I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1316: Chapter 508: Chen Mo Must Die! Reunion of Sisters!

"Grandmaster?"

Upon hearing this, the man in black showed surprise in his eyes and looked seriously at Jiang Wangye.

Only then did he realize Jiang Wangye’s aura was deep and unfathomable, as if shrouded in a layer of mist, beyond his depth, indicating that his realm was at least above that of a Harmonized Daoist!

As a direct descendant of the Jiang Family, Jiang Wangye had good talent, but after all, he was still too young, with strength on the same level as the Qingyun Ten Masters. Now, he silently broke through to a Grandmaster, which was just too fast...

Intuition told him that this young man, who seemed like a frail scholar, was full of oddities, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

"Uncle Wan Qi has sharp eyes." Jiang Wangye waved his folding fan and said with a smile, "Recently, I had the fortune of a breakthrough and barely reached the Third-Level of the Celestial Human Realm. I’m still far behind compared to everyone here."

Faced with Jiang Wangye’s praise, Wanqi Shuofeng remained unmoved, his burly figure like an iron tower, exuding strong pressure, and he said coldly, "In terms of seniority, you don’t even qualify to speak with me. But since your lineage has seized the sect authority and you’re now the Jiang Family’s spokesperson, it’s only out of respect for the Four Symbols Order that I’ve sat here this long. Don’t test my patience..."

"Uncle, please don’t be hasty," Jiang Wangye said. "I understand that your blood brother was killed, his body left unburied. The most urgent matter now is to avenge him..."

The Wan Qi Family sent elite forces to explore the Qingzhou Secret Realm, but they were all killed, and even Wanqi Kai, as the legitimate heir, didn’t make it out alive!

You should know, Wanqi Kai was not only a First Grade Grandmaster, but he also comprehended the "Heavy Earth" Law. Unless faced with an Ultimate Venerable, almost no one could harm him, yet he was easily slain by a mere child in full view!

If this matter isn’t resolved, as his elder brother, how could he gain the respect of others?

Wanqi Shuofeng slightly raised his eyelids, his gaze sharp as a knife, "What exactly do you want to say?"

"What I want to say is, your enemy is also my enemy," Jiang Wangye turned to the man in black and said, "The same goes for the Qi Family. From what I understand, the Southern Border was lost, Qi Lianshan died, all because of Chen Mo..."

Upon hearing this name, Qi Kaihai’s eyebrows twitched as he clenched his hands tightly within his sleeves.

Qi Lianshan was not only the Qi Family’s eldest legitimate son but also the heir apparent. Having followed the Emperor closely for many years, he was a crucial link between Imperial Power and the nobility.

His sudden death caused turmoil throughout the family, and coupled with the exposure of the Southern Border plans, years of efforts fell apart, making the hidden "Hidden Clan" sense danger.

The storm is coming!

"Including the Sikong family..."

"Despite such thorough preparation for the Qingzhou expedition, you still returned empty-handed, leaving all benefits to this Chen Mo. Are you really willing to hand over such opportunities?"

Jiang Wangye snapped his folding fan shut with a "snap" and lowered his voice, "You could say, Chen Mo’s existence has already shaken the foundations of the noble families. He carries great destiny, invincible fortune. Now he’s already at the Second Grade of the Heavenly Person, becoming an Ultimate Venerable is only a matter of time! If you don’t act quickly, it will truly be too late to deal with him!"

Wanqi Shuofeng frowned secretly.

Revenge is a must, but the person isn’t easy to kill, or else he wouldn’t still be waiting.

"Heh..."

Qi Kaihai laughed mockingly and shook his head, "Whether Chen Mo lives or dies is of little consequence to us; as long as Da Yuan doesn’t fall, the foundation of the noble families won’t collapse."

"But it’s different for you."

"You are originally an offshoot that seized the main clan. Despite becoming the Family Head, your foundation is too weak, your legitimacy questionable. You fear the same thing could happen to you, hence your constant coveting of Chu Yanli’s military power."

"Now Chen Mo is a candidate for the Prince Consort, threatening the Jiang family’s core interests, but with the Empress backing him, you dare not act rashly. So you incite us to strike instead..."

"You talk about matters of life and death for the noble families, but in the end, you just want to use us as pawns?"

"Boy, do you really take me for a fool?"

Bang—

Qi Kaihai grew increasingly angry, slamming the table fiercely. The teacup bounced high off the ground and shattered into pieces with a "smash" when it hit the floor.

The air in the room instantly turned hostile and killing.

These words were extremely sharp and direct, exposing the Jiang family’s foundations outright.

But Jiang Wangye remained calm.

He knew that if Qi Kaihai had truly been furious, he would have left long ago.

The fact that he still sat there meant there was room for negotiation, and he was merely waiting for Jiang Wangye to throw in his chips.

All present were old foxes, the kind who wouldn’t loosen their hawks without seeing the hare—joining them couldn’t be persuaded with mere words.

He toyed with the Four Symbols Order in his hand, and after a long pause, he said, "What if I told you that Da Yuan is on the brink of collapse?"

Qi Kaihai’s eyebrows twitched, and he sneered, "What nonsense are you spouting? Although the Emperor is seriously ill, we’ve gotten through these years. It shouldn’t be a problem to hold on until the Crown Prince ascends the throne. The Barbarian Tribe and the Demon Clan are also cowering in their corners, afraid to invade. Now that the nine regions are peaceful, how can you speak of the country’s fall?"

"Enough, Uncle Qi, no need to test me. I’m sure you’ve also heard the rumors swirling in court recently."

Jiang Wangye’s words paused slightly before continuing, "I can tell you unequivocally, His Majesty passed away half a month ago. The throne now sits empty, Imperial Power shifting, and Da Yuan is about to undergo a transformation unseen in seven hundred years!"

?!

As soon as these words were spoken, the air turned deathly silent!

Wanqi Shuofeng and Qi Kaihai’s pupils shrank, their eyes filled with disbelief.

They had long caught wind of it and speculated that something had happened in the palace, but this outcome was far beyond their expectations!
