I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Faced with Wang An's questioning, Wang Liang quickly explained, "I was just worried about Jin Xuan. So much time has passed, and I don't know how Jin Xuan is doing now."

Although Lin Yi is quite capable, the opponents he faces are also formidable. I'm really worried that Jin Xuan will fall into the hands of bad people, and I wonder what kind of treatment she will suffer.

She's just a girl, after all!

Wang Liang's move was intended to win people's hearts.

Even though he knew the man in front of him was heartless, Wang An would still feel somewhat uncomfortable if he deliberately mentioned Wang Jinxuan.

"This is all Jinxuan's fate. All we can do is try our best to help her overcome this calamity. You don't need to worry too much. Jinxuan will definitely live a good life."

Wang An put on a worried expression, a hypocritical look that made Wang Liang feel nauseous.

Although he kept pretending, he was only doing it to survive.

"I hope so."

As Wang Liang spoke, he feigned filial piety and said, "Father, it's windy outside, let's go inside."

"it is good."

The two went into the cabin together and had a meal together. As time passed and night fell, Wang Qian finally woke up, ate something, and then had to continue his night watch.

Wang An said, "You've all been sailing for several days and must be tired. Let's rest for the night and set off again early tomorrow morning. I've already told the boatman to drop anchor, and we can set up camp on the shore later. Qian'er, take some guards and go chop some firewood."

"The fire must not go out tonight on land."

"Okay, Dad."

Wang Qian received Wang An's order and led his men ashore to gather firewood.

Wang Liang quickly replied, "I'll go too."

"No need, Liang'er. There's enough room for just the two of us on this ship today."

"Didn't Father say we were going to set up camp on the shore?"

Warning bells rang in Wang Liang's mind; he knew Wang An was about to make trouble.

However, he was prepared for everything.

The decisive moment has finally arrived!

Chapter 231 The only chance is to lie flat.

On the ship, all irrelevant people had been ordered off the ship by Wang An under various pretexts. Only Wang An and Wang Liang remained on the huge ship.

Compared to Wang An's composure, Wang Liang was somewhat nervous.

After all, in his world, Wang An was the biggest boss. Ever since he learned about his background, Wang Liang had been preparing to defeat Wang An.

Now, the exciting moment has finally arrived, and he is both nervous and excited.

Once Wang An is defeated and the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm is successfully obtained, one can roam freely like a bird in the sky and a fish in the sea, without needing to scheme or worry about anything, and without needing to deliberately smear oneself. Of course, this is not important—

At first, he didn't like flirting with other men's wives, but after doing it many times, he found it quite exciting.

The happiness of a mature woman can only be understood by those who understand it.

"They're the ones setting up camp; we have other things to do."

"What is it?"

Wang Liang looked completely ignorant.

Wang An couldn't help but laugh and said, "Now that we've come this far, there's no need for any more pretense between us. If you like, you can call me father again; I don't mind."

Wang Liang's face darkened; the situation was slightly different from what he had imagined.

He thought Wang An would continue to deceive him, and he could take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, suddenly reveal his strength, and defeat Wang An in shock.

What a sense of accomplishment that is!

However, if Wang An were to confront him now, wouldn't that mean that Wang An might have known all along that he already knew about his background?

If that's the case, the situation will be very bad for him.

Wang Liang's face darkened. He said, "You knew everything?"

"What are you referring to? Is it the lingering soul of Wu Mo in the well, or the hellish world depicted in the water, or your secret contact with Mr. Liu, the local tyrant of Xingsha County, under the identity of Wu De, or are you saying that you have already cultivated for a thousand years?"

With each word Wang An spoke, Wang Liang's face grew paler, and by the end, cold sweat was pouring down Wang Liang's face.

Wang An revealed all of his secrets; he knew everything Wang An did.

But he was so careful and cautious, how could Wang An have known?

"Your mind is in turmoil. Planning is like playing chess. You can't just think about your own pieces; you also have to think about the pieces of others. If you only focus on placing your own pieces, you will only lose the whole game."

Wang An spoke calmly, with a hint of lecturing his son.

Wang Liang secretly looked around, searching for an opportunity to escape.

It seems unlikely that we can confront Wang An head-on today; we can only flee to survive and seek another chance at life in the future.

To conceal his intentions, Wang Liang feigned excitement and said, "How did you know? I was very discreet!"

Upon hearing this, Wang An smiled.

"You might as well think about it. How could a ghost who knows my secret remain in my house? And in Xingsha County, how can Mr. Liu sit firmly in the top position in the underworld? Why did the yamen not notice when you killed so many people and set up the hellish world?"

Wang Liang: "..."

Seeing Wang An say these words with a smile, Wang Liang felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.

He thought he was being discreet, but in reality, Wang An had outmaneuvered him at every step.

I was doing things right under his nose.

He knew that Wang An had a deep understanding of Xingsha City, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent.

"Since you know everything, why are you still condoning me? Wouldn't it be better to let me be killed by you without me even realizing it? Why go through all this trouble? Besides, a mere mortal with no strength is easier to deal with than someone with power! Are you toying with me?"

"You're wrong. In my eyes, someone with your level of skill is just as easy to deal with as a weak mortal. Besides, I certainly wouldn't go to the trouble of doing something meaningless."

Wang An's words were spoken with confidence and composure, which immediately made Wang Liang lose all will to resist.

He was thinking about how to escape and survive, while Wang An continued to explain why he allowed Wang Liang to do those things.

"Tonight, the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm will open. Right here under the moonlight, between the water and the moon, when the moon is full, the secret realm will emerge from the water."

Once the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm is found, entry is possible. However, to obtain the secret treasures, a blood sacrifice must be performed on a demon offspring. This offspring must possess a thousand years of cultivation or a third-rank cultivation level.

Upon hearing this, Wang Liang's hands and feet turned ice cold.

It turns out that Wang An had been raising him like a pig all along. Originally, as long as he did nothing, Wang An had no way to use him to open the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm. However, under Wang An's scheme, he worked hard to improve himself to the point where he could open the secret realm.

He didn't hesitate to kill so many people for this, but in the end, it all benefited others.

"So, you've been plotting against Wu Mo all along? Or did she already side with you from the beginning?"

Wang Liang's voice trembled as he spoke. Hearing Wang An's words, he felt like a puppet on a string, manipulated by Wang An from the very beginning, with everything about him being within Wang An's calculations.

Seeing Wang Liang's state, Wang An knew that he was completely defeated, so he decided not to hide it from him anymore.

“Wu Mo was indeed a confidante of the Demon Emperor. When she fell into my hands, I used all sorts of torture on her, but she couldn’t do anything. In the end, I had to find a demon to help me and forcefully search her soul to get the answer.”

"So at that time, you planned to leave Wu Mo's soul behind and let her become a ghost to wait for me there. But since Wu Mo also knew that if I had a thousand years of cultivation, I could help you open the secret realm, why did you still want me to become stronger?"

"Because she's a ghost. How can you believe a ghost? She only has hatred in her heart, how could she care about your life or death? Even if she can retain some rationality and prevent you from cultivating, once you know the secret of your origins, can you resist the urge to become stronger?"

Wang Liang let his hand fall limply.

It's like the two of them have finished a game of chess, and Wang An is reviewing the game to explain why he lost.

What frustrated him was that, despite years of preparation, he had never actually made a move.

He had completely lost his fighting spirit and could only force himself to pull himself together. Looking at Wang An, he said, "In terms of ruthlessness, I am no match for you; in terms of wisdom, I am no match for you either. But I wonder, what good is it that you obtained the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm? Do you want to become the number one in the world? Even if the Demon Emperor becomes the number one in the world, she will die. What good is it that you only obtained her Secret Realm? Is it worth killing your wife and children and giving away your daughter?"

Wang Liang intended to win Wang An's heart, and his words indeed struck a chord with Wang An.

After all, they are human beings. Unless they are completely inhuman and kill their wives and children, they will always feel pain in their hearts.

Seeing the pain on Wang An's face, Wang Liang made a move.

He had been waiting for this opportunity, and taking advantage of Wang An's distraction, he went straight to the window.

After listening to so much from Wang An, Wang Liang had no desire to fight back anymore; he only wanted to escape, hoping there might still be a glimmer of hope.

But just as he touched the edge of the window, he bumped into a runic chain, which activated and quickly wrapped around him.

Wang An opened his eyes, looked at Wang Liang who had walked right into the trap, and slowly shook his head, saying, "Have I ever told you that when you do something, you should think about what others might do? This ship has one exit, but it's your dead end."

Since this demon-suppressing array is an array, it cannot be moved, unlike talismans which can be activated or deactivated at will.

What cannot be obtained by moving is an effect far exceeding that of the same level.

"Actually, my strength is not much stronger than yours. I am only good at rune arrays, but I have never lost."

Upon hearing this, Wang Liang was so enraged he nearly died on the spot. Being schemed against was bad enough, but to be mercilessly mocked was even worse.

Unfortunately, he was already bound by the rune chains and could not move an inch. He could only let Wang An stick a talisman on his forehead and carry him to the bottom of the cabin. He couldn't even speak.

Under the boat, there was a cage containing a beautiful woman.

The woman, like him, was covered in runes, with a yellow talisman on her forehead and the cage also covered in runes.

Clearly, this woman was more powerful than him. After all, Wang An had simply put him aside after taking him off the ship, but this woman was covered in runes from head to toe, and even the cage was covered in runes.

This was none other than the long-lost Poison Lady.

Wang An looked at the rune and smiled, "You can go to the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm that you want to visit tonight. However, you may not know that in order to open the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, in addition to knowing the time and place, you also need a blood sacrifice of a demon offspring and a live sacrifice of a demon king."

"Thanks to you for coming to me, otherwise I wouldn't have had the ability to capture a demon king for a live sacrifice."

The Poison Lady couldn't speak, but judging from the way her pupils contracted, she clearly still retained her consciousness.

Conscious but powerless to resist, she never imagined that she, as a demon king, would have such a frustrating moment.

However, the power of Guishan Daoren was still raging within her body, preventing her from diverting her strength to fight against Wang An's talisman, leaving her in a stalemate.

Lady Poison also saw Wang Liang, who was bound up like this by Wang An. Wang An even mentioned the blood sacrifice of the demon offspring and the live sacrifice of the demon king. How could she not understand that the son of the demon emperor was actually Wang Liang!

If she had known, she would have had Zhu Sisi kidnap Wang Liang directly, and there wouldn't be this mess today.

Previously, she had always believed that the Demon Emperor's son was Wang Jinxuan. The timing matched up, and all the clues pointed to Wang Jinxuan. In addition, Wang Jinxuan ran away, which made her even more convinced.
