Chapter 1259: Deal

On a stone seat.

A figure was gradually taking shape. Unlike an immortal descending to earth, it wasn't formed from nothing into something, but rather, energy gathered from all directions and ultimately coalesced into a person.

Her attire was a stark contrast to the throng of demons within. She wore a multi-colored long dress and a face-covering veil, sitting on a stone with one foot nonchalantly propped up. Her posture was relaxed yet arrogant.

The features were unclear, very illusory, but the age didn't seem to be too old. At first glance, she looked like a girl next door.

"Danger!"

Ye Fusheng had become more cautious. Whether it was the pressure she brought or how these demons addressed her, it all hinted that she was more dangerous than she appeared.

Ye Fusheng did not act rashly, staring intently.

"Ye Fusheng!"

The Demon Lord didn't mince words, stating her name directly. Then, with a smile that wasn't quite a smile, she said: "I thought you had completely vanished into nothingness. I never expected you to be alive, let alone appear before me. If my guess is correct, it was that old Emperor who saved you"

Suddenly!

Ye Fu Sheng's whole body suddenly tensed, his heart even more uneasy.

The reason they came here with these two demonic figures, one black and one red, was because they posed absolutely no threat to them. Or rather, in the entirety of the Underworld, besides a few Ghost Emperors, no one could threaten them.

I never expected there would be such a place within this Ghost City.

I never expected my identity to be recognized!

If he reported to the heavens that he was alive, he himself couldn't survive, and even the Emperor of the Underworld would be hard-pressed to escape blame.

Hoarding strength, ready to strike at any moment.

"Do you know me"

"Nonsense."

The Demon Lord sneered, "I can say your name, so naturally I know you. And don't try to secretly gather strength to fight back. If your body were still intact, perhaps you could pose a slight threat to me, but now that you're just a soul, you can only exert 70% of your power at most. I only need three moves to scatter your soul and spirit. Do you believe me"

As if fearing Ye Fusheng wouldn't believe him, he spoke and with a light wave of his hand, black and red energy surged forward.

Ye Fu Sheng saw this, his breath escaping in an instant, and flowing light appeared around him once again.

Boom!

Black and red aura clashed with the flowing light, instantly turning to ash.

Even the shimmering light surrounding Ye Fusheng had dimmed.

A master can be recognized at a glance.

This woman's cultivation level is absolutely no less than that of an Immortal Emperor!

But... why have I never heard of her Neither from learning arts with my master on the mountain, nor through any other channels, is there any mention of her.

Ye Fusheng steadied his mind. Since he couldn't win, there was no need to hold on so tightly.

"With a smile, he said: 'If I'm not mistaken, you didn't appear to send me into shock and awe. You have a purpose. Just state it directly and don't waste everyone's time.'"

"Huh"

The Demon Lord seemed surprised that Ye Fusheng was so calm, a hint of surprise in his eyes. But he soon laughed heartily, the sound echoing endlessly within the cave.

After ten or so seconds, she abruptly stopped laughing.

"As expected of someone who has reached the half-step Human Emperor realm after thousands of years, your state of mind is truly extraordinary."

Since you're so straightforward, this demon lord will be blunt. I need you to do me a favor. As long as it's done, I'll personally condense a physical body for you and send you back to the mortal realm.

Ye Fu Sheng asked in return, “What business”

"Destroy… the Lord of Mount Fengdu!"

The Demon Lord's voice fluctuated, tinged with a hint of resentment: "This wretch has held dominion over the Underworld for too long. The Underworld should have a new master, and all you need to do is help me eliminate him, and I will send you back home. How does that sound"

Mad...surely they are all madmen!

The Lord of Fèngdū is the supreme ruler of all yin forces in the world. He was a key figure in the decisive battle between the Three Realms, and his power surpasses that of the Immortal Emperor, rivaling even the Heavenly Emperor.

Kill him

How is that possible

Ye Fusheng wryly smiled and said, “Do you think that's possible Even at my peak, I wasn't a match for the Lord of Fengdu. Let alone now, I'm afraid as soon as I make a move, he'll erase me.”

"How do you know unless you try"

The demon master replied with a playful tone. As he spoke, he flicked his hand, and a pitch-black short sword, shrouded in black mist, appeared before Ye Fusheng.

“You have unique advantages. You just need to tell that old man you want to meet him, and he will definitely see you alone. All you need is to find an opportunity to stab him with this sword. Just one strike, and we can change the dynasty of the Underworld, and you can return to the mortal realm.”

Ye Fusheng looked at the short sword before him. It wasn't forged from material, but constructed from demonic energy. Even from this distance, the demonic energy it emitted could influence thoughts, making one irritable and angry.

He took a deep breath, looked forward again, and said in a resounding voice: “You are not the Demon Lord, let the real Demon Lord come out.”

The "Demon Lord" before him was taken aback.

"Hahaha…"

burst into laughter again.

As she laughed, her clothes changed color rapidly, no longer a rainbow of hues but a deep black, like an abyss. Her hair turned blood red, cascading down like a bloody waterfall.

Most importantly, her features began to sharpen.

His face appeared, devoid of any blood color, a stark white.

A pair of eyes were jet black, without a hint of whites, and lips as crimson red as long hair.

She was defined by only three colors: black, white, and red!

She smiled and looked at Ye Fusheng: "This Demon Lord thinks I've hidden well. How did you see through me Hmm"

Ye Fu Sheng watched in stunned disbelief. He prided himself on having seen most things in the world, but he was still shocked by what lay before him. He had originally thought that the previous person was a stand-in, but... she... was clearly the same person as before.

Even though the voice became sharper, it's still the same person!

One person, two states

This is magic

But it has to be admitted, her appearance at this moment was more oppressive.

"It's simple, the previous person lacked the aura of someone in a position of power. Their demeanor was too frivolous, their words and actions lacking in domineering presence."

The Demon Lord paused, looking at the crowd of demons and saying, "Is he right"

All the demons shouted in unison, “The Demon Lord dominates the Three Realms and shakes the Nine Heavens! It's he who is blind and ignorant!”

The Demon Lord didn't dwell on the matter any further.

"Let me look at Ye Fusheng again: "What she just said to you was all in jest. Now, this Demon Lord is serious with you. You assassinate Fengdu Laoren for me, and I will help you shape a physical body and send you back to the mortal realm. What do you say"

Still the same

Ye Fu Sheng shook his head again: “I already explained, with my abilities, I can't...”

Before he could finish speaking.

The Demon Lord coldly interrupted, "If you disagree, I will tell the upper realms about what you did in Fengdu. Then it won't just be you who vanishes into nothingness. This is your last chance, kill or not"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The atmosphere inside the cave instantly dropped to freezing.

All the demons simultaneously raised their heads to look at Ye Fusheng, as if seeing an irreconcilable enemy.

Ye Fusheng pondered for a moment, seeming to have no other choice.

Reaches out and grabs the short sword in front of him: “Kill!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

The short sword suddenly vanished, and black/ demonic energy entered his body.

The Demon Lord sneered coldly, “This short sword wasn’t made to kill the old man of Fengdu, but to kill you. In three days, if you haven’t succeeded, this demonic energy will consume you and send you into nothingness, heh heh.”

Ye Fusheng: "..."Of course, the most crucial question is why Yang Dingtian would do this He said he wanted to help me sincerely, I believe him, but he's still the ruler of Daxia. According to what's been said all alon...
