Seeing this damn demon speak, Fang Qi couldn't help but feel a sense of vigilance in his heart.
But he didn't dare to be negligent. He could only pretend to be numb and walk over. Yes, in fact, Fang Qi wasn't enslaved by this demon at all from the beginning. Back then, Akentu had implanted a trace of fear deep in his heart. But the swordsmanship of the Nine Phoenix lineage was very different from Wohnde's power. If one had to say, it would be that the swordsmen of the Nine Phoenix lineage paid more attention to the cultivation of the mind.
Although the Phantom Chariot was a traitor of the Nine Phoenix lineage, it didn't mean that they had fallen spiritually. In fact, it was the opposite. The Ironheart and White Raven Swordsmanship were more focused on the cultivation of the mind than the Desert Wind Swordsmanship. Especially the former, it required the user to be as calm as water.
And Fang Qi, as the leader of this lineage, of course, surpassed his master. He was oppressed by Akentu back then because of the huge difference in strength. And when Akentu's clone died, he immediately noticed the flaw in his mind.
The people of the Nine Phoenix were also a member of this world. Naturally, he knew how terrifying the demons were. He didn't dare to hide the matter that day and told Brando and Delfien about it. Brando knew the tricks of the demons like the back of his hand. Although he couldn't do anything about the demon's Seed of Courage, it was the masterpiece of a demon lord after all. And the domain of the mind had always been mysterious. Other than the mysterious psionic users in the north of Nazaire, few people were proficient in mind magic, whether it was Wohnde or the Nine Phoenix.
But Brando's solution was very simple and effective. He immediately let the little female dragon use magic to shield the Seed of Courage in Fang Qi's heart. After all, the Seed of Courage wasn't invincible. In fact, if it wasn't constantly protected by its master, it would soon disappear. But the demons would often appear in front of the victim shortly after planting the Seed of Fear. They would seize the power of the spell and completely make the victim submit and become enslaved.
Generally, the demons would only plant the Seed of Courage on the more important servants. Brando didn't understand why Akentu would plant such a thing on Fang Qi. He could only think that it was Akentu's bad taste. But at that time, Akentu's doppelgänger had already been killed by him, and presumably, he wouldn't appear in front of Fang Qi for a while. Adding to that, Fang Qi didn't take this matter to heart.
But what Brendel and Fang Qi didn't expect was that their unintentional action would actually play a role at this time. When Akentu appeared in front of Fang Qi again, the latter could not help but rejoice in his heart, knowing that he had finally escaped a disaster.
However, he had only managed to escape the fate of being enslaved.
Akentu didn't realize that his Seed of Courage didn't work, but the difference in strength between the two was like heaven and earth. Fang Qi was smart enough to know that he couldn't resist. Otherwise, regardless of whether Magadal could react in time, his head would definitely fall to the ground first.
He immediately pretended to be obsessed and obediently left with the Lord of Purgatory. He only hoped that Brando and the others could react quickly and come to save him.
It was only at this moment that he wanted to see that damned Aouine person, and his own cousin, more than ever.
"I hope Miss Delfien can analyze my situation quickly. Otherwise, I'll be in big trouble this time." Fang Qi's expression didn't change. He walked to Akentu's side like a puppet, but his mind was spinning with thoughts.
Because the little female dragon's magic hadn't lost its effect, the Lord of Purgatory beside him didn't realize his true thoughts.
"Go to the crystal ball."
Akentu coldly glanced at his' servant 'and ordered at the same time.
Fang Qi was stunned. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Of course, he knew what the crystal ball was. Didn't they come all the way here for the Mystery of Emerald? And the answer to the Mystery of Emerald was undoubtedly the door to the Stagnation Realm.
Although he didn't know what the Stagnation Realm looked like, he could roughly guess what it was after seeing the scene in the crystal ball.
Of course, he wasn't someone who would risk his life for a little benefit. He knew that under the surveillance of this demon, he wouldn't be able to play any tricks. But the scene he saw earlier gave him great hope. Obviously, that damn demon was extremely afraid of the crystal ball, and there was an invisible magic circle around the crystal ball that could stop it from moving forward.
And this guy obviously wanted him to get close to the crystal ball?
Fang Qi wasn't a fool. Brando had already told him that he and Huang Huo were allowed to join this adventure team because the method to unlock the Mystery of Emerald might use his and Huang Huo's bloodline inheritance. How could he not understand that this damn demon should have the same idea now?
This also meant that the risk of him getting close to the crystal ball was obviously much lower than that of this damn demon.
His heart couldn't help but pound for a moment. If he could leave this damn demon and run into the crystal ball alone, wouldn't this demon be unable to do anything to him?
More importantly, the crystal ball was related to the secret of the ultimate inheritance of the Nine Phoenix. Yes, he did promise Brendel and the others that he would share the secrets inside, but that was under the original plan. Now that he was controlled by this devil, he had no choice but to do so. If he could profit from this disaster and obtain the treasures in the Stagnation Realm first, then he couldn't be blamed for it.
Although the descendants of the Ghost Chariot lineage valued trust, they weren't pedantic people who followed the rules. Otherwise, they wouldn't have betrayed the Nine Phoenix lineage. Fang Qi thought of this possibility and almost couldn't maintain his emotions on the surface. Even Akentu noticed his abnormality and couldn't help but look back at him doubtfully.
This glance almost scared Fang Qi out of his wits. Fortunately, he managed to control the fear and greed in his heart at the last moment. At the same time, the demon seemed to be quite confident in its strength and didn't believe that it couldn't even suppress a mere mortal with the Enlightenment of Truth, so it didn't doubt it too much.
Akentu's glance wasn't so much suspicion as it was urging Fang Qi's dissatisfaction with his hesitation.
It didn't know that its' servant 'wasn't afraid, but was absent-minded because he was too excited. Fang Qi took a deep breath and then pretended to be stiff as he walked into the Stagnation Realm. Although he was quite convinced by Brando and Delfien's inference, he couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment. Who knew if this strange magic circle and crystal ball really needed the blood of the Nine Phoenix to open? What if it attacked him like it attacked the demon?
Thinking about it, the cold-blooded demon lord wouldn't take pity on a mere mortal's life and let him stop midway. Maybe it had the intention of sacrificing him alive.
Fang Qi didn't expect that his casual guess had almost guessed Akentu's thoughts, but at least he still kept a straight face and slowly approached the crystal ball.
Fifty feet, forty feet …
In fact, he had already passed the area where Akentu was first repelled by the crystal ball, but the crystal ball was still and didn't seem to show any signs of exerting the terrifying power from before.
At this moment, Fang Qi couldn't help but feel excited, but he still understood that he was not completely out of danger. At least at this distance, the damn demon lord still dared to go deep. If he dared to run away, the other party would definitely drag him back like a dead duck before he could react.
At that time, his life and death would no longer be in his control.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble, but he still walked forward step by step calmly until he entered the position where Akentu had triggered the magic circle.
And in the valley, it was still quiet at this moment.
Seeing this scene, Akentu couldn't help but widen his eyes, and even his breathing became a little heavy.
Fang Qi's breathing also became heavy, and the veins on his arms and forehead bulged. Of course, he knew that the opportunity was right in front of him, but the more it was at this moment, the more he couldn't afford to make a mistake.
Unfortunately, some things were beyond human control, and one of them was the speed of his heartbeat and blood flow. Before this, although his emotions occasionally fluctuated, they were still within his control. Coupled with the little female dragon's spell shielding him, Akentu was careless and did not notice it for a while.
But at this moment, if Akentu still couldn't discover the abnormal movements of his strange 'servant', then he would be claiming the title of demon lord in vain, not to mention that his nickname was' cunning '.
In fact, the moment Fang Qi's breathing became heavy, Akentu roared, "Damn it, stop right there!"
This roar exploded like thunder, scaring Fang Qi so much that he almost jumped up. But how could this genius Ghost Chariot stop at this time? Besides, he was not a fool, so he immediately reacted and ran. As soon as he moved, Akentu understood that he had been fooled. This was simply a great shame. He, a demon lord, was actually deceived by a mere mortal.
Not to mention, he had even boasted in front of this human and mocked Brando and Fu Luofa, showing off his superiority. Thinking that his previous performance had fallen into the eyes of 'Fang Qi', Akentu wished that there was a hole in the ground for him to crawl into.
But before that, he understood that it was more important to capture this damn human and kill him to silence him.
"You're dead!" Akentu screamed and flew in Fang Qi's direction. At this time, Fang Qi had actually given up all thoughts. There was only one thought in his mind — to run, run as fast as he could. As long as he got close to the crystal ball, he would be safe.
But he never dreamed that he had overestimated the strength of this demon lord's clone, but he still did not expect the other party to be so much faster than him. Just as he took his second step, he felt a sharp whistling sound coming from behind him from within the bright light of the formation.
Even if he did not look back, he knew that it was Akentu's claw.
It's over! Fang Qi's heart was filled with despair.
