Chapter 473
The mayors of the four cities first reported what happened in the Demon Realm to Zhong Xian, who listened and asked Xiao Xier for her opinion.
If there was any problem with Xiao Xier's opinion, Zhong Xian would point it out. If there was no problem, he would let her continue and patiently teach her how to handle these official matters.
Zhong Xian could imagine that when Xiao Xier grew up and became the Demon Lord, he would be by her side serving tea and water while she handled official business, fanning her when it was hot and bringing her charcoal when it was cold, and accompanying Xiao Xier all the time. Just thinking about that scene made him feel peaceful and happy.
As for Jizhi and the others, they were kicked out of their beautiful fantasy by him.
Zhong Xian was so beautiful that he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He laughed out loud from time to time, which made Lian Zhen and the others look at him with strange expressions, wondering what was wrong with him.
Ever since Zhong Xian began to strictly regulate the Demon Realm, the Demon Realm has had fewer problems. Most of the things that need to be dealt with now are related to the war between immortals and demons, such as combat readiness and defense issues.
In the past, the demon world would not have to worry about these things. The demon world was chaotic, without systems and rules. The strong were respected in everything. If the immortals attacked, they would just go up and fight. There was no need to worry about whether other demons were dead or alive.
But now it’s different. Now the entire demon world operates under the rules specified by Zhong Xian. More and more people come to the demon world, and many of them are ordinary demons who just want to live a good life.
Some humans also got lost in the Demon Realm due to some coincidences. They thought they were going to be eaten, but who would have thought that the Demon Realm did not require them to pay rainwater taxes, nor did it levy any immortal gate protection taxes. The taxes to be paid were much less, and there were fields to farm. Life in the Demon Realm was actually easier and safer, so they simply settled down there.
If a war breaks out now, the Demon Realm will have to protect these people.
Yu Xi listened to Lian Zhen and the others expressing their opinions, each of them excited and about to quarrel. She then looked at Zhong Xian who was holding her, and suddenly felt that the current Demon Realm was very similar to Qiuluo City.
Everyone is working together to protect this place.
As a member of the group, Yu Xi also actively participated in the discussion. The discussion lasted for more than two hours, and Ji Zhi had almost finished copying the big characters.
Finally, we have come up with a preliminary plan. However, there will definitely be problems when we implement it, and we will solve them as we encounter them.
After discussing combat readiness and defense, it’s time to talk about other things.
Gongsun Ming spoke first, "The Demon Realm has a very bad reputation outside right now, especially the Fourth Young Master, who is being targeted by the Immortal Sect. His notoriety is so bad that even the mere mention of him can make children cry at night."
It's just that when Gongsun Ming said this, his voice was serious, but his always cynical face was filled with admiration, and even his eyes were clear:
"As expected of the Fourth Young Master, his reputation is so great that even the immortal monks are jealous of him!"
Weren't you saying you were notorious one second ago? How did you become famous the next? Why are you even flattering me?
Lian Zhen glanced at Gongsun Ming with some contempt.
Do you want to change jobs?
Gongsun Ming pretended not to notice Lian Zhen's gaze.
Zhong Xian was quite pleased to hear that Xiao Xi'er was becoming famous. He sat up straight and asked, "What are the rumors in the outside world?"
"Now, rumors in the outside world say that the demons have taken control of Mount Chong, preventing mortals from ascending to immortality, and attempting to weaken the power of the immortal sect so that they can destroy both the human world and the immortal sect."
Gongsun Ming paused, then looked at Yu Xi and said, "The barrier surrounding Chongshan was set up by the Fourth Young Master. Therefore, rumors spread that the Fourth Young Master is a man-eating fox demon, vicious and cruel, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. The entire demon world is effectively under her control."
Yu Xi held his forehead with his hand, thinking that the immortal sect was really able to confuse right and wrong.
Zhong Xian touched his chin and said, "Isn't that right?"
Yu Xi:?
"Brother, do you also think I'm vicious and cruel?" Yu Xi asked with a smile.
Zhong Xian also smiled and replied: "Xiao Xi'er, fierce and brutal is a good word. For example, if there are foreign enemies attacking, if you send out that idiot Ji Zhi, the enemy will only charge more fiercely. But if you send out the super fierce Xiao Xi'er, the enemy will all be scared away. This is called momentum."
Yu Xi: I hear your nonsense.
Jizhi: "Sister is awesome!"
He didn't quite understand what Gongsun Ming and the others were talking about, but he knew they were praising his sister, so of course he had to support them!
Yu Xi let out a long breath and turned to look at Gongsun Mingdao:
"Besides me, what else has been spread in the outside world?"
Gongsun Ming, upon hearing Yu Xi's question, said even more respectfully:
"There are also rumors slandering the demon world, such as the eldest young master slaughtering mortal cities and sacrificing tens of thousands of lives for cultivation, the second young master cannibalizing countless people and being quite scheming, the third young master using people to make poison and making medicine men, and the fifth young master aiding and abetting the evil, killing people and setting fires..."
Yu Xi became more and more speechless as he listened, and almost laughed out of anger: "Are they blaming us for everything they did?"
Offering sacrifices for cultivation, refining medicine, eating and injuring people, killing and setting fires, aren't these what the immortal sects are doing nowadays?
"But," Yu Xi pondered, "These are the images of my brothers. What about the images of the demon world?"
“It’s also a mess.”
Gongsun Mingdao said, "There are rumors that most demons within the Demon Realm are starving and living a life worse than death. Some people who have entered the Demon Realm are presumed to have been killed because they have never left. The Demon Realm is still seen as a hell on earth by the outside world."
“That’s not a good image.”
Yu Xi turned around and looked at Zhong Xian, "Brother, we can't let them continue to slander us this time."
Qiu Luocheng was subjected to countless slanders at the beginning. Some people who were unaware of the situation believed them to be true and were eventually forced to become isolated and helpless.
Yu Xi did not mention Qiu Luocheng, but Zhong Xian could understand what she meant without her saying the whole thing.
"We should do something, but the image of the demon world is indeed difficult to reverse." Zhong Xian said.
The Lord of North City also chimed in at this time, "The Demon Realm in the rumors is actually what the Demon Realm used to be. Although it has completely changed now, the perception has already been established. Even if we tell people outside that it's not true, they probably won't believe it."
If he didn't live in the current Demon Realm, and someone told him that the Demon Realm was actually a good place to live, he would simply think that the other person was taking him for a fool and had ulterior motives.
Zhong Xian nodded, raised his eyes slightly and said, "So we need some help from outside forces."
He thought of Zun Jin's identity as the Human Emperor, but he didn't know whether Zun Jin was willing to help them.
He was thinking when Yu Xi said:
"Leave this to me. I'll discuss it with Zun Jin and the others. Besides that, some smaller sects in the Immortal Sect can also cooperate with us. I'll send someone to find them."
Zun Jin, Nan Lingjun, Song Yangtian, Zhuque and Song Rongyun all have a certain influence on the outside world. They can help each other and achieve mutual benefit.
Xing Lan said that Song Yangtian would soon follow Wu Mi to the Demon Realm, and then she would send someone to find Zhuque.
Song Rongyun and Song Rongyang, a brother and sister, are cultivators from a small sect. Judging from their situations, we should be able to cooperate. Let's try contacting them first.
If everyone can cooperate, we can better deal with the Immortal Sect.
