Who told you to slay demons like this?

Qin Xi waved his hands repeatedly, "Why thank me?"

Mo Zhanji was extremely serious and looked at Qin Xi with a solemn face.

"If I hadn't had the Jade Pure Bamboo you gave me, I would definitely still be a useless person with no cultivation at all, so how could I ever join the Demon Slaying Division again?"

"If it weren't for you and the emperor slaying demons and protecting the Dashun territory, the Dashun would be in such dire straits today."

"Fortunately, everything is over. The Mo family has gone through countless hardships and can finally return to their homeland."

Qin Xi looked at Mo Zhanji, smiled, and then said solemnly.

"Mo Zhanji, I should be the one thanking you."

"Thanks to the Flame Demon-Catching Technique you taught me. Without it, I would never have survived the demon's hands."

"It is also thanks to you that you were willing to help me at the critical moment and taught me the Mo family's unique skills. Otherwise, I would not have been able to kill the Great Snake Lord with my own hands."

The two looked at each other, then looked towards the brightly lit imperial city, their hearts filled with hope.

The night is getting late.

Qin Xi bid farewell to Mo Zhanji and Qing'er, feeling dejected, and started on the road back home.

After Lu Lingjue succeeded to the throne, the Demon Slaying Division bought a house for Qin Xi in the imperial city, where every inch of land was worth a lot of money.

Qin Xi's reputation spread far and wide, and soon countless princes and ministers sent him visiting cards. Qin Xi was not good at socializing, and kept away from others every day. Later, he took advantage of the fact that Su Qing the sheep demon was looking for revenge and slipped back to the Blood Demon Pool.

After entering the house, Qin Xi dismissed her entourage and lay leisurely on the bed. She felt unprecedented relaxation and fell into a deep sleep.

In the imperial city and even in the entire Dashun, whether it is the demon-slayers stationed at the border or the ordinary people, everyone is full of hope, unlike before.

General Lu ascended the throne and successfully overthrew the violent, stubborn and incompetent emperor.

Not only that, a new strong man was born in Dashun - Captain Qin.

There were also rumors circulating among the people that this newly-born Captain Qin had charged into the Blood Demon Pool alone and slaughtered all the monsters in the pool.

In fact, this piece of gossip was deliberately fanned by Lu Lingjue.

The people of Dashun have been living in fear for a long time under the high pressure of demons and imperial power. Such news will undoubtedly alleviate the panic of the people.

It can be foreseen that for a long time to come, Dashun will enjoy peace and prosperity, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment.

In the dark and quiet night, the vendors gradually dispersed, leaving only a few warriors responsible for patrolling and maintaining order in the imperial city.

In an exquisite secret chamber, the eight great priests gathered here, each with their own ulterior motives.

Qi Kun, the first Zhu Qiantian, was a white-haired old man with a withered face, his entire face was like tree bark, except for his two eyes, which were very bright.

Qi Kun sat at the first seat, looked at everyone one by one, and then asked in a deep voice.

"Ten days from now, we will be offering sacrifices to the dragon veins. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the other seven people looked at each other, each with their own ulterior motives.

Hearing this, Liu Zhukan Shui Chirong touched his handsome cheek unconsciously, and recalled the evil star he encountered not long ago when he followed Zhu Meng's order and rushed to the border.

Unlike other Sizhu, he still remembers that thin-looking woman who rushed up to him and slapped him away after a few words.

Chi Rong felt scared just thinking about this. Lu Lingjue had the support of this great god behind him, so how could he dare to have any opinions?

Chi Rong was a little worried. If Lu Lingjue didn't get the dragon vein's recognition, that ferocious killer would pull the dragon vein out and beat him until the dragon vein recognized Lu Lingjue.

Thinking of this, Chi Rong couldn't help but shudder.

Wuzhu Xunfeng Fumu is approaching middle age, with a dignified and elegant appearance.

She was dressed in a green brocade dress, and exuded an aura of majesty without even getting angry. In response to Zhu Qikun's question, she responded.

"How dare we have any opinions? Don't we have to look at the dragon veins?"

Upon hearing this, the other people all expressed their agreement.

"What if she doesn't get the dragon vein's approval?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent and looked at the person who spoke.

The person who spoke was the second Zhu Duijin Yincan. Yincan looked like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

She was wearing a golden short skirt, gold and silver jewelry, revealing her white legs. She was young and cute, with a childish voice.

She looks harmless, but in fact, no one dares to look down on her.

The answer given by the Second Master Yincan was very insightful. In fact, this was exactly what the eight Masters were most worried about.

If the dragon vein recognizes the new emperor, both the emperor and the priests will be happy.

But if the dragon vein does not recognize the new emperor, what should they do as servants of the dragon vein?

Yin Can looked at everyone with a frown on his face and his red lips slightly parted.

"What do you see me doing?"

"Is the answer written on my face?"

Liuzhu Chirong lowered his head. No matter what decision others made, he had already made up his mind that he did not want to run into the Lu family or even the God of Killing.

In the past few days, he had also heard many rumors in the streets that the killing god named Qin Xi had killed all the demons in the Blood Demon Pool not long ago.

As a powerful warrior who had also entered the Infant Realm, Chi Rong naturally knew how difficult the demons in the Blood Demon Pool were.

Fortunately, he is Si Zhu, and he is only responsible for the safety of the dragon veins, and he doesn't need to fight with demons at all.

If Longmai really did not recognize the new emperor, he should not be like the other Sizhu and foolishly confront the Lu family.

"enough!"

"Are you really so submissive?"

"Don't forget what our duty is!"

The silence of the crowd made Yizhu Qikun increasingly dissatisfied. He could not help but slam the table and stood up.

"If the dragon vein accepts her, we will follow the dragon vein's will and make her the emperor!"

"The dragon vein won't accept it. We serve the dragon vein, so we must obey its will and kill the thieves who covet it with our own hands. We can use her blood to sacrifice to the dragon vein and appease its anger!"

Upon hearing this, Sanzhu Lihuo Yujie raised his delicate eyebrows, showing his disapproval, and refuted loudly.

"The Lu family has been loyal for generations, slaying demons and protecting Dashun. The dragon vein was born to protect Dashun. How could we refuse?"

"What's more, if the dragon vein disagrees with her, we will overthrow her and help the Zhu family take over?"

"Since the new emperor ascended the throne, everything he has done has benefited the country and the people."

Upon hearing this, Si Zhu Zhen Lei Xu Kui also nodded in approval, agreeing with what Yu Jie said.

"Yes, Zhu Meng was indeed incompetent and unjust. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, he is no longer the same as before."

"The dragon vein protects Dashun and will not reject the new emperor."

Qi Kun was rarely angry and rebuked in a deep voice.

"Don't forget your duties. You serve the dragon vein, not her, Lu Lingjue!"

Seeing Qi Kun's anger, an old voice came.

"Qi Kun, why are you so angry?"

"We serve the dragon vein and will obey its wishes."

"It's just that the Lu family is truly loyal and has protected Dashun for many years and has made great contributions. There is no need for the dragon vein to reject her."

"What's more, if the dragon vein really doesn't accept her, we will naturally not turn a blind eye."

The person who was speaking was Bazhu Kundi Jishou. She was an old lady, calm and dignified. Sitting there, she looked like the mother of the earth, full of generosity.

After Ji Shou spoke, the eight people gradually reached a consensus that if Longmai really did not approve of Lu Lingjue, they would definitely take action and follow Longmai's choice.

However, for Yu Jie, Xu Kui and others, they had no doubt that the dragon vein would reject the new emperor.

After a series of unpleasant conversations, the meeting ended unhappily.

Yizhu Qi Kun sat in the first seat, like an old monk in meditation, motionless, watching the other officials leave one by one.

After everyone else had left, Qi Kun's eyes became even more vicious.

"Lu Lingjue, how could you possibly gain the approval of the dragon vein?"
