Junior sister took first place again

As Wen Xingzhou finished speaking, Feiyun and Xueyou fell into deathly silence as if they were under a spell.

Although Wen Xingzhou did not say it directly, they all sensed from his few words a shocking secret that horrified the people of the world and the demon clan.

Feiyun's heart was like a raging storm. He recalled every moment he spent with Ning Jiasheng. All the clues that once puzzled him now became clear as the sun after the clouds had cleared.

Her breath-concealing technique was so flawless that even Wei Chen, a genius in the Wei clan, a master at the Spirit Transformation stage, found it difficult to discern her at all when watching the battle in the hall.

Sometimes the spiritual pressure she radiates is like the twinkling stars in the night sky, very different from that of ordinary people, but it is always masked by her exquisite control.

And those fleeting golden pupils were definitely not an illusion caused by angle and light...

All of this was like a sharp sword, pointing directly to a jaw-dropping truth - his funny and lovely junior sister, the proud disciple raised by the world's number one sword immortal, was actually a demon!

Feiyun felt a mixture of emotions, astonishment at Ning Jiasheng's identity, but also understanding and pity for her for having concealed her identity all along.

In today's turbulent situation, if Ning Jiasheng's identity were to be made public, what kind of storms and attacks would she encounter?

A strong desire to protect instantly ignited in Feiyun's heart. He secretly made up his mind to use his own strength to build an indestructible wall for Ning Jiasheng and never let anyone hurt her.

Xue You's mood was like a vast ocean, even more complicated than Fei Yun's.

As a member of the demon race, it felt a strong resonance with Ning Jiasheng's identity, as if it had found a ray of light in the darkness.

The unique temperament that he had once seen in Ning Jiasheng, he now suddenly realized, was an innate trait of the demon race, like the brightest star in the night sky, which made him feel an inexplicable closeness and pride.

But at this moment, Xue You buried all her thoughts deeply in her heart, and looked at the two people in front of her as indifferently as an iceberg, and said coldly: "Why do you want to say these things in front of me, Lord Wen? Aren't you afraid that after I know it...", will she use her identity to deal a heavy blow to the Immortal Sect?

Xue You hadn't finished speaking, but he knew that these two people had minds as clear as mirrors and understood exactly what he was saying.

In the face of huge interests, even blood relatives may turn against each other, but between him and them, they are just casual acquaintances, and there is an unfathomable gap between humans and demons.

Why on earth was Wen Xingzhou so unscrupulous that he dared to tell his junior brother these things in private without any hesitation?

Isn't such behavior disregarding Ah Sheng's safety?

Facing Xue You's questioning, Wen Xingzhou's expression was as calm as Mount Tai. He asked in return: "Xue You, would you do this?"

Xue You's beautiful face was as cold as frost, as if covered in ice and snow. "Why not? This matter concerns the interests of our demon race. Even if we shouldn't act rashly against the Xuanling Sect for now and shouldn't provoke a conflict between the two races, but if we have this leverage..."

"Okay, no need to pretend anymore. We've known each other for years, so who doesn't know each other's background?"

Feiyun suddenly took out a folding fan like a magic trick, and held it horizontally in the middle, abruptly interrupting Xueyou's words, and resumed his usual casual tone, like a gust of wind, suddenly revealing Xueyou's disguise.

"If you really would do this, you should have racked your brains to report it to Lord Yaoying long ago. Why would you waste time here discussing with Senior Brother Wen whether to do so?"

Wen Xingzhou also smiled and shook his head, then said, "You won't, Xue You. From the moment you showed up here today, I knew you wouldn't do that."

His voice was as gentle and firm as the spring breeze, and his words seemed to contain a rock-solid power.

He smiled faintly and continued, "Although you and I are different, we are both human and demon, but when it comes to Ah Sheng's affairs, our hearts are closely connected. You would never do anything to harm her. I have never had the slightest doubt about this."

Feiyun listened quietly at the side, his eyes full of determination and complete faith in Wen Xingzhou.

Xue You was silent for a moment, and his eyes gradually softened like melting ice and snow.

Then, it smiled faintly, like a blooming spring flower, and slowly spoke, "I sense your trust. I will never betray it. Ah Sheng is not only your junior sister, but also my good friend. I will do my utmost to protect her and safeguard the future of our two clans."

The three people's eyes met in the air, and in an instant, the originally solemn atmosphere seemed to be blown by the spring breeze and gradually became harmonious.

However, this harmony did not last long. Suddenly, a dazzling light bloomed from between the three of them without any warning.

Looking closely, it turned out that it was Wen Xingzhou and the other two, as well as the jade slip worn by "Boss Lin" around his waist, that were all shining with dazzling light.

This unexpected change startled the three of them, and the words on their lips were cut off.

Wen Xingzhou and the others' expressions suddenly grew heavy. Not daring to delay even a moment, they swept their spiritual senses over the writing, revealing rows of flowing words:

"Unusual movements have been reported in the Demon Realm. A large number of demons are gathering. All signs indicate that the target of this operation is suspected to be the Floating World!"

This piece of news was like a thunderbolt, exploding in the minds of several people.

Almost at the same moment, all the jade slips in the entire cultivation world lit up with dazzling light as if they had received some kind of command. This shocking news spread rapidly at lightning speed, sweeping through every corner like a storm.

Faced with such a sudden and significant event, the cultivators' reactions varied. Some were terrified and panicked; others frowned, lost in thought; and still others had determined eyes, eager to try...

Regardless of their performance, everyone felt an unprecedented sense of tension and immense pressure at this moment, for no one knew what impact and changes this impending storm would bring to the world of cultivation.

The Xingchen Sect is famous for its Five Elements and Eight Trigrams and the art of deducing the mysteries of heaven. They sensed the demon clan's unusual movements earlier than other sects.

In the main hall, Immortal Yunhua temporarily took over the position of the sect leader and sat in the main seat. For the first time, there was no smile on his face. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were like torches.

The elders stood on either side, the atmosphere tense and solemn. Outside the hall, dark clouds gathered and thunder rumbled, as if foreshadowing the coming storm.

Immortal Yunhua spoke in a deep voice, echoing throughout the hall: "Elders, according to the Sect Master's predictions, the demons' actions this time are of great significance. We must act immediately."

Elder Xinghe stood up eagerly, his sleeves fluttering with his movements, revealing his uneasiness. "Master, should we notify the other sects immediately and discuss countermeasures together?"

Another elder named Xinghai had a different opinion. He slowly stroked his long beard, his eyes calm, "Xinghe, have you forgotten the betrayal during the last alliance? We can't trust others easily. We should strengthen our own defenses first."

Elder Xinghe retorted, his finger nearly poking Xinghai's nose. "Xinghai, that's all in the past. Now that we're facing a formidable enemy, we must put aside our prejudices and unite all the forces we can."

Immortal Yunhua interrupted the two men's argument, his voice booming like thunder in the hall, "Enough, now is not the time for arguments. Elder Xinghe, immediately send a message to the four states to inform everyone. Elder Xinghai, strengthen the sect's defenses and prepare a batch of supplies to be sent to the front lines."

Although Elder Xinghai was reluctant, he still obeyed the order and left. His footsteps were heavy, and every step seemed to carve deep marks on the stone slabs of the hall.

In the Tianhe Yun Clan's meeting room, the Yun Clan's head was discussing countermeasures with several of the family's elders. Inside the meeting room, flickering candlelight illuminated everyone's tense faces.

The Yun family's head said in a deep voice, his voice like distant thunder: "This operation is both a crisis and an opportunity for us."

An elder leaned forward slightly, showing his eagerness: "Master, we should strengthen our ties with the Xingchen Sect. Their deduction of the heavenly secrets is crucial to our actions."

Another elder had a different opinion. He slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacup to jump and splash water everywhere. "Yunming, you're relying too much on the Xingchen Sect. We should rely on our own strength to strengthen the family's defenses, while secretly sending spies to gather intelligence on the demons."

Patriarch Yun sat calmly, waiting for them to finish speaking before slowly saying, "Elder Ming will be responsible for contacting the Xingchen Sect. Elder Zhu will be responsible for the family's defense and intelligence gathering. We must be fully prepared."

The Youzhou demon tribe's decision was made shortly afterwards. In the meeting place, the Lord of Zebei and the Lord of Chongqiu were engaged in a heated discussion. Outside the tent, a fierce wind howled, like the roar of a demon tribe.

King Zebei roared, his voice shaking the pillars of the tent slightly. "King Chongqiu, you are always too cautious. Now that the battlefield has moved to the floating world, there is no need to tangle with the immortal sect. We should immediately gather our troops and take the initiative."

King Chongqiu spoke calmly, his eyes sharp as a knife, gently waving the feather fan in his hand. "King Zebei, have you forgotten the lessons of the last war? We can't act blindly and impulsively. We must have a detailed plan."

The Lord of Zebei had a face full of anger, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were wide open as he stared at the other party. His seemingly thin but strong arms were trembling slightly with anger, and his tightly clenched fists were creaking, as if they would erupt like a volcano in the next second.

He gnashed his teeth and roared in frustration, "Your excessive caution is simply cowardice! If you continue like this, we will only miss such a great opportunity!"

King Chongqiu, in contrast, stood with a resolute expression, his posture erect as a pine tree. Though his tone was gentle and soft, every word carried a powerful force, resounding loudly: "A rash move will only bring greater risks. We can first dispatch an elite team to conduct a secret reconnaissance, while actively contacting the East China Sea to jointly discuss countermeasures. This way, we can ensure we don't miss the opportunity and minimize losses."

After a heated debate and weighing of the pros and cons, the two powerful demon kings finally took a step back and reached a compromise to some extent.

With the finalization of this important decision, the tense atmosphere that had been permeating the big tent was slightly relieved.

However, the whistling sound of the wind outside the tent was still rapid and sharp, like a horn urging death, foreshadowing that a thrilling battle was about to begin...

At this moment, in the deepest part of the distant East China Sea, King Chongming was sitting on a throne made of thousand-year-old coral, surrounded by several highly respected and famous leaders of the East China Sea.

They all had solemn expressions and furrowed brows as they sat around a huge crystal round table, urgently discussing strategies for dealing with the increasingly serious situation.

This magnificent Pearl Palace is the most sacred and solemn place in the East China Sea. Inside the palace, countless dazzling, crystal-clear pearls and gems are dotted everywhere, shining like stars with dazzling and enchanting light.

However, even with such dazzling jewels and precious stones, the entire hall still gives people a feeling of coldness, gloom and depression at this moment.

King Chongming's face was solemn and unsmiling, her beautiful eyes revealing wisdom and determination. She gently opened her lips and spoke slowly, her voice deep and powerful, "Everyone, the demons have suddenly displayed a series of extremely unusual behaviors. However, this undoubtedly presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the East China Sea!"

Her words seemed to possess some kind of magical power, spreading slowly in the vast ocean, causing ripples wherever they went.

The powerful and irresistible aura of majesty made everyone present nod in agreement with conviction.

King Chongming then continued his analysis, "According to reliable sources, the Immortal Sect will be dispatching a large number of its elite disciples to the Floating World. As a result, the once impregnable defenses of the Four Provinces will inevitably be significantly weakened due to the lack of manpower. This is truly a godsend opportunity for our demon race!"

Following King Chongming's analysis, the leaders of the East Sea began to whisper among themselves, their eyes gleaming with excitement. The atmosphere within the Pearl Palace gradually transformed from initial tension and uneasiness to a frenzy of eagerness.

An old and wise fish demon, his voice hoarse and low, as steady as waves crashing against rocks: "Your Majesty, our opportunity has indeed come. But we must act with caution and not let the immortal sect detect our movements."

King Chongming nodded, her gaze as sharp as a knife, seemingly able to pierce the water to the bottom. "You are right. We need a thorough plan. Assemble an elite force immediately and be ready to attack at any time. But remember, do not act rashly without my order."
