“Why are you here?”

Before Chen Chen even asked, the figure landed slowly and stopped in front of Chen Chen.

After asking the system, Chen Chen immediately understood who she was.

‘The master of the Heavenly Diabolism! She’s dressed in a black robe today!’

He didn’t expect her to be in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range!

‘No wonder he could sneak in quietly…’

‘She probably sneaked in for the Heavenly Diabolism communication token that I have on me now.’

The Heavenly Diabolism communication token had a positioning function which he was long aware of.

However, he forgot about it because he had come to the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range hastily.

“Who are you? I don’t know you.”

Chen Chen looked up at the sky with an innocent expression.

His appearance had completely changed now, and he didn’t believe that the Heavenly Diabolism master would be able to recognize him at a glance.

The Heavenly Diabolism master sneered. “My tokens have special characteristics, each one is different. Besides, you have that seal on your body. Have you forgotten about it?”

Chen Chen was stunned to hear that.

Even if he didn’t have the Heavenly Diabolism communication token with him, he still had the Adversity-Overcoming Seal on his body, thus making it a piece of cake for the Heavenly Diabolism master to confirm his identity.

“Your disguise is pretty impressive. Even I couldn’t tell.”

The Heavenly Diabolism Master looked at Chen Chen’s bright yellow neck, her eyes full of bewilderment.

However, it wasn’t something that she cared about, so she merely brought it up briefly.

“Chen Chen, what are you doing here in my demon territory? You even sneaked into the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range.”

Seeing that he couldn’t avoid it, Chen Chen had no choice but to smile and say, “I have a friend who’s subjected to unfair treatment in the Nine-Tailed Fox, so I came to rescue her. I don’t have any other ulterior motives.”

The Heavenly Diabolism master took a glance at Hu Xian’er and then at Chen Chen. She then recalled the two little demons and could not help but sneer. “Chen Chen, you really make friends with everyone regardless of their race!”

Chen Chen chuckled and said, “Of course, I befriend people based on whether they’re evil or good, not their race. Love is boundless. Ah, if everyone in this world is like me, there won’t be war.”

If he had met other Void Refinement realm experts in the demon territory, Chen Chen might have panicked.

However, he wasn’t afraid of the Heavenly Diabolism master at all.

After all, the Heavenly Diabolism master did not dare to do anything to him and may even have to protect him.

“Why is your friend trapped here?” The Heavenly Diabolism master ignored Chen Chen’s bragging and instead, glanced at Hu Xian’er.

Chen Chen told the Heavenly Diabolism master a half-truth.

On the other hand, Hu Xian’er stood at the side with her head hung low, allowing Chen Chen to do whatever he wanted.

After saying that, Chen Chen exhaled and concluded. “Well, my friend is a poor demon, she’s lonely and doesn’t have anyone to rely on. She can only depend on me. I plan to take her back to the human territory so that she can be away from the conflict.

The Heavenly Diabolism master remained silent for a long time, and the atmosphere gradually became more and more somber.

After a full half a minute, she said, “Hu Xian’er, obey my commands in the future, and I’ll help you become the next clan master, alright?”

Chen Chen was overjoyed to hear that. He knew that the Heavenly Diabolism maser wasn’t just asking a casual question when she asked about Hu Xian’er.

Now, it turned out to be exactly what he thought, but he didn’t expect this Heavenly Diabolism master to be so generous! She actually promised Hu Xian’er to help her become the next clan master!

‘Speaking of which, what is this Heavenly Diabolism master’s identity?’

Hu Xian’er didn’t rush to answer and instead, subconsciously looked at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen winked at her.

‘What’s there to disagree about? Just get the benefits first.’

‘If she makes Hu Xian’er do something bad in the future, we’ll just go back on our word.’

‘Anyway, Heaven will never help a crook with an Adversity-Overcoming Seal.’

As soon as Hu Xian’er took a look at Chen Chen’s bright eyes, she knew that Chen Chen was definitely going to shortchange the Heavenly Diabolism master. Hence, she nodded solemnly, her eyes full of resentment.

“Lord! As long as you help me become the successor to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and help me take revenge successfully, I’ll be willing to do your bidding in the future.”

The Heavenly Diabolism Master nodded slightly and said, “You two come with me.”

After saying that, she floated away from the courtyard and walked towards the top of the mountain.

Chen Chen and Hu Xian’er followed behind silently, and the surrounding demons ignored them as if they were invisible.

Looking at the back in front of them, Chen Chen asked softly, “Sect Master, who did you originally want to support when you came to the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan?”

“Hu Mei.”

The Heavenly Diabolism master answered.

A moment later, she said sneeringly, “But that demoness took me for a fool. She told me that she would support the Demon Courts and the Demon God Hall, but she secretly colluded with the Divine Dragon Clan, Heaven-Shaking Bear Clan, and the other two clans. She tried to please both sides so that she would gain more support in becoming the clan master. Hah, how can there be such a good deal in this world?”

Hearing the words of the Heavenly Diabolism master, Chen Chen suddenly realized something.

‘No wonder this demoness suddenly wants to support Hu Xian’er. She just can’t find a better person to support. Besides, after getting deceived by Hu Mei, she must be bent on finding someone who doesn’t have a strong background and can be manipulated easily.’

‘Hu Xian’er happens to fit her criteria.’

Chen Chen frowned slightly. Of course, he hoped that the demon race would have severe internal strife.

However, this matter has nothing to do with who becomes the next clan master of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan.

If the party that supported the Demon Court became the clan master of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, the core control of the demon race would deviate towards the Demon Courts.

If the party that opposes the Demon Courts became the clan leader, the core control of the demon race would lean towards the four demon clans.

No matter which party was in control, the other party would be indignant.

Hence, the conflict of the demon race will only get worse.

However, as the party that gets deprived of their rights, the four demon clans would resist a little more vigorously.

Hence, if Hu Xian’er becomes the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan master and supports the Demon Courts, it would instead put the demon clan into a more intense conflict, which was also in line with the interests of the human race.

Having made his judgment, Chen Chen’s gait became firmer.

At this juncture, the Heavenly Diabolism master said ambiguously, “There are always some people who like to treat others as fools and want to go back on their words at every turn. Hu Mei is one such example. Little does she know that such tricks are just like a joke in the face of true power.”

Chen Chen laughed awkwardly at this and did not respond but deep down, he had a certain judgment about the identity of the Heavenly Diabolism master.

‘This demoness probably has something to do with that Demon God descendant, she might just be the Demon God descendant’s best fighter.’

On the other hand, Hu Xian’er lowered her head, her gaze somewhat fearful.

The Heavenly Diabolism master’s aura was too powerful and unbearable for her as she could not help but feel her heart palpitate.

Chen Chen cast a reassuring glance at her and pretended to be relaxed. “Sect master, where are we going next? What are the arrangements?”

“Just follow me.”

The Heavenly Diabolism master turned around and glared at Chen Chen as she spoke coldly.

…

Soon…

The Heavenly Diabolism master led Chen Chen and Hu Xian’er to a certain courtyard that was large and decorated luxuriously.

Chen Chen released his divine sense and soon found four Essence Soul realm Demon Emperors in the courtyard.

Hu Xian’er’s face turned slightly pale, her face full of reverence as she gazed at the Heavenly Diabolism master.

‘The strength of this demon is too terrifying. She led Master and I passed so many Demon Emperors, but none of them discovered us!’

‘I bet an expert like her can slaughter everyone in the Heavenly Fox Mountain Range!’

Creak!

The Heavenly Diabolism Master pushed open a certain door and stepped inside the room with Chen Chen and Hu Xian’er.

There was only one fox demon sitting cross-legged in the room and cultivating. When she heard the noise, she suddenly opened her eyes.

The Heavenly Diabolism master put on a fawning smile.

“Senior! Did you come to see me for something?”

With a casual wave of her hand, the Heavenly Diabolism master closed the door and chuckled. “Hu Mei, you tricked me, huh?”

The fox demon’s expression changed drastically and subconsciously tried to cry for help, only to realize that she couldn’t move at all.

She looked at the Heavenly Diabolism master in front of her, her eyes instantly full of fear and a pleading gaze.

The Heavenly Diabolism master stayed silent for a long time before saying, “If you had known earlier, why did you do this?”

After saying that, she turned to look at Hu Xian’er.

“Don’t you want to get revenge? Kill her.”

The corners of Chen Chen’s eyes twitched incessantly while hearing their conversation.

‘Isn’t it a little too brutal to just kill your competitor right away?’
