The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Li Ji reigned as the Demon Queen for two hundred years, and only a few months after she left, the demons below, feeling triumphant, began to harbor ulterior motives.

For the first two hundred years after Shi Tian ascended to the throne, he spent his time seeking pleasure outside.

Aside from being born with the Nine-Headed Serpent, he has absolutely no cunning or scheming skills. It would be strange if he could completely control the old fogies below who rely on their seniority.

Originally, Li Ji and the others thought that Hu Zheng had turned some of the demon servants against him, so they simply killed them.

Little did they know that these turned demon servants were acting on the orders of the Nine-Headed Serpent's former subordinates.

In other words, on their way back, they faced not only the Tiger Clan, but also the former followers of the Nine-Headed Serpent.

Yun Yici sighed: "It's all for the sake of power and profit."

Even Shi Tian, ​​the demon king of Jiuqi City, didn't say he wanted to kill Li Ji. Isn't this a case of the emperor not being worried but the eunuch being anxious?

No one dared to delay, and when they went down to the deck of the spirit boat, they saw blood everywhere.

There were corpses of snakes and other beastmen, indicating that a bloody battle had taken place here.

Xiao Qing, expressionless, slid her tail across the pool of blood left by her clansmen on the ground, leading everyone to reunite with Li Ji and the others.

Xiaoqing led them to a clean cabin in the lower deck.

Before long, Li Ji and Wen Fuyue arrived.

Li Ji looked tired and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've dragged you down."

Yun Yici looked around. Wen Fuyue was followed by Rong Xuan and Ning Tinglan. Now everyone was present.

Li Ji explained, "I started dealing with the betrayal of the demon servants the moment I discovered it. I didn't want to bother you with such a small matter."

Originally, Li Ji planned to lead her people to kill all the traitorous demons and leave the leader alive, but unexpectedly, all the demon servants were replaced by the old subordinates of Jiu Ying.

Not only that, but the bottom of the cabin also harbored the demonic cultivator Hu Zheng.

Li Ji then went to the bottom of the cabin to deal with Hu Zheng's men herself, but unexpectedly, the demon servants above attacked the cabin with extraordinary speed.

Li Ji: "I'm keeping all those Tiger-like demon cultivators alive in the cabin, just in case their deaths alert the Tiger-like demons."

"That's right, this boat is probably no longer habitable."

On the entire spirit ship, apart from them and Li Ji's snake clan servants, and the dying tiger demon cultivator, all the other demon servants were dead.

On the deck, in the corridors, and in some rooms with broken doors and windows, were all the corpses of demon cultivators who had turned into their original forms after death.

Yun Yici said, "If that's the case, I have a smaller spirit boat. Although there might not be enough rooms, it will be enough for us."

Yun Yici calculated that her small spirit boat only had ten rooms.

However, there are five of them, master and disciples alone, plus Li Ji, Di Zhao, Ming Wu, Wan Nian, Li Shao, Shen Huai Chuan, and Bai Ruo.

However, the room issue was easy to resolve; Wen Fuyue suggested that the four of them, master and disciples, could squeeze in together.

After discussing it, everyone decided to move to Yun Yici's spirit boat first.

As for the demon ship, the surviving demon servants will first tidy up the situation on board, and then use it as bait.

Yun Yici took out a spirit boat that she hadn't used in a long time. After everyone boarded the boat, she adjusted the star-guiding board and followed far behind the demon boat.

After Li Ji boarded the boat, she first exhaled a sigh of frustration before curiously examining the small spirit boat.

"Is this a spirit boat from the human realm? It looks pretty good."

In fact, Ji Heng, who gifted Yun Yici the spirit boat, thought that the size of the spirit boat was just right for Yun Yici's daily use, and the consumption of spirit stones was also moderate.

If she had known this would happen, she would definitely have chosen a larger size to send it to.

Mingwu was also looking at the spirit boat. He said, "Truly, he has been ignorant of worldly affairs for a thousand years. This spirit boat is completely different from the one I rode in back then."

After a night's rest, the demon ship ahead was cleared thanks to Xiao Qing and the others' efforts.

Li Ji thought about it all night, and her heart grew cold.

She was like a sister to Shi Tian's mother, and she was the one who took the blame for Shi Tian's shirking of responsibility for two hundred years.

Now, things have gotten worse. No one remembers her kindness; instead, some want her dead.

Therefore, when Xiaoqing arrived today, Li Ji sat calmly to the side.

After bowing to everyone, Xiao Qing respectfully reported, "We have found out that these Tiger-Zheng Clan cultivators were secretly hidden on the boat by those traitorous demons."

"Because the news of Zhulong's birth spread, other demon cities became restless. They calculated the whereabouts of the demon envoy of Shuangluo City and planned to use him as a tool to kill."

"The demon envoy sent by Frostfall City this time is the Demon King's only son."

Li Ji said, "So that's how it is."

After saying that, she fell silent.

However, her pride made her determined to return to Jiuqi City and vent her anger.

The demonic aura emanating from Li Ji created a tense atmosphere in the council hall, and Xiao Qing's body trembled slightly.

The emperor didn't take this seriously. He poked at the empty teacup on the table beside him and asked, "What exactly are you thinking?"

"Should we just abandon that demon ship up ahead?"

“You’ve been kind to that kid Shi Tian, ​​yet he’s so stupid.”

Emperor Zhao narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself that since Li Ji had tricked everyone into coming here, he should just burn them all down and get it over with as soon as possible so he could go back home.

Li Ji sensed the provocative intent in the Emperor's edict and asked seriously, "What do you mean by this?"

The emperor laughed and said, "I just think you are more suitable to be the king of Jiuqi City than Shitian."

The dead rabbit won't stay in the demon realm, and Qingqiu is too far from Kunlun's teleportation array. It would be great if there was someone in Jiuqi City to help him watch over his territory.

Mingwu interrupted, saying, "Fellow Daoist Dizhao, this is not her ambition. Please stop talking."

Upon understanding these words, the demonic aura emanating from Li Ji began to weaken and disappear.

As her reason gradually returned, Li Ji sighed, recalling her vengeful heart in her rage: "I was too attached to appearances."

Wen Fuyue was grateful for Li Ji's kindness in taking care of them along the way, and agreed with Mingwu's words.

The emperor was not annoyed: "So what is it now? Are you going back to Jiuqi City in Xiao Ci's spirit boat in a sorry state?"

"Then go and complain to Shi Tian?"

Yun Yici thought for a moment and said, "I'm thinking, if the Tiger Clan and the Nine-Headed Serpent's former subordinates want to use someone else to do their dirty work, why can't we use the demon ship ahead to make them reap what they sow?"

The Tiger Clan members were unaware that they possessed another spirit ship; they all assumed they were aboard the demon ship.

Rong Xuan made many puppets that resembled them, enough to fool the eye.

Yun Yici's suggestion calmed everyone down.

Bai Ruo said, "I can contact Lady Bai Wu; she might know the whereabouts of the demon envoy from Frostfall City."

"We'll intercept the Frostfall City demon envoys beforehand, and then launch a counterattack."

If Bai Ruo weren't the priest of Qingqiu, he would have advised everyone to be more ruthless.

They took Yun Yici's spirit boat directly back to Jiuqi City, leaving an empty demon boat to lure Hu Zheng and Jiu Ying's old subordinates into making foolish mistakes.

The Demon King of Frostfall City lost his only son and will definitely not let the Tiger Clan go. Even if Nine-Headed Serpent cannot afford to offend them, it will force Shi Tian to hand over the people and give an explanation.

However, from Qingqiu's perspective, the current balance is the best, and Bai Ruo does not want any changes to the other thirteen city forces.
