Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 899: Chapter 899: The Demon Lord is Tricked

”Everyone heard it, right?” General Ji Ning was truly targeted by the Sea Race, and his every move was under their surveillance; otherwise, do you think he could have arrived safely in the Imperial City?”

Many people had overlooked this matter, but once Ling Xiao mentioned it, they began to sense something was amiss.

”This Ghost-faced man is not wrong, it seems there really are people who want General Ji Ning dead, so they deliberately set up this trap to ensnare him!”

”It must be the Sea Race!”

”No way, could the Imperial Advisor and this Vice President actually be the Yin-Yang Demon King and the Lightning Demon King of the Sea Race?”

”If that really were the case, it would be too horrifying!”

With just a trivial action, Ling Xiao had completely shifted the stance of the people in the square.

From previously doubting Ji Ning to now believing his words.

”Mister Ghostface, this matter does not concern you. Please take Miss Yan Ran and step aside!”

Though Ji Ning was grateful to the Ghost-faced man, he did not want to involve more people because of this incident, so he had no choice but to refuse Ling Xiao’s goodwill.

”General, you are mistaken in your words!”

Ling Xiao shook his head slightly and said, ”This matter not only concerns me, but it is also of great importance!”

”It concerns you? Could it be that you are—”

Suddenly, Ji Ning had a thought—was this Ghost-faced man a Martial Artist who had come from the Heavenly Dragon Continent?

”You guessed correctly, General. I am a Martial Artist who fortunately survived on the Heavenly Dragon Continent. I witnessed firsthand the scene when the Yin-Yang Demon King and the Lightning Demon King joined forces to destroy the Holy City!”

Ling Xiao nodded as he spoke.

Upon hearing these words, Si Kong Zun suddenly became tense, and so did the Martial Artists in the square.

There was actually another informant bold enough to stand up in front of Si Kong Zun. What audacity.

”Then, can you confirm my words?”

Ji Ning asked.

Ling Xiao was silent for a moment, and then looking towards Si Kong Zun, he said indifferently, ”As the mighty Lightning Demon King, you actually deign to impersonate a human and mingle at the Phoenix God College, don’t you find it demeaning?

Whether the Imperial Advisor is the Yin-Yang Demon King, I am not sure, because I have not seen the current Imperial Advisor, and the Yin-Yang Demon King’s appearance changes often, making it hard to confirm.

However, that Si Kong Zun is the Lightning Demon King, there is no doubt about that!”

”Good! What courage! For there to be a Martial Artist like you in the Heavenly Dragon Continent, it shows that the Sacred Dynasty has not completely decayed!”

Ji Ning applauded.

”What a joke. Just a person hiding his head and showing his tail, and you dare to accuse me on his just one person’s word?”

Si Kong Zun scoffed.

”Indeed, who is this person wearing a Ghost Mask?”

”Is he too ashamed to show his face?”

”Then what he says can’t be very reliable.”

After all, Si Kong Zun was cunning and crafty; with just one sentence, he had regained the advantage.

However, Ling Xiao was neither anxious nor flustered, but simply smiled and said, ”The Lightning Demon King wants to know what I look like, merely because you plan to take my life in secret. I am just an ordinary Martial Artist, not as strong as you, so of course, I need to protect my life.

But to prove that you are of the Sea Race, it’s very simple. Whether or not I take off my mask, it’s not important at all!”

At this point, the square suddenly fell silent. Everyone wanted to know how to prove that Si Kong Zun was of the Sea Race.

”The Sea Race and the Human Race have many differences. Although some Sea Race members look exactly like humans, their blood is blue! That’s one distinction!”

Ling Xiao spoke indifferently, ”Some skilled impostors can disguise their blood as red using their bloodline, but there’s a significant difference between the Sea Race and humans that most people probably don’t know. That is, the Heavenly Pulse of the Human Race always appears in a liquid state akin to the deep sea, whereas the Heavenly Pulse of the Sea Race or humans who have been transformed by the Sea Race undergoes various changes.”

”I wonder if the Vice President of the Phoenix God College dares to prove it?”

”Hahaha, why wouldn’t I dare?”

Si Kong Zun laughed heartily, ”There’s no need for such a thing, but to prove my innocence before so many warriors of the Divine Phoenix Continent, what’s there to lose by showing you?”

Having said that, a drop of crimson blood fell.

The first point of difference was negated.

Afterward, Si Kong Zun stimulated his Heavenly Origin Power, turning his skin nearly transparent so that all the martial artists could see the shape of his Heavenly Pulse.

It was a deep blue liquid state, just like the ocean.

”How about that, Mister Ghostface, got nothing to say now, have you?”

Si Kong Zun sneered.

However, at that moment, there were people in the crowd laughing slyly, thinking to themselves that the young Ling Xiao was indeed crafty.

”Idiot!”

General Ji Ning swore.

”Right, this guy is an idiot!”

Si Kong Zun pointed at Ling Xiao and said, ”He wanted to help you, but instead he made things worse!”

”It’s you who’s the idiot! All this time you’ve disguised yourself as a human and you don’t even know that the Heavenly Pulse of humans is never a fixed shape? Only the... Heavenly Pulse of the Sea Race has a blue color just like the ocean!”

General Ji Ning said loudly.

Si Kong Zun was stunned.

During his years pretending to be human, he only cared about his own cultivation and the affairs of the True Demon Empire, never paying attention to any human.

He didn’t even care about his disciples who were close by.

Therefore, he knew almost nothing about the Heavenly Pulse of humans.

Now, standing on the square were all the warriors from the Divine Phoenix Continent, and the very few human warriors did not dare to make a sound.

Those humans on the high platform, who had been transformed by the Sea Race, were even less inclined to speak up.

So, no one warned Si Kong Zun that his confident display of his Heavenly Pulse was a trap, a snare, until it was too late.

”I believe what comes next goes without saying, right? Si Kong Zun is from the Sea Race, there is no doubt about that! And the True Demon Empire was established by the Sea Race, which I believe many are already aware of!”

Ling Xiao said with a faint smile, ”Whether he is the Lightning Demon King or not is actually irrelevant. The important thing is that he is one of the ambitious Sea Race. We may be Human Race, Phoenix Clan, or others, but we are all descendants of the Sacred Dynasty, unlike the Sea Race!”

”This person has been careful and calculating, setting up a situation where General Ji Ning would have no choice but to walk into his own death! Even if the General is clever, it is useless because he knows it’s a trap and yet must face it. If he doesn’t, the country is finished!”

Ling Xiao’s voice was very calm, yet the countless warriors of the Phoenix God Empire were sweating bullets on their foreheads and backs.

It was terrifying!

If this man’s cunning plans were to succeed, then the Empire would lose a key Great General. Once war breaks out in the future, it will be extremely troublesome.

”What happened on the Heavenly Dragon Continent is a bloody example. This Si Kong Zun infiltrated the Heavenly King Sect, called the Sacred Emperor his brother, and then struck him down. Do you all think we can truly live in peace with such a person?”

Ling Xiao’s voice suddenly rose.

”No!”

The crowd was impassioned!

”Utter nonsense, just shut your foul mouth. Come on, is the Empire’s patrol team not present? This man dared to defame the Imperial Advisor, to slander the Vice President of Phoenix God College, why haven’t you detained him yet!”

At this moment, Si Kong Zun had completely lost his composure.
