10291. Chapter 10291 The Demon Emperor Gambles Everything20
The corner of the demon emperor's mouth slightly raised, and he slowly uttered two words: "Zhong Ping."
Leng Xuan's face changed, and he frowned and said: "Why do you mention him? He is dead, and died in your hands."
"No, no, no." The demon emperor smiled and said: "It's just that you thought he was dead. I never said he was dead. Leng Xuan, at your level, don't you know that the body and the soul can be separated? At the beginning, Yan Yun used me like a dog and appointed me to watch Zhong Ping. But what he didn't know was that I had already controlled the bridge of heaven and earth at that time. Later, I secretly designed him to appear in front of you, so that you took a big advantage. You should still remember this."
Leng Xuan nodded secretly. It didn't take long for this incident to happen, so of course he remembered it very clearly. When Yan Yun appeared in the dead land, he was still very strange. He didn't know why that guy was crazy and dared to run to Huangquan. It was not until later that he knew that all this was done by the demon emperor. At that time, Yan Yun suffered a great loss at his hands and wanted to use Zhong Ping in exchange for his own life. As a result, when the demon emperor sent Zhong Ping, Zhong Ping had become a corpse. He had always thought that Zhong Ping was dead, but now it seems that things are not as he imagined.
"When Yan Yun asked me to take Zhong Ping to the underworld, I deliberately set a trap for Yan Yun and forcibly stripped Zhong Ping's soul, leaving only a useless body. As a result, you really fell into the trap and thought that Zhong Ping was killed by Yan Yun, so you vented your anger on Yan Yun in a rage, which gave me a chance to turn things around."
After hearing the words of the Demon Emperor, Leng Xuan immediately came to his senses.
"So, Senior Zhong is not dead."
"Of course, you just think he is dead. In fact, his soul has been in my hands. However, you also know that the soul will become weaker and weaker if it is separated from the body for too long. Zhong Ping was seriously injured before, and his current situation is even more critical. If he is not treated early, he will die."
"What do you want?"
"As I said just now, I want to negotiate a deal with you. From your appearance, I believe you are very interested now, so I might as well say it directly. I need to give you a part of the power of death. As long as you keep your promise, I will return Zhong Ping's soul to you. In addition, the part of the power of life you just absorbed is also part of the deal. Those life forces are enough to restore Zhong Ping's soul to its original state."
After listening to the other party's words, Leng Xuan immediately understood his intention. If there is the help of the power of death, combining these two powers, the demon emperor can quickly complete the breakthrough. However, in this way, it is equivalent to creating a person who can be on par with himself. However, if he refuses, Zhong Ping will never be resurrected.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. On one side is Zhong Ping, and on the other side is a future powerful enemy. He must make a choice. After thinking for a moment, he slowly nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to your request, but you have to let me see Senior Zhong first."
The Demon Emperor seemed to have expected him to say this, and smiled and said, "Of course no problem." As soon as the voice fell, he raised his hand, and a brilliant light immediately appeared in the palm of his hand. As the light bloomed, a shadow immediately appeared in Leng Xuan's sight.
"Leng Xuan."
"Senior Zhong." Leng Xuan said excitedly: "Don't worry, I will rescue you right away."
