Wei Chen was taken aback, confused. "Fake? What do you mean?"
Could it be that Ni Junlin and the Golden Dragon Maiden's feelings towards him were all a lie?
Wei Chen found it hard to accept, his expression darkening instantly. A sense of being deceived lingered in his mind, refusing to dissipate.
The Demon Lotus Emperor quietly observed Wei Chen's expression, his face turning quite strange. He struggled to suppress his laughter, but ultimately burst into a hearty laugh. It was just too funny; he couldn't help it!
"What are you laughing at?" Wei Chen snapped.
"I'm laughing at you being an idiot," the Demon Lotus Emperor replied.
"Fuck, you can insult me, but don't insult my character!"
"Is there really a difference between insulting you and insulting your character? You're really foolish. The Seven-Colored Devouring Python and the Golden Dragon Maiden are real, but their identities are fake," the Demon Lotus Emperor said lightly.
Wei Chen frowned and asked, "What exactly do you mean? Be clear!"
"It means that a handsome guy like me would never fall for them. In my heart, there's only one woman who is truly a peerless beauty. I have no interest in any other women, especially those inexplicable ones."
"But they all..."
"You believe them? Do you want to bet that I could control your spirit right now and implant a memory that makes you call me 'Dad'?" the Demon Lotus Emperor scoffed at Wei Chen.
"Are you saying their memories are all fake?"
"Of course they're fake! Do you think I'm an idiot? I chose you to become the Demon Lotus Emperor; how could I possibly bring my women along? They are gifts for you. Their combat abilities aren't bad—one is the Seven-Colored Devouring Python, and the other is a princess of the Golden Dragon Clan. They’re quite suitable for you."
After a pause, the Demon Lotus Emperor added, "Enjoy it well, Fellow. The Seven-Colored Devouring Python and the Golden Dragon Princess are considered top-tier beauties in your eyes. I gave you the Demon Lotus Heart; I can't let you tarnish it with some ugly woman, can I?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Chen felt an extreme discomfort. What kind of nonsense was this? Couldn’t they hold a decent conversation?
However, regardless of everything, Wei Chen's mood brightened significantly. Ni Junlin and the Golden Dragon Maiden were not the women of the Handsome Demon Lotus Emperor before him, which made things much easier. The knot that had been suppressed in Wei Chen's heart finally began to unravel.
But soon, Wei Chen recalled Gu Yuehong's previous words. His eyes narrowed, glinting with a hint of danger as he stared at the Handsome Demon Lotus Emperor and asked, "Are you lying to me?"
"Why would I lie to you? Fellow, you really overestimate yourself. At your current level, you aren't even worthy of my deception," the Handsome Demon Lotus Emperor scoffed. Wei Chen felt an overwhelming urge to punch that impossibly handsome face into oblivion.
Wei Chen coldly replied, "Gu Yuehong told me that in Hua Xia World, the Golden Dragon Maiden was your woman and that you had a romantic relationship with the king of the Golden Dragon Clan."
"Uh, is that really true?" The Demon Lotus Emperor's expression shifted slightly, but it was definitely not one of guilt.
"Is there any doubt? Demon Lotus Emperor, I never expected someone of your caliber would take pleasure in messing with someone like me," Wei Chen retorted angrily.
The Demon Lotus Emperor pondered for a moment before shaking his head. "I did have some entanglements with the king of the Golden Dragon Clan, but in reality, my feelings for her are far less than my grievances. I just mentioned that in my heart, there is only one woman; I have no desire to engage with others. However, since I lead the demon race against humanity, I inevitably had to interact with the queen of the Golden Dragon Clan."
A hint of shame crossed the Demon Lotus Emperor's face as he continued, "This face of mine isn’t just boasting; any woman who sees it will be captivated. Not to mention I was the commander of the Demon Alliance at that time. Because of that, the queen of the Golden Dragon Clan fell for me. But how could I possibly develop feelings? It was merely for the sake of maintaining harmony among our allied forces that I pretended to spend some time with her. Later on, she realized that I had no feelings for her at all, and our relationship completely fell apart."
"The Golden Dragon Maiden from that stone is actually the daughter born between the former Golden Dragon Queen and her clan. In her final moments of defeat, she entrusted her daughter to me. With no other choice, I could only bring her into this world."
With that, the Demon Lotus Emperor gazed deeply at Wei Chen and asked, "Now, do you have any more questions?"
"No," Wei Chen replied awkwardly with a smile. Given this lineage calculation, the Golden Dragon Maiden was practically half-daughter to the Demon Lotus Emperor; thus, wasn’t he essentially Wei Chen’s father-in-law?
The awkwardness was evident on Wei Chen's face, but fortunately, the Demon Lotus Emperor did not press him further. After pondering for a moment, he said, "The memories within Seven-Colored Devouring Python and the Golden Dragon Maiden are inscribed by me. For me, it’s quite simple. I hope you won’t let them down."
"By the way, that stone is a rare spatial artifact. Once the Golden Dragon Maiden emerges from it, its true function will become apparent. When that time comes, take some time to study it; it will be a significant asset for you. With such a large area inside it, it’s enough to establish a city-state. A living space artifact like this is remarkable even in Nine Immortal Realm; cherish it well."
With that said, the Demon Lotus Emperor cast one last deep glance at Wei Chen before saying nothing more. He transformed into a cloud of black mist and entered Wei Chen's soul once again, becoming the Demon Lotus and quietly settling down.
Unless there were any special circumstances, he would not come out.
Now, Wei Chen finally understood how grand this game truly was. No matter what, he was merely a pawn, moving back and forth between Donghua and the Demon Lotus Emperor.
The difference was that the Demon Lotus Emperor valued him, treating him as a piece to be used, while Donghua was utterly hypocritical, seeing him only as a mere pawn.
This disparity in treatment determined Wei Chen's psychological inclination.
He already had a plan for what to do next.
"Donghua, oh Donghua, if it weren't for the Demon Lotus Emperor showing up, you would have played me to death. I always regarded you as someone close to me, but you... have disappointed me greatly..."
"The so-called master is just a means to exploit you. Since you have used me so much, why can't I turn around and use you? In this matter, there will be no winners. But my life, I will protect myself; as for your life, cherish it well. Don't think that if I surpass you in strength one day and am unhappy, I wouldn't just take you out—it's not entirely impossible, old Fellow."
"Stepping outside the three realms and not within the five elements... ancient... Ten Divine Artifacts... Donghua's identity and the Demon Lotus Heart... Ancient Bloodline... Heh, these things are truly fascinating. Only when I reach that so-called Hua Xia World can I truly witness them. In Soul World, there’s not much left for me to pursue."
"The stone where the Golden Dragon Maiden resides is indeed a great asset. I'm worried that when I go to Upper Realm, it might become troublesome for them. With that stone, I could easily build a town inside for them to live in. As for the fighting and killing, I can handle it with Gu Yuehong and my dear master; there's no need for you all to take risks."
"The memories of Ni Junlin and the Golden Dragon Maiden are false. This matter should be told to them at an appropriate time; I can't take advantage of their vulnerability. They should have their own thoughts and choices. Fortunately, nothing has happened between Ni Junlin and me yet; otherwise, it would be troublesome later."
"What will they choose once they know the truth? Will they still follow me?"
With a hint of worry in his heart, Wei Chen left Cang Mountain and returned to the camp.
Han Mang and others immediately came out to greet him. Wei Chen quietly observed everyone's expressions; Donghua still wore that calm smile while the others looked greatly relieved. Only Gu Yuehong looked at Wei Chen with a somewhat strange gaze.
Wei Chen silently noted Gu Yuehong's reaction in his heart and explained the situation in Cang Mountain to everyone. They were overjoyed.
They never expected that not only would they not have to take action against the beasts themselves, but they had also helped Peach Blossom Sect and Cang Mountain build a solid defense line without needing any patrolling disciples. Where could one find such good fortune?
"Wei Chen, what are you planning to do now?" The key figures of the Peach Blossom Sect were all present, and Han Mang was seeking Wei Chen's opinion.
Wei Chen had already surveyed the terrain and had a plan in mind.
He had someone bring out paper and pen, sketching a map of Cang Mountain. Pointing at the surrounding peaks, he said, "The beast defense line should be established throughout the main peak of Cang Mountain and its surrounding foothills. Every location must be set with formations, creating an interwoven first and second line of defense. This way, it will be secure."
Everyone nodded in agreement; after all, they wouldn't have to do any of the work themselves. When it came to formations, only Wei Chen and Han Mang had a say. If formations were to be set up, it would be done by Wei Chen and Han Mang themselves.
Wei Chen pointed to the foot of the mountain and said, "At the base of the mountain, we should set up several Teleportation Arrays that lead directly to the summit. From now on, anyone going up or down the mountain can only use the Teleportation Arrays; no other methods will be allowed. On the main peak of Cang Mountain, there will be prohibitions everywhere, making it impossible to fly into Cang Mountain, especially at the summit where our Base of Operations is located. We must create the strongest formation possible."
"This way, only the summit of Cang Mountain will be our Peach Blossom Sect's territory; all other areas will serve for defense. I dare say that in the entire Central Domain, there isn't another Cloud Spirit Sect force that is as focused on defense as we are. With such extensive defenses in place, unless a Tenth-Rank Sect like Fire Sect comes to attack, no one will be able to breach our Peach Blossom Sect's defenses."
"Furthermore, look here; this is the back mountain of Cang Mountain where there is a cliff. At some point on this back mountain, we will set up a Teleportation Array that leads directly into a cave on the cliff. Inside that cave, we will arrange another formation for a long-distance Teleportation Array that can transport us directly to Demon Beast Mountain Range. In case of any danger to our sect's existence, we can use this Teleportation Array to leave for Demon Beast Mountain Range without anyone noticing."
"Additionally, beyond the first and second lines of defense, we also need powerful offensive formations scattered around the main peak of Cang Mountain. It should be similar to how Peach Blossom Island was constructed in the Eastern Region—defensive formations on the outside and offensive formations on the inside—to ensure security."
"This way, our Peach Blossom Sect can essentially secure an invincible position."
After Wei Chen finished speaking, a calm smile appeared on his face as he declared loudly, "Remember, our defensive system is called 'Tong Formation,' composed of thousands upon tens of thousands of formations! Such a Formation System is unique in the entire Soul World; there is no other like it."
Upon hearing this, countless black lines appeared on Han Mang's forehead.
