Chapter 1111 Convergence
In the end, Zhou You was exchanged with Mu Sigui.

Handing over the Hun Tian Axe to the other party and getting a Heavenly Demon Remains in return, this deal should be considered profitable.

Mu Sigui wasn't lying; the Heavenly Demon Corpse does indeed possess the potential of a half-saint, but it is currently limited by its current state and requires further exploration to elevate it to the level of a half-saint Yin Dao.

Well, Zhou You was still a little annoyed. Why did everyone think that losing the Half-Saint Yin Blade was a huge loss for him?
Mu Sigui thought the same way, which is why he used the Heavenly Demon Remains as a bargaining chip.

Zhou You was more interested in the source of Mu Sigui's rapid improvement in strength.

……

"Got it?"

Mixed-blood witches such as Wu Luoye and Lu Xiangxing gathered outside the Zuo Mansion.

Wu Luoye was still at the Human Sect realm, but Lu Xiangxing surpassed him and rose to become the Earth Sect, second only to Mu Sigui, the Heaven Sect.

The other mixed-blood witches, while not as advanced as these three, have also made significant leaps in their abilities, clearly having encountered extraordinary opportunities at the same time.

If Zhou You were to see this, he would surely be even more eager to know the reason behind it.

Mu Sigui took out the Hun Tian Axe from behind his back. "Lord Nanchen agreed very readily. He is a reasonable person and saves me a lot of trouble."

If things really came to a head, he doubted he could capture Zhou You in the stronghold of the powerful families.

This Lord Nanchen was already above him, and now that he himself has risen to the rank of Heavenly Sect Master, he finds it increasingly difficult to see through the other party's true strength.

Unless absolutely necessary, Mu Musigui prefers a peaceful resolution rather than resorting to violence.

Among all the mixed-blood witches, Wu Luoye was undoubtedly the most frustrated. He was originally the strongest, but unfortunately, he received the least benefit from the overall improvement this time, and instead became the third in line after Mu Sigui and Lu Xiangxing.

"Gentlemen, from now on, we half-blood witches will live only for ourselves. Taking advantage of the turmoil in the world and the civil war in the capital, we will secretly increase our strength. One day, no one will be able to ignore our existence!"

Mu Sigui raised the Hun Tian Axe high, and at that moment, he was undoubtedly the spiritual leader of all the mixed-blood witches present.

An untimely, cold laugh rang out, "With you?"

The Hun Tian Axe shattered those words, its momentum tearing through space, and a figure burst forth.

"It's you?"

Wu Luoye recognized him at a glance and exclaimed, "Yin Hen, what are you doing here instead of fleeing for your life, you stray dog?"

Appearing before the group of mixed-blood witches was none other than Yin Hen, who had been missing for many days. He spread his empty hands and faced Mu Sigui directly, saying, "What you want to do is difficult. A bunch of rootless mixed-blood witches are far from enough."

"How about forming an alliance with me?"

Mu Sigui chuckled and said, "An alliance? You think you're worthy?"

"Don't even mention it's you. Even if your master's inner demon ring were to be resurrected, could he possibly compare to the former Demon Soldier Lord, now the personal disciple of the Southern Divine Sword, Ao Mo Zhan Feng Fei Shang?"

Yin Hen coldly looked at him, "I know that you just chased Feng Feishang for 30,000 miles, and your second son Jian went to a distant place to rescue him. It was only by working together that the two of you forced you to retreat."

"But do you think I, Yin Hen, am still that mere slave of a soldier?"

Yin Hen's hands trembled, and all the mixed-blood witches present were horrified to discover that their own essence and blood began to form a self-locking ring, including Lu Xiangxing, who was at the Earth Sect realm.

The only one who could still contend with him was Mu Sigui. His expression was not good, because the aura of Yin Hen in front of him was even stronger than that of the Heart Demon Ring in its lifetime.

"Stop guessing. Before the Heart Demon Ring sent me away, it forcibly poured all its power into my body." "The Yin Hen standing before you not only possesses the Heavenly Sect Realm, but also has mastered all the transformations of the Demon Weapon and broken free from the restrictions of the Demon Weapon Realm. If you're interested, you can try and see who is superior, me or Ao Mo Zhan?"

After a moment's thought, Mu Sigui immediately understood, "The Heart Demon Ring sacrificed itself to make you who you are, allowing you to rise from a lowly soldier to a powerful figure in the Heavenly Sect. How great is that?"

"By the way, you're really not a descendant of the Heart Demon Ring?"

After witnessing Yin Hen's strength, it's not hard to reconstruct what happened that day. Yin Hen's Heart Demon Ring was eventually upgraded to the Heavenly Sect realm, and he originally had a chance to break through the encirclement, but he committed suicide in public in order to cover Yin Hen's escape.

They then transferred all their cultivation levels to him, leaving no room for any resurrection.

Indeed, the Demonic Weapon Techniques have many vicious tricks similar to possession and rebirth, but Mu Sigui could tell at a glance that the Heart Demon Ring was completely dead, and its abundant power had been handed over to Yin Hen.

This makes it hard not to suspect that Yin Hen is a descendant of the Heart Demon Ring.

Only blood relatives would arrange everything for him after his death without reservation, asking for nothing in return!
"I wish it were so, but all the beasts who share my blood are dead!"

Yin Hen changed the subject abruptly, "You and I are both destined to walk the path of being enemies with the world, making us natural allies!"

"Really? You're ready?"

Mu Sigui's lips curled up, and she retorted, "You're all alone, what makes you think you can form an alliance with me?"

Yin Hen wasn't angry. "Let me tell you your trump card first. Hmm, you half-blood witches have witch blood in your bodies, and the other half is..."

"If my information is correct, you have obtained a portion of the lost secret teachings of the Human Race Cult, stimulating the potential of the 'failed' bloodlines within you, which is why you have made such rapid progress!"

"The Martial Saint of Myriad Manifestations failed in creating the 'Supreme Human' race, but it wasn't without its achievements. The bloodlines of many of these failed creations have fused with powerful potential from ancient times, making them even more ancient than the descendants of those Martial Saints!"

Mu Sigui and the mixed-blood witches around him stepped forward in unison, enveloping Yin Hen in the center, showing signs of wanting to kill him to silence him.

This was their biggest secret, yet it was revealed to them in one fell swoop—it was too dangerous.

"Don't rush to make your move, I'm about to reveal my trump card!"

Yin Hen calmly said, "My extraordinary encounters are of the same origin as yours, and we all come from the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint."

"Yes, before the Heart Demon Ring died, it broke through the illusion and glimpsed the secrets of the Supreme Demon Weapon. One of them was that the design of the Supreme Demon Weapon also came from the Myriad Manifestations Martial Saint."

"So, based on this alone, shouldn't we be natural allies?"

After pondering for a long time, Mu Sigui waved for the mixed-blood witches to step back. "As you said, cooperation is not impossible."

"But the capital city will soon be embroiled in a war that will destroy the world. Do you have any plans?"

"Yes, you're right. The capital is too chaotic, with nowhere to hide, but it's also the eye of the world, so it's not advisable to go too far!"

Yin Hen revealed his plan, "The eight prefectures of Zhili are a good place. How about we set up our base nearby?"

"good idea!"

Six months later, news came from Maijingzhou, which had been in chaos for many days.

Since the governor of Maijing Prefecture was killed, the prefecture has split into seven or eight factions vying for control. Since they are all local strongmen, none of them can invade and annex the other's territory, resulting in a state of division and fragmentation.

Suddenly, a young man claiming to be the illegitimate son of the governor of Maijing Prefecture appeared out of nowhere. He won over many of the governor's former officials, made promises, formed alliances and marriages, and quickly unified the divided forces of the prefecture.
