Lu Ming looked at the way Ye Fan was staring at him. There was killing intent!
Why did it feel like he wanted to kill me?
Because Lu Ming noticed that Ye Fan’s eyes had swept over him, completely ignoring Big Yellow.
This meant his desire to kill Lu Ming was even stronger than his desire to kill Big Yellow.
This shouldn't be the case! They had no grudges.
Besides, his current monkey identity was a brand new persona.
He hadn't directly offended him!
Just as Lu Ming was feeling puzzled, the Demon Emperor waved his hand and spoke:
“Alright, all of you may leave!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan and the lesser demons left the Duke's residence.
On the way out, Ye Fan began to sweep with his divine sense.
He wanted to see if he could find the image stones he had placed earlier.
Finding even one would prove his innocence.
At the same time, he was curious: where had Lu Ming and the others hidden the items?
They definitely had some other spatial treasure.
Unfortunately, even after reaching the main gates, he didn't find a single image stone.
Once outside the main gates, Ye Fan was just about to leave.
Just then, Black Crow patted his chest vigorously and guaranteed,
“98th Prince, rest assured, our lips are sealed. We won't say a single word about this.”
“Yes, yes... Please do not worry about us, Prince!”
The other lesser demons quickly chimed in.
Ye Fan frowned slightly and said in an unfriendly tone,
“What is that supposed to mean? Don't tell me you also suspect I stole those things?”
Black Crow and the lesser demons froze. Did they even need to suspect?
It was obviously you who stole them!
But they still hurriedly denied it:
“No, no... We definitely don't suspect you...”
“Yes, yes... We absolutely believe you...”
While the lesser demons were guaranteeing this, they were frantically grumbling in their hearts:
I don't suspect you, I know it was you.
I also believe you, I believe it was absolutely you.
It was definitely you...
...
Boom...
Just then, Ye Fan’s aura erupted, instantly suffocating the lesser demons.
“I'm telling you, it wasn't me... If anyone fucking spreads rumors, don't blame me for being ruthless...”
Ye Fan's fists clenched with cracking sounds, and he said with an ugly expression,
“Yes, yes, 98th Prince, rest assured! We won't say a word...”
Black Crow and the other lesser demons, dripping with cold sweat, guaranteed once more.
Sigh... It was really not easy to live as a demon.
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the lesser demons. He really wanted to strike and kill these things.
He glanced back at the Duke's residence before turning around and leaving.
Seeing Ye Fan leave, Black Crow wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. That was too fucking terrifying; even his feathers were drenched.
“Boss...”
Just as Rat Demon spoke, Black Crow cut him off:
“We'll talk when we get back.”
Subsequently, the group of lesser demons vanished from the spot.
Seeing Ye Fan and the others leave, the Demon Emperor said rather apologetically,
“Little Ancestor, you've been wronged. I will arrange a new residence for you.”
Hearing the Demon Emperor's words, Big Yellow waved its paws repeatedly:
“No need, I quite like it here. There's no need to move.”
The Demon Emperor felt even more embarrassed. Look at this magnanimity.
The Little Ancestor must be staying to avoid causing him trouble.
Just as the Demon Emperor was about to speak again, Lu Ming’s expression suddenly changed.
“Holy crap... What's going on?”
He realized that the Golden Core, which had been spinning above his dantian and cultivating on its own,
was actually spinning faster and faster.
With a bang,
while he was still in shock, his uniquely shaped Golden Core shot right out of his body.
Hearing Lu Ming’s exclamation, the Demon Emperor turned to look at him.
Seeing his terrified expression, the Demon Emperor wondered what had happened.
Whoosh...
Just then, a uniquely shaped object, completely unrecognizable,
suddenly flew out of Lu Ming's body and charged straight at him.
The Demon Emperor was stunned. What on earth is that?
Yet, his reflexes didn't falter. He raised his hand and summoned a spiritual energy shield to block it.
Pfft...
Without a moment's hesitation, the shield was instantly pierced by the Golden Core.
It then sank directly into the Demon Emperor’s body.
“Come back! Hurry up and come back! That's a fucking ally!”
Breaking out in a cold sweat, Lu Ming yelled anxiously.
Big Yellow, Huang Tianbao, and the others were also utterly dumbfounded by this scene.
What was going on?
But seeing Lu Ming’s frantic look, they quickly joined in and shouted:
“Come out, hurry and come out...”
The most shocked was the Demon Emperor. He couldn't understand. He was at the 6th-rank of cultivation!
Why could something pierce his shield so effortlessly?
This made no sense!
Furthermore, he hadn't sensed anything special about that object!
Just as he was about to intercept it again,
the thing zipped directly into his body.
He had no time to worry about why.
He quickly inspected the situation inside his body.
He then saw that after the monster entered his body, it began rampaging wildly inside him.
Wherever it passed, his meridians were stretched to the point of warping and tearing, and his smoothly flowing demonic energy was thrown into utter chaos.
“Ah!...”
The Demon Emperor shrieked in pain. Gritting his teeth, he desperately tried to control the spiritual energy in his body to block it.
Pfft, pfft...
The Golden Core spun and crashed. The Demon Emperor’s attempts to block it were completely useless.
It overcame every obstacle in its path, charging straight toward the Demon Emperor’s heart.
Pfft...
His throat sweetened, and the Demon Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing this scene terrified Lu Ming even more.
“Bro, I beg of you, hurry up and come back...”
“Don't go exploding now!”
Hearing Lu Ming's words, Big Yellow and the others were also shocked.
This thing could explode?
“Woof, woof!!”
Big Yellow immediately grew frantic: Boss, you have to save my descendant!
Don't let him get blown to pieces...
He had called it "Little Ancestor" after all. It couldn't just stand by and watch the kid die!
Lu Ming was also sweating profusely from anxiety.
But whether he circulated his cultivation technique to recall it or shouted out loud,
the Golden Core acted as if it couldn't feel a thing, continuing its rampage.
Just then, the Demon Emperor noticed that the Golden Core had reached his heart.
Suddenly, he froze. Huh? What is this?
Because near his heart, he discovered a wriggling red object shaped like two interconnected hearts.
The Demon Emperor's eyes widened in shock. How could there be such a thing inside his body?
In the next second, as if sensing danger,
that thing actually began to flee.
And the Golden Core gave chase right behind it.
Pfft, pfft...
Due to the massive commotion they were causing, the Demon Emperor began spitting up blood repeatedly.
The moment the interconnected-heart thing left the vicinity of the Demon Emperor’s heart,
the Golden Core caught up to it.
Boom...
A loud explosion erupted inside the Demon Emperor's body.
Blood splattered everywhere as a hole blasted open directly over the Demon Emperor’s heart.
Pfft, pfft...
The Demon Emperor spat out another massive mouthful of blood.
He collapsed straight to the ground!
Big Yellow rushed forward in a panic. Looking at the pale-faced Demon Emperor, Big Yellow said anxiously,
“Woof, woof!!”
Great-great-grandson! How are you doing?
Huang Tianbao and the others also gathered around, looking at the Demon Emperor with concern.
Whoosh...
Just then, Lu Ming's Golden Core coalesced once more, flying directly back to hover above his dantian, where it resumed spinning and cultivating on its own.
