From the fake emperor to the concubine

Under the attack of Demon Lord Huiyue, Zheng Yi could only retreat step by step.

This is because, although his current pure human emperor body cannot suppress Demon Lord Huiyue, he will not be suppressed by the other party either.

There is almost no impact caused by the realm gap between the two sides.

Otherwise, even if he is already a cultivator in the crystallization stage.

He would be killed instantly by Demon Lord Huiyue just like his apprentice, Lin Feng and Su Yao.

However, the more this happened, the angrier Demon Lord Huiyue became.

This damn human in front of me is just a weakling with no strength.

But he, who always prided himself on being powerful, was actually fooled around by this hateful human.

If I didn’t think that the other person must have rare treasures on him.

He would have crushed this guy to dust long ago.

"Human, do not challenge my patience. The treasures on you are legitimate, but they cannot save your life."

"Surrender and save me from trouble. This is your only choice!"

Zheng Yi gritted his teeth and persisted. The new talent that emerged after the breakthrough was no longer able to suppress Demon Lord Huiyue.

Under normal circumstances, he should be feeling more and more pressure now.

But Zheng Yi could clearly feel that the terrifying pressure unique to the Golden Core Master coming from the other party was gradually decreasing.

This definitely does not mean that Demon Lord Huiyue has become weaker.

Even though it wasn't long ago that Demon Lord Huiyue blocked most of the thunder tribulations for him, this was definitely not enough to weaken this powerful Jindan cultivator.

The real reason could only be that I had become stronger.

In addition to dealing with the crazy attacks of Demon Lord Huiyue, Zheng Yi focused most of his attention on himself.

He could now clearly feel that every time the spiritual energy circulated through his body, his strength would grow a little bit stronger.

At first Zheng Yi felt strange.

Even if the Immaculate Human Emperor's body is powerful enough, it's impossible to fake the improvement of strength.

According to his current rate of improvement, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth will be absorbed by him crazily, and he will not be able to hide it from anyone.

However, apart from the continuous improvement in strength, there was no special change.

Not to mention Demon Lord Huiyue, even he himself would hardly have noticed it if he had not carefully experienced it.

I checked it again carefully.

However, the battle with Demon Lord Huiyue left him with no choice but to focus on examining the reasons for the changes in himself.

After all, Demon Lord Huiyue is not here to eat for nothing.

Every time he fights, he needs to concentrate fully to deal with it.

This was even when Demon Lord Huiyue coveted the treasure on him and did not use his full strength.

Once the opponent's patience is completely exhausted, he might not even be able to resist.

"Wait!" Zheng Yi suddenly took a few steps back and put some distance between himself and Demon Lord Huiyue.

Seeing this, Demon Lord Huiyue did not continue to pursue.

He just sneered at Zheng Yi and said, "Human, it seems that you have finally figured it out. Are you ready to offer your treasure?"

Zheng Yi's face turned red and white, as if he was struggling with his conscience.

Of course, in fact, Zheng Yi is working hard to practice his skills and test the improvement of his strength.

No matter what the current battle situation is, one's own strength is the top priority.

Of course, on the surface, Zheng Yi pretended to be really scared.

"Senior, even if I give you the treasure, we will still die, and it will not do us any good."

Demon Lord Huiyue snorted coldly, "But you can die a little easier. I can make sure that you die without any extra pain."

“Otherwise… hehehe.” Demon Lord Huiyue laughed strangely twice; “You will definitely hope that you can die sooner.”

"And I have said before that if you make me unhappy, even if you die, don't think you can be free from this."

"We, the Dark Spirit Clan, are best at enslaving souls. I can make sure that you will never be reincarnated."

The voice of Demon Lord Huiyue became more and more sinister and vicious. "For those treasures that you are completely unable to protect, you will be tortured by me for eternity."

"You should understand the consequences of this?"

Zheng Yi cooperated very well, with a look of fear and despair in his eyes, and he even shivered uncontrollably.

Looking at his appearance, it seemed as if he had really been frightened by Demon Lord Huiyue.

After hesitating for a moment, Zheng Yi seemed to have made a decision. He gritted his teeth and took out a bead.

The bead was snow-white all over, and even shimmered with a faint glow.

Demon Lord Huiyue suddenly became alert, even though he did not feel any fluctuation of magical power from the bead.

But at this critical moment, it is impossible for this guy in front of him to take something that is useless.

So there is only one possibility, this thing is very powerful, even so powerful that it can escape the perception of him, a powerful Jindan.

Zheng Zhengyi had a determined yet relieved smile on his face; "Senior Demon Lord may not recognize this bead. This is the innate magic spell unique to our lineage, and we have never told any outsiders about it."

If anyone from the original world heard what Zheng Yi said now, they would probably die of laughter.

It was just because what Zheng Yi was holding in his hand at this moment was not some extremely powerful magical weapon, or some unique treasure.

It was just an ordinary pearl.

The only difference between this pearl and ordinary pearls is that it is slightly larger, slightly rounder, and emits a faint white light.

For ordinary people, such pearls should indeed be considered as an invaluable treasure.

But for cultivators, this kind of thing is of little help to their cultivation and is simply useless garbage.

The biggest proof is that when Zheng Yi reconstructed his body before, all the things containing a little spiritual energy, crystals, and magic weapons disappeared.

Only this pearl fell to the ground and no one paid attention to it.

Zheng Yi accidentally discovered him when he was changing clothes.

After all, it was brought from my original world. Even though it was useless, it was still a memory.

The situation is urgent now, so I have to take it out to fool Demon Lord Huiyue.

Demon Lord Huiyue didn't know that in just a blink of an eye, the guy in front of him had woven another huge lie.
He sneered disdainfully, "You don't want to tell me what kind of extraordinary treasure this thing is, do you?"

Zheng Yi's mouth curled up slightly and he shook his head slowly; "The Demon Lord should be able to feel that there is no fluctuation of mana here."

"If you insist on calling this thing a treasure, let alone a senior cultivator like you, even a fellow in the Qi Refining Stage would never believe that this could be some great treasure."

Demon Lord Huiyue snorted coldly with a sullen face; "In that case, what's the point of you taking this thing out?"

"Your Excellency the Demon Lord, please be patient. I am just about to explain this to you." The Demon Lord Huiyue did not notice at all that Zheng Yi's speaking speed had unconsciously slowed down a bit at this moment, and he started to speak at length. It sounded like he said a lot, but in fact it was all nonsense.

"This thing is called the Soul Gathering Pearl. As long as we enter the sect, we must refine a part of our soul fragments into this pearl..."

"Junior, do you think I am an idiot who knows nothing? There is no way that there is any fragment of your soul in this bead." Although Demon Lord Huiyue said it with certainty, his eyes were always fixed on Zheng Yi.

Obviously, he just wanted to see whether he was lying or not.

Zheng Yi's gaze did not dodge at all, and he looked at Demon Lord Huiyue without fear.

I wonder how many times Demon Lord Huiyue has seen such looks.

Whether they are monks or ordinary people, most of them are filled with fear and panic when they know that they are about to die.

But in this world, there are some special people who, after knowing that they are going to die, become calm and fearless.

"Don't be anxious, Lord Demon. I haven't finished speaking yet." Zheng Yi spoke calmly without any concern.

The first flaw was left there specifically for Demon Lord Huiyue to discover.

The reason for this is that Zheng Yi learned it from a magician before he traveled through time.

At that time, he just thought it was fun and he didn't expect that it would be useful one day.

The magician said on TV at the time that when he performed certain magic tricks, he would often fail on purpose or reveal a small flaw.

Let those "smart" viewers discover it.

Unlike a perfect performance, these "mistakes" often make the magic more effective.

Therefore, Zheng Yi deliberately said something full of loopholes so that Demon Lord Huiyue could discover the loopholes.

The reason why he dared to do so was that he was sure that Demon Lord Huiyue was greedy, suspicious, and indecisive.

"Just as Lord Demon said, this Soul Gathering Bead is actually an ordinary bead. Let alone my soul, it actually doesn't even have the slightest power."

Zheng Yi dared to fool people with just a pearl, of course it was not something he did just assume.

But it is because there is no such pearl in the Canglan world.

Although he had never been to the Canglan Realm in person, he had seen this world through so many substitutes.

No one, whether nuns or ordinary women, had ever worn jewelry like pearls.

There are only two possibilities for this situation to occur.

Or items like pearls are extremely precious in the Canglan Realm, and may even be materials for refining magical instruments.

Or maybe there is no such thing in this world at all.

The first guess is obviously unlikely. No matter how precious pearls are, there will always be women who do not care about the value of this thing, but simply regard this shiny thing as an ornament.

Of course, all this is just Zheng Yi's guess.

After all, he only knew about the Canglan Realm through Bai Zhirui and the others.

Without having really lived in this world, it is easy to overlook a lot of details.

But at this moment, Zheng Yi really couldn't find anything more suitable to fool Demon Lord Huiyue.

Therefore, I can only use this pearl as a temporary substitute.

At least the success rate of using this thing is much better than taking anything else from this world.

If I really use things from this world, I will probably be exposed by Demon Lord Huiyue immediately.

Seeing the reaction of Demon Lord Huiyue, Zheng Yi was secretly delighted; "This guy really got fooled."

Not daring to be careless at all, Zheng Yi didn't even dare to show the slightest joy.

He raised the pearls in his hand and said, "You may not believe this, but these soul-gathering beads all came from the sky."

"Every August 1st, the sky starts to rain beads, which last for half an hour within a hundred miles."

"Although there are many fallen beads, only about 10% of them are in pairs and cannot be separated. Only such beads can be refined into soul-gathering beads by the elders of our sect."

"One of these soul-gathering beads will be carried by us, the sect's disciples, and the other will be stored in the sect's Soul-Calming Hall."

"Once we die, or the Soul Gathering Orb breaks, the other one stored in the Soul Calming Hall will also break."

"Our souls will naturally follow and be scattered along with us."

Seeing that Demon Lord Huiyue wanted to speak, Zheng Yi immediately added, "I believe that Demon Lord should also understand that our sect is also very good at controlling souls."

"Therefore, any magical weapon refined by our sect will be soul-bound with the souls of the sect's disciples."

"Once we die, our soul contract will explode and immediately destroy those treasures."

Demon Lord Huiyue, who was already getting a little impatient and was secretly preparing to capture the person first, suddenly stopped.

Reason told him that the guy in front of him was most likely lying.

How could there be such a weird sect in this world?
And that damn soul-gathering bead should also be something this guy made up. How could there be such a weird thing?

Pearls raining from the sky?

That would have killed someone, and it's a pity this guy could make that up.

But then I thought again, this guy seemed to be from a different world from me.

Things that are impossible to happen in your own world may not be impossible to happen in the other person's world.

At this moment, two voices were fighting each other in the mind of Demon Lord Huiyue.

One of them absolutely did not believe what Zheng Yi said, while the other felt that what he said might be true.

The guy in front of me must have some powerful magic weapon.

If we force the other party to self-destruct the soul-gathering bead, causing all those magical weapons to be useless, wouldn't that be a loss?

I would be unwilling to accept not getting anything after putting in so much effort.

Zheng Yi sneered in his heart. Just by looking at the other person's appearance, he knew how old he was.

The reason for this is not because Demon Lord Huiyue is really stupid, it’s simply a matter of the cost of silence.

Before he traveled through time, why did someone get scammed and lose all his life savings?

Because they have invested too much, they dare not even think about whether the other party might be a scammer.

Because the consequence was totally unacceptable to them.

Although the current Demon Lord Huiyue has not reached this level, a smart person like him is sometimes easier to fool.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion." Zheng Yi's expression became serious.

"As long as you swear to Lord Canglan Ming that you will let us all leave alive."

"I will give you all the treasures I have."

As if afraid that the other party would not believe him, Zheng Yi added: "I will also swear to Lord Canglan that I will definitely hand over all the treasures on me to His Excellency the Demon Lord."

Zheng Yi emphasized the two words "all". (End of this chapter)
