So Lian Ce didn't hold back, "The Demon Lord needed Song Xiwei's help before because the Demon Clan was in dire straits. But things are different now. The Demon Clan is much more stable now, and Song Xiwei is just a lazy person kept in the Demon Clan. Not only can he not help His Majesty the Demon Lord, but he will also implicate the Demon Clan because of his own problems. Rather than being implicated by Song Xiwei in the future, it would be better to hand him over to His Majesty the Demon King as soon as possible. It would be a win-win situation. What do you think?"
Song Xiwei was glad that she and Aoqian had switched identities.
At this moment, Lian Ce was saying these words to himself, not to Ao Qian.
Otherwise, based on Song Xiwei's understanding of Ao Qian, Ao Qian would definitely...
Although Aoqian is a person with fairly good self-control, conversely, if someone were to shamelessly ask her to hand Aoqian over, she would not be willing.
This was an unspoken understanding: she would not hand over Aoqian, and Aoqian would not hand her over either.
"The terms sound tempting, but I have no ambition to expand the Demon Clan in the past two years. As you can see, I do not wish to have any conflicts with the outside world. You have dragged the Demon Clan into chaos and asked me to hand over my most trusted subordinate. What makes you so smug that you think I should agree?"
Song Xiwei felt that Lian Ce must still be holding back some things.
She wanted to continue trying to get information out of him.
But she also knew that Aoqian was waiting there alone, probably very anxious, so she had to hurry.
"As expected of the Demon Lord, I have come with even greater sincerity. Your Majesty may look down on those human territories, but there is one thing that will surely tempt you."
As Lian Ce spoke, he took out a gourd from his personal space.
He asked mysteriously, "Does Your Majesty the Demon Lord know what this thing is?"
Song Xiwei smelled a very pungent odor. Fearing that it might be a trap, she quickly shut off her sense of smell and stopped inhaling the odor.
But he didn't give himself away, simply saying calmly, "What's the secret behind this?"
"Does Your Majesty feel that I am completely different from last time when we met?" Lian Ce asked with a smug look on his face.
Song Xiwei nodded slightly. "So, the power within you is related to what's inside the gourd?"
"That's for sure. The gas inside this gourd can nurture a brand new inner core. We cultivators mainly cultivate with spiritual power, but the demon race relies on demon cores, which can be expanded to be used by us cultivators after a transformation. Similarly, His Majesty the Demon Lord relies on cultivating demonic energy, and if you can obtain another inner core, it will be like adding wings to a tiger. If other members of the demon race can also obtain an extra inner core, wouldn't that be double protection? Even if you don't do it for yourself, for the entire demon race, wouldn't that be a great achievement that benefits the entire demon race?"
Lian Ce believed that as long as the Demon Lord wasn't stupid, this deal would definitely go through.
Because no one can resist such a temptation.
Lian Ce, too, has come to this point because he cannot refuse the opportunity to have another chance at a new life.
A cultivator's strength, gained through talent and practice, is limited. But suddenly obtaining an inner core, and even experiencing the true feeling of being a powerful being in a short period of time, is an irresistible experience. He has become increasingly obsessed.
Song Xiwei was utterly shocked to hear this.
If the demon race were so powerful, they would have unified the six realms long ago.
Lian Ce, oh Lian Ce...
He was once considered the pride of their sect.
How could they have become so foolish?
The mutated inner core was used on a cultivator, which may have led to rapid progress in the short term, deceiving him and making him believe that he could really change his fate.
But the real price to pay is probably...
