While he was gloating, his smile quickly froze. He wondered if he would be silenced after learning such a secret.
The Demon Emperor's expression changed several times, and he snorted, "An interesting story, but unfortunately I don't believe it."
The voice said mockingly, "You may not believe it, but you know best whether you do or not."
The Demon Emperor frowned and said, "You summoned us here just to tell me some nonsensical story, didn't you?"
"Do you know who I am?" the voice sighed.
"After playing the mystic for so long, who knows who you are?" The Demon Emperor's voice was somewhat cold. "My patience is limited."
Given his cultivation level and status, who would dare to play tricks on him like this on ordinary days?
"As I just mentioned, the Heavenly Emperor had many wives. One of them gave birth to the ancestor of your Golden Crow clan, and the other gave birth to my father. So, the progenitor of your Golden Crow clan is my uncle, which is why I said I am your ancestor."

Wu Liang suddenly realized why this ancient tomb, though belonging to an imperial dynasty, was so different from a normal imperial tomb in terms of both scale and form. It turned out to belong to a deposed emperor.
The Demon Emperor sneered, "I originally thought you were someone important, which is why I patiently listened to so much of what you had to say. Turns out you're just a piece of trash whose throne was usurped."
"From what I've observed, you probably don't have much time left to live, do you?" the voice suddenly said coldly.
