"So, Song Xiwei in that room was just a stand-in? The Demon Lord himself didn't even come, did he?"
Lian Ce pressed for an answer.
Song Xiwei sensed something was off about his expression. "Even if I wasn't the person in that room, he's still innocent. What are you going to do to him?"
"Hahahaha, what are you saying? I thought it was you. Do you know that the Demon King went to such great lengths and planned for so many years, not only to unify the world, but also because of you!" Lian Ce's laughter sounded like a venomous snake, making people extremely uncomfortable.
"I advise you not to do anything to the person in that room. If something happens to him, your plan to cooperate with the Demon Clan will be completely ruined!" Song Xiwei was unsure whether Aoqian could escape safely, so she had no choice but to deal with Lian Ce first.
Lian Ce stared at Song Xiwei suspiciously, "Don't tell me that your double is some important character. He can't possibly be..."
Before Lian Ce could finish speaking, Song Xi smiled and nodded, her eyes revealing a hint of sincerity. "Yes, he is Demon Lord Aoqian. I switched identities with him to see you, just to prevent you from playing any tricks. I didn't expect you to actually have quite a few tricks up your sleeve. How about it? Surprised? Unexpected?"
"You!!" Lian Ce panicked a little.
But then he laughed, "Even if the Demon Lord is in trouble, we can simply find a new candidate within the Demon Clan. The Demon Clan is so vast, there will always be another suitable person. As for you, now that you know all our secrets, do you think you can escape unscathed?"
“Now that you’ve absorbed the demon core, dealing with you will definitely be a bit of a hassle,” Song Xiwei commented, scrutinizing Lian Ce.
Lian Ce sneered, "We haven't even fought yet, so don't underestimate me. In the past, you were incredibly strong, and others couldn't even compare. But I'm not the same person I used to be! Song Xiwei, you should blame yourself for being too clever and ruining such a great game!"
"I don't think it's necessary to actually take action. I just want to know whether you've decided to offer me to the Demon King or just kill me outright?" While speaking to Lian Ce, Song Xiwei secretly transmitted her voice to Ao Qian.
Aoqian seems to be fine, as the telepathic communication went smoothly.
Aoqian told her telepathically that there were a few flies on his end, nothing to worry about, and that he had already dealt with them. He then asked her if things were going smoothly on his end.
While talking to Lian Ce, Song Xiwei told Aoqian that the situation was too complicated, and then briefly explained it to Aoqian in a simple and concise manner.
Aoqian immediately understood: "Just as I guessed, the demon race really does have wolfish ambitions!"
"Our identities have been exposed, but it doesn't matter anymore. We've already gotten the information out of you. It's just that there seems to be some kind of barrier set up around here. Lian Ce set it up in a very complicated way. It was probably originally meant to protect you, but now it's all being used on me."
Aoqian was very worried about Song Xiwei's situation, but his words were more intended to reassure her and tell her not to panic: "I will come to find you, don't be afraid."
"I'm not scared anymore, it's just... I was really worried about you just now. I feel much more relieved to know you're alright."
Before Aoqian could reply, Lian Ce stared at Song Xiwei and circled her a few times. "If you die, it is true that your body can be given to the Demon King in exchange for a reward. However, the Demon King also has an order that if you are offered up alive, His Majesty the Demon King will personally strengthen my inner core. In the future, the power I can obtain will be endless. What an honor this is."
"I never expected that your Demon King would value me so much." Song Xiwei thought of Miao Ruyi's crazy appearance back then.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that all demons are crazy, and when they go crazy, they really are a headache.
Now they've even stirred up the human race and the cultivation world into this mess.
Despite the fact that such a major incident occurred, the three realms above the Heavenly Court were surprisingly unconcerned and remained remarkably calm.
