"Is this Wan Cangqiong?" The Human Emperor asked the soldier beside him, looking at Wan Cangqiong on the Demon battlefield.

In fact, he had met Wan Cangqiong in private, but the two had never met publicly, so he still needed to pretend.

The soldier nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

The Emperor narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping over Wan Cangqiong's face, and touched his chin.

Although he wasn't close to Wan Cangqiong, he still knew him well.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't be a match for Liu Tianhe.

Could it be that I've had some extraordinary encounter during this time?

So be it.

Now that the Second Elder has also made a move, dealing with Wan Cangqiong should not be a problem.

The Second Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace is a genuine sixth-level Tribulation Transcending Body, more than capable of dealing with Wan Cangqiong!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the Second Elder slowly entered the battlefield. Wan Cangqiong was toying with Liu Tianhe, who was tied up like a dumpling. When he saw the other party approaching, he pushed Liu Tianhe away.

"And where did you get this scallion from?"

The Second Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace snorted coldly, flicked his long robe, and said in a cold voice, "Arrogant junior of the Demon Clan! You are not worthy to know my name!"

"Hmm?" Wan Cangqiong was taken aback, then grinned. "Old man, you're really arrogant! You have no airs of otherworldly refinement whatsoever. Actually, even if you didn't say it, I would know your identity: the Second Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace, Ma Si! You used to be a poor horse breeder, but your master took a liking to you and you entered the Human Emperor's Palace to cultivate. Even your name is so vulgar. I bet your father thought that this was all you would ever be like when he named you, right? Hahaha—"

The stable boy was instantly enraged, roaring, "Arrogant brat of the demon race! You will pay the price for insulting my father!"

Having said that, the stableman took out his thorny whip from his sleeve. The whip was wrapped in lightning and struck Wan Cangqiong!

Wan Cangqiong was not to be outdone and unleashed his strongest martial skill to meet the challenge.

"Series One: Soul-Slaying Blade!"

A blade and a whip hurtled toward each other, but the stable boy reacted first, completing an incredible mid-air reversal to dodge Wan Cangqiong's whip.

Wan Cangqiong dodged in the same way. The whip grazed Wan Cangqiong's face, coming within a finger's width of his face, almost slicing off the tip of his nose.

After landing, Wan Cangqiong patted his chest and said, "That was close! I almost got whipped by you, you old man. I'd rather be whipped by a woman than a man."

The stable boy snorted coldly, offering no reply. Instead, he turned and closed the distance, wrestling with Wan Cangqiong using his long whip, which was wrapped in lightning.

During the struggle, the Emperor frowned deeply and couldn't help but let out a soft sound of doubt.

The Grand Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace keenly sensed the Human Emperor's slight doubt and asked curiously, "Your Majesty, have you noticed anything unusual?"

The Emperor's gaze was fixed on Wan Cangqiong, and he remained silent.

Others might not be able to tell, but the Human Emperor, being half-human and half-demon, immediately noticed the difference in Wan Cangqiong.

This guy... that demonic aura on him... seems to be just a disguise?

The Emperor's brows furrowed even more.

Wan Cangqiong should be a pure-blooded demon, so why would he deliberately disguise himself?

During the battle with the horse stables, Wan Cangqiong took a break and glanced up at the Human Emperor.

Their eyes met, and the Emperor was taken aback.

Those eyes...

wrong!

That's absolutely not the look a Chaos Demon should have! The eyes that looked at me just now were definitely human eyes!

As far as he knew, the Chaos Demon blood in Wan Cangqiong's body should have been extremely concentrated, so why...?

etc!

The Emperor narrowed his eyes.

Could it be... that this person is also half-human and half-demon, just like himself?

Being half-human and half-demon is intolerable to the Nine Provinces and the Demon Realm. If discovered, they will be beheaded along with their parents!

He touched his chin and chose to continue watching.

Soon, the battle entered a fierce stage.

The horsemen continued their fierce attack like a storm, forcing Wan Cangqiong to retreat repeatedly.

In everyone's eyes, Wan Cangqiong had already fallen into a disadvantageous position.

However, only the more powerful Human Emperor and the Grand Elder of the Human Emperor's Palace could see through the clues.

It seems that Wan Cangqiong is intentionally yielding a move?

This discovery greatly surprised the two of them.

It was already quite remarkable that a demon at the third level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm could fight against a human at the sixth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Yet, Wan Cangqiong not only showed no signs of being embarrassed, but also put on a show with ease.

Could it be... that his true realm is not the Tribulation Transcending Tribulation Tribulation Body?

The Emperor thought this was very likely.

In the center of the battlefield, when Wan Cangqiong was driven to a dead end, he swept his spear across the battlefield, repelling the horsemen.

The hearts of the many sect leaders and elders watching the battle from Seven Star City instantly leaped into their throats.

Is Wan Cangqiong about to launch a counterattack?

However, the next second, the stable boy flew into a rage and roared.

"Nine Thunder Whip!"

With a roar, the long whip summoned heavenly thunder! The whip struck Wan Cangqiong heavily.

Wan Cangqiong let out a muffled groan as blood splattered, his back torn and bleeding.

He staggered forward in a disheveled manner, and before he could regain his footing, the horseman lashed out with several more whips, sending Wan Cangqiong flying right in front of the demon army.

He struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Liu Tianhe, who was bound hand and foot.

Seeing that the stable boy was about to continue, he immediately grabbed Liu Tianhe and took him hostage.
