Sei Itō and Nuwa, who was sitting on a carriage pulled by a celestial deer, stood facing each other in an endless space filled with colorful clouds.
This was the illusory space of the Celestial Crystal. The moment E You'er left, the Celestial Crystal Unit that Sei Itō kept in his pocket suddenly released a strange power, pulling a trace of Sei Itō's consciousness in.
"Long time no see, Your Majesty." Sei Itō smiled.
"Why are you doing this?" Nuwa asked with a dignified expression.
"For you." Sei Itō looked deeply at Nuwa on the carriage.
Nuwa frowned, her expression not looking too good.
"Before answering this question, I want to know, Your Majesty, have you thought it through?" Sei Itō asked with a smile.
"Your current actions make me feel very uneasy." Nuwa said indifferently. In other words, she hadn't thought it through, or she had originally thought it through, but changed her mind because of Sei Itō's actions.
"You can rest assured about this. I won't do anything excessive to those mortals. I'll even give them a new life that's far better than what they have now. After all, to me, their existence is very necessary. "Sei Itō shrugged.
Nuwa didn't say anything, but from her general feeling, she should be suspicious of Sei Itō's words.
"Alright, let's get back to the topic." Sei Itō sighed with a helpless expression. "Like I said before, everything I'm doing now is for you, so that you won't be restricted by this world and can travel the world with me. That's why I need to obtain control of this world."
"Although your existence and thoughts can save me a lot of trouble, it's still not enough. I still need to obtain control of this world's mortals! If possible, I'll even go one step further and obtain the authority of the Celestial Emperor. I'll become the monarch of all living things in this world! Only then will I have the qualifications to communicate with the primordial spirits of this world and obtain control. Then, I'll use my secret technique to turn this world into a paradise without harming anyone, freeing you to a certain extent. "
After hearing Sei Itō's explanation, Nuwa was silent for a moment before speaking, "But your actions have already disrupted the operation of this world's Heavenly Dao."
"Have you forgotten my identity? I'm an Otherworldly Demon. I don't mess up the operation of the Heavenly Dao. How can I show my value? "Ito Mori joked with an indifferent look.
Nuwa remained silent for a short while before she spoke again, "… You should know better."
Sei Itō didn't to speak to to to Nuwa.
In the next moment, the Crystal Crystal, the Crystal Crystal Crystal Crystal.... The surrounding environment quickly distorted, kicking Itosei's mind and consciousness out of the illusory space inside the crystal.
"Phew, she shouldn't have a change of heart this time, right? Otherwise, without the approval of the consciousness she represents, the process of devouring the world will be much slower. "In the real world, Sei Itō slowly opened his eyes and let out a long sigh.
Then, after about a quarter of an hour, E You 'er's figure reappeared in the room with light footsteps.
"I've already spoken to that E Potian of mine. Today, he'll come to my place for a banquet. With his guard against me, he'll definitely bring the Wind, Thunder, Rain, and Lightning Protectors of the Thunder and Lightning Sect. We'll be able to catch them all in one fell swoop. "E You 'er walked to Sei Itō and sat down on her knees.
Sei Itō nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"But no matter what, that E Potian is my older brother. If possible, you only need to cripple his martial arts. There's no need to take his life. "After a pause, E You 'er said with a frown.
"This isn't like the E You 'er I know. When did you learn to be merciful?" Sei Itō looked at E You' er in astonishment. It must be known that in the original work, in order to eliminate Ji Fa and the others who had penetrated deep into the Thousand Li Swamp, she was a ruthless character who had used the lives of more than a hundred soldiers as a trap without any hesitation or guilt. Unexpectedly, she now wanted to let E Potian go. It seemed that E You 'er's heart was extremely ruthless. At least, she still cared about family affection.
"Hmph. Although E Potian is annoying, in the end, he is still a member of my clan. Moreover, the operation this time is in my residence. If he really dies here, then I will definitely kill him. If he dies here, even if the disguise is successful, it will still cause people to have wild and fanciful thoughts. It will be greatly detrimental to me taking over the title of Marquis of Southern Chu! Moreover, what can a cripple without martial arts do? "Hearing Sei Itō's words, E You 'er coldly snorted with a very displeased expression.
"Not bad, you can still be considered calm," Sei Itō said with a chuckle.
Just as E You 'er said, E Potian was the heir apparent of the Marquis of Southern Chu, her older brother. They could compete and plot against each other, but a direct attack from above should be avoided if possible. After all, even if this kind of thing was successful in the end, it would leave behind a bad impression in the hearts of the lower-class people and the Marquis of Southern Chu, E Chongyu. Although it would not necessarily affect her taking over the title, some rumors and slanders were inevitable.
On the contrary, if she only killed E Potian's bodyguard and crippled his martial arts, although she would still be considered ruthless after the event, the nature of the matter would be very different. At the very least, she would not have the infamy of killing her brother, making it easier for people to accept her.
"Also, remember to disguise yourself when you attack. It's best if you can make everyone mistakenly think that you're an assassin, that you just so happened to run into us and injure E Potian in passing," E You 'er continued.
Clearly, she wanted to draw a clear line between them.
"Very well, we'll do as you say," Sei Itō said indifferently.
Having received a reply, E You 'er nodded, got up, and walked out of the room.
"If there's a chance, I'll eliminate you as well …" A cold light flashed in E You 'er's eyes as she walked out of the room.
… …
Unknowingly, time passed in the blink of an eye. It was around five o 'clock in the afternoon.
"Princess, the heir has arrived." At this moment, a maidservant dressed in silk walked into the You Xiang Pavilion and reported to E You 'er, who was nestled in the bosom of a leopard.
"He's come … Take them to the front hall first. I'll be there in a moment," E You 'er ordered with narrowed eyes.
"Yes," the maidservant respectfully replied and withdrew from the room.
"I hope everything goes smoothly," After the maidservant left, E You 'er said in a low voice as she stood up from the leopard's bosom. Then, with a shocked expression, she said to the giant beside her, "Senior Martial Brother, let's go."
"Okay," the giant replied in a muffled voice.
Then, he stood up and walked out of the You Xiang Pavilion with E You 'er.
To be honest, E You 'er didn't want to be so ruthless, but there was no other way. Because of the influence of Sei Itō, this big butterfly, General Lightning, General Gou, General Tie, and General Huo, the four people who should have been under her command in the original work, had directly disappeared, causing her power to greatly weaken. Although she had a talented Senior Martial Brother, Human King, who could fight against two or three experts, she was still much weaker than E Potian on the surface. If she didn't have the support of her mother, Xuan Ji, behind her, it wasn't impossible for her to be suppressed by E Potian's power!
In addition, because of Sei Itō's influence, Ji Fa didn't flee to the south, King Zhou didn't issue a decree to capture rebels, and E You 'er and E Potian also lost the opportunity to obtain the position of heir through merit. If this made E You' er a little irritated recently, she really wouldn't necessarily agree to Sei Itō's proposal!
After all, for E You 'er. This great expert who delivered himself to her door was really a little too strange.
A moment later, E You 'er and the Human King walked into the main hall that faced the entrance of the You Xiang Pavilion.
The figures of four men and one woman immediately entered E You 'er and the Human King's eyes. Among them, there was a tall and sturdy man with a square face, chiseled facial features, a black mole at the corner of his left eye, a golden helmet on his head, and an embroidered robe on his body. The young man with an expression full of arrogance was the most eye-catching. As for the remaining four people, although their expressions were also very unruly, their bodies were filled with the fierce aura of Jianghu, without the slightest air of nobility. They were clearly ordinary Jianghu people, but they had the qualifications to sit here, so it was very obvious. These four people were none other than E Potian's four great bodyguards, the four great protectors of Wind, Thunder, Rain, and Lightning from the southwest's Thunder and Lightning Sect!
Inferring from this, that conspicuous young man was the heir of the Marquis of Southern Chu. E You 'er's nominal older brother, E Potian, was without a doubt!
"My apologies for making Elder Brother wait so long." Sure enough, in the next moment, E You 'er, who had sat down across from the young man, apologized. However, the expression on her face and the tone of her voice did not have the slightest intention of apologizing.
"It's no matter. Younger Sister is busy and has too many trivial matters. This Elder Brother understands." E Potian said with a sarcastic sneer.
"That's right. Younger Sister indeed has too many trivial matters, but can't compare to Elder Brother Potian's accumulated major matters." E You 'er also said sarcastically.
In the present moment, without the existence of Ji Fa, this traitor, how could the two of them have any 'major matters' or 'trivial matters'? She was simply using words to squeeze him.
Then, E You 'er did not give E Potian and the others any chance to speak. She turned her head and said loudly to the outside, "Come, serve the banquet!"
"Yes." The maid waiting respectfully outside the room responded.
"It's rare for Younger Sister You 'er to be so considerate, to actually think of inviting me to a banquet." E Potian said indifferently.
"Not at all. It's just that Younger Sister has recently faintly felt that the estrangement between Elder Brother Potian and me has gradually deepened. Seeing that we're about to become like fire and water, I want to have a good chat with Elder Brother Potian and see if there's any misunderstanding between us." E You 'er said with a fake smile.
"Ha ~" E Potian, who also did not believe E You 'er's words, immediately let out a cold laugh after she finished speaking. Then he said coldly, "You' er, between you and me, there's no need to resort to insinuations. Don't make these false and fake things. Just directly state the matter."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall, which had not been very auspicious to begin with, immediately became heavy. A faint atmosphere of tension filled the air … …
At the same time, on the other side, in a large hall in the main hall of the Marquis of Southern Chu's estate.
"Madam, may I ask why you called me here?" E Chongyu, the Marquis of Southern Chu, asked Xuan Ji, who was sitting to the side. He was dressed in a yellow brocade robe with a vertical crown on his head. His face was thin and his skin was dark.
"Can't I call you here for no reason?" Xuan Ji asked with a frown.
"That's not it." E Chongyu seemed somewhat cowardly as he shook his head. "I just didn't think that Madam would take the initiative to call me. I feel somewhat surprised."
"Hmph." Xuan Ji snorted coldly but did not say anything.
E Chongyu tactfully did not disturb her. He silently walked to the side and sat down. At the same time, the maidservants who had already prepared wine and food tactfully placed the items one by one on the side.
"Madam, come and eat," E Chongyu called out after everything had been placed.
Xuan Ji did not say anything. She got up and walked to another low table to sit down.
"That's right, Madam, why don't I see You 'er?" E Chongyu asked again.
"She has some matters to discuss with Potian. She should be at Potian's place right now," Xuan Ji said indifferently. At the same time, she changed the location of the meeting to E Potian's estate.
"Ah? You 'er has matters to discuss with Potian? "E Chongyu said in surprise.
Although he was cowardly, wretched, and somewhat sinister, he was not stupid. He could naturally see that his two children were absolutely at odds with each other. How could they be together again? It was no wonder he was surprised.
"Do you think I'd lie to you?" Xuan Ji said unhappily.
"No, no, I'm just surprised. Could it be that they've made up?" E Chongyu thought foolishly.
"Ha ~" Xuan Ji sneered but did not speak. Then she picked up her chopsticks and began to eat the food in front of her.
E Chongyu's eyes flashed as he asked for a snub. He also picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.
For a moment, the entire hall fell silent. Only the sound of chopsticks and cauldrons and the almost imperceptible sound of chewing could be heard faintly in the hall.
"Ah!" But at that moment, a female scream filled with terror rang out from outside the hall.
"Assassin!"
Immediately after, a black shadow flashed. A figure dressed in black clothes and black pants, with a black turban on his head and a black veil covering his face, appeared in the hall. Only a pair of white hands and eyes as deep as the night sky were exposed.
"Who is it?!" Xuan Ji's expression changed as she shouted harshly.
The black shadow did not speak. He rushed in front of E Chongyu and stretched out his hand. Carrying a majestic wave of Qi, he slammed it towards E Chongyu.
"Ah!" E Chongyu screamed in panic. He fiercely circulated the attack in his body and raised his hand to meet the attack.
Bang!
In an instant, intense Yuan Qi erupted from between the two of them. Like a powerful shockwave, the items placed on the short table between the two of them were blown away.
Following that, E Chongyu let out a muffled groan as he was sent flying backward with a pale face.
"Marquis!" Xuan Ji's expression changed greatly.
Although she looked down on E Chongyu, in the end, E Chongyu was still her man in name. He was the Marquis of Southern Chu, the foundation of her control over Southern Chu. Before E You 'er grew up, she could not let him die! Thus, Xuan Ji immediately shouted and used the Tianmu Sect's Celestial Immortal Perplexing Steps to float to the black-clothed man's side. Her hands became palm shadows that filled the sky, attacking the black-clothed man's vital points.
