"How can you prove it?"
The leader stared at Ling Xian. His normal calmness was nowhere to be seen and was replaced with shock.
This was far too shocking. Even with his mentality, a giant wave was crashing inside him.
"Very simple. The reason why I came to the House of Demon is because I know that the founder of the House of Demon is of the same kind as me. In other words, he is the so-called sky demon."
Ling Xian softly grinned and told a huge lie.
This was his only way. As the Supreme Headmaster of the House of Demon, the man must know about this secret. Based on the saintess' reaction, very few people know about this. At the very least, the saintess didn't know.
On the other hand, he knew that even though this couldn't prove that he was an Otherworldly Demon with 100% certainty, just this point alone made it somewhat believable.
"You know about this!"
The leader of the House of Demon exclaimed and subconsciously wanted to attack. But remembering that Ling Xian said he was an sky demon, he gave up on that thought.
There are many rules in the House of Demon. Among them, there is a secret rule that only the House Leaders know about. It is to treat the sky demon as their ancestor!
If he dared to make a move against a Heavenly Devil, then the curse branded in his blood would erupt, and he would instantly fall into the netherworld.
Therefore, even if he didn't believe it, he didn't dare to attack.
"I share the same roots as the founder of the House of Demon. How can I not know?"
Ling Xian smiled. He was at ease and at ease.
His calm demeanor made it impossible for anyone to guess that he was lying.
"I find it hard to believe you based on your words alone." The leader stared at Ling Xian, "Like I said, I don't want an explanation, I only want evidence."
"Then go ahead and kill me."
"Because of the restrictions of this world, my cultivation level is equivalent to the beginning stage of the seventh level in the Xuan Wu continent. I am no opponent of yours."
"So, you can make your move. I won't even be able to hurt you, let alone kill you."
Ling Xian shrugged and acted like he was ready to let the leader do whatever he wanted.
This was called retreating in order to advance. Even though he had no evidence, his attitude made the opponent's heart pound.
Reality proved that his plan was very effective.
Because of the rules, the leader of the House of Demon didn't dare to attack recklessly. He could only stare at Ling Xian in shock.
At once, the palace silenced.
Ling Xian was calm and collected. He stared at the leader of the demonic House without saying a word.
He didn't have much to say. He didn't have any evidence, so he could only bet that the Demon Sect Master wouldn't dare to act rashly.
"Is it true?"
The master of the Demon Sect was shocked and bewildered, and he was in a dilemma.
He didn't dare to make a move, and he couldn't trust them completely. This feeling of being stuck in the middle almost made him suffocate to death.
"If I were you, I would choose to believe him."
"Not everyone knows that the founder of the Demon Sect is an Other Realm Heavenly Demon. Even if I was lucky enough to learn of it, I would not pretend to be one."
"You and I know very well what an Extraterrestrial Demon means. If you publicize my identity, will I still be able to live?"
Ling Xian faintly grinned. To get rid of the danger before him, and to get the Grass of the Netherworld, he had to say this.
Even though it was extremely dangerous, the only way to increase the credibility of the plan was to hand it over to this person.
"What you said makes some sense."
The suspicion in the Demon Sect Master's eyes disappeared. The Extraterrestrial Demons were the sworn enemies of the Black Tortoise Continent, so who would impersonate them? How was that any different from courting death?
However, he was still a little doubtful.
If he believed Ling Xian so easily, then he would be far too stupid.
"Not just a little, but a lot of sense."
"I admit that I'm not the supreme elder. Such a clumsy lie can't stand up to investigation."
"I know this very well, but I am still risking my life and telling you my identity. Why?"
"Because I know you won't hurt me. We are allies, and we are on the same side."
Ling Xian slowly and patiently exposed the Elder's lie. At the same time, he told a giant lie.
Plus, his lie was so realistic that even he was starting to believe it.
"There are two sides to everything. Whichever side you stand on, you can make sense."
The Demon Sect Master stared at Ling Xian, "Therefore, I cannot fully trust you."
"It doesn't matter. Time will prove everything." Ling Xian brandished his hand. Though the Demon Sect Master was still doubtful, he sighed in relief.
To not fully trust Ling Xian, he had to believe some of it. That was why he used the word "fully".
"Other than time, I have another way."
The Demon Sect Master's gaze was deep and his tone was calm. However, Ling Xian could tell that he was testing him.
Thus, though he was panicking, his expression didn't change and he maintained his composure.
He didn't ask what method he was going to use. Instead, he smiled, "That's for the best. I don't want you to be suspicious."
"Is that so? Then when the time comes, please cooperate."
The Demon Sect Master frowned, unsure if Ling Xian was truly confident or if he was pretending to be calm.
"Of course. Only when all my doubts are gone can we work together." Ling Xian nodded with a smile.
He was already standing on the edge of a cliff. There was no way out. He could only pretend to be calm in order to temporarily calm this person down and keep his life.
As for what happens next, he will have to take it one step at a time.
"Working together …"
The Demon Sect Master's eyes brightened, "After I confirm your identity, we can talk about working together."
"When that happens, it won't be working together."
Ling Xian had a smile on his lips and teased, "It will be an order."
Hearing this, the Demon Sect Master fell into silence.
Ling Xian was right. If he really was a demon from the outside world, then the entire Demon Sect will have to listen to his commands.
"The prerequisite is that you really are a demon from the outside world."
"During this period of time, you will wait here. Don't even think about running away."
"You can't leave. Even if you do, I will spread the news that you are a demon from the outside world. When that happens, there will be no place for you on the Xuan Wu Continent."
The Demon Sect Master stared at Ling Xian and threatened him.
"I know that better than you." Ling Xian nodded with a smile. If he doesn't get the Grass of the Netherworld, he won't leave.
"As long as you know." The Demon Sect Master squinted and prepared to leave.
"Wait, isn't it time to give me the Grass of the Netherworld?" Ling Xian chuckled.
"Like I said, confirm your identity first." The Demon Sect Master ignored him.
"If you give it to me, aren't you afraid of my revenge?"
Ling Xian erased his smile and said, "If I were you, I would immediately prepare for both scenarios. After all, I cannot leave. If I'm not a demon from the outside world, you can take it back. "
Hearing this, the Demon Sect Master was startled and fell into silence.
Without considering his pride, Ling Xian's words were the most beneficial to him.
Therefore, he exhaled a long sigh, "What a sharp tongue. I can't even argue with you."
"You are flattering me." Ling Xian grinned.
"The Grass of the Netherworld will be delivered to you in a moment." The Demon Sect Master threw down this statement and left.
Seeing this, Ling Xian exhaled a long breath. His entire back was soaked.
He recalled the entire conversation and suddenly remembered something that made him exclaim.
"Life is like a play. It all depends on acting skills. This is so true!"
