The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

As the two demon generals had predicted, Chu Xiu was stopped by several powerful figures after fleeing only a few thousand miles in his direction.

These auras were all above the late stage of the Qiankun Realm, and each of their faces was very familiar to Chu Xiu, who had examined the memories of the alligator dragon.

Chu Xiu smiled slightly: "Generals, have you stopped me here because of something important to discuss?"

Faced with Chu Xiu's question, the demon generals remained silent, but scattered as if facing a formidable enemy, blocking Chu Xiu's retreat from all sides.

Seeing this, Chu Xiu gave a cold smile.

These individuals before us are all demon generals under Pulao Demon General, who ranks above the Jackal Dragon Demon General among the three hundred demon generals of the Spirit Control Sect. Their strength should not be underestimated.

However, these few individuals alone would never dare to oppose the alligator dragon demon general who had just successfully awakened the Yinglong True Blood.

There must be someone instigating this.

And this person must be their superior, General Pulao!

Chu Xiu quietly probed his surroundings with his divine sense, and sure enough, in a hidden cave a thousand meters away, a powerful aura of a divided soul was concealed there, observing every move.

A split soul at the late stage of the Qiankun Realm, with the aura of a true dragon bloodline... I was right!

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and used his magic to amplify his voice for thousands of miles:

"General, with your strength and power, if you want to attack me, why do you need to hide?"

"Hehe, such powerful spiritual perception ability. You are indeed... not the true form of the Alligator Dragon!"

The figure of the Demon General Pulao slowly appeared not far in front of Chu Xiu. His unique frog eyes, which shimmered with an eerie blue light, narrowed slightly and he sneered.

"I have dealt with the alligator dragon before. With its spiritual cultivation, even if it cultivated for another ten thousand years, it would never be as powerful and perceptive as you!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiu shrugged noncommittally, showing no panic in the face of Pulao Demon Commander's suspicions.

Now, he no longer needs to maintain his identity as the Crocodile Dragon in front of anyone, nor does he need to explain himself to anyone.

Even the Demon Emperor tacitly approved of his impersonation of the Crocodile Dragon and even offered assistance in awakening his bloodline, which shows how much the Demon Emperor valued him.

Furthermore, Long You, who comes from a branch of the Alligator Dragon lineage, has now fully awakened the Alligator Dragon True Bloodline and is qualified to inherit the main family status of the Alligator Dragon lineage.

As for the former alligator dragon, now that it's dead, it's dead; nobody cares.

Seeing that Chu Xiu seemed indifferent to his suspicions, the Demon General Pu Lao suddenly recalled the Demon Emperor's actions during Chu Xiu's awakening, and frowned, muttering to himself:

"Could it be... that His Majesty knew all along that this person was impersonating the Crocodile Dragon and infiltrating the Imperial Spirit Sect?!"

In a very short time, the demon general Pu Lao had already figured it out.

Indeed, a mere alligator dragon is no match for a dead one, but the one before us is a true person who has awakened the true blood of the Yinglong!

Such talent is rare even within the Yuling Sect, which boasts three hundred demon generals descended from divine beasts. Naturally, the Demon Emperor would not abandon a top talent for a dispensable alligator dragon.

"Damn it, I almost got screwed over by those brainless idiots who only have blood but no brains!"

Pu Lao, the demon general, cursed under his breath, his gaze toward Chu Xiu no longer filled with hostility.

Targeting a rising star who has gained the attention and favor of the Demon Emperor?

That's practically suicide!

Upon thinking of this, General Pulao's tone underwent a complete 180-degree change, and he laughed, "Who you are is none of my concern, as long as you are as loyal to His Majesty the Demon Emperor as I am."

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow.

Those who can hold the position of Demon Commander in the Spirit Control Sect are indeed no ordinary people; they figured out so quickly why they can continue to stay in the Spirit Control Sect.

"Of course," Chu Xiu replied with a smile.

The other demon generals exchanged bewildered glances upon seeing their commander suddenly change his attitude towards the alligator dragon.

Everyone present was intelligent, and naturally no one would be foolish enough to stand out at this moment and stir up conflict between a current demon general and a future demon general.

Indeed, in the eyes of the demon generals, the crocodile dragon is now like a great figure of demon commander level.

Seeing that the hostility of the group towards him was gradually fading, Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow and said, "General Pulao, why don't you tell me, is there really something important you want to discuss with me?"

Pulao Demon General thought for a while, but couldn't come up with a suitable reason to take on the task.

Fortunately, one of his fellow demon generals sent a timely telepathic message:

"General, this man might be able to lend you a hand regarding the matter in Yuming Valley!"

Upon hearing this, the demon general Pu Lao's eyes lit up. That's right, how could he have forgotten about this!

"Alligator Dragon, I have a request for you. I need someone with a high level of spiritual cultivation. As for the reward, I am willing to offer two Dragon Blood Grasses. Would you be willing to accept it?"

The demon general Pu Lao laughed and tossed a jade slip to Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu took it with one hand, checked it with his divine sense and finding nothing amiss, then crushed it directly. A request message immediately appeared in his mind:

"Enter the cave deep within the dense forest of Yuming Mountain, join forces with the Demon General Pulao to break through the soul shield left behind by a sage of the Earthly Sovereign Realm who is a member of the same clan as the Demon General Pulao, and help him obtain the sage's relics!"

After reading it, Chu Xiu pondered for a moment.

The so-called Dragon Blood Grass is a herbaceous spiritual plant that grows from the blood of a true dragon in the place where the dragon fell.

Ordinary dragon descendants who refine Dragon Blood Grass may not only enhance their bloodline power, but also potentially imbue their bloodline with a trace of true dragon power, increasing the possibility of awakening true dragon bloodline in the future.

For Chu Xiu, who already possesses the body of an Yinglong, consuming dragon blood grass can only help him condense the essence of Yinglong blood as a reserve energy source.

Although it's useless to Chu Xiu himself, it's extremely effective at winning people's hearts.

After all, not everyone has such a miraculous encounter as Chu Xiu.

A single Dragon Blood Grass was enough to cause three thousand demon generals to fight tooth and nail for it.

Chu Xiu looked at the demon general Pu Lao and smiled slightly: "I want five Dragon Blood Grasses!"

"You!" Pulao Demon General laughed angrily, "You brat, you really dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!"

Five dragon's blood grass stalks! What does that mean?

He served as the Demon General for five thousand years, and in that time he only managed to accumulate five Dragon Blood Grasses for future use. Even his most capable subordinates never managed to obtain a single one from him.

And this imposter dragon in front of me actually asked for five coins right off the bat!

"Unwilling? Then Commander, you should find someone else."

Chu Xiu shrugged and turned to leave.

The reason he dared to ask for such an exorbitant amount was that he was certain that no one would dare to accept the commission from the Demon General Pulao!

Something that would cost a demon general a great deal to obtain is bound to attract the covetousness of other demon generals!

Apart from Chu Xiu, the rising star of the Spirit Control Sect, General Pulao would have no other partner to cooperate with!

Just as Chu Xiu unleashed his demonic power, preparing to use his escape technique to leave this place...

Upon sensing his aura of power, the demon general Pu Lao was taken aback, and then quickly said, "Wait!"

"You've actually reached the Great Perfection of the Qiankun Realm!"

"Since you have this ability, you can definitely help me obtain that thing..."

Pulao Demon General gritted his teeth and said, "Five trees it is!"

He reached out and tossed two dragon blood grass plants to Chu Xiu.

"This is the deposit. The remaining three plants will be paid after the deal is done!"

The other demon generals were heartbroken when they saw that the dragon blood grass they had been craving for for thousands of years had been promised to them by their own demon commander in the blink of an eye.

Chu Xiu put away the dragon blood grass without even looking at it, and smiled slightly, "General, you are indeed a straightforward person. I admire you."

Pulao Demon General's face darkened. "Still calling yourself a crocodile dragon? Why don't you tell me your real name to show your sincerity in cooperating!"

Chu Xiu laughed and said, "It's just a name, what's the harm?"

"My name is Chu Xiu!"
