"Elder Piaomiao, what exactly do you intend to do?" Chu Feng pressed for an answer.
"It’s not what I intend, but what you must do. This matter, from start to finish, depends on you." Fairy Piaomiao looked at Chu Feng with a solemn expression.
"Please, elder, guide me," Chu Feng pleaded once more.
"Chu Feng, do you remember the Sealing Demon Sword in the Valley of Evil?" Fairy Piaomiao asked.
"I do," Chu Feng replied.
"That Sealing Demon Sword is the weapon of the Demon Master of the Remnant Night Demon Sect. Since his passing, no one has been able to draw it."
"However, I have heard that before the Demon Master died, he said that whoever could draw the Sealing Demon Sword would be able to command the Remnant Night Demon Sect. And if I’m not mistaken, you are the one who can draw that sword," Fairy Piaomiao said.
"Elder Piaomiao, do you mean you want me to command the Remnant Night Demon Sect? And then use the Remnant Night Demon Sect to create chaos, giving me a chance to reach the Mystic Art Stele you spoke of, and cultivate the Celestial Transmutation Mystic Art?" Chu Feng suddenly understood something.
"Correct. I have a plan, but it requires overwhelming numbers to succeed, which is why the army of the Remnant Night Demon Sect must be at our disposal," Fairy Piaomiao nodded.
"But if this fails, won’t the people of the Remnant Night Demon Sect die alongside me?" Chu Feng said with a slight frown.
"Of course. That’s why I said this is an all-or-nothing gamble. We can only succeed, we cannot fail."
"Furthermore, having you command the Remnant Night Demon Sect is only one reason. There is another, making it imperative that you obtain the Sealing Demon Sword, and that is Jiang Qisha."
"Jiang Qisha. I have fought him. Although he is a Fourth-rank Martial King, his strength is definitely not as simple as when he fought me that day, because he never even used a King Weapon. So this man was certainly holding back."
"Even if your combat prowess is heaven-defying, possessing the same heaven-reversing abilities as he does, with only the means you currently wield, I fear it would be difficult to defeat him."
"But that Sealing Demon Sword has infinite power; it is the King of King Weapons in our Eastern Ocean Region. After you refine my Celestial Transmutation Inheritance Pearl, if you take the Sealing Demon Sword and fight Jiang Qisha again, your chances of victory will be greater," Fairy Piaomiao said.
"Elder, I understand what you mean. Back in the Valley of Evil, I saw their method of breaking the array, so obtaining the Sealing Demon Sword shouldn’t be too difficult. However, commanding the Remnant Night Demon Sect, I’m afraid, won’t be so easy."
"Especially once the news spreads that my Fairy Piaomiao Peak has been seized by the Immortal Execution Archipelago and the Three Great Monster Races, the Remnant Night Demon Sect, no matter how deep their grudge with the Immortal Execution Archipelago, probably wouldn’t dare to clash head-on with them again."
"So, if I want to command the Remnant Night Demon Sect, I’m afraid I must first rescue my Master," Chu Feng said.
"Rescue your Master? What happened to Qiu Canfeng?" Hearing this, Fairy Piaomiao was taken aback. In truth, she had also wanted Chu Feng’s Master to step in and help him take control of the Remnant Night Demon Sect, but clearly, she did not yet know that Qiu Canfeng was trapped.
"Mother, the situation was urgent that day, and I forgot to tell you. Actually, Qiu Canfeng has long been..." Seeing this, Autumn Water, who knew the truth, quickly recounted to Fairy Piaomiao how Qiu Canfeng was currently trapped on the Nine Provinces Continent.
"I didn’t expect Qiu Canfeng to be so tenacious, surviving in such a dangerous Imperial Tomb. But Chu Feng, don’t worry. If, as you say, Fu Liansheng’s strength was enough to rescue your Master, then we, right now, should also be able to rescue him completely." As she spoke, Fairy Piaomiao turned her gaze toward Taikou.
Taikou was already prepared and thumped his chest in assurance. "Don’t worry, leave this matter to me."
Once it was decided, Chu Feng initially thought it would be enough to go with just the two of them, Taikou and himself, to the Nine Provinces Continent. But after much deliberation, to ensure everything went smoothly, he decided that all four should travel together and leave the Eastern Ocean Region as a group.
