Chapter 964: The Flying Immortal Great Emperor Who Sees Through Everything

In the familiar Imperial Study, with the familiar Eunuch Sun present, Su Han did not show any unusual signs and stepped into the study.

This time, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor was not perusing documents; instead, he sat on his chair with eyes closed, resting.

Up close, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s face was pale, devoid of color, as if he had just recovered from a severe illness. Clearly, although he had slain King Chu Jiang and the Dugu Great Emperor during the great battle, he himself paid a substantial price.

Otherwise, with the assistance of the Nangong Great Emperor and the Wheel-Turning King that day, he wouldn’t have let the Chu Family Great Emperor and the Yin Yang Great Emperor escape.

Great Emperors, each of them at the Martial Arts pinnacle, forged through countless trials; how could they be easily slain!

Nevertheless, Su Han did not relax because even if the Flying Immortal Great Emperor was severely injured, he could still kill Su Han effortlessly.

In the face of absolute power, all means appear powerless.

"Nineteenth, is there something you wish to tell me?"

The Flying Immortal Great Emperor remained with his eyes closed, and although his voice was somewhat weak, it still caused unease.

Su Han understood that the Flying Immortal Great Emperor was waiting for him to confess about the demon cultivation matter, and for this, Su Han had already prepared a story.

"Father Emperor, through the memories of the Nineteenth Brother, I learned that he once received the inheritance of a Demon Cultivator Great Emperor, which is why his strength progressed so rapidly, improving by leaps and bounds!"

Su Han did not forget that his current identity, besides being the Nineteenth Prince, included being the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s Demonic Embryo. Hence, he responded in the guise of the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince and fabricated everything flawlessly, leaving no loopholes.

"Nineteenth, do you know why I address you as Nineteenth and not as Crown Prince?"

After quietly listening to Su Han’s explanation, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor finally spoke.

Su Han’s heart skipped a beat, but he quickly controlled his emotions, preventing any sign of flaw.

Nineteenth and Crown Prince, these two titles represent entirely different meanings.

This indicates that the Flying Immortal Great Emperor is already suspicious of Su Han’s demonic embryo identity, which is the greatest crisis!

"Father Emperor, your son is foolish!"

Though somewhat anxious, Su Han’s excellent mental fortitude kept him from showing any signs of flaw.

Swish!

The Flying Immortal Great Emperor suddenly opened his eyes, with a piercing gaze like sharp swords, staring at Su Han as if trying to penetrate his heart and expose him thoroughly.

"Foolish? No, I’ve never seen someone as clever as you!"

His usual mildness was gone, replaced by the demeanor of an unsheathed sword, threatening to cut through Su Han’s disguise and reveal his true self.

At this moment, Su Han felt his hair stand on end as an incredibly intense feeling of crisis emerged from within, making him stiff and cold from head to toe, as though falling into the Nine Serenities Abyss, never to transcend.

Yet, Su Han controlled his emotions, strengthened by the Invincible Tao Xin and Defying Heavenly Demon Will, rendering his will far stronger than ordinary people. Therefore, even under the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s scrutiny, he remained composed and exhibited no flaw.

However, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor continued speaking indifferently:

"You are not the Crown Prince’s demonic embryo, nor even my Nineteenth Prince; you are an impostor taking the place of another!"

"If I guess correctly, you killed my Nineteenth Prince in Fine Copper City, then took his place, participated in the Sword Discourse at Mount Hua, and fought your way back to the Imperial Capital."

"Regarding the Crown Prince issue, you likely deceived him into believing you’ve become his demonic embryo, but you are not a Sword Cultivator; you are a genuine Demon Cultivator!"

Each word from the Flying Immortal Great Emperor pierced from his mouth, causing Su Han’s heart to sink, realizing that the emperor had uncovered much of the truth, indicating a long-standing suspicion with secret investigations against Su Han.

The only error might be regarding the relationship with the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince, not deception, but occupation.

The consciousness of the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince was already dead, nearly invaded completely by Su Han. If the Flying Immortal Great Emperor knew this, his attitude might become even more dreadful.

"Although I do not know your true identity, you likely aren’t a spy sent by other forces, for no real spy would be so overt."

"From the Sword Discourse at Mount Hua, Sword Dao Conference, to eradicating King Yama’s Palace outposts, even visiting the Ancient Liu Family and Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land, and this life-and-death bout with Zhong Kui Imperial Son, your innate talent and strength have been extraordinary. No force would be foolish enough to use someone with your remarkable talent as a spy."

"Hence, you probably have no background or origin, merely utilizing the Nineteenth Prince’s identity to climb the Heavenly Sword Dynasty’s high branch, even using me as your shield to achieve your growth."

The Flying Immortal Great Emperor continued, his gaze firmly locked onto Su Han’s eyes. Despite Su Han’s good disguise, with his thoughts seen through, his heart sank.

Nonetheless, his disguise was so exquisite that even now, he showed no flaw.

"Do you know when I started suspecting you?"

The Flying Immortal Great Emperor continued unhurriedly, clearly aiming to break Su Han’s psychological defense.

"From the moment you returned from the Heavenly Medicine Blessed Land, when I learned you were the Black Demon!"

"The Demonic Embryo Parasitism Technique may taint one with demonic nature, but it certainly wouldn’t transform someone into a powerful Demon Cultivator, especially since the Heavenly Sword Dynasty roots in Swordsmanship, never having produced a Demon Cultivator in history!"

"This time, you demonstrated astonishing demon cultivation techniques at the Great Name Lake, even surpassing sword skills, affirming my suspicions."

"Whether you admit or not, in my mind, you are exposed!"

Every word from the Flying Immortal Great Emperor like sharp blades pierced Su Han’s body, rendering him cold and riddled with wounds.

The worst scenario had occurred!

And it was worse than being discovered by the Mysterious Great Sword Saint because he couldn’t resist; even with full force, he couldn’t withstand the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s sword.

The only good news was the Heavenly Sword Crown Prince’s matter hadn’t been exposed. Even if this body perished, there still remained the Crown Prince’s Soul Seed, allowing continuation under his identity.

Only now, all previous efforts were in vain, nothing remaining.

"Your Majesty’s means are impressive, so there’s nothing left for me to say. Do as you please!"

Facing the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s gaze, Su Han calmed himself and answered.

Since the Flying Immortal Great Emperor had uncovered everything and already suspected him, any further guise or struggle would only delay the inevitable severance and death by the sword.

Upon hearing Su Han’s words, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor smiled slightly, with the corners of his mouth lifting in a faint smile.

Then, the Flying Immortal Great Emperor’s words once again shocked Su Han:

"Don’t worry, I don’t intend to kill you!"
