I am just a mortal, why do you all worship me as a saint?

Chapter 180: Bring Su Jinxi Back

The Demon King murmured, slowly withdrawing his oppressive aura. Su Luo and Mu Gu also broke free from that terrifying pressure, but they were soaking wet, pale-faced, and almost unable to stand.

Being subjected to soul-searching is an unforgettable experience.

It felt as if a needle had pierced their mind, stirring it wildly. The more the other person saw, the more their mind would scream in agony. And all of this happened while they were conscious.

Su Luo and Mu Gu clearly sensed that the Demon Emperor had seen everything he wanted to see!

Soul searching naturally has both gentle and violent variations.

If it were a violent soul search, both of them would have gone completely insane by now.

But the Demon King wasn't so ruthless as to destroy two useful combatants like that, so he adopted a slightly gentler approach... but it was still terrifying enough.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Su Luo and Mu Gu knelt on the ground, trembling, their voices hoarse.

The Demon King's voice carried a hint of mockery as his silver eyes fixed on Su Luo: "What a good brother you are, helping your cousin cover up her whereabouts, trying to deceive this emperor?"

"Or do you think I'm so easily deceived?"

The power of the Demon Emperor was evident even in such simple words.

Su Luo didn't even dare to raise her head.

This is a crime of deceiving the emperor.

Su Jinxi, a powerful demon at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, recognized a human as her master, and the Demon King still found out about this...

Moreover, Su Luo and Mu Gu were still trying to keep it a secret for her. Although they couldn't see the Demon Emperor's expression, they could guess from his questioning that he was extremely angry, and the result of that anger would be very severe, possibly even killing them.

"Your Majesty, we..."

"Shut up."

Mu Gu, who was about to say something, immediately fell silent.

"A dignified elder of a clan, actually treating a human of unknown origin and unclear cultivation level as a pet!"

"Has Su Jinxi's brain been struck by lightning?"

In his cold rage, the Demon Emperor unleashed his oppressive aura, causing even the palace to tremble.

He hadn't expected it. He thought the two guys were hiding something big, but after searching their souls, he found that it wasn't such a big deal.

But it's so embarrassing! And it's not just Su Jinxi who's embarrassed!

Even though the demon race is now in decline, with its living space being only one-tenth that of humans, how many years has it been since a demon in the Tribulation Transcending stage was taken as a pet by humans?

Moreover, he has been on the throne for over five thousand years, and the demon realm has now experienced a revival. Which of the demon races is not full of high spirits?

The results of it?

And that's how she ended up doing this?

"His Majesty……"

Su Luo swallowed hard: "Your subordinate is willing to die to atone for my sins, but I beg Your Majesty the Demon Emperor to show leniency to Su Jinxi."

"I haven't even said what I want, and you're already pleading for mercy? Use your cleverness somewhere else."

The Demon Emperor glanced at them indifferently: "I am not the kind of person who kills indiscriminately, but... you will be spared the death penalty, but you will not escape punishment. You two should go to the 'Prison of Ten Thousand Insects' to reflect on your actions." "Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Majesty."

Su Luo and Mu Gu quickly and respectfully thanked them.

Although they were terrified when they heard about the Prison of Ten Thousand Insects, after all, this prison, which was specifically for punishing demons, was feared by countless demons.

Fortunately, the Demon King did not kill them outright.

Then, two binding forces landed directly on them, and their cultivation at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm was forcibly locked, unable to exert any of its power.

Soon, four black-robed elders came out and took Su Luo and Mu Gu away.

Soon, the vast palace was empty, leaving only the Demon King sitting on his high throne. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly uttered, "That human seems somewhat...ordinary?"

He saw Gu Heng.

However, the Demon King felt nothing for him.

You can't tell what's real or fake, you can't tell their cultivation level, you can't tell anything at all.

He is at the sixth level of the Supreme Saint realm!

The demon race is the strongest!

Among humans, there are very few who can rival him, but this person is so strong that even he cannot see through his true cultivation level...

However, the highest realm in the world is only the tenth level of the Saintly Realm. Above that is the "Ascension to Immortality" stage, which was already untouchable during the Primordial Void Era.

Even if a Saint at the tenth level stood in front of him, the Demon King would absolutely not be unable to see through the illusion!

Could it be that guy has already stepped onto the "ascension to immortality" and is pursuing the "realm of immortals" from the primordial era?

That's impossible! So... the Demon Emperor had a conclusion that he was absolutely convinced of.

That human.

What secret treasure does he possess that blocks any aura that might reveal the extent of his cultivation?

This is the only reasonable explanation!

Some secret treasures, passed down from ancient times, have effects that even super strong experts at the Saint level cannot fathom.

That human was probably lucky, or it was something passed down in the family, but magical artifacts that can block auras are extremely rare. The Demon King really couldn't understand how Su Jinxi, who was a smart demon, could have become a pet in such a muddle.

"Hmm...we need to get to the bottom of this."

The Demon King had no intention of killing Su Jinxi.

The Demon Realm is in dire need of talent right now; how can we just kill them off like that?

But no matter what, we can't let her stay in that dilapidated little town any longer, with some pretentious human!

But if that's the case, then the true level of human cultivation is probably worth discussing.

The Demon King guessed that he was most likely just a hermit in the Mahayana stage!

That being the case...

"Yun Ke Demon Lord".

The Demon Emperor murmured indifferently.

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold wind swept through the palace, and the shadow of a giant falcon could be vaguely seen coming with the wind. Then, a thin figure appeared in the back hall.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

The Cloud Falcon Demon Lord bowed silently.

The Demon King looked at him, a faint chill flashing in his eyes.

His four demon lords, each possessing the cultivation level of the Mahayana stage, and obeying only his orders, were perfectly suited to be sent out to do this kind of work.

"I have something to tell you..."

“Go to Yunling City of the Sun Flame Dynasty and bring Su Jinxi back.”

A hint of doubt flickered across the cold, hard face of the Cloud Falcon Demon Lord.

"...What kind of desolate place is that?"
