I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

Li Xiaoluo was worried because her senior brother Li hadn't returned yet, so she mustered up her courage and entered the underwater dragon palace.

What a coincidence, I just witnessed what happened.

In her heart, Senior Brother Li was naturally gentle and refined, and otherworldly.

Now, they are brutal, vicious, and their true colors are fully revealed.

"Li, Senior Brother Li, are you being controlled by something?"

Thinking of the various rumors surrounding the forbidden zone of life, Li Xiaoluo held onto a sliver of hope.

Li Yingyi was momentarily panicked, but quickly regained his composure and looked at Jue Wuchen beside him.

"Brother Li is as good as ever. Don't worry, I'll play the villain."

Jue Wuchen understood immediately and quickly approached Li Xiaoluo. However, he held back some of the power in his Ice and Fire Poison Palm, only managing to send Li Xiaoluo flying without taking her life.

"Senior Brother Li!"

Li Xiaoluo's last hope was shattered, and she was heartbroken. The damage from the poisonous palm was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

Immediately, overwhelming hatred transformed into rage, propelling her to run away.

"Brother Li, rest assured, she is poisoned and there is no way to save her," Jue Wuchen sneered.

Li Yingyi snorted coldly, knowing that Jue Wuchen had deliberately let Li Xiaoluo go.

The goal is to expose his true colors, leaving him with no place among the disciples of other sects.

Naturally, he wouldn't use the Dragon Balls to bring out the sect's disciples.

Did you think I'd take you out like this? Just wait! Li Yingyi's killing intent was palpable; he wanted to kill everyone outside.

Li Xiaoluo ran back to the treasure room, and when the sect disciples saw her miserable state, they swarmed around her.

"Ice and Fire Poison Palm! It was Jue Wuchen who made the move?!"

"How is Senior Brother Li?"

"What about the rest?!"

Faced with the cacophony of voices, Li Xiaoluo gritted her teeth and said, "Li Yingyi and Jue Wuchen joined forces to kill others."

As she finished speaking, a mouthful of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. The Ice-Fire Poison was taking effect, and her life force was rapidly draining away.

"what?!"

Not to mention the sect disciples, even the group of demonic cultivators on the other side were greatly shocked.

Li Yingyi is a model disciple of the sect, yet he actually joined forces with the Demonic Sect. What treasure did he obtain inside?!

As for the demonic cultivators on their side who were killed by Jue Wuchen, they didn't care at all.

In their eyes, Jue Wuchen was not a good person.

It didn't seem like Li Yingyi, but the sect disciples still didn't believe it, thinking that Li Xiaoluo was talking nonsense.

Who is Li Yingyi? A gentleman as refined as jade, unparalleled in the world!

As a result, Li Yingyi and Jue Wuchen walked out one after the other.

Li Yingyi's true colors were revealed, and he was filled with murderous intent.

On the contrary, Jue Wuchen had a grin on his face, looking like he was enjoying the show.

"Senior Brother Li..."

The sect disciples were terrified. If these two joined forces, the balance between the two sides would be completely broken, and they would be powerless to resist.

"You only have yourself to blame for listening to her," Li Yingyi said coldly.

For some reason, he felt an unprecedented sense of pleasure when he said these words.

This is the real me!

More than ten sect disciples turned pale. Some tried to escape, but the gate was tightly closed and covered with layers of restrictions.

Bang!

As luck would have it, a loud crash came from outside the door, as if a huge object had struck it.

This reminded everyone of their current predicament, and even Li Yingyi restrained his murderous intent.

Bang! !

Another loud bang, and the layers of restrictions shattered, revealing a crack in the door.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, a person wearing a bronze mask walked in.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jue Wuchen's smile froze, and he turned to run. However, what lay behind him was no longer the underwater dragon palace, but a sealed treasure room.

"So many people?! What's going on here?"

It was Shen Ming who arrived.

"Senior brother, save me!!!"

The sect disciples reacted quickly; they had heard that a masked Xuantian Sect disciple had defeated the Five Demon Lords.

With this senior brother around, the combat strength can be kept balanced.

Ignoring the demonic cultivators, Shen Ming approached the sect disciples.

Seeing that Li Xiaoluo was poisoned, he took out the Shangqing Jade Gourd and poured a few mouthfuls into his mouth.

It must be said that this Qingxu wine can indeed cure the ten deadly poisons.

Li Xiaoluo had already fainted, but now that she has woken up again, she still looks somewhat dazed.

"What happened?" Shen Ming asked.

Before Li Xiaoluo could speak, Jue Wuchen and Li Ying burst into laughter.

Li Ying smiled because Shen Ming used the Shangqing Jade Gourd to detoxify, which meant that he must have drunk Qingxu Wine.

He also detected the poison of the Ice and Fire Deadly Poison on Shen Ming.

Although it was very slight, it was indeed there, meaning that the twin calamity had already formed in Shen Ming's body.

Jue Wuchen laughed loudly because he saw a beautiful woman in palace attire walk in.

The Thirteen Swords of the Wusheng Sword Sect are as swift as the wind!

Supreme Realm expert!

He knew that the Wusheng Sword Sect had used the Blood Sword, and he believed that Kuai Rufeng had chased them here.

"Senior, he is the one who killed Yan Wuxin, he is..."

Before Jue Wuchen could finish speaking, he found that he couldn't make a sound and his speech was slurred.

Just now, a flying sword slashed his mouth.

“What Yan Wuxin? I don’t know him. He’s a demonic cultivator, and everyone should kill him!” Zhou Lingyun said.

what? !

Jue Wuchen carefully examined Zhou Lingyun's face to make sure he hadn't mistaken her for someone else.

This is the speed of the Wusheng Sword Sect!

He dared not continue with that sword strike.

Zhou Lingyun retrieved her flying sword, nodded slightly to Shen Ming, and tried her best to appear as a righteous person.

She followed Shen Ming all the way and found that he treated the forbidden zone of life like home, with no taboos.

“Shen Ming, no, take off your mask,” Li Yingyi said.

"Senior Brother Li, what are you doing? Have you gone mad from your cultivation?"

Shen Ming removed his bronze mask, a look of confusion on his face, not quite understanding the situation.

So young?

Jue Wuchen was greatly surprised when he saw this face, thinking that Shen Ming was the same age as him.

"The Xuan Emperor?!"

A disciple of the Xuantian Sect recognized him at a glance.

"Is he the Xuan Tianzi?"

Since her brother's death, Jiao Qing, who had been in a daze, only realized that the person who had accompanied her at the beginning was Xuan Tianzi!

"He's not just the Xuan Tianzi! Right, Jiang Ming!"

Li Yingyi's face was full of fervor, and he was extremely excited.

"Oh? How did Senior Brother Li know this name?" Shen Ming asked, puzzled.

"Hahaha! You really are! You really are!!!"

Upon hearing him admit it himself, Li Ying burst into laughter.

"What's so hard about admitting this? Senior Brother Li went to all this trouble, you wouldn't happen to just want to know who I am, would you?" Shen Ming was still a bit out of it.

"Otherwise, shall I ask you directly?" Li Yingyi said coldly.

“Of course, I’ll definitely tell you if you ask,” Shen Ming said.

If the other party directly asks him if he is Jiang Ming, it means they know about the Jiang family's heir, and there's nothing to deny about that.

"..."

Li Yingyi found it hard to accept and thought it was nonsense.

He grinned maliciously, slashed his right fingertip, and muttered incantations. The blood transformed into countless blood threads, forming a rune in his palm.

"The calamity of twins, the disaster reversed!"

He raised his longsword, aiming it at his palm.

He wanted to use his actions to make Shen Ming understand his current situation.

He was afflicted with the curse of twins, and the fates of the two were intertwined. No matter what harm he suffered, it could be transferred to Shen Ming!

Li Yingyi pierced his own palm with a sharp sword.

According to the calamity of twins, blood will bloom from Shen Ming's palm, and a wound will appear.

Ah!

The next second, a shrill scream echoed throughout the entire treasure room.
