"That's right. Besides, that barbarian king is shrouded in blood and qi. My special elemental power isn't penetrating; it would be detected if I were hundreds or thousands of miles away, making it impossible to get close."
Qin Zhenhai: "..."
"Give me some reaction, Lao Qin. How can I continue if you're not surprised?"
Qin Zhenhai remained expressionless, speaking slowly and deliberately: "Yes, you should have been completely helpless, unable to blow up the Barbarian King. What exactly went wrong?"
You slam your fist down: "Disciple, it's the disciple I took in!"
"I once had a disciple named Xu Ling'er. She was captured by the demon race..."
"Afterwards, I unexpectedly encountered her when the demons erupted and attacked Liukong Tianchi. It's also possible that she sought me out. She had already transformed into a demon, but she still remembered me as her master."
"She told me that she holds an extremely high position in the demon realm, is a future true king, and even a sixth-realm expert. She warned several false kings, forbidding them from attacking me!"
Yun Shou paused for a moment. In fact, Lao Shi had never known that Xu Ling'er had appeared at Liukong Tianchi. His account of the "encounter" was completely fabricated.
But he got it right!
[You fabricated the story of your chance encounter with your former apprentice during the demon raid just to give yourself a plausible excuse for why "the false king wouldn't dare to attack me, Shouyun."]
"Although Xu Ling'er still cares about me, she can't force the demons to retreat for that reason. I can only do my best to take advantage of the fact that the false king won't attack me!"
Yun Shou: "That's not necessarily true... You need to clearly meet her and express that you only want the demons to retreat, otherwise there's no point in living."
"She might actually threaten to kill herself to force the Thorn Demon King to take those demons away!"
After laying the groundwork, you finally revealed your battle plan!
"I'm betting that Xu Ling'er's warning to the False King not to harm me is just because he doesn't realize it's due to the bond between us as master and disciple!"
"So I used my elemental shockwave to tell the Barbarian King—I'm an undercover agent, a traitor!"
[“I told it that while I was delaying Ye Zhizun’s actions and giving them time to rest and recover, I would also transfer the Golden Spirit Computer I stole from Liukong Tianchi—the computer that stores the most confidential internal data offline—to it!”]
"When it goes back, take the data back to the Demon Realm. Make it open its mouth wide and swallow it, storing it in its stomach, the safest place in its mouth!"
"The Barbarian King is the biggest; only it can eat him!"
"The intelligence of barbarian demons has always been low, and the false king is no exception. It believed it on the spot, and its vital energy did not hinder my transfer of the artifact—and then, boom!"
"Actually, there's also Guqi, one of the four major cyber demons. It can secretly take away the Golden Spirit Computer or directly read the data?"
Yun Shou shook his head; this was a loophole.
But Guqi only appeared a few times from beginning to end, and Lao Shi also said: the barbarian demon is not smart.
It's understandable that they wouldn't realize Yun Shi's "fraud".
The plot development felt somewhat forced, but since it happened, it is reality.
That's much more reliable than saying, "I brought its future back."
[That's your explanation to Qin Zhenhai. Basically, although he succeeded, it's impossible for it to happen again!]
Then you repeated this statement to Ye Ranyi.
[Although it's made up, it involves your first layer of identity, something you wouldn't say to anyone else.]
[Furthermore, you have a demon disciple who's secretly passing on information to you... If the envoys from the Supreme Hall find out about this issue of racial bias, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble!]
[He told Ye Ranyi because she was the main force that risked her life to kill the barbarian king.]
[And...she has told you everything about herself. You will not reveal the truth about your instantaneous return to your true form, but you don't mind letting her know about your inner identity.]
"A body with zero energy, and a demonized disciple?" Ye Ranyi was stunned.
[This secret is different from what she thought!]
She thought it was a one-time killing tactic, and even imagined that a mysterious sixth-realm expert from another domain of the Yuantian Realm had possessed you, capable of forcibly taking action at a crucial moment...
The result was a desperate measure, a desperate gamble, to break the deadlock.
[You even revealed your disciple's major weakness to her!]
[Her mind was in turmoil. You had used what could only be described as extreme methods to kill a pseudo-king of the fourth realm, while she had been dragged on for so long and ultimately failed to properly protect the people and guests of Liukong Tianchi...]
[It was her duty to help, and you risked being killed by the false king in his rage to come and assist him, forcibly putting yourself in danger—that's a favor!]
Feelings of guilt are rising.
After she finished asking her questions, you prepared to kick her out.
[You are now blessed with good fortune and abundant martial arts resources. Your mind is solely focused on cultivation and leveling up, and you are no longer tainted by worldly desires.]
"It was an act."
Knowing her personality, you decided to ridicule her and leave.
"Lord Ye, I've explained everything in detail... Can you leave now?"
Ye Ranyi's initial感动 (feeling of being touched) vanished instantly: "Are you trying to kick me out?"
"I'm just being polite," you say with a laugh. "Lord Ye has come to visit my residence at night. The people outside aren't blind. If you don't leave, they'll start to suspect something."
"You're just trying to provoke her into taking the initiative, you scumbag."
Ye Ranyi, a 3,700-year-old single woman, hates it most when people tease her about this.
[Once, during a meeting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he lost his temper and launched a tirade against the entire room.]
I won't go into the specifics of the content.
Yun Shou: "..."
Is this what you call leaving blank space?
In short, those who have become Supreme Beings are at least six or seven hundred years old, even if they are young. That's after they've experienced the baptism of the Holy War. Most of them are two or three thousand years old, or even over three thousand, and very few are still single.
Even if such artifacts existed, they wouldn't be ancient relics that are hundreds or thousands of years old and haven't been blessed.
Basically... everyone was offended by Ye Ranyi's sweeping generalization.
The supreme beings of the human race are one entity; with their destinies intertwined, they rarely become adversaries or even mortal enemies.
However, this doesn't mean that every supreme being is a close, smiling friend.
Anyway, ever since that day, most supreme beings have been avoiding her to some extent: this older single woman is argumentative, if you can't afford to offend her, can't you at least avoid her?
This resulted in... no other supreme beings attending this year's Martial God's Fate competition.
[Faced with Ye Ranyi like this, you should increase your firepower.]
[Given her achievements, and knowing she won't do anything to you anyway, isn't her only option to drive you away?]
"I can't help but laugh when I see such shameless nonsense."
"Humorous Lao Shi is insulting my intelligence again with these nonsensical words."
