Qin Fan's expression was still a little surprised when Yun Hongce showed his active cooperation.

He knows a certain nature of a smart person, and he is a spirit of not admitting defeat.

It is also because of the support of this spirit that these strategists and military advisors are eager to come up with good strategies to break the situation in danger.

Now the Chiluo Demon Kingdom has not yet encountered some kind of crisis that is about to be destroyed, and its power is also at its peak, so Yun Hongce can use this to gain some voice.

Even if Qin Fan guided the situation to this point with one force, the information he guessed by Yun Hongce had not completely turned into sharp blades hanging above the Chiluo Demon Kingdom, so the other party could actually argue with reason first.

Even Qin Fan had thought about how to further impress him.

However, Yun Hongce's unexpected compromise made his long-prepared words reach a useless place.

Soon Qin Fan also figured out the reason. The other party really cared about the lives of the Chiluo Demon Kingdom and the demons, so he would not bet on the risks and pros and cons that would arise in the future. Everything was only analyzed with the worst possible possibility.

Then, it is undoubtedly the best choice to bow to the ghost market and seek help.

Then Qin Fan sighed lightly and said:

"I now believe that the character you set is your true personality. Chihuang, I have good luck."

Yun Hongce frowned slightly and said:

"Ghost Lord, you should know that time is not on our side. Let's stop here. Today is the second day of the appearance of Tianzhihen. Taking advantage of the fact that those explorers outside the sky have not yet clarified the situation in the mountains and seas, we must take the initiative.

So, how do you need the Demon Kingdom to cooperate next?"

"Did you believe that I have a heart?" Qin Fan chuckled, then took out a chessboard and placed it on the table between the two of them. "Your heart is a little confused. These nineteen rays of scatteredness can help you stabilize your mind.

Besides, I also want to see the strength of the great scholars in the demon clan.”

"Do you know I'm going all the way? Logically, I shouldn't be exposed." Yun Hongce picked up a black spot and fell into a corner under Qin Fan's instructions. At this moment, his heart was indeed calmed down.

Without waiting for Qin Fan's explanation, he had already thought of the answer.

"My only flaw is that in the battle at the border, I used literary talent to cover up my own traces, so the ghost market should have carefully cleaned the battlefield afterwards. Was that manager Xia discovered this clue?"

"That's right, of course there is another point. Your demonic bloodline is not pure enough. If you follow some magical skills, your progress must be too slow. But in that battle, both the "rain" and the "wind" felt some threats on you that were not inferior to the Death God Shadow.

That's why 'rain' went back to investigate after sending you to the ghost market."

Qin Fan's eyes were on the small silver horn on Yun Hongce's forehead. Compared with other orthodox demons, this small horn was too inconspicuous. The length of the diagonal of the Red Emperor was exaggerated and terrifying.

After this period of investigation by members of the Ghost City infiltrated into the Western Demon Realm, Qin Fan already knew that this was a criterion for measuring the purity of the demon blood.

In addition, this famous military advisor has a daily hobby of collecting some ancient scrolls and books, so it is easy to guess that he is following the path of literary and intellectuals, and the way of being a minister is also a kind of practice in this system.

There are also restrictions on this literary way. Those who are ministers should not be respected, otherwise they will be backfired.

This can easily explain a missing point, that is, even if the Chi Emperor may vaguely realize that Yun Hongce's power is too great, he will not check and balance it, or he is worried about the reason why the other party threatens his own life.

After all, if Yun Hongce really becomes independent, he will be useless.

For a group that is supreme in power, even if you have enough wisdom to turn the world, you cannot be so weak that even a child cannot beat him.

"But with the literary inheritance of the demon clan, you should have a hard time walking this path."

Yun Hongce nodded slightly and said:

"Reading can enlighten wisdom, reading can understand truth, and reading can cure foolishness. As the brain of the Chiluo Demon Kingdom, I must accept the collision of cultural ideas so that I can find a way out for the demons.

The concept of unity is recorded in the ancient scroll I found in an abandoned secret realm, and it is also because of this that the Chilu Demon Kingdom was created.

But unfortunately, the demons do not attach great importance to books. Most of them read only to understand the magical skills, but few people study the meaning hidden in the verb, which also leads to some ancient books being thrown around like garbage.

This situation did not improve until the Demon Kingdom was established.”

"Oh? As you said, this situation is worse than I expected, so you can step into the celestial phenomena because you adhere to the way of being a minister?" Qin Fan fell a white piece and looked at the other party and asked.

Yun Hongce nodded and replied:

"I have accumulated a lot of literary talent through reading before, and then the Demon Kingdom was established and I truly broke through the shackles."

"Then are you going to be the kingly or domineering behind you?"

"What is the king's way? What is the domineering way?" Yun Hongce raised his head and looked at Qin Fan in confusion.

Qin Fan was a little surprised and said:

"It's really an accident that you can achieve this."

After Qin Fan learned that Hua Lianxing had transferred to Wendao, he found a large number of books on Wendao system through factions in the court, as well as the Yuan and Xie family library.

The division of realms inside is still very interesting.

If you cannot read the resonance of heaven and earth through reading, this state is collectively called a literati.

However, due to the accumulation of literary energy in his body, the strength and weakness are also very different.

To reach the realm of Baili Hong, the Lord of the Wensheng Temple, is a great scholar, or it can be called the celestial realm. However, compared to the warrior who blesses the power of heaven and earth into his moves, this great scholar has a higher understanding of the rules and the combat power displayed is also more difficult.

However, this weakness is more obvious. Great scholars are more fragile than magicians, and they use much less methods of self-protection than magicians.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! At this moment, Yun Hongce's move has slowed down a lot, and he smiled bitterly:

"I can accumulate literary energy and nourish mental power in my body, or do I successfully complete it through some information recorded in the remaining ancient books and then explore it myself.

And what you said about being a minister was only in an ancient book given by His Majesty Chi Emperor that I knew how to break through.

As for the difference between kingly and domineering, I have not heard of it before. The information recorded in that book only tells how I should abide by the way of being a minister, some of the taboos, and some of the means of using literary style.

After reaching the level of a great scholar, I first realized my mastery of the rules and the mobilization of the power of heaven and earth."

"You are a genius." Qin Fan sighed a little emotion. The other party basically used some remnants to cross the river by feeling the stones, and then with the blessing of a little luck, he successfully embarked on the road of literary Taoism.

And it is already a miracle that he can still practice to the level of a great scholar in this way.

"After this conversation, I will increase your authority level in Ghost City. From the 20th to 29th floors of this Nether Tower, it is the library in Ghost City. At that time, you can read some books that you can read without spending contribution points."

"Thank you." Yun Hongce stood up and gave a solemn gift.

"I will explain to you the difference between kingly way and domineering." Qin Fan signaled Yun Hongce to sit down, then pinched a white piece in his hand and said, "If the ministers of the king and his subjects are incompatible, they will choose a tactful way to persuade the monarch or make the monarch helpless. The domineering ministers will no matter what the monarch's will, the monarch must listen to himself. If he does not listen, he must force the monarch to act according to his wishes.

Before, I didn’t know what impact this kingly and domineering will have on the scribes themselves, but I have collected some information in the past two days and learned that this is the key to the great scribes’ next step.

Based on your own knowledge, and then reading the collection of books in my ghost market, it may lead to your own literary talent accumulation and a certain probability of making a breakthrough.

So you need to think carefully now.”

Yun Hongce was silent.

He seemed to be thinking, but actually was trying to figure out Qin Fan's intention.

The two of them seemed to be playing chess to calm their minds, but they said nothing nonsense. The previous preparations were also to guide themselves to think about the next step.

Then he quickly guessed Qin Fan’s thoughts.

"If I break through, my strength will surpass His Majesty the Red Emperor in one fell swoop. This minister of the kingly way may limit his own hands and feet, and will also increase his level, which will arouse His Majesty's fear, which will lead to some gaps in the cooperation between our Demon Kingdom and the Ghost Market.

But if I become a domineering minister, I will go against my always-official will. However, the advantage of doing so is that there will be no unnecessary trouble in the alliance between the Demon Kingdom and the Ghost Market in the future.

And with my means, I can avoid internal friction in advance, but this will make His Majesty Chi Emperor wronged, because he must become a puppet."

"Isn't he now?" Qin Fan chuckled, "Don't forget that there are still some hidden dangers in your demon country. As far as I know, the establishment of this demon country has not been long since it was established, because there was no concept of great unification before, which also led to the old ministers of some forces being ready to move and seeking opportunities for restoration."

"Ghost Lord, can you express your purpose?"

"I just want to deepen my understanding of you, so I remind you of this choice I will face sooner or later." Qin Fan shook his head slightly after falling a son, "This game is over, and your mood seems to be even more chaotic."

Yun Hongce stared at the chessboard in a daze, and he really lost.

Halfway through this conversation, his mind was no longer on the chessboard.

Then the chessboard and chess jar in front of him were put away by Qin Fan.

"Talk about the serious business."

"Now?" If Yun Hongce's mood was at the most stable state when he was playing chess, then the time to discuss the matter was the most appropriate, but now it was even worse than when he was struggling with how to bow his head to Qin Fan before.

"Well, first step is that I need you to help me rescue someone."

"Save someone?"

"A Da of the Demon Sect, after the end of the border war, he found that he was secretly monitored and his movements were also restricted."

Qin Fan's expression under his mask was a little gloomy.

From the alliance on the confirmation force panel, after the name of the Demon Sect disappeared, he contacted Ada immediately.

But the result is just as he and Yun Hongce said, Ada has been under house arrest.

As for Jiu Damo, according to Ada, the other party's cultivation speed in the Demon Sect was a thousand miles a day, and his thoughts were increasingly aligned with the concept of the Demon Sect.

Qin Fan's previous life-saving grace was no longer important than the so-called righteousness.

Of course, Jiu Damo has not turned against him openly, but Ada noticed that he could not be the same as before, and his position is biased towards the ghost market.

Even because of the emergence of Wuyou Sect, he had more complaints and opinions in private in the struggle for belief in Buddhism.

Qin Fan did not feel too surprised about this.

After all, after Wang Chongyang and Jiu Damo, who were the golden corpse, had been unsealed, their first thought of getting out of trouble was to repay kindness, but they had no intention of loyalty. This shows that at the beginning, the Taoist Buddha knew his goals very well and could not be bound to a force because of the so-called kindness.

In the battle at the top of the sword mountain, Jiu Damo also made a lot of efforts, including cooperating with Ada to force Zhishan to unseal the Demon-Suppressing Tower. The kindness was almost clean.
