This was the first time An Lingxian held a meeting of the Nine Halls after he ascended the throne.
The nine palace masters gathered in front of the palace and sat in their seats. An Lingxian sat in the seat that belonged to the Demon Lord, looking down at everyone from a high position.
Two days have passed since she returned from the Immortal Desert.
It took her two days to barely repair her injuries, otherwise she wouldn't have held this meeting now.
"The Demon Lord is gone."
An Lingxian raised the topic of this meeting, but no one responded.
Hu Ling, the master of the Soul-Taking Palace, did not speak. Si Ming of the Silu Palace and the demon spirits of the Tong Palace, including Mi Chen of the Wei Palace, also did not speak.
They were all the beings who had personally followed the Demon Lord. Not only were they extremely senior, but they were also in the Mahayana realm, so they were fully qualified to ignore An Lingxian's words.
The reason why they came to this meeting was simply to see An Lingxian's attitude.
As for the other palaces...
The new master of Minghun Palace has just taken up the position. Like Tu Wandao, he was also supported by An Lingxian.
But in terms of cultivation, he is not even as good as Tu Wandao of Jiudian Shame. He is just a rookie who has advanced to transcend tribulation less than a hundred years ago.
How dare he express his opinion on such a occasion?
Xu Changsheng, the master of Gong Cao Hall, and Mu Yun, the master of Mu Sheng Hall, just looked at each other and lowered their heads in unison, as if they didn't hear anything.
Only one person is different.
The Lord of the Punishment Hall—Li You!
She is the only human female cultivator in the Mahayana stage besides An Lingxian present, and she is also one of An Lingxian's die-hard loyalists.
Li You immediately stood up, and regardless of the positions of the other people present, he spoke without any hesitation: "I would like to invite the Demon Lord back, and I would also like to ask your Majesty to issue an edict!"
"I agree."
Hu Ling spat out three words casually, stared at her slender fingers, and smiled meaningfully: "By the way, you can find the Immortal Desert, right? How about my sister send you in?"
"snort."
Li You snorted coldly.
Just when she was about to speak, An Lingxian already spoke: "Xiaoyou, don't mess around, you can't go to that place."
"...Yes." Li You hesitated for a moment, then bowed his head obediently.
"I am not here to discuss this issue with you."
An Lingxian's tone was very calm, and his eyes kept scanning the people in front of him: "I am just informing you about this matter. As for what you want to do in the future, it has nothing to do with me."
"Today we are discussing another matter... Yin Hanshan."
"I'm here!"
The newly promoted Lord of Minghun Hall immediately stood up and knelt down on one knee towards An Lingxian!
You must know that every palace master here, not even Li You who is most obsessed with An Lingxian, has never paid such a courtesy to her.
"Plain body."
An Lingxian said two words calmly, and then turned his eyes to the others: "This is the new master of Minghun Hall, Yin Hanshan. You all know him now."
There was no discussion, no inquiry, just a statement, and the matter was decided!
Even though Tu Wandao was very hasty when he became the Hall Master, it was still a consensus reached after voting and approval by more than six Hall Masters.
But now...it all depends on An Lingxian's words!
The remaining eight palace masters frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure rising in their hearts.
But they soon discovered that it was too early to be unhappy.
Before anyone could complain, An Lingxian spoke again.
"In three days, our Demon Palace will officially march into Zhongxuantian."
"Different from the previous missions, this time we are going to resume our quest for the top spot! Bring the entire Zhongxuantian under the sect of my Demon Palace!"
"I hope that all the palaces will try their best to cooperate with Palace Master Yin in the allocation of resources and combat power, and other small matters can be put aside."
Three sentences are like three thunders, hitting everyone's hearts one by one!
March into Zhongxuantian?
Return to the road to success?
We have to cooperate with this little kid who has just reached the level of tribulation and let go of the ‘little things’ in his hands!
No matter which one of these three sentences, it is enough to make the long-dormant Demon Palace go crazy again!
Except for the passage blocked by the Juexian Desert, Zhongxuantian is the only way from Xuantian in the West to Xuantian in the East.
If the Demon Palace attacks Zhong Xuantian, the Immortal Palace will definitely take action, and it may even trigger civil strife and war among the human race.
The demon moon had just hung in the sky a few days ago. Even if An Lingxian had a 50-50 fight with the Immortal Lord Dan Jingsheng at the enthronement ceremony, he shouldn't be so anxious!
Could it be that I went to the Immortal Desert and received some stimulation?
If the demon clan seizes the opportunity of civil strife in the human race, God knows if there will be any shocking chaos!
"Your Majesty."
As the oldest human being present, Mi Chen was the only one who could ask: "The demon moon was hanging in the sky a few days ago, is it too hasty to march into Zhongxuantian now?"
"...It's a bit sloppy."
An Lingxian hesitated for a few seconds, then said with a smile: "In that case, let's send everyone from the Demon Palace to surround the Juexian Desert and bring the Demon Lord back as soon as possible."
In one sentence, it stabbed Mi Chen right in the heart!
Either, you cooperate with me to march into Zhongxuantian, or... I mobilize my troops to surround Juexian Desert and cut off the last trace of life of your Demon Lord Crown!
Although it was an immortal desert, the one who entered it was the Demon Lord, and An Lingxian was not sure whether he would really die.
But once the entire Demon Palace forces are mobilized to surround the entire periphery of the Immortal Desert, the Demon Lord will really lose even his last chance of survival.
Mi Chen stopped talking and could only frown.
When Hu Ling saw it, he had no choice but to take the initiative to speak: "What your Majesty is thinking is naturally not something we can understand. No matter what other palaces do, I, the Soul-Taking Palace, will definitely act according to your orders!"
"Minghun Palace respectfully abides by your Majesty's decree!" Yin Hanshan knelt down again.
Except for the Wei Palace, the other palace masters also recognized An Lingxian's order.
Some are because of her current status, and some are because of her current strength!
Being able to be on par with Dan Jingsheng, although his strength is far inferior to that of the Demon Lord back then, he is still the number one person in the Demon Palace in ten thousand years.
Now that the Demon Lord has entered the Immortal Desert, it is still unclear whether he can come out or not. It is always right to listen to this person first.
All the Eight Palaces have expressed their stance, but Wei Palace has not spoken yet.
According to the previous rules of the Ten Thousand Demons Palace, it no longer mattered whether he expressed his stance or not.
But An Lingxian still turned to look at Mi Chen and spoke deliberately.
"Mi Lao, what do you think?"
"Are you going to fight Zhong Xuantian, or are you going to pick up the demon king?"
"...My Majesty can make the final decision on everything."
Mi Chen still took a step back.
Before An Lingxian took charge of the Demon Palace, he still wanted to compete with him.
But it was different now. Except for Tong Palace, Wei Palace, and Kill Palace, the other six palaces among the nine palaces were almost all on her side.
Even the surface of the Killing Palace is under his control.
Coupled with his astonishing strength, Mi Chen did not dare to confront him head-on.
"That's good."
An Lingxian raised his head and looked towards the east outside the Temple of Ten Thousand Demons: "Notify me, prepare to go out!"
"yes!"
…
Almost at the same time, Dongji Xuantian.
A similar scene took place above the Nine Palaces.
Dan Jingsheng, who had never been interested in government affairs, also held a meeting. The content of the meeting was very simple and roughly the same as what An Lingxian said.
March into Zhongxuantian!
It's just that after he proposed this idea, there was no refutation in the entire Jiuzhongtian Palace. There were only gearing up and implementation plans of some specific plans.
After this order was passed on, Dan Jingsheng stopped participating in the discussion and looked to the west in boredom.
If my guess is correct, the Demon Palace should also start preparations.
Dan Jingsheng lowered his head and looked at his storage ring, his eyes filled with thoughts.
Since the last time he and An Lingxian fought for the first time, both sides sensed one thing.
shackles!
Both of them encountered a layer of shackles!
It’s just that this shackles are not after the completion of the Mahayana, but the shackles from the peak of the Mahayana to the completion of the Mahayana!
Since the fall of the Demon King, no one has reached Mahayana perfection for nearly ten thousand years. He and An Lingxian are undoubtedly the people closest to this state.
Both of them are geniuses, but the strange thing is that they are both stuck in this realm.
The second time was when An Lingxian ascended the throne.
Dan Jingsheng fought against her again, and this second fight made the two of them more certain about the matter. After the fight, they left each other's contact information to discuss how to advance to Mahayana perfection.
I originally thought that there might be no progress in this matter for thousands of years, but just two days ago...
An Lingxian said she found it!
The moment she stepped into the Immortal Desert, she was hit by the dragon soul. She felt the sky-high death energy pouring into the air sea. While causing her injuries, it also triggered that layer of shackles!
Death energy may be the basis for breaking through this layer of shackles!
But apart from the Immortal Desert, it is obviously unrealistic to find a large amount of death energy, unless...
Create death energy!
Naturally, Dan Jingsheng would not agree to this kind of proposal, but An Lingxian didn't care about this. She only left a message for Dan Jingsheng.
