My Informative Cultivation Life

"My lord, I have already notified the other two Demon Lords, and I believe they will arrive shortly," Demon Shadow replied respectfully.

"Good!" Yang Ji nodded solemnly, casting a glance at the people below before closing his eyes to wait.

"This new commander is so young. Could he be the son of a Demon Emperor or a Demon God?" The eight Demon Lords below stood in the hall without sitting, not daring to do so without Yang Ji's command, as they were unclear about his background and identity and did not want to offend him rashly; they were now whispering among themselves.

"I don't know, he looks somewhat unfamiliar!" A Demon Lord said as he observed Yang Ji.

"When I arrived, I quietly asked Demon Shadow. He said that Hei Sha has an ordinary background, not the son of any Demon Emperor, much less that of a Demon God, but he has exceptional natural talent and possesses the potential for True Transmission.

Favored by the Demon Consort, he's been entrusted with a heavy responsibility and stationed at the Floating Luo Sea to serve as the new commander," another Demon Lord communicated in secret.

"True Transmission Talent? Without a strong background? It seems the Demon Consort really does value him. Xun Yu, the son of Demon Emperor Xun Ze, also has True Transmission Talent. The Emperor once commanded the Floating Luo Sea and fell in battle. Logically, this commander's position should have gone to Xun Yu, the Emperor's Child.

Unexpectedly, the Demon Consort appointed someone else. What do you think is the reasoning behind this?" a Demon Lord pondered aloud. Stay updated via empire

"The Demon Consort always has a fondness for prodigies. Could it be that Hei Sha's talent is higher than that of Xun Yu, the Emperor's Child?" a Demon Lord speculated.

"The Tianjiu Demon Sage and Tianhua Demon Sage were once the most trusted by Demon Emperor Xun Ze. They have yet to arrive, probably because of the recent appointment of the new commander—they might not wish to come," a Demon Lord quietly said.

"Let's wait and see; there's bound to be a good show. It looks like Tianjiu and Tianhua want to give this new commander a taste of their power," another Demon Lord whispered.

...

In another hall, a young man with a cold face sat at the highest seat, while two middle-aged Demon Lords stood below him.

These two imposing Demon Lords were now furious, their bodies swirling with Demonic Qi like tidal waves, exuding a fierce killing intent.

"We have sent word to the Demon Consort, suggesting that since Demon Emperor Xun Ze has died, we cannot be without a commander. We recommended that you, Xun Yu, the Emperor's Child, take up the mantle of the new commander. Everything should have gone smoothly; how did Hei Sha suddenly emerge? How can this nobody be fit to take the position of commander?" Tianhua Demon Sage said angrily.

"Do you think this could have been deliberate on the part of the Demon Consort? Could it be that when we recommended a candidate on our own, we angered her supreme will, and now she is deliberately sending someone to vex and suppress us?" Tianhua Demon Sage surmised.

"The Demon Consort commands many Demon Emperors and is magnanimous. It's unlikely she would stoop to this level of pettiness. Besides, Demon Emperor Xun Ze has always been loyally devoted to the Demon Consort; she certainly has no need to act this way. What worries me now is that the new commander might indeed possess True Transmission Talent as Demon Shadow has said.

If that's the case, we are in a difficult position," Tianjiu Demon Sage said with a frown.

"The Demon Consort favors geniuses. By sending Hei Sha here, I'm concerned his talent is indeed superior to that of Xun Yu, the Emperor's Child," Tianjiu Demon Sage said, his face full of worry as he looked towards the cold-faced young man above.

"Tianjiu, how can you give others courage at the expense of our own prestige? This nobody without any background, what qualifications does he have to compare with Xun Yu, the Emperor's Child?"

Speaking so, Tianhua's eyes flashed with a fierce light. "If you ask me, we should simply take the Commander's Seal, and support Xun Yu, the Emperor's Child's ascent."

"You would challenge the will of the Demon Consort? This is her personally appointed commander!" Tianjiu exclaimed in shock.

"Hmph! Since the Demon Consort likes geniuses, let Xun Yu, the Emperor's Child, personally defeat Hei Sha fair and square, and then take his Commander's Seal.

Even if the Demon Consort finds out, she will surely say nothing, because at that point, Hei Sha will have been a failed prodigy, while Xun Yu, the Emperor's Child, will have proven himself and can take advantage of the situation to assume the position," Tianhua Demon Sage said coldly.

"This..." Tianjiu hesitated, "that's actually a good plan."

As they spoke, both turned their gaze toward the heavy-browed, lightning-eyed cold-faced young man at the head of the room.

"Hei Sha? A genius who isn't even a Sacred Body? I could suppress him with a flick of my hand!" Xun Yu said coldly.

"Very well! If the Emperor's Child is confident, let us proceed to the main hall and take his Commander's Seal!" Tianjiu Demon Sage said.

"When you act, be ruthless, using thundering force to suppress him. It serves a dual purpose: to establish our authority among the other Demon Lords, and to display your formidable potential to the Demon Consort," Tianhua Demon Sage's gaze shimmered as he spoke.

"Demon Shadow said he possesses True Transmission Talent; he might have some skills. We must not take this lightly and must use our full strength to suppress him," Tianjiu Demon Sage cautioned.

"Uncles, I understand!" Xun Yu nodded coldly.

"Alright! Let's go! To the main hall," Tianhua Demon Sage said as he looked toward Xun Yu and the three transformed into streaks of light, darting out of the hall towards the main hall.

...

Inside the main hall, three streaks of light whirled in, materializing into three figures.

"I didn't expect Tianjiu and Tianhua to show up; I thought they would make things difficult for the new commander and not come!" a Demon Lord secretly marveled.

"Xun Yu, the Emperor's Child, has also arrived. With their quite obviously hostile demeanor, it's clear they bear ill intent. What should we do?" another Demon Lord asked.

"What else can we do? We simply watch and wait. This is a struggle for the commander's position—we can't get involved. The best option is to be spectators, and support whoever wins!" another Demon Lord communicated in secret.
