"What? The Qingyao Heavenly Monarch is coming in person?"

Upon hearing this news, Yi Chen was momentarily stunned, then a smile spread across his face.

During these days, he had been keeping to himself, seemingly fishing, but in reality, Yi Chen understood in his heart that whether he caught any fish was unimportant. What mattered was that he was waiting for news—a gesture from the forces presiding over the many heavens.

Although rumors circulated that the major factions would send envoys, Yi Chen treated them all as entertainment until these whispers materialized. To him, they were akin to ratings from capital market agencies—amusing to hear, but not to be taken seriously.

If anyone truly directed their actions based on such hearsay, Yi Chen could only commend them by saying, 'Dachun, you are unlike the others, your saintly nature remains untainted~'.

However, the Qingyao Heavenly Monarch was different. As the only daughter of the Taoist Emperor, the appointed heir, the most mysterious Heavenly Monarch within the Cosmic Sea, if the Taoist Emperor and others truly wished to confront him, there would be no need to use their own daughter as a decoy.

"It seems the Destruction Evil Lord did not deceive me, which suggests that even within Asna and Bo Xun's Holy Alliance, a consensus has not been reached."

The Destruction Evil Lord was invaluable. On that day, the reason he survived till the last was, apart from Yi Chen not wanting to overly provoke Bo Xun, an unspeakable under-the-table deal.

Otherwise, how could such a coincidence occur?

At this moment, Yi Chen couldn't help but let out a deep sigh, as intelligence from both sides confirmed each other, allowing him to finally put his mind at ease.

Now it's secure.

"Someone, isn't it time to prepare the best villa as the residence for Qingyao Fairy?"

"Also, have Right Envoy Ma lead a party 30,000 miles out to grandly welcome the Taoist Emperor's envoy." Yi Chen excitedly instructed.

....

....

Half a day later, the Giant Shark Realm was already brilliantly decorated.

Qingyao Fairy slowly stepped off the flying boat from the high sky, and what met her eyes were stone houses with three rooms and one hall rising up one after another within the Giant Shark Realm, followed by the emissary sent out to greet her—a tremendously burly horse demon.

This was a very peculiar horse demon.

Its aura was somewhat muddled, yet its blood energy was astonishingly vigorous, comparable to the legendary ferocious beasts hidden within the Cosmic Sea.

Moreover, its head was unbelievably pointed, like a unicorn.

"The Deep Red Emperor is indeed a remarkable person; even his subordinates exude a mysterious aura, making things all the more intriguing."

With a thought, Qingyao Fairy withdrew her gaze from the line of stone houses below in the Giant Shark Realm and smiled gently at Right Envoy Ma:

"Esteemed envoy of the emperor, observing the stone houses below, the power of the one who wrought them seems unimaginably formidable, yet they don't appear to be the core of any formation. May I ask if there's something more going on here, or is there a story behind this?"

Qingyao Fairy's voice was like a mountain stream, clear and delightful to hear, and even Right Envoy Ma, who had borne eleven Guangze Saint Seals, felt a profound comfort, with an abrupt sense of innate closeness welling within his heart,

He immediately spoke loudly:

"The envoy's observation is spot on; there's indeed a story here~"

"Back when the Emperor first arrived in our Giant Shark Realm, you should know, Fairy, that being bandit cultivators, we naturally prioritize profit over life."

"The Emperor initially promised great rewards to us, then displayed great power, creating countless stone houses on this Giant Shark Realm in an instant, which astounded all the bandit cultivators here."

"Hehe~ Fairy, you probably can't guess the real intention behind the Emperor's move, which was as elusive as a parable of a grazing unicorn~"

"Even I, with my current status as the foremost wise man in the Giant Shark Realm, had to ponder for quite a while before I understood the true intention of the Emperor."

All of a sudden, Right Envoy Ma lowered his voice, speaking mysteriously.

Qingyao Fairy's eyes flickered with the Spiritual Eye, seeing within the stone houses ordinary people living their lives, cooking and arranging their homes in an orderly fashion, which seemed carefully managed, she couldn't help but muster some interest in the secret Right Envoy Ma alluded to.

She looked at Right Envoy Ma's pointed head and gently inquired again:

"I haven't yet inquired your name, esteemed envoy. May I ask what deep meaning lies behind the Emperor's actions?"

"Hehe, there's no need for such formalities, Fairy; you can just call me Right Envoy Ma."

"It seems even Qingyao Fairy, despite your wit, couldn't figure out the true intention of the Emperor; with so many stone houses bursting forth in the Giant Shark Realm, it's evident the Emperor was warning us—if we disobey, he could bury us as foundations beneath these stone houses at any time, for those lowly mortals to trample upon every day."

"Ah.... ah? So... so that's it."

Qingyao Fairy's eyes flashed with Divine Light, but she casually echoed his words.

Not engaging in debate with fools had always been Wan Qingyao's principle.

Before setting off, Qingyao Fairy had already reviewed the actual situation within Youlan Star Path, but along the way, she marveled at Yi Chen's governance abilities, and of course, noticed some rather intriguing aspects.

Now, upon seeing the myriad stone houses in the Giant Shark Realm, suddenly, a bold hypothesis emerged in her mind.

"My heavens, could it be that the Deep Red Emperor, rumored to be brutal, tyrannical, and quick to kill, is in reality a compassionate cultivator?"
