Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

A month passed in a flash, and during this period, there was no movement from the Flame Scale Demon King, as if the previous agreement was just empty talk.

Although Zhou Yiqiao was anxious in his heart, he did not dare to show it on his face.

In this transaction, it seems that Zhou Yiqiao took the initiative, but only he himself knew that all this was just a pretext and could not stand up to scrutiny.

In desperation, he had to confine himself to Lang Ye's residence and wait patiently for a reply from the Flame Scale Demon King.

On this day, Zhou Yiqiao took care of the unconscious Lang Ye as usual, then stood up and walked to the window, looking at the sky outside, with a thousand thoughts in his mind.

Just as he was deep in thought, familiar footsteps were heard outside the door.

Zhou Yiqiao turned his head and saw Yan Jinxuan walking towards him with a gentle smile on her face and a jade bottle emitting rich spiritual power in her hand.

"Mr. Zhou, are you worried about Chief Wolf Night again?"

Yan Jinxuan asked softly.

Zhou Yiqiao naturally would not tell Yan Jinxuan that he was actually worried about herself, so he just nodded and said nothing.

During this month, Yan Jinxuan came to see Lang Ye every day, revealing almost all of her feelings for Lang Ye.

Yan Jinxuan noticed Zhou Yiqiao's worry. She walked towards Lang Ye's bed and carefully fed the spiritual liquid in the jade bottle in her hand to Lang Ye while speaking softly.

"Mr. Zhou, I came here today because I have good news to tell you."

"Oh? What's the good news?"

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he was moved and looked at Yan Jinxuan.

Yan Jinxuan didn't know what happy thing she was thinking about, and a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

"The elders sent out by my father have discovered the smuggling network of the great elder. He asked me to inform you to go to the main hall to discuss the next course of action."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he was immediately delighted.

He knew that the month's wait had finally paid off and the Flame Scale Demon King had kept his promise.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Zhou Yiqiao said without hesitation.

He turned around, handed Lang Ye to Yan Jinxuan's care, then quickly left the room and headed for the main hall of the Flame Scale Royal Family.

Inside the main hall, the Flame Scale Demon King had been waiting for a long time.

There was a trace of solemnity on his face, and it was obvious that the results of the investigations over the past few days had put a lot of pressure on him.

"Zhou Yiqiao, you are here."

When the Flame Scale Demon King saw Zhou Yiqiao coming, he nodded slightly.

Zhou Yiqiao walked forward and bowed.

"Senior Demon King, I heard that the elders have discovered the smuggling network of the Great Elder?"

The Flame Scale Demon King nodded, then waved his hand to signal the elder beside him to show the results of the investigation.

The elder stepped forward, holding a glowing jade slip in his hand, and handed it to Zhou Yiqiao.

"This is the distribution map of the smuggling network we discovered in the border area, as well as some important strongholds and figures."

The elder said in a deep voice.

Zhou Yiqiao took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and a look of understanding appeared on his face.

"What are you going to do next?"

The Flame Scale Demon King asked.

Zhou Yiqiao pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"I know what Senior Demon King is worried about, so I plan to travel light and try not to cause too much shock."

"I beg Senior Demon King to send a small team of elite demon cultivators from the Flame Scale Royal Family to follow me and eliminate these strongholds one by one."

"In order to conceal their presence, Qinjian Villa was unable to send any support, so the powerful men of the Iron Wing Clan..."

Zhou Yiqiao looked directly into the eyes of the Flame Scale Demon King and continued.

"Then I'll have to trouble the seniors of the Flame Scale Imperial Family."

After listening to Zhou Yiqiao's plan, the Flame Scale Demon King pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly to show his agreement.

"Okay, as you say."

The Flame Scale Demon King said in a deep voice.

"I will personally select an elite team of demon cultivators for you to ensure the smooth progress of this operation."

After saying that, the Flame Scale Demon King stood up and gave a few instructions to the guards outside the door.

The guards took the order and left. Soon, several elders of the Flame Scale Royal Family who had not been present came to the main hall with some young demon cultivators.

Among these demon cultivators, there are several descendants of the Flame Scale Demon Emperor. They all have a calm aura and firm eyes, and one can tell at a glance that they are the best among the Flame Scale royal family.

The Flame Scale Demon King's gaze swept over everyone one by one, and finally stopped on one of the young demon cultivators.

"Yan Yi, you go with Zhou Yiqiao."

There was unquestionable majesty in the voice of the Flame Scale Demon King.

"Yes, Father."

The young demon cultivator known as Yan Yi stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

Yan Yi is the third son of the Flame Scale Demon Emperor and also a leader among the younger generation of the Flame Scale royal family. His strength should not be underestimated.

Afterwards, the Flame Scale Demon King selected several elders and young demon cultivators to form a team of ten people.

These demon cultivators either have high levels of cultivation or are proficient in certain special skills, and are all suitable candidates to carry out secret missions.

After completing the selection, the Flame Scale Demon King turned to Zhou Yiqiao with a solemn expression.

"Zhou Yiqiao, this team is now in your hands. I hope you can make good use of them and complete this mission."

"I will definitely live up to the trust of Senior Demon King."

Zhou Yiqiao bowed solemnly.

According to the previous agreement, Zhou Yiqiao handed the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass to the Flame Scale Demon King.

The Flame Scale Demon King took the Nine-Turn Resurrection Grass, but did not put it into his storage ring. Instead, he created a light shield and kept it floating steadily above the main hall.

"Since you are willing to hand over the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Grass, my Flame Scale Royal Family will naturally not break our promise."

"No one will get close to this treasure until you return successfully."

As the top powerful being in the Tianchen Realm, the Flame Scale Demon King was willing to do so, which could be said to have given Zhou Yiqiao enough face.

"Don't worry, Senior Demon King. It won't be long before the Flame Scale Royal Family's suffering that has lasted for a million years will be completely resolved."

Zhou Yiqiao bowed again, then quietly left Yanlin City with the selected monsters.

After leaving Yanlin City with the team, Zhou Yiqiao did not rush to go to the marked location immediately according to the information on the jade slip to destroy the smuggling network of the great elder.

As the saying goes, if you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Before that, Zhou Yiqiao had to reorganize the ten demon cultivators behind him so that these people could obey his command to avoid unnecessary confusion and misunderstanding during the operation.

A group of demon cultivators followed Zhou Yiqiao and came to a valley near Yanlin City.

According to the geographical records of Zoroastrianism provided by the Flame Scale Demon Emperor, this place is a remote valley with no monster tribes stationed around it. Even if a big noise is made, it will not attract other people's attention.

After bringing everyone to the valley, Zhou Yiqiao blocked the only way out and spoke to the monsters.

"I know some of you are unwilling to follow a human monk like me. Now I will give you a chance to choose."

"As long as you can escape from this valley from my grasp, I will let you leave on your own."
