilated them on this very spot.

Such an astonishing combat record was a miracle within the Human Race Alliance, a feat they had never before accomplished.

Even if Jiang Ni'er had called them cowards, no one would have dared to object.

"Indeed..." Guang Xiaoyu agreed. "They are too weak. Rushing into this kind of battle would only make them a hindrance." After a pause, she added, "What's the next plan?"

She grinned, her eyes flashing with a keen light, eager for action, like a famished beast that had just spotted its prey.

Finally, I can really show what I'm made of! My true strength as an Emperor is about to be revealed! When that time comes, it will surely astonish everyone and make Chen see me in a completely new light!

Guang Xiaoyu thought, her smile growing ever more radiant.

"Heavens! Xiaoyu, you're actually so incredible!"

"Wow, wow, wow... Xiaoyu, I'm absolutely crazy about you!"

"Xiaoyu, let's go stargazing tonight!"

The scene played out vividly in her mind.

Lost in these fantasies, drool trickled from the corner of Guang Xiaoyu's mouth.

A group of people watched her, stunned.

"Senior Sister, your smile is so odd," Zi Ji said, stunned. "And why are you drooling?"

"Nonsense..." Guang Xiaoyu snapped back to reality, saying with a straight face, "What does a little brat like you understand?"

That smile was particularly unrestrained.

Jiang Ni'er frowned and said, "There is no plan."

Guang Xiaoyu: "???"

"Chen instructed Little Senior Sister and me to intercept the Demon Race army here. He didn't mention the next step, but I suspect we might advance into the Demon Race's lands." She pointed in that direction.

"Fuck?"

Everyone was startled.

Slaying tens of thousands of Demon Race experts on their own battlefield was already an earth-shattering feat, enough to astound the entire Southern Diaspora and be recorded in the annals of the Human Clan.

They never imagined that the Qingfeng lineage would actually plan to enter the Demon Race's heartland and take the initiative to attack.

"You mean...?" Guang Xiaoyu suddenly grew excited.

"Confront the Demon Emperor directly."

"Fuck? Seriously?!" Guang Xiaoyu exclaimed, her entire being buzzing with excitement. "Chen is going to face the Demon Emperor directly? That's so badass! What realm is Chen at now?"

"Not entirely sure. Probably only the Saint Realm."

"Damn it, worthy of being this lady's man... Oh, no, worthy of being my, Guang Xiaoyu's, Chen..." She grew increasingly agitated, her words becoming incoherent.

Li Qi, who knew the truth, his face darkening, couldn't help but interject, "Xiao Yu, please mind your image!"

"Senior Sister, what did you just say?" Zi Ji asked, completely bewildered.

They had all heard it—"this lady's man..."

If they weren't mistaken, it had to mean "this lady's man."

The group exchanged strange glances.

Guang Xiaoyu shot them a sidelong glance. Though she said nothing, the threat in her eyes was palpable.

Mo Wuwei quickly changed the subject, "Since Chen hasn't laid out the next plan yet, let's return to the border's Ancient City for now!"

"Let's wait a bit longer..." Jiang Ni'er said, her gaze fixed on the direction of the Demon Race. "The commotion earlier was huge, but the Demon Race's side is far too quiet. This isn't normal."

Guang Xiaoyu also narrowed her eyes. "Zi, Ni'er, you two stay here to rendezvous with Chen. I'm going to find reinforcements." With that, without waiting for them to reply, she took the Emperor Spirit and Li Qi, heading towards the Southern Region of the Demon Race's territory.

「The time had come.」

The Demon Emperor, who had dominated for a hundred thousand years, was about to return.
