Chapter 323: How to Get Out Alive

In a dark forest within the Rootless Secret Realm, three men were gathered together.

The Sect uniforms they wore belonged to three different Sects from the Longming Continent.

However, despite supposedly being from the Longming Continent of the Myriad Laws World, the man in the center bore a thirty percent resemblance to She Qiqi.

The eyes of the other two men were even deeper, and within them, there was even a sense of resolve.

The Fourth Prince of the Demon Race World’s royal family—She Si.

A Jade Purity Realm Consecrated Expert of the Demon Race World—Pale.

An Immortal Realm Consecrated Expert of the Demon Race World’s imperial palace—Yu Qiong.

They had come to the Myriad Laws World, killed three Longming Continent Cultivators who were about to enter the Rootless Secret Realm, and taken their places.

They hadn’t come here for any Opportunity, but for a single person’s life.

The life of the Seventh Princess of the Demon Race World—She Qiqi!

“Does Your Majesty truly intend to take the Seventh Princess’s life?”

Sitting on a rock, Yu Qiong looked up at the sky and couldn’t help but sigh.

“The imperial decree has been issued; it cannot be false.” Pale shook his head. “One can only say that the Seventh Princess’s achievements have overshadowed her ruler.”

“Seventh Sister reaching this point isn’t entirely because her achievements overshadowed the ruler.”

She Si raised a wine flask, took a swig, and looked at the imperial decree in his hand.

This imperial decree came from a month ago.

A month ago was exactly the tenth day after She Qiqi had disappeared from the Demon Capital.

Many people knew about the Seventh Princess’s itinerary regarding her disappearance.

Many people were on edge every time the Seventh Princess went to the Myriad Laws World, yet they were helpless to do anything.

They were on edge because they knew the Seventh Princess had begun laying her plans in the Myriad Laws World long ago, and they were now maturing.

Not only in the Demon Race World, but even in the Myriad Laws World, the Seventh Princess had established a network of influence.

They didn’t know what kind of game she was playing, how far it had progressed, or if the trap she set would one day claim their own heads.

They were helpless because they simply had no way to stop the Seventh Princess.

The Seventh Princess’s schemes in the Myriad Laws World were originally aimed at the Myriad Laws World itself, giving her the moral high ground.

Unless there was an extremely valid reason, even the current Demon Emperor could not stop his daughter’s actions.

The Seventh Princess’s departure this time caused concern, but it didn’t cause much of a stir.

After all, it wasn’t the first time the Seventh Princess had gone to the Myriad Laws World.

But,

when the news of victory arrived from the Giant Country, everything changed.

The Giant Country had been conquered.

Lush Orchid of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, leading an army of eight hundred thousand demons, had crushed the Giant Country!

When the news spread throughout the Ten Thousand Demon Country, the commoners were in an uproar.

However, the name everyone cheered was not Lush Orchid’s, nor the current Demon Emperor’s, but the Seventh Princess’s.

Lush Orchid was hailed by the people as the Valkyrie.

But she was not the Demon Emperor’s Valkyrie; she was the Valkyrie under the Seventh Princess’s command.

“The head of the Giant Country’s ruler has been sent to the imperial palace! All those of royal blood have died in battle, leaving only the eldest princess. The entire Giant Country has surrendered. The eldest princess has stated that they will follow the Ten Thousand Demon Country’s lead from now on, and that the future rulers of the Giant Country wish to be invested by the Ten Thousand Demon Country.”

At that time, in the imperial court, when the armored Lush Orchid briefly reported the results of the battle, the court was so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

Perhaps at that moment, everyone wished it wasn’t true, hoping that what Lush Orchid reported was not a victory, but a plea for forgiveness after a defeat.

It sounded extremely ridiculous, but they truly hoped She Qiqi would be defeated, even if the outcome of the war affected their own country.

That day, the Demon Emperor shouted ‘Good!’ three times, appointed Lush Orchid as a High General, and bestowed upon her countless Spirit Stones and Spirit Medicines.

As Lush Orchid’s superior, the Seventh Princess naturally had to be rewarded as well.

However, the Demon Emperor discovered that the Seventh Princess had already reached a point where there were no more titles or rewards left to give her.

And it was on that very night that She Si was summoned to the imperial palace.

Together with She Si were two of the palace’s Consecrated Experts.

At that time, the Demon Emperor issued an imperial decree to the three of them:

“The Seventh Princess, She Qiqi, has met with disaster in the Myriad Laws World. Using the Heavenly Profound Orb, I have calculated that her remains are located in the Rootless Secret Realm. The three of you are ordered to bring her body back to the Demon Race World for a grand burial.”

Only then did the three of them realize that the Demon Emperor was truly going to take action against his own daughter.

“How did it come to this?”

Yu Qiong sighed again.

He actually thought very highly of She Qiqi.

Had She Qiqi not been a woman, and had the palace’s Consecrated Experts not been forbidden from taking sides…

…then the one he would have wanted to support for the position of Crown Prince would definitely have been She Qiqi!

“How could it not come to this? Ever since Consort Lin died, His Majesty has always been wary of the Seventh Princess.” Pale shook his head.

“If Auntie Lin hadn’t left, if Seventh Sister hadn’t seen that scene, perhaps everything would have been different.” She Si wiped his face. “But everything has been decided. Seventh Sister cannot leave the Rootless Secret Realm alive.”

“Heh, She Si, there’s no need for your hypocrisy. There’s no real affection between you siblings, only the matter of the throne. Didn’t the Demon Emperor send you here just to keep an eye on me?

Your fear of the Seventh Princess is not a bit less than that of your brothers.

Forget it, forget it.”

Yu Qiong stopped thinking about this troublesome matter.

“I promised the Demon Emperor three things. The first was to help him seize the position of Clan Chief of the Heavenly Frost White Clan. The second was to help him attack the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox Clan.

And this time is the third.

After killing the Seventh Princess, the debt of gratitude I owe will be fully repaid, and I will no longer stay in the Demon Capital.

As for who inherits the throne of the Ten Thousand Demon Country, you brothers can fight over it; it has nothing to do with me. However, how I act and how I kill She Qiqi is my business. I don’t need a brat like you telling me what to do.”

With those words, Yu Qiong flicked his sleeve and turned to leave.

Watching Yu Qiong depart, She Si narrowed his eyes but said nothing more.

“Hahaha, Your Highness the Fourth Prince, our acting skills are still not up to par.”

Pale patted the Fourth Prince on the back.

“There’s no need to say more, Senior Pale.” She Si smiled. “Senior Pale is the Crown Prince’s man, and Eldest Brother also wants Seventh Sister dead. At least for now, our goals are the same.”

“In that case, we should just cooperate well.” Pale simply smiled. “If we fail this time, the Fourth Prince knows what the consequences will be.”

“We won’t fail.”

She Si took out a white dharma orb.

Under the stimulation of spiritual power, the white dharma orb gradually dissipated.

At the very moment the white dharma orb completely vanished into the air, a crack appeared on the Life Pendants hanging at the waists of both She Si and Pale.

“Everyone says Seventh Sister predicts things like a god. This time, I want to see if she anticipated that her own father would finally move against her.

I’m even more curious: even if she truly calculated this far and still dared to enter the Rootless Secret Realm, how will she get out alive?”
