The Venerable of Numinous Treasure had left Ye Zichen's phone with the old Demon Emperor and the Red Demons' contact information.
In his words, it was useless to him. If he was worried about not being able to contact Ye Zichen, he could just give him a new phone.
The Venerable of Numinous Treasure left Ye Zichen's phone.
Ye Zichen glanced at the Red Demons' chat window, thought for a moment, then decided against sending them a message.
It seemed that the two of them were quite busy at this time!
The demons.
Kui Lin, who'd used a blood explosion to escape the Emperors' encirclement, sat atop an ancient tree in his half-soul form. His eyes were closed, and demonic energy surrounded his soul. Around him, a new body was constantly being formed.
Logically speaking, it was impossible to form a new body so quickly after using a blood explosion.
Kui Lin hadn't mastered any secret techniques, so he was using his own cultivation as fuel. He was using his own true essence to form a new body.
"I never would have guessed the Emperor Star had such an expert by his side," muttered Kui Lin. He'd used up so much true essence that his face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and his cultivation had dropped significantly. However, he had no other choice. The demons weren't united. Even though he'd been the Demon Emperor for tens of thousands of years, there were still quite a few old fogies who regarded the old Demon Emperor as their leader.
They believed that the old Demon Emperor had fallen.
Ever since Kui Lin's ascension to the throne, those old fogies had never obeyed his orders. In private, they frequently fought with him.
If he returned to the clan in his soul form, those old fogies might just kill him right in front of him. Kui Lin had to form a new body. Even if those old fogies sensed that his aura was weak, they'd be wary of him.
Using up true essence would cause his cultivation to drop drastically, but for his life, it was worth it!
As for the losses he'd suffered at Ye Zichen's hands, so long as he was alive, he'd get his revenge!
Kui Lin swallowed a few more pills, and his aura stabilized.
"Your Excellency."
Suddenly, two experts with powerful auras appeared outside the ancient tree. Kui Lin scanned them with his divine sense. After confirming they were his trusted aides, he stepped out of the forest.
When they saw Kui Lin's expression, they hurriedly went to greet him.
"Your Excellency, you …."
"Just some minor injuries. It's no big deal!" Kui Lin waved his hand. "Did anything happen in the clan? Did those old fogeys do anything excessive while I was gone?"
They were imperial lords as well, and Kui Lin had left them in the demon territory to keep an eye on the old fellows. Unexpectedly, as soon as Kui Lin finished speaking, the two experts fell silent. The bitterness in their eyes was obvious.
"What happened?"
Kui Lin's expression was solemn. The old fellows in the clan were all very slippery. Even though he hadn't been around recently, and many of his elite subordinates had been mobilized, the old fellows weren't likely to start a civil war for the sake of the demons.
Could it be that the Gu family had come knocking?
It couldn't be that fast, right?
"Tell me, what exactly happened in the clan?" Kui Lin was impatient. The two Imperial Lords gritted their teeth and muttered, "The old Demon Emperor is back!"
"What?!"
Kui Lin's pupils constricted. The two Imperial Lords' expressions darkened.
"The Old Demon Emperor suddenly returned to the Demon Race three days ago, and those who were loyal to the Old Demon Emperor once again pushed the Old Demon Emperor to the position of Demon Emperor. As for you... although our people strongly opposed it, the Old Demon Emperor's prestige is too great.
"Get to the point!"
"You've been dethroned!"
… …
… …
… …
Early morning.
Ye Zichen sat cross-legged in his courtyard, wearing the Five Elements Crown on his head. At this moment, his body was completely surrounded by the five elements. After a total of 72 great circulations, he opened his eyes, exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and shook his head lightly. Even with the Five Elements Crown's support, the elemental essence here was still far too sparse compared to where the five elemental spirits resided.
。
"Is it over?"
Xiao Yumei handed him a wet towel with a smile. Ye Zichen accepted it and wiped his face, then placed the towel on the armrest of the pavilion and held Xiao Yumei's hand gently.
"Why didn't you call me?"
"I just got here," said Xiao Yumei with a smile. She took out her phone and handed it to Ye Zichen. "I just got the news. Take a look …."
Thanks to Ye Zichen, the great emperors had joined forces to promote cell phones, and the results were remarkable.
In less than half a year, the popularity of mobile phones had reached a very high level. At least 90% of the cultivators in the God Race had begun to use mobile phones. The popularity of mobile phones in the Demon Race and the Demon Race had also reached about 70%.
Cell phones' popularity made it much easier for Ye Zichen and the others to gather information. Ye Zichen accepted Xiao Yumei's phone and saw a report on the demons.
[The Old Demon Emperor has left seclusion. The Old Demon Emperor has reclaimed his throne. Demon Emperor Kui Lin has been dethroned.]
When he saw the eye-catching headline, Ye Zichen couldn't help but smile.
Ever since the Venerable of Numinous Treasure told him last night that the Old Demon Emperor had left seclusion, he'd guessed that something big was about to happen to the demons. However, he hadn't expected the Old Demon Emperor's prestige to be so great. He hadn't shown his face in tens of thousands of years, but his prestige hadn't diminished in the slightest. As soon as he left seclusion, he'd reclaimed his throne.
Demon Emperor Kui Lin was truly pitiful. He hadn't received any good fortune from the tomb, and had ended up in a bloody mess.
When he returned to the demon race, he was no longer their leader, and the Demon Emperor's throne had been stolen.
"This news really came quickly." Ye Zichen looked at the eye-catching headline and laughed. "It's a bit like the media reports our official accounts put out in the Modern Realm."
"That's right, you're right. This is the daily headline we put out on our official accounts. Everyone in the demon race who uses a cell phone will receive it," laughed Xiao Yumei.
"Headline? What's your idea? "
Both the official accounts and the headlines belonged to the Modern Realm's news media. Zuo Mo was from the Immortal Region, so she had no idea what was going on.
As expected, Xiao Yumei smiled and nodded. "This is indeed my idea. You should know that I was a merchant back in the Modern Realm. We are the only mobile phone supplier, and we have a lot of promotion and popularity. The profits we get from selling mobile phones are too small, so we naturally have to get more profits from it.
"Anyone who uses our phones has to pay attention to our official account. There's a collaboration page on our official account, and people who use our phones can send us messages through that page. Zuo Mo has already prepared an audit department to verify the authenticity of these messages. If they are, we'll provide a response.
Those who work will be rewarded accordingly. "
"That's right. That way, it'll be easier for us to gather intel," Ye Zichen nodded.
"I think so too. Not only that, but because it's mandatory attention. Everyone who uses our phones will receive the news we're releasing. That way, whether it's to confuse the other races in the future, or to boost the Upheaval Alliance's reputation, it'll be incredibly useful. "
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yumei smiled and said.
"The people you brought from the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld are all talented. I only briefly explained the concept to them, and they created the public account in less than six hours. It's the kind that was forced to be installed."
"From the moment they established a connection to the human realm, I knew they were talented."
Ye Zichen smiled in affirmation, then arched his brows. "Right, is there any other news from the demons?"
"There is!"
Xiao Yumei smiled and tapped on her phone a few times, then entered what looked like a backend page.
There were countless messages that had passed the audit, some of which had been colored. Furthermore, the colored messages were divided into stars. "The information that has passed the audit will be categorized by the audit department according to the value of the information. Black means insignificant information, green means information that is worth paying attention to, red means important information, and purple … Currently, these information have not appeared yet. Purple means that it is urgent and must be dealt with.
That's right. These messages are also labeled with stars, with five stars being the highest. "
Ye Zichen took out his phone. Xiao Yumei glanced at it, then laughed.
"Don't look at yours. That's a first-generation phone. It doesn't have a public account or a backend page. When you have time, you can pay Zuo Mo a visit and ask her technicians to open a backend page for you. "
"Alright, keep going!"
The moment Ye Zichen said that, Xiao Yumei typed the word "demon" into the search bar, causing several pages of news with the demon as the keyword to appear.
"Look at this one with three red stars."
"Last night, Kui Lin fought the old Demon Emperor. Kui Lin was no match, so he fled with his people. The demons are currently divided. Although some are directly loyal to the old Demon Emperor, there are also some who are watching from the sidelines. Kui Lin should be waiting for an opportunity to recruit those who are watching from the sidelines and prepare to rise again. "
"Is there an internal conflict?"
Ye Zichen licked his lips and smiled. At that moment, his phone rang.
"Zuo Mo's message. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for our Demon Emperor, Kui Lin, to rise again."
He waved his phone at Xiao Yumei, then opened his chat with Zuo Mo.
"So you knew to contact me." Ye Zichen could feel Zuo Mo's grumbling through the screen. He shook his head and smiled wryly. Another message popped up. "What are these two videos for?"
"You haven't seen them yet, have you?"
"I haven't!"
"Then open them and take a look."
Zuo Mo really didn't reply. It seemed she was watching the content of the videos.
After a long while, Zuo Mo's chat window popped up. She was typing, and before long, she received a voice message.
"That's Demon Emperor Kui Lin, Jiao Hai of the South, and Iron Tank of the West?"
"Hey, you know all of them. You've done your homework," Ye Zichen grinned. "Are these two videos explosive enough?"
"They're too explosive. Those three major powers knelt, bowed, and then fled. If this gets out …."
Suddenly, Zuo Mo sent him a string of ellipses, followed by another voice message.
