Chapter 164: Exposed
Worried about her? Chi Yan sneered inwardly, what a joke!
Qiu Qianling was just a tool she used to complete her mission. How could a normal person worry about a tool?
The reason she helped Qiu Qianling divert the thunder was simply because she was afraid that if she died, no one would come to help her complete the main quest. After all, she had spent so many points on Qiu Qianling, so she had to see some return, right?
Moreover, the white tower that shocked Murong Ci was not a special magical weapon. It was just an ordinary lightning rod with a buff that could guide eighty-one heavenly thunders. It could be obtained with 10,000 points.
She hadn't expected this lightning rod to be so effective. She even suspected it could be used to withstand the thunderstorms that would come with becoming a god. Unfortunately, her own cultivation couldn't improve, so it was all in vain.
Chi Li was afraid that this thing would arouse Qiu Qianling's suspicion, so she even set it up as a disposable prop that would be destroyed after use. However, she didn't expect that Qiu Qianling actually shattered the last nine thunderbolts!
Should I say she's worthy of being the heroine of this world? She's so awesome it's infuriating.
But then again, Qiu Qianling should have known that she was not Murong Ci, so why did he still look so happy when he saw her?
She had been deceived by Shi Zhenlin and Shi Zhuoyue before, so shouldn't she hate being deceived the most? What was going on now?
Chi Qi stared at Qiu Qianling. Her eyes, filled with trust and dependence, made her feel a little uncomfortable. She glanced away coldly and denied it in a cold voice, "I don't know what magical weapon you're talking about. I haven't been to Snake Prison Mountain either. I just used the voyeurism technique to see you fighting with Fentian."
Qiu Qianling was skeptical. Wasn't the White Tower really built by her master? But she couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing for her.
Then he continued, "After all, the only reason I trained you was to kill Fentian. Since you've already done it, let's end our master-disciple relationship here."
Qiu Qianling was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "Why? Master, is there something I did wrong before? As long as you tell me, I can change it!"
Then she thought that the master must have seen everything, which means that the master already knew that she had guessed that she was not Murong Ci. Did he want to break up with her because he didn't want to reveal his identity?
Thinking of this, Qiu Qianling immediately softened his voice and said earnestly, "Master, I know you are not Murong Ci, but I don't care. You must have some concerns about not telling me your identity. It doesn't matter, you don't have to tell me. It's enough for me to know that you are my master."
Chi Li raised her eyebrows in surprise. Wasn't this child a little too considerate? She hadn't explained anything yet, and she had already thought of a reason for her.
Unfortunately, the truth cannot be hidden.
Her goal has been achieved, and Qiu Qianling also has the strength and status to fight against the immortals, so there is no need to waste time acting with her here.
However, Qiu Qianling could not see the indifferent expression under her mask, and had no idea what she was thinking. He just thought hard and kept saying words to keep her.
"Besides, I haven't repaid Master for his kindness to me. Now I am also a demon like Master. Didn't you say you wanted to defeat the immortals? With just one order from you, I can mobilize the demon army to slaughter the immortals. I can do it."
"So... don't leave me..."
There are too few people in this world who are good to her, and too few people she can trust wholeheartedly.
Just think of it as her being selfish. She had already lost her mother and didn't want to lose her master again.
Chi Qi looked at Qiu Qianling and found that she, who had a stern face in front of those demon kings just now, was now looking at her timidly, with pleading and expectation in her dark eyes.
She is like a good student who stretches out her hands, waiting for the teacher to put the candy in her hands as a reward.
She could almost imagine what Qiu Qianling was thinking at the moment: I have tried my best to do everything, why can't I get the candy that others can get easily?
Chi Qi suddenly felt a headache. She was not a good teacher. Apart from releasing some magic spiders and magic snakes to torment her, she had not done anything good. Why did he suddenly trust her so much?
She was almost a little disappointed, "I lied to you, aren't you angry at all?"
Qiu Qianling looked bewildered. "Why should I be angry? Master, you haven't done anything to hurt me. You just concealed your identity. I can understand."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sinister sneer suddenly rang out from under the mask. "Understand? Very well, then I hope that when you see my face, you can still understand my good intentions like you do now."
Qiu Qianling's gaze fell on her white mask, and hesitantly asked, "Master, do you want to..."
Chi Qi hooked her finger lightly, then tilted her face slightly, "Don't you want to know who I am? Then come here and take it off with your own hands."
Qiu Qianling suddenly felt uneasy, but he still walked in front of Chi Li. Just as he was about to reach out his hand, the horn on his forehead was suddenly touched by a finger, and the touch was warm and cool.
Chi Li's slightly teasing voice sounded above her head, "It's a real character."
Qiu Qianling looked puzzled. Isn't Master also a demon? Why did he say that? It seemed as if this demon horn surprised her.
But she was too lazy to think too much. At this moment, she just wanted to know who was under the white mask.
If the master is willing to let her know his identity, which he has been hiding, does it mean that he will not sever ties with her?
Holding such a beautiful fantasy, Qiu Qianling reached out and took off the mask on Chi Li's face.
A slightly stern face immediately appeared in her eyes, with sharp eyes, clean lines on the cheeks, and a refreshing and clean look. However, this face was too familiar and too unforgettable.
The mask in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.
Qiu Qianling's pupils trembled, his heart began to pound, and a gnashing voice rang out in his mind -
Thank you! Yu! Qing!
"No, this is impossible. Master, are you using some kind of illusion? Are you kidding me? I don't like this joke." Qiu Qianling took a step back and looked at the face with some anger.
But the next moment, Chi Li raised her hand and broke off the horns on her forehead, smiling and saying, "My good daughter is going to the Demon Realm. I am really worried about her fate. Unfortunately, she has fallen into depravity after all."
Qiu Qianling widened her eyes. Xie Yuqing had said this to her alone when they were in Zhongzhou.
At that time, she just thought that this person's words were too hypocritical and corny, but now, she finally understood the deep meaning of these words.
Xie Yuqing knew at that time that she went to the Demon Realm to kill Fentian and replace him.
And the person in front of her, her master, is her enemy Xie Yuqing!
"Why? Why are you doing this?" Qiu Qianling's eyes turned red instantly, and his hands hanging by his side began to tremble uncontrollably. He was completely unable to accept this fact.
Chi Li raised a wicked smile. That's right, hate her. This is the reaction she likes.
She smiled and said, "Because I killed your mother, I feel guilty about you, so I want to make it up to you by treating you like my own daughter. Hehehe... You don't really believe that, do you? Stop dreaming! And you asked me why? Of course it's because you look so foolish when I kept you in the dark. It's really funny!"
Tears welled up in Qiu Qianling's eyes, and he trembled as he said, "So, you just wanted to tease me? Then why did you give me the Blood Blade, teach me how to practice, and let me sit on the throne of the Demon Lord!"
Chi Li played with the broken horn in her hand. "Do you want to hear my honest opinion? To the immortal race, you are certainly less of a threat than Fentian. Whether it's modifying the laws or killing Fentian, they are just my means of dealing with the demon race. The former is to squeeze out the value of those women and stir up resentment among humans towards the demons, while the latter is to weaken the demon race's power. So, my good daughter, just wait patiently and become the Lord of the Undead Race."
Qiu Qianling was completely stunned and filled with anger.
So that's how it is, so that's how it is. She thought she had really met someone she could trust and be sincere to.
But the result is still a lie.
Qiu Qianling let out a roar of humiliation, "Ahhhhhhhh! I'm going to kill you!"
He summoned a blood blade in his hand and wanted to chop the person in front of him to death, just like chopping off a nightmare and pretending that nothing had happened.
But the next moment, there were a few puffing sounds, and countless pitch-black bone claws emerged from the ground, tightly grabbing her hands and feet, making her unable to move.
Chi Li smiled. "This is my dream. You're holding my knife, using the knife techniques I taught you, and you still want to kill me. Don't you think that's too ruthless? Give up struggling. You can't defeat me. The demons will never be able to defeat the immortals."
After she finished speaking, a light smoke enveloped her. When the smoke dispersed with the wind, Chi Li had disappeared in front of Qiu Qianling.
The bony hand holding Qiu Qianling retracted into the soil, and the cemetery turned into tiny dots of faint blue starlight, disappearing in front of her.
The next moment, Qiu Qianling suddenly woke up from his dream, realizing what he had just experienced in the dream. He raised his hand and hammered the stone bed hard, roaring in a low voice, "Liar! All of you are liars! Die!"
Shadow Phoenix seemed to have heard the noise, pushed the door open, and asked with concern, "Your Highness the Demon Lord, what happened?"
Qiu Qianling looked at her coldly and said hatefully, "I will kill Xie Yuqing and destroy the immortal race!"
Ying Huang was stunned for a moment, then his expression became serious. "I was just about to report to you about the Immortal Clan. News has come from Yongye that since the laws were changed, many women in Zhongzhou have converted to the Demon Clan. They hope we can send someone to help them."
She paused, then continued, "Also, after the new ruler of Zhongzhou, Liu Dazhong, implemented a new tax order, the people of Zhongzhou were very dissatisfied, and riots were frequent within the realm. There are confirmed reports that in order to smoothly collect spirit stones, Liu Dazhong has decided to convene a Zhongzhou conference in ten days, inviting representatives from all factions to attend and decide whether to continue the tax order."
Qiu Qianling immediately suppressed his emotions and fell into deep thought.
Although Xie Yuqing said that the purpose of modifying the law was to intensify the conflict between humans and demons, judging from the current facts, this law definitely has more benefits than disadvantages for the demons.
But if Liu Dazhong successfully collects a large amount of spirit stones, the strength of the immortal clan will grow rapidly, so they must find a way to stop this conference.
Qiu Qianling was about to speak, but then she remembered that she had just taken over as the Demon Lord, and might not be able to handle such a major matter properly. In addition, Xie Yuqing had dealt her too heavy a blow, and she was so angry that she was bound to make irrational decisions, so she asked Ying Huang for advice.
After careful discussion, they decided to lead two thousand magic warriors to Zhongzhou to meet the new demon sisters and at the same time, disrupt Liu Dazhong's conference plan.

On the other side, Chi Li, who returned to the safe house, was being questioned by Liu Shen'ai.
"You could have continued to hide it from the heroine, so why did you tell her you were Xie Yuqing? Now look, you've messed everything up. The heroine wants to kill you. How can we expect her to help us complete the Lord God mission?"
Liu Shenai chattered for a long time before she realized that the host, who usually hated her talkativeness, actually said nothing and did not stop her from talking.
She suddenly felt a little timid and looked at the host cautiously, "Why don't you refute me?"
Chi Li lowered her eyes quietly and whispered, "Because Qiu Qianling hates being deceived."
