"No, no." The Emperor shook his head.
He looked down at the vast sky, a fierce glint in his eyes, "What I want is to annihilate all humans and demons in the world! And then, carrying the seed of half-human, half-demon, I will create a brand new world!"
Wan Cangqiong was taken aback, but immediately praised, "Your Majesty's ambition is truly remarkable! I admire it greatly!"
"You hate this world now, don't you?" The Human Emperor lowered his head and glanced at Wan Cangqiong.
Wan Cangqiong nodded emphatically, "If it weren't for our lack of strength, I would have already launched a war between the two worlds, just like Your Majesty!"
"Yes, I also see hatred for this world in your memories. Now that you have submitted to me, I will certainly grant you this wish." The Emperor nodded.
He then said in a deep voice, "But how difficult it is to achieve this! With my strength, I should be invincible, but Su Nian, who appeared out of nowhere, disrupted my plans. Therefore... to fulfill our great ambition, this Su Nian must die!"
Wan Cangqiong hesitated and said, "But... Su Nian is now a half-step True Immortal, how can we kill him?"
The Human Emperor said calmly, "A few days ago, the Second Elder of Quanxiu sent me something called the Immortal Ancestor Token. It contains a part of Su Nian's remnant soul. As long as I hold this treasure, Su Nian will be like a puppet in my palm! He will die with the slightest touch!"
Wan Cangqiong hesitated and said, "Could there be a trick behind the things that Elder Quanxiu gave you?"
"That's what I was thinking too, so I need you here as my undercover agent. I'll give you three days to verify the authenticity of the Immortal Ancestor Token!" The Human Emperor looked at Wan Cangqiong and said sternly, "This matter is of utmost importance. Within three days, I don't care what methods you use, you must find out the truth of this matter! Report back to me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wan Cangqiong said emphatically, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
The Emperor nodded in satisfaction.
He glanced up at the sky and said calmly, "Alright, I should head back soon. This place is, after all, demon territory, and it's hard to guarantee that Su Nian won't investigate. You must remember the importance of this mission!"
"Understood!"
The Emperor nodded, then transformed into a gust of wind and vanished without a trace.
Wan Cangqiong stood there, maintaining the gesture of clasped hands, for a very long time...
Finally, after who knows how long.
A smile appeared on his lips.
Su Nian emerged from the shadows, leading Mo Rouyun, Si Qiushan, Qian Shudie, Qian Taotao, and the other eight clan leaders besides the Illusion Demon Clan, clapping as they walked.
"As expected of the patriarch of the Illusion Demon Clan, his acting skills are flawless."
"Wan Cangqiong" smiled, then reached out and touched his cheek. The face of "Wan Cangqiong" disappeared instantly, replaced by the face of Qian Muyu.
Qian Muyu smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the help of the Lord, Immortal Venerable Rouyun, and Miss Si, which allowed me to put on this perfect show."
"You're too modest, Clan Chief Qian." Su Nian smiled, crossed her arms, and said with amusement, "But now... this wary old fox is finally convinced that the Immortal Ancestor Token was used against me, and... most importantly..."
A smile appeared on Su Nian's lips.
"He finally spoke his true thoughts."
