Chapter 97: Not a Bro, I'm Comparing Spiritual Power with the Demon God Emperor, Is This For Real?

Ye Ling had a black line across his forehead.

He could tell that this little lady, Yue Ye, was likely sent by the Moon Demon God Agares.

Pretending to be clueless, he spoke indifferently: "Reporting to the Princess, the Beixiao Cave has been fully explored, and there is nothing inside suitable for the Moon Demon Clan."

"In my anger, I destroyed it."

Yue Ye: "..."

Not suitable for the Moon Demon Clan, but suitable for you Humans, right?

Yue Ye was so angry her teeth itched; if it weren't for the fact that there were too many Moon Demon Clan members here, with too many eyes watching, she would have wanted to bite Ye Ling directly on her home turf.

This person was too detestable.

She said with a sarcastic, mocking tone: "Very well, Count Ye Ling has worked hard. His Excellency the Moon Demon God knows of your hard work and has specially sent a battalion to bring you and your... your beloved companion back to the Moon Demon Palace, where there will be a heavy reward."

Having said that, she turned gracefully and walked away directly.

All the surrounding Moon Demon Clan members looked at Ye Ling's position in astonishment; they hadn't expected this person to truly be a Count.

So young, so handsome, with his aura restrained to the point where one couldn't even see through his true cultivation—it seemed this person must be someone being groomed by His Excellency Agares as a future Heavenly King, right?

Although his attitude toward Princess Yue Ye was a bit strange, even involving some sharp verbal sparring.

But they dared not speculate too much and only dared to follow Yue Ye's carriage; even though there were quite a few Seventh Rank and Eighth Rank experts in this battalion, they dared not involve themselves in the matters and disputes between a Count and a Princess.

They gradually departed, while Ye Ling's hand was tightly gripped by a small hand; the hand was soft, but the grip was not light, showing the tension of its owner. Turning his head to look, it was Long Lingxi, who was the Light Saintess.

"Brother Ye Ling, are we really going to the Moon Demon Palace to see the Moon Demon God?" Long Lingxi was instinctively resistant; as the Light Saintess, although she wouldn't necessarily have the urge to kill the moment she saw the Demon Race.

But toward the Demon Capital Heart City, which contained endless dark Spiritual Power, Long Lingxi was instinctively resistant.

However, she saw Ye Ling acting like a dissolute young master, gently hooking Long Lingxi's fair chin, and softly saying: "Oh, little beauty, could it be that you want to defy the noble Count?"

"Is His Excellency the Moon Demon God someone so easily seen? At that time, only I will see him; you all can simply settle down and wait for my favor."

Ye Ling did not know the true behavioral habits of the Moon Demon Clan and could only rely on his own concepts to act it out. Although the acting wasn't very successful, it was better than his true nature appearing and causing suspicion among those demons... Although Ye Ling didn't know why Yue Ye and the others had come, since they brought so many powerful demons, he guessed it should be the intention of the Moon Demon God Agares.

If it were before, it would be hard to say, but in the current situation, Ye Ling didn't believe Agares dared to make a move on him. Moreover, since he couldn't run away, it was better to go and see. With the deal with Long Xingyu involved, Agares would inevitably do his best to protect them.

In Ye Ling's off-the-cuff words, Long Lingxi also heard this meaning. Knowing the implication, she nodded. If things really went south, they still had a place to hide, but it was difficult right now. She also nodded firmly and replied: "Please forgive my rudeness, Count."

Ye Ling smiled slightly. As long as Long Lingxi understood his words, he reached out to rub her little head, then took a step forward and left with the other two, who were bewildered but kept their mouths shut.

Although those Moon Demon Clan members felt Ye Ling's behavior was a bit strange, he was, after all, a Count, so they dared not interfere too much.

Isn't it just flirting with a beloved Human concubine? It's standard procedure; the Moon Demon God had also done so in public before, let alone other Moon Demons. As for Yue Ye, who understood the situation, she looked at them from the shadows with disdain.

Act, just keep acting.

Can you really keep acting? But soon, the disdain in her eyes completely dissipated, replaced by a glimmer of sharp light in her pupils.

Very well, before in Odin Town, that was your home turf.

But now, in Demon territory, and even returning to the Moon Demon Palace, from here on out, this is my home turf!

I am bound to win! This time, Ye Ling! Just wait to be ruthlessly trampled under my feet and become a "loser"!

With such thoughts, Yue Ye set off on the return journey to the Moon Demon Palace.

High above, Long Xingyu looked down with a cold gaze. Not a shred of Spiritual Power leaked out, but the killing intent around his body represented his mood.

"A fine Count, a fine invitation to return to the Moon Demon Palace, a fine 'Agares wants to see them.' These old foxes are indeed insidious."

Long Xingyu was not a timid person; he could see that Agares's intentions were not pure.

Scanning the area, the golden light on his body gradually emerged; that was the radiance of the Divine Seal Throne of Apocalypse and Slaughter. The strongest below was only at the Eighth Rank; since that was the case, Long Xingyu could completely wipe them all out before they could react!

Just as he intended to strike, a purple light flashed on Yue Ye's body. The next moment, the aura changed continuously, slowly rising into the air, and landed in front of Long Xingyu, transforming into a very handsome middle-aged man. Who else could it be but Agares?

"Long Xingyu, what are you doing?" the avatar of Agares asked.

"Heh, what? Taking my disciple and my family to the Moon Demon Palace together—is this your attitude toward cooperation?" Long Xingyu said coldly.

But he saw Agares shake his head: "I have no reason to kill them, nor is it necessary."

"If nothing goes wrong, in the previous transaction, you should have imprinted my aura and words."

"If something really happens to them, you will inevitably go to His Majesty the Demon God Emperor, and at that time I will surely die. I will be more afraid of something happening to them than you are."

Hearing these words from Agares, Long Xingyu's face gradually sank and then eased a little. He had to admit that what he said was indeed correct. "I don't know what you intend to do with my disciple and daughter, but since you dared to make that kind of deal with me, I can temporarily trust you."

"Next, I will temporarily station myself a hundred miles from Heart City. Within one week, I want to see the four of them come out safely."

Listening to Long Xingyu's words, Agares nodded, clearly agreeing. A moment later, this avatar gradually dissipated, and he returned to his daughter's side. Most of the Demon Race still belonged to the era of drinking blood and eating raw meat.

But the Moon Demons were different; apart from lacking creativity, their other habits were no different from Humans.

Not to mention that Yue Ye was the former president of the Yue Ye Chamber of Commerce, so she arranged a decent carriage for the four of Ye Ling.

The four sat cross-legged inside, while on the side was a soundproof protective barrier set up by the Moon Bright Canghai Spiritual Stove. No one around could forcibly break through; if they tried, the Moon Bright Canghai would inevitably sense it.

"Little brother, what do you plan to do next?"

"If we enter the Moon Demon Palace, we will truly be turtles in a jar," Li Xin said with a worried face.

She had thought that one day she might infiltrate the Demon Capital Heart City and hunt demons, but she really didn't expect... that this "one day"... would come so soon.

"Rest assured, the Moon Demon God won't really make a move on us."

"If it really comes to it, I'll stuff you all into the Eternal Tower again. Just by myself, I have quite a few ways to break the situation," Ye Ling said with a faint smile.

However, he looked at Wang Yuanyuan first and said: "But Yuanyuan, you have to restrain yourself. If you see a demon and start hacking at them directly, the three of us will have to be buried with you."

Wang Yuanyuan: "..."

Are you eating... her pretty face flushed red, and she nodded: "Fine."

"As long as we play our respective roles well, this crisis can still be avoided."

Ye Ling said indifferently; after all, their backer was Agares. However, he was also curious: what was the situation with Agares coming to find him directly this time?

But for now, he couldn't fully understand or investigate it.

After a long while, he shook his head and opened his system panel.

"System, two sign-in opportunities, sign in for both," Ye Ling thought to himself.

【First sign-in successful, host has obtained the Method of Blood-Refining Golden Body.】

【Blood-Refining Golden Body: Soak the body in Magic Beast blood, supplemented by cultivation techniques to guide it, stimulating the Human body through pores to absorb the power of the bloodline and stimulate the Human flesh.】

Thereby causing the Human muscles, meridians, bones, and even blood to produce a stress response, achieving the goal of improving physical fitness through such intense stimulation.】

"Oh? That physical secret technique from ten thousand years later?"

"Not bad. Once I cultivate it in the future, as long as my External Spiritual Power goes up, I will be able to use a portion of the might of Xiong Ba Tian Xia."

"But I don't need it for now. Let's continue with the next sign-in," Ye Ling thought to himself.

【Second sign-in successful, obtained unranked equipment, Interference Crystal.】

【Interference Crystal, unranked equipment. As long as the target of the interference is confirmed, one can interfere with anyone's mind once. Each interference requires consuming Spiritual Power of the target's level, but it does not have to be the host's own Spiritual Power.】

"? What kind of artifact equipment is this? Mind interference? Are you kidding me?" Ye Ling took it out from his storage space. It was just a small black stone, possessing a trace of strange radiance in Ye Ling's hand.

He couldn't tell its strength.

At least neither the three people on the side nor Moon Bright Canghai had any opinion on it.

They just assumed Ye Ling was thinking to himself and had taken out some random object.

"Anyone's mind can be interfered with, so what about Moshenhuang Fengxiu?" After this thought appeared in Ye Ling's mind, this stone suddenly underwent a change. Others couldn't see it, but before Ye Ling's eyes, it was extremely straightforward.

【Influence target bound: Moshenhuang Fengxiu.】

【His Spiritual Power: 999,999 points.】

【Current Spiritual Power injected: 0】

Ye Ling: "."

Seriously, buddy? I'm comparing Spiritual Power with the Demon God Emperor? Is this for real?

How am I supposed to scrape that together? By the time I have enough, I'll probably have been killed by the Demon God Emperor already, let alone influencing his mind. Wait, this thing doesn't just require my own Spiritual Power; other people's Spiritual Power isn't out of the question.

Next, I'm going to meet a top-tier powerhouse, so his Spiritual Power might just work... As this thought appeared, Ye Ling felt his future was incredibly bright!

Just as he was pondering, the carriage stopped abruptly. A thick aura of darkness instantly rushed into their faces, flashing with a strange radiance.

At this moment, Ye Ling also silently raised his head and looked toward the perimeter.

"We're here?" Ye Ling nodded, immediately shifting his state, adding the Moonlight Power of the Moon Bright Canghai Spiritual Stove to his body, and revealing the bewitching smile of a Moon Demon Clan Duke: "In a moment, remember not to give yourselves away."

The few nodded.

They then followed Ye Ling off the carriage.

Several Moon Demon Clan members with equally handsome appearances came over, busily serving them as they stepped off the carriage.

Among them, several Moon Demon Clan maids looked at Ye Ling with flushed faces, but after glancing at Long Lingxi and the others, they shook their heads, deeming themselves unworthy of this Earl whose appearance was no less than that of Lord Moon Demon God.

What entered the four's eyes was a massive pitch-black city with towering walls. One could perceive the powerful Dark Element rushing toward them, which even made Long Lingxi's expression turn cold. Fortunately, Ye Ling reacted quickly, using his Spiritual Power to skillfully let Yating enter her body.

Only then did she avoid the suffering. The Demon Race Heart City was very large, so much so that it was no problem for their carriage convoy to travel together. According to Ye Ling's understanding, if they wanted to walk through Heart City normally, it would probably take more than a short half-day of travel.

And before them was the Moon Demon Palace. Upon seeing the Moon Demon Palace, even Wang Yuanyuan, who had seen the world, could not help but be shocked.

It was too big.

"Let's go, don't keep people waiting." Ye Ling didn't have that many thoughts; he simply stepped forward and led his three "female confidantes" to follow Yue Ye inside.

They did not head to Yue Ye's bedchamber, but arrived at the main hall of the Moon Demon Palace. This main hall did not have much aura present; it seemed Moon Demon God Agares had specifically ordered them to leave.

"Yue Ling, my father wants to see you." After entering the Moon Demon Palace, Yue Ye immediately turned to look at Ye Ling's position and asked.

Ye Ling immediately spoke to the three beauties around him: "Stabilize your own aura, try not to use Spiritual Power. If you feel uncomfortable, take turns using Yating."

Yating: "."

The three nodded in agreement, especially Wang Yuanyuan. After entering here and feeling the Dark Element within, she could already barely suppress the killing intent in her body, but she just didn't want to add trouble for Ye Ling.

Having received their assurance, Ye Ling immediately turned to look at Yue Ye and said, "Lead the way."

He then added: "Also, my name is Ye Ling, not Yue Ling. Don't try to take advantage of me on the sly; that doesn't suit your character as the Moon Demon Witch..."

Yue Ye: "."

Then should I take advantage of you openly? Of course, she didn't dare say this out loud, and just led Ye Ling into the room where the Moon Demon God was.

Calling it a room would be better described as a large flat with over a thousand square meters. It was entirely deep purple, and the moon attribute occupied the entire room. There was almost no dark attribute Spiritual Power, which made Ye Ling very comfortable.

If the Moon Bright Canghai Spiritual Stove hadn't been a bit timid, it probably would have come out to absorb it by now.

Moon Demon God Agares was sitting cross-legged in the very center of this room. Sensing someone had entered, he immediately opened his eyes. His gaze was like fire and torches, and a burst of deep purple light flickered, instantly falling upon Ye Ling.

"It seems I was right to complete this transaction through you."

"Your progress this year compared to a year ago can be said to be worlds apart. Even those excellent Moon Demon Clan members cannot compare to you, let alone that your potential is even above theirs."

Agares saw through Ye Ling's Spiritual Power and commented.

Hearing this, Ye Ling nodded slightly and said: "Thank you for the praise, Lord Moon Demon God. However, I am curious, why did you summon me here personally?"

But after these words came out, the surrounding aura suddenly began to change. Ye Ling could keenly perceive that it was caused by the Spiritual Power fluctuations from the Moon Demon God.

Moon Demon God Agares slowly stood up, his Spiritual Power erupting continuously. The cold moonlight in his eyes expanded, carrying a trace of sharpness, and he said:

"Tell this King, what exactly is that Moon Source on your body that is no less than this King's!"
