Chapter 148 Conspiracy
Forcing a smile, Qi Xu looked at Ke Qi and said with a forced laugh, "Then let's discuss the matter of the Holy Land's ascension after your strength has recovered."
"Take good care of yourself and heal your wounds again."
Qixu glanced at Keqi and Dijue, then turned and left the hall. Kebu looked at Keqi, his expression slightly hesitant, but ultimately followed Qixu out of the hall.
"If the Nine Nether Demon Palace is fighting amongst itself like this, it will be impossible for it to become the holy land that leads the Seven Heavens Demon Palace. To fight external enemies, we must first secure internal stability. As the sect leader, you must make the necessary decisions as soon as possible. If you delay, you will only consume more of your own strength."
Fuxi looked at Keqi, and seeing the slight change in the expressions of Keqi and Dijue, he chuckled and left, disappearing before their eyes.
"What does Yuan Yang mean? Is he trying to curry favor? Or does he still want to be a fence-sitter?" Di Jue looked at Fu Xi as he left, his eyes unreadable, and asked Ke Qi in a low voice.
"I'm not sure, but it's clear that Yuan Yang isn't completely on Qi Xu's side. We can try to win him over."
Looking at the bright and clear hall before him, Keqi thought of the words Fuxi had spoken when he left, and a cold glint appeared in his usually calm eyes: "Indeed, it's time to stop this internal strife. Uncle Qixu, I'm sorry..."
Behind Tianming Peak, in a demonic palace, amidst countless surging dark demonic energies, Qixue, Kebu, and Fuxi sat on their thrones, their bodies surging with demonic energy, sealing off the entire demonic palace.
"The Nine Netherworld Great Heavenly Demon King is still largely under the control of Keqi. We need to be patient for a while. This Great Heavenly Demon King is stronger than me and Keqi. He is the foundation of the Nine Netherworld Demon Palace, which has been continuously refined by successive leaders of the Demon Palace."
"Wait a while longer, until I have refined more than half of the Nine Netherworld Great Heavenly Demon King. Then it will be time for me to completely master the Nine Netherworld Sacred Armor and take control of the Demon Palace."
At this moment, Qi Xu's eyes were cold, his face fierce, and his tone revealed a chilling killing intent.
The so-called Holy Land Transcendence is actually just a plan by Qixue to eliminate Keqi and Dijue. Internal strife would have a very bad impact and could also provoke opposition from many Demon Palace disciples.
Therefore, Qixu still wanted the Nine Nether Demon Palace to undergo a sacred land ascension. At that time, given his status as the sect leader, even Keqi would have to obey his arrangements.
When the Holy Land is elevated, Qixue only needs to send Keqi to face the Primal Demon Palace and Dijue to face the Seven Kill Demon Palace. With the terrifying strength of the Primal Demon Palace and the Seven Kill Demon Palace, Qixue can foresee that Keqi and Dijue, who are still seriously injured, will definitely have a slim chance of survival.
Once Keqi and Dijue are dead, both the Nine Netherworld Sacred Armor and the Nine Netherworld Great Demon King will become his possessions.
Although the Nine Nether Demon Palace lost two Taiyi Realm experts, it still has three Taiyi Realm experts remaining, which still rank it among the upper-middle level in the Seven Heavens Demon Palace. There is no need to worry about the oppression from the Primordial Demon Palace later.
As for if Keqi and Dijue were to defeat Fuli, the leader of the Primal Demon Palace, and Yushe, the leader of the Seven Kill Demon Palace, that would be even better.
When the Nine Nether Demon Palace is promoted to a holy land, it will be showered with endless honors. Even if Qixue wants to step down and give way to a worthy successor, the disciples of the Nine Nether Demon Palace will not allow it.
Even if Keqi and Dijue were unwilling, they had no choice but to submit to Qixu and relinquish control of the Nine Netherworld Sacred Armor and the Nine Netherworld Great Demon King.
Regardless of victory or defeat, Qixu could seize sole power in the Nine Nether Demon Palace. This was Qixu's plan. However, it was clear that Keqi had seen through Qixu's intentions and directly rejected Qixu's proposal.
With the Nine Netherworld Sacred Armor and the Nine Netherworld Great Demon King in hand, Keqi now has the confidence to fight against Qixu. On the contrary, Qixu, who had gained a slight advantage, retreated and dared not engage in a real battle with Keqi.
Fuxi looked at Qixu and Kebu beside him, who were plotting to seize power and refine the Nine Netherworld Demon King. His expression was indifferent, but he did not think highly of Qixu and Kebu's so-called meticulous plan.
The demonic path emphasizes absolute strength, not schemes and tricks. If Qixu had dared to fight Keqi head-on, with Fuxi's help, Qixu's chances of winning would have been much higher.
Although the Nine Netherworld Great Heavenly Demon King is powerful, it is not only Keqi who controls 60% of the Nine Netherworld Great Heavenly Demon King's restrictions. Qixu, as the current sect leader, has also mastered the remaining 40% of the Nine Netherworld Great Heavenly Demon King's restrictions through continuous refinement over the years.
If Keqi were to actually use the Nine Netherworld Great Demon King, and Qixu were to interfere, the Nine Netherworld Great Demon King would be unable to exert much power at all.
Furthermore, with Keqi still recovering from serious injuries, Qixu dared not take a chance despite such a favorable situation, which destined him to fail. Without such a willingness to risk his life, it would be impossible to survive in the demonic path.
As the previous leader of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, Qixu has been living in seclusion behind the scenes for years, enjoying the resources of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and his temperament has become weak and indecisive.
Such a personality should not exist in a qualified demonic cultivator, let alone in a demonic palace leader like Qixu who leads countless demonic disciples.
"Yuan Yang, after that, go to the Xuan Yin Demon Palace, meet Xuan Ze, and tell him..."
Fuxi slightly opened his eyes, looked at the sinister look on Qixu's face, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "I understand, I will discuss this with him properly."
"The Xuan Yin Demon Palace is the weakest among our Seven Heavens Demon Palaces, with only a sect leader at the Taiyi realm and an elder who has just advanced to the Taiyi realm. You must obtain Xuan Ze's help on this trip."
"No matter what he asks for, as long as my Nine Nether Demon Palace has it, I can grant it. Although you have just joined the Demon Palace, I already consider you my confidant. Don't let me down."
Qi looked at Fuxi, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
Fuxi chuckled as he looked at the warning on Qixu's face and said, "I also consider you to be the future sect leader. I will make Xuanze agree."
"That's good."
Qixu looked at Fuxi's peaceful yet indifferent smile and felt somewhat uncomfortable. Fuxi's smile was like that of Rahu he had seen in his early years—confident, arrogant, and indifferent to everything. Fuxi's expression at this moment was five parts similar to that of Rahu in the past.
"Ke Bu, you should go to the White Bone Demon Palace. Similarly, your goal is to persuade Bai Li that as long as he is willing to help me, I am willing to give him the twelve sources of turbid energy that my Nine Nether Demon Palace occupies free of charge."
"If he is still unwilling, then tell me, and I can give him the remains of a primordial god or demon to complete the flaws in his Twelve Yuan Chen White Bone God and Demon Array of the White Bone Demon Palace."
Ke Bu, with his white hair, changed his expression slightly. He looked at Qi Xu with some shock, as if he was seeing this sect leader for the first time.
