Instigation and Deception

[All the cards that are participating in the battle are chips.]

[The loser will lose these chips.]

[The above contract is still in effect]

[You must return to the Cruel Matriarch's manor at a suitable time to complete this bet]

[Furthermore]

[You've received an extremely high level Occultism ability: Instigation]

[You've been instigated by the other party and will definitely act according to the other party's instigation]

All the burning text appeared in front of Liu Ping's eyes, reminding him of what happened earlier.

When he finished reading it all, another line of small burning words appeared:

[Attention!]

[The other party's Occultism ability: Instigation, its level is close to your 'Deception']

[Both of them are top-level Occultism abilities]

[Existences who use such top-level abilities, other than nightmares, are all mysterious existences with great origins]

Liu Ping sighed.

That guy must have some bad intentions to get his hands on the cards in my hands, so he used [Instigation].

What a terrifying ability.

I've been fooled without even realizing it, and I didn't feel anything was wrong at all.

Everything was going according to the silver-haired old man's plan.

The only pity was.

He didn't know that he had a Nightmare's Embrace that could disguise himself as an inanimate object in the Nightmare Layer, so he wouldn't be eaten by monsters as soon as he came down.

That's why sometimes, he really needed some unknown trump cards.

Bam!

A soft sound.

The token card instantly turned into a torch that Liu Ping held in his hand.

The surrounding darkness was illuminated, revealing thick walls. Upon closer inspection, one could see that they were all built with human skeletons.

"I remember the last time I came here, it was a long time ago, the walls here were filled with people …"

Liu Ping muttered.

The card book suddenly opened and Cards jumped out one after another.

Li Zhangxue, Yana, Maria, Zhao Chanyi, Luo Xingchen, White Wolf.

Everyone looked around.

"The secret here is too terrifying, it's not something we can see or hear." White Wolf solemnly said.

"I can also feel the threat of death, my soul is also constantly being attacked, let's go back to the card book first!" Luo Xingchen said.

The two of them turned back into Cards and flew back into the card book.

Only four women remained.

Zhao Chanyi's eyes flickered, first looking at Li Zhangxue, then at Yana, then silently took a step back.

"May I ask who you are? When did you join Liu Ping's deck? "Yana asked Li Zhangxue.

"I'm Li Zhangxue, a sword cultivator from the cultivation world. Liu Ping saved me in the past, so I'm here to repay him." Li Zhangxue cupped his hands and said.

Yana's gaze softened. She imitated her cupped hands and said, "We will be partners in the future. I hope we can get along well."

"Of course, I have something urgent to tell Liu Ping," Li Zhangxue said seriously.

"What is it?" Liu Ping asked in surprise.

"Do you still remember the Huang Quan realm?" Li Zhangxue asked.

"Of course," Liu Ping said.

"Then do you remember how the Huang Quan realm's demons and deities came to help you?" Li Zhangxue asked again.

"Of course I remember. I've always been grateful to them," Liu Ping said seriously.

"Very well, Huang Quan is currently facing a great calamity, the Apocalypse is wreaking havoc in Huang Quan. Immediately come with me to save Huang Quan, then I'll personally send you back" Li Zhangxue said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she grabbed Liu Ping's hand and made a hand seal. "Ten Thousand Arts of the Universe, Dao returns to reincarnation. Let's go!"

Liu Ping had no time to react, and the surrounding was already surging wildly.

"Wait!"

Lady Agony, Maria, suddenly stood out and stopped Li Zhangxue's hand seal.

"What is it?" Li Zhangxue asked in surprise.

Maria didn't say anything and took out the Book of Truth.

Other than Liu Ping, a natural-born King of Deceit, almost no one would be able to lie in front of this book.

There was a small line of text written on the book:

[Li Zhangxue is lying, her true inner voice is as follows:]

[After I send Liu Ping to Huang Quan, I'll immediately destroy all the space tunnels, then he'll be mine!]

Dead silence.

In front of the empty and terrifying wall of bones, the terrifying atmosphere disappeared, replaced by another kind of atmosphere.

"This is between Liu Ping and me, it has nothing to do with a woman like you. What exactly do you want?" Li Zhangxue asked in annoyance.

"Of course it has to do with me." Maria patted Yana's shoulder, "My sister's business is my business."

"Could he be your sister's husband?" Li Zhangxue asked.

"He's going to be her husband sooner or later!" Maria said.

"Not your husband!" Li Zhangxue said.

"He's not your husband either!" Yana shouted.

Zhao Chanyi lowered her head and played with the corner of her clothes.

The book opened.

White Wolf and Luo Xingchen flew out and looked at them.

"How strange, why aren't they affected by the corrosion of this place?" White Wolf didn't understand.

"Because they didn't observe the environment at all, all their attention was on each other!" Luo Xingchen said seriously.

"No, I can't do it! It's too dangerous, I want to go back! "White Wolf said.

"Me too!" Luo Xingchen said.

The two of them turned back into cards and flew back into the Tome.

The world returned to silence.

It was a suffocating silence.

Liu Ping coughed lightly and waved his hand: "Alright, stop arguing, the more important thing now is to explore the secret of this place and find a way to save all of humanity."

"Shut up! It's none of your business! "

Yana, Maria and Li Zhangxue said in unison.

Liu Ping immediately went silent.

Zhao Chanyi was intimidated by their aura and couldn't help but take a step back.

As a Demon King …

As expected …

I don't dare to confront these terrifying human women.

This won't do!

Zhao Chanyi silently encouraged herself and made up her mind in her heart.

I must work hard to cultivate!

I must strive to trample these women under my feet one day!

Her aura changed and immediately attracted the attention of Yana and Li Zhangxue.

"Kitten? What are you thinking about? "Yana asked with a faint smile.

"Demon King Zhao Chanyi, I remember that we have fought hundreds of times and discussed this a long time ago." Li Zhangxue also narrowed her beautiful eyes and said.

"Haha, it's a misunderstanding, my two sisters misunderstood, I just wanted to stop the fight!"

Zhao Chanyi revealed a harmless smile and hid behind Liu Ping without a trace.

Her tail was trembling.

A woman who cultivated for three thousand years just to come back and snatch a man.

A woman whose memory couldn't be erased by time travel must remember Liu Ping and even want him to save her.

These two women are too scary … I can't win against them!

Liu Ping was a little discouraged.

He was clearly here to find a way to save humanity, but how did it end up like this?

At this moment.

Suddenly, an old voice resounded in the void around them.

"I didn't expect you to really obtain the qualifications to transcend mortality."

"You can indeed obtain that opportunity."

Liu Ping was energized and cupped his fists: "Senior, please give that opportunity to me."

"No!" The old voice said.

"Why? Didn't we agree? "Liu Ping asked curiously.

"Because you have lost the Sacred Spirit, without a spirit, even if you obtain that opportunity, you won't be able to make good use of it." The old voice said.

Liu Ping was stunned.

Yes.

Andrea.

She was the only Sacred Spirit, and also the only hope.

At this moment, where was she hiding?

The old voice sounded again:

"Go back, I can send you back. You have to hurry up and find the Sacred Spirit, bring her with you, then I can rest assured and give that opportunity to you."

"Okay, I will definitely bring her!" Liu Ping said.

"Finally, I have a piece of news for you."

"What?"

"The Tide of Nightmares is about to surge, from the Eternal Night to the junction of the two Void Pillars."

"The Eternal Night is about to perish!"

With that, Liu Ping's body emitted a bright light, and the surrounding space also began to fluctuate.

"Wait a minute!" Yana hurriedly stopped him.

"We haven't finished talking!" Maria also said.

"The outcome hasn't been decided yet!" Li Zhangxue held the Divine Sword and said.

The next second.

Shua.

The light of teleportation lit up.

Everyone flew back to the Tome That was held in Liu Ping's hand.

He turned into a blazing light and left through the void, instantly leaving the Nightmare Layer.

…

Cruel Matriarch's manor.

A secret room.

A light flashed.

Liu Ping walked out and sat on the sofa again.

The silver-haired old man's face twitched, and said with a deep gaze: "Not bad, you actually came back."

"Of course I can come back." Liu Ping poured himself a glass of wine and gulped it down.

"From the looks of it, it is indeed very dangerous down there?" The silver-haired old man asked.

"Yes, there is no one down there, especially suitable for quarreling and fighting. This is the safest place, I definitely don't want to go down for the time being."

Liu Ping said from the bottom of his heart.

The silver-haired old man carefully observed the changes in his expression, his heart filled with confusion and doubt.

This kid, why does he look like he just survived a disaster?

The two of them glanced at each other.

Liu Ping threw away his thoughts and quickly began to think about how to deal with this old man.

The other party is' instigating ', while I am' deceiving '.

How was he going to get away?

The silver-haired old man was also filled with doubts.

The seven Devil Kings are already dead.

Although this guy looks scared, he still came back in one piece.

Could it be that he is really a hidden expert?

That would be really troublesome …

The silver-haired old man narrowed his eyes, and tapped the table with his finger.

"Then, shall we continue with our card game?" He probed.

"Continue." Liu Ping said.

Just then, the door to the secret room was pushed open.

Midea walked in.

"My lords, I am here to inform you."

"The gathering has ended, all the guests have been sent away by me."

She showed a satisfied smile, and gently wiped the corner of her mouth with a snow-white handkerchief.
