Wan Quan didn't have the ability to sense Xiao Hei's presence like Shi Mu did.

In his view, none of what Shi Mu said was enough to prove that Shen Sangruo was indeed the Demon Lord.

This matter cannot be taken lightly; he must see even stronger evidence.

"How dare you!" Shi Mu could see through Wan Quan's intentions, but the moment he saw the Demon Lord, his heart had already completely followed Chen Sangruo.

He certainly couldn't stand anyone doubting his Demon Lord.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you question the Demon Lord's identity? You..."

Shi Mu wanted to say something, but when Shen Sanruo slightly raised her hand, he immediately fell silent.

He hurriedly asked her, "What are your orders, Demon Lord?"

Ishigure's loyalty amazed her, and he would definitely become her "good helper" in the future.

Pulling herself back to reality, she looked up at Wan Quan.

Her gaze was already sharp, and coupled with her identity as the Demon Lord, Wan Quan immediately felt a powerful sense of oppression, his heart pounding like a drum.

His palms were sweating even more, but he forced himself to meet her gaze by clenching his fists.

He repeated, "Please, Demon Lord, demonstrate something for your subordinate."

He was filled with unease, worried that this capricious man might drag him down to be fed to the dogs at the slightest provocation.

With her current strength, Shen Sangruo certainly couldn't do it, but she had Shi Mu, her loyal lackey.

He had no doubt that if she gave the order, Shi Mu could blow his head off on the spot.

The air seemed to freeze, and Wan Quan felt that even breathing had become difficult.

Only her mind was unusually lively.

"You're so mean! You definitely did it on purpose. Look how scared you've made them!" the dodder flower fairy complained, laughing so hard that her vines were shaking.

"Sister's acting is so realistic, she's exactly like that great demon," the snake woman in her poem form praised.

The Kui ox mooed, and the little koi swam around.

The dodder flower fairy continued, "How come I never noticed before that you actually had this talent? You're such a show-off."

Shen Sangruo remained expressionless, suppressing the voices of the several demonic beasts, "Quiet, quiet, it's my turn to speak."

After a long silence, she finally spoke, her voice revealing no emotion.

"You've never been with me before, so it's normal that you can't verify my identity."

"Just this once."

Having said that, she stretched out her hand towards Wan Quan, and countless divine soul powers gathered in her hand, emitting a light unique to divine soul power.

She even used Xiao Hei's light black divine soul power to cover up the original color of her divine soul power.

After reading it, Shi Mu had no doubts whatsoever.

Wan Quan felt that the power of the divine soul formed a powerful hand, forcibly knocking open his crown and pulling his divine soul outward.

Fortunately, she had studied soul magic and had fought with Ya Lan, so disguising herself as Ya Lan was a piece of cake, and even Shi Mu couldn't detect anything amiss.

Wan Quan was terrified and instinctively mobilized his strength to resist.

Shen Sangruo withdrew half of his divine soul power.

Wan Quan was also at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. Although she had practiced on Immortal Lord Changli, it was still somewhat difficult for her to completely extract his soul when he was in a state of full resistance.

Taking away half of it is enough to prove her ability.

After she withdrew her hand, she didn't say another word; someone else would speak for her.

Sure enough, Shi Mu exclaimed excitedly, "The spell to extract the soul is one of the Demon Lord's most proficient soul spells!"

The key point isn't actually the spell to extract the soul; this spell isn't some unique secret technique.

The key point is that in their eyes, Shen Sangruo, with only the strength of the late Golden Core stage, could extract the soul of Wan Quan, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage.

With such spiritual strength, who else in the world besides Ya Lan could achieve this?

That's definitely their Demon Lord!

"Quickly apologize to the Demon Lord!" Shi Mu slapped Wan Quan on the forehead.

Wan Quan's head was nearly loosened again by the slapping, but he couldn't care less and quickly knelt down to apologize to Shen Sangruo.

A wave of fear spread from the top of his head to his entire body.

In his eyes, the reason Shen Sangruo didn't completely extract his soul wasn't because she wasn't strong enough, but because she let him go.

Otherwise, his soul would have been shattered by her, which would be tantamount to brushing shoulders with death. How could he not be afraid?

"Your subordinate deserves to die! Your subordinate should not have doubted the Demon Lord's identity! Please punish me, Demon Lord!"

Shen Sangruo opened and closed her lips, only saying a few words coldly to Shi Mu: "The old rules, you know them."

The dodder flower fairy asked, "The old rules? Do you know about the punishments they used to inflict on demonic cultivators?"

"I don't know." Her voice completely changed in the sea of ​​consciousness, and she answered with a confident tone.

"I didn't know you could say it so fluently." Even it was taken aback.

"What you say isn't important. What's important is that feeling of being unfathomable and looking down on everything. You have to have that aura, you know?" Shen Sanruo said with considerable experience.

"You must be absolutely certain in your heart that I am Yalan."

Dodder Flower Fairy: ...

"You even started sharing your experiences."

"As long as you have confidence and conviction, even without old rules, Shi Mu will create one."

Moreover, she didn't believe that Yalan hadn't established a punishment system before.

Upon hearing this, Shi Mu's eyes lit up. If Shen Sangru still remembered their old rules, she must be the Demon Lord.

He stood tall and proud, declaring, "Yes! Your subordinate guarantees to watch him be tortured!"

Now, Shen Sangruo's identity as the Demon Lord has been confirmed.

He was walking with great pride and was about to take Wan Quan back to receive his punishment when he suddenly remembered his other purpose for coming.

"By the way, Demon Lord, what are your plans for infiltrating the conservative faction this time? Your subordinate will cooperate fully."

"Guess." The answer remained concise.

As Shen Sang gradually gets into the swing of things, her acting becomes more and more natural.

She first listened to Shi Mu's guess, and then made arrangements for the next step based on his guess.

We can extract more information from the words coming from Ishigure.

“They must want to gain the trust of the conservatives and then undermine them from within, right?” Shi Mu said.

"There's been progress." Shen Sanruo smiled slightly.

Upon seeing this, Shi Mu knew that his guess was correct. He was even happier than if it were New Year's Day after receiving a compliment.

"The Demon Lord must know that Qi Yan has joined our radical faction and is planning a full-scale attack on the conservative faction, intending to coordinate with us from the inside. They are truly on the same wavelength!"

Qi Yan?

Shen Sanruo caught the key information in the words, but she couldn't be sure if this person knew Ya Lan, so she didn't press for details.

He simply hummed in response.

This isn't a good place to get information; she needs to go to the radicals to have a better chance of extracting information.

Another plan surfaced in his mind, and he spoke:

"It's not convenient to discuss serious matters here. In a couple of days, come and take me back with you. I will then tell you the detailed plan before you send me back."
