"Humph, asking me to betray the immortal world and join the demon clan is simply a pipe dream! I, Ye Chen, am a person of the immortal world in life and a ghost of the immortal world in death. I will never go along with the demon clan!"
Ye Chen snorted coldly and shook the sword in his hand, showing his firm stance.
Mo Ji didn't seem surprised by Ye Chen's answer. She smiled and said, "Since you are so determined, how about we talk about cooperation?"
"The laws of this core area are violent. I can't enter alone."
“So, I want to work with you.”
Moji stated her purpose bluntly.
The reason why she guided Ye Chen and others here was to cooperate with him, and inviting them to join the demon clan was just a test.
The demon clan received accurate information that the core area was a cave of gods and demons, and that there was a treasure inside that was very important to their clan.
Only a genius from the demon race with extraordinary talent can enter by cooperating with a genius from the human race with equally extraordinary talent.
"cooperate?"
Ye Chen sneered, "The immortals and the devils cannot coexist. The only way is to fight to the death. How can there be any cooperation?"
"Besides, if I want to get in, why should I cooperate with others?"
Ye Chen's tone was full of disdain. Although their cultivation was not as good as others, it was impossible for them to cooperate with the murderous demons.
“Bold!”
Mo Yan took a step forward and shouted angrily, "Our young master is the number one prodigy of the demon clan. He has already reached the celestial realm before he is a thousand years old. It is your honor to invite you to cooperate!"
"How dare you refuse?"
There was a fierce light in Mo Yan's eyes, and a powerful demonic energy was pressing down on him.
Ye Chen sneered, his face showing even more disdain.
Those who are less than a thousand years old in the celestial realm are indeed monstrous geniuses, but he and Luo Qingcheng became immortals in their twenties.
Ye Chen believed that it would be easy for them to reach the celestial immortal realm after a thousand years.
Mo Ji gave Mo Yan a warning look. Mo Yan immediately lowered his head and took two steps back, not daring to say anything more.
"Ye Chen, you are prejudiced against the demons."
Moji turned to look at Ye Chen with a calm tone.
"The demons are also human, but their cultivation system is different."
Ye Chen was slightly stunned by Mo Ji's words. She was right. The demons were indeed human.
However, the demons are brutal. How many geniuses from the immortal world have they killed in this secret realm?
"You're right, the demons are also human." Ye Chen did not refute.
"But the demons are brutal and cultivate by sucking the blood of humans. And how many geniuses of the immortal world have you killed in this secret realm?"
Ye Chen's voice was cold, with a hint of questioning.
Mo Ji's eyes were sharp and she glared at Mo Yan with dissatisfaction, as if saying: What bad things have you done!
Mo Yan didn't dare to look at Mo Ji and could only lower his head.
Moji turned to look at Ye Chen, her tone softening.
"Ye Chen, my demon clan does have demon cultivators who absorb the essence and blood of humans to cultivate, but they are only a very small number, and we have been restraining them."
The demon princess' voice was clear and pleasant, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.
"As for the genius of the Immortal Spirit Cave Heaven..."
Moji paused, a hint of apology flashing in her eyes.
"I'm deeply sorry for their death; it was not my intention."
Her eyes were sincere, and she seemed to be truly feeling sorry for the deceased geniuses in the immortal world.
"I hope you can put aside your hatred and cooperate with me."
The Demon Princess stretched out her delicate hand and pointed to the core area.
"I only want one thing in there, the rest is yours."
Her tone was full of temptation, as if she was painting a beautiful future.
Ye Chen was furious and clenched his fists.
"Let go of hatred? Cooperate?"
He laughed in anger, his voice icy cold.
"So many of the immortal world's most talented people have died tragically, and such deep hatred and resentment, how can you just write it off with a simple 'it wasn't my intention'?"
Ye Chen's fighting spirit erupted like a volcano, and the sword in his hand hummed.
Luo Qingcheng and others behind him also drew their weapons and glared at Mo Ji and Mo Yan.
The atmosphere is tense and a war is about to break out.
However, neither side acted rashly.
The strength gap between Ye Chen's side and his was too great, so a head-on fight would undoubtedly be like hitting a rock with an egg.
Moji also didn't want to give up the opportunity to cooperate.
The things in the core area are of vital importance to her, and she firmly believes that only by cooperating with Ye Chen can she enter it.
Time seemed to stand still, and the air was filled with tension.
Ye Chen stared at Mo Ji intently, his eyes burning with rage.
The hatred in his heart was like a huge wave, almost swallowing him up.
But he knew that now was not the time to act impulsively.
He must remain calm and find a way to have the best of both worlds.
It can not only avenge the hatred, but also protect the safety of Luo Qingcheng and others.
Mo Ji was also observing Ye Chen. She could feel the strong fighting spirit in Ye Chen.
But she was not afraid, instead she admired Ye Chen even more.
She believed that talents like Ye Chen would eventually choose to cooperate with her.
Because only cooperation can lead to win-win results.
"Ye Chen,"
Moji spoke again, her tone more sincere, "I know you have hatred in your heart, but when will the cycle of revenge end?"
"How about we put aside our prejudices, work together, and explore the mysteries of this secret realm together?"
She extended an enticing olive branch and waited for Ye Chen's response.
Ye Chen remained silent. He knew that what Mo Ji said was not unreasonable.
But it was hard for him to accept letting go of his hatred and cooperating with the demons who killed his compatriots.
"Ye Chen, how about we fight at the same level? I will suppress my level to the same level as you."
Seeing Ye Chen silent, Mo Ji opened her red lips and made a surprising proposal.
"If you lose, you will cooperate with me and enter the core area."
"If you win..."
Moji paused, a sly look flashing in her beautiful eyes, "I'll leave it to you."
Mo Yan was horrified and stepped forward quickly: "Young Master, you absolutely cannot do this!"
He knew very well how powerful Ye Chen was. If the young master fought with someone of the same realm, he might not be completely confident.
Moreover, if their young master loses, he will be at Ye Chen's disposal. He understands Mo Ji and knows that she is a man of her words.
The Demon Princess glared with her phoenix eyes, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the Demon Flame.
"Back off! You have no right to speak here!"
Mo Yan trembled all over and dared not say anything more. He could only retreat to the side in disappointment.
Mo Ji turned her gaze to Ye Chen again, full of confidence: "I know you are extremely talented, but I am confident that I can defeat you."
The fighting spirit in Ye Chen's eyes burned fiercely, and his anger almost swallowed him up.
"Okay, I can fight you, but you don't have to suppress your cultivation!"
He tightly grasped the Jinghong Sword in his hand and said in a deep voice.
For the safety of Luo Qingcheng and others, he had to agree.
Mo Yan is at the Xuanxian realm. If a full-scale confrontation breaks out, Ye Chen and the others will definitely not be able to escape unscathed.
But he has his own pride. He is just a celestial fairyland and does not need to suppress his cultivation.
Lin Shuo frowned and tried to dissuade him: "Junior brother, no! The demons are full of tricks, don't trust them!"
Su Chen also echoed: "Yes, Junior Brother, think twice before you act!"
