"I originally thought that you two beautiful ladies had already been ruined by that old fool Jia Qiuchi, but unexpectedly you escaped. Very good, very good. With you two, plus Princess Changqing, and this female general who has rendered meritorious services—if I'm not mistaken, she's Brother Shi's daughter."

"It's been so long, and my good niece has grown up this much. Even better."

"My three thousand Jade Concubines can add four more positions, hehe."

As Zhao Liujia spoke these words, the Jiang Sisters and Lady Bei were flushed with anger.

That radiant face again provoked Zhao Liujia, who suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with a pathological and twisted possessiveness. The red ropes on his body fell off, as if countless red snakes were dancing, and even those tainted bodies were strung together.

Amid the filthy background noise, Zhao Liujia's disgusting and sticky voice came through the red rope mirror:

"Four Jade Concubines, don't be anxious."

"I will send the nearby Red Rope Army lads to find you."

"This world is full of misery, whether you are God Demon Spiritual Cultivation or of the imperial family, eventually you can't ensure tomorrow... It's better to find a good match to entrust your life, and I am that good match. As long as you marry me, we can cultivate together, and on the day of achieving Perfect Merit, I will ascend to the Red Rope Immortal Realm with my three thousand Jade Concubines."

"Madman!"

"Pa"

Hearing these words, which could only be described as mad and filthy, Lady Bei finally couldn't bear it.

The Thunder Sound Cone was thrown, lightning exploded, and shattered that red rope mirror to pieces.

After doing this, Lady Bei's face was pale.

She had once placed her hopes of restoring her country and avenging her family on this person, who would have thought that a dignified Demon Cleansing General would turn into such a figure?

Not to mention, when she was young, she used to call Zhao Liujia Uncle Zhao, plus he coveted Princess Changqing who hadn't even turned ten years old... Thinking of these things, the originally strong female general was filled with intense anger and bent over, retching.

What was even more unbearable for her was the subsequent change.

The identity of the Jiang Sisters was exposed!

She even saved the county's children.

But then no one welcomed the empress and imperial concubines, at first showing vigilance and dread, and then disdain.

They directly spoke out, expelling a few people.

The reason?

Pei, Wu 2 Commandery, is now the territory of Red Rope Emperor Zhao Liujia.

If he wants to capture you to be Jade Concubines, he will definitely dispatch more twisted and powerful Red Rope Army to come here.

If they stayed in Anping County, they would inevitably implicate the citizens of the whole city.

Although Lady Bei could summon thunder and lightning to teach these ungrateful people a lesson, she couldn't bring herself to do it, almost furious.

Fortunately, Jiang Caiping, the former empress, had already calmed down and advised calmly:

"In such times, blame no one, besides, Liang Country has long lost the people's hearts. If it's gone, it's gone, my family can no longer be considered nobles."

"Since we've been targeted by that traitor, in order to avoid implicating others' lives, we should indeed leave early."

"We must leave, that traitor's dispatched Red Rope Army is probably on its way."

With these few words, the family, already without a place to go, was expelled again from Anping County.

Until this moment, Tao Buddha's son did not take any action to help, lying leisurely in the warm embrace of the empress, resting his head on her jade-like skin, inhaling the fragrance, and receiving the various secrets and information newly acquired by the [Little Divination Worm] from Anping County.

Due to the short stay, the infiltration was not deep, so he could not obtain much.

However, a county is bound to contain more secrets and information about this world than barren mountains and wild lands.

After sifting through, Tao Qian still made significant gains.

He received and refined while sighing:

"A world where nothing is ensured tomorrow, sorrowful Search God Realm!"

"All Heavens Gods and Demons come here to reap benefits, making regime changes seem like child's play. No one cares about anything else; everyone is solely focused on hoping to win the favor of a powerful Outer Realm Demon God to seek a way out."

"The outsider Gods and Demons act in such a way, so naturally it can't be blamed that the Human Clan of this world is fickle and easily changes allegiance."

"That Zhao Liujia could have become a Heavenly Gang Spirit Officer, but when he saw that the Heavenly Gang Divine Generals were no match for Lord Red Rope, he simply discarded his mask of righteousness and became a willing dog of the Red Rope God."

"The benefit promised by Lord Red Rope: granting him the ritual secret book, allowing him to gather three thousand beauties for Dual Cultivation, and when he completed that jade token, he could ascend to the nonsensical Red Rope Immortal Realm, enjoying eternal bliss."

"And the price: Zhao Liujia needed to dismantle all Heavenly Gang Divine Generals' temples in Liang Country and replace them with [Red Rope Temples], letting the name of Red Rope spread, allowing the Red Rope method to propagate."

"It seems like a fair trade, a fair business."

"Hehe, once the Red Rope Temple spreads throughout the Liang Country, I'm afraid the Red Rope God will immediately cast spells, draining the entire Liang Country dry."

"If this were in other worlds, such actions would surely backfire. Even the Innate Gods and Demons couldn't accomplish it."

"But the Search God Realm is quite different."

"In this realm, the Heavenly Dao has loosened countless restrictions for self-preservation, hoping to attract investment from Gods and Demons across the heavens, and Daoist lineages... If its source were problem-free, this strategy might work."

"But everyone knows there is a flaw in the source of the Search God Realm, destined to be shattered. Which God or Demon would invest and watch their efforts go down the drain?"

"The eventual outcome, naturally, is to exploit as much as possible, draining the pond to catch the fish."

Tao Buddha's son fell silent for a moment as these thoughts flashed by.

Soon he chuckled inwardly, speaking to himself:

"I have come precisely for this purpose."

"But now I am weak, I must temporarily lie low, first accompany these two 'Peach Blossom Goddesses' for a few days to better understand the local situation before proceeding."

"Directly replacing the [Red Rope God] or [Emperor Heavenly Talisman] among other Gods and Demons isn't realistic, let alone there are other Daoist inheritors and Secret Demon Child."

"Why not set a small goal first, completely subdue these two women and then proceed."

"Hmm, it should be soon."

"For at least several months to come, the Liang Country will be engulfed in smoke, constant warfare. This female general may be brave, but she cannot protect her family for more than a few days."

"At key moments, they will certainly call upon the 'Peach Blossom God' for help."

"It is well-known in this realm: when seeking aid from Gods and Demons, one must adhere to rituals and offer sufficiently good tributes, these Jiang Sisters, an Empress and Imperial Concubine, are now all alone, what good offerings can they provide?"

...

Even Tao Qian himself didn't realize, his thoughts changed, increasingly exposing the true nature of a Demon Child, not to mention gradually influenced by the 'Ten Thousand Desires Evil Qi,' showing a treacherous, lustful demeanor.

If it were his original self, he would have been vigilant, using spells for suppression."

But naturally, he is Demon Child Tao Qian, aware yet indifferent."

And his predictions quickly came to fruition.

Even before that, he first tasted a bit of sweetness."

Originally, after leaving Anping County, for the next few days, the group was displaced, without a fixed abode."

One part dealing with pursuit, another caring for the two young ones, the young Crown Prince Li Xuan and Princess Li Changqing."

Despite the fact that only the Red Rope Army, under Zhao Liujia's orders, was seriously pursuing them, encountering other rebel armies and troubles merely because of their beauty or knowing their identities, wondering if they could make a gain."

Even so, Lady Bei was exhausted, struggling to cope."

On this day, everyone finally escaped Wu Jun and entered Langya County.

Beforehand, they heard Langya County was still under the control of Jia Qiuchi, but a new rebel army had risen in recent days, led by someone who reportedly received new divine teachings and clashed with Jia Qiuchi's army; the place was full of smoke."

The group dared not venture into the bustling towns, only seeking refuge in a deserted temple on the border."

This temple was called One-legged Temple, initially enshrined with a non-mainstream Wild God named 'One-legged God.'

Later, the Wild God either drained the believers dry and fled, or all believers went extinct, leaving it abandoned."

After days of arduous traveling, including Lady Bei, all were utterly exhausted."

After checking the place and seeing nothing amiss, each went to sleep."

The Jiang Sisters, Jiang Caiping and Jiang Caiyun, embraced the Peach Blossom God's idol as they slept."

Before sleep, the two women performed their usual ritual of wishing."

The two women originally thought this time, like the many times in the past few days, with nothing to offer as tribute, the Peach Blossom God would not respond."

But who would have thought?

In the middle of the night, the two unconsciously used Tao Qian's possessed idol as a pillow, instinctively resting it behind their heads."

It should be known that the idol was transformed from the Ten Thousand Desires Yin Yang Pillow, merely holding it was fine, without the owner's activation, no Extraordinary Power would show."

But never should it be placed behind the head; doing so would cause the Yin Yang Pillow, this Innate Spiritual Treasure, to manifest its Divine Power on its own, disregarding any orders from its owner."

Therefore, with this pillow, the sisters were directly pulled into the same dream."
