"The previous Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan, Yin Yue Demon Venerate."

Luo Tianming mentioned this name, and then he noticed Yin Susu looked somewhat bewildered.

Luo Tianming continued, "You’ve probably heard about the big event in the Demon Clan, that Liu Fei’er, who took advantage of external forces like Qin Tian and the Elder Council to conquer the Demon Capital and oust Yin Yue Demon Venerate at such a young age."

"Of course, Yin Yue Demon Venerate is not willing to accept this. In terms of seniority, he’s Liu Fei’er’s uncle! Being bullied by a junior is something he can’t swallow."

"Yin Yue Demon Venerate possesses great wealth and has some loyal officers still residing in the Demon Capital. As long as he can deal with Qin Tian from the Tianyuan Dynasty and those masters of the Elder Council, restoring his position as Demon Emperor will be a breeze."

Luo Tianming spoke enthusiastically, his eyes gleaming, but at this moment, Yin Susu wore a worried expression.

"Are you saying that Yin Yue Demon Venerate came to you?" Yin Susu asked softly.

Luo Tianming proudly replied, "Of course. To deal with Qin Tian and the masters of the Elder Council, Yin Yue Demon Venerate can’t do it alone. He needs people from the Myriad Demon Mountain Range to step forward."

Luo Tianming stared at Yin Susu and said, "Susu, don’t worry. As long as we descend from the mountain successfully this time to help Yin Yue Demon Venerate reclaim the throne, our Luo Family and Yin Family will not only be prominent in the Second Peak but will also become a noble in the entire Demon Clan! With titles and positions, our family will truly soar from this generation!"

Luo Tianming was full of ambition, as if he had already envisioned his dominating scene in the Demon Clan once he succeeded.

Yin Susu hesitated before finally saying, "Young Master Luo, has your Luo Family agreed? If we descend the mountain from the Myriad Demon Mountain Range, we may never return; coming back would mean being treated as traitors..."

"Heh, why return to the Myriad Demon Mountain Range after becoming nobility in the Demon Clan? Though it’s a suitable place for cultivation with numerous masters, those outdated rules left by the ancients forbidding descent must be abolished!"

"With so many masters above the Great Immortal Realm, and even some at the Flying Immortal Realm, cultivating to this level yet staying here idly and wasting away; I’ve long felt these restrictive rules should be discarded!"

Luo Tianming vented his dissatisfaction with the Myriad Demon Mountain Range.

Yin Susu was incredibly surprised upon hearing Luo Tianming’s words.

Remembering what Qin Tian had said to her earlier, Luo Tianming wasn’t as righteous as he appeared...

Could Luo Tianming really be this kind of person?

"Susu, you can go and convince your father. By then, I bet my father will personally visit as well. With our families joining forces, heh, what’s Qin Tian? What’s the Elder Council? Nothing to worry about!"

Luo Tianming had been speaking so much, ultimately intending to persuade Yin Susu to convince the Yin Family!

After learning his aim, Yin Susu suddenly felt slightly uncomfortable from being used, her heart slightly chilled.

"I’ll... I’ll... Hmm... I’ll try."

Yin Susu wasn’t someone who refused easily, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately agreed.

However, upon returning home, her heart remained unsettled for a long time.

Is she really going to leave the Myriad Demon Mountain Range? Truly join in the conflicts outside of it?

Her heart was anxious and confused.

"I once thought he was a carefree and cheerful guy, but it turns out he has such ambition."

When Yin Susu said this, inside, she felt a mix of emotions.

...

Without Gao Ping’s supervision, Qin Tian appeared very free in the Yin Family’s backyard.

At this time, all he could think about was how to thwart Yin Yue Demon Venerate’s plan to ally with the Luo and Yin Families.

With no immediate way to directly eliminate Yin Yue Demon Venerate and Hong Qi, this seemed the most direct and simple approach.

"Housekeeper Yang, why are you here?"

As Qin Tian was leisurely contemplating life in the yard, he suddenly heard Gao Ping’s distant voice, and was surprised at Housekeeper Yang’s presence in the backyard.

Normally, he wouldn’t come.

Housekeeper Yang, with hands behind his back and accompanied by Gao Ping, arrogantly said, "Gather all the men and women in the backyard; I have an announcement."

Gao Ping immediately gathered the group, except for Qin Tian, Wang Xiaoming, and Guo Dapeng, there were more than ten male servants and a dozen maids.

Once they were assembled, Yang Lin said, "Your opportunity has arrived; our family’s young masters and mistresses are preparing to go to the Third Peak for cultivation and training, needing servants and maids to take care of them. The housekeeper has called for two men and four women from the front court, and the backyard needs two people — two men, or a man and a woman, both are fine."

Once he spoke, all the servants fell silent, each lowering their heads, afraid to speak.

Qin Tian, curious, asked Wang Xiaoming, "Xiaoming, what’s wrong, why doesn’t anyone want to go?"

Wang Xiaoming replied, "Who would want to go? Every year those young masters and mistresses go for training, and if half of the servants who accompany them return, it’s considered good. Too dangerous! Especially the Third Peak, where demon beasts are extremely vicious; we servants have low cultivation, and a moment of inattention could lead to being eaten by a demon beast. No one wants to die..."

Wang Xiaoming spoke the truth; indeed, no one wanted to go, leaving Housekeeper Yang and Gao Ping quite awkward.

Gao Ping, feeling embarrassed, said, "Is no one willing to go? This time, Housekeeper Yang has promised increased stipends, and each person who goes will receive five High Grade Spirit Stones."

Still, no one volunteered.

"Since nobody’s speaking up, I’ll start naming names."

Gao Ping’s gaze swept over everyone, causing them all to tremble.

"How about I go? I should support the housekeepers’ work, shouldn’t I?"

Just as everyone was silent in fear, Qin Tian stepped forward and said cheerfully.

"Gosh, Lin Feng?"

"What, he volunteered? Must be crazy?"

"Is he courting death?"

Around him, the servants were stunned, with expressions of disbelief!

Gao Ping suddenly tightened his expression, saying, "Lin Feng, you, you haven’t thought it through. Step down, I’ll arrange it."

Gao Ping didn’t want Qin Tian to go; if Qin Tian went and ended up dead, no one would give him the antidote, and he might have to bury himself with Qin Tian’s fate.

"I’ve thought it through."

Qin Tian spoke directly, causing Gao Ping’s face to change, yet he continued to ask Yang Lin, "Housekeeper Yang, am I eligible to go?"

Yang Lin chuckled, "Nice, what’s your name?"

"Lin Feng."

"Hmm, since you’re the first to volunteer, it’s settled; I’ll reward you with ten High Grade Spirit Stones!"

"Thank you, Housekeeper Yang."

"This..." Gao Ping was dumbfounded, looking very much like he tasted bitterness.

"Gao Ping, quickly select another person."

"...Okay... Alright, Housekeeper Yang."

Gao Ping took a deep breath, already a bit flustered, then directly said, "Wang Xiaoming, you go. You and Lin Feng, serve the young masters and mistresses well; you both... must come back alive!"
