124: She told me everything.

What?

Demon Emperor... Lin Ya was instantly struck as if by a bolt from the blue.

His first reaction was to think Chen Qingxuan was joking, but seeing the latter's serious expression, combined with that purer and richer Demonic Power... in an instant, Lin Ya's heart tightened, "Lord Demon Emperor?"

"Hey, don't call me that... that's all from a past life."

Chen Qingxuan suppressed a smile;

The next moment, he said with a sigh of emotion, "Thinking back thirty thousand years ago, our Yao Race and the Human Race balanced each other out, evenly matched. The Cangyun Continent was also flourishing. Unexpectedly, there were countless powerful enemies from the Three Thousand Divine Provinces beyond this world. That battle... the sky turned dark, the earth cracked, and the mountains collapsed. To protect the stability of the continent, the experts of my Yao Race sacrificed their own Immortal Dao, which also caused a gap in the Yao Race's path. Perhaps this is destiny... to let the Yao Race fall behind the Human Race!"

"You... you are truly the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor?"

Lin Ya listened, dumbfounded.

Originally, he still had some doubts, but setting aside Chen Qingxuan's superb acting and powerful Demonic Power, he even mentioned secrets from ten thousand years ago like the Three Thousand Divine Provinces... as the saying goes, a mix of truth and lies is the hardest to distinguish.

At this moment, Lin Ya was completely stunned.

Chen Qingxuan continued, "Elder Lin, the reason I'm telling you these secrets is because they've been suppressed in my heart for many years with nowhere to vent, and you give me a sense of trustworthiness... Whether you believe these secrets or not, I've at least spoken my mind."

"I believe you!"

Lin Ya said urgently, "Alliance Master Chen... oh no, Lord Demon Emperor... if you had admitted your identity earlier, everything would have come full circle."

"Full circle?" Chen Qingxuan feigned confusion. "What do you mean by that?"

"Think about it, Lord Demon Emperor," Lin Ya said excitedly. "Initially, the Demon Alliance issued a warrant for you because they feared your strength, especially since you, a member of the Human Race, actually controlled Demonic Power. It caused panic in the Western Regions. Everyone thought you used some secret technique to forcibly strip it from the experts of our Yao Race... If we had known earlier that you were the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor, then your strength at such an age, plus Demonic Power far exceeding ours, and even turning against the Human Race for the sake of the Yao Race... wouldn't all of that make sense?"

"Oh? Is that so... I really didn't think that much."

Chen Qingxuan lowered his head;

Not out of guilt, but because he couldn't keep the corners of his mouth from curling up.

It really fucking came full circle.

The next moment, Chen Qingxuan adjusted his state and said, "Elder Lin, you must not tell anyone else about this, not even the clansmen within the Demon Alliance."

"Why?" Lin Ya asked, puzzled. "For our Yao Race... isn't this good news?"

"Even if you believe this deity, it doesn't mean everyone will," Chen Qingxuan said with feigned concern. "After all, something went wrong during my Reincarnation. Now I am both Human Race and Yao Race, which will inevitably raise suspicions... Although I have the Demon Emperor Bloodline to prove myself, I'm afraid... you all don't even know what the Demon Emperor Bloodline is."

"Demon Emperor Bloodline?"

Lin Ya was greatly shocked. "Lord Demon Emperor, you are mistaken. How could anyone doubt it... After all, if you wanted to harm the Demon Alliance, there would be no reason to go through all this trouble."

"Oh no."

Seeing that Lin Ya had taken the bait, Chen Qingxuan knew he needed to create an opportunity for the other party. So, he pretended to think of something. "Now that I am not in the Demon Emperor Palace, although they have fled... I don't know if they will take advantage of the vacancy to enter the Demon Emperor Palace."

"Elder Lin, I cannot go to the Demon Alliance with you. Regarding the robbery of the Demon Alliance Blessed Land, go back and report it yourself. I must return to the Demon Emperor Palace first to prevent any trouble from arising."

Chen Qingxuan appeared impatient;

Before leaving, he deliberately reminded him again, "Elder Lin, remember my warning. You must not reveal my identity. After all... you don't know how to identify the Demon Emperor Bloodline... I will find you at the Demon Alliance in a few days."

Whoosh—

Without waiting for Lin Ya to speak, Chen Qingxuan flew straight away.

"Lord Demon Emperor..."

Lin Ya still wanted to say something;

Looking at Chen Qingxuan's receding back as he sped away, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face. "Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor... Haha, the heavens are truly favoring my Yao Race... How can I not tell such wonderful news?"

And so.

Lin Ya rushed back to the Demon Alliance in a hurry.

After returning, he didn't waste any words. In front of Crimson Saint and other core figures of the Demon Alliance, he directly described Chen Qingxuan's heroic feat of saving the Blessed Land;

Furthermore, he revealed... that Chen Qingxuan was the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor.

"What? He's the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor?"

"How is that possible? Elder Lin... you aren't drunk, are you?"

"Wait, if he really is the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor, then his possession of Demonic Power, staying in the Western Regions, being close to the Yao Race and distant from the Human Race... doesn't all of that make sense?"

Upon first hearing this, the hall erupted in an uproar.

Regarding such significant news, most people were still shocked and skeptical.

To this, Lin Ya had already expected it. "I know everyone will inevitably have doubts, but his Demonic Power... I have personally felt it... It is indeed different from our power... It is a more powerful, more oppressive Demonic Power... and it's not an oppression of strength... but a suppression of Bloodline."

*Commotion*

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Even the usually steady Crimson Saint narrowed his old eyes at this moment. "Elder Lin, just because of this... you believe he is the so-called Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor?"

"The Alliance Leader is right; this is far too hasty."

"Setting aside whether he's the Demon Emperor... we haven't even heard of those Three Thousand Divine Provinces."

"If this person really is the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor, why didn't he say so earlier... why tell you only now?"

Many people spoke up in doubt.

"In response to the Alliance Leader, I naturally didn't believe him just because of that." Lin Ya remained calm, looking around. "What truly made me believe he is the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor... is that he possesses the Demon Emperor Bloodline!"

*Commotion*

Hearing these words, everyone was once again struck as if by a bolt from the blue.

The legendary Demon Emperor Bloodline?

Meeting their surprised gazes, Lin Ya straightened his back. "If you all can find a way... to identify the Demon Emperor Bloodline... then I can guarantee with my head... that he is the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor!"

"..."

At this moment, the hall was so silent that a pin drop could be heard.

It was truly Lin Ya's confidence and the mention of the Demon Emperor Bloodline; even though they still harbored doubts in their hearts, they remained unsettled.

This matter concerned the entire Yao Race;

Or rather, if the Demon Emperor truly succeeded in reincarnating... then it would be enough to shake the entire Cangyun Continent!

"That's wonderful."

Just then, an Elder stood up. "Elder Lin, I happened to have seen how to identify the Demon Emperor Bloodline on a stone tablet."

...Demon Emperor Palace.

Chen Qingxuan returned feeling refreshed.

"I wonder if that Lin Ya can be relied upon... but from his previous reaction... he probably won't be able to keep this secret, right?"

Chen Qingxuan walked while stroking his chin in thought.

If Lin Ya didn't reveal the news of him being the Reincarnation of the Demon Emperor as expected... then the previous plan would have been for nothing.

"Revered Master!"

Just then, a cool and indifferent childish voice called out.

Seeing his little disciple hiding in the corner, Chen Qingxuan walked over as if bathed in a spring breeze. "Qian You, why are you here?"

"I'm waiting for you."

Ji Qianyou knitted her small willow-like brows, her pretty face appearing slightly resentful.

Chen Qingxuan asked curiously, "What are you waiting for me for?"

Ji Qianyou puffed out her cheeks and asked, "Another Human Race woman has appeared in the Demon Emperor Palace... what's going on?"

"Oh, you mean her!" Chen Qingxuan smiled in realization. "She is Alliance Leader Jiang of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, Jiang Susu. She's also my sister. This plan needs her help in the Western Regions."

Before Chen Qingxuan could finish, Ji Qianyou interrupted, "Weren't you uninterested in women?"

"Hmm? Qian You, what do you mean by that?"

"She told me everything."
