Great Love Immortal Venerate: Why are all my fairies yandere?

Chapter 400: 220. Mu Qianyan’s Predicament_2

The remaining Saint Heir’s advantage over the Return to Void ancestors then ceased to exist.

As such, Xu Yuan would undoubtedly need to come to her.

No matter how the situation changes, the advantage is always hers.

One could say that as soon as he stepped on the path of competing for the position of Saint Heir, he had already stepped one foot into the trap she had laid out.

It’s just a pity, if she had known this news in advance, it would have been better; she could have used this bait to extort a tidy sum.

…

“Competing for the position of Saint Heir?”

Xu Yuan felt it was somewhat subtle.

The timing of An Yulan’s request was just too coincidental, coming right before he might become a candidate for Saint Heir, which made him suspect that the other party might be colluding with Mo Xianxian.

But on second thought, he realized it was unlikely.

Not to mention Mo Xianxian’s pride and madness, it was almost impossible for An Yulan to have any contact with her, much less seek her help.

And just taking this piece of news, if Mo Xianxian knew it, she would definitely use it to “extort” him, so how could she possibly let An Yulan tell him for free?

“Are you sure that the opinions of the two Saint Heirs can sway the major direction of the Demon Sect, and stand against the opinion of a Great Divine Communicator?”

The one thing Xu Yuan was somewhat skeptical about was An Yulan’s remark.

The gap between Great Divine Communicators and Primordial Spirit True Persons was like the difference between heaven and earth, even if, within the Demon Sect, the Saint Heirs were second only to one, above tens of thousands, but the idea of the two grappling with a Great Divine Communicator seemed a bit too fantastical to Xu Yuan.

“If it were before, it would indeed be so,”

An Yulan gave him a mysterious smile, “but now, the situation has changed.”

“Oh?”

Xu Yuan looked at her, his gaze carrying a hint of seeking understanding.

“Junior brother, why do you think I just dared to reveal my identity right here?”

An Yulan smiled indifferently, “The situation is no longer as it was before; the Demon Sect is indeed the contested object of both human and monster clans now, but rather than letting it wait to be courted, both clans wouldn’t mind joining forces to eliminate them first.”

“Besides, why do you think the position of Saint Heir, which has been left vacant for thousands of years, is now suddenly being urgently sought to be filled?”

An Yulan looked at him, her words carrying a hint of speculation.

“Could it be…?”

Xu Yuan had already grasped the thread of the matter.

“So the Demon Sect is aware of the spies from both human and monster clans within its own ranks, yet even so, it still initiates the competition for the Saint Heir’s succession at this critical juncture. Doesn’t that mean they are doing it on purpose?”

Then, what is their purpose?@@novelbin@@

“They are assessing the combat power between the human and monster clans, as well as how much they are willing to pay to court them,” Jing Lixue said lightly.

As the former Divine Emperor, for Jing Lixue who grew up amidst the power struggles of the royal family, it was extremely easy to grasp the implications behind such events.

“So, whichever side gains the upper hand in the position of Saint Heir, the Demon Sect will lean more toward that side,” Tian Liuli interjected, unwilling to show weakness.

As an Immortal Emperor, although she usually didn’t care much about such scheming, having lived long enough and seen enough, she naturally understood.

“Exactly, this is also why Mo Xianxian recommended you to be the new candidate for Saint Heir and why it passed so easily. The Demon Sect wants to understand the strength disparity between both sides, so it’s not as stringent as before. Moreover, because of this, the Saint Heir that becomes chosen this time will also be given a lot of authority by the three Return to Void ancestors,” An Yulan said, “Besides, there’s another reason.”

“What?”

She smiled with ease, “A Primordial Spirit True Person as a Saint Heir may not be given much importance by the Demon Sect, but what if he only had a Nascent Soul?”

A cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm who could defeat many Primordial Spirit True Person candidates is undoubtedly an exceptional talent; no amount of attention would be excessive.

“An ungrown genius is just a genius after all.”

Tian Liuli glanced at her and said coldly, “You’re overestimating the value of a genius. Moreover, we’re in the midst of a crisis. Even if Mr. Xu displays his worth, the Demon Sect may not have the time to wait for him to grow. Besides, when comparing an ungrown genius with a powerful individual, guess whom they will choose.”

“…”

An Yulan fell into a slight silence.

She understood the implications in Tian Liuli’s words.

She was accusing her of exaggerating.

Indeed, she had exaggerated.

As Tian Liuli had said, an unrivaled genius who had not yet grown was a great temptation, but compared to a great cultivator who has returned to emptiness, the latter was undoubtedly more attractive.

“What’s most important is,”

Tian Liuli narrowed her eyes, a hint of murderous intent in her tone, “don’t tell me you’re unaware of Mr. Xu’s identity as an Outer Domain Demon?”

In her view, no matter how flowery An Yulan’s words were, they could not compare to his safety.

As long as he didn’t reveal his identity publicly, it was still fine, but once he did, if both humans and demons pressed him, the Demon Sect would certainly not offend both parties just for his sake under the pressure of two major powers.

At that time, it would indeed be a case of losing the wife and the soldiers.

“All right, Liuli, I know you mean well for me, but no matter what, Mu Qianyan is my master, and she helped us during the battle in Dawn City. I can’t ignore her,” Xu Yuan said.

Tian Liuli fell silent for a moment and then spoke slowly.

She stared into his eyes, “Don’t forget the agreement you made with me before, to live in seclusion. Allowing you to join the Demon Sect was already a concession on my part.”

“I hold the same opinion,” Jing Lixue spoke up, her tone very calm, “You are indeed underestimating the significance of Mu Qianyan. With the backing of the Heavenly Dao Sect, unrivaled below the Primordial Spirit, and capable of battling those in the Return to Void, it’s not so simple. I believe she can handle it on her own.”

Besides being worried about the dangers Xu Yuan might encounter, she had another motive.

That was through Mo Xianxian’s early actions of having him join the Demon Sect, she had confirmed her goal was also to get him involved in this scramble for the Saint Heir.

Therefore, the more the other party wanted to do something, the less she could allow them to get what they wanted.

She always felt that Mo Xianxian seemed to be brewing a conspiracy, but that conspiracy had not even shown the tip of the iceberg so far.

Liu Ruoxue fell silent for awhile, but then she moved to his side.

With her fingers curling her hair, Lin Qingque thought for a moment and then appeared behind him.

Clearly, both of them chose to support his opinion.

Seeing the two of them with their unyielding expressions, Xu Yuan sighed lightly and made a concession, “How about this, I will disguise myself with a new identity and then join. That should suffice, right? As long as I maintain my disguise well and don’t reveal it, that will do.”

“But, once you’ve lost spells like Divine Wind Fiend Immortal Skills, are you sure you can defeat those Primordial Spirit True Persons?”

Tian Liuli was well aware of his abilities. Not using Nine Heavens Fiend Spells would indeed help him conceal his identity, but that was also tantamount to tying his own hands. Without his ability to turn magic into decay with Divine Wind Fiend Immortal Skills, could Xu Yuan really contend with that group of Primordial Spirit True Persons?

“Don’t you trust me?”

Xu Yuan smiled faintly, “These days, I have not been doing nothing.”

“Oh?”

“Let’s do this, if I lose during this process or if I use my previous spells and magical treasures, leading to being recognized, I will immediately leave the stage and concede defeat. How about that?”

“…”

The two fell into a long contemplation.
