Immortal Devil Transformation

The people of the world watched as the world was flooded. Roads were swept through, farmland was submerged. As the rain continued, everyone couldn’t help but wonder if this rain would never end.

But this wasn’t what many high level cultivators were worried about.

It was because even though they didn’t know why this unprecedented torrential rain happened, they were able use their powerful perceptions to sense that the water content in the air was definitely lessening. That was why this rain was still going to come to a stop in the end.

While Zhang Ping fully expressed his loathing and callousness towards this word, the Imperial Princess left the carriage and walked into Central Continent City. She entered the throne room and gathered the cabinet, starting to clean up the chaotic royal court.

The Imperial Princess’ appearance triggered great alarm.

The officials who didn’t know what was happening thought that the Imperial Princess had secretly swept away all of those in her way of succeeding the throne. Now that she was finally able to take over the Imperial City, all of these officials were overjoyed and overwhelmed with tears.

Some officials who understood what happened were similarly weeping bitter tears. It was because they knew that the formal appearance of the Imperial Princess to preside over matters meant that she finally gave up her resistance, that she was finally going to serve Zhang Ping.

After the Imperial Princess appeared, she didn’t mention Green Luan Palace or Purgatory Mountain. She only worked through things in a methodical manner, carrying out a series of appointments and dismissals. She dealt with the flood damage, organized the troops… All of her appointments and dismissals were done in an extremely orderly manner, through Yunqin law. She also placed the most suitable candidates in every role, and she didn’t try to look into who belonged to which faction. It was to the extent where even some of Xu Zhenyan, Leng Zhennan and Rong Family’s trusted aides were replaced with officials who were more suited and capable in those positions.

All of this was like the true recovery process after a war, as if the entire country was finally being governed.

This was precisely what Zhang Ping wanted her to do.

This was also what Lin Xi previously hoped for her to do.

It was just that different timing represented entirely different meanings.

All of Yunqin was in great chaos. It was almost as if things returned to before Yunqin was founded, an age where the various fiefdoms were all split up and divided.

But this type of chaos was started by her, Green Luan Academy, the people who protected her and those who purely believed that the Changsun Clan’s True Dragon bloodline was the rightful ruler of Yunqin. She, Green Luan Academy and those resisting forces needed this type of chaos.

Under this type of chaos, no matter how many cultivators Zhang Ping killed, he would only be able to at most ensure his control over Central Continent, maintain control over some of Central Continent’s troops.

However, the Imperial Princess began to calm down all of Yunqin. Zhang Ping no longer had to worry about the local armies attacking Central Continent City. Even if he never publicly revealed himself, if he allowed more and more people to be secretly influenced over time and made them feel like Yunqin Empire really was firmly under the Imperial Princess’ control, then it would only make it easier for him to sort out the world of cultivators. Even if he didn’t transfer large amounts of Yunqin troops under the Imperial Princess’ control, even if all Yunqin troops were only holding their positions, his enemies imperceptibly lessened. His disciples and the cultivators who relied on him, his believers, would still become his army. The devil king needed people to organize his world, this would allow him to make better use of his world to deal with some of his enemies. All the while, most people had no idea what they were doing just like the black robed pale fatty and the red robed man who argued in that alley.

…

The third day after the Imperial Princess appeared in Central Continent City and sat on the dragon throne, overseeing the entire royal court, the rain that had already continued for many days began to stop.

Countless Yunqin people rushed into the muddy paths, cheering as they looked at the sunshine they hadn’t seen for a long time. Many people thought that the Imperial Princess brought them good luck. There were many who only opposed Central Continent Imperial City because they were opposed to the temporarily formed cabinet, so now that the Imperial Princess was in control of the court, Yunqin’s ordinary people already found this type of resistance meaningless. That was why the ordinary people instead began to feel as if the opposition forces were up to no good.

Zhang Ping wasn’t in Central Continent City. When the rain stopped, he was in a workshop to Central Continent City’s southern outskirts.

Even though he was in a workshop far from Central Continent City, under the servitude of devout believers, the treatment he enjoyed wasn’t inferior to any imperial palace in the world.

A devout young red robed believer kissed the ground by his toe tips. Then, he placed several jade plates filled with the most exquisite food on the table in front of him.

Everyone could see how devoted he was to Zhang Ping. However, Zhang Ping didn’t feel any joy when he looked at this young red robed believer. Even though he knew that this young red robed believer’s devotion was real, he still found it a bit disgusting.

It was because he knew the reason why this red robed believer was so loyal to him was because he allowed him to become a cultivator. Moreover, he gave him his brother’s wife that he was fond of as his woman.

That was why even though this young red robed believer was devoted to him, this robe was completely disgusting in his eyes.

Within his cold eyes, most people in this world were just as disgusting as this red robed believer.

Even though there were some who refused him like that noodle shop owner, some people who angered him, this was only because in his opinion, they were too weak. That was why in his eyes, this world was disgusting to begin with, filled with filth.

…

Before Lin Xi, Nangong Weiyang and Qin Xiyue entered Heaven Ascension Mountain Range, Zhang Ping directly forced all Yunqin cultivators to fight against each other, to either serve him or die. When Lin Xi’s party crossed over Heaven Ascension Mountain Range and entered Frozen God Domain, Great Mang experienced a huge battle, leading to the deaths of countless soldiers and cultivators. Meanwhile, Zhang Ping carried out a great purge of Yunqin’s entire north, all cultivators becoming his targets.

The number of cultivators in this world became fewer than any previous age. The entire northern Yunqin became almost devoid of cultivators, those left almost all cultivators who were loyal to Zhang Ping.

When Zhang Ping was about to partake of the exquisite meal his believers prepared for him in his southern outskirts workshop, Lin Xi’s group who was currently disguised as small traders walked out of an Auspicious Virtue soap shop. Lin Xi stood outside, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

“It already wasn’t easy for the Imperial Princess to hold on for so long.” Nangong Weiyang noticed his expression and said seriously, “She has already done better than I expected.”

“I understand what you are trying to say. This isn’t what I am thinking about.” Lin Xi knew that she misunderstood him. With a slight shake of his head, he quietly said, “I might need a bit of time to get used to losing my Divine General ability. When I saw the message on those soaps, my first reaction was to directly slaughter my way into Central Continent City and pay him a visit. But now, I don’t have the chance to try again in this life. That is why I have to act with more certainty, I have to at least ensure that my power is above his before I try anything.”

Gu Xinyin smiled. “For you to be able to realize this means that it won’t take that long for you to adapt.”

Qin Xiyue sighed deeply.

Even though her, Lin Xi, Gu Xinyin and Nangong Weiyang were only in a remote town, this place was already close to Yunqin’s center. It already wasn’t far from Central Continent City.

“What should we do now?” She couldn’t help but look at Lin Xi, Nangong Weiyang and Gu Xinyin, quietly asking this.

“He wants to make the entire world his enemy.” Gu Xinyin looked at Lin Xi with a smile, quietly saying, “This would not only grant him even greater strength. Moreover, defeating this world that you’ve worked so hard to achieve will also bring him even greater satisfaction.”

Lin Xi nodded. He turned around to give that small Auspicious Virtue shop behind him a look, looking over the various types of soaps inside. He quietly said, “It is just a pity that he doesn’t know that Auspicious Virtue is mine, nor does he know that even after all this time, there are still many people who believe that I am still alive… I already have to get used to the changes of losing my Divine General ability, I already have to adopt an even more dependable method, so I’ll just use the method he wants to use to defeat him.”
