Chapter 1259: Transaction

Upon a stone seat.

A figure was slowly taking shape. Unlike a fairy descending to earth, it wasn't formed from nothingness into reality, but rather an aura gathered from all directions, eventually coalescing into one person.

Her attire was worlds apart from the throng of demons within. She wore a colorful long dress, a veil covering her face, and sat with one foot on a stone pedestal, her posture relaxed yet arrogant.

The facial features were blurry and unreal, but the age seemed to be quite young. At first glance, she looked like a girl next door.

"Danger!"

Ye Fusheng had become more cautious, judging from the pressure she exuded and the way these demons addressed her, it signaled that she was more dangerous than she appeared.

Ye Fusheng did not act rashly, staring intently.

"Ye Fusheng!"

The Lord of Demons made no attempt to conceal his 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 didn't expect you to still be alive, let alone appear before me. If I'm not mistaken, it was that old Emperor who saved you"

Whoosh!

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

The reason they came here with these two demons, one black and one red, was because they posed no threat to themselves. Or rather, in the entire underworld of Fengdu, besides a few Ghost Emperors, no one could threaten them.

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

I never expected my identity to be recognized!

If he reported to the Heavenly Realm that he was alive, he would not be able to live himself, and even the Emperor of the Underworld, Fengdu, would be hard pressed to escape blame.

Bide your time, preparing for action at any moment.

"Do you know me"

"Nonsense."

The Demon Lord sneered, "I can say your name, so I naturally know you. Besides, don't secretly accumulate strength trying to counterattack. If your body was still intact, you might 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 shatter your soul and disperse you. Do you believe it"

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 the situation and instantly lost his breath, a flow of light appearing around him once more.

Bang!

Black and red energy clashed with the flowing light, instantly turning to ashes.

Even the flowing light surrounding Ye Fusheng dimmed considerably.

A master's work is instantly recognizable.

This woman's cultivation level is definitely no lower than that of an Immortal Emperor!

But... why have I never heard of her In all the ways I learned from my master on the mountain, or through other channels, there is no mention of her.

Ye Fusheng calmed his mind. Since he couldn't win, there was no need to force it.

He chuckled, "If I'm not mistaken, your appearance isn't to send shivers down my spine, but for a purpose. Just get to the point, don't waste everyone's time."

"Um"

The Demon Lord seemed surprised that Ye Fusheng was so calm, a hint of astonishment in his eyes. However, he soon burst into laughter, the sound echoing repeatedly within the cave.

After a full ten seconds, she suddenly stopped laughing.

"As expected of someone who has been the only half-step human emperor for thousands of years, your state of mind is indeed extraordinary."

Since you're direct, this demon master will get straight to the point. I need you to do me a favor. As long as you can accomplish it, I'll personally help you condense your physical body and send you back to the mortal realm.

Ye Fusheng countered, "What's the matter"

"Annihilate… the Great Emperor of Mount Fengdu!"

The Demon Lord's voice shifted, laced with a hint of resentment: "This little man has held sway over the Underworld for too long. The Underworld should have a new master, that much is certain. Just help me eliminate him, and I'll send you back home. What do you say"

Damn… they're all crazy, aren't they!

The Emperor of Fengdu is the ruler of all Yin things in the world. He was a key figure in the Three Realms War, whose power surpassed that of the Immortal Emperor and was comparable to that of 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 the opponent of the King of Fengdu. Let alone now, I'm afraid that as soon as I make a move, I'll be wiped out by him."

"If you don't try, how will you know"

The Demon Lord responded with a playful smirk, his hand flicking as he did so. A short black sword, shrouded in black mist, materialized before Ye Fusheng's eyes.

"You have unique advantages. You just need to tell that old man you want to meet him, he will definitely meet 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 world. How about it"

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 one's thoughts, making them 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 true Demon Lord come out."

The “Demon Lord” before him was taken aback.

"Haha..."

started laughing again.

As she laughed, her clothes changed color rapidly, no longer a rainbow of hues, but now black as a bottomless abyss. Furthermore, her hair began to turn blood red, cascading down like a bloody waterfall.

Most importantly, her features began to sharpen.

The face appeared, devoid of any color, a stark white.

A pair of eyes, pitch black with no whites, and lips as crimson as long hair.

Her palette consisted of only three colors: black, white, and red!

She smiled and looked at Ye Fusheng: "This Demon Lord thinks she hid very well, how did you see through me Hmm"

Ye Fu Sheng looked on in astonishment, he prided himself on having seen most things in the world, yet he was still shocked by what he saw before him. He had originally thought that the person just now was a stand-in pulled out, but she... she was clearly the same person as the one before.

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

One person, two states

Is this magic

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

He replied, “It’s simple. The person just now lacked the aura of someone in a position of power. Their mannerisms were too frivolous and their eyes lacked domineering presence.”

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

All the demons chorused, "The Demon Lord reigns supreme over the Three Realms, his power shaking the Nine Heavens! To insult him is to be blind and short-sighted!"

The Demon Lord didn't dwell on the problem any longer.

“

I now look at Ye Fusheng again: “Everything she just said to you was a joke. This demon lord is now serious with you, I want you to assassinate Fengdu Lao’er, and I will help you create a physical body, sending you back to the mortal world. How about that”

Isn't it the same

Ye Fusheng shook his head again: "I've already explained, with my abilities, I can't..."

Before I could finish speaking.

The demonic lord coldly interrupted: "If you disagree, I will tell the upper realm about what happened to you in Fengdu. Then, not only you but also everyone who retreats into nothingness will be exposed. This is your last chance, kill or not kill"

As soon as these words were spoken.

The atmosphere in the cave instantly turned frigid.

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

Ye Fu Sheng pondered for a moment, as if he had no other choice.

With a sweep of his hand, he seized the short sword before him: “Kill!”

As soon as the words left his mouth.

The short sword suddenly vanished, black/magic energy entering his body.

The Demon Lord sneered, "This short sword isn't meant 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, hehe."
