The Demon Monk shouted angrily like a bolt from the blue, "Speak!!"

The man grew increasingly pained.

Seeing it worked, the Demon Monk continued, "Hurry and speak!!"

Sssss...

Sssssss...

The second Dark Gold Evil Treasure Pearl was completely engulfed by the Changwang Tiger Pattern and disappeared.

Refinement progress, plus one!

...

The Demon Monk noticed a fleeting yet obscure mockery and mischief in the eyes of the man who was previously in deep agony, and then he placed his hand on the third Dark Gold Evil Treasure Pearl.

The Demon Monk fell silent.

And at that moment, the man who had shown mockery and mischief suddenly took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "She... she was killed by me. She was killed by my own hands! I... I had to do it! I was not wrong! I was not wrong!"

His voice trembled extremely, as if he was forcibly holding himself together.

If it were just a few breaths ago, the Demon Monk would certainly have used this as a flaw to shatter the opponent's Taoist heart at once.

It estimated that the person before it was someone extremely cold-hearted and ruthless, but since a Heart Demon indeed arose in the Illusion Realm, it could infinitely amplify his emotions, and even a tiny flaw in the heart could turn into a collapse.

But now, it had realized that this man was actually acting for it.

This man had no Heart Demon!

This man merely intended to "cooperate with its performance" to stall for time, allowing him sufficient time to refine the third pearl.

The Demon Monk abandoned its original plan, instead gazing sharply at those around it, its gaze suddenly sweeping towards Winter Lord.

Before it could speak, Song Yan had already spoken up.

Song Yan's voice was incredibly sincere.

"Winter Lord, hold off the Demon Monk for me, help me buy time, if I get out, the Human Race shall undoubtedly flourish!"

Demon Monk: ...

It quickly followed with, "Winter Lord, speed up! You and I have already sworn a Soul Oath, there's no way I could betray it. I will help you kill all demons!"

Song Yan said, "Evil demon, full of lies!"

The Demon Monk couldn't help but think, "You're not much different," but continued, "This kid's Realm is too low; even if he takes the Evil Treasure, it will only lead to his doom! He can't gain any benefit!"

One man and one demon, retorting against each other.

Winter Lord was clearly an "emotional type" of person, evident in her desperate vengeance against demons, and at this moment... she was being torn repeatedly by the words of Song Yan and the Demon Monk.

So, her actions were neither fast nor slow, just maintaining the status quo.

Song Yan quickly withdrew his gaze, knowing he didn't have much time left.

His thoughts rapidly spread, exploring the Dark Gold Pearl, and soon he felt a remnant thought, the remnant thought of the Tiger Emperor!

Song Yan hurriedly communicated his thought over: "Clan Leader, I am also a member of the Changwang Tiger Race, with Changwang Tiger Blood flowing in my veins. I will definitely annihilate the Fox and Wolf Races, and kill the Demon Monk to avenge our kin. Clan Leader, assist me!"

The Tiger Emperor's thought quickly returned, saying, "Open your mind, no need for refinement, I shall carry the Evil Treasure directly into your Divine Soul."

Song Yan accelerated the refining pace, with numerous Changwang spirits aiding him almost self-destructively to cleave through the heavy spirits on the Evil Treasure, then drilled inside, responding respectfully, "Then... Clan Leader, please prepare, the junior shall also adjust. You count to one hundred, and the junior shall open his mind and let you in."

The Tiger Emperor, being merely a remnant thought, although holding the advantage on its home ground, was but an inspector type of figure. It could prevent others from taking the Evil Treasure but could not take it itself, only partly controlling it, stopping others from invading.

After continuous invasions, especially the serious depletion from the Insect King and the Seven-tailed Demonic Fox wave, it had become extremely weak, weakened to the point of being vulnerable to having the Evil Treasure seized.

The Demon Monk originally intended to digest those Purple Mansion powerhouses, then swallow all nine Evil Treasures at once.

The Tiger Emperor's mind was indeed not as clear as it had been in life, seeing Song Yan being so earnest, it actually started counting.

"One..."

"Two..."

"Three..."

When it reached "thirteen," it suddenly felt something was amiss.

And the third Dark Gold Evil Treasure Pearl was already completely enveloped by Song Yan's Changwang Tiger Pattern.

Refinement progress, plus one!

...

The Tiger Emperor finally realized, knowing that its plan had been seen through, and angrily roared, "You daring junior, how dare you fool me!"

Song Yan ignored it, placing his hand on the fourth pearl.

To Song Yan, the Tiger Emperor clearly intended to use the remnant soul to possess him or control part of his body, so how could he agree?

The Tiger Emperor began mobilizing the remnant soul to oppose with all its might.

While the Tiger Emperor was roaring in anger, not far away the Demon Monk let out a scream, it was the scream of the Infant Wailer.

The six-tailed fox had finally been completely digested.

And seeing only six of the nine Evil Treasures left, the Demon Monk grew even more furious, accelerating digestion and targeting the weaker "Deer Demon" and "Ancient Tooth."

Its limit of endurance was "four pieces."

It had already felt the Tiger Emperor's rage.

The Tiger Emperor's remnant thought initially harbored a hint of indulgence and schadenfreude towards that bearer of "Changwang Tiger Blood," but now... the Tiger Emperor began opposing that person.

Though the Tiger Emperor was weak, it was extremely tenacious.

It actually gained some extra time.

Amid numerous power struggles, everyone was an enemy, everyone had a stance.

Interwoven massacres, differing slaughters, erupted in every direction.

And the surging aura of the Sea of Suffering increased endlessly, transforming into a gray curtain that swept out from behind the "Changwang Embroidery Ball."

Evidently, the massive change of the Changwang Embroidery Ball was intensifying the penetration towards the Sea of Suffering.

The distance between this Secret Realm and the Sea of Suffering became increasingly narrow.
