Holy Maiden. The demon experts eyes lit up, and his face filled with respect as he knelt on one knee.

Use your eyes next time. You cant afford to offend these people, said Sun Yige from beneath her hood, a sinister smile on her face. It didnt seem to match the smile shed flashed Ye Zichen, when she seemed so nervous, she couldnt even get a single sentence out.

Right now, the one in control of her body couldnt possibly be Sun Yige. It had to be her second soul.

This was the true Holy Maiden of the demon race.

Youre right to chastise me. The demon expert lowered his head. Once Su Liuer appeared, he knew deep in his heart that hed offended someone he couldnt afford to offend.

The instant Su Liuer fired that icicle, the offending demon felt death approach.

It was nothing but an ordinary icicle, yet it had completely locked onto him. He was a sky supreme expert, and in the face of danger, he could think of countless countermeasures. And yet, as the icicle drew near, he felt not even the slightest thread of hope.

Something like this was only possible when the opponents comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth was sufficiently high. Their attacks could fuse completely with heaven and earth.

Their entire surroundings were under their complete control.

However, only rulers could accomplish such a feat.

Could she be?

As soon as the thought popped into the demons head, he rejected it.

The nine-tailed foxes were one of the demons surveillance targets. If anything happened in fox territory, anything at all, the demons intelligence units would know about it and report back.

Su Liuer had ascended less than one hundred years ago.

Her appearance had shaken the entire Yao Realm, her bloodline was as pure as the Nine-tailed Foxes Sacred Ancestor and her attainments in Ice Arts were unprecedented. She was so dazzling, few could gaze directly upon her. Becoming an earth supreme, then a sky supreme normally took hundreds, if not thousands of years, yet she did it in less than three.

The day she became a diviner, she was crowned queen.

She was now second to only the clan head, the current Empress of the Nine-tailed foxes. She was the first of their ranks to be crowned queen.

However, despite her talent, it wasnt that easy to become a ruler. Besides, their intelligence unit had never reported anything about her having a breakthrough.

She was most likely still just a ninth-stage diviner.

Rulers represented the peak factions of their respective realms. The appearance of even a single new rulers could break the balance between the Three Upper Realms.

If she really had broken through, given the Three Realms current status, there was no way the Yao Realm would let the foxes keep it a secret. They would want to loudly proclaim her breakthrough for all to see. This way, they could encourage the common people of the Yao Realm and intimidate the other two realms.

But that icicle just now.

Holy Maiden of the Demons, just a few seconds ago, we were sitting together and chatting, but now youre standing against me, said Su Liuer.

Im truly sorry, but the one you were getting along with now wasnt me, but rather my little cutie. I wanted to give her a chance to breathe; I didnt expect to run into a situation like this. Sun Yige flashed her a shallow smile.

So thats how it is. I heard that the Holy Maiden of the Nine Li Clan had two souls in one body. It looks like thats true. Su Liuer smiled faintly, but her expression soon darkened. But you saw it too. He provoked me. Are you sure you want to oppose me for the sake of such a minor figure? At a time like this?

But hes no minor figure. Hes one of our demon races Divine Demon Generals. How could I not get involved?

When the Holy Maiden said that, the way everyone looked at that demon changed dramatically. Demons were roughly divided into four ranks: Warriors, Generals, Divine Demon Generals, and Demon Gods.

Warriors were the most ordinary of all, and they were generally earth supremes. Generals had to be sky supremes at the bare minimum, but they also had to rack up a certain amount of accomplishments.

As for Divine Demon Generals, they had to be diviners at the bare minimum, but the necessary record of service was many times more demanding than what was needed for ordinary Generals.

Becoming a Divine Demon General meant he was already one of the demons top experts. Divine Demon Generals almost always controlled their own vast factions, and might command as many as several hundred ordinary generals.

More importantly, Divine Demon Generals were on the same level as the other realms Divine Yao Generals and Divine Generals.

They were already qualified to participate in important conferences and obtain classified information.

That was why that demon, despite seeing Su Liuers icicle, was so sure of her cultivation and that she wasnt yet a ruler.

At his status, he had access to all sorts of information only available to the upper echelons of demon society.

But the Battle of Geniuses required that participants had become a supreme less than two hundred years ago. Becoming a Divine Demon General required a veritable sea of accomplishments and countless years on the battlefield. You had to contribute an enormous amount of the demon race to win such a title.

It was possible for a genius to go from a supreme to a ruler in two hundred years, much less a diviner. However, it was absolutely impossible to go from an ordinary warrior to a Divine Demon General in so short a time.

The demons were cheating!

Everyone present came to the same conclusion, including Su Liuer.

Youre having a Divine Demon General pretend to be an ordinary genius? Su Liuer sneered. That sure sounds like something a demon would do. Unfortunately, he ran into me. The Battle of Geniuses is only open to talents who became supremes less than two hundred years ago, yet youre having a Divine Demon General put on an act? This is going to cause your superiors a real headache!

The demons Holy Maiden laughed uproariously, her laughter filling their ears like a demonic incantation. Anyone who heard it felt their scalps go numb.

Youre wrong, she said. He is indeed a genius of your younger generation.

As she spoke, the demon wiped away his hideous face, revealing his true appearance: he was a youth, and still visibly immature.

Let me take this opportunity to introduce you all: this is Mo Ke, a just-promoted Divine Demon General.

As she spoke, the Holy Maidens expression filled with disdain. Do you think we demons are like the gods? Only gods would use such petty tricks.

All the God Realm experts present couldnt help but lose their tempers. This was slandering their entire race! They clenched their fists. If the person speaking wasnt the demons Holy Maiden

Anyone capable of becoming a Holy Maiden or Demon Son was the reincarnation of one of the last generations demon gods.

The day they received their type, it meant that they recovered their memories of their past lives as demon kings. Their cultivation would shoot up like a rocket, skyrocketing to insane heights. Every last one of them was unfathomably strong. Although the god race experts were angry, they dared not express it out loud.

Whats going on? I thought theyd fight. Although Su Liuer and the Holy Maiden were glaring at each other, they were still using their words. Li Hu watched in confusion. Based on what had just happened, hed been sure they were about to fight.

Phew! The workers sighed in relief. From their perspective, it was naturally best that things didnt come to blows.

At this point, all that mattered was that they didnt fight right away. Once someone from the God Emperors Manor arrived, the demons and yao could fight as much as they wanted. In fact, it would be great if they killed each other. That would reduce the burden on these ordinary staff members!

But why was it taking the God Emperors Manor so long to send someone?
