Chapter 482: He Wuzhiqi

“Witch God?”

“You’re just a projection of consciousness, not even a clone. Who are you trying to scare?”

When Liang Yu uttered those two words, there was no reaction from the other side, but Shangguan Ye, who was beside him, had an extremely rich facial expression.

At this moment, he turned his gaze to him. If what the Armored Demon God said was true, the other party’s spirit was merely residing in that monster just now.

Then the situation would be much better; at least he could still fight, and it wouldn’t be a three-to-seven split.

It was easy to deal with the Witch God, but facing the Armored Demon God and his Golden Dragon simultaneously put him under an extraordinary amount of pressure.

If they truly fought here, the entire city would likely be reduced to nothing. As the Lord of the city, he naturally had to consider the citizens and soldiers within it.

While he was thinking, he answered Liang Yu’s first question.

He revealed a very human-like smile.

“Witch God?”

“I am not him, and there is no such god as the Witch God.”

“Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wu Zhiqi; this is what you humans call me.”

After introducing himself, he looked at Liang Yu, his meaning already very clear: ‘Tit for tat, I’ve introduced myself, now it’s your turn.’

Liang Yu listened to his introduction, continuously repeating the other party’s name.

“Wu Zhiqi?”

“Wu Zhiqi, Wu Zhiqi…”

Liang Yu always felt that this name sounded familiar, but he couldn’t recall where he heard it. However, he also confirmed one thing: although he said he wasn’t the Witch God, since his name was Wu Zhiqi, how could he not be the Witch God mentioned by the Black-robed Man?

As for his own introduction, he had already thought it through.

“So, you are Wu Zhiqi.”

“I am the agent of the Bright Realm’s Heavenly Dao. You may call me Emperor.”

This time, Shangguan Ye, who was beside him, was stunned again. No wonder he felt such immense pressure from the other party; it turned out he was the agent of the Heavenly Dao.

However, he also inwardly complained, wondering if the other party’s title was a bit too arrogant.

Wu Zhiqi’s thoughts differed from Shangguan Ye’s; he wasn’t concerned about that. What he heard were the words ‘Bright Realm’.

Feeling the aura on the other party, there was no connection to the Bright Realm, making him suspect that Liang Yu was trying to fool him.

“Bright Realm?”

This time, Liang Yu didn’t speak. He stretched out his hand and wrote the two characters ‘Bright Realm’ in the air, serving as his answer to Wu Zhiqi.

There was nothing wrong with the two of them introducing themselves, but it made Shangguan Ye uncomfortable. He even worried that these two Demon Gods would suddenly attack if they disagreed, devastating the city.

Wu Zhiqi did not act rashly like Shangguan Ye thought he would. He closed his eyes, pondering what this ‘Bright Realm’ the other party mentioned was all about.

Wu Zhiqi kept his eyes tightly shut, fully concentrating on searching his mind for any clues related to the Bright Realm.

Time passed bit by bit, every second feeling like an eternity. Wu Zhiqi continuously replayed past memories, ancient, dust-covered scenes surging through his mind like a tide, yet not a single trace of the Bright Realm could be found.

His heart gradually sank to the bottom.

“How could there be nothing? Could the information about this Bright Realm have been deliberately erased?”

Wu Zhiqi pondered silently, confusion and bewilderment intertwining and surging in his chest.

He couldn’t find anything, not even a single piece of information related to the Bright Realm.

Even his gaze towards Liang Yu changed. He had originally intended to seize it by force, but the so-called Bright Realm’s Heavenly Dao made him extremely wary.

He didn’t fully believe what Liang Yu said, but currently, he didn’t dare to gamble. Now that he had finally seized a glimmer of opportunity, if there truly was a Heavenly Dao behind the other party, then all their years of planning would be for naught.

His tone also softened a bit, at least placing Liang Yu on an equal footing with himself.

“I need an item. I wonder if Emperor would be willing to part with it?”

At this point, Liang Yu lowered his head and scanned his entire body, even looking twice, only to find that he had nothing on him. And ‘part with it’?

Liang Yu wondered if Wu Zhiqi, asking him to ‘part with something’, would next ask for his life. But the atmosphere didn’t seem to suggest that.

Alas, there really wasn’t anything on him that a Demon God would covet, was there?

Seeing Liang Yu searching, Wu Zhiqi understood what was going on and continued to elaborate.

“What I wish to borrow is the crystal in your belt.”

After Wu Zhiqi pointed it out, Shangguan Ye also looked over, not for any other reason than to know what kind of treasure something even a Demon God desired could be.

Upon hearing what the other party wanted, Liang Yu’s face inside the armor instantly showed a strange expression.

There were only six crystals on his belt in total: five elemental crystals and a Tai Chi crystal.

He guessed that the other party’s target was definitely the Tai Chi crystal. As for the five elemental crystals, he thought the other party probably wouldn’t care for them.

Things were exactly as Liang Yu had guessed; Wu Zhiqi wanted precisely that black and white Tai Chi crystal.

He kept watching Liang Yu, awaiting his answer.

Regarding the Tai Chi crystal, he subconsciously glanced at his backpack, guessing that he had collected many of them when he cleared out the toy warehouse.

At this moment, he took a Tai Chi crystal out of his backpack and levitated it in his palm.

However, this action made Wu Zhiqi’s face turn extremely ugly.

When Liang Yu handed over that Tai Chi crystal, it was directly shattered by Wu Zhiqi in mid-air.

He forcefully suppressed his anger and questioned.

“Are you humiliating me?”

“Or do you think that because my true body cannot descend, I can be manipulated by you?”

The atmosphere instantly became tense, reaching a point of confrontation. Shangguan Ye, beside them, also grew nervous, secretly praying that the other party wouldn’t make a move, or if they did, that it would be somewhere else.

Liang Yu only realized the problem belatedly.

He scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

That one just now really was just a replica Tai Chi crystal, not one modified with a cheat engine; it was just a toy. No wonder the other party thought he was humiliating him.

Liang Yu could only pretend that nothing had happened and pointed to the Tai Chi crystal on his belt.

“You’ve seen it, this Tai Chi crystal is the only one. How do you expect me to give it to you?”

“If I don’t give it, are you planning to take it by force?”

Seeing that Liang Yu had given him an opening, Wu Zhiqi also did not want to antagonize this agent of the Heavenly Dao.

So, he settled for a compromise and said.

“Since Your Excellency Emperor cannot part with it, then I hope you will allow me to borrow it for a while.”

“If Your Excellency Emperor is willing, I can do one thing for him.”

“Anything you ask, anything at all.”

Hearing Wu Zhiqi’s words, Liang Yu naturally needed to consider it carefully.

A Demon God’s promise was equivalent to an unconditional intervention on his behalf once.

And the other party said, ‘anything at all,’ implying that if he could say it, it could be done.

So Liang Yu had a bold idea, and at the same time, he wanted to test the other party.
