Weishan Miyin Temple is not far away in Ningxiang County.
"This is a crisis and an opportunity."
The speaker was a man with a thin face and a long beard and yellow eyebrows.
Standing opposite him was Hu Ruier, who was voluptuous and charming.
Since the battle of Chang'an, Hu Rui'er has replaced Pei Hui and Xuan Jue as the leader of the heretics in the world, commanding the heretical evil spirits of the eight celestial beings.
However, although Hu Rui'er is the incarnation of Pei Hui and has a high prestige among the eight heavenly beings, not everyone is convinced by her position as leader.
Especially after learning that Xuan Jue's reincarnation was successful, a considerable number of members of the Eight Heavenly Clans decided to welcome Xuan Jue back and make him the true leader of the left path.
Let's not talk about whether Xuan Jue is still willing to return to the Eight Heavenly Celestials who no longer have Pei Hui.
Even from a more practical perspective, this approach is not realistic at all - because not everyone is willing to return Xuan Jue, the arrogant "second in command".
Among them, the man with long beard and yellow eyebrows in front of Hu Ruier was the most determined.
"Huang Chao, do you think you can replace Xuan Jue's position by gathering some members of the Eight Celestial Clan?"
With a little disdain, Hu Ruier snorted to express her attitude.
As a great demon born by luck to gather disasters, he is destined to destroy the Tang Dynasty in the future...
After Huang Chao was defeated by Hui Ji, he had been hiding behind the scenes and never dared to show his face.
Hu Rui'er only treated the other party with such disdain because of Pei Hui's past.
Otherwise, according to Hu Rui'er's character, the first thing she has to do now is to kill Huang Chao and eliminate the possibility of him stirring up trouble behind the scenes.
"I never thought that I could replace Xuan Jue..."
"Or to put it another way, unlike you, I never consider myself a substitute for anyone."
Raising the corner of his mouth slightly, Huang Chao said in an unruly and conceited but calm manner.
"Be it Pei Hui or Xuan Jue!"
"I can do whatever they can do, and I have the confidence to try if they can't!"
As he spoke, Huang Chao suddenly opened his right hand, revealing a locust that exuded the color of blood and jade.
"This is the mother blood locust that I carefully cultivated. It is more terrifying than the locusts in the locust plagues in previous years..."
"Because it not only devours farmland and destroys mulberry seedlings, but also actively attacks humans and sucks their blood to grow."
His tone was so calm that it was impossible to tell that he was talking about something horrifying. Huang Chao just showed an inhuman and ferocious smile at this moment.
"I originally planned to wait for it to fully grow before subverting the entire Tang Dynasty."
"But now that Huiji dares to use Sheji as bait, how can I not dare to do the thing of subverting the dynasty again?"
Closing her eyes gently, Hu Ruier knew that Huang Chao's words were not a bluff.
If Pei Hui had not had the foresight to order Xuan Jue to take advantage of the situation and force Huang Chao to join the Eight Heavenly Clan before the battle of Chang'an, I am afraid that today's Tang Dynasty would not be as peaceful as it is now.
However, the outcome of the battle in Chang'an was beyond everyone's expectations.
First, Pei Hui and Xuan Jue died and were reincarnated one after another. Zhao Guizhen was also forced to give up his position as national master, making it difficult to find out his whereabouts.
If Hui Ji, who came from behind, had not shown astonishing strength and means, even chasing Huang Chao thousands of miles away, the Tang Dynasty would have already entered troubled times.
Even so, without the two great gods Pei Hui and Xuan Jue, Huang Chao, dormant among the eight heavenly beings, began to slowly lose control.
At the very least, Hu Rui'er didn't know beforehand that Huang Chao had gathered so many people in advance and wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to cause trouble.
"Did you just come to inform me?"
When Hu Rui'er opened her eyes again, she turned back into the cold and cruel "incarnation of the spirit".
Under this situation, Huang Chao had no doubts at all. If his next answer was slightly wrong, he would probably be unable to leave Ningxiang County today.
"No, this is an invitation!"
However, how could Huang Chao, who had already made sufficient preparations, not anticipate this?
He slowly opened the corners of his mouth and spoke in a hoarse and low tone.
"Pei Hui has died a long time ago, and the golden elixir formed by his soul and essence fell into Fa Hai's hands."
"As long as you can get that golden elixir, you can change back to your original self, and even replace Pei Hui as the new 'Celestial Dragon'!"
"Aren't you excited about such an opportunity?"
It has to be said that Huang Chao is indeed a great demon who understands people's hearts and is a giant who can bring trouble to the world. Every word and deed touches the sensitive part of Hu Ruier's heart.
"We don't need you to do anything about this incident."
"On the contrary, it's what we can do for you."
"If you feel that the situation is not good, you can remain neutral."
"But if the situation develops in our favor, you only need to intervene to hold down either Pei Wende or Qing Niangzi, and you will be able to have an independent self again."
Having said that, Huang Chao didn't say anything more, but stared at Hu Rui'er who was silent again with a smile on his face.
Because he knows well that too much is too little, especially for a "half-yang god" demon like Hu Ruier, who must have his own pride deep in his heart.
Complete surrender to someone does not exist in their dictionary.
Huang Chao just wanted to arouse the "rebellious" flame in Hu Rui'er's heart, and everything would fall into place naturally.
"It seems like an invitation that does me no harm at all."
Finally, Hu Ruier spoke after a long silence.
"Indeed, it won't do you any harm."
"If you advance, you can recover your golden elixir, but if you retreat, you can sit on the Diaoyutai and watch the development of things."
Hearing what Huang Chao said, Hu Rui'er suddenly laughed, and she smiled very brightly, as if she had heard a big joke.
"Haha! You are indeed the 'Demon of Luck'!"
"I'm afraid your eloquent mouth alone accounts for seven percent of your abilities, right?"
Laughter is a smile, talk is a talk.
But what Hu Rui'er said next made Huang Chao's heart completely fall back into his stomach.
"You took the risk to come here to find me this time, didn't you just want me to remain neutral?"
"I agree to this condition. I will not interfere with you calling for tribes to cause trouble, but you must not involve those tribesmen who are unwilling to get involved."
"This is my bottom line and my warning to you!"
As if to confirm his words, before Hu Rui'er finished speaking, the mother blood locust in Huang Chao's hand died without any disease and turned into ashes in an instant.
"This thing is too harmful to Tianhe. It's better not to be born."
