The fake demon lord shook his head and explained, "I only know the whereabouts of the Hot Sea Divine Spring. As for the other divine springs, I really don't know."
"Really?"
Two sharp beams of light shot from Li Yao's eyes, startling the fake Demon Lord so much that he trembled all over.
The fake Demon Lord hurriedly explained, "Since the ancient war between the three races, Shennong Jiuquan has been missing. No one knows where Jiuquan is. Chonglou sent people to search everywhere, but in the end, they only found out the whereabouts of Rehai Shenquan."
"So, Chonglou has already taken over the Divine Spring of Rehai?"
Li Yao frowned and asked.
"No!"
The fake demon lord shook his head and said:
"In the beginning, the hot spring of the Divine Sea gathered the most yang energy, a place where heaven and earth boiled, and the intense spiritual energy within it was in perfect harmony with the nature of the beast race."
"However, the Divine Spring of the Hot Sea has now become a source of life force, providing a continuous flow of life force and an inexhaustible water source in the scorching desert."
"Therefore, Chonglou no longer finds this Hot Sea Divine Spring appealing!"
Li Yao nodded slightly and asked, "Didn't Chonglou find the whereabouts of the other divine springs?"
"Before I left the Demon Realm, Chonglou had indeed not found the whereabouts of the other divine springs."
"That's what the fake demon lord replied."
Then, with a pleading look on his face, he said, "I have already told you the whereabouts of the Hot Sea Divine Spring. Can you let me go now?"
"Let you go?"
"You merely revealed the location of the Divine Spring of the Hot Sea, and you actually expect me to release you?"
Li Yao sneered.
"However, I only know the whereabouts of the Hot Sea Divine Spring. If I knew the whereabouts of the other divine springs, I would tell them everything and would never dare to hide anything!"
The fake demon lord's expression tensed up again.
His strong will to survive made him dare not easily offend Li Yao.
Li Yao's eyes darted around, and he asked, "How about this? If you tell me how you obtained the three demonic artifacts, I will spare your life."
"this……"
The fake demon lord hesitated.
"Hmm? Don't you want to tell me?"
Li Yao's face darkened.
The fake demon lord hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I'll talk, I'll talk..."
"You'd better tell the truth, don't try to deceive me with lies!"
Li Yao said in a deep voice.
"No, no, absolutely not!"
The fake demon lord's face grew increasingly pale.
He paused for a moment, organized his thoughts, and explained:
"Three years ago, when I was still in the Demon Realm, a man in purple robes suddenly appeared in front of me and told me the whereabouts of the three demonic artifacts."
"At that time, I had the idea of obtaining the three demonic artifacts, eliminating the Demon Lord Chonglou, and becoming the new Demon Lord."
"So, I led my demon army to defect from the demon realm and enter the human realm to search for the three demon artifacts, following the guidance of the man in purple."
"I never expected that I would actually find the whereabouts of the three magical artifacts."
Li Yao muttered to himself thoughtfully, "The man in purple? Who could this man in purple be? And how does he know the whereabouts of the Three Demonic Artifacts?"
Although he spoke softly, the fake demon lord still heard him.
The fake Demon Lord quickly shook his head and said, "I don't know who the man in purple is, nor do I know how he knows the whereabouts of the Three Demon Artifacts."
"Did you get a clear look at the man in purple?"
Li Yao asked the question.
"No!"
The fake demon lord thought for a moment and said:
“The man in purple had his back to me the whole time, and I tried to see what he looked like.”
"I didn't expect him to be so elusive and fast. As soon as I flashed to his front, I still saw his back."
"He also warned me not to try to see his face clearly, otherwise it would be fatal."
"At that time, I felt the murderous aura emanating from him, which was extremely terrifying, and I knew that I was definitely no match for him."
"So, I never dared to look at his face again."
According to the fake demon lord's account, this purple-clad man is very mysterious, yet he is very knowledgeable about ancient matters.
Moreover, the purple-clad man deliberately revealed the whereabouts of the three demonic artifacts to the fake Demon Lord, which must have concealed a shocking conspiracy.
However, Li Yao is now more interested in Shennong Jiuquan.
Chapter 472 Waste Utilization
"I've told you everything. Can you let me go now?"
The fake demon lord asked cautiously.
His tone was extremely humble, and he dared not offend Li Yao in the slightest.
"Of course, I always keep my word!"
Li Yao nodded slightly and said calmly, "You can leave now!"
"real?"
The fake demon lord was secretly pleased, thinking to himself, "I didn't expect this guy to be so trustworthy."
However, he will never forget the grudge he suffered today.
He thought that if he could become powerful in the future, he would definitely kill Li Yao to avenge today's humiliation.
Of course, these were just his thoughts.
He dared not reveal anything until he was out of danger.
He struggled to his feet, enduring the excruciating pain, and stumbled as he ran out of the stone hall.
"Husband, are you really going to spare his life?"
Xiao Bai blinked, looking at Li Yao with a puzzled expression.
Based on her understanding of Li Yao, she knew that Li Yao wouldn't let the fake Demon Lord off so easily.
"I always keep my word. Since I said I would spare his life, I will never go back on my word!"
Li Yao said calmly.
Then, a strange smile appeared on his face, and he changed the subject: "However, this fake demon lord has committed many evils, so how can we let him leave so easily and continue to harm the world?"
Before Xiaobai could react, Li Yao activated his hand seals, pointing his right sword at the back of the fake demon lord.
A hissing sound.
A beam of light, as fast as lightning, shot out.
In an instant, with a soft "poof," light shot into the body of the fake demon lord.
"You...you actually...you actually went back on your word..."
The fake demon lord turned around in astonishment, pointing at Li Yao with eyes full of resentment.
The next moment, a loud bang was heard, and the fake demon lord's huge body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"I only said I would spare your life, I never said I would let you go!"
Li Yao smiled faintly.
"You're really cunning!"
Xiao Bai gave Li Yao a charming smile, then looked at the unconscious fake Demon Lord on the ground and asked, "What do you plan to do with this guy?"
Li Yao thought for a moment and said, "This guy is no good. Keeping him around will definitely make him a threat. However, I've already promised him I'd spare his life..."
Xiao Bai's eyes darted around, and he interrupted, "Why don't I kill him myself? That way you won't break your promise."
"I think you're the cunning one!"
Li Yao smiled and said, "However, this guy still has some use, so I plan to make use of him."
"Waste utilization?"
Xiao Bai frowned, looking bewildered.
"During our trip, we unexpectedly learned about Shennong Jiuquan."
"This Shennong Nine Springs is so powerful, I must find a way to get my hands on it."
"Now that we have found the whereabouts of the Divine Hot Spring, I plan to set off for the Western Desert to search for it."
"This trip will probably take us some time."
"Although Liu Jinyuan and I are only nominally master and apprentice, we still have that relationship after all."
"Therefore, I will leave a bodyguard for Liu Jinyuan to protect his safety."
Li Yao calmly offered an explanation.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai looked at the fake Demon Lord on the ground and asked, "You plan to have him protect Liu Jinyuan?"
"good!"
Li Yao nodded.
"But this guy is a great demon. How could he obediently listen to you and protect a tiny baby?"
