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

Outside, Bai Ziyang, Xiao Yun, and Su Su were filled with unease.

Bai Ziyang was eager and enthusiastic, Xiao Yun was indifferent, and Su Su looked conflicted.

Logically speaking, there should be no exceptions.

Shen Ming would soon suffer the same fate as them, but at this moment, they realized something was wrong.

It shouldn't take three supreme experts from the Divine Path to deal with cultivators from the Human Path!

Suddenly, something unexpected happened.

The Fire Thieves on the Trial Path scattered in all directions, as if they had sensed something terrifying.

The three looked at each other, their hearts pounding with anxiety.

They have the demonic fire imprint planted by Chi Yan in their souls; once activated, there is no way to reverse the situation.

This spell can only be dispelled by killing Crimson Flame, and the difficulty lies in preventing Crimson Flame from triggering before killing it.

So they lived in constant fear, worried that they might die at any moment.

At this moment, Shen Ming emerged from the canyon, his sword still dripping blood.

The presence of Chi Yan and his companions could no longer be detected in the canyon.

"real or fake……"

They confirmed again and again that Shen Ming was indeed at the Divine Fire Realm, only his divine fire was more vigorous.

But it is clear that there is definitely a powerful protector.

"Brother Dao! We were forced to do this, and we absolutely had no intention of harming anyone!"

Bai Ziyang reacted quickly, and as he had planned, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the other two followed suit.

Ok?

Shen Ming was confused; he simply thought it was the end of a battle.

After all, it's normal to compete with others on the path of trials, so I don't understand why these three are kneeling.

After asking Jian Li, he activated his sensory consciousness.

The three were already terrified and confessed without being asked, telling the whole story.

He also told Shen Ming that Chi Yan was a powerful figure in the realm of gods.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ming frowned. A divine domain? No, that's not right, they're all quite ordinary!

Within the sword's world, Jian Li felt a sense of suffocation, for as a spiritual being, she herself did not need to breathe.

Now, it's as if an invisible hand is gripping it tightly, ready to crush it at any moment.

"This trial has a natural restriction formed by the moon, limiting cultivation levels. I don't know why their previous methods failed," Shen Ming muttered to himself, considering this possibility.

That's why Jian Li told him that it was just an ordinary Divine Fire Realm cultivator.

After all, Blade & Soul wouldn't lie to itself.

The next second, Jian Li breathed a sigh of relief, and the ripples in the world within the sword quickly returned to calm.

"Everything has a price, and if it goes beyond what is reasonable, the speaker is the one who pays the price."

Jian Li noted this down.

Thinking about it this way, Jian Li was quite lucky earlier, deceiving Shen Ming by saying that the Eye of Truth could verify nothingness.

The Eye of Truth happens to have a similar effect.

"If it's a deliberate lie, not only must Shen Ming believe it, but it must also conform to the logic of the Heavenly Dao." Jian Li kept pondering.

Shen Ming coldly stared at the three people in front of him.

The moon is indeed extremely dangerous, mainly because I lowered my guard because the other party was a cultivator from Butianzhou.

Come to think of it, Butianzhou is vast and boundless, with countless cultivators below it; it's impossible for everyone to be like that Tianyuan Dao Master.

"You have wronged me so cruelly, it is unforgivable. But considering that we are connected in Butian Prefecture, I will only kill one of you to vent my hatred," Shen Ming said coldly.

what?

The three were confused. If they weren't going to kill, they wouldn't kill; if they were going to kill, they would kill them all. Killing two people like this wouldn't earn them any favors, and might even create enmity.

Just as he was wondering, he sensed Shen Ming's genuine killing intent, and the sword in his hand became even more eager to strike.

"So he's a sword cultivator, that makes sense."

Having figured this out, Bai Ziyang and Xiao Yun pointed at Su Su without hesitation.

"she!"

Bai Ziyang gritted his teeth, while Xiao Yun guiltily turned her head away.

"..."

Su Su was struck dumb, her face turned deathly pale, her lips trembled uncontrollably, but she didn't utter a single word.

She closed her eyes, stretched her neck, and waited for fate to arrive.

Whizzing!

The sound of a sharp sword piercing the air rang out, followed by two screams that didn't belong to them.

She opened her eyes and saw Bai Ziyang and Xiao Yun lying in a pool of blood.

"Why?!"

A storm raged within her, but at the same time, she understood Shen Ming's intentions, and a sense of satisfaction welled up inside her.

Shen Ming's gaze remained cold and expressionless, frightening her into not daring to move.

"Go back," Shen Ming said coldly.

This kind of thing is unforgivable, but if we kill them all, it will be unclear when Butian Prefecture investigates.

He was not afraid, but as he had just said, he had a connection with Butian Prefecture and did not want to antagonize it.

In the end, after a chase, all the elite troops of Butian Prefecture will die at their hands.

He felt too embarrassed to greet the Lord of Tianyuan Dao when he saw him again.

Having been betrayed and sold out by the two men, Su Su certainly wouldn't hide it.

"Senior brother, actually I didn't want to do this in the first place."

Before leaving, Su Su couldn't help but want to make this point clear.

"What you think isn't important, what matters is what you do. In the end, you didn't say anything either, did you?"

Shen Ming said bluntly, "Get out of my sight before I change my mind."

Without saying a word, Su Su went straight away.

"Your arrangement was quite clever, but how did you know they would push this woman out?" Jian Li asked.

"I don't know, but someone will be chosen anyway," Shen Ming said.

"good."

Jian Li was quite impressed and highly praised Shen Ming's approach.

"That kind of Heart Sword cultivation method just now..."

However, Jian Li immediately tensed up upon hearing Shen Ming's words.

"It feels good. My Heart Sword Realm has improved a lot. I can use this method to break through to Sword God," Shen Ming said.

Jian Li breathed a sigh of relief, surprised that Shen Ming had managed to break through.

Most importantly, this method is effective.

"Who taught you your Wuji Sword Dao?" Jian Li asked.

Shen Ming didn't understand why he was being asked this, but he answered truthfully anyway.

That was taught to me by the elder who passed on his skills back in the Xuantian Sect.

When the Xuan Tian Sect was mentioned, a genuine smile appeared on Shen Ming's face.

Those days are truly memorable.

"That elder who imparted the skill did so without knowing Shen Ming's power; otherwise, he would have ceased to exist long ago. In that case, it's no wonder that Shen Ming keeps talking about the Innate Sacred Body."

Jian Li felt a little regretful, as long as it was done without knowing the truth, it was fine to just lie to anyone.

If I had known, I would have said that Shen Ming was the reincarnation of an emperor, and instantly gained the cultivation level of the immortal realm.

Of course, this is just a suggestion. Based on the experience just now, it must conform to Shen Ming's own logic.

Shen Ming's self-logic is based on his understanding of the Dao of Heaven, which is his understanding of the world.

Furthermore, I wouldn't intentionally lie without knowing the truth.

“Let’s go find the Moon Emperor,” Jian Li said.

Jian Li completely believed Shen Ming's words that entering and leaving the restricted area was just like going home.

Compared to the forbidden power of the restricted area, this guy is the real ruthless character.
