Chapter 304: Chapter 275: Fierce Dragon Crossing the River! _2

“My Lord, give me a little time, and I can find out more,” Shen Ye said.

“Do you really think you’re that capable?” Lord Nine Phases asked with a hint of mockery in his voice.

To which Shen Ye replied earnestly:

“My Lord, apart from me, the servants of Tian Luo and Tai Yan can find out nothing; they are a bunch of trash, and even the other Lords hardly know how to investigate clues.”

“—This has nothing to do with strength; it requires the talent for finding clues.”

“And the intelligence I’ve gathered far exceeds that of everyone else!”

Lord Nine Phases fell silent for a few moments, his fingers gradually loosening.

This guy was too sincere in his speech.

He really believed what he said.

However, based solely on results—

Indeed, only he had found useful clues.

Interesting.

Well, after all, it’s just a lowly, worthless life, whether I kill him or not doesn’t matter.

If he truly can continue to find valuable intelligence…

It’s better to make use of him than to kill him!

Just as Lord Nine Phases was about to speak, the void shifted.

The world vanished.

In the endless darkness,

countless stars filled the void, twinkling with strange light.

All the stars swiftly turned into eyes, floating in mid-air, densely packed, all gazing down at Lord Nine Phases and Shen Ye.

More eyes appeared in the void, each shooting out a beam of purple light, forming towering walls on all sides that reached into the clouds, trapping the two within.

A figure emerged from the darkness.

Mo Ga Ru!

He had finally come!

Shen Ye retreated to one side, standing solemnly.

Like Tian Luo, he had released his Dharma Aspect as soon as he appeared, ready to act at any moment.

—Yet the False Jiu Xiang was unaware of many things.

Facing Mo Ga Ru at this moment, it was uncertain what might happen.

He had stepped back earlier to save his own skin.

“How did you come to the mortal world?” Mo Ga Ru asked, his tone carrying a slight reproach.

After all, the Nightmare World was Tian Luo’s responsibility, and Lord Nine Phases belonged in Hell.

“Mo Ga Ru, did you come all this way just to talk about such trivial matters with me?” Lord Nine Phases asked, scoffing.

Shen Ye shifted quietly, taking another step back.

However, the turn of events caught him by surprise.

“Alright, I just came to check on things, don’t make a big deal out of it,” Lord Nine Phases said with a snicker, turning to walk into the void.

The light couldn’t stop him.

With a casual wave of his hand, he cut through the blocking light and vanished in a flash.

—He left in such a hurry.

Shen Ye was stunned.

Mo Ga Ru also paused, taken aback.

Why had this happened?

Mo Ga Ru’s gaze slowly moved, looking at Shen Ye with a trace of murderous intent.

Yet Shen Ye did not feel panicked.

…Something was off.

Not just with Lord Nine Phases and Tian Luo.

Even Mo Ga Ru was not acting normally.

Why did he feel like he had control over him?

This power was…

Shen Ye suddenly realized.

Yes, it was the power of Destiny’s End · Banner of the Nest!

The other person bore the mark of this technique.

Damn it.

He wasn’t Mo Ga Ru, he was Tian Luo.

—He was Tian Luo!

But he was on the brink of death, so how dared he pretend to be Mo Ga Ru in front of Lord Nine Phases?

Unless he had some sort of trump card.

Since Shen Ye was a subordinate of Lord Nine Phases, Tian Luo would surely kill him no matter what.

Was there any way he could convince him not to?

He no longer had any time to change the other’s mind.

To stay alive, unless—

Shen Ye spoke up:

“Lord Mo Ga Ru, we meet again.”

Mo Ga Ru’s hand that had just been raised came to a halt.

“My Lord, I must now reveal the truth to you, or else none of this can be undone,” Shen Ye continued.

“The truth… What do you mean?” Mo Ga Ru asked.

“Lord Nine Phases may already be dead,” Shen Ye said.

Mo Ga Ru’s eyes narrowed, and the forming hand seals and cursing spells stopped as he shouted sharply:

“What are you talking about? Wasn’t he just standing in front of you?”

“That man was definitely not Lord Nine Phases,” Shen Ye said, looking straight at him.

“…How can you be sure?” Mo Ga Ru asked.

“I am a subordinate of Lord Nine Phases; he sent me to become the king of the Human Empire—of course, that’s not right, such a thing should not happen in the Nightmare World, but every word he spoke just now differed from the mission he had given me.”

“I suspect something has happened in Hell, the real Lord Nine Phases has fallen into it, someone is impersonating him!”

Shen Ye said swiftly.

Mo Ga Ru’s raised hand hung in mid-air for a long time, his expression uncertain.

If Nine Phases were alive,

to kill his subordinate, weakening his control over the Nightmare World, thereby asserting his own dominance,

—that would be a necessary action.

But if Nine Phases himself faced a life-or-death dilemma—

It was better to let this subordinate live.

He knew much about Nine Phases.

Perhaps he could offer some help in uncovering the truth.

Maybe he knew where Nine Phases’ treasures were hidden.

Mo Ga Ru’s raised hand slowly lowered.

“How absurd, truly ridiculous, don’t you think?”

He asked with full of mockery.

The void opened.

Another person came down.

Tian Luo.

—The Tian Luo who had just visited.

Shen Ye suddenly came back to his senses.

Wait!

Was Tian Luo’s Dharma Aspect a sky full of eyes, or a web that covered everything?

After all, the Underworld Lord had said that the entire world could not escape his surveillance.

In any case, the two had switched!

Both times, one in the light, the other in the dark, alternately hiding and using their Dharma Aspect for each other to deceive Lord Nine Phases.

“The truth is plain to see,” said Tian Luo as he formed a Spell Seal with his hand.

The thunderous roar—

A massive black gate appeared behind him, a vertical pupil opening on the gate, staring at Shen Ye.
