"I suggest you retract your killer's intent. Unless you don't want to get out."
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up and he revealed a teasing smile. He believed that as long as he heard this, the Honor Demon would temporarily give in.
The result was just as he predicted. After this statement entered his ears, the demon retracted his killer's intent and asked in a hurry, "Young man, what do you mean by that?"
"Do I need to spell it out?"
Ling Xian teasingly smiled, "Oh well, since you have a problem with your brain, then I will spell it out."
A problem with his brain?
The demon was furious. However, because of what Ling Xian said, he didn't get angry and patiently waited for Ling Xian to continue.
"What I mean is simple. If you cooperate, I will let you out." Ling Xian grinned, his handsome face was full of confidence.
"Let me out?"
The demon acted as if he heard the funniest joke in the world and laughed out loud, "Hahaha, young man, I admire your courage. But do you know what this is? This is the Demon Defending Monument that can suppress all demons in the world! How could such a divine object be broken by an ant like you? "
"I am sorry. The ant you are talking about knows how to activate the Demon Defending Monument." Ling Xian's expression was calm and he wasn't at all affected by the demon's words.
"Hmm?"
Hearing the confidence in Ling Xian's voice, the demon was a little startled. Then, remembering how much he knows about the monument, he couldn't help but believe him. However, he didn't completely believe him. As he probed with his Qi, he asked, "Young man, do you really have the ability to let me out?"
"If I didn't, would I be wasting my time with you?" Ling Xian spoke softly. His expression was still as calm as ever.
In this world, who knows the Demon Defending Monument the most? If he claims to be number two, then nobody would dare to claim to be number one. In the entire world, he is one of the people who knows the monument the best.
Not only does he know how to activate it, but he also knows how to control it. He even knows how to speed up the demon's death. If that wasn't the case, Ling Xian wouldn't be asking a tiger for its skin and trying to extort some benefits from the demon.
After all, he was an omnipotent that surpassed the original level!
"You really do have a way!"
His Qi didn't detect any signs of Ling Xian lying. The demon was excited. He had been trapped inside the monument for thousands of years and had been thinking about getting out.
However, he knew just how terrifying the Demon Defending Monument was. Other than being refined by the monument, there was no other possibility. Now, he suddenly heard that Ling Xian had a way to help him escape. Why wouldn't he be excited?
However, he was, after all, an almighty of his generation. He still had the willpower to know that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world. Thus, after being excited for a moment, he fell into silence.
After a long while, an indifferent voice came from the stone tablet.
"What do you want?"
The fish took the bait.
The corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He wasn't afraid that the demon would try to harm him. He was afraid that the demon wouldn't take the bait. Now that the demon asked him what he wanted, he knew that he was halfway done.
"Demon Lord, you are indeed a smart man. I will not make things difficult for you. As long as you promise to help me with three tasks, I will let you out."
"Three tasks. If you can let me out, I will even agree to 30." The demon's voice was calm. But if one listened carefully, one could hear the joy he was suppressing.
"There's no need for that. Three tasks will do."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "As for the specifics, I haven't thought about it yet. But don't worry, I will not ask you to commit suicide. "
"No problem, I promise." The demon agreed quickly and said in a hurry, "Now, can you let me out?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian chuckled, "Demon, do I look like an idiot to you? Although they couldn't be killed in one fell swoop, the vast majority of demons didn't keep their promises. You want me to release you just because of a sentence that doesn't have any binding power? Aren't you being too delusional? "
"Then what do you want?" The demon's voice was cold.
"Very simple. Make an oath to the heavens. As long as you make that oath, I will let you out." Ling Xian spoke softly, "Or else, if you don't keep your promise, then I will be in deep trouble."
To cultivators, an oath to the heavens has a very strong binding force. Especially for powerful cultivators, the binding force is even stronger. Once an oath is broken, then the heavens will send down a God's Trial and turn the person into dust.
Since the beginning of time, legend has it that only one person has escaped the punishment of breaking an oath. The rest of the people who violated the oath of the Heavenly Dao were all destroyed by the Heavenly Punishment.
"Damned ant, you dare to threaten me!"
The demon was furious. It wasn't clear if he felt insulted or if Ling Xian saw through him.
"Demon, I will give you one last piece of advice. Retract your arrogance."
Ling Xian's expression turned cold, "Don't forget, your freedom is in my hands. So I advise you to behave yourself. Or else you will be trapped inside until you turn into a puddle of blood. "
"You!"
The demon was furious, but there was nothing he could do. For the sake of his freedom, he really didn't dare to be angry anymore. However, making an oath to the heavens that cannot be broken made him a little unwilling.
Remember that he was a demon who once dominated the world. Why would he be willing to be controlled by someone else? Therefore, he silenced as if he was considering.
Seeing that the demon wasn't speaking, the corner of Ling Xian's lips curled up. He casually said, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you. Not only do I know how to lift the seal, I also know how to speed up the process."
This statement was like a strong medicine that made the demon's expression change!
Other than the irresistible sealing ability, the Demon Defending Monument also had the ability to refine.
The reason why he was able to last until now was because of his own capabilities. For two, it's been thousands of years since anyone has activated the Demon Defending Monument's array.
There was only a tiny amount of spiritual energy that was slowly wearing down his body. If someone used that technique, then he would've turned into a puddle of blood.
Therefore, after hearing that Ling Xian knew how to refine the array, the demon couldn't help but to be fearful.
"Think about it carefully. Promise me, and not only will your life be guaranteed, but you will also be reborn. If you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame me for using the array to refine you. "
Ling Xian's expression was emotionless as he uttered out a statement that almost made the demon puke blood.
"I will give you 10 seconds to think about it. Remember, you have no choice."
10 seconds to think about it?
What the f * ck!
The demon cursed silently, but he didn't dare to say it out loud. He was terrified that Ling Xian would raise his hand and turn him into a puddle of blood.
"Aye, I cannot believe that I have been dominating for half my life and am being threatened by an ant. I have no choice but to agree."
Silently sighing, the demon was helpless. He knew very well that Ling Xian was completely right. There were only two paths before him.
One, he would be controlled by someone else. Two, he would turn into a puddle of blood.
In other words, if he didn't want to die, then he had to choose the former.
"Oh well, I admit defeat."
The demon exhaled a long sigh and uttered out a serious statement that made Ling Xian's lips curl up.
"Today, I, the demon, swear to the heavens. If this person lets me go, then I will complete three tasks for him. If I go against my words, then I will be struck by lightning! "
