Chen Sisi held in her hands the battle reports from the Martial Domain over the past few days, including news about the major forces' campaign against Piao Miao Palace. Each word was as piercing as blood. The coalition of major forces actually retreated directly? Not even a single effective battle took place, and this campaign only added to the reputation of Piao Miao Palace, like a yaksha descending to the world, inspiring fear in everyone, while the coalition became a laughingstock.
This left Chen Sisi in disbelief, her body chilled, making her scalp tingle. "Now you know why our sect did not agree to your attack on Piao Miao Palace, right?"
A cold voice echoed in the cavern, and a black figure appeared out of nowhere, coldly watching Chen Sisi, surrounded by countless vengeful spirits, who, out of fear, dared not approach her.
It was the leader of the Demon Sect.
At this moment, a mocking smile shone in her eyes, obscured by a sheer veil, yet the sarcasm was undeniable—whether mocking Chen Sisi or the so-called major forces. "Why?" Chen Sisi looked up, her eyes confused.
"Because currently, a third of the Martial Domain is almost secretly controlled by Piao Miao Palace," the leader of the Demon Sect said coldly, her tone filled with unspeakable meaning.
"A third controlled by Piao Miao Palace, how is that possible?" Chen Sisi was shocked.
"What's impossible about it? So, if you want to destroy Piao Miao Palace and avenge your beloved, with your current strength, you are still far from it," the leader of the Demon Sect scoffed.
"If a third of the Martial Domain is controlled by Piao Miao Palace, why has no one ever mentioned it, and why do the major forces not know? How could you, Sect Leader..." Chen Sisi suddenly looked up, doubtfully gazing at the leader of the Demon Sect.
"Why would I know?" The leader of the Demon Sect smiled, but the smile was icy, cold enough to freeze. "Because under heaven, if you ask who knows Shangguan Xi'er the best, our sect would definitely rank in the top three. Therefore, many events in the Martial Domain over the years, though seemingly unrelated to Piao Miao Palace, I know many were actually orchestrated by Shangguan Xi'er."
"For instance, the disappearance of the Bloodline Sacred Ground's president, Fu Qiankun, back then should have been caused by Shangguan Xi'er. This easily explains why the Bloodline Sacred Ground was the first to retreat this time."
Chen Sisi was completely stunned; the incident of the Bloodline Sacred Ground's president disappearing two hundred years ago was actually related to Shangguan Xi'er? This... was a shocking revelation!
"But two hundred years ago, the Bloodline Sacred Ground was still the number one power on the continent, and the strength of President Fu Qiankun was said to overshadow the universe. How could Piao Miao Palace make Fu Qiankun disappear?" Chen Sisi found it hard to believe, her heart racing, palms sweating.
"With just Shangguan Xi'er back then, naturally, she couldn't do it. But if you add the Demon Tribe and an insider from the Bloodline Sacred Ground, it might not be impossible."
"You also think that Piao Miao Palace colludes with the Demon Tribe?" Chen Sisi shot up, staring intently at the leader of the Demon Sect.
The leader of the Demon Sect sneered, "It's not that I think so; it's a fact. That's why our sect did not join this farce. Right now, Piao Miao Palace is too lazy to target our sect, but if we step forward, perhaps the good days of our Demon Sect will come to an end. This is also why I am stopping you. Concealing our strength and nurturing our ambitions is what we need to do now."
Two sharp cold lights shot from her eyes, as if they could tear through the void.
"Well, after saying so much, I hope you can focus on your closed-door training here. You have managed to last this long while keeping such a clear mind; I indeed did not misjudge you."
With a wave of her hand, a storage ring appeared in front of Chen Sisi.
"There are resources here for your cultivation. What you need to do now is to break through to the Martial God realm as soon as possible. Trust me, this Demon Abyss Stone Cave will be your blessed land."
