Ling Xiao cannot possibly win the top spot in this arena.
Otherwise, she would completely offend Marquis Bishui.
Moreover, with her cultivation, she can only be considered average among the great demons.
Adding in her combat skills and experience, she might be able to break into the top five.
But to win first place is definitely impossible.
"If I were Marquis Bishui, I would definitely place an inside agent in this scene," Ling Xiao narrowed her eyes.
The purpose of this inside agent is to eliminate those who shouldn't be here.
The martial arts arena will produce results within a day.
Since Marquis Bishui has let them in, he can't just dismiss them with any old excuse.
And if he were to block them from entering, there would have to be a convincing reason.
Otherwise, how would he convince the crowd?
Even if the demon marquis doesn't care, he wouldn't want to be laughed at.
At this time, the use of an inside agent, an inside agent with good combat power, is very significant.
The demon marquis only needs to make some simple moves to eliminate the great demons he doesn't like.
"So, next, it depends on Xu Chengxian." What's there to fear about an inside agent? Just fight your way through, right?
"My current cultivation is just one step away from entering the intermediate stage of the Great Demon realm," Ling Xiao thought of this, and couldn't help but grit her teeth and curse: "Damn it, still one step too late!"
She was one step behind Ling Yunzi.
The other party is now in the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.
Xu Chengxian will only be stronger.
Although the fluctuations of blood energy on his body are very weak.
— Weak compared to the vastness under the lightning tribulation.
"His cultivation is definitely more than the intermediate stage of the Great Demon realm. And his combat power will only be stronger." She is very certain of this.
After transforming, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, Ling Xiao's divine soul power became stronger, and her divine sense became more sensitive.
She had seen too many strong people in her previous life and deeply understood that special often meant powerful.
Frequent divine sense transmissions can reveal many things.
Moreover, Xu Chengxian is not good at concealing himself.
Or perhaps, he has never concealed himself at all.
"Damn it!" Ling Xiao cursed again.
She couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with her own cultivation speed.
Her cultivation and combat power are still too low.
As a generation of empress, she could freely browse through the secret treasury of the Holy Dynasty.
She knows the locations of the large and small secret realms, the cave dwellings of great powers, and the ancient lands of immortals in the desolate continent, as well as the methods of opening them and how to obtain the qualifications to enter them, more than anyone else.
Ling Yunzi seemed to have mentioned that he was forced to disperse his cultivation and start again, but something went wrong, his physical body was not preserved, and under the disintegration of his soul, he unexpectedly became a reincarnation without going through reincarnation.
"The technique of dispersing one's cultivation and starting again cannot be used on the spur of the moment."
So, this guy might have been prepared long ago.
Then wouldn't he leave a way out for himself?
A crafty rabbit has three burrows.
With his character, wouldn't he store some magical treasures in several places, waiting to be opened in the future?
"Hmph, so he's just like me, trapped in the land of the demons." Ling Xiao thought to herself, Ling Yunzi must also be very frustrated.
Maybe even more depressed than her.
No wonder this guy never mentioned his Great Black Banner, which was most criticized by the Xuanmen Orthodox sect!
"If I were him, even if I couldn't keep the original one, I would refine a small one and hide it well." She decided that when the time was right and she returned to the Eastern Earth human realm, she would definitely follow Ling Yunzi to see if he had hidden any treasures.
"And Old Ghost."
Ling Xiao was troubled by her inability to guess Xu Chengxian's origins.
"I want to see when you reveal your true face!"
……
"……Sorry, sister, I've never hidden my face."
It's already so exposed, it's just that you can't guess it.
Xu Chengxian twisted his body a few times on the chair.
Having suddenly been able to hear Ling Xiao's inner voice, he was using great willpower to avoid turning his head to look at this empress sister, who went from reviewing her plans and thinking to Ling Yunzi possibly having a secret treasury.
Perhaps it was because all the great demons in the Marquis's mansion were paying attention and restrained their divine senses.
Ling Xiao was no exception.
Moreover, her mind was in a relatively relaxed state.
Therefore, Xu Chengxian could hear it again.
This made him, who was trying to eavesdrop on the inner voices of other great demons, also unexpectedly gain something.
Especially the last part.
Ling Xiao, whose mind was agitated, showed it very obviously.
Even Ling Yunzi noticed her unusual behavior and frowned almost imperceptibly.
But at this time, there was movement on the high platform, attracting everyone's attention.
Marquis Bishui is here.
……
Marquis Bishui's mood was not very pleasant.
He is someone who dotes on his daughter.
Otherwise, why would he be willing to use Flood Dragon blood to recruit a son-in-law?
There is a reason why the date was set in April.
In April, the temperature warms up.
Also known as Huai Xia, Meng Xia, the month of Jian Si.
Also known as Snake Month.
For the snake and python race, it is auspicious and beneficial.
Therefore, Marquis Bishui specifically set the date for recruiting a son-in-law for his daughter on the last day of mid-April.
The bloodline of the strong may have powerful talents from birth.
But the stronger the demon race, the more difficult it is to give birth to offspring.
Therefore, they need to make trade-offs.
But most of them will choose to refine their bloodlines to a certain level and cultivate before giving birth to offspring.
Powerful demon races do not have too many descendants.
Therefore, every child born is regarded as a treasure.
Like him, he only has three daughters.
Even if he has the intention of using this to win over the younger generation, he would not use his daughter as a raft.
"I didn't expect that this marquis would really encounter someone stirring up trouble!"
Not explicitly saying recruit a son-in-law is to worry that his daughter really doesn't like it, so there can be room for maneuver.
Only saying that the great demons compete, and the winner gets a drop of Flood Dragon blood.
However, in fact, everyone knows what's going on.
So those who are not suitable will not come forward.
First of all, the age cannot be too old.
If the age exceeds three Jiazi (180 years) and they are still in the Great Demon realm, they basically have no future.
No matter how good their cultivation aptitude is, no matter what reason delayed them, in short, at this point, it will be difficult to move forward.
The upper limit of lifespan in the Great Demon realm is two hundred years.
It's not to say that they will definitely die when they reach two hundred years old, but the closer they get to the upper limit of lifespan, the more difficult it is to improve their cultivation.
The tribulation will also be more dangerous.
In a life of nine deaths, even adding a tiny bit could mean ten deaths and no life.
Why not directly recruit demon generals?
Because the demon general realm and the great demon realm are two completely different levels!
Demon generals have at least three to five hundred years to live, and this alone may reveal the vast difference between the two.
The souls of demon generals are solidified, and even if their physical bodies die, they can still linger on.
As long as they don't die, everything is possible.
Nine out of ten of those who have reached the demon general level are stationed generals, directly under the command of the demon marshal.
Not to mention the cost of attracting them, whether he, a demon marquis, can afford it. Even if he can afford it, one or two is fine, but more may anger the demon king.
Moreover, demons who have become demon generals, as long as there is a possibility of promotion, who would be willing to be under someone else?
Seemingly under the control of the demon marshal, they are actually obeying the demon king.
Outside, they are also kings of one side.
Unless the demon race is invaded by foreign enemies, it is difficult for the demon marshal's orders to mobilize them.
It's okay to befriend them, but don't even think about taking them as your own.
