"Plop!"
E Potian knelt down without a care for his image. While desperately kowtowing to Sei Itō, he shamelessly begged for mercy in a loud voice.
"Your Majesty Devil Monarch, it was this lowly one who had eyes but failed to see and offended you. I beg you to let me go … From now on, I will no longer compete with You 'er for the position of Crown Prince. I am willing to serve under your command, and I will not lie about being an ox or a horse … so I beg you to spare my life on account that I am still You' er's brother …"
"How could this be …" Looking at E Potian's cowardly appearance, Qinger, who was about to save him, subconsciously stopped. Her face was full of disbelief as she muttered to herself.
Fortunately, E Potian was fully focused on begging for mercy at this time and did not hear Qinger's words. Coupled with the existence of the illusion, he only thought that he and Sei Itō were in the room.
Sei Itō looked up at Qinger, who was in a daze. With a light movement of his finger, he set up another layer of spatial isolation around her. Only then did he look at E Potian, who was kowtowing under the pressure of numerous stone darts. He sneered, "Only now do you remember that you are You 'er's brother? What were you doing earlier! "
"I know I was wrong. Potian swears that I will absolutely love You 'er in the future. I will never have the slightest intention to compete for the position or frame her. If I violate this oath, I will suffer the calamity of ten thousand arrows piercing through my heart. Your Majesty Devil King, please let me go." E Potian straightened up when he heard this. With an anxious expression, he swore an oath. Then, he kowtowed and begged for mercy.
"It's not impossible for me to let you go, but you have to do something for me." Sei Itō said casually with a smile that was not a smile.
"Please speak, Devil King. As long as Potian can do it, I will not refuse!" E Potian, who heard that there was hope for him to live, quickly straightened up. He looked expectantly at Sei Itō and hurriedly promised.
"It's very simple. I want you to help me get Qinger into bed." Sei Itō chuckled strangely.
"Shameless!" Qinger, who came back to her senses, cursed loudly with shame and anger.
However, Sei Itō had set up a spatial barrier in advance. Her voice didn't spread at all, only echoing in a radius of less than half a meter around her.
"This …" E Potian's face revealed a hint of hesitation.
Even though his feelings for Qinger were not real. There was a lot of exploitation involved, but it would be a lie to say that he didn't have any feelings for her. Therefore, he was very willing to personally send his woman to someone else's bed and let the enemy ravage her. Of course, when compared to his own life, this reluctance was immediately reduced by a lot.
"Hmm?" At this moment, seeing that E Potian did not immediately answer, Sei Itō pretended to be dissatisfied and let out a low groan full of cold intent. At the same time, the earth darts around E Potian's body moved slightly and moved closer to his body. It was about to pierce his body.
"Yes, yes. What does Your Majesty Devil King want Potian to do?" E Potian, whose body trembled and face became even paler, no longer hesitated and hurriedly replied.
With a flick of his finger, a powdery pill the size of a soybean was flicked to E Potian. "You just need to put this Goddess' Bliss Pill into the tea, bring it to Qinger, and watch her drink it. That's all," said Ito Sei calmly. "You just need to put this Goddess' Bliss Pill in the tea, bring it to Qinger, and watch her drink it.
"Yes." E Potian, who reached out to catch the Bliss Pill, happily replied.
"Bastard!" Qinger cursed loudly with a face full of anger. Her body immediately moved and rushed towards E Potian … However, she was immediately blocked by a soft, invisible wall. No matter how she punched it, she couldn't break it.
Sei Itō only glanced at Qinger, who was imprisoned in the isolated space, from the corner of his eyes. Then, he ignored her and pointed his finger forward again. A stream of light then entered E Potian's forehead under his horrified expression.
"You also saw the light just now. That's a kind of restriction. Don't try to play tricks or deceive me. If I find out that something is wrong with you, this Devil King will make you beg for death. " Sei Itō sneered.
"Yes, yes. Potian definitely wouldn't dare. From now on, Potian is Your Majesty Devil King's dog. I'll do whatever you want me to do." E Potian said with a fawning smile.
"Go do it. I look forward to your performance." Sei Itō waved his hand and scattered the earth darts floating around E Potian. He had a strange expression on his face as he said softly.
"Yes." E Potian, who finally felt a lot safer, lightly sighed and agreed. He quickly got up and walked out of the room.
Sei Itō smiled as he watched E Potian leave. He transmitted his voice to Qinger, whose face was filled with resentment. "Let's go. Let's see how your Potian performs."
Then, with a thought, he removed the Spatial Shackles around Qinger and set up a layer of illusion on himself. Then, he brought Qinger out of the room and followed behind E Potian. He watched how E Potian summoned the maidservant to bring over the so-called tonic and how he placed the Angel's Bliss Pill inside without hesitation. Finally, he carried the tonic with added ingredients to the front of Qinger's room …
"I'm going to kill him!" Qinger said coldly with a face full of killing intent.
Obviously, E Potian's current image and actions had already broken the bottom line that Qinger could tolerate, completely shattering his image and feelings in her heart. It had even caused Qinger's love to turn into hatred, and she wished she could kill him with her own hands to vent the extreme anger in her heart.
"I think it's better to make him live a life worse than death," Sei Itō said indifferently.
"You're right. Killing this kind of person is letting him off too easily." Qinger's eyes flashed slightly as she sneered.
Then, she took a step forward and left the range of Sei Itō's illusion. She suddenly appeared in the corridor.
"E Potian," Qinger called out coldly.
"Qinger? Why are you here? " E Potian asked in surprise. However, he didn't notice the change in Qinger's attitude toward him. He still walked forward with a gentle expression and handed the wooden bowl in his hand to Qinger. He said softly, "Qinger, this is the bird's nest that I asked the servants to carefully prepare. It has the effect of nourishing Qi and blood. Come, drink it while it's hot."
Qinger didn't say anything. She only looked at E Potian with a deep gaze.
"Qing, Qinger?" E Potian, who felt a little guilty under her gaze, called out carefully in a low voice.
"E Potian, you really disappoint me." Qinger spoke as if she was talking to a stranger. Her tone was emotionless.
"Qinger?" E Potian, who had a bad feeling in his heart, subconsciously called out. His expression changed slightly.
"I, Qinger, am really blind. I actually fell in love with a man like you! I even took out the sect's secret treasure, the Spirit Essence Pill, to save you. Now, let me take everything back! "Qinger suddenly changed the topic and shouted angrily in a cold voice.
After saying that, without waiting for E Potian's reaction, her left hand struck out with lightning claws and heavily hit E Potian's lower abdomen.
"Bang!"
"Ah!" E Potian, whose whole body was covered with lightning, immediately let out a miserable scream. Then, his body flew backward and fell heavily on the ground two to three meters away.
However, E Potian was a disciple of the Thunder and Lightning Sect after all. He also cultivated the fundamental technique of the Thunder and Lightning Sect – Limitless Lightning. Although he couldn't be compared to Qinger, who had inherited the entire Thunder and Lightning Sect's true teachings, his resistance to lightning was extraordinary. In just a short while, he got rid of the shackles of lightning. He struggled to get up and begged for mercy, "Qinger, Qinger, spare me …"
"Spare you, and then wait for you to find an opportunity to harm me?" Qinger, who was walking step by step toward E Potian whose dantian was injured, sneered.
"Qinger, I know I was wrong. I was possessed. I shouldn't have listened to the Devil Monarch's words to harm you. I won't dare to do it again. Qinger, for the sake of our past relationship, please spare me this time. "E Potian quickly turned over and knelt on the ground. He kowtowed and begged for mercy without any sense of shame.
"Coward!" Looking at E Potian like this, Qinger's expression became even angrier and she scolded loudly.
"Yes. I'm a coward. Qinger, please spare me. "E Potian kowtowed non-stop. He continued to beg for mercy.
At this moment, accompanied by two rapid sounds of breaking through the air. The red-haired old ancestor and the white-haired old ancestor appeared in the corridor.
"Sect Master?" The red-haired old ancestor and the white-haired old ancestor, who didn't understand the situation in front of them, called out in surprise.
"Red-haired old ancestor, white-haired old ancestor, I beg you to stop Qinger and save me." Seeing that he couldn't get through to Qinger, E Potian turned his head to look at the red-haired old ancestor and the white-haired old ancestor who had just arrived.
However, in the eyes of the two old ancestors, how could he, E Potian, compare to Qinger? Immediately, he ignored him and stood to the side silently. It seemed that he was ready to let Qinger do whatever she wanted.
Seeing that the foreign aid failed, E Potian could only kowtow to Qinger again and beg for mercy. "Qinger, please spare me."
What answered him was a high kick from Qinger.
"Boom!"
Thunder exploded. Under the impact of the qi, E Potian's body immediately fell backward, and then fell heavily to the ground. His head tilted and he fainted.
After completing this attack, Qinger still didn't speak. She slowly walked to the unconscious E Potian's side, lifted her leg, and the tip of her foot pierced his lower abdomen again like a sword.
"En …" Even in a coma, E Potian, whose lower abdomen was injured, still instinctively let out a painful groan.
"Master?" The red-haired old ancestor, who relied on his superb eyesight and perception of his fellow sect members' internal strength, almost instantly discovered that E Potian's internal strength had been crippled. He couldn't help but look at Qinger in surprise and called out softly.
He really couldn't understand what kind of mistake made the master, who was willing to take out the sect's unique secret medicine to save someone, to personally cripple the other party's martial arts that he had painstakingly recovered.
"This person offended his superiors and intended to harm me. According to the sect's rules, he should be killed! However, on account of his special status and his outstanding contributions to our sect for so many years, I've decided to only cripple his martial arts and expel him from the Thunder and Lightning Sect as an example. "Qinger explained in a serious manner.
"Damn it, how dare he treat the master like this. Crippling his martial arts is too easy for him." The red-haired old ancestor's face was immediately filled with anger, and he cursed angrily with thunder surging all over his body.
"Pack your things. We're going to find Prince You 'er." Qinger said lightly.
"Yes." The red-haired old ancestor and the white-haired old ancestor responded in unison and went back to the room to pack their things.
"Actually, you can be more ruthless." After the two old ancestors left, Sei Itō, who emerged from the void, said softly.
"Hmph." Although it was Sei Itō who helped her to see the true face of E Potian, a woman's mind had always been like this, complicated and difficult to understand. Therefore, unsurprisingly, Qinger didn't give him a good face.
In this regard, Sei Itō didn't care. He shrugged indifferently and smiled, "I'll go back to the You Xiang Pavilion first. If you think it through, come to me. My door here will always be open for you."
After speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared from the corridor.
Qinger, who didn't care whether Sei Itō had really left or not, didn't say anything. She just looked somewhat absent-mindedly at E Potian, whose martial arts had been crippled by her own hands. From then on, he could only be regarded as a cripple. She didn't say anything until the red-haired old ancestor and the white-haired old ancestor returned.
Then, Qinger came back to her senses and simply packed her things. Together with the red-haired old ancestor and the white-haired old ancestor, she left E Potian's Soaring Dragon Pavilion overnight and arrived at the You Xiang Pavilion opposite. Because she had received news of Sei Itō, E You 'er had been waiting in the hall for a long time. She cordially received them and prepared rooms for them to rest.
The next day, as expected, the news that E Potian's martial arts had been crippled once again spread. However, under the suppression of Sei Itō, the 'Retired Emperor', this matter ultimately became unknown. Other than the collapse of E Potian's power, which had just risen to prominence, there were no other changes. The entire Marquis' Estate of Southern Chu and the lands of Southern Chu were still as quiet as before.
However, this only lasted for three days. On the fifth day after Sei Itō entered the Marquis' Estate of Southern Chu, the news that the Demon race and Southern Chu had formed an alliance, and the news that the Demon Lord had taken E You 'er as his wife exploded. All of Southern Chu began to enter a state of war. A large number of soldiers were recruited and trained under the supervision of Southern Chu's generals in preparation for the upcoming great battle.
About a month later, with Sei Itō, the Demon Lord, at the helm, Southern Chu dispatched two hundred thousand soldiers, including slaves, and sixty thousand able-bodied soldiers from the Demon race. A total of two hundred and sixty thousand soldiers and horses, led by experts such as General Lei, General Scorpion, General Tie, General Soul-Hooking, General Huo, E You 'er, Qing' er, Ancestor Red Fur, and Ancestor White Fur, launched an attack on Chaoge in the north.
Along the way, the army was like a hot knife through butter. Excluding the time it took to march through Southern Chu's borders at the beginning, in a little more than a month's time, they broke through several passes in succession. It didn't seem like it would take long for them to reach the heart of Chaoge.
At the same time, the West did not show any weakness. With the Vermillion Bird and the brainwashed Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise as their generals, Misty City's one hundred thousand soldiers, they marched east. Together with the hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Western Qi who had been forced to mobilize because of their father, Ji Chang, a total of two hundred thousand soldiers were directed at Chaoge.
It could be said that under the combined attacks of the West and South, Chaoge was in imminent danger in just a little more than a month's time. It even looked like it was about to be breached by the army.
