Chapter 655 Game

He thought of the reports from the Snow Wolf and Black Bear clan leaders, and couldn't help but look suspiciously at the other divine beast clan leaders. Were the little cubs from the Snow Wolf and Black Bear clans sent in to Jiang Li as hostages?

How did they know that I would send out the Snow Wolf and Black Bear clans?

Could it be that they have an inside agent within the Ten Thousand Demons Palace?

The Demon Emperor's cold gaze swept over Jiang Li and the five divine beast clan leaders, and he sneered, "What a fine example of mutual support! I'll remember it."

He had wings on his back, and with a sudden flap, he stirred up a cloud of black mist.

"go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure suddenly soared into the air, enveloped in endless black mist, and headed towards the horizon without looking back.

Qiongqi reverted to human form and glanced at the naive yet clever and lively girl standing in the courtyard with a half-smile. This future demon queen seemed to be more complex than she appeared.

Immediately, he and Shadow Snake followed the Demon Emperor, their figures flickering as they disappeared into the thick fog.

Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that the crisis had been resolved.

She bowed deeply to the five divine beast clan leaders: "On behalf of Ao Ming, I thank you all for your great help!"

When she addressed them as "elders," the five clan leaders smiled and returned the greeting.

The White Tiger Clan Chief laughed and said, "The Four Divine Beasts are of the same blood and lineage, so the Little Dragon Emperor is like my son or nephew. Why be so polite among family?"

The Vermilion Bird Clan Chief also cupped his hands and asked, "I wonder what Immortal Jiang's plans are for the future?"

He volunteered, "Our Vermilion Bird Clan's territory is guarded by Heavenly Fire, preventing outsiders from entering. If Fairy Jiang and Little Dragon Emperor were to visit our Vermilion Bird Clan's territory, I guarantee Jiu Kui wouldn't be able to get in!"

The Xuanwu clan chief said slowly, "I, Guanjiang Fairy, am blessed with great fortune and have a connection with my Xuanwu clan. The little dragon emperor and I are both aquatic beings, so it is more appropriate for her to visit the Xuanwu clan's territory."

The Phoenix Clan Chief secretly rolled his eyes. What are you old guys up to? Do you think I don't know?

The Qilin clan chief smiled and said, "The Qilin and Phoenix clans have formed an alliance with Fairy Jiang, intending to dethrone Jiu Kui from the position of Demon Emperor and support the Little Dragon Emperor to ascend the throne. I wonder if the clan chiefs would be willing to join us?"

The three clan leaders, including Baihu, were taken aback. Was it really that direct?

The powerful demons were working quickly, calculating what benefits their clan could gain from this.

Jiang Li smiled and cupped her hands in greeting: "Ao Ming is still young. Even if he ascends to the throne of the Demon Emperor, he will need several elders to guide him. At that time, please do not refuse the position of Regent."

The clan leaders were overjoyed upon hearing this. The Dragon Emperor was still young, so having them act as regents would be tantamount to handing over all the affairs of the demon clan to them.

What's the difference between this and an uncrowned king?

As for how the cake will be divided, that will depend on everyone's methods at that time!

Several powerful demons had already begun plotting how to divide the territory, but at this moment they maintained a harmonious facade, and immediately cupped their hands in unison: "We are willing to form an alliance with Fairy Jiang!"

At this moment, the Phoenix Clan Chief frowned: "Where is the Nine-Tailed Fox? Why didn't it come?"

That day in the Demon Emperor's Palace, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan Chief clearly shared their hatred, so why didn't he appear today?

Baihu said, "They have Hu Xueji in their family, who has always served Jiu Kui. I guess they are afraid to harm her."

By openly defying the Demon Emperor, Hu Xueji's punishment will likely go far beyond simply accepting it.

The Qilin clan chief scoffed, "That old fox is a fence-sitter, betting on both sides without fear of pleasing neither!"

A new emperor brings a new court; when the time comes to make an example of someone, the first to be targeted will be the opportunist!

Zhuque smiled and said, "Then let's leave it at that. Everyone has their own ambitions."

Therefore, the White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird clans also presented their respective tokens, formed an alliance with Jiang Li, and vowed to support the young master and restore the glory of the divine beasts.

After Jiang Li accepted the token, the White Tiger Clan Chief asked first, "Now that we have formed an alliance, what is the next step? Jiu Kui is determined to have Fairy Jiang and the Little Dragon Emperor. If it weren't for the excuse that the young master needs to recuperate, he would probably have already mobilized a large army and is already at the valley's gates."

Jiang Li looked at the mist in the valley and smiled slightly: "I plan to stay in this Mist Spirit Valley for the time being. It is not advisable for us to formally break with the Demon Emperor yet. We will wait until Ao Ming wakes up before discussing anything else."

The Xuanwu Clan Chief wholeheartedly agreed: "Jiang Xianzi's move is excellent! 'The young master should rest quietly' is perfectly justified. Although the Demon Emperor is suspicious and distrustful, he would not dare to go against the reverence of all clans for the bloodline of the divine beast. This is a good opportunity to buy time."

The Vermilion Bird Clan Chief added, "Before the young master recovers, we can secretly contact clans that are dissatisfied with the Demon Emperor. He has been suppressing dissidents and withholding resources for many years, and many forces have long harbored resentment towards him. We can win them over by explaining the advantages and disadvantages."

The Phoenix Clan Chief pondered, "Jiu Kui commands the demon army and possesses the Demon-Suppressing Jade Seal, a symbol of the Demon Emperor's power. We cannot confront him head-on at present. We need to understand his plans, win over his trusted followers, and proceed cautiously step by step."

Jiang Li nodded and said, "Clan Chief Feng is absolutely right. I will stay here to take care of Ao Ming, lower his guard, and buy you all time to make your plans."

The Vermilion Bird Clan Chief said with concern, "In that case, I'm sorry to trouble Fairy Jiang. I will send a team of clansmen to guard outside the valley. If anything happens, we will come immediately."

The White Tiger Clan Chief also said, "Don't worry! I will order the White Tiger Clan to guard the valley entrance strictly to prevent Jiu Kui from sending troops again and disturbing Fairy Jiang and the young master."

Jiang Li was overjoyed upon hearing this, and she respectfully performed a grand salute of the demon race: "Thank you, elders, for your protection of me and Ao Ming!"

After discussing it carefully, the group decided to take turns sending members of their clan to guard the area, so that Jiu Kui would not have a chance to make a move before the young dragon woke up.

The Phoenix Clan Chief declared firmly, "Once the young master awakens and all forces have assembled, it will be time to settle scores with Jiu Kui!"

"it is good!"

The other four clan leaders echoed in unison, and a power struggle simmering beneath the surface began.

The five divine beast patriarchs took their leave, and the small courtyard returned to its tranquility.

With a thought, Jiang Li returned to the Dragon Palace.

Xie Chang'an pulled her into his arms: "Little fox, I'm so sorry to have troubled you."

He felt extremely guilty. It was the same in the lower realm, where she was always the one to rush to the front in everything. He never expected that it would still be the same after returning to the upper realm!

He thought that since he had become a Nascent Soul True Lord, he could protect his little fox spirit under his wings and shield her from the wind and rain. Unexpectedly, the old story repeated itself, and he still had to be the man behind her!

Jiang Li chuckled and said, "Brother Chang'an, you're too modest. Without you and Taixu, I wouldn't have the confidence to say that!"

He and Taixu were her secret weapons and solid support!

Taixu's eyes were filled with admiration and praise: "Little fairy, you are amazing!"

The Demon Emperor abducted her here, and in just two days, she formed an alliance with the five divine beasts, preparing to rebel against him!

She's only fifteen!

At such a young age, he is in no way inferior to those cunning and treacherous sect leaders in the cultivation world!

Once she grows up, she might be able to manipulate the entire Tianyan Realm at will!

Jiang Li said smugly, "I didn't know either. I'm so amazing. I'm incredibly smart!"

Xie Changan couldn't help but smile.

Although her memories of the lower realm were sealed by True Monarch Mingxuan, she was a soul transmigrated. Twenty years of tempering in the mortal world, the mud she had trod and the frost she had endured had long become part of her bones. How could she not be exceptionally intelligent?

The ruthless young girl before him was clearly Jiang Li, his wife of twenty years in the mortal realm!
