But if the Fengyue Demon Emperor wants to manipulate him with this, then he can only say "get lost". Xiao Lan paused for a moment and quickly said, [Then you wait here, I’ll go back and tell her right away.] Before Chen Yi could nod, she hurriedly disappeared into the Xunwang Order, evidently to find the Fengyue Demon Emperor. Chen Yi couldn’t help but smile and turned his head to look at Sword Obsession and Qing Feng, saying, [It seems our Xunwang Heaven will soon be known throughout the Demon Court.] Originally, when Xiao Lan’s relationship with the Fengyue Demon Emperor hadn’t improved, she was solely focused on escaping the Demon Court, so she could cautiously conceal the location of the Xunwang Order. But ever since Chen Yi told her about Zhou Guanwu’s matters, and after the previous existence of the Barbarian Emperor, the Fengyue Demon Emperor became aware of Xunwang Heaven’s existence. Although the Fengyue Demon Emperor isn’t clear on the exact name at this moment, estimating based on Chen Yi’s understanding of Xiao Lan, it wouldn’t be long before she truthfully informs the Fengyue Demon Emperor. Qing Feng said indifferently, [It doesn’t matter if they know, with our two senior brothers around, Xunwang Heaven won’t fall.] Chen Yi thought, that’s right, with Daoist Zhao Muzi’s cultivation as a "Transcender", there are only a few people on the entire Taizhou Mountain who could pressure him. The Fengyue Demon Emperor is the same. Though the Demon Court seems to be at war with the Human Race, putting the Demon Court among the realms of Taizhou Mountain seems to make them a small, insignificant force. Xunwang Heaven, with Daoist Zhao Muzi overseeing, doesn’t even need mention; just the Sword Dao Mountain, where Sword Obsession joined, could probably annihilate the Demon Court. Xiao Lan reappeared in the Deep Blue Water Mirror, her small mouth slightly open, saying: [Mother still hasn’t fully agreed, but she relented a bit. She said building a passage under the Human Race’s control is acceptable, but it can’t be too wide or too long, and it needs to be constructed in a secret location.] Chen Yi smiled, [Is she asking my Human Race to build an underground passage? Or is she planning that after gaining control of the Taizhou Mountain Demon Court, she’ll use that passage to invade the strong city of the Human Race?] A narrow passage is no issue, but the Fengyue Demon Emperor’s intention clearly isn’t about the passage itself. She’s likely trying to avoid exposing her dealings with the Human Race, using this to silence most demons. But she doesn’t consider that once something’s done, it’s done. Otherwise, why was the Barbarian Emperor defeated? With the support of the Taizhou Mountain Demon Court and the legacy of the Ancient Demon Court, what’s the Fengyue Demon Emperor got to contend with it? Therefore, Chen Yi naturally wouldn’t agree to the Fengyue Demon Emperor’s shameless behavior. [Then I’ll go ask again...] Seeing Xiao Lan disappearing once more, Qing Feng and Sword Obsession exchanged glances and both looked at Chen Yi. [Brother Yi, wouldn’t this put Xiao Lan in a difficult position?] [Even as an outsider, I can’t stand it. Poor Xiao Lan.] Chen Yi glanced at them without speaking. The deal between him and the Fengyue Demon Emperor concerns the interests of the Human Race and the Demon Court, how could it be taken lightly? Even though this deal is made in private, it will eventually be known by the Human Race. If any terms harmful to the Human Race emerge, Chen Yi would be the one blamed the most. Probably akin to the Fengyue Demon Emperor worrying about other demons’ reactions upon knowing she relied on the Human Race to defeat the Barbarian Queen. To be blunt—like being "stinky in the streets". Chen Yi certainly doesn’t want to become such a person within the Human Race because of this deal; he also has his pride. Therefore, it’s better for the Fengyue Demon Emperor to bear such infamy. When Xiao Lan returned with a face of trepidation, she hesitantly said: [My mother asked me to tell you three things exactly as they are.] Chen Yi smiled and said, [Let’s hear them.] Xiao Lan said, [The first is, she agrees to all your conditions, but you must help her defeat the Barbarian Emperor, or all deals are off.] Chen Yi nodded, [That can be done.] [The second, the second my mother wants me to curse you... cunning, scoundrel...]
