Chapter 881: Chapter 602 The Composed Ten Thousand Demon Hall Master

"Oh, protecting him to this extent now?"

Zi Xian rolled her eyes in a somewhat jealous manner. Given her age, calling Shen Yi a brat was still within her rights.

The other party wasn’t Qin Jiaoyang, the true leader of the South Hong Seven Sons, just a younger junior after all. Why couldn’t she even make a playful remark without it being allowed?

"Be serious, we’re discussing important matters."

Ji Jingxi chided her old friend helplessly.

Zi Xian might not fully understand the lofty status that Shen Yi now held in South Hong. Others might not speak of it, but if Senior Brother Ye heard someone speak so disdainfully of him, it certainly would not end with just a laugh.

But this matter was not one that could be openly explained.

Ji Jingxi directly moved past the topic, "Since the Western Dragon Palace is already on guard against you to such an extent...why don’t you just go back?"

Although Shen Yi had asked her to come and fish for information, this was also something that concerned her.

The power of the East Dragon Palace was indeed vast, but if they really angered the West Dragon King, with Zi Xian on unfamiliar territory and without support, setting aside life-threatening dangers, it wouldn’t be impossible for her to be confined for over a hundred thousand years.

"... "

Upon hearing this, Zi Xian fell silent for a moment, "Actually, it doesn’t matter much. You all have your own troubles now; there’s really no need to worry about these idle matters."

However, under the watchful gaze of Ji Jingxi’s moist eyes, she bit her lip, as if making a certain resolution, and finally sighed softly, "My father plans to accuse an Immortal."

"Hisss."

Ji Jingxi’s fingertips trembled slightly, and she instinctively glanced outside the door.

What on Earth is happening with Hongze now, to have yet another person target the Immortals... wait, why did she use "yet another"?

On this thought, the Qing Yue Sect Master’s face filled with a hint of a sigh.

Indeed, she just couldn’t pretend to be unaware. Earlier, at the Nanyang Treasure Land, merely from Xuan Qing’s complicated expression, she had already had an inkling.

With Shen Yi’s character, he must have promised Xuan Qing something.

And it was something so terrifying that even Xuan Qing, who could wine and dine with the East Dragon King, disdain peers in Northern Hong, and who had seen much of the world, felt an inner tremble.

Ji Jingxi kept her silence because she didn’t want to scare her senior brothers, and also because there was no point in speaking.

After all, judging from the current events, no one could shake Shen Yi’s determination. This seemingly young cultivator had a will firmer and steadier than any she had seen.

Her gaze returned to Zi Xian, "What do you plan to do?"

"Eh?"

Zi Xian looked back with a hint of curiosity. In her expectation, Ji Jingxi shouldn’t have been so calm.

But since she had already spoken, she didn’t intend to keep hiding it, and directly said, "Actually, it’s very simple. My father wants me to marry into Western Hong, to win hearts with the resources of the Eastern Palace, supporting Qi Zhaoyi as the Crown Prince... Why do you look so strange?"

"No, nothing, please continue."

Ji Jingxi felt somewhat awkward upon hearing the name Qi Zhaoyi, and quickly waved her hand.

She had almost forgotten, this Dragon Son was technically her friend’s husband.

Speaking more unpleasantly, Zi Xian had become a widow because of Shen Yi.

"Once this is done, I can take advantage of the situation to take control of the West Palace Dragon Seal. Then, with the East and West as boundaries, holding off Northern Hong, and cooperating with you Seven Sons to surround the Southern Dragon Palace, we can look for a way to slowly take control and successfully handle the Three Hong Dragon Seals."

Zi Xian took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "With my father leading, in the name of all beings of Hongze, we will write a petition to the Immortal Court to seek justice for the massacre in Hongze."

After quietly listening to all this, Ji Jingxi fell silent.

The Dragon Seal was not exactly a formally recognized item, not even acknowledged by the Immortal Court.

To the Immortal Court, the Four Hong Dragon Palaces were at most akin to landed gentry.

But if three Hong Dragon Seals were collected, it truly could represent the will of the majority of Hongze’s beings.

On the other hand,

If the Immortals of Northern Hong had been slightly normal, such a great killing would not have arisen in Hongze. Even now, it would not be the case that factions as powerful as the Southern Dragon Palace and the Seven Sects would clash in battles that go unchecked.

Compared to what Ji Jingxi guessed about Shen Yi’s plans, the East Dragon King’s strategy seemed much more reliable.

"Now, look at this."

Zi Xian slapped her hand and gritted her teeth in frustration, "Some inexplicable Ten Thousand Demon Hall has made a complete mess of things. Really, if my Eastern Dragon Palace finds them, we’ll have no choice but to ask my father to act!"

"Still no news at all?" Ji Jingxi was also somewhat surprised.

Despite the entire effort of Western Hong, they couldn’t find any trace of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, which seemed too absurd to be true.

Zi Xian sat down dejectedly beside her, "Anyhow let’s drop the subject. Let’s leave it to fate. So that kid...the Sect Master of Nanyang didn’t come with you?"

She looked up worriedly, "If the Western Dragon Palace can’t find the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, it indicates that the force still has some strength. He is impetuous. You should keep a closer eye on him."

After all, when Shen Yi snatched the Green Phoenix from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, considering the ruthless methods of those Great Demons, they would most likely seek revenge.

Hearing this, Ji Jingxi laughed softly and covered her mouth, "You still talk about me, but you seem to care about him quite a bit yourself."

"Tsk."

Zi Xian smacked her lips and said with a smile, "If it weren’t for you, I’d actually find the kid quite likable."

With An Tingfeng’s affair, Shen Yi had indeed helped her save face. Such capable young people, always full of surprises, and hardly any flaw to pick on apart from being somewhat aloof, naturally inspire admiration.
