Commanding Wind and Cloud

The reason why Qian Zhanxuan was able to stand above all other masters probably that his soul realm was even more powerful than his warrior power and fighting techniques.

"What could his soul realm be?" Qian Jin was very curious. "According to Uncle Enlak, soul realms typically are connected and affected by the warrior powers and fight techniques. Of course, there are also cases where soul realms were completely different from warriors’ backgrounds and knowledge.

"How powerful is the Kun-Fighting Technique of the Qian Family?" Qian Jin knew the clear answer to this question.

"Could it be that Qian Zhanxuan’s soul realm is about gravity? Gravity Soul Realm with Kun-Fighting Technique? How much power is in this combination? An elephant would probably be crushed into a meat pie." Qian Jin thought, "Could it be anything else?"

He frowned and started to plan ahead. If Qian Zhanxuan really had the Gravity Soul Realm, then he would have to train using that gravity magic conductor more, and he might need to ask Akenash to strengthen it so that he could be more prepared for future battles.

Qian Jin pushed open the door of his room, and he squinted his eyes to get used to the sunshine. Then, he looked at those several familiar figures standing in the yard.

Duren Burg, Fanta Kunge, Cech Flet, Lucifer Lucy, Zence Matten, and Eunala were all here.

"This?" Qian Jin looked at them with a puzzled expression.

"Aren’t we going to steal? Zence Matten fanned himself and smiled as he walked up, "Today is the best opportunity!"

"Today is the best opponent?" Qian Jin was a little stunned.

Zence Matten nodded and smiled confidently, "You should have completely recovered, right?"

Qian Jin nodded; he would be underestimating these people’s IQs if he still wanted to act.

Everyone was keeping up the unspoken rules, so no one tried to find out why Qian Jin was able to recover this fast. Instead, they would wander around his room when he was in seclusion training, and they could stop any person or demon who looked suspicious.

"Who else would know that you’ve recovered except us?" Zence Matten said with a cunning smile, "Who would believe that the mixed-blood demon who almost died yesterday completely recovered in one night?"

Fei nodded. It was true! Even elite potions wouldn’t be able to heal someone immediately; they could only help with increased recovery speed.

"Then, how much of a guard do you think Crown Prince will have toward you when you are this injured?" Zence Matten said to Qian Jin with a smile, "Everyone saw how ferocious you were yesterday. If you are in your prime, everyone would be careful around you. However, since you were severely injured yesterday, they could be less guarded."

"Also..." Lucifer Lucy added with a smile, "For some reason, Serage left Fallen City last night, and he can only come back in seven days with the fastest speed."

"What happened?" Qian Jin got curious. At this critical moment, Lucifer Serage wouldn’t leave the Capital with his intelligence.

"I can’t tell you that..." Lucifer Lucy looked at Qian Jin and apologized. "It is the internal matter of our demons."

"Internal matter?" Qian Jin thought, "In Lucifer Serage’s eyes, nothing is more important than the Heart of Lucifer. He won’t leave even if a demon clan is launching a rebellion!"

"Could it be?" Qian Jin suddenly thought of something, and his eyes opened wide. The order from the Demon King! That was the only thing that could make Lucifer Serage leave the city!

"If it is an order from Lucifer, why? What is so important that the Crown Prince has to take care of it himself?" Qian Jin wondered.

"War! Or war preparation!" Qian Jin thought about this as he looked at Lucifer Lucy, but this princess was looking away, trying not to look at Qian Jin in the eyes.

"Probably..." Zence Matten sighed, "War is really about to be here. The Zence Empire has been preparing for it as well."

Lucifer Lucy fell into a moment of silence. The war between the two kingdoms wasn’t something that she could get involved in, and neither could Zence Matten.

Even though they did a lot of things together and could block knives for each other, this involves the core value of an empire. Lucifer Lucy was a princess of the demons, and she couldn’t tell Qian Jin any secrets even though she loved him dearly.

Perhaps other females would have told Qian Jin, but not Lucifer Lucy. As an independent female demon, she couldn’t do it! If she told Qian Jin about the big secrets in the demon empire, then she wouldn’t be Princess Lucifer Lucy!

Zence Matten knew about this, and so did Qian Jin. Even though they had many guesses in their minds, they were going to ask each other. It was an unspoken agreement.

Duren Burg looked at Qian Jin and then at Lucifer Lucy. He sighed, "No wonder people say that love between humans and demons isn’t going to end well. You two..... Eh... What can I say?"

Lucifer Lucy was looking at the ground silently, and Qian Jin was thinking about this situation as well. If they were going to fight for their races, what should they do? If they one day met on the battlefield...

"Let’s think about these troubling matters later!" Zence Matten fanned himself and said, "Let’s talk about the situation at hand. How can we get our hands on the Heart of Lucifer?"

Everyone ditched the troubling thoughts and looked at Zence Matten in unison. When everyone was still asleep this morning, it was this prince who woke everyone up and pulled them to Qian Jin’s door.

"The more complicated a plan is, the easier it is to fail. As a result, anything can go wrong making it more likely to fail," he said.

Fanta Kunge nodded in agreement. It was the same theory as military commands. The most intelligent advisors and commanders would make the simplest and most effective strategies in war. Only those who were inexperienced and idiotic would talk about fancy arts. The long and detailed plans would usually fail.

"It is simple," Zence Matten said, "The competition yesterday was our best cover. Fanta Kunge and I participated, making others believe that Qian Jin, Kunge, and I are the most powerful subordinates."

Eunala nodded. If she didn’t know about the power of Cech Flet, she would have believed that.

"Right now, Kunge and I will be looked down by other demons, Qian Jin was severely injured and will be treated as a normal demon, and Burg and Cech will be treated as useless demons." Zence Matten pointed at Lucifer Lucy with his fan and said, "Right now, all other demons will think that Princess is the most powerful demon in our group."

Lucifer Lucy nodded and didn’t disagree; Zence Matten’s logic was correct.

"Therefore, since Qian Jin wasn’t well and could be assassinated at any moment, us appearing by his side and protecting him would be a reasonable excuse." Zence Matten said to Qian Jin, "When you bring us into the ruins, if you are direct and overbearing about it, those guards wouldn’t dare to stop you, and they wouldn’t expect us to attack."

"We will go right after we take it!" Zence Matten opened his fan and said, "Then, we will go to the Bhang Family, and we won’t attract any attention. Then, we can leave once we get the item that Bhang Wusheng wants. We shouldn’t wait for Lucifer Serage to come back. I feel like he is very strong, and we might not be able to defeat him even if we join forces."

Qian Jin nodded as well; he had this feeling more than once. The power of Lucifer Serage wasn’t as limited as he appeared.

"Since we’ve decided..." Duren Burg smiled at Qian Jin and added, "Let’s move!"

"Let’s go!"

"Qian Jin..." Lucifer Lucy whispered at Qian Jin, "Can you let me borrow the Dark Demon Armor? Only the royal bloodline won’t be controlled by it and be sucked dry. Cech might not be able to use it. I can utilize it better..."

"Sure!"

After getting the Dark Demon Armor, Lucifer Lucy was so happy that her single eye curled up into the shape of a crescent moon. She threw that saint item into her warrior dimension and said, "I finally got it back! You can’t get it from me anymore!"

Dark Demon Armor was one of the components in the Lucifer Family’s saint item set.

Qian Jin never knew what he should do about this saint item. He wanted to give it to Cech Flet, but he was afraid that there might be issues with it. After all, Cech Flet was only a mixed-blood, far from having the royal bloodline of Lucifer.

"You can have it," Cech Flet said, "Without saint items, I’m still Cech Flet!"

"I’m not lying about the consequences." Lucifer Lucy said as she took out the Dark Demon Armor from her warrior dimension. Then, she lightly pressed her finger on it.

The Dark Demon Armor suddenly flew into the air and split into many pieces. Then, Lucifer Lucy walked up, and the pieces fell onto her body perfectly. It seemed like the hard metal adjusted to her body shape.

Saint items were almost like living creatures. They could change their forms to fit the users.

With the Dark Demon Armor on her body, Lucifer Lucy looked more alluring with her curvy body shaped highlighted. The beautiful magic energy flowed between runes on the armor, looking like rivers in the mountains.

"Qian Jin, am I pretty?" Lucifer Lucy walked up to Qian Jin and showcased her gorgeous body. Her perfectly-shaped legs look even more slender with the Dark Demon Armor helping her to squeeze her waist.
