That's all for today, something came up suddenly.

The Left Envoy comforted him at this moment, "Don't worry. Even if Jiang Ningshu has gained strength, she definitely won’t be a match for you."

The South End Demon Lord had no choice but to say, "Fine, I’ll give it a try."

He agreed, but whether he could actually succeed was another matter.

There wasn’t much else left to discuss.

The Left Envoy spoke up, "Is there anything else? If not, let’s adjourn."

"Wait a moment. I’d like to ask—what should we do about Su Luo?" the Right Envoy interjected.

The failure of the demonic alliance couldn’t just be let go so easily.

"I’ll punish him."

The Left Envoy chuckled inwardly. Punish himself? That was out of the question.

"Good. I don’t want him getting off scot-free," the Right Envoy replied.

The reason the Right Envoy wanted Su Luo punished was to pressure the Left Envoy—to make him understand that as the Demon Lord, he couldn’t act recklessly without consequences.

The Left Envoy didn’t have that kind of power.

At the same time, the Right Envoy had another motive.

Once the Left Envoy punished Su Luo, he would reward him instead.

Yes, the Right Envoy was planning to poach him.

With that, the meeting concluded, and the attendees gradually dispersed.

Su Luo began writing another entry in his diary.

[Lin Xuan is about to break through to the Hollow Void stage and has a new plan.]

[Reviving Elder Yan—what a familiar plotline.]

[Well, it’s more about crafting a special body for Elder Yan.]

[To accomplish this, he’ll need to gather materials.]

[Coincidentally, the secret realm he enters is the same one the Left Envoy needs materials from.]

[Naturally, the Left Envoy assigned me to go. Unsurprisingly, I encountered Lin Xuan again in the secret realm.]

[But before that, I’ll gain a power-up in the secret realm.]

[There’s an ancient demonic remnant soul lurking there, surviving by relying on a Soul Anchoring Pearl.]

[And this very pearl is what Lin Xuan needs.]

[The remnant soul sets its sights on me, intending to possess my body.]

[Of course, it won’t reveal the truth. Instead, it grants me a surge of power, letting me experience it to deceive me.]

[It really is great power—no pain, no cost, just pure gain. Naturally, I’m thrilled, and then I run into Lin Xuan.]

[...]

[I’m defeated, and the remnant soul is exasperated, thinking I’m too much of a disgrace. It expends its energy to emerge from the Soul Anchoring Pearl, attempting to kill Lin Xuan and forcibly possess me.]

[So, I was just the warm-up. The real battle is between Lin Xuan and the remnant soul.]

[Lin Xuan’s physique is better than mine, but it’s unsuitable for the remnant soul, so it has no intention of possessing him.]

[...]

[The remnant soul is destroyed by Lin Xuan, but at a great cost. Elder Yan, who helped Lin Xuan, is injured and falls into a deep slumber.]

[However, Lin Xuan obtains the Soul Anchoring Pearl and intends to finish me off.]

[Unexpectedly, the secret realm collapses at that moment, and I narrowly escape death once again.]

[Of course, I also manage to find the materials the Left Envoy needs. His refinement will succeed, but everything afterward will be ruined by Lin Xuan.]

Su Luo closed his diary.

[Diary entry completed. Reward: Constitution +2, Strength +4.]

[Acquired special ability: Gaze Binding Technique.]

[By locking eyes with the target, the target will be restrained in place for 5 seconds. Cooldown: 1 minute.]

Su Luo tested it out. It wasn’t a complete immobilization—the target could still move but couldn’t leave their spot.

Somehow, it felt a little disappointing.
