Chapter 4824: Taking the Risk

He was merely an peripheral member of the Duo Luo Kingdom.

One only needed to look at the puppet he controlled to know this.

He was only in charge of manipulating Lili'er No. 9.

As for Lili'er No. 0, her transformation capability, personal ability, cultivation, and so on, were incomparable to Lili'er No. 9.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were poles apart, a difference as vast as clouds and mud.

Duan Yue's expression grew cold with anger, and his hand unconsciously exerted more force. "It seems I'll have to search your soul after all."

"No, no, no, you can't search my soul!" A deep sense of terror flashed in the puppet master's eyes.

"Each, each of us Duo Luo people has a Soul Lock Pill planted in our spiritual sea. Once our soul is forcibly searched, it will trigger a self-detonation. At that time, not only will I be finished, but even you and those around you will be shaken and sent flying by the powerful blast."

Upon hearing this, the young servants all showed frightened expressions and instinctively retreated several steps.

Duan Yue looked coldly at the puppet master before him, seemingly evaluating whether his words were true or false.

"Ev-every word I say is true. If, if there is one lie to Your Majesty, I am willing to ac-accept heavenly punishment," the man said in fright, his face full of sincerity.

"Everyone, step back," Duan Yue said coldly.

Little Kezi's heart fluttered. He quickly stepped forward a few paces, lowering his head to advise, "Your Majesty, please do not put yourself at risk."

"Your Majesty, please allow your subordinate to attempt the soul search to see if this old man's words are true," a shadow guard stepped out from behind Ye, bowing with a serious expression.

How could Duan Yue be afraid of such a paltry, self-detonating soul body?

He shook his head and ordered the shadow guards, "All of you, retreat."

"Your Majesty!"

Duan Yue's gaze swept over everyone with chilling intensity.

Although Little Kezi was flustered, he knew that despite his Majesty's youth, his words and actions were always unwavering.

Since he had already decided, it meant no one could sway him.

Everyone retreated outside with grim expressions, exchanging glances.

Duan Yue's gaze fell on the puppet master. "To prove whether a person has concealed anything, it's best to check personally."

The puppet master hadn't expected that even after confessing everything, the other party still wouldn't let him go.

Moreover, he had already stated that a Soul Lock Pill was planted in his head, and a soul search would trigger a self-detonation.

Yet, this young emperor still refused to spare him, not leaving him a path to survival.

The puppet master's eyes immediately turned bloodshot, and he wanted to desperately fight Duan Yue out of shame and anger.

But could he?

He was held in Duan Yue's hand like a helpless little chick, his life's pulse clutched, unable to muster even a hint of resistance.

Duan Yue placed a hand on his head and gave him a cold look. "If you must blame someone, blame your master for provoking us."

"In the Yellow Springs and hell, don't seek revenge from the wrong person."

"Ah!" The puppet master let out an extremely harsh, hoarse roar.

Then he felt his spiritual sea being torn apart, and all his secrets flashed like a kaleidoscope, browsed by someone else.

There was no sound of an explosion.

Duan Yue slightly furrowed his brows, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

As expected, there was no such thing as a Soul Lock Pill in this person's head, as he had claimed.
