From the fake emperor to the concubine

Zheng Yi said this with confidence about all the treasures.

Demon Lord Huiyue really believed that everything the guy in front of him said was true.

But he had no way of knowing that although what Zheng Yi said was true, there was a big premise behind it.

The only "treasure" he had was the pearl in front of him.

Moreover, even if this pearl can be considered a treasure, it is still unclear whether it can be considered a treasure.

However, no matter whether it can be counted or not, Zheng Yi will definitely keep his word and hand this thing over to Demon Lord Huiyue.

Perhaps because of Zheng Yi's sincerity, he was really considering whether to let these people go.

"Just a few humans won't have any impact on the overall situation..."

For Demon Lord Huiyue, as long as he can get the treasure he wants, everything else doesn't matter.

Even if the Pluto Palace blamed him, it didn't matter. He only let go a few Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators and one Crystallization Stage cultivator.

To the Mingling clan, these few small cultivators are not even small shrimps.

Even if it was a punishment, it would be just a few scoldings at most, which didn't hurt him at all.

Despite this, Demon Lord Huiyue did not want to let these guys go so easily, especially the one in front of him who had toyed with him from beginning to end.

"What if I want to kill you today?" said Demon Lord Huiyue in a cruel manner.

Zheng Yi's expression changed slightly, but he quickly managed to refute: "Then I can only hope for a fight to the bitter end."

"Although I don't want to die, if I really don't have the chance, I will definitely not be afraid of death."

As he spoke, he deliberately raised the pearl in his hand and threatened: "But there is one thing I need to tell you in advance. This Soul Gathering Pearl is just an ordinary item and does not have any mana fluctuations."

"However, my sect elders were able to locate our current location through another broken soul gathering bead in the sect's soul-suppressing hall."

"I have used a secret method to preserve the appearance of the senior. Once I die, the elders of the sect will definitely follow my trail and come here."

The look in Demon Lord Huiyue's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"

Zheng Yi shrugged indifferently: "Your Excellency Demon Lord has misunderstood. I am just stating a fact. Perhaps the elders of my sect may not be a match for the Demon Lord."

If this were said to other cultivators, it might really cause them to rebel.

After all, as a cultivator, you are fighting against heaven and earth. If you are afraid of even the slightest threat, then what is the point of practicing?

But after all, cultivators are also human beings. Although the ghost spirits are very different from humans, according to Zheng Yi's observation, their way of thinking is actually not much different from that of humans.

The methods that are inappropriate for dealing with other cultivators are quite feasible for Demon Lord Huiyue, who is always cautious in doing anything.

Sure enough, Demon Lord Huiyue began to hesitate again.

He had been fighting with the human in front of him for such a long time that he knew very well how difficult this human was.

Even though the opponent was only in the early stage of crystallization and his realm was not yet completely stable, he was actually unable to defeat him for a while.

Although part of the reason for this was that he didn't want to destroy the other person's treasure, so he was somewhat restrained.

But the problem is that there is a whole realm gap between the two sides.

No matter what level of strength Zheng Yi truly possessed, after arriving in this world, he was just an ordinary cultivator who had just broken through to the crystallization stage.

Logically speaking, it is impossible to withstand the three moves and two styles of this Jindan master.

There is no need to say much about his strength. This guy's performance in the face of enemies is also one of the reasons why Demon Lord Huiyue is wary of him.

So many pursuers from the Nether Spirit Clan were almost all killed by this guy and his three Foundation Establishment ants.

The boy in front of me is already so perverted.

How strong are the seniors in his sect?
In fact, no matter how powerful Zheng Yi’s so-called sect is, with the family power of Demon Lord Huiyue, he may not be afraid of the other party.

It’s just that Demon Lord Huiyue has this kind of cautious and hesitant personality. Even though his strength has reached the Golden Core realm, he still acts in a cautious and hesitant manner.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Demon Lord Huiyue pretended to be tough and said in a cold voice: "So what? Do you think I am afraid of your sect?"

"Let alone your sect elders, even if all the people in your sect came to avenge you, they wouldn't be able to make a single splash in front of our Mingling clan."

Zheng Yi smiled faintly: "Of course, I know how powerful the Mingling clan is."

"It's just that for some things, less trouble is always better than more trouble, isn't it?"

"If my guess is correct, the Ghostly Tribe should have a big plan, right?"

After Demon Lord Huiyue became tough, Zheng Yi's attitude seemed to soften a lot.

Having said that, we can no longer provoke Demon Lord Huiyue, otherwise we will really enrage him completely and make him lose his mind, and then all the efforts we have made before will be wasted.

The more thoughtful a person is, the more he should not provoke the other person.

After all, people can make the most favorable judgments for themselves only when they are calm.

Especially for someone with a personality like Huiyue Demon Lord, once he is really enraged, he might do anything he wants.

If you wag your tail and beg for mercy, Demon Lord Huiyue will look down upon you completely.

Being too tough may irritate the other party.

The delicate balance involved could probably only be grasped by Zheng Yi, who had been the emperor for so many years.

It was necessary to prevent Demon Lord Huiyue from thinking calmly, and to make sure that his opponent was on the verge of exploding but always just a breath away.

At least for the current Demon Lord Huiyue, he feels so uncomfortable that he wants to vomit blood.

"Who are you? Why do you know about our Nether Spirit Clan's plan?"

The Jindan cultivator is certainly not a particularly powerful cultivator among the entire Mingling clan.

But the Demon Lord Huiyue has a good family background.

He knew very well many things that ordinary monks did not know.

The more this happened, the more vigilant he became.

The little guy in front of him was only in the early stage of crystallization, and was obviously not from the Canglan Realm. How did he know about the plan of their Mingling Clan?
"I just said something to fool you and you actually believed it." Zheng Yi laughed secretly in his heart.

After all, the Mingling Clan sent so many people, and even had a Jindan master in charge, just to deal with juniors like Lin Feng and Su Yao.

Zheng Yi was the first one who didn't believe that there was no problem. He originally just wanted to test the other party's attitude and see if their purpose was really just Lin Feng and others, or if they wanted to use this as a guide to pave the way for their subsequent big plan.

But looking at the other party's current performance, it is clear that the ambition of the Nether Spirit Clan is definitely not small.

Zheng Yi smiled faintly and looked back at the direction where Lin Feng and Su Yao were: "Senior Demon Lord, this kind of thing is not difficult to guess, right?"

"An expert like you would be sent to deal with a few young humans. Anyone who is not blind can probably see that there is something wrong here, right?"

At this moment, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on Zheng Yi's face, but he quickly suppressed it.

I've been talking nonsense with Demon Lord Huiyue for such a long time.

Of course it’s not because Zheng Yi likes to do this.

He was buying time so that he could find out the reason for his abnormal condition.

Zheng Yi carefully examined his body dozens of times before he finally figured out some clues.

The reason why his current strength is steadily improving.

All this was because of the thunder that struck him.

Thunder tribulation is a hurdle set by heaven for cultivators. Those who cannot survive it will die, and there is nothing much to say.

Once you can get through it, there will be some benefits.

The body of a cultivator, after being tempered by these innate thunders, will become stronger and able to withstand more power.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, that would be all.

But Zheng Yi was different from ordinary cultivators. When he faced the thunder tribulation, Demon Lord Huiyue suddenly attacked, causing his original body to die.

The current Immaculate Human Emperor Body was exchanged through the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

The upper limit of this body's ability to accommodate various forces is so high that even Zheng Yi finds it outrageous.

All the power of thunder and lightning that widened his meridians was accumulated in his meridians, and he didn't know how much there was.

However, these are the power of thunder after all. Even if they are now in Zheng Yi's body, what Zheng Yi can use is just a drop in the bucket and can only refine them bit by bit.

Zheng Yi seemed to have discovered a small hill made of gold coins.

But now, he can only use the cup in his hand to carry these gold coins home, little by little like an ant moving house.

But this is gold after all. No matter how little you take, the value is still there.

When Zheng Yi thought about how he had just used such a powerful force as the innate calamity thunder and used it as ordinary power, he really felt like he was wasting a gift from heaven.

Now that he knew why he had become stronger, his next plan became quite clear. It was nothing more than continuing to delay time.

The longer he can delay, the more innate thunder power he can refine, and the better he can fight against Demon Lord Huiyue.

"Senior Demon Lord." Zheng Yi said sincerely, "My sect and I have no intention of confronting you, the Nether Spirit Clan."

"After all, you know that I am not from this world, and I don't want to get involved in your war."

The word "war" has directly pointed out the purpose of the Dark Spirit Clan.

Even though they knew that the boy in front of them had guessed their purpose.

But when Zheng Yi told the truth, Demon Lord Huiyue was still shocked.

Even he only knew about the Hades Emperor's plan from his family elders, and the human in front of him...

Zheng Yi didn’t know what Demon Lord Huiyue was thinking exactly, but from his expression he knew that the effect he needed should have been achieved.

I am not afraid that Demon Lord Huiyue will have wild thoughts, I am just afraid that he will have no thoughts at all.

"Your Excellency Demon Lord, this is all just a misunderstanding. My disciple..." He pointed at the seriously injured Bai Zhirui and said, "He just came to Canglan Realm to gain some experience. He happened to see the battle, so he was kind enough to save people. This led to the misunderstanding later."

"I originally thought that this was just an ordinary fight between monks, so I didn't stop my disciples from taking action."

"If I had known that this matter involved a war between two races, we would never have intervened forcefully."

Demon Lord Huiyue couldn't help but sneered and said sarcastically: "With your level, are you qualified to teach disciples?"

Zheng Yi blushed and explained with a wry smile: "Excuse me, Senior Demon Lord. I am a mediocre disciple. My only advantage is my strong sense of justice..."

He racked his brains and even made up an extremely tragic life story for Bai Zhirui, which took him half a cup of tea.

Demon Lord Huiyue was so confused after hearing this: "That's enough! I am not interested in your disciple's past."

Zheng Yi quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Demon Lord, I accidentally got too involved in what I said."

"In short, this is all a misunderstanding. Now that it's been explained, why don't we make peace?"

Demon Lord Huiyue looked at Zheng Yi teasingly, as if he saw through his poor performance.

Zheng Yi was embarrassed. "Your Excellency the Demon Lord is indeed very discerning. I will speak frankly. The conditions are the same as before. As long as you can swear to Lord Canglan to let us go, I will naturally hand over all the treasures to you in good condition."

As he said this, he even raised his hand and swore: "Zheng Yi, I swear to the Lord of the Underworld that if you dare to break this oath, I will make my soul-gathering bead shatter on the spot, and your soul will be scattered and you will never be reborn!"

Demon Lord Huiyue suddenly sneered: "Despicable human, I almost got fooled by you."

"You said you were lucky enough to meet such a person? If that's the case, why did you save yourself and your disciple, but why did you also release me and the other two people?"

Thinking he had found a loophole in Zheng Yi's words, Demon Lord Huiyue raised his head arrogantly.

Apparently, even he didn't realize it.

As a powerful Jindan cultivator, he actually spoke like this to a cultivator in the early stage of crystallization. This was basically a disguised admission that Zheng Yi already had the status to talk to him on an equal footing.

Zheng Yi smiled bitterly ashamedly: "If I don't intervene, the lives of these two people will have nothing to do with me. But I have already saved them. I have to be a good person to the end. I can't just watch them die like this."

"They are just two young monks in the foundation-building stage. For the war between the two races, they are just two grains of sand in the ocean. Whether they live or die is not that important, right?"

These words touched Demon Lord Huiyue. Just two cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage could be exchanged for the magical treasure on the person in front of him. No matter how you looked at it, it was a very profitable deal.

Demon Lord Huiyue thought for a long time, but greed finally prevailed.

"Okay, I agree to your deal."

Zheng Yi heaved a sigh of relief and clasped his fists: "I will never forget the favor of the Demon Lord for sparing my life."

……

After waiting for a while, seeing that Demon Lord Huiyue did not respond, Zheng Yi asked cautiously: "Your Excellency Demon Lord, have you forgotten something?" (End of this chapter)
