Chapter 1001: Scheming Against Each Other, Teaming Up to Slap Faces

Ming Yue was stunned by the slap from Liuli.

She looked coldly at Liuli and asked:

"Master, why did you hit me?"

Slap!

Liuli slapped Ming Yue again, scolding:

"How dare you talk back, quickly apologize to Lord Ximen, hurry!"

"Why should I?" Ming Yue said angrily, "What kind of dog is Lord Ximen, he’s just Qin Qing’s lapdog. You three Great Demon Venerables can crush him easily, could it be that you’re afraid of Qin Qing?"

"You..."

Liuli, nearly enraged to the point of bleeding, couldn’t continue reprimanding Ming Yue. Awkwardly, she turned to Ye Xiu and said:

"Lord Ximen, my disciple Ming Yue is still young and doesn’t understand; please don’t hold it against her."

Ye Xiu’s expression became playful as he said:

"Liuli, I understand Ming Yue better than you do."

Liuli: "???"

Chi Ming Demon Venerable: "???"

Jiu You Old Demon: "???"

Seeing the confusion on their faces, Lin Lei, who was having his totem absorbed by Ye Xiu, grinned and said:

"Liuli, sixteen years ago, it was Ming Yue who orchestrated the accident that killed Ye Xiu’s mother and grandparents. Ye Xiu and Ming Yue practically grew up together, so of course, he knows her better than you do."

This...

Liuli, Chi Ming Demon Venerable, and Jiu You Old Demon quickly turned their heads to look at Ming Yue.

Liuli asked in shock: "Ming Yue, is that true?"

When she took Ming Yue as a disciple, Ming Yue had said she lived on Demon Island since childhood, and this was her first time leaving Demon Island with them and the Demon Clan army.

"Master, don’t listen to his nonsense; he’s trying to drive a wedge between us," Ming Yue said.

"Hah, whether I’m trying that or not, Liuli, ask Ye Xiu yourself," Lin Lei said.

Ming Yue laughed: "Ye Xiu that bastard has long been dead; who do you want Master to ask..."

Slap!

Liuli slapped Ming Yue’s mouth, awkwardly asked Ye Xiu:

"Mr. Ye, my disciple was imprisoned in Lonely Cloud City for a month, maybe hunger drove her mad, and she’s spouting nonsense. Please, haha, don’t hold it against her..."

Mr. Ye?

Hearing Liuli’s address for Lord Ximen.

Ming Yue blankly asked, "Master, what did you call him?"

"Lord Ximen is Ye Xiu," Liuli said.

Crash!

Ming Yue felt like a bolt of thunder struck her head, making it buzz constantly.

Lord Ximen.

Is Ye Xiu?

Ye Xiu didn’t die?

"You..."

Ming Yue’s eyes widened like light bulbs, looking at Ye Xiu in disbelief and asked:

"You, are you really Ye Xiu?"

Ye Xiu didn’t answer, took a deep breath, and slowly changed his facial features, reverting to his appearance in moments.

Since the AI already knew he wasn’t dead, there was no need for him to keep using the pseudonym Lord Ximen.

It’s time to display his face that dazzles all the women in the world!

"You... ah..."

Seeing the familiar face of Ye Xiu, Ming Yue screamed in fright, retreating several steps before sitting on the ground.

All this time, she thought Ye Xiu was dead, thought she was finally free from Ye Xiu’s shadow.

How happy she was!

But Ye Xiu wasn’t dead!

"Ming Yue, it seems everything you said when you became my disciple was made up, wasn’t it?" Liuli asked coldly.

Ming Yue suddenly scrambled up, clutching Liuli’s leg, pleading in panic:

"Master, Master, help me. I’ve realized my mistakes, but if I’d told the truth back then, you wouldn’t have taken me as your disciple. I made up my past just to become your disciple, please save me..."

Seeing Ming Yue so terrified and begging for her help, and since Ming Yue’s words made sense, Liuli softened.

She genuinely liked this disciple and intended to train Ming Yue as her successor.

Primarily because Ming Yue taught the Gluttonous Demon Technique to her, Chi Ming Demon Venerable, and Jiu You Old Demon, she owed Ming Yue.

"Mr. Ye, Ming Yue did wrong by you in the past, but she knows her faults now. For my sake, please spare her life."

Liuli pleaded earnestly for Ming Yue.

"I don’t owe you anything, and you Three Great Demon Venerables owe me a life," Ye Xiu said coldly.

Liuli frowned: "Mr. Ye, are you saying that no matter what, you’ll kill Ming Yue today?"

"No one can stop me!" Ye Xiu said.

Liuli’s expression turned ugly, and she said coldly:

"Ye Xiu, I might as well tell you now. We Three Great Demon Venerables and the Demon Clan elite, have been on Demon Island because we’re in seclusion cultivating the Gluttonous Demon Technique. Just yesterday, we mastered it. Once our true bodies lead the Demon Clan elite here, how many days do you think your people can hold out?"

Oh?

The Demon Clan could cultivate the Gluttonous Demon Technique?

This took Ye Xiu by surprise, he said:

"Contact your true bodies now, have them lead the Demon Clan elite here. As long as they arrive, I will spare Ming Yue."

"Is this true?" Liuli asked.

"My word is my bond," Ye Xiu said.

"Alright!"

Liuli, Chi Ming Demon Venerable, and Jiu You Old Demon exchanged glances, then immediately used their primordial spirits to contact their true bodies.

A moment later, Liuli said: "The Demon Clan elite is already gathered, so in less than three hours, they’ll be here."

"Good, I’ll be waiting!"

Ye Xiu stopped paying attention to Liuli and focused on absorbing the totems from Lin Lei and Xuan Zheng.

Meanwhile, Liuli, Chi Ming Demon Venerable, and Jiu You Old Demon were using secret techniques to communicate silently.

Chi Ming Demon Venerable said: "Our true bodies have mastered the Gluttonous Demon Technique, and can single-handedly defeat Ye Xiu. If the three of us join forces, killing Ye Xiu won’t be challenging."

Jiu You Old Demon said: "I agree. Ye Xiu poses too great a threat; we might as well seize this opportunity to kill him and take his Dragon God Totem."

Liuli said: "Alright, let’s do it!"

The corners of their mouths lifted into barely noticeable smirks, and as they looked at Ye Xiu again, it was as if they were looking at a dead man.

Meanwhile, Ming Yue was also plotting in her mind, thinking about how to incite the Demon Clan elite to gang up on and kill Ye Xiu once they arrived.

"Done!"

Fifteen minutes later, Ye Xiu finally finished absorbing the Eighth Realm Totems from Lin Lei and Xuan Zheng, unexpectedly obtaining four Eighth Realm Totems—a delightful surprise.

"Lin Lei, I promised not to kill you, go and fend for yourself!"

Ye Xiu struck Lin Lei’s dantian, saying.

Spurt!

Lin Lei spat a mouthful of blood, too concerned with the loss of his cultivation and totem to dwell on his anger or sadness. He got up and fled.

He feared Ye Xiu might regret his decision!

"Gentlemen, where’s the Demon Clan elite army?"

Ye Xiu asked with amusement, looking at the Three Great Demon Venerables.

"They just reached the entrance of the underground passage on Demon Island; rest assured, you’ll see them soon..."

Liuli said with a wicked grin, only to have that grin freeze as her face turned progressively grim.

The same happened with Chi Ming Demon Venerable and Jiu You Old Demon.

The three stared at Ye Xiu in shock, and Liuli asked:

"Why has the exit of the underground passage on Demon Island been sealed by a formation?"

"I did it!"

Ye Xiu candidly admitted, saying:

"I had the exit of the underground passage on Demon Island sealed, and also reinforced the formation trapping Demon Island."
