Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

The changes in the immortal mountain caused Xuanwei and Chiwei to communicate with Qingqiu Ran more frequently.

There's no way around it; compared to those lunatics on Immortal Mountain, everyone has to miss the five great demon clans within the imperial territory.

In the bloodline memories of Xuan and Chiwei, the demons within the imperial territory were far too easy to get along with.

Descendants of the White Tiger, skilled in battle, but not fond of fighting.

The Sky Owl is fierce and brave, but usually well-behaved and cute.

The True Dragon Clan and the Flood Dragon Clan they left behind did not possess the inexplicable arrogance of the Immortal Mountain Dragon Clan.

This is normal. Let alone a jiaolong, even a true dragon was only considered a mid-to-upper-class race in ancient times.

In ancient times, unwarranted arrogance was tantamount to suicide.

The Golden Crow could turn a real dragon into roasted dragon skewers, making it one of the top races in ancient times.

Arrogance dries up the world, bringing great disaster.

The consequence was that their entire clan was almost wiped out by Yi.

However, Genoi and Akao clearly didn't understand this; they just wanted to go home.

......

Wu'an Marquis's Residence, Study

After settling his guests in, Li Junsu had just opened the study door when he saw Qingqiu Ran lazily sprawled on the table.

"You are finally back."

Qingqiu Ran lazily lifted her eyelids and yawned.

Xuanwei and Chiwei's telepathic communication was driving her crazy.

After blocking them out, it finally got quiet.

"What is it that you want to discuss with me?"

Li Junsu walked to his seat and sat down, asking a question with a hint of surprise.

Qingqiu Ran usually only stays with the Ghost Emperors, but now he's actually come to the study, which shows that this matter is really very serious.

"You should know about the Xuanwei and Chiwei lineages, right?"

Qingqiu Ran's small fox tail swayed back and forth as she asked calmly.

"Hmm, they want to go back to the imperial court?"

Li Junsu looked at Qingqiu Ran and asked in response with some understanding.

"Yes, what do you think?"

Qingqiu Ran didn't beat around the bush and admitted it directly.

"It's impossible."

Li Junsu leaned back in his chair and spoke casually.

No matter what, he is still a Demon Emperor, with considerable combat power.

"Yes, and also, according to their telepathic messages, the Demon Emperor of Immortal Mountain has awakened on a large scale."

"Moreover, the Queen Mother of the West has also appeared in the world."

Qingqiu Ran thought about Xuanwei's telepathic message just now, and her voice was solemn.

"The Queen Mother of the West?"

Li Junsu became serious.

"Yes, legend has it that he is a demon emperor, but he looks like a human, with a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth, and he is good at howling. His wrath over the heavens extends to the five calamities."

“In ancient times, she lived in the immortal mountain. Later, the Jade Emperor went to the immortal mountain, but he never met her.”

"Unexpectedly, she appeared in the world in later generations."

"Be careful of those powerful beings who control plagues and punishments."

"Among the martial arts masters of ancient times, there was not a single weakling."

Qingqiu Ran looked at Li Junsu and began to explain.

"It seems to be the most original Queen Mother of the West."

After listening to Qingqiu Ran's words, Li Junsu made up his mind.

The Queen Mother of the West began to appear as a noblewoman during the reign of Emperor Wu.

Thinking of this, a familiar voice suddenly popped into my mind.

"Sima Qian is a master of flattery, portraying the Queen Mother of the West as a wealthy celestial woman who bestows the elixir of immortality."

"That idiot Emperor Wu is obsessed with cultivating immortality and needs a goddess to give him some benefits, but he's really too indiscriminate in his tastes."

"When I saw the Queen Mother of the West holding the elixir of immortality, my eyes widened, but she was an ancient ferocious goddess."

Li Junsu shook his head, banishing Junqi's complaints from his mind.

"The Queen Mother of the West is very strong, extremely strong. According to Xuanwei's telepathic message, she is the head of the immortal mountains."

“In ancient times, King Yu killed Xiang Liu, but this wicked beast escaped by using his innate Taoist magic.”

"He eventually ran to Penglai, bumped into the Queen Mother of the West, and was suppressed by her at the bottom of the deep sea."

Qingqiu Ran placed her two little paws together and looked at Li Junsu. Her small fox face was full of seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Li Junsu was slightly surprised. Xiang Liu was here, yet he had run away?

Even more surprisingly, it actually bumped into the Queen Mother of the West?

"Oh, right, speaking of the Queen Mother of the West, we must mention the King Father of the East, who was fabricated by your human sorcerers."

"The demon emperor with a leopard's tail and tiger's teeth actually depicted Emperor Wu as a dignified noblewoman because of his pursuit of immortality."

"And then, out of nowhere, a Dongwanggong appeared to match Yin and Yang."

"Even someone like the Queen Mother of the West could do such a thing."

Qingqiu Ran clearly also read ancient books; there are no records of the Eastern King Duke from the pre-Qin period to the Warring States period.

From the Warring States period to the reign of Emperor Gaozu, there was a saying that there was Donghuang and Dongjun, but these two were the ancestral martial venerables of the Chu region.

They were deified in folklore, but they have no connection with the Queen Mother of the West.

Furthermore, the images of Donghuang and Dongjun, who were in charge of divine duties, are quite different from those of Dongwanggong in later generations.

Qingqiu Ran shuddered at the thought of the ruthless Queen Mother of the West.

"Therefore, the First Emperor wanted to kill the alchemists."

Li Junsu, however, remained quite calm.

The name "Dongwanggong" was the result of a joint effort by Confucian scholars and divination practitioners.

After Confucianism became the dominant ideology, Yin and Yang had to be matched in order to correspond with the interaction between Heaven and Man.

The Queen Mother of the West is associated with the west, is associated with metal, and belongs to yin.

Princess Dongwang, associated with the East, is associated with wood and belongs to the yang element.

When Yin and Yang are in harmony, the world is at peace.

Nuwa and Xi Huang were also harmed by this interaction between heaven and man; they were originally independent innate deities.

They were ancestors who made great contributions to the human race, and there was no question of kinship between them.

"Such a thing cannot happen in the Great Qian Dynasty."

Li Junsu pondered this for a moment.

The forced connection between Nuwa and Xi Huang is a combination of the experiences of Confucian scholars and apocryphal practitioners who combined the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East.

The initial signs of involvement emerged, and later it took full shape during the Great Qian Dynasty.

"Ah, the Confucianists, and some alchemists, are blessed."

Qingqiu Ran's voice interrupted Li Junsu's thoughts.

"Confucian scholars and apocryphal alchemists have certainly fabricated a lot about our ancestors. Just the demonization of the Lord of War alone is enough to give them a hard time."

"And Gonggong, smear him along with Bingzhu."

When they were making these stories, did they ever consider that their ancestors might come back to life?

Qingqiu Ran looked at Li Junsu's puzzled eyes, and her words, filled with intense curiosity, echoed in the study.

It would be truly exciting when those ancestors, who were fabricated by Confucian scholars or alchemists, came back to life.

"Alright, let me respond to them. You'd better be cautious about the matter of the Immortal Mountain."

"The various demon emperors of the immortal mountain have many demon kings and even demon emperors under their command."

"You'd better take your troops with you."

After saying that, Qingqiu Ran jumped off the desk, wriggled her four paws and nine tails, and left.

Li Junsu watched Qingqiu Ran leave the study before turning his gaze away.

"Western Queen."

Li Junsu looked at Xue Ling, who was still asleep, patted her head, and fell into deep thought.

According to Qingqiu Ran, the Queen Mother of the West is stronger than the Four Fiends.

Xiangliu is a monstrous beast that wreaks havoc on the world, and its strength is roughly equivalent to that of the Four Fiends.

Although he was seriously injured by King Yu and fled, his strength was no longer at its peak.

But the fact that the Queen Mother of the West was able to suppress her alive shows just how powerful she was.

"It also has the Enlightened Beast Clan as guards, and the chief of the Enlightened Beast Clan is the Demon Emperor."

A demon emperor as his protector, along with a powerful clan guarding him.

If it were the old Li Junsu, he would indeed have felt it was a difficult situation.

After all, besides the Queen Mother of the West and the Enlightened Beast Clan, there are other demon emperors on the Immortal Mountain.

Those demon emperors, and their respective clans, were equally powerful.

But now... if the Immortal Mountain dares to launch a large-scale invasion, the Four Fiends will besiege the Queen Mother of the West and the Enlightened Beast Clan.

Wen Sansha and Jian Wuji were responsible for holding off the other demon emperors.

Tiger Slayer Guards are responsible for facing the threats from the Demon King and the Demon Emperor.

This is only what the martial masters under my command can accomplish.

Human Emperor, Lord of War, God of Zhongshan, Supreme Demon, Supreme Cleanser, Heavenly Demon Chaos.

And there are these powerful figures who govern the dynasty.

"Each time the earth's veins reflect the people and things within the river of time, it presents both danger and opportunity for the dynasty."

Li Junsu opened the official document in front of him, thinking to himself.

Like warriors, dynasties either advance or retreat.
