Chapter 808

"Sssss…"

Even though He Pingsheng was a body cultivator, he winced in pain as a handful of flesh was pinched.

"That… what I meant was…"

"I'm not lucky—I'm skilled!"

"Don't misunderstand!"

He Pingsheng was about to cry.

When the woman released him, she was like a wild horse broken free, her ferocity soaring.

Can't I even make a joke now?

"Hmph…" The Great Lun Mingwang released his grip, face icy: "Tell me how the Phoenix Clan treated you—and how you escaped!"

"Mm!" He Pingsheng began transmitting thoughts, briefly recounting his experiences in the Grand World.

After listening, the Great Lun Mingwang said: "In short, you're still lucky—if that Yunyi hadn't been arrogant in the final trial, you'd be dead for sure!"

He Pingsheng nodded.

But deep inside, he didn't agree—he only needed to wait until Feng Wu moved to seize the Golden Time-Flow Banner before turning the tables.

He wouldn't die!

But he didn't want to argue these trivial details with the Great Lun Mingwang.

"So then!" the Great Lun Mingwang transmitted thoughts back: "The Phoenix Clan lost fourteen Body Integration cultivators, the Empty Space Crown Prince is dead, and the Emperor's divine weapon fell into your hands?"

"Hehe…"

"He Pingsheng, He Pingsheng… you really pulled off a grand move!"

"But your good days are nearly over!"

"During the Stone Platform Gathering, the Emperor Beasts won't act—but once it ends, that's your death sentence!"

"You've offended so many Emperor Beasts at once—even if I mediate, I can't save you!"

The Great Lun Mingwang was right.

Among the Emperor Beasts He Pingsheng offended, the Phoenix Clan had several, plus the Empty Space Emperor Beast and the Golden Peng Emperor Beast.

Even if the Great Lun Mingwang had incredible combat power, he couldn't fight all of them alone.

"I have my own plan!" He Pingsheng took a deep breath: "But I need your help!"

The Great Lun Mingwang said: "Speak."

He Pingsheng said: "I have a servant, Zhou Qingmei, and a junior sister, Su Zhenzhen, plus Su Zhenzhen's child—I can't protect them now, and I fear the Emperor Beasts will target them!"

"Can you… protect them for me?"

He Pingsheng looked at the Great Lun Mingwang, forcing a bitter smile.

It was a plea.

The Great Lun Mingwang said: "You want me to raise your women?"

He Pingsheng said: "Su Zhenzhen is my woman from the cultivation world, and the child is ours—born there!"

"Just say yes or no—if you won't help, I'll find another way myself!"

He Pingsheng suddenly grew firm.

The Great Lun Mingwang stared at him, silent.

She simply watched.

After nearly ten breaths, she said: "Fine, I give in—I'll raise your woman and child… don't worry!"

"But how will you escape?"

He Pingsheng had no escape plan—but his idea was simple!

I'll open space to flee; even if the Emperor Beasts kill me, the decoy puppet will block the blow for a moment.

That moment gives me two teleportations.

I should survive!

Of course, if I really die, there's nothing to be done.

"This is my secret—I won't tell you!" He Pingsheng waved his hand, unwilling to elaborate.

"Fine!" the Great Lun Mingwang said: "Go fight well!"

…

In a temporary hall of the Phoenix Clan.

Several Emperor Beasts gathered together.

There were five or six Phoenix Clan Emperor Beasts, plus the Empty Space Emperor Beast and the Golden Peng Emperor Beast.

All their faces were pitch black.

"You did nothing wrong!"

After hearing Feng Wanxi's account, the Seventh Elder nodded: "Everything was flawless!"

"And not fleeing immediately after failing the mission was the best choice!"

"Feng Wanxi—you truly are a prodigy of the Phoenix Clan's younger generation!"

"But I have one question."

Feng Wanxi bowed: "Seventh Elder, ask anything—I'll tell you everything I know."

The Seventh Elder said: "After the Twelve Nirmāṇakāya Shared-Life Array activates, its peak state can elevate the array user to the brink of Emperor Beast realm!"

"With that power, you could have killed He Pingsheng ten times over!"

"So why… didn't you?"

The Seventh Elder's gaze burned: "Did one of you turn traitor?"

"This…" Feng Wanxi frowned: "I wasn't present at the time, so I don't know—ask Fire Ming, my junior brother!"

All eyes turned to Fire Ming.

Fire Ming said: "Since the Elder asks, I'll speak…

"If possible, please let both Imperial Monarchs withdraw!"

Huo Ming bowed to the Kongkong Demon Emperor and the Tianpeng Demon Emperor.

The Kongkong Demon Emperor's face turned black: "Hahaha... my son is dead, my imperial weapon is lost, and now when it comes to the crucial moment, you tell me to leave?"

"Unthinkable!" The Tianpeng Demon Emperor also wore an expression of fury.

Seventh Elder shook his head: "No harm... these two Imperial Monarchs are our own. Speak freely!"

"Fine!" Huo Ming said helplessly: "Among us, there truly is a traitor!"

"Who?" Feng Wanxi asked sharply: "Who exactly?"

Huo Ming said: "It's Feng Wu..."

"After we opened the great formation, when He Pingsheng was already on the brink of death, Feng Wu suddenly struck, seized control of Prince Kongkong, and stole the imperial weapon, the 【Temporal-Spatial Golden Banner】!"

"Without the spatial power of the Temporal-Spatial Golden Banner suppressing him, He Pingsheng could activate his teleportation technique!"

"Thus, we could no longer kill him!"

"What?" The Kongkong Demon Emperor instantly erupted in rage: "Did the Feng clan kill my son?"

"Did the Feng clan steal my imperial weapon?"

"Good, good, good... I understand!" The Kongkong Demon Emperor, furiously enraged, glared at Seventh Elder: "The Feng clan's tactics are brilliant, their calculations precise... they didn't just want to kill He Pingsheng—they also plotted to seize our Kongkong Demon Beast clan's imperial weapon, and even killed my son?"

Seventh Elder felt like vomiting: How could such a thing happen?

But now Huo Ming had already spoken—what could be done?

"Huo Ming!" Seventh Elder hurriedly tried to ease tensions with the Kongkong Demon Emperor: "You didn't misremember, did you? Or are you just lying?"

"No!" Huo Ming immediately raised his hand: "Before the Heavenly Dao, if I uttered a single falsehood just now, let me perish beneath the Nine Thunderbolts!"

Puff...

Seventh Elder's face turned even blacker: I just told you to explain vaguely, to bluff the Kongkong Demon Emperor—who told you to swear an oath?

"Good! Now the Feng clan has no reply left, do they?"

"Give me back my son's life!"

Before the Kongkong Demon Emperor could react, he raised his hand and slammed a palm straight into Seventh Elder's body.

"Damn it..." The other Imperial Monarchs were no fools—they instantly summoned their magic treasures to block the Kongkong Demon Emperor's attack, lest low-rank disciples be caught in the crossfire.

The released energy spilled outward, instantly leveling hundreds of halls and buildings around them.

Within a hundred li, the earth cracked open, and all things turned to dust.

An Imperial Demon's strike—terrifying indeed.
