True and False
"Of course."
The Minister of the Left quickly put away the key fragment. His eyes flashed with a smile.
"I'll go back and give it to His Excellency Gu Li. Please, Supreme White Supremacy, keep an eye out for it. If you find it, contact us as soon as possible."
Starlight flashed, and azure light streaked across the sky.
However, the Minister of the Left had been paying close attention to Taibai Jinxing and the others' movements. Once he was sure they couldn't see each other, he found a secluded spot and stopped.
His previously human-like appearance suddenly transformed into a horned, unruly man with pitch-black skin.
A demon.
The person Taibai Jinxing had mistaken for the Minister of the Left was, shockingly, a demon.
However, there was no miasma around him at all. If you ignored his appearance and relied solely on his aura, he really was no different from a human.
"Gu Li's pretty good at research. To think he'd come up with something like this. That foolish old hat really did scare him."
He twisted his neck and hovered in the sky. Then he placed his fingers to his pupils. Shockingly, he was holding a pair of spectacles that looked like contact lenses.
With a ruthless smile on his face, the space around the Demon Race expert's finger twisted.
The pair of contact lenses also shattered into powder under the distorted space, disappearing along with the wind.
"His aura concealment technique is excellent. I'm afraid that old geezer has the strength of a half-step ruler, yet he still couldn't recognize my aura. He could only maintain it for a short time, but his research direction is correct. It seems that as long as we continue working in this direction, the demons will be able to sneak into the human territory without anyone noticing. "
"Exterminate the demons and show off the human race's might? Ptooey!"
The demon expert spat viciously, then snapped his fingers. A door filled with miasma appeared in the sky.
"Time to go home."
He stretched lazily and stepped through the door. Just as he was about to step through it, the door vanished from the sky.
Taibai Jinxing remained in Raging Flame City. He maintained a respectful expression as he bowed in the direction the demon expert had left.
After a while, the burly man cracked his neck.
"Your Excellency, I sense that there's something wrong with the Minister of the Left."
Although the burly man's brain was not very good, his intuition was much sharper than that of ordinary people.
When the Minister of the Left obtained the key fragment of the Tomb of the God of Sin, he clearly sensed a flash of excitement and disdain in the Minister of the Left's eyes.
More importantly, how did the Minister of the Left know they were here?
The Minister of the Left commanded the Milky Way, but they were not the Emperor Star's Auxiliary Stars, nor were they the Fated Stars. The only possibility was that the Minister of the Left had been monitoring them all this time.
The reason for monitoring them should be the fragment of the Tomb of the God of Sin in their hands.
"There is a problem."
Taibai Jinxing lightly nodded his head and took out a fragment from his hand.
This fragment was the fragment of the key to the Tomb of the God of Sin.
When the burly man saw the fragment, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. "The one you gave him was fake?"
Taibai Jinxing nodded. "That's strange. We just got the fragment from Ye Zichen, and now he says Gu Li found the Divine Tomb's location? But it's fine if we find it, but what we have here is only a fragment. He actually said that he wanted to use this fragment to determine whether this is the real Tomb of the God of Sin. This is a big problem. "
The burly man couldn't help but nod.
To tell the truth, Taibai Jinxing still believed that Gu Li was the Emperor Star. However, the Minister of the Left's behavior seemed a bit strange.
He couldn't give him the key fragment just yet. He needed to go back and carefully verify their true identities.
If Gu Li really was the Emperor Star, then it wouldn't be too late to give him the real fragment. If his vigilance really did delay Gu Li's progress, he was willing to take responsibility.
In truth, part of the reason Taibai Jinxing was acting like this was because Ye Zichen's earlier words had truly shaken him.
His expression didn't seem fake, especially when he asked if Ye Zichen was lying to him ….
That wasn't anger at having his lies exposed. Rather, it came from the depths of his heart.
And what he said, who was he?
All of this was worth Taibai Jinxing investigating further.
…..
After seeing Taibai Jinxing off, Zuo Mo appeared in the reception hall.
Ye Zichen sat in a chair, a cigarette dangling from his lips. Quite a few burned cigarette butts littered the room, filling it with smoke.
"You're here."
He snuffed out his cigarette, activated his divine power, and the smoke dissipated.
"They left?"
Zuo Mo nodded. "Who were those two just now?" Ye Zichen's eyes flashed with disdain.
Ye Zichen's eyes flashed with mockery. He wanted to light another one, but when he remembered that Zuo Mo was there, he could only give up.
"You're crazy."
He didn't want to discuss this matter any further, but his heart was incomparably solemn.
Gu Li still hadn't changed his mind. He still wanted to obtain the God Emperor's legacy. Furthermore, he'd sought out Taibai Jinxing of his own accord, making it so that Taibai Jinxing couldn't detect that he was a demon.
Ye Zichen didn't want to think too much about this sort of aura-concealing technique, but ….
How did he know Taibai Jinxing had the key fragment? How did he find out and contact him?
Was it possible that something had gone wrong with Taibai Jinxing?
Ye Zichen gently tapped his fingers on the table. At that moment, he received a divine sense transmission in his sea of consciousness. Then, he stood up from his chair.
"I'm going to the River Styx."
When he arrived at the River Styx, Su Yiyun was already waiting for him.
"You called me over. Does that mean you can give me the Xuan-Yuan Sword now?"
"Yes."
Su Yiyun nodded. Ye Zichen's eyes blazed with passion.
The Xuan-Yuan Sword was the number one divine artifact of the primordial era. Not even the Eastern Emperor Taiyi's Bell could compare to it. Just how powerful would a divine artifact like that be?
Would they know that even Sovereigns would be nothing in front of him?
Of course, that was just Ye Zichen's imagination running wild.
Rulers were already the strongest existences here. If he could kill them with just the Xuan-Yuan Sword, why would he bother raising his cultivation? All he had to do was fight for the Xuan-Yuan Sword.
But even if he couldn't kill a ruler, with the Xuan-Yuan Sword by his side, Ye Zichen's combat strength would increase exponentially.
"Then what are you standing around for? Hurry up and go down."
"Of course I can, but you need to be mentally prepared." Su Yiyun patted Ye Zichen on the shoulder. "Great Emperor Xue Yang is here."
Ye Zichen's expression froze. Emperor Hades had messed things up between him and Great Emperor Xue Yang.
"Fine, fine. I'm here for the Xuan-Yuan Sword. Besides, I'm not really going to become his son-in-law. Even if I really am, he's still my father-in-law. What can he do to me?"
