#560 - Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, I know

As everyone said, no man would talk about such a thing, not just because of his character, but also because exposing the Third Elder wouldn't do him any good. After all, everyone's hands weren't clean.

But some things can't be hidden forever. Once exposed, they will eventually come to light.

Before long, the news that the Third Elder was keeping a mistress outside spread throughout the entire Xuanwu Clan, though I don't know which big mouth accidentally let it slip.

That day, everyone saw the usually imposing Third Elder being beaten to a pulp on the ground by his wife. The terrifying demon power directly collapsed the palace, and the commotion attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

Knowing he was in the wrong, the Third Elder immediately transformed into his original form and hid in his turtle shell, not moving an inch, letting his wife beat him without fighting back.

His wife was furious and wanted to kill the human mistress and Wu Menghuan, but Wu Menglan had already become Qin Changqing's woman, which was equivalent to having a death-exemption token. Who would dare to touch her? She could only vent all her anger on her own man.

If Wu Changkong hadn't come forward to defuse the situation, no one knew how this farce would have ended.

Of course, that's all in the future. At this time, the Third Elder didn't know his fate yet. After leaving the main hall, he immediately rushed to find Wu Menghuan to discuss the matter.

That night, in Wu Changkong's palace chamber.

A figure stealthily landed outside the hall. Just as he was about to send a message talisman to report, his eyes suddenly twitched. Another figure landed not far away.

The newcomer also immediately noticed the other's presence. His figure froze, and he slowly turned his head to look: "Why are you here?"

The former coughed dryly and said: "The night is long and I can't sleep. I wanted to talk to the Clan Leader about the future development of the Xuanwu Clan. What about you, too?"

The two knew each other's intentions, and smiled and nodded: "Exactly!"

Before he finished speaking, another person descended not far away. The three of them stared at each other, their expressions twitching.

"You can't sleep either?"

"... Uh, yes!"

"Since that's the case, you go first."

"No, no, no, my matter is not urgent. You go first!"

The three were very polite, and all gestured for the other to go first.

"Come in, all of you!"

Just as the three were arguing, the formation suddenly opened, and Wu Changkong's voice came out, apparently having already discovered their presence.

The three of them had stiff faces and could only bite the bullet and enter together.

Inside the bedroom.

Wu Changkong, wearing a loose robe, smiled meaningfully and looked at the burly man in front of him, laughing: "Sixth Elder, there are no outsiders here. Feel free to say anything."

The Sixth Elder looked left and right. Seeing that there was indeed no one, he was still not at ease. He waved his hand to set up a soundproof formation, and then cautiously transmitted his voice: "Clan Leader, in fact, I also have a few outside... you know, over the past tens of thousands of years, they have given birth to some offspring for me. Although not many, one of my daughters is quite good, with an excellent bloodline. Although her aptitude is not very high, her appearance is definitely top-notch. What do you think..."

Wu Changkong laughed loudly: "That's right, Sixth Elder. This kind of thing is not only good for my Xuanwu Clan, but also good for you. More people mean more opportunities. It doesn't matter if their aptitude is low. As long as they can please the Vice-Alliance Master and give birth to offspring for my Xuanwu Clan, the children born will not be bad. Since that's the case, hurry back and bring her here! Don't worry, only you and I know about this. Absolutely no third person will know."

"Thank you, Clan Leader!"

The Sixth Elder breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands, and took his leave.

Just as he arrived outside the hall, the Sixth Elder's figure paused, and his gaze fell on the three people who had just entered.

The four of them looked at each other and saw the deep meaning in each other's eyes.

The Sixth Elder looked straight ahead, as if he hadn't seen the three of them at all, and flew directly out of the hall, shooting into the sky.

This is the tacit understanding between men.

These days, Wu Changkong's palace chamber was particularly lively, especially at night. Figures kept flying in and out secretly, arriving nervously and leaving happily.

The number of names in Wu Changkong's hands became more and more abundant, and the smile on his face became more and more prosperous.

It seems that these guys secretly keeping people outside does have some benefits after all...

In the heart of the Demon Domain, there is an extremely large ancient tree.

This tree has lush branches and leaves, and is thousands of feet tall. The main body is actually a tree demon that has cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years.

This tree demon was born here, and because of its good talent and the ability to detect underground spiritual veins and treasures, it attached itself to the thigh of the Qingluan Clan, one of the ten royal clans.

Qingluan put away the jade slip, frowned and said: "You all know the Vice-Alliance Master's ability. As long as it is a woman, she can conceive bloodline descendants. Since that is the case, why limit ourselves to Earth-grade and above? Earth-grade and below are also possible. Could it be that they are unwilling?"

The elder shook his head and said: "How could anyone be unwilling to do such a thing? Everyone is rushing to come. I just feel that the various clans in the Demon Domain are making preparations now, and the Vice-Alliance Master has limited energy and may not be able to cope with too many, so..."

Qingluan snorted: "This is not something you should worry about. My Qingluan Clan's ranking is lower than the Feng Clan and the Zhuque Clan. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Send people over first. As for whether or not they will be favored, it still depends on the Vice-Alliance Master!"

The elder was slightly startled, and then understood Qingluan's thoughts, and nodded: "Yes, Clan Leader, I will go back and arrange it."

Qingluan nodded and threw the jade slip to the other party: "Revise the list and give it to me again. This matter is of great importance and cannot be sloppy!"

"Yes!"

The elder took the jade slip, looked at Qingluan and hesitated.

Qingluan glanced sideways: "Anything else?"

The elder hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "Do you need to add your name to it too?"

Qingluan was stunned, and then two red clouds flew onto her pretty face, pretending to be calm and saying: "My cultivation has already reached the peak of the Tribulation Transcension stage, and I will soon be undergoing the thunder tribulation. Moreover, I am the Clan Leader, how can I have the mind to consider such things!"

The elder smiled and said: "Clan Leader is overthinking it. You are a Heaven-grade bloodline. If you can have offspring with the Vice-Alliance Master, then that would be an Emperor-grade bloodline! Even Tu Shan Hui and Zong Qiling can, why can't you? Are you not tempted by their Emperor-grade bloodline children?

Moreover, if you are favored by the Vice-Alliance Master, he will definitely not stand idly by when you undergo the thunder tribulation. With the Changqing Alliance's foundation, casually bestowing a few magic weapons can ensure your safety. Clan Leader, this matter is beneficial and harmless, think twice!"
