1931 The white-faced demon Emperor (1)
After hearing Tang Zhen’s greeting, the white-faced man turned his head around and swept his gaze across Tang Zhen’s body.
A smile hung on the corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth. He seemed like a magical servant that was promoting his goods. There was nothing special about him.
Both of them were in disguise. The difference was that Tang Zhen had already seen through the other party’s background while the other party did not see through his background.
“What do you want to sell? why don’t you set up a stall?”
The white-faced man looked at Tang Zhen and asked in a puzzled tone.
my things are a little different. I can’t sell them at a satisfactory price at all.
Tang Zhen explained. He slowly opened his palm and revealed a Jade tablet that was polished from an unknown Jade material.
He knew what was the best way to attract enemies, so he forged this thing to make the white-faced man take the bait.
As expected, the white-faced man’s pupils slightly contracted when he saw the symbol on the Jade token. He sized up Tang Zhen once again.
“If I’m not wrong, the Jade token in your hand should have been obtained from this fiend nest.”
Tang Zhen nodded. The symbols on it were so obvious. As a devil Emperor, it was impossible for the other party to not see it.
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you crack the things inside and explore the secrets of The Fiend nest yourself?”
The white-faced man’s expression carried a trace of ridicule. He seemed to be certain that Tang Zhen in front of him was a fellow who would show off and swindle others.
“I know what I’m capable of. If I were to explore The Fiend nest, it’s very likely that I’ll lose my life there.
Instead of taking this risk, it would be better to directly use the Jade card to exchange for some cultivation resources, which would be more secure.
So after I got it, I didn’t even look at it and started looking for buyers.”
Tang Zhen’s tone was very sincere as if this was his true thoughts.
The pale-faced man was stunned. This explanation did make some sense.
“Tell me the truth. You really haven’t seen the contents of this Jade tablet?”
“I haven’t, otherwise I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist the temptation.”
The pale-faced man might not believe it, but he did not delve too deeply into it. Instead, he extended his hand to Tang Zhen.
“Let me see.”
Tang Zhen shook his head and rejected the other party’s request.
“This place isn’t suitable. If you want to see it, we can go to another place.”
The corner of the white-faced man’s mouth revealed a mocking smile when he heard this. It was as if he had already seen through Tang Zhen’s thoughts.
Could it be that he wanted to lure him to a remote place, then use underhanded means to ambush him and finally throw his body into the wilderness?
If that was the case, this little thief was really blind.
As a demon Emperor, the white-faced man was naturally fearless. Since this little thief in front of him was acting, he would cooperate with him.
Of course, the main reason was that the pale-faced man wanted to get the other Jade plates to avoid alerting the enemy.
This was because, according to his judgment, this Jade token was clearly a set. The ancient rune on it was the number of the Jade token.
If he attacked now and caused the thief to be desperate and refuse to tell him the whereabouts of the other Jade plates, the loss would be too great.
The white-faced man nodded to Tang Zhen when he thought of this, indicating for him to lead the way.
Tang Zhen did not speak any nonsense. He directly turned around and walked out of the market, heading toward a secluded area.
The white-faced man followed behind with a faint smile on his face, as if he had seen through everything.
After walking for about ten minutes, Tang Zhen and the white-faced man came to a Valley. This place was far away from the devil nest and appeared very secluded.
In the beginning, there were demonic servants searching the area, but after coming up empty-handed, no one came to waste time.
“This place is well hidden. You don’t have to hide what you want to do.”
The white-faced man looked at Tang Zhen and spoke in a cold voice.
“Oh, I’m afraid there’s a misunderstanding, Sir?”
Tang Zhen revealed a puzzled expression as he asked the pale-faced man. He seemed to be unable to understand the meaning behind his words.
The pale-faced man was slightly startled when he saw Tang Zhen’s expression that did not seem to be fake. Could it be that he had guessed wrongly?
The other party was really planning to sell the Jade scroll, and not to trick him to come here and then murder him for money.
Thinking of this, he released his divine sense to sense the surroundings and found that there were indeed no ambushes.
“It seems that I’m overthinking it. This demon servant in front of me really wants to sell the Jade slip and not scheme against me.
Of course, it’s possible that the other party has other plans, but they’ve hidden them very deeply and can’t be seen for the time being.”
Regardless of whether the other party was good or evil, the white-faced man was confident in his amazing strength and would not put him in his eyes at all.
“Alright, no more nonsense. Take out your Jade plates. I know you have more than one.
If I like it, you can name your price. I won’t haggle.”
The man flipped his hand and revealed a pile of black magic crystals. They were of the highest quality.
Tang Zhen’s eyes seemed to be attracted by the magic crystal. He greedily stared at it for a while before he seemed to wake up from a dream. He quickly took out several Jade cards from his pocket.
Seeing this, the white-faced man revealed an expression of ‘I knew it’.
“The Jade plates are all here. We agreed to exchange the goods and money at the same time, so don’t try any tricks.”
Tang Zhen deliberately used a cautious gaze to look at the white-faced man. At the same time, he opened his mouth and warned, allowing the role he was playing to be more real.
“Don’t dawdle, or I won’t be polite anymore!”
After seeing what he wanted, the white-faced man stopped pretending and revealed a fierce expression.
As a fiend Emperor, he could easily exterminate the demonic servants in front of him, but he was too lazy to do so.
He had disguised himself to come to The Fiend nest because he felt that something was wrong with the situation. Therefore, he was prepared to investigate before entering.
Although the ancient fiend nests existed, most of them had been destroyed. It was almost impossible for such a well-preserved ancient fiend nest to exist.
Especially the treasures in this fiend nest. The quality was so high that it was somewhat frightening. Even an expert of his level couldn’t help but drool after hearing about it.
However, it was precisely because of this that the white-faced man did not dare to act rashly. Compared to those demon masters and demon lords, he knew more about the terrifying aspects of the ancient demon nest.
An expert who could own such a fiend nest would definitely be far stronger than him. Moreover, the fiends of ancient times were far more powerful than the fiends of today.
The Fiend nests that they managed must be filled with killing intent. Only those reckless fiend Masters and fiend Lords would charge in rashly driven by greed.
As for the deaths and injuries in The Fiend nest, the white-faced man felt that it was normal. This was the curse brought about by the treasure.
If he could easily obtain the treasures and escape unscathed at the same time, the value of this fiend nest wouldn’t be that high. It wouldn’t be worth his time at all.
Ever since he came here, the white-faced man had never revealed his identity. Instead, he had been silently collecting information about this fiend nest.
First of all, he had to determine that there might be hidden dangers in The Fiend nest. Second, he had to determine who the original owner of The Fiend nest was through the origins of the various items.
After confirming the identity of the original owner, he could make some speculations based on the other party’s style, thus reducing the possible risks.
This was the style of a truly old demon. They would plan before taking action, and would never act rashly and put themselves in danger.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to survive until now. They would have died in the infighting of the demons because of their negligence.
The Jade token that Tang Zhen had taken out at this moment was rather timely to the white-faced man. Therefore, he placed great importance on it.
Compared to the scattered information he had collected earlier, this Jade token from the ancient fiend nest would record more comprehensive and accurate information.
If he was lucky, there might be some unexpected surprise.
After receiving the Jade slip from Tang Zhen, the white-faced man didn’t directly give him the magic crystals. Instead, he chuckled and inserted his mental energy into the Jade card.
He was prepared to verify its authenticity. If the demonic servant in front of him dared to deceive him, then today would be the day of its death.
Who knew that the moment his mental energy touched the Jade token, he suddenly felt a muffled ” boom ” sound, as if a Thunderbolt had exploded in his mind.
“I’ve been tricked!”
The white-faced man was shocked. Just as he was about to fight back, he felt a slight chill in his chest, as if a sharp blade had pierced through his chest.
