Chapter 568: I’ve always wanted to go see it.

The convening of this meeting by Medicine King Valley and other forces left many feeling uneasy.

Because even a neutral force like Medicine King Valley was starting to act this way, it truly indicated that the situation was extremely dire!

Moreover, not long after the Medicine King Valley meeting was held, Tianji City also announced its participation.

On the mortal side, the current Empress of Qian Kingdom, Xia Xiaomeng, had already stepped into the Late Stage of the Jade Purity Realm. Rumors said she was only a step away from the Immortal Realm, just waiting for an opportunity.

Now that the great era had arrived, some even believed Xia Xiaomeng had already reached the Immortal Realm and was merely fishing.

She was waiting to see if anyone with ill intentions towards her would take the bait.

If it were confirmed that no one truly harbored ill intentions towards Xia Xiaomeng anymore,

then, finding it uninteresting, Xia Xiaomeng would directly step into the Immortal Realm.

In fact, there were indeed hardly any people left who dared to have ill intentions towards Xia Xiaomeng.

Xia Xiaomeng possessed an Emperor Immortal Physique; she was no ordinary Jade Purity Realm cultivator.

Ordinary Immortals were simply incapable of withstanding Xia Xiaomeng.

Therefore, Xia Xiaomeng had been safe from the very beginning, let alone a Xia Xiaomeng who could break through into the Immortal Realm at any time.

After Jiang Qingshang and the other Disciples left the Qian Kingdom palace, Xia Xiaomeng campaigned extensively across the Qianye Continent.

With Xia Xiaomeng overseeing it, the Qian Kingdom basically achieved great victories in every battle, with no particularly difficult wars to fight.

As the Qian Kingdom’s territory grew larger, its mountains, rivers, and national Luck grew increasingly strong.

Under the blessing of this landscape Luck, Xia Xiaomeng’s cultivation speed and strength also grew stronger and stronger.

By now, Xia Xiaomeng had nearly unified all the mortal Dynasties on the Qianye Continent.

In her plans, she even wanted to go and rule the Dynasties of other continents.

Unfortunately, the nine continents were simply too far apart.

Moreover, after the incidents involving the Desolate Domain and the Blood Demons, the goal of ruling over all the Dynasties of the Myriad Laws World became even more distant and uncertain.

Another three years passed.

Three years is a long time, but three years is also very short.

During these three years, the situation gradually stabilized.

However, although the world’s situation was temporarily stable, the current landscape had undergone an enormous change.

At the very beginning, some people thought the Desolate Domain was truly unstoppable, believing the entire world would fall before long.

But soon, many discovered they were wrong.

Initially, those from the Desolate Domain were indeed united in heart, supporting each other; there was no question about that.

But as those City Lords from the Desolate Domain gained larger and larger territories, they began to harbor other thoughts.

In their view, the agreement made back then had long been discarded and vanished without a trace.

These City Lords began to attack each other and stab each other in the back.

Of course, getting them to naturally turn on each other was certainly somewhat difficult.

But sowing discord, tempting and bewitching them with benefits—that was the simplest thing in the world.

When it came to schemes, plots, and understanding human hearts, those City Lords from the Desolate Domain seemed somewhat naive.

Thus, the Desolate Domain was now divided into many factions.

Similarly, the Myriad Laws World was originally an alliance, but over these three years, it too had split into many factions.

Factions from the Desolate Domain colluded with Sects from the Myriad Laws World.

Factions from the Desolate Domain colluded with the vassal states on the borders of the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

They even colluded with the Outer Heaven Demon Clan.

It had only been three years.

Three years ago, many were united against a common enemy.

Now, however, every side was colluding with others.

What distinctions remained now between the Myriad Laws World, the Demon Race World, the Outer Heaven Demon Clan, and the Desolate Domain?

There were only alliances with different interests.

However, this brings us to the Outer Heaven Demon Clan and the Ten Thousand Demon Country.

No matter how the current situation changed,

from beginning to end, the Demon Race World and the Outer Heaven Demon Clan had never experienced internal strife.

At most, they formed alliances with others.

Nine continents, nine Holy Lands. Although the original alliances still existed on paper, looking at them now, they were nothing more than scraps of paper.

Many Holy Lands had already cooperated with those City Lords from the Desolate Domain.

As for the reason,

it was simple.

This was now an era of chaos, the arrival of a great era.

Faced with an opportunity that might not come again for who knows how long, who didn’t want to become the Dominator of this world? Who truly wanted ‘everyone to be good, talk nicely, and avoid fighting’?

There were simply too many factions now.

It was like feudal lords carving up territory, with conflict raging across the world.

But if one had to name the most powerful feudal lords,

without detailing first or second place,

the top five were: the alliance of the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Dragon Lord of the Desolate Domain, and the snow spirit clan of the Hassan Extreme Cold Continent; the alliance of the Zilin Holy Land, Tianji City, Medicine King Valley, and other forces; the alliance of the Ten Thousand Demon Country and the Ice Phoenix Queen of the Desolate Domain; the alliance of the Blood Demon Clan and the Blood Bird City Lord of the Desolate Domain; and the alliance of the Myriad Sword Continent and the Confucian Academy.

Of course, these alliances were not set in stone.

For example, Lin Xun and Jiang Qingshang were husband and wife. Jiang Qingshang was the Saintess of the Zilin Holy Land, while the mastermind behind the Heavenly Demon Sect alliance was primarily Lin Xun.

Therefore, it was highly likely the two would ally.

However, very few people knew about this. Most believed Jiang Qingshang and Lin Xun were like fire and water, incompatible.

But if one had to say, then Chu Yaoyao of the Ten Thousand Demon Country was also effectively Lin Xun’s person.

‘Qingshang, tomorrow, I plan to return to the Heavenly Demon Sect for a while.’

That night, at Saintess Peak, Lin Xun said to Jiang Qingshang.

‘Return?’

Jiang Qingshang’s eyes blinked lightly.

‘Has Husband encountered something?’

‘Today, a letter came from the Heavenly Demon Sect. According to scouts’ reports, the Outer Heaven Demon Clan is planning to attack one of the Sect’s locations. I need to go check it out.’

‘Also, my Junior Sister told me that the Dragon Lord from the Desolate Domain wants to see me. It’s true, in these three years, I’ve only met her once. She has an alliance with the Heavenly Demon Sect.’

‘If I continue to leave her hanging like this, it’s really not very good.’

‘Moreover, during this trip back, I also need to go and establish some formal agreements with her.’

‘In my estimation, after the most intense turmoil of the past three years, all sides will stabilize for a few years, but soon, they will act again.’

‘When that time comes, it will be a true great war. I’m afraid very few in the world will be able to avoid it.’

‘I see…’

Listening to her husband’s words, Jiang Qingshang’s eyes shifted thoughtfully.

‘In that case, then I shall return with Husband.’

‘Huh?’

Lin Xun was taken aback.

‘Qingshang, you want to come back to the Heavenly Demon Sect with me?’

‘Yes.’

Jiang Qingshang smiled, her eyes curving.

‘After all, it’s the place where you grew up, Husband. I’ve always wanted to go see it. (If I don’t go back with you this time, who knows if some vixen will stop you, and you won’t even be able to come back!)’
