Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

A few days later.

Ning Fusang returned to Iris Land, where Si Xi respectfully presented her with an invitation.

She listened to Si Xi's report as she dismantled the device.

"My lord, this was sent by Yutang Pavilion. On the night of the full moon on the fifteenth of next month, Yutang Pavilion will hold an auction. It is said that there will be great treasures at the auction. I wonder if you would like to go? I will make arrangements in advance."

Ning Fusang lowered her eyes and scanned the words on the page, then asked in a calm voice, "What other arrangements are needed for attending the auction?"

"You don't need to worry about this. Just focus on leading the little demons of Iris Land to collect rare treasures."

Si Xi understood that she was going to act alone again.

This demon lord, as expected, still hasn't changed his mindset from a wandering demon. He's used to acting alone, doesn't care about pomp and circumstance, and is noticeably poor. All he does is send them to collect rare and precious materials or to mine.

Although he thought this in his heart, Si Xi showed no sign of it on his face. He said respectfully, "Your subordinate understands."

Just as he was about to leave, Ning Fusang suddenly called out to him, "Wait."

Si Xi bowed and asked, "Does Your Excellency have any further instructions?"

Ning Fusang's eyes flickered slightly as she asked, "Back then, I made a pact with Demon Lord Meixi to fight at Qingwu Mountain for a piece of land. Who has that land in their hands now?"

Si Yang:......

She spoke with such conviction, did she really consider herself the fallen Jade Belt Butterfly Lord?
"In reply to your question, sir, that piece of land is in the hands of Zhou Li, the strategist under the Demon Lord Mei Xi, and it is now his dojo."

"Strategist?" Ning Fusang pondered these two words, finding them intriguing. A demon actually had a strategist to offer advice and strategies.

They've certainly learned the ways of the world quite well.

Si Xi considered that the person in front of her might have cultivated in some remote mountain village and was unaware of these things that were commonplace in the demon realm, so she patiently explained:
"The Demon King's Palace has a strategist who is highly respected because of his high status. Other demons who are not strong in battle learn from that strategist and take the path of strategy, and they can also get by."

Si Xi, who considered himself to be quite intelligent, had thought of volunteering to serve under a certain demon lord, but unfortunately he had no connections.

He wanted to use his talent to secure this iris field for Dan Ying and prove himself, but unexpectedly, he stumbled upon Ning Fusang. Driven by extreme fear and the instinct for survival, he mistook her for the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord, leading to the current situation.

Si Xi dared not try to be clever in front of her, but only tried to be a useful demon, to help her solve her problems, gain her trust, and become her confidant.

Unfortunately, this demon lord doesn't seem to need many confidants.

Ning Fusang stroked the iris ring and said slowly, "According to the agreement, that piece of land should belong to me. How can I let Zhou Li benefit from it?"

"Go and inform Tieyi, Bailiu, and Danying that we will set off immediately to reclaim Shuiyuze."

Si Xi was stunned: "Set off immediately? Isn't that too hasty? Shouldn't Your Excellency order the consolidation of forces?"

He had never encountered a master who acted on a whim like this before.

Moreover, with all the birds out, Iris Land is left empty. What if some villains come to attack?
To sacrifice the Iris Field for a piece of Water Fish Marsh is truly a losing proposition.

Ning Fusang glanced at him and said, "You just need to do as I say."

"Tell them that if I don't see the three of them within an hour, don't blame me for blowing up their cave."

"Alright, go and pass on the message."

Ning Fusang did not explain the rest to Si Xi.

She is the true owner of Iris Land; who does she need to explain herself to?
Moreover, as the art of war says, speed is of the essence in war, and things should not be delayed.

Even the demons of Iris Land didn't know she was going to reclaim Water Fish Marsh, so Zhou Li would be even less likely to get wind of it. Besides, she didn't plan to make a big fuss; taking just three demons from Iris Land would be enough.

Before Zhou Li called for help, she had plenty of time to take down the Water Fish Marsh first. By the time everyone realized that Iris Land was empty, Ning Fusang could still return to reinforce it.

She wasn't the real Iris Butterfly Queen; she didn't care whether the Iris Land was lost or not.

Even if Iris Land were to fall, it wouldn't affect her much.

Her title of Demon Lord has nothing to do with whether she has territory.

The three demons, having received Ning Fusang's orders, had different thoughts, but still came to the cave.

Tieyi had a sour expression and was the least willing to see Ning Fusang.

Who knows what this witch is up to this time? He thought everyone could live in peace and not interfere with each other, but she's already causing trouble.

Dan Ying's eyes flickered a few times as she thought to herself, "Back then, Jade Belt Butterfly Lord and Mei Xi Demon Lord made a duel, agreeing that whoever won would own the Water Fish Marsh. However, Mei Xi Demon Lord perished, and Jade Belt Butterfly Lord disappeared without a trace. Since Iris Land's strength was inferior to Thousand Red Cave, the Water Fish Marsh had always been in Thousand Red Cave's hands. Now that this demon has impersonated Jade Belt Butterfly Lord, according to the agreement, the Water Fish Marsh should indeed belong to Iris Land."

She had no objection to reclaiming Shuiyuze; on the contrary, she was quite pleased with the plan. So she smiled and expressed her loyalty, "Your subordinate will obey your orders, sir. May I ask who you plan to send to battle this time, and how many troops will you lead?"

When Bai Liu heard Ning Fusang's order to summon him to her cave, he assumed it was because she had discovered his spies following her and was now seeking revenge. However, it turned out to be just about the Shuiyu Marsh, which eased his expression considerably.

Not to be outdone, Bai Liu volunteered, "This subordinate is willing to fight in place of you, sir."

Tieyi pursed his lips and remained silent. He wouldn't willingly work for her unless the succubus called his name.

Ning Fusang descended from the throne, her purple robes shimmering with light, breathtakingly beautiful.

This purple jade robe is indeed no ordinary item. Wearing it can both nourish her spiritual power and prevent the poisonous mist from corroding her skin. It can be considered a defensive treasure robe of excellent quality.

Because the precious garment was originally woven from purple silk, with a bright and noble color, adding any pearls or jade would lower its quality. Therefore, no unnecessary ornaments were added, and the entire garment exuded an elegant and tranquil purple aura as the wearer moved.

Ning Fusang looked at the three demons and said, "We don't have any troops, so it's just the four of us going on this trip."

Ironclad stared in astonishment, his eyes wide.

Is she crazy, or is she hallucinating?

A look of obvious surprise and doubt appeared on Dan Ying's face. "Sir, are you joking? You should at least take some of your subordinates with you, even if it's just a few..."

Ning Fusang interrupted her: "I never joke."

"Moreover, I am only informing you about this matter; I am not asking for your opinions."

The air grew colder, and Bai Liu was the first to break the deadlock, saying, "Your subordinate will obey your orders, sir."

Dan Ying clenched her fists and said in a forced tone, "Dan Ying obeys."

Ironclad could foresee that if he said "I won't go," the ruthless succubus would surely say "If you don't go, you'll die."

He held his breath and said, "Your subordinate obeys. May I ask, sir, when shall we depart?"

"Leave now."

Dan Ying: "???" So urgent?
Ironclad was momentarily speechless upon hearing those words.
