Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 144 Successful Stalling, Unbelievable Reward!

Emperor Yuan turned his head and looked out the window. Outside, there was still that lonely grave. He murmured to himself, "Xi Yue, you must have seen Ye'er."

"This brat has just as many secrets as I do, and he's already reached this level."

"I thought he had lived a mediocre life, but that was enough for him to live a carefree life. Now, I don't know whether this situation is good or bad."

"But it's good that you're still alive..."

Back at the Seven Nights Palace.

As soon as they entered the backyard, they heard a silvery laugh, which did not sound like Li Yueyao's voice.

Li Qiye looked over and found that Wei Ling Shuang was actually in the mansion.

At this moment, she was sitting in the pavilion with Li Yueyao, chatting and laughing, while Granny Yinlong stood beside them, also with a smile on her face.

Just then, as if sensing Li Qiye's return, Wei Ling Shuang hurriedly stood up, a blush appearing on her beautiful face.

"Young Master Li, you're back?"

"Ah."

Li Qiye nodded, looking puzzled, and asked, "How did you get here? Is no one restricting your freedom anymore?"

"I have completely broken ties with Wei Changge."

Wei Ling Shuang blinked and said naturally, "I am not under anyone's control now. After all, my current identity is extremely special, and they dare not restrict my freedom."

"That's good."

A smile appeared on Li Qiye's face. He hadn't expected that Wei Ling Shuang, who looked so gentle, would have such a tough side and dare to break with Wei Chang Ge.

"Actually, it's because Wei Changge thought that Prince Qiye had perished in the secret realm and wanted to use this to threaten the princess. Who knew that the princess would show unprecedented toughness and make Wei Changge suffer a setback."

"If we weren't in the Imperial Mausoleum City, Wei Changge probably wouldn't have been able to resist making a move against the princess."

Granny Silver Dragon, standing to the side, narrowed her eyes and explained.

She intentionally or unintentionally explained the situation, saying that Wei Ling Shuang broke with Wei Chang Ge because of Li Qi Ye, clearly trying to help Wei Ling Shuang win Li Qi Ye's favor.

"Don't worry, everyone."

Li Qiye smiled broadly and said with great arrogance, "If Wei Changge really wants to harm Ling Shuang, I can guarantee that the one who dies will be him!"

After saying this, Li Qiye's tone softened, and he looked at Wei Ling Shuang and said softly:
“You did a great job. You really don’t need to be afraid of him. The fact that he always looks at you with murderous intent means that he is always wary of you. That is his biggest weakness.”

"If one day you once again display the demeanor of a prodigy, it will surely shatter his composure!"

Hearing this, Wei Ling Shuang nodded heavily: "I understand. He actually had the opportunity to kill me a long time ago, but he never did it, which proves that he was very conflicted."

“He wants me dead, but because I have my immortal bones in my body, he doesn’t dare to kill me. If he kills me, it will cause a demon in his heart.”

"In short, he wanted to completely annihilate his inner demons, and simply killing me wouldn't do that."

"Not bad!"

Li Yueyao, standing beside her, said with a smile, "Inner demons are a good thing!"

Then, a strange red light flashed deep in her eyes.

In the world of Tomb of the Gods, she received guidance from the Immortal Xiyue and became aware of her own problems.

Now that she has a clear understanding of things, she is naturally in a good mood.

As a representative of the Extreme Yin Divine Demon Body, the so-called inner demons are absolutely nourishment for her.

Similarly, Li Yueyao can amplify the inner demons of all living beings to the maximum extent, causing their minds to waver. If someone's will is weak, their mind may even be overwhelmed, and they may be completely controlled by their inner demons.

"It's good that you know that."

Li Qiye smiled and nodded, then casually lay down on the recliner next to him, his eyes slightly closed in a tired manner, as if he was about to rest.

He was indeed tired, after all, merging two worlds was extremely mentally and physically exhausting.

Beside them, Li Yueyao and Wei Ling Shuang continued chatting, but their voices were noticeably softer, as if they were afraid of disturbing Li Qiye.

Li Qiye relaxed, lazily lying on the recliner, muttering to himself:
"Shouldn't the system be distributing the rewards I've accumulated over the past few days?"

This trip to the secret realm was filled with so many experiences. Although time inside the secret realm differs from time in the outside world, it must have lasted for at least several days.

According to Li Qiye's estimate, they should be in the secret realm for about seven or eight days.

Judging from the last time I entered the Goddess of War's dream world, the system distributes rewards according to the time in the outside world.

"It took about four days from when I entered our secret realm to when I came out."

These thoughts flashed quickly through Li Qiye's mind.

But at that moment, the system's voice rang in his mind.

[Playing it safe doesn't mean completely giving up. The journey to the secret realm and the merging of the two worlds have brought about the birth of a new world, a truly meritorious act.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully "laid slates back" and obtained a Divine Lord-level martial skill, the Samsara True Intent Fist!]

[Because the host has merged the two worlds into one, this fist technique has been sublimated, incorporating the true meaning of reincarnation, and has been upgraded to a supreme-level martial art!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully "laid slates flat" and obtained a special divine skill: Divine Netherworld Artifact Technique!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully "laid slates flat" and have obtained the supernatural power, Netherworld Divine Eye Technique!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed your "playing it cool" campaign and have obtained an upgradeable martial skill, "Traceless Sword Realm!"]

Sure enough, there were four types of rewards.

What Li Qiye didn't expect was that one of the rewards was the Traceless Sword Realm that Jian Wuhen had unleashed.

The Realm of Swords Without a Trace!

This is definitely an incredibly powerful sword technique.

If Li Qiye hadn't possessed the Heavenly Profound Divine Seal, which naturally restrained him, he would likely have been the one to lose.

"Now it seems that this sword technique may not have been created by Jian Wuhen in the world of God's Tomb, but rather a powerful sword technique created by him during his lifetime."

Li Qiye fell into deep thought. According to his aunt, Immortal Xiyue, Jian Wuhen was different from other Netherworld artifacts and was an exception.

When he appeared, he was a set of crystal-clear white bones that had not decayed even after countless years.

Moreover, spirits were born in the world of the Tomb of the Gods, which led to the existence of Jian Wuhen.

Clearly, Jian Wuhen was likely a top-tier expert in his lifetime, possibly reaching the Divine Lord realm. It's just unknown what he went through, but in the end, only a skeleton remained.

It should be understood that even if a true Divine Lord Realm expert perishes, their physical body remains intact. Unless they encounter an extremely terrifying enemy or some unpredictable situation, it is impossible for them to become like this.

Even so, his bones still stand tall between heaven and earth, immortal, like white jade.

"He may have had an accident, not encountered a powerful enemy, otherwise it is impossible that only his skeleton was left behind while his flesh and blood disappeared."

Li Qiye thought to himself.
