Chapter 1801: Shadow Fat Intolerant

Additionally, I’ve dispatched people to fully monitor the movements in the Western Divine Region, particularly those of the Dragon God Realm. However, what’s somewhat strange is that there are no signs of a large-scale mobilization from the Dragon God Realm, which is rather peculiar.

“Ordinarily, even with the Dragon Monarch absent from the realm, they shouldn’t remain indifferent to such a significant event.” Cang Shitian voiced his doubts and insights, unreservedly demonstrating his capabilities and loyalty to Yun Che.

After speaking, he secretly observed Yun Che’s reaction, but found his expression barely changed.

With a shift in thought, he continued, “Devil Master, the quietness of the Dragon God Realm is unsettling. I will immediately deploy all my hidden informants in the Western Divine Region to monitor any movements from there. Furthermore, while fulfilling all the Devil Master’s commands, the Azure Sea Realm will also begin preparing resources and forces. Whenever the war with the Dragon God Realm erupts, the Azure Sea Realm will offer its full assistance to the Devil Master without reservation.”

“You?” Yun Che glanced at him, letting out a low snort. “No need. Whether it’s the Southern Divine Region or the Eastern Divine Region, just stay put obediently and don’t stab me in the back. As for assistance, I, the Devil Master, have no desire for it. Especially not from your Azure Sea Realm.”

The Eastern Divine Region had been swept clean, and the Southern Divine Region suppressed. When facing the final war with the Western Divine Region, they would no longer pose an obstacle. However, as for assistance—the only usable King Realm in the Eastern Divine Region was the Brahma Monarch God Realm, controlled by Qianye Ying’er, and perhaps the Star God Realm; other high-rank Star Realms were few. The Southern Divine Region had none suitable for use. After trampling and destruction, what remained was not only submission and fear, but also resentment and unwillingness. Assimilating the Star Realms of the Eastern and Southern Divine Regions into his own strength would require a very long time; at the very least, it was utterly impossible to achieve before the war with the Western Divine Region. Forcibly pushing them into battle would instead create the greatest instability, risking betrayal at any moment. At most, they could be used as cannon fodder. Ultimately, the war against the Western Divine Region still had to rely on his own strength.

Cang Shitian’s expression became solemn, and he quickly knelt on one knee. “Devil Master! While it is true that the power of other realms is not beneficial to use, Shitian’s loyalty to the Devil Master is evident to heaven and earth. If the Devil Master is uneasy, Shitian can swear a poisonous oath here…”

“Poisonous oath? No need.” Yun Che’s lips curved into a fleeting, contemptuous sneer. “There is nothing cheaper or viler in this world. You only need to be obedient and do your job well. Once the Western Divine Region is consolidated, I, the Devil Master, said I would spare you, and I will keep my word.”

“Yes, yes,” Cang Shitian quickly responded. “Shitian will certainly not disappoint the Devil Master. I will also keep people monitoring Xuanyuan and Ziwei, and if there are any signs of disloyalty or unusual activity, I will report them to the Devil Master immediately.”

At this moment, Yun Che’s brow twitched slightly. With a wave of his finger, a round bead emitting an eerie black light appeared, unfolding a formidable sound transmission profound formation. Perceiving the power level of this formation, Cang Shitian immediately concluded that it was an ultra-high-grade sound transmission profound formation capable of inter-regional communication. He promptly said, “Shitian will take his leave. Should the Devil Master have any commands, please summon me at any time.” After speaking, he quickly retreated, maintaining a respectful posture without a flaw, even after leaving the royal hall and flying a considerable distance away.

Qianye Ying’er gently pushed her hand, swiftly setting up a soundproof barrier. The sound transmission profound formation in front of Yun Che also activated.

The voice of the Eighth Deviless, Yuwu, came through from within: “Reporting to the Devil Master, the Dragon God Realm’s attention has been successfully drawn northwards, and all their core forces have begun to secretly relocate south. The first few days will not be too swift, but within ten days, they will definitely arrive fully at the Devil Master’s location.”

“Excellent,” Yun Che praised. “Any news from the Dragon God Realm?”

“My Mistress wishes me to inform the Devil Master that the Dragon Monarch will return to the realm in two months, and within these two months, the Dragon God Realm will make no major moves.”

Yun Che, Qianye Ying’er, and Caizhi were simultaneously stunned.

Just the killing of the Ash Dragon God alone should have provoked extreme rage as the Dragon God Realm’s most normal reaction. Even with the Dragon Monarch absent, they shouldn’t remain “inactive” for a full two months.

“How does the Devil Empress know the Dragon Monarch will be back in two months—” Yun Che hadn’t finished his question when he realized. Chi Wuyao must have learned it from Zhou Xuzi, whose soul she had secretly ensnared. Given Zhou Xuzi’s power level and former status, he naturally had close contact with the Dragon Gods. Moreover, even if the Dragon Gods didn’t trust everyone, they certainly wouldn’t suspect Zhou Xuzi, as when it came to hatred for Yun Che, if he claimed second, no one could claim first. What’s more, this internal spy didn’t even know he was a spy. To be able to “stabilize” the Dragon God Realm for two months under such circumstances, Chi Wuyao must have used Zhou Xuzi to whisper some strange enchantments to the Dragon Gods again.

Interrupting his previous thought, Yun Che instead asked, “Since it’s confirmed that the Dragon God Realm won’t make major moves, why the need for such careful concealment in moving forces south?”

Yuwu replied, “Although the Dragon God Realm won’t make major moves, they also won’t ignore the death of the Ash Dragon God. My Mistress originally didn’t want the Devil Master to know about this, but she changed her mind just before departing.”“My Mistress said that the feint to the north attracted two Dragon Gods. She intends to meet them personally.”

“Which two?” Yun Che frowned. The phrase “originally didn’t want the Devil Master to know” sparked a sudden unease in his heart.

“The Pure Heart Dragon God and the Crimson Destruction Dragon God.”

The air instantly froze. Qianye Ying’er’s beautiful face changed abruptly, and she gasped, “What!?”

“Stop her immediately!” Qianye Ying’er said in a low voice. “She’s no match for Crimson Destruction… even if she’s Chi Wuyao!”

Qianye Ying’er immediately understood Chi Wuyao’s objective. The Dragon God Realm’s furious retaliation had hit nothing, causing a great loss of face and further enraging them. If Chi Wuyao were to use this opportunity to defeat Crimson Destruction—the Dragon God Realm’s foremost Dragon God, second only to the Dragon Monarch, then it would inflict another devastating blow to the confidence and belief of the Dragon God Realm and the Western Divine Region. However, Chi Wuyao had never truly interacted with a Dragon God and could not possibly fully comprehend the Crimson Destruction Dragon God’s strength. Qianye Ying’er, however, knew his terrifying power well. For over two hundred thousand years, the Crimson Destruction Dragon God had been the Dragon God Realm’s top Dragon God, but he rarely appeared, and rumors about him were scarce. In the contemporary profound practitioners’ understanding, the Crimson Destruction Dragon God’s status and power were thought to be below that of peak God Emperors like Qianye Fantian and Nan Wansheng. But Qianye Fantian had told her long ago that while he and Nan Wansheng constantly vied for the title of the strongest Emperor below the Dragon Monarch, there were two beings in this world whom he could absolutely not defeat. One was the Dragon Monarch, and the other, neither an Emperor nor a King, was also in the Dragon God Realm: the Crimson Destruction Dragon God! Furthermore, the Crimson Destruction Dragon God had not made a move for far too many years; his true power now had reached an unknown extent… even Qianye Fantian dared not speculate. In Qianye Fantian’s assessment, Chi Wuyao was “formidable,” while the Crimson Destruction Dragon God was “absolutely undefeatable.” For Chi Wuyao to face the strongest Dragon God, whose true strength she did not know, and who had hidden his power for over two hundred thousand years, seemed utterly unwise to Qianye Ying’er!

The drastic change in tone from Qianye Ying’er and Yun Che caused Yuwu’s voice to grow tense. “My Mistress… by my calculations, she should have already reached the northern border, and those two Dragon Gods should be… almost there as well.”

Yun Che stood up with a “whoosh,” saying in a voice so heavy it carried a murderous edge, “Immediately transmit a message telling her to retreat! This is my command, the Devil Master’s command, and it must not be defied!”

Qianye Ying’er’s extreme reaction alerted him to the high danger of Chi Wuyao’s current undertaking.

Urgent breathing sounds came from the profound sound transmission formation, and the girl’s voice was faintly tinged with nervous trembling. “My Mistress might… might not want to be disturbed… she isolated herself from transmissions when she departed.”

Yun Che: “...!!”

“Oh, right!” Yuwu’s voice urgently added, “Devil Master, you don’t need to worry too much. My Mistress isn’t alone; she brought Jie Xin and Jie Ling with her.”

The sound transmission profound formation closed. Hearing that Jie Xin and Jie Ling were accompanying her, Yun Che felt a little relieved, but his brow remained furrowed with persistent vexation.

“So worried?” Qianye Ying’er tilted her gaze, half-teasingly.

“…Even if it’s her, there’s truly no chance of victory against the Crimson Destruction Dragon God?” Yun Che’s tightly furrowed brows wouldn’t ease.

“No chance at all,” Qianye Ying’er replied without hesitation.

Over the years, she had gained a sufficient understanding of Chi Wuyao. Her most terrifying aspect lay in her unfathomable soul power; in terms of profound cultivation alone, she was still inferior to Yan Tianxiao. And Yan Tianxiao had only barely matched Qianye Fantian after being tempered by the Dark Everlasting Tribulation. How then could Chi Wuyao possibly defeat the Crimson Destruction Dragon God?

“However,” Qianye Ying’er’s tone suddenly shifted. Compared to Yun Che’s unease, she, who had reacted most strongly earlier, had now calmed down. “If it were anyone else, I would think they were overestimating themselves, being impulsive and reckless. But she is Chi Wuyao; she has never been impulsive or foolish. She doesn’t know the Crimson Destruction Dragon God that well. How much does the Crimson Destruction Dragon God know about her? Between these two, the one more likely to be arrogant should be the Crimson Destruction Dragon God. After all, besides the Dragon Monarch, he never truly regards anyone else. Thinking about it calmly, I’m now actually starting to feel a bit worried for Crimson Destruction.”

Yun Che remained silent for a moment, and his brows finally relaxed slightly.

Sensing Yun Che’s shift in mood, Qianye Ying’er let out a soft sigh… If Chi Wuyao saw him like this now, she would surely be very pleased.

“What about the Pure Heart Dragon God?” Yun Che asked.

“A Dragon God rumored to be pure-hearted, unburdened by desires, and seeking nothing,” Qianye Ying’er said. “She rarely appears in public; at least, I’ve never seen her. She’s considered the least present among the Nine Dragon Gods. But as a Dragon God, her strength cannot be underestimated in any way. Moreover, her ranking among the Dragon Gods is even higher than that of the Ash Dragon God.”

“Being pure-hearted and free of desires means it’s difficult to find a weakness,” Yun Che murmured.

“After your personal training, Jie Xin and Jie Ling are no longer what they once were,” Qianye Ying’er said with a faint smile. “Their minds are seamlessly connected, and their darkness flawlessly fused. Their combined efforts might give us… and that Pure Heart Dragon God, a great surprise.” She extended a finger, touching Yun Che’s chest, her fingertip gently stroking. “In any case, there’s no need to worry. She is Chi Wuyao; further worry is useless and unnecessary.”

Boom—A wave of air, imbued with heavy killing intent, harshly pushed Qianye Ying’er away. Caizhi was already standing in the spot Qianye Ying’er had just occupied, her delicate white face calm but with terrifying deterrence. “Don’t touch him!”

“Oh dear,” Qianye Ying’er slowly flexed her slightly aching fingers. Instead of anger, a mesmerizing, soul-stirring charm gradually bloomed on her beautiful face. “You can’t even handle this much? Well then, let me tell you, in just a few short years in the Northern Divine Region, I was teased and ravaged by him over six thousand times using various wanton methods, and I remember every single time clearly. All together, it might even be more than all his other women combined.”

Yun Che: “…”Caizhi: “…………”

“Oh?” Qianye Ying’er seemed to suddenly realize something, and a playful glint appeared in her charming, hazy golden eyes. “Judging by your reaction… Little Heavenly Wolf, as the Devil Master’s wife—who ‘bowed to heaven and earth, bowed to ancestors, with Jasmine as witness, and exchanged tokens’—you couldn’t possibly… still be a virgin, could you?”
