Madam, please respect my profession.

Lu Zhan was already used to his female boss's aggressive words, so he ignored her words and headed towards the water palace to investigate.

The atmosphere in the Water Palace was not harmonious and was a little awkward.

Empress Haiyun had a strange look on her face. She had long been ravaged by time and no longer looked as pretty as she used to be. Yet, this Kong Sheng was still interested in her. Was he looking for someone to be his mother?

Although she was unhappy in her heart, Empress Haiyun did not say anything, but handed the home court to Montenegro.

Hu Bushu stared at Kong Sheng, thinking that the demons in Peacock Mountain were so bold that they dared to speak such nonsense even though they had fallen to such a state.

This is challenging Montenegro's bottom line.

But unexpectedly, there was no movement from Montenegro.

Heishan sat behind the stage with a solemn expression, but he was secretly relieved in his heart. Fortunately, the condition proposed by Kong Sheng was to borrow Empress Haiyun instead of asking Heishan to kill Lu Zhan.

It seems that Kong Sheng is a bit smart and knows how terrible Lu Zhan is. He is not as impulsive as Hei Que, who is blinded by revenge.

Heishan was secretly pleased, but suddenly frowned...

No...killing Lu Zhan is indeed not an option, but taking his wife is not an option either!

No wonder Haiyun and Hu Bushu were looking over here, it seemed like they were waiting for him to get angry. Heishan realized it belatedly and immediately got furious, shouting:

"Mr. Kong, what do you mean by this? I am truly grateful to you, Peacock Mountain, and I consider you to be my family. But you are going too far. You actually humiliated me and Empress Haiyun like this. You simply don't take our two tribes seriously. This is extremely despicable!"

Heishan was so angry that he threw out two punches. The wind from his fists turned into long snakes and rolled towards Kongsheng.

The Stonemen were already strong, and the power of these two punches made Shuigong a little distorted.

"I..." Kong Sheng was about to explain, but the punch was too fierce. He had no chance to speak and had to raise his hand to block it.

Boom boom boom——

The two streams of true qi collided, causing a huge wave, but the water palace remained motionless, silently swallowing up the energy field generated by the battle between the two.

If it weren't for the tension between the two men, it would be hard to tell that a battle had taken place here.

Kong Sheng was no match for Heishan. His arms were broken in an instant, and a deep hole was smashed on his chest. He flew backwards heavily and spit out blood as soon as he landed. He looked extremely embarrassed.

Seeing that Heishan wanted to continue his attack, Kong Sheng hurriedly explained:

"That's not what I meant! I heard that Madam Haiyun is good at making pills, I just wanted to ask Madam Haiyun for some advice on alchemy, that's all!"

Black Mountain was having a great time fighting, and was just about to take the opportunity to let Hu Bushu see the Stoneman's fighting power. When he heard this, he was half-believing and half-doubting:

"That's it?"

“That’s all!”

Kong Sheng's tone was sincere, but a fierceness surged in his heart. Heishan was really not kind in doing things. When he asked them for help, his attitude was extremely respectful.

But now that the Stoneman tribe's ban has just been broken, Heishan has acted ruthlessly towards him. Although there are reasons for this, it can also be seen that Heishan has turned his back on him and does not care about Peacock Mountain at all.

If we really want to restore the glory of Peacock Mountain, we cannot rely on Black Mountain.

Kong Sheng staggered to his feet, hiding the chill in his eyes, and continued:

"No matter how foolish Kong is, he would not dare to humiliate the queen. The Black Mountain King has been friends with our Peacock Mountain for a long time. Doesn't he know what kind of person Kong is?"

"..."

Peacock Mountain was doomed and had little remaining value. Black Mountain had long since stopped caring about it, which was why he acted rashly.

However, we need vanguards to attack southern Xinjiang, and we definitely cannot turn against each other at this time.

Thinking of this, Heishan was able to bend and stretch, and apologized repeatedly, saying:

"It's all my fault for being impulsive and offending Brother Kong. It's true that Haiyun is young and beautiful, but I'm old. I'm always a little lacking in confidence, so I got a little excited... Sigh, I hope Brother Kong won't hold it against me."

Kong Sheng said indifferently, "Of course not, but let's put it this way. As I said before, we at Peacock Mountain have made great contributions, so we should give you some benefits. I heard that the Nanxi Shuirou Pill is a rare and top-grade elixir. We would like to ask the queen to move to the elixir furnace and give us some advice."

"?!"

Heishan was stunned, thinking that Kong Sheng was asking for too much, but thinking about the current situation of Peacock Mountain, he realized that even if he got the Nanxi Shuirou Pill, it would not cause any trouble. After the matter was accomplished, he would eliminate Peacock Mountain.

Even if Kong Sheng were to become the king of the Stoneman tribe now, it would only be a delaying tactic.

Thinking of this, Heishan looked at Empress Haiyun and said, "Haiyun, Nanxi Shuirou Dan is something from your water tribe. What do you think?"

Empress Haiyun has been silent since the meeting began.

One reason is that Montenegro is the dominant party, and she needs to give face to Montenegro and let Montenegro make the decision.

The second reason is that Wu Zu does not support the ambitions of the water tribe. Now Wu Zu is recuperating in the holy land. Empress Haiyun feels a little uneasy and dares not say much.

Until now, she had to speak:

"Everything is up to Brother Hei. Since everyone is working together, we will naturally show our sincerity. We just hope that on the day of the uprising, you will spare no effort and join us in the celebration."

Kong Sheng achieved his goal and said with a smile:

"Of course. As far as I know, the situation in Southern Xinjiang is in chaos right now. The demons are not happy with the arrival of the Demon Suppression Bureau and want to join forces with us. Given this situation, it's easy for us to attack Southern Xinjiang, but we're afraid that the Immortal Sect will intervene."

Hu Bushu was also worried about this matter. Although the eldest princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty had passed away, the Great Zhou court and the Immortal Sect were still alive. This matter was indeed difficult to deal with.

Seeing the two men's solemn expressions, Heishan couldn't help but smile and said:

"You two, although I, Heishan, have a bad temper, I am definitely not an impulsive person. I wonder if you have ever heard of a name - the Gu God!"

Hu Bushu's pupils shrank violently, and he said in shock:

"According to what our princess said, the Gu God is not in the Thousand Deadly Valley. Could it be that..."

"That's right!" Heishan stood up and smiled proudly, "As early as five hundred years ago, the Gu God has cooperated with us. Everyone, if we have the Gu God to help us, what do you think our chances of winning are?"

"!"

Kong Sheng swallowed his saliva. As a member of the southern border demon tribe, he naturally knew the reputation of the Gu God.

At that time, the Gu God brought disaster to southern Xinjiang and caused catastrophe.

In order to suppress the Gu God, Wu Zu and Peacock Ancestor joined forces.

But even so, they failed to suppress the Gu God. Instead, they were schemed against by the Gu God and trapped Wu Zu for thousands of years. This shows how powerful the Gu God is.

If the evil god, who is almost at the peak of the divine consciousness realm, could take over Southern Xinjiang, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?

"The God of Gu is an evil god. Cooperating with him is like seeking the skin of a tiger..." Hu Bushu was in Qingqiu and had never experienced the harm of the God of Gu personally. He was not as shocked as Kong Sheng. After a brief shock, he calmed down.

Seeing Hu Bushu's reaction, Heishan thought that the Qingqiu High Priest was just so-so and had no courage, so he laughed and said:

"I know this well. It's nothing more than cooperation for the sake of profit. Even the two of you, aren't you here for the sake of profit? Besides, although Gu Shen is an evil god, he is also a demon. His power is far less than before, and he will not take the risk of attacking his own people."

Kong Sheng felt that this matter had great potential, and his thoughts changed accordingly. He said:

"That being said, we need to see the Gu God first so that we can know what's going on. If the Gu God doesn't show up on the day of the incident, wouldn't it be difficult for us to end it?"

Heishan said: "I understand Brother Kong's concerns, but don't worry, the moon will be full on the fifteenth of this month, and the Gu God will come to the South China Sea. At that time, we will discuss the specific matters of attacking the southern border. Don't worry, no matter how far the water tribe goes, I will never break my promise to you."

"..."

Kong Sheng looked indifferent, not believing Heishan's promise, and said:

"Whether Peacock Mountain can return to its peak is a matter for the future. Anyway, after we take over Southern Xinjiang, I just want you to kill Lu Xiaofeng, or... Lu Zhan!"

"As long as he is not dead, we in Peacock Mountain will not be able to sleep or eat in peace!"

"..."

Kong Sheng originally didn't know that Lu Zhan was Lu Xiaofeng, but after learning that Lu Zhan asked Heishan to wipe out Peacock Mountain, he began to guess.

The Lu Xiaofeng who caused the destruction of the Peacock Mountain family was Lu Zhan!

Heishan's eyes twitched. He thought Kong Sheng was calm, but he didn't expect him to be ignorant of the world. However, in this situation, he could only agree to it:

"Don't worry, I will definitely help Brother Kong kill Lu Zhan! If Lu Zhan dares to come, I will cut him into pieces and pay tribute to the heroic spirit of Peacock Mountain!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shrimp soldier came running out of the hall and reported:

"My Lady! Lu Zhan from the Demon Suppression Division is here!"

"?!"

Kong Sheng immediately stood up and slammed the table, looking at Heishan, sneering: "Well, well, well... it's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early!"

"..."

Heishan's face darkened, and he felt a little uneasy. Lu Zhan's arrival was just too coincidental... At least he could wait for a while and let him act cool first...

But in the current situation, there is obviously no time to think too much, Heishan said hurriedly:

"Brother Kong, please be patient. Now is not the time to attack Lu Zhan. If we attack Lu Zhan now, won't it attract the attention of the Great Zhou court? If so, the gain will outweigh the loss!"

Kong Sheng was angry, but he also felt that what Heishan said made sense.

Now that Wei Jinyao is dead, the Great Zhou Demon Suppression Division is leaderless and has no time to take care of other things. The Immortal Sect is also fighting among themselves and has no time to take care of Southern Xinjiang. This is indeed a good situation. But if they touch Lu Zhan, the court will bombard them even if it is in chaos.

After thinking it over, Kong Sheng could only suppress his anger and said, "In this case, I want to leave this place first and wait for the Gu God to come before discussing it in detail!"

Hu Bushu smiled without saying a word, his figure disappeared from the spot, leaving only a ripple.

……

"Empress Haiyun is in such high spirits. Is she celebrating the death of the Grand Master?"

A clear and loud voice came from outside the hall.

Heishan and Haiyun hurriedly stood up to greet them, but before they reached the door, the magnificent door inlaid with pearls was suddenly kicked open from the outside. The door collapsed with a loud bang, causing a whirlpool of water.

In the whirlpool, a young man in black came indifferently.

The young man had his left hand behind his back, his posture was calm, his handsome face was as cold as ice. Behind him followed a maid holding a sword. The maid was wearing a snow-white long skirt and a veil on her face.

Haiyun recognized the other person's identity. It was the maid who came with Lu Zhan to show off his power that day.

Seeing the door being kicked, Empress Haiyun dared not say anything but smiled and said:

"Please forgive me, Master. We have no intention of disrespecting Your Highness. It just happened to be... it happened to be the anniversary of Heige's father's death. The Nanhai ceremony is grand, so it's a little lively."

Surrounded by the two men, Lu Zhan sat on the coral throne with ease and looked up at Black Mountain:

"Is your father dead?"

Heishan lowered his head slightly, feeling that these words sounded like insults, and his face was grim: "Thanks to the care of the commander, my father has passed away many years ago."

“Oh…” Lu Zhan casually poured a glass of wine, then poured it on the ground, saying, “Since it is your father’s death anniversary, I will also offer you a glass of wine.”

"..."

The veins on Heishan's forehead were throbbing wildly, and he suppressed his emotions and said, "Thank you, sir..."

“You’re welcome.” Lu Zhan raised his hand, his eyes fell on the two long tables in the hall, and asked, “Were you entertaining guests just now?”

Queen Haiyun frowned. Lu Zhan was too fast. They didn't have time to remove these...

Empress Haiyun thought quickly and said:

"To be honest, after learning of His Highness's death, I couldn't sleep at night. I just summoned the water tribe priests to pray for a glimmer of hope for His Highness..."

"..."

Lu Zhan played with the glass cup with a playful look on his face.
