Above all spirits

Chapter 338 Cooperation

At this point, it would be foolish for Hua Qinxuan not to know the deeper reason behind it.

The answer is self-evident.

This was merely a test by the Yang family against the Heavenly Demon.

The Yang family's gray-market businesses have always had a close relationship with the Demon Clan, with the Ming family being merely a secondary player closely following behind.

If the Heavenly Demon is weak, then the three of them can easily eliminate it; if the Heavenly Demon is powerful, Yang Tianxiao can also escape unscathed.

No wonder when the Ming family member and he were both in trouble, Yang Tianxiao prioritized saving the Ming family member. He had naively thought that the other party was just making a conservative decision.

So there was another layer of meaning behind it.

but.

Even though Hua Qiandao's reminder had calmed her down somewhat, Hua Qinxuan's hostility towards Gu Yun was unlikely to diminish.

After so many days in that dark room, how could a pseudo-innate master like myself simply laugh off this resentment?

Seeing the still cold expression on Hua Qinxuan's face, but no longer any killing intent, Hua Qiandao finally softened his slightly serious expression and shook his head helplessly.

"There is no logic in this world that allows you to kill others but others cannot kill you."

"We only imprisoned you for a short time. Don't hold a grudge. We don't have much of a feud with the demons, as long as..."

Hua Qiandao turned to look at Gu Yun, hoping to find the answer on his face.

"As long as there is no more war between humans and demons."

Hua Qinxuan did not experience much hardship.

She has talent; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to cultivate to the pseudo-innate level.

However, she has always lived in a greenhouse, pampered by others every day. Hopefully, this time it will change her mindset.

And Gu Yun.

Although one cannot determine age based on appearance alone, it is not possible to do so in a pseudo-natural age.

But Hua Qiandao's intuition told him that Gu Yun was not very old, perhaps not even a hundred years old.

Even though Gu Yun's behavior and actions don't seem like those of a young and impulsive person.

An emperor who was not even a hundred years old...

"You should go back to your sect first."

"I'll be there shortly."

Hua Qinxuan remained silent, as if she had been waiting for these words for a long time. She couldn't stay here any longer. In an instant, she transformed into a pink light and shot out, soaring into the sky like a shooting star.

Gu Yun watched Hua Qinxuan's departing figure until she completely disappeared before gently putting down his teacup.

I'm going to reply to all the points mentioned in Hua Qiandao's words.

Some words.

Just tell Hua Qiandao.

If this woman hears this, who knows what kind of crazy rumors will spread around it.

"Sect Leader Hua, isn't the War God Temple's token enough regarding the conflict between humans and demons?"

"I won't offend anyone unless they offend me."

"I can promise that the demon race will no longer be the one to initiate aggression."

The implication couldn't be clearer.

If someone offends me.

That's hard to say.

Hua Qiandao saw that Gu Yun's eyes were not unwavering. Having judged people for many years, he trusted his judgment and knew that Gu Yun had not deliberately concealed or made a fuss about this matter.

just.

As far as he knows.

Unlike ordinary imperial will, the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will cannot gradually increase its upper limit based on one's own understanding or experience in actual combat. The increase in the upper limit of innate imperial will is largely linked to the base number of demons. Without expansion, the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will is very limited.

With Gu Yun making such a promise, doesn't that mean he's not considering improving his own imperial will?

Would anyone really give up improving their Imperial Will?

Having access to the Emperor's will, Gu Yun certainly couldn't possibly be unaware of some secrets about the Upper Realm.

Enhancing one's imperial will is fundamental for any future plans to travel to the upper realms.

But how could Hua Qiandao know what Gu Yun was thinking? He had long since stopped focusing on the tiny profits in the lower realm.

If any being in the upper realm successfully transforms into a demon, they will be at the innate level. With that kind of quality, how many beings in the lower realm would be transformed into demons?

However, whether it will be successful remains to be seen.

However, Xiao Tian replied that all living things have their own spiritual sustenance. If one's obsession is too deep, it will naturally turn into a demon in one's heart. Demons in one's heart exist based on the spirit, and the gods and demons of the upper realm are no exception.

Although they have no soul, they can still enter the Dao through spirit and master the power of rules. This indirectly proves that gods and demons can be demonized.

Honestly.

Gu Yun even had a vague idea of ​​what it meant. He kept thinking that if the ultimate power of the spirit was the power of rules, would the soul and the physical body also have corresponding ultimate powers?

The Asura race holds the ultimate control over the physical body, while the soul...

Gu Yun thought of his golden soul.

But then he couldn't imagine what kind of power could compare to the power of rules, and the idea vanished in an instant.

In short, Gu Yun has decided to launch the development of the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Will in the Upper Realm.

"As for the resources you mentioned, Sect Leader Hua, if it's just about the exchange of goods, I haven't said no to a single one."

"What I want to stop is burning, killing, and looting."

"If we kill them all with one blow, then the demon race will be finished."

"If Sect Master Hua is willing, he can even set up a branch sect in the Demon Realm, which would make it easier to obtain the necessary resources."

"Really?"

Obviously.

Hua Qiandao was pleasantly surprised by what Gu Yun said.

Based on the previous practice of layering profits, the prices of goods that ended up in their hands were indeed quite high. The reason they hadn't thought of this before was because the Demon Realm was really too chaotic.

However, if Gu Yun were in charge, the feasibility would be much higher.

Gu Yun smiled faintly.

"of course."

Now that Yunyin has been taken out, and he has no other urgent matters to attend to, he needs to go to the Demon Realm not only for his own convenience in descending to the mortal realm, but also to resist the search by the Elf Royal Family. He definitely needs to go to the Demon Realm, and the Demon Clan will inevitably need to be reorganized. He needs to keep this force in his own hands.

However, it's impossible for him to manage the entire demon race on his own.

"What do I have to give?"

Hua Qiandao naturally understood that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"Cooperation."

"Cooperation? How to cooperate?"

“I will arrange one-third of the people in the branch you set up, and they will also help me maintain the security of the area within which you set up your branch.”

"this…"

Hua Qiandao was puzzled by this rather novel plan, but upon closer examination, it was not impossible. He could simply send people to adopt some of the special products of the Demon Realm to plant flowers.

On the bright side, this solves the problem of manpower allocation and also makes it easier for one's people to operate locally.

However, there are also many downsides. First, it might raise suspicions that the Hundred Flowers Sect has allied with the Demon Clan, and such rumors are difficult to control. Second, working together with two groups of people from different factions, or even those with prejudices, could lead to numerous internal conflicts of interest…

"Gu Yun, is it okay for you to call me that?"

"I feel you're not very old."

Gu Yun refilled the teacups for both of them and raised his teacup to Hua Qiandao.

"of course."

Hua Qiandao hesitated for a moment, then picked up his teacup and gently touched it to his lips before drinking the tea in one gulp.

"I initially feel there's no problem with this matter, but since it's a major issue, the sect still needs to discuss it further."

Because of the precedent set by the Temple of War.

To be honest, the pressure on the Hundred Flowers Sect is not that great.
