"I just want to try some new methods and the taste of manipulating life and death like in novels." Pei Yan said, looking down at his palm with an eager gleam in his eyes.

"Weirdo!" Xila scoffed at Pei Yan's response, "No matter what you're planning, you've already achieved your goal. Now that the official business is over, let's talk about some personal matters."

"Hmm? What personal matters do we have between us?" Pei Yan, coming back to his senses, looked up in confusion. However, he didn't catch a reply from the other party but noticed Xila staring at him directly with an intense gaze, as if trying to see through the mechanical body and probe him thoroughly.

Feeling this fierce gaze for the first time, Pei Yan could only feel a chill down his spine. He retreated slightly, cleared his throat, and reminded, "Miss Xila, I've already accepted this prince status. I think that's enough."

The more Pei Yan spoke, the more Xila's gaze focused on him. As he stepped back, Xila stepped forward, and he sighed deeply, both smug about his damn charisma and resolute as he said, "Miss Xila, I will not sacrifice my own emotions for external benefits. We are not compatible, so please stop here."

Stopping in her tracks and withdrawing her gaze, Xila's eyes once again turned icy cold. Detached from the mystical state, she looked at Pei Yan with a condescending glare and mocked, "I really can't understand how the source entity of your world chose you as a candidate, nor can I fathom how someone like you managed to reach this level."

As she spoke, Xila reached out, attempting to touch Pei Yan's right eye. He leaned back to dodge her touch, yet Xila wasn't angry, she asked with jealousy, "How did you achieve the perfect balance of six types of energy? I've tried numerous methods but failed! After absorbing the power of the Disaster Legion and the cornerstone plane, can the six types of energy automatically achieve balance?"

Once Pei Yan understood what Xila was focused on, he felt a bit disappointed. Seeing her question, he seized the opportunity to retort, "Dream on about achieving balance automatically. Soon you will have the seed of the cornerstone plane, if you get the chance you can..."

Before he could finish, Xila reached for the storage necklace on her neck, extending her hand towards Pei Yan and slowly opening her palm. Pei Yan's gaze was immediately drawn to the item in her palm, his eyes lit up as he exclaimed, "Where did you get this thing?"

Seeing Pei Yan's reaction, Xila revealed a proud smile. Inside her palm were none other than six fragments of the Disaster Legion's origin, and under Pei Yan's greedy gaze, the girl closed her palm again indifferently and said, "After fighting with the Disaster Legion for so many years, I've managed to get my hands on these spoils. If you could tell me how to master the balance of these six energies, I wouldn't mind giving you two pieces as a reward."

Pei Yan was surprised by her words, then reluctantly withdrew his gaze from her fist, shaking his head regretfully, "Your offer is tempting, but unfortunately, I can't do it."

"Why?" Xila asked unhappily with raised eyebrows.

"It's not that I'm stingy with my secrets. I achieved this state by accident; the process of breaking and rebuilding was extremely dangerous and hard to replicate." Having said this, Pei Yan saw Xila's doubtful expression and decided to recount his experience of achieving this power, concluding, "If you still don't believe me, you can ask Samikina. I confronted him the next day; he can testify."

Pei Yan didn't expect Xila's face to become increasingly grim as he spoke, and by the end, she couldn't suppress the killing intent coming from her body. Not knowing what set this woman off, he quickly prepared for a confrontation, only to hear her say in a low voice, "Are you saying someone tampered with Samikina's Demon God Core?"

A thought flashed through Pei Yan's mind, and he quickly understood the reason. His slip of the tongue seemed to have caused the Samikina Clan a bit of trouble, but he didn't care, instead feigning surprise and asking back, "You didn't know?"

With this question, Xila's face darkened, and she turned to the broken wall, shouting something loudly. What puzzled Pei Yan was that he could sense it should be the Demon Race language, but he couldn't understand a word. While he couldn't comprehend it, others could. Looking through the hole in the wall, Pei Yan saw Samikina, who was feared even among the noble lords outside. At this moment, he was so terrified that he couldn't speak, his knees buckled, and he collapsed, shaking like a leaf. Seeing Samikina's behavior, the demons who accompanied him all prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to lift their heads.

After venting her anger, Xila returned to Pei Yan and said in a deep voice, "Are you really unable to do it?"

Pei Yan shook his head; even if he could do it, he wouldn't help the other party. Who knows what would happen after the Disaster Legion is repelled? He wouldn't plant the seeds of a formidable enemy for petty benefits.

Seeing Xila's disappointed expression, Pei Yan seized the chance to change the subject, "What language were you speaking just now? I couldn't understand it."

"The earliest ancient demon language, only passed down within the oldest direct lines of families." Xila, seeming distracted from her failed attempt, said, "Since that's the case, only two matters remain. The first is that from now on, I will move with you all, and not return to the Holy City."

"What?"

"Don't worry, I'm just following you, not monitoring nor limiting your rights. If necessary, I can follow your orders." Seeing the worry and displeasure in Pei Yan's eyes, Xila explained.

"Why?"

"Ah, if you leave the Hell Plane, you must also take me and provide me the right to live in the cornerstone plane."

Hearing this, Pei Yan furrowed his brow and finally took it seriously, saying gravely, "Is your situation already this tense?"

"It's not as serious as you think; the situation is relatively stable now. The Disaster Legion leaders seem to be plotting something; both sides are currently in a standoff. So this is probably one of the contingency plans my father has plotted for me."

Leader, again a leader, Pei Yan had heard this term more than once, he was unable to hide his curiosity and asked, "How did you get pushed to this extent on your own turf? Your father, the Demon God, is the source entity of this world, right? The one who can defeat him must also be a source entity. What kind of figure is the opponent?"

"This information is not something you're worthy of knowing." Seeing Pei Yan's displeasure and wanting to speak, Xila hurriedly added, "I'm not worthy of knowing either. My father engaged the opponent several times and never told us the details. I only know that he grew weaker after each battle."
