Chapter 1157: Exposing the Lies

The Crown Prince was also dazed, and quickly sent a transmission voice to Ye Liuyun to ask about the situation.

He had never heard that the Foreign Tribe could speak human language so fluently and smoothly. In the past, he had only heard that even if Foreign Tribe evil artifacts learned human speech, they would still have an accent.

If he really is a martial cultivator who entered a hundred years ago, he should be a figure from Emperor Xia's generation.

"Fake, that Foreign Tribe is impersonating humans to deceive you!" Ye Liuyun directly replied: "You should just lead everyone to withdraw from here! This place is a trap, there's basically no resources or treasures at all!"

Ye Liuyun felt something was fishy about this matter.

He had still never seen a Foreign Tribe capable of impersonating humans and speaking before.

Moreover, that Foreign Tribe went to great lengths to lure them into the blood pool, so the blood pool must be problematic.

He hastily used his Divine Sense and Golden Pupil to examine the blood pool.

"Plop!"

But before he could confirm, Xuehai had already jumped into the blood pool, eagerly beginning to absorb its power.

He tried to call out to Xuehai again, but it was already too late.

The others weren't as anxious as Xuehai. They didn't specialize in blood cultivation. Moreover, there was so much blood in the pool that each would get a share; they didn't necessarily have to absorb and cultivate here.

"Xuehai, come out, this is a scam!" the Crown Prince shouted at Xuehai, ordering him to come out immediately.

Xuehai retorted: "The blood is fine, the energy inside is very pure. Whether it's a scam or not, let's absorb it first—how could we not make use of a resource?"

Xuehai had finally found a suitable resource and firmly did not want to come out.

"Don't worry! I, the old man, have been sealed by the Foreign Tribe behind the stone wall—I couldn't possibly make any small moves! That beast blood is just a little reward for you! If you can break this stone wall, I have even greater benefits to give you!"

That Foreign Tribe tempted them again.

Some martial cultivators went to the edge of the blood pool, tried the blood inside, and also found nothing unusual.

"It really is beast blood, there's no problem!"

Even some of the Crown Prince's subordinates wanted to go down into the blood pool.

"This is a human martial cultivator impersonated by the Foreign Tribe—don't be deceived!"

The Crown Prince immediately called out, warning the others.

Those few martial cultivators also immediately stopped and asked the Crown Prince.

"What's going on? Your Highness, how do you know?"

The Crown Prince couldn't say it was Ye Liuyun who told him, so he had to explain to everyone: "You all heard that Foreign Tribe's cry, but now the Foreign Tribe has disappeared—don't you find that strange?"

Moreover, how could a Corpse Demon imprison a human martial cultivator? Corpse Demons only kill; they have no ability to imprison a cultivator's spirit!

Those few martial cultivators also found some reason in that, and immediately stopped.

"I am indeed a human martial cultivator. When I entered back then, this place was still a garrison of the Demon Race, and they imprisoned me. Later the Foreign Tribe arrived and turned them into Corpse Demons."

The Foreign Tribe inside the stone wall put on an act and explained.

Someone suggested: "Why don't we break open the stone wall to take a look? We'll soon know the truth!"

"Impossible!"

The Crown Prince immediately stopped them.

"That Foreign Tribe impersonating a human is sealed by a formation; if we let him out, none of us would be a match for him!"

Afraid he wouldn't be able to stop them in time, the Crown Prince blurted out the truth.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw clearly that the Foreign Tribe stared at the Crown Prince for a while, detecting nothing unusual.

He then spoke again: "Don't listen to his nonsense! Outside are all Corpse Demons. If I were a Foreign Tribe, why would I seal myself inside a formation?"

Many martial cultivators looked at each other, momentarily unsure whom to believe.

Seventh Prince Xia Tianyu asked the Crown Prince: "Big brother, how are you certain that person is a Foreign Tribe? How do you know he's sealed by a formation?"

"Right? Your Highness, how do you know?" After the Seventh Prince's reminder, everyone also realized and all looked toward the Crown Prince.

"I have a special treasure!"

To avoid exposing Ye Liuyun, the Crown Prince had to tell a lie, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"How come I've never heard of you having such a treasure, big brother?" Seeing the Crown Prince's expression, the Seventh Prince didn't quite believe it.

"So you're saying Seventh Brother doesn't believe me?" the Crown Prince countered.

After thinking, the Seventh Prince finally said: "I believe you!"

He felt that the Crown Prince's solemn warning to everyone must have his reasons.

Those few princes wouldn't care about treasures anyway. It's impossible that the Crown Prince deliberately lied to them just to hoard treasure for himself.

Moreover, this place has always been strange. At least that Foreign Tribe that earlier made the cry has never shown up.

He merely suspected how the Crown Prince had figured it out. As for the martial cultivator inside the stone wall being a Foreign Tribe impostor, he believed the Crown Prince.

Thus he and the Crown Prince immediately ordered their own people to retreat, even avoiding touching the blood pool.

They all wanted to wait and see: if Xuehai came out unharmed, they would also take some blood with them; if there were problems, they would withdraw immediately.

Xuehai is now completely immersed in the blood pool, his figure no longer visible.

But everyone's Divine Sense could still detect him. He is currently focusing on absorbing and cultivating, showing no sign of accident. Thus these people again began to suspect whether the Crown Prince had ulterior motives.

That Foreign Tribe also took the opportunity to continually tempt them.

"Look, I haven't deceived you, right? The blood pool is fundamentally fine. I still have better resources here—if you're willing to let me out, I'm willing to share them all with you…"

"If you tell us where that previous Foreign Tribe is, we'll consider letting you out after we catch him!" the Seventh Prince communicated with him.

"Seventh Brother, don't be deceived!"

The Crown Prince reminded the Seventh Prince.

Regarding this matter, he still trusted Ye Liuyun more.

That Foreign Tribe obviously wanted to trick them into blasting open the stone wall.

"Foreign Tribe? He's hidden in the stone wall next to me! If you blast open the stone wall, you can catch him!"

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw clearly; the Foreign Tribe's eyes shifted, and he began fabricating lies to deceive them. But the question the Seventh Prince asked was something he probably hadn't considered before.

The Seventh Prince then laughed and said, "You mean the Foreign Tribe sealed himself inside the stone wall? Otherwise, why hasn't he come out?"

The Foreign Tribe was stunned, only then realizing he had fallen into the Seventh Prince's scheme.

He said he was a Human Martial Cultivator sealed inside the stone wall by the Foreign Tribe. How could the Foreign Tribe possibly have sealed himself inside the stone wall!

Seeing the Seventh Prince expose the Foreign Tribe's ruse, the Crown Prince also broke into a smile.

Everyone now understood that the Foreign Tribe was deceiving them, and they all breathed a sigh of relief for not having been taken in.

Roar!

The Foreign Tribe let out a low roar!

"Cunning humans, you truly deserve to die!"

The Foreign Tribe dropped the act, instead becoming furious from shame and began cursing. Moreover, he deliberately restrained his True Essence, hiding his aura so that outsiders would mistakenly think his cultivation level was low.
