To be honest, after Chu Xuan learned the truth, he also felt a sense of disbelief.

As for Yao Yufei’s methods, he couldn’t help but admire her, even though they were on opposing sides, he still thought she was incredibly skilled.

She might not be as noble as she claimed, offering her daughter as a sacrifice to the demon fetus wasn’t just for Qingqing, it was also for herself.

This was a plan to kill two birds with one stone; it not only helped Yao Yufei secure the position of Sect Leader but also considered her long-term prospects.

Moreover, Chu Xuan finally understood why, when he used the Six Souls Banner to harm the demon fetus, this woman with such deep scheming like Yao Yufei would get that angry.

The demon fetus was related to her twenty-two years of meticulous planning, and if Chu Xuan unintentionally destroyed it, she would surely go mad.

In short, Chu Xuan was genuinely happy for Qingqing upon discovering she could control the demon fetus.

This way, not only would she no longer suffer in the future, but they could also work together in and out to escape the Demon Sect!

Chu Xuan secretly made up his mind; this time he couldn’t be as reckless as last time. Since Qingqing wouldn’t be harmed for now, he would wait until after the succession ceremony to secretly find her.

As for whether Qingqing would be seduced by power and refuse to leave with him, Chu Xuan believed it was absolutely impossible.

Qingqing was not that kind of woman, he was very confident in this.

...

In front of the great hall, the demon dragon played around lazily, seemingly tired and wanting to sleep.

Seeing this, Qingqing took out a small pouch, opened its mouth, and let it crawl in to rest, finally tying the pouch around her waist.

This action further proved that Duanmu Qing was indeed the owner of the demon dragon.

Yao Yufei looked at the Elder Shouxuzi with a smiling face, "Elder Xu, do you still have objections to my decision to return power to the Saintess?"

Shouxuzi was still somewhat unwilling, he gritted his teeth and turned to Ancestor Youxu, "Ancestor, are we just going to let her do as she pleases?"

Youxu sighed, "I’m old, and no longer have the spirit to fight so much. Both you and I have been manipulated by Yao Yufei, which means she indeed has the ability to be the Sect Leader."

"Although the Saintess is still quite immature now, with the Sect Leader’s assistance, I can rest easy."

This statement was almost equivalent to the neutral faction completely siding with Yao Yufei.

If Shouxuzi continued to fight hard, he would be suppressed by both parties and even be without a burial place.

For a moment, Shouxuzi felt the entire world darken, and his dreams and ambitions for many years turned to ashes.

Fortunately, he achieved his current state, his mindset and cultivation were not poor, so at this moment, he bit the bullet and forced himself to accept this reality.

Shouxuzi squeezed out a smile and cupped his hands towards Yao Yufei and her daughter, "Since even Ancestor Youxu has no objections, I naturally have no objections. Congratulations to the Saintess for regaining control of the sect."

Qingqing nodded slightly as instructed by her mother beforehand.

Yao Yufei sneered inwardly, for now, facing numerous outsiders, she couldn’t deal with him immediately, to avoid pushing him to desperation, leading to a bloody showdown on the spot.

But the reckoning afterward was inevitable, starting today, the Li’an Demon Sect could no longer have three factions!

Yao Yufei wanted this Demon Sect to become her voice, implementing her will from top to bottom, only then could she fulfill the arrangements and ambitions of many years.

As for Qingqing, she was naturally her good daughter.

Yao Yufei sincerely groomed her daughter as a successor, but she was still too immature, too simple, and needed to be gradually trained by herself to become mature so she could officially take over the Demon Sect and pass down the foundation for generations to come. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

So, let it start from today with the first step.

...

Seeing Shouxuzi compromise, the atmosphere among the disciples, which was previously tense, relaxed, and many guests understood that today shouldn’t result in a fight.

They thought to themselves: Today’s experiences are important intelligence and must be reported back immediately.

Starting today, the Li’an Demon Sect was going to change, and the sect, once fully consolidated, would be incomparable to before.

Almost everyone thought the succession ceremony had reached this stage and was about to end, expecting the Saintess to say a few words, but the main event was concluded.

Unexpectedly, Yao Yufei suddenly looked at a black-robed old man in the crowd and said with a smile:

"Mr. Chu, stop pretending, will you? I don’t remember inviting you to our Demon Sect."

The crowd was stunned, immediately looking at the black-robed old man; Mr. Chu? Could it be the recently famed Chu Xuan?

It’s said that this disciple of the Dao Palace made a big splash at the Hundred Flowers Feast, and in the Ruo Wood Secret Realm, evaded the pursuit of Blood Robe Old Monster and rescued people from the Purple Heaven Jade Mansion.

And that’s not all; recently, there was a rumor that Chu Xuan single-handedly stormed the Li’an Demon Sect and eloped with the sect’s saintess, preferring lovebirds over immortality.

Initially, the guests were puzzled, wasn’t it said that the Saintess eloped with someone? How come she’s here, could it be the outside rumors were false?

Now it seems, these rumors weren’t without reason.

Qingqing, who had always appeared indifferent, changed her expression at this moment. He actually came? Didn’t she tell him not to come... she couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly.
