Fantasy: The Clan Chief Lies Down, His House Is Full of Emperors

After Xu Luo left, Xu Qingzhou immediately contacted Su Xin and Yu Tianzhuo and told them everything about the Demonic Sect.

Even though the two had cultivated for over two hundred years and were considered experienced, they were still shocked after hearing this story.

Su Xin asked in a deep voice, "Is this matter reliable?"

“It’s 99% true,” Xu Qingzhou replied confidently.

Su Xin and Yu Tianzhuo looked at each other, their expressions complicated.

“Although the royal family has been suppressing the three major forces, I didn’t expect them to be this ruthless,” Yu Tianzhuo exclaimed.

Only then did he realize that the royal family was ruthless; they were ruthless to everyone.

To achieve one's goals by any means necessary—what's the difference between that and a demonic cultivator?

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why they can associate with demonic cultivators.

Su Xin sighed deeply.

"Over the years, we have always felt that the royal family has reduced its suppression of the Lingyue Sect, and we thought this was an opportunity for us to develop rapidly and achieve our goal of confronting the royal family."

"I never expected that the royal family would secretly be brewing such a vicious plan. If this plan succeeds, not only will all our years of hard work and accumulation be in vain, but we will also suffer a severe blow."

Xu Qingzhou said, "Now that we know about their conspiracy in advance, it's not too late."

Their eyes lit up.

"what's your plan?"

Xu Qingzhou explained the method of using someone else's strength against them.

"Xiao Luo and Mu Ge spent seven years in the Great Xia Dynasty and have a good understanding of the Eastern Region. He has already set off to find Buddhist sects. If they can contact Buddhism before the Demonic Sect launches a full-scale attack, then everything will be solved."

"But whether we can make it in time is anyone's guess, so we still need to be fully prepared."

Su Xin nodded, agreeing that they couldn't place all their hopes on others.

After discussing it, Su Xin and Yu Tianzhu left, as they needed to go back immediately to make preparations.

In particular, Yu Tianzhuo should try his best to minimize the losses suffered by Wanbaoge in this chaos.

The Xu family also needs to make some preparations.

For example, the Drunken Immortal Pavilion located in various cities, and the Xu family members in Yunshan City and Yuhe City.

When the Demonic Cult invades, it will definitely prioritize attacking first- and second-rate sects, followed by densely populated cities.

Once they entered the city, they didn't care which faction you belonged to; they killed anyone they saw and looted anything they could find.

Unfortunately, the Xu family and Wanbaoge cannot close the store now, as that would only arouse suspicion from the royal family.

All they could do was notify management and conduct an emergency drill.

This way, we can retreat immediately when the time comes.

The only good news is that most Wanbaoge branches have teleportation arrays, so Wanbaoge and the Xu family will definitely have priority to use them and get away first.

As for those from other factions, there's nothing we can do to help them.

.....

As time went on, demonic cultivators began to appear in various places within the Great Qi Dynasty, causing widespread panic among the people.

All sorts of nonsensical remarks have emerged.

Some say it's divine punishment, some say it's the beginning of chaos, and others say the world is about to end.

The royal family arranged for the appearance of demonic cultivators in advance to pave the way for a large-scale invasion of demonic cultivators later on.

While the royal family arranged for demonic cultivators to cause trouble within the dynasty, they also pretended to be angry and dispatched a large number of powerful individuals to search for and hunt down the demonic cultivators throughout the entire dynasty.

They're just boosting their own stats to create a fake identity.

If Xu Qingzhou hadn't known all this beforehand, he would have been completely fooled by the royal family's acting skills and would have had no doubt that these demonic cultivators were supported by the royal family.

The Xu family, Lingyue Sect, and Wanbao Pavilion have been making various preparations in secret, but on the surface they are still doing what they always do.

Xu Qingzhou even took some time to go out and inspect the work at Zuixianlou.

Unfortunately, just as he arrived at the second floor of Zuixianlou and ordered a drink, he heard screams coming from the street.

Xu Qingzhou held her drink and looked out the window.

Several soldiers dressed in black armor and wielding long swords were seen besieging a gaunt monk in the street.

This cultivator's cultivation level and strength were inferior to several soldiers, but the magic weapon in his hand was quite powerful—a banner that constantly emitted bursts of demonic energy.

Each time the gaunt cultivator waved the demon banner in his hand, countless vengeful spirits would fly out from it. These spirits were extremely adept at attacking souls, forcing the soldiers to deal with them with extreme caution.

If passersby are not careful, they may be mistakenly killed by the evil spirits.

He might have been killing indiscriminately on purpose, because every time someone died nearby, the ghosts would become unusually agitated, emitting mournful cries, as if a starving man had seen a delicious meal.

"You demonic cultivator, you wantonly slaughter the people of my Great Qi Dynasty! You deserve to die a thousand deaths!!"

The soldiers of the Great Qi Dynasty, clad in black armor, shouted sternly.

The gaunt cultivator shouted arrogantly, "I'm not only going to kill them, I'm going to kill you all! Hahahaha!!"

His chilling laughter sent shivers down one's spine.

Xu Qingzhou took a sip of his drink. "Could this be the legendary demonic cultivator and the Soul Refining Banner?"

Recently, Xu Qingzhou has been reading ancient books about demonic cultivators and has gained some understanding of them.

The magical artifact frequently used by demonic cultivators is the Soul Refining Banner, which has different names depending on the number of Yin spirits contained within it.

The Hundred Souls Banner, Thousand Souls Banner, Ten Thousand Souls Banner, can also be called the Human Emperor Banner.

As the saying goes, if you don't work hard in your cultivation, you'll end up as brothers in the Soul Refining Banner.

One banner is passed down through three generations; even after the person dies, the banner remains.

Demonic cultivators cannot lose the Soul Refining Banner, just as the cultivation world cannot be without the Drunken Dream Pavilion and the Wonderful Sound Pavilion.

At this moment, the city guards of Lingyue City arrived from afar.

"You audacious demonic cultivator, surrender now!"

The city guards' authoritative voices echoed through several streets, giving passersby hiding in the distance a slight sense of security.

"Hahaha! Today I'm going to have a good time killing!!"

The gaunt demonic cultivator laughed wildly, somewhat insane.

Because demonic cultivators advance in their cultivation level too quickly, their mental state cannot keep up, so they often behave somewhat abnormally.

Faced with the encirclement, the gaunt demonic cultivator did not choose to sit and wait for death, but instead fought his way to where there were more people.

Because his strength increases with each cultivator he kills, theoretically he can keep getting stronger until he has slaughtered all the cultivators in Lingyue City.

Unfortunately, Lingyue City was a large city with many powerful figures, and he was quickly killed by the city lord's mansion.

In an instant, the cultivators in the city cheered and shouted that the city lord was mighty and that the Qi Emperor was long-lived.

Even though it was the royal family who released the dogs, the person who was bitten by the dogs is still thanking the royal family.

Seeing this, Xu Qingzhou was speechless.

"This plan can not only deplete the power of various forces and consolidate the imperial authority, but also enhance the status of the royal family in the hearts of the people. It is truly a win-win situation."
