I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

Chao, this guy's psychological manipulation skills are better than his.

Wang An actually knew that Xiao Zhao would most likely not let him go; he was just making an attempt.

While he was trying, he was also making other preparations.

When King Liang appeared, he had already placed one of Wang Liang's hands behind his back, and Wang Liang's wrist was cut open by him.

The blood sacrifice will be slightly slower, but it can still be performed.

As long as the Water Moon Cave opens, he can escape into the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, which is better than being in this space where there is nowhere to hide or run.

Moreover, not far in front of him, he had already secretly set up a defensive array of runes. This array was just a safe one for him, but now it has become his last hope for survival.

He needs a little more time.

The talisman array couldn't hold off King Liang for long, but Xiao Zhao, perhaps confident of victory, was still putting on airs.

Wang An then complied with the other party's request, feigning surprise and anger before quickly regaining his composure and pleading, saying, "Your Highness, why go to such lengths? I certainly dare not harbor any resentment over what happened today. All Your Highness needs is the Demon King and his offspring. Consider these my offerings to Your Highness, how about it?"

Although bowing down and admitting fault was shameful, Wang An was willing to risk everything to save his life.

Given these conditions and this compromise, Xiao Zhao had no reason to insist on killing him.

Logically speaking, that is indeed the case, but this time the situation is clearly different.

Xiao Zhao looked at Wang An with a regretful expression.

"If we were in each other's shoes, with your talent, I would certainly feel great pity for you. However... this is the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm. It's not that I want to kill you, but when you are sacrificed to the Demon King, you will have no way to survive."

"??!"

Was his intelligence wrong from this point onward?

Wang An was immediately shocked. He then realized that Xiao Zhao and his three subordinates had never approached him from the beginning; they had simply pushed him away in a line, putting a lot of pressure on him.

Wang An hadn't thought much about it before, after all, Xiao Zhao was putting a lot of pressure on him.

Only now did he realize that something was wrong.

"Have you ever thought about this? If it's the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, why would it require both the Demon Emperor's trusted subordinates as human sacrifices and the Demon Emperor's offspring as blood sacrifices?"

Wang An had certainly thought about this issue. He felt that there was indeed something unreasonable about it, but upon closer examination, it was not necessarily unreasonable.

Because the blood sacrifice to the demon offspring only uses the blood of the demon offspring to complete the sacrifice, the demon offspring may not necessarily die.

Only by doing so can we ensure that only our own bloodline can open the secret realm, and that the secret realm will not be taken by outsiders.

The fact that a demon king needs to be sacrificed, a very difficult task, makes this claim seem more plausible.

After all, what's the point of making a lie that's too frightening?

From the perspective of considering the Demon Emperor's offspring, the Demon Emperor indeed had no need to set such a trap for them. But perhaps the Demon Emperor just wanted to test his children and subordinates?

No rainbow appears without rain.

This approach is not unusual. Although Wang An considered this issue, he did not deny the overall authenticity of the story.

After all, it was information obtained through soul-searching techniques from a loyal confidant of the Demon Emperor.

Now that this question has come from Xiao Zhao's mouth, Wang An's composure has crumbled.

He had just pinned his last hope on opening the entrance to the secret realm, only to learn that the information had been flawed from the start. How could he not be shocked?

Wang An could no longer maintain his composure; his voice trembled as he said, "What do you mean...?"

"It doesn't mean anything. I just want you to die knowing the truth, considering how much you've done for me."

Xiao Zhao looked at Wang An with pity. What a pity. If he had followed him from the beginning, with Wang An's abilities, he would have been his number one strategist.

Furthermore, the Wang family's power was considerable, which would be perfect for helping him rule the world.

Unfortunately, Wang An had already gone this far, and there was no turning back once the arrow was released.

"Actually, this Demon Emperor's Secret Realm only requires the blood of a demon offspring to open, and the amount needed is not much; one jar is enough."

As he spoke, Xiao Zhao took out a bamboo tube that emitted a chilling aura. When he opened the lid, he could smell a faint stench of blood.

"Mr. Wang, the human sacrifice you performed was not opening the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, but breaking the seal. This seal was set up by the former head of the Jingye Division, Si Nan, using the Jingye Division's sacred artifact, the Demon-Suppressing Cauldron. In order to prevent anyone from breaking the seal, in addition to the difficult conditions for breaking the seal, there was also the backlash after the seal was broken."

Those who break the formation will surely perish, their souls annihilated; there is no chance of escape.

Upon hearing this, Wang An looked at the bright red blood on the altar again. After staring at it for a while, it seemed as if a ferocious beast had opened its huge mouth to swallow him whole.

"No, you're lying to me. You've been lying to me from beginning to end!"

He finally couldn't hold back any longer and stopped hiding. He could tell that Xiao Zhao and his men had no intention of rushing up to deal with him, as if what Xiao Zhao said was true.

Wang An is like a gambler who has lost everything and now only has a few cards left. He has no choice but to go all in in hopes of having a chance to turn things around.

He slapped Wang Liang on the back with one hand and then slashed Wang Liang's neck with the other, causing his bleeding to surge instantly. The entire altar was covered with Wang Liang's blood, and slowly, red liquid began to spread towards the characters "Shuiyue Dongtian" (Water Moon Cave Heaven).

The speed was fast, but every stroke still made Wang An anxious.

"Hurry, hurry, open it quickly!"

He was already hysterical, but what terrified him even more was that Xiao Zhao remained unmoved despite the changes in the formation.

"What are you all still standing there for? Why don't you come and kill me?!"

As Wang An watched the four characters "Shuiyue Dongtian" turn red, he felt increasingly that he had been tricked.

Xiao Zhao sighed softly, "You are very good at scheming against others, but why don't you think about the fact that while you are scheming against others, others are also scheming against you? People can't just focus on their own chessboard, because you yourself may just be someone else's pawn."

Wang An: "..."

Isn't that what I say to my son?

Hearing Xiao Zhao reprimand him with almost the same words now made him feel as if he had been slapped hard across the face.

Wang An could no longer argue with Xiao Zhao. He ran towards the stone gate of Shuiyue Cave. The words on the top were all filled in, so the gate should be open soon!

However, the door did not open, and a viscous red liquid slowly flowed out from the four characters "Shuiyue Dongtian". It looked slow, but before anyone knew it, a lot had flowed out and flowed down the wall.

Wang An dared not let the blood touch him, so he had to back away. But at this moment, the blood on the altar was also flowing down, and when it reached the ground, it spontaneously flowed towards Wang An.

He was surrounded by this blood.

"I forgot to tell you, Wang Liang is not actually the son of the Demon Emperor. He is just an unlucky guy who was injected with the blood of the Demon King. The real condition for breaking the seal is to sacrifice a Demon King alive and another Demon King with blood. Congratulations, you have done both."

Surrounded by blood, Wang An fled in panic, but his living space became increasingly narrow. Upon hearing Xiao Zhao's words, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"To kill someone, you must also destroy their spirit—how terrifying!"

Ok?

Who spoke my true feelings?

Chapter 235 Broken wrist

Lin Yi was the one who came down from the passageway. There were eight of them in total, and they were almost too many to stand in a row.

When Xiao Zhao saw Lin Yi, Guishan Daoren, Bai Lianxian, and Qianhuan Guiji, who had humiliated him the night before, he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.

This moment is just like that moment back then.

Xiao Zhao was also a little scared. There is a saying that a son of a thousand pieces of gold should not sit under a dangerous roof. Even if he is destined for greatness, these cultivators would not dare to harm him, but what if he encounters a reckless fool who doesn't care about his life?

For a moment, he was stunned and at a loss for what to do.

Anyway, his subordinates are no longer of any use.

Normally, with their configuration, they could handle most first-rank soldiers. If all else fails, they have a thousand soldiers outside, and even first-rank soldiers would have to give way.

But what's the situation on the other side?

She can hold her own small position in the face of overwhelming military might, and is invincible in a small space. If she really pushes the opponent to the limit, she might just perform a feat of taking the enemy general's head from among a million soldiers.

He is a Taoist priest who has returned to the mountains. We haven't seen him make a move yet, but he combines the strengths of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, and his methods are quite remarkable.

Let's not talk about Bai Lianxian. After Lin Yi and his men ran away yesterday, she also managed to escape unscathed. I couldn't tell the other party's strength, but he was definitely not weak.

Add to that Lin Yi, a fierce warrior who could withstand attacks from the enemy ranks, and who almost killed him; this hothead is the most dangerous.

Xiao Zhao couldn't understand how Lin Yi could do something so outrageous, and he wondered if he could kill Lin Yi next time he led 100,000 troops.

Now that Lin Yi and his men are following them, Xiao Zhao is only worried that Lin Yi will ruin the plan that he has been preparing for many years.

He didn't react to Lin Yi's sarcastic remarks.

As soon as Wang Jinxuan came down, she saw Wang An surrounded by blood and immediately exclaimed, "Father!"

Wang Jinxuan was extremely anxious. Seeing Wang An in danger, her first thought was to save him. However, she had no ability to save him. The blood on the ground looked so terrifying. She didn't know what would happen if she got involved.

But she didn't ask Lin Yi to save the person. Lin Yi had already done enough for her, how could she let him risk his life for her again?

She could only watch helplessly as Wang An was forced to succumb to the blood.

"Jinxuan, save me!"

Wang An didn't care that he had schemed against Wang Jinxuan before, and that Wang Jinxuan's presence here was most likely because he had seen through his plot. He only knew that Wang Jinxuan was now his last chance for survival.

Wang Jinxuan clenched his fist, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He took out some clothes from his bag and threw them in the direction Wang An was.

The clothes were slowly soaked with blood as soon as they hit the ground, but this still gave Wang An an idea.

He immediately took off his coat and threw it in front of him. Before the clothes were completely soaked with blood, he jumped onto them and then jumped again. Wang Jinxuan hurriedly took out his clothes and threw them in front of Wang An to pave the way for him.

Judging from this trend, Wang Anzhen might just be able to make a comeback.

Lin Yi saw this and began to think more highly of Wang Jinxuan.

This little guy is quite quick-witted.

Lin Yi had no intention of helping Wang An. From the beginning, he had never trusted Wang An, but he was indeed moved by Wang An.

Now that things have developed to this point, there's no need for further analysis. Wang An's current predicament is entirely his own fault.

Even if Wang Jinxuan begged her, he wouldn't help her; instead, he would teach her a lesson. Wang Jinxuan understood this, so instead of begging him or taking the risk himself, he chose the smartest way.

It's like a non-swimmer seeing someone drowning; the right thing to do is throw a lifebuoy into the water, not jump in to save the person or ask someone else to do it.

Seeing that Wang An seemed to be about to break through the encirclement and return to a safe area, Lin Yi had no intention of kicking him while he was down.

In his mind, Wang An was already a dead man; his rush over would only prolong his life.

To his surprise, Xiao Zhao did not stop Wang An; instead, he gave a cold laugh.
