Book 5: Chapter 23: Who Does This Jade Pendant Belong To?

Bai Qiuran stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the cyan jade pendant in the boy’s hand was taken by him. He looked at it and then asked:

“Where did you get this jade pendant?”

The boy looked at Prime Minister Yun Kun on the side and did not answer.

“I understand, it was [cannot be said] too, right?”

Bai Qiuran put away the jade pendant and said lightly:

“But this jade pendant can only trade for one life, what about your own?”

“This jade pendant is his, not mine.”

Prime Minister Yun Kun got up from the ground and said while touching his throat.

“Enough, Prime Minister Yun Kun, this time you will listen to me.”

The young man smiled bitterly:

“Compared to me, the Demon Realm needs you more… More importantly, I don’t think the Lord Sword Patriarch will kill me, do you?”

“Oh? Where do you come from being confident that I will not kill you?”

Bai Qiuran tilted his head.

“Don’t tell me it’s because of your blood relationship with Su Xiangxue. You should know she doesn’t care, thus I won’t care either.”

“Of course I don’t place my hopes on the blood of the Demon Emperor. I don’t care myself, let alone my half-human and half-demon sister.”

The boy settled down. Bai Qiuran could see that he was a little nervous, but he still mustered up the courage to say:

“I don’t think you will kill me, it’s because if I’m alive, it’s more useful to you, or to the human race, isn’t it?”

Bai Qiuran looked at him without speaking.

“When the Ape King and Dragon King found me and we returned to the City Lord’s Mansion together, I found that you did not kill the White Bear King, but sat and watched him being taken away by the White Fox King. You are not just looking for the map to the Imperial Mausoleum of the First Demon Emperor… What you want is a demon world where the two sides are opposed, with heavy losses and unresolved conflicts.”

The boy paused and continued:

“Therefore, you need the White Bear King to live and let him live as the leader of the North Demon and the spiritual banner of the vast middle and low-level demons. At the same time, you also need me, the Demon Emperor who inherited the royal blood of the Demon Emperor, to live as the leader of high-level demons who opposed the White Bear King. Look. The class gap determined by the bloodline, unless violent means are used, otherwise, there is no way to solve it in a short time… Basically, in these few civil wars, you managed to consume most of the demon realm’s warfare ability. In the next time, the demon race has to survive this period of pain, and there is absolutely no way to produce a decent threat against Nine Provinces and Ten Lands.”

“Did you guess this by yourself?”

Bai Qiuran was silent for a while, and suddenly asked.

“No, I don’t have this ability yet.”

Cang Huangyu arched his hands:

“It’s just a combination of the plan left by Prime Minister Yun Kin and the various actions of the princess sister.”

“Well, what’s your name?”

“I’m Cang Huangyu.”

“Cang Huangyu, right…”

Bai Qiuran raised his hand and said:

“You exchanged your jade pendant for the life of Prime Minister Yun Kun, and used this rhetoric to save your life. Then, what are you going to use to save the lives of the two demon kings outside? You know, if there is a smart advisor like Yun Kun on your side, coupled with the monkey outside and your dragon cousin, the power comparison between you and the White Bear King becomes unbalanced.”

“This is the last map fragment, which will be kept and passed down by the royal family for generations.”

Cang Huangyu groped out a fragment of a map from his arms, and came to Bai Qiuran with both hands.

“Cang Huangyu is willing to use this map fragment to exchange the life of my teacher and Uncle Long from Sword Patriarch.”

Bai Qiuran raised Wise Immortal’s head and identified this map fragment. After getting an affirmative answer from Wise Immortal, Bai Qiuran put away the map fragment in the treasure chest together with Cang Huangyu, and said:

“The transaction is established, wait for our arrangements.”

Watching Bai Qiuran dive into the underground lake and disappear without seeing him, Cang Huangyu hurriedly walked over and reached out to support Prime Minister Yun Kun on the ground.

“Your Majesty, you shouldn’t give him the map to the tomb of the First Demon Emperor.”

Prime Minister Yun Kun gasped for two breaths, and then said:

“That is the root of the Demon Emperor’s Nine-Headed Dragon Bloodline.”

“What is the glory of the demon royal family? I don’t understand this. I’m just an illegitimate child.”

Cang Huangyu replied:

“I only know that the current Demon Realm is at a time of despair. Compared to the illusory Mausoleum of the First Demon Emperor, I care more about talents like you. You are the key to the rejuvenation of the Demon Realm… more than a dead man’s tomb. Much
