Chapter 1335: Truth Hearing Talent
At that moment, a sharp and miserable scream echoed through. A black figure shot out from somewhere, crashing heavily onto the ground. It was none other than the girl in a black robe.
Liu Ming was startled. The purple protective aura on the girl in a black robe had dimmed, and her purple hair was disheveled. It was evident that she was already at the end of her strength.
Especially her shoulder was pierced by a thick bone spear, bleeding profusely.
The girl in a black robe’s purple longbow fell not far away. The little purple cauldron glowed in dimmer light, emitting a faint purple glow. It protected the girl in a black robe, but it was no longer useful now.
Amidst the eerie laughter, the blood-red skeleton pounced toward the girl in a black robe. It launched 5 blood-colored bone spears at the immobile girl, wanting to kill her in this blow.
A hint of determination flashed in the girl in a black robe’s eyes. Just as she was about to make a move, Liu Ming’s figure stood before her.
After a flash of black light, followed by several muffled sounds, the incoming blood-colored spears were broken.
The blood-red skeleton seemed slightly surprised as it stopped.
“You…” The blood-red skeleton said.
Then, it looked to the side, where a silver-armored skeleton lay quietly on the ground with its head and body separated.
The girl in a black robe also saw the death of the silver-armored skeleton. She looked at Liu Ming with a surprised look.
“Hehe! Useless! Actually died in the hands of a Celestial State intermediate stage demon!” The blood-red skeleton sneered, and it turned its eyes back to Liu Ming and the girl.
“It’s good that you’re dead. These 2 delicacies belong to me now. I’ll devour your bones as well when the time comes.” The blood-red skeleton grinned and lunged toward Liu Ming.
“Fool!” Liu Ming sneered. He waved his hands and released the 12 Mountain River Pearls again.
The blood-red skeleton was taken aback. The 12 Mountain River Pearls emitted immense spiritual pressure. Especially the 3 immortal pearls stirred up its fear, making it stop involuntarily.
Liu Ming waved his hands. 12 Mountain River Pearls shone brightly. The yellow cloud emerged again, enveloping the blood-red skeleton in an instant, then he flew into the yellow cloud afterward.
The girl in a black robe looked at the turbulent yellow cloud with flickering eyes, then she struggled to sit up, pulled out the bone spear on her shoulder, and took a few elixirs.
After a while, her complexion had somewhat recovered.
At this moment, Liu Ming flew out from the yellow cloud not far away.
The cloud dissipated with a rumble, transformed back into 12 Mountain River Pearls, and flew into Liu Ming’s sleeve.
The blood-red skeleton, which was initially aggressive, was lying dead on the ground like the silver-armored skeleton on the other side.
A series of fierce battles made Liu Ming’s face look pale. He consumed an elixir, glanced at the girl in a black robe, and walked to the corpse of the blood-red skeleton.
The girl in a black robe’s eyes flashed, and her mouth moved slightly, but she didn’t speak in the end.
Liu Ming released a puff of black air to keep away the 2 Mystic Comprehending State skeletons and the white daggers formed by the arms of the silver-armored skeleton. The daggers were clearly not ordinary magic weapon for having such might. He could study it later when he had the time.
At this moment, Mo Tian emerged in a flash.
“Not bad. The 2 Mystic Comprehending State skeletons must be extraordinary. They must have been elites of the ancient demon race! With these, I’m sure I can condense most of my demon body.” Mo Tian couldn’t help but show a look of great joy.
“Since that’s the case, I hope you won’t forget the previous promise.” Li Ming said faintly, then he looked at the altar.
Although Liu Ming had defeated the 2 Mystic Comprehending State skeletons, the giant bone cage trapping the entire hall remained.
The girl in a black robe also noticed the situation. Knowing that she could not escape through the bone cage, she simply sat cross-legged on the ground. Her beautiful face was expressionless, and those bright jet-black eyes also looked at Liu Ming.
Liu Ming approached the girl in a black robe.
The girl in a black robe looked directly at Liu Ming. The two of them didn’t speak for a moment.
As Mo Tian explained, he glanced sideways at Liu Ming. Seeing no expression on his face, he continued with a smile,
“We had some misunderstandings with the central imperial previously. I was worried that the Huangfu Family would seek revenge. To make this trip to the secret realm go smoothly, I can only trouble Your Highness. When this matter is over, I will let you…”
“Enough with the pretentious words. There’s no need to beat around the bush. We’ve come this far, so why bother with such insincere talk?” The girl in a black robe interrupted Mo Tian in a cold voice without waiting for Mo Tian to finish.
“What do you mean?” Mo Tian asked indifferently.
“I have heard that you guys discussed in a cave earlier that you want to use me as a sacrifice.” The girl in a black robe sneered.
Mo Tian’s expression turned gloomy when he heard this. Then, he assessed the girl in a black robe. His eyes stayed on her ears for a moment, then he understood the situation.
“It turns out that you have the rare Truth Hearing Talent. Tsk tsk, you’re so lucky.” Mo Tian murmured to himself.
“Truth Hearing Talent?” Liu Ming, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke out.
“The so-called Truth Hearing Talent is a rare and unique demon race talent. Those with this ability have incredibly sensitive hearing. One can even hear the sounds or even entire conversation through the soundproof enchantment.” Mo Tian glanced at Liu Ming and explained lightly.
Liu Ming was taken aback by that. He glanced at the girl in a black robe with a slight twinkle in his eyes.
“It is said that the Truth Hearing talent has other magical effects. It is rumored that those who have cultivated this talent to the highest level can hear every sound and even the thoughts in people’s minds.” Mo Tian’s eyes stared at the girl in a black robe as he continued to explain.
Although Mo Tian didn’t continue explaining, Liu Ming’s heart skipped a beat. The girl in a black robe must have cultivated this talent to a proficient level, so she could hear them when she was unconscious.
Thinking of this, Liu Ming looked at the girl in a black robe differently, but there were still no changes on his expression.
“Since this girl has seen through our plan, let’s imprison her so as not to cause any trouble. When necessary, we can just use her as a sacrifice.” Mo Tian’s tone became serious.
Liu Ming nodded. He raised one hand. A translucent Mountain River Pearl emerged from the palm of his hand.
Seeing that Liu Ming was about to make a move, the girl’s beautiful eyes flickered a few times, and she said something that made Mo Tian frown.
“I never expected a smart person like you would listen to a demon soul. Be careful not to be deceived and end up suffering a bitter fate!”
The girl in a black robe’s voice was not loud, but Liu Ming narrowed his eyes when he heard her words.
Liu Ming already had doubts about many of Mo Tian’s actions. Although he had been secretly on guard, he had been unable to find any definite evidence. After all, as far as the current situation was concerned, many things Mo Tian had done had benefited him a lot.
However, after listening to the words of the girl in a black robe, Liu Ming couldn’t help but have doubts.
“Boy Liu, don’t believe this girl’s nonsense. She is trying to drive a wedge between us. Don’t fall into her traps!” Mo Tian’s eyes flashed, and he shouted.
“There’s no need to be in a hurry. Let’s listen to what she has to say.” Liu Ming stopped his actions and said calmly as if he didn’t hear Mo Tian’s words.
“If you’re not plotting against him, why did you integrate an avatar’s soul power and bloodline power into his body? You want to seize his physical body directly when the time is right.” The girl in a black robe looked at Mo Tian and sneered.
“That’s nonsense!” Mo Tian denied it.
“What evidence do you have for saying this?” Liu Ming looked at the girl in a black robe and asked blankly.
“If you don’t believe it, just imprison me and see if what I said is true when the death is imminent.” The girl in a black robe raised her chest and said proudly.
“Go on. If what you said is true, I can let you go.” Liu Ming said plainly as he retrieved the Mountain River Pearl.
“You…” Seeing this, a look of shock and anger briefly surfaced on Mo Tian’s face, followed by an uncertain expression.
Based on his understanding of Liu Ming, it would be futile for him to say anything else once Liu Ming said so.
“If I remember correctly, the demon soul requires my body as a sacrifice to break a certain enchantment.” The girl in a black robe looked at Liu Ming and said.
“That’s right.” Since the matter had come to this point, Liu Ming didn’t want to hide anything anymore.
Mo Tian stared at this woman blankly without speaking.
“His objective is the Inner Abyss. There’s a secret treasure in the Demon Abyss Tower, the Celestial Mirror.” The girl in a black robe continued.
When Liu Ming heard the name “Celestial Mirror”, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. He immediately thought of Mo Tian’s immortal magic weapon Celestial Tablet.
If what the girl in a black robe said was true, the two items should have some kind of connection.
As soon as Liu Ming thought of this, he glanced at Mo Tian with peripheral vision. Seeing that Mo Tian had an indifferent face and didn’t deny it, he already had some guesses. Then, he muttered to himself,
“Inner Abyss, Demon Abyss Tower…”
The names of these 2 places were not mentioned in the map jade slip given by Mo Tian.
