"Demon King?"
Su Yuxi chewed these two words softly: "You are really willing to give up for this fertile land."
The Demon King is synonymous with cruelty and power. From ancient times to the present, the human race has been living in the shadow of the Demon King, and it has been unable to eradicate this shadow.
These two words mean not only the shadow of 'evil' to mankind, but also the ceiling of the world's combat power.
Surviving in difficulties and rising in despair, the 'Devil King' is a powerful monster that has been passed down from generation to generation by humans, constantly resisting and challenging.
Under this endless shadow, human beings have stood up in the face of adversity, become stronger in the struggle, and have the qualifications to talk to the devil on an equal footing.
The establishment and survival of the Sky City is, in a sense, a victory for mankind over the Demon King.
But it was only a victory on the tactical level. On the strategic level... because monsters can also live in this special city, it was a failure.
But in today's relatively peaceful environment, the Demon King's coveting of the Eastern Continent is hidden.
For the sake of this vast and fertile land, to compress human power, to establish the majesty that radiates across the entire Eastern Continent, and to further seize the Sky City in the northern sea of the Eastern Continent, they set their sights on the seemingly glorious but actually internal and external troubles On the Xuanqing Empire.
They cannot take action directly, because this will prompt all humans from different countries to unite. Although the wars with all humans in the past have always ended in victory, the losses in the battles have become higher each time... A heavy victory is difficult for monsters that have difficulty in reproducing. Not really a victory.
Therefore, the current method was adopted-let the Xuanqing Empire split and disintegrate from within.
This will not only paralyze other human countries that also covet this land, but also allow them to take over this land more smoothly after the successful split.
To this end, disintegrating the imperial family of the Xuanqing Empire is the key.
Once the unified imperial family collapsed, those who wanted to be kings and hegemons in various parts of the Xuanqing Empire would not have to worry about the infamy of "scheming to usurp the throne" or "rebellious ministers and traitors" and stand on their own.
The best way to dismantle the imperial family is not to destroy it directly, but to make the imperial family lose all credibility and make the people of the Xuanqing Empire no longer support the imperial family.
However...the King of Chang'an in the north established a royalist party and unswervingly defended the imperial family, making it difficult to advance this plan.
The prestige of the Chang'an Kingdom in the north in the hearts of the people of the Xuanqing Empire was too high. The imperial family supported by the Chang'an Kingdom, which protected the border from being stepped on by monsters, naturally gave the people a "reasonable" mentality, and they would not treat the imperial family Create distrust.
Therefore, disintegrating the Xuanqing Empire's imperial family is no longer the first step. The first step becomes to sow discord between Chang'an Kingdom and the imperial family or to allow Chang'an Kingdom to stand on its own.
After several years of trying, only the second way can be realized without paying too many casualties.
The dormant opportunity has come.
Her Royal Highness's most respected brother has gone to the Sky City. Once Su Yuchen is captured, he can threaten and manipulate her Royal Highness as much as he wants.
Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival reunion night will become the night of separation between her and her brother.
"Yes, Demon King." Yu Xiang said with a smile, "So even if the 'Fire Bearer' protects him, he can't escape."
Seeing Su Yuxi's unfazed expression, Yu Xiang raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"
She sat up slightly and looked at Su Yuxi playfully: "It seems that the one who protects your brother is the 'fireman' who is the best at defense among the five in the north?"
"Haha... He is powerful, but let alone the Demon King, has he ever won against other humans of the same level?"
"With him? Ha..."

Boom!
The lightning that tore through the night sky flickered and appeared, and amidst a burst of continuous thunder, the majestic raindrops suddenly evaporated out of thin air, revealing a vacuum.
Chi chi chi...
The hot mist rose, and the rainwater on the circular ground with a radius of three meters evaporated directly. In Su Yuchen's sight, between the twisted air, a little old man with a stooped back appeared.
Compared with the stormy night tonight, the old man's eyes and surroundings were as hot as burning invisible flames.
Like a small stove, it dissipates a certain amount of chill.
Su Yuchen looked at the eyes on the other person's old face. There was a flame, but in his eyes, the flame in the devil's eyes was just a few sparks left after the firewood was burned out.
A candle in the wind can be blown out by a gust of wind.
In his mind, information about this little old man has emerged.
Demon King Yanqi, whose identity is unknown, is one of the longest living demon kings.
Su Yuchen looked at him. According to relevant records, when Demon King Yanqi last appeared, the Xuanqing Empire had not yet been established.
Su Yuchen had already guessed the reason why he was standing in front of her.
In order to live longer, he reached a life-extending deal with some demon kings, and the content of the deal was to capture himself alive.
A hoarse old voice sounded: "Not a sage, but the ability to be invincible among great magisters is not something that an eighteen-year-old human can possess... Who are you?"
In human history, there is no record of someone becoming a Grand Magister at the age of eighteen.
"Su Yuchen, eighteen years old, is now a freshman in college. If he doesn't study well, he will go home and inherit the throne...a half-virgin."
I have had close contact with senior Tia's upper body, so I am not a virgin, but a half-virgin.
Su Yuchen took a step forward and walked towards the Demon King step by step, with a somewhat distressed expression on his face: "In order to catch me and threaten my sister, the Demon King came..."
Standing less than three meters away from Yanqi, Su Yuchen sighed softly: "Am I a little too proud?"
"Now let's look at this unexpected situation..." Yan Qi glanced at the corpses on the ground: "Fortunately, I'm here."
"Where are you taking me?"
"We'll find out when we get there." Yan Qi's eyes drooped slightly. No wonder without the protection of the 'fire bearer', with this strength, he could run away even if the sage came.
Unfortunately, I am the devil.
"You have such strength at such a young age. You were smart enough not to resist me and avoid the physical pain...Follow me."
Yan Qi turned around.
"Okay, respected Demon King."
magic--
Double the increase!
Double the increase!
Triple increase!
The realm of selflessness - tempered over time!
Blessings from heroic souls!
The protection of the sword!
The umbrella is like a sword, flat A - straight thrust!
Boom!
Mixed with roaring thunder, lightning completely illuminated the face swallowed by the darkness and rain.
Demon King... Good evening, old gentleman.
Goodbye, Demon King!
——
"Both you monsters and us humans have a subconscious habit of only remembering victory."
Su Yuxi looked at Yu Xiang, a smile bloomed from the corners of her mouth. At the age of seventeen, she was young, charming, and had a clear voice——
"He has never won, but..."
"He never lost either."
