Chapter 176 Bai Xi's Ambition

"A prophecy has been sent from heaven, but man will surely conquer nature!"

Bai Xi spoke to Feng Xiu with utmost seriousness and unwavering determination.

"What a remarkable woman! She truly is a woman of great courage and determination, worthy of being my granddaughter, Fengxiu."

"But, do you have my blood flowing in your veins? You have ambitions too, don't you? I see your ambitions, Xixi."

"But I'm not angry at all. Giving you the position seems like a pretty good option."

Feng Xiu sat down opposite Bai Xi and spoke slowly.

"I don't understand what you are talking about."

Bai Xi feigned confusion, but inwardly she was already a little nervous.

She never imagined that Fengxiu could see through her ambition and performance, and that she had seen it long ago.

Seeing that she wouldn't admit it, Fengxiu had no choice but to reveal some more details.

"The heirs of the first ten pillars of my demon race can actually be said to be under your control. The fact that you did not kill them is actually a way of planting hidden pieces, using them as puppets, and striving to seize the power of my demon race at the lowest possible cost."

"Don't wrong me, I didn't control your son."

Bai Xi clarified that she had never controlled A Bao.

However, this also indirectly acknowledges that he has already gained control over the other heirs.

“But you controlled Mendi, and you were more skillful in doing so. Mendi sided with you even earlier than Vasak.”

"Aren't you angry?"

Since everyone could see through her act, Bai Xi stopped pretending.

In fact, Feng Xiu leaving Feng Xiu in the Demon Realm was part of her plan.

The previous resistance was merely a show for Feng Xiu, something that could be used as a shield when necessary.

“I’m not angry. I’m just happy that you have such ambitions.”

Feng Xiu looked at Bai Xi seriously and solemnly called out her full name.

"Bai Xi, accept becoming my successor."

"To bring hope to the demons, to the humans, and to this continent you wish to protect."

Bai Xi seemed to have been persuaded by Feng Xiu, but she quickly put forward her conditions.

"If I agree, will you stop the holy war for me?"

"No."

Fengxiu answered without thinking.

Bai Xi immediately sighed and sank into the soft sofa.

"It seems like our talks have fallen apart again."

"The talks did not break down."

Fengxiu threw out the bait towards Baixi.

"The holy war has begun, and there are only two ways to stop it."

"What? Which two methods?"

Upon hearing that there was still hope, Bai Xi immediately sat up straight.

"First, Austin Griffin died."

"Secondly, he has become a qualified successor, taking power from my hands, controlling this war, and personally ordering it to stop."

Neither of the two methods proposed by Fengxiu was easy to implement, and the second method was particularly time-consuming.

Bai Xi was certain that the qualified successor Feng Xiu spoke of would be hard to become.

I'm afraid that even after being the Demon Prince for over 20 years, A Bao is not a qualified successor in Feng Xiu's eyes.

However, there was no better option.

"Okay, I promise you."

"I choose the second method."

*Long Haochen and the others returned to the Holy City. They could no longer hide the fact that Bai Xi had not returned.

The entire league was shocked by this news.

However, they couldn't blame anyone.

They've done a very good job in their line of work.

"Xixi is still safe. Her father has personally set off for the Demon Realm and may be able to bring Xixi back soon."

Long Haochen said this in front of many high-ranking members of the alliance.

But even he himself couldn't find comfort in those words.

"What? That brat Long Xingyu actually went to the Demon Realm? Wait! My precious granddaughter is still in the Demon Realm and hasn't come back?"

A loud, resonant male voice entered the council hall, but no one appeared.

"Tianyin, don't be impulsive!"

Upon hearing this voice, Alliance Leader Yang sensed something was wrong and immediately shouted.

"The Holy War has begun. Xingyu is gone, and Yulong Pass cannot afford to be without your presence."

Because of this sentence, someone who was also planning to venture into the Heart City was forced to stop, but had not given up yet.

"Xingyu has already gone to the Demon Realm. If he can't bring Xixi back, even if you go, it won't be of much use."

These words immediately provoked Long Tianyin.

"No, Lao Yang! How dare you talk like that!"

A flash of golden light appeared, and a middle-aged man with silver hair and wearing golden armor appeared in the council hall, his anger palpable.

"One more person means one more chance of success. How come I'm useless after I go?"

"I'm telling you, you can't just focus on your granddaughter! It's one thing if your granddaughter has your son over there, but your grandson is standing right here too, you can't just pretend you don't see him!"

"Haochen has done a great job this time. He destroyed the Demon God Pillar, which had not been destroyed for 6000 years."

Yang Haohan knew that the grandfather and grandson did not know each other, so he acted as the introducer.

"Haochen, this is your grandfather. He is also another Divine Seal Knight in our alliance, the owner of the Divine Seal Knight of Order and Law, the Divine Seal Knight of Control and Restraint—Dragon Heaven Seal."

"My grandfather? Another Divine Knight is my grandfather!"

Long Haochen was extremely shocked, and Sheng Cai'er and the others behind him were no less shocked than he was.

After the initial shock came excitement. She looked at Long Tianyin with deep admiration and immediately knelt down to pay her respects.

"grandfather."

"My dear grandson, don't listen to Old Yang stirring things up."

Upon seeing his grandson, Long Tianyin was naturally overjoyed and quickly helped Long Haochen up.

He glared at Alliance Leader Yang again, and said irritably.

“When did I say I didn’t see him? He was standing right in front of me, so I wasn’t that worried.”

"That Xi Xi is too reckless, she's really being unreasonable! How old is she? What level is she? How dare she venture into the Demon Realm alone? After that brat brings her back to the Alliance, he'll have to confine her for two or three years to let her settle down and cultivate properly."

Those who are not in your life are always more cherished.

Moreover, no one knows what Bai Xi's situation is in the Demon Realm.

If we were to perish at the hands of the demons, that would be disastrous.

"She's only a few ranks, not nearly as good as you. Xi Xi... she's just a minor eighth rank."

"I knew it! She's still so young, only... wait, what level did you just say she was? Didn't I hear she was level six?"

Long Tianyin felt like he was hallucinating.

The information he received about Bai Xi was not timely; it was still based on the time when Bai Xi entered Dream Paradise.

"XiXi had already broken through to the seventh rank when she was in Dream Paradise. After killing Andumali, the Sun and Moon Divine Snail gave its last power to XiXi, and XiXi broke through to the eighth rank as a result."

"She seems to be under seventeen years old this year..."

A mere eighth-grade boy, not even seventeen years old!
Could he then imagine that Bai Xi could become a ninth-tier cultivator at the age of twenty...?
