128: Li Yi, who boasts about himself

“This guy, he actually did it.”

Night Crow looked at Li Yi in surprise. At this moment, Li Yi was enveloped in Devilish Qi, completely transformed into a different appearance, actually becoming exactly like a demon!

Even Night Crow couldn't distinguish whether Li Yi was human or demon. Blending into the demons in such a state, surely no demon would be able to discover him.

She marveled at Li Yi’s brilliant disguise.

This aura even made Night Crow suspect whether Li Yi was truly a demon.

After witnessing Li Yi's disguise, Night Crow became even more convinced that Li Yi was not a child; the child was merely a disguise to deceive others.

So what was Li Yi's true identity?

Night Crow couldn't figure it out, nor did she need to overthink it. She knew that as long as she stayed by Li Yi's side and played nice, she would reap benefits.

Night Crow said, “This probably won't work either. To blend into a demon tribe, a strange demon like you, who isn't of their race, will be very difficult to get in. Even if you were of the same race, they would question why they hadn't seen you before.”

“Do you really think those Medicinal Pills I gave you were for nothing?”

The Devilish Qi within Li Yi originated from those demons, sharing the same aura as the demons. Naturally, he could also restore the demons' appearance through the Devilish Qi. Although there were many flaws, it was more than enough to fool this group of demons.

Devilish Qi enveloped Li Yi, condensing into an outer shell, and Li Yi astonishingly transformed into a humanoid demon.

“Come up.”

Li Yi patted his shoulder. Night Crow transformed into her original form and flew onto Li Yi's shoulder. Under the influence of Li Yi's Devilish Qi, her original aura was well covered, concealing Night Crow and making her appear unremarkable.

To be safe, Li Yi still used his own Devilish Qi to envelop Night Crow, making her appear just like him.

This method of disguise was equivalent to wearing the skin of a demon. Unless the surface Devilish Qi was broken through, Li Yi's true identity could not be discovered.

Night Crow reminded him, “Tribes generally have a treasure vault for storing treasures of various races. Demon Inner Cores are kept inside, and the security is extremely strict. Be careful when you blend in, don't get discovered. Every tribe has a top-tier combat force stationed on this layer.”

Demon Inner Cores are excellent Cultivation resources for demons. Demons can directly obtain a large amount of Cultivation by devouring Inner Cores, which is a very fast way to improve their strength.

Therefore, battles often break out between various races, where they hunt each other to obtain Inner Cores.

Demon Inner Cores are hard to come by and are always stored in the treasure vault, under strict guard, to prevent theft.

They are usually awarded to talented demons within the tribe, or to demons who are about to Breakthrough to the next layer.

Night Crow looked at the perfectly disguised Li Yi, wondering which unlucky tribe would be targeted by Li Yi, this sly old fox. Given Li Yi's personality, he would surely plunder the entire treasure vault, leaving nothing behind.

To meet Li Yi was to have eight lifetimes of bad luck.

Night Crow thought for a moment and said, “Master, if you're going, you can first go to the tribe managed by that Bone Wraith. That guy has strong influence, so there must be many good things. Therefore, let's go empty them out first.”

Li Yi smiled. Night Crow was trying to divert trouble, afraid that he would harm the tribe she once managed.

Although they might have already betrayed Night Crow now, they were still her former subordinates. There were people loyal to Night Crow, and when Night Crow returned in the future, she would eventually need capable people; she couldn't return as a lone commander, right?

To this, Li Yi readily agreed, saying, “Alright, then let's go check out Bone Wraith's tribe and plunder them.”

Li Yi rubbed his hands, hoping not to be disappointed.

Li Yi had consumed so many Inner Cores refined by demons that he had basically accumulated enough Devilish Qi from thirteen tribes, allowing him to transform into a demon from any of them at will. Therefore, it was very convenient to blend into their tribes.

After everything was ready, Li Yi went out and coincidentally ran into a few demons who were searching for traces.

“We clearly smelled the aura in this direction, why did it suddenly disappear?”

“Probably hiding. Hurry up and try to be the first to catch Night Crow. Then we can receive a reward from Lord Bone Wraith, and perhaps have a chance to enter the Seventh Layer in the future.”

“Don't even think about it. Night Crow was a Demonic Lord after all. She's not someone a few of us can handle. Be careful, don't lose your life without getting the reward.”

“That's true, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse.”

The demons patrolled back and forth nearby, searching for a long time, but found nothing.

They noticed a demon walking towards them, looked up, and it was a young demon. The surging Devilish Qi indicated an eight-star Great Martial Master.

This young demon was none other than Li Yi.

“Hey, Ghost Division brothers, have you found any traces of Night Crow and that human?” a demon asked Li Yi.

Based on Li Yi's demon type and the aura on his body, they determined that Li Yi was from the Ghost Division.

“No discovery. Do you have any news to share?” Li Yi shook his head, indicating that he hadn't found anything.

Li Yi was fluent in their language and could communicate with the demons without hindrance.

“No.”

“That's strange, we clearly sensed an aura nearby just now.”

“Hurry up and search, don't let them escape.”

“They entered our core area and still want to run? Can they really escape?”

They noticed Li Yi, who had been watching the show all along, with no intention of acting.

“Hey, brother, are you alone?”

A demon asked Li Yi.

Li Yi sighed, revealing a sorrowful expression, almost bursting into tears as he said, “You don't know how unlucky I was to encounter that little brat and Night Crow.”

“What! You met them? Where?”

Upon hearing that Li Yi had seen the two, they immediately asked excitedly, realizing that an opportunity for meritorious service had arrived.

Li Yi's eyes welled up with tears, and he said indignantly, “Don't even mention it. They were simply too strong; we were no match for them. Especially that child, he was simply like a Heavenly God, his strength terrifying beyond belief. More than a hundred of us were no match for him, and all our brothers died.”

Upon hearing Li Yi's words, they looked at each other, took a deep breath, and felt their scalps tingle.

“All of you were killed?”

“Yes, they were simply too powerful. I still remember their heroicattitude, like Heavenly Gods descended. Alas…” Li Yi sighed deeply, looking as if he had been traumatized.

Night Crow: “......”

Act, keep acting. I have to say, Li Yi's act was truly convincing, Oscar-worthy even.

Speaking of which, didn't Li Yi feel awkward, praising himself so shamelessly in front of someone, almost blowing himself up to the heavens?

Were you there to go undercover, or to promote yourself?

Night Crow couldn't help but inwardly complain, sick of hearing Li Yi praise himself.

She had never seen such a shameless person!

Suddenly, a demon realized something was wrong: “Wait, if all your brothers died, how did you survive?”
