"Who told you to act just now?" Looking at Feng Shaoyu's departing figure, Shangguan Xi'er angrily glared at the shadow.
The shadow hesitated, emanating a chilling aura, and coldly said, "Shangguan Xi'er, Feng Shaoyu killed my Demon Tribe people and destroyed the reincarnation altar we set up at the Ji family. Shouldn't you be questioning Feng Shaoyu?"
"What? The reincarnation altar was destroyed?" Hearing this, Shangguan Xi'er was shocked. She was present when the reincarnation altar was set up and knew its purpose well. No wonder the Demon Tribe was so furious.
"Even if the reincarnation altar was destroyed, you shouldn't have acted today. Now that Feng Shaoyu has left in anger, do you really want my Piao Miao Palace and the Xuanyuan Empire to go to war?"
"Shangguan Xi'er, I've told you before, Feng Shaoyu is an ungrateful wolf. Even if the Xuanyuan Empire wants to act, so what? With our tribe's strong warriors, destroying the Xuanyuan Empire is just too easy," the shadow sneered.
"Insolence!" Shangguan Xi'er was furious, squinting her eyes and said coldly, "Do you know who you are speaking to? Without me, how would your Demon Tribe have the status you have today?"
"Shangguan Xi'er, let me tell you, although you have done great favors for my Demon Tribe, you've also benefited a lot. Without my Demon Tribe, would your Piao Miao Palace be what it is today? We are partners, not master and servant."
With a cold snort, the shadow turned and left.
"Bastard!" Shangguan Xi'er cursed in anger, her chest heaving with fury, showing her inner rage and a cold glint in her eyes.
Without saying more, she turned and descended towards the Ji family's ancestral land.
"Hmph, humans, if it weren't for your utility, why would I even bother with you?" The shadow appeared, staring at Shangguan Xi'er's back with a cold glint.
As Shangguan Xi'er landed in the Ji family ancestral land, Jiu Yi Mo Jun and Ji Daoyuan and others hurried to greet her respectfully, "Greetings, Empress!"
"Rise."
Looking at the virtually ruined Ji family ancestral land, Shangguan Xi'er felt a hint of anger.
This time, Piao Miao Palace suffered too much.
"Where are Ji Dewei and the others?" She frowned and asked.
"Returning to the Empress, the elders have not yet returned; they should still be on the way," Ji Daoyuan replied through gritted teeth, anger in his voice, "Empress, our Ji family has suffered greatly this time. Please avenge us and destroy the Xuanyuan Empire."
"Yes, destroy the Xuanyuan Empire."
"Please, Empress, order us to come forth and lead the Law Enforcement Hall to annihilate the Xuanyuan Empire."
Many Ji family experts spoke angrily, their hatred soaring, chilling to the core.
Shangguan Xi'er felt overwhelmed. If she agreed to the Ji family's request, there would be no room for reconciliation with the Xuanyuan Empire, and the hatred under her command might become uncontrollable for her and Feng Shaoyu.
"This matter, I will decide. What you need to do now is regroup. Now that the Mo family is destroyed, Chuzhou, where the Mo family was located, is temporarily yours. Gather Chuzhou quickly, without error."
Shangguan Xi'er tasked the Ji family with the crucial task of regrouping and regaining strength, also entrusting them with the Mo family's territory.
Ji Daoyuan and the others complied, but the anger on their faces did not diminish, showing deep dissatisfaction.
Shangguan Xi'er knew she must quickly restrain the conflict between Piao Miao Palace and the Xuanyuan Empire. After arranging matters with the Ji family, she left immediately.
The shadow, after advising Jiu Yi Mo Jun and others to continue regaining strength, also followed Shangguan Xi'er away.
Moments later, the Ji family's ancestral land quieted down.
Not long after Shangguan Xi'er and the others left, several streaks of light flew into the depths of the Ji family's ancestral land.
"Chen Shao!"
"Great Elder!"
Ji Daoyuan and others hurriedly greeted the arrivals, who were precisely Qin Chen and Ji Dewei.
Actually, they had returned to the Ji family ancestral land a day earlier but deliberately didn’t appear, instead hiding in the depths of the place and observing from afar.
