Zi Lingling's expression drastically changed.
Although she knew that the person currently occupying Mo Qingcheng's body was not Mo Qingcheng herself, she was still greatly shocked.
This was because, ever since she comprehended the Law of Life and integrated it into her spirit skills, no one had ever recognized it with a single sentence.
In the path of cultivation, without reaching a certain realm, it was difficult to easily pinpoint its profound mysteries.
It was like a primary school student suddenly encountering a high school solid geometry problem, but not directly mentioning the term "solid geometry."
Moreover, for a thousand years, no one on the Tianyuan Continent had broken through the shackles of the Saint King realm, so it was impossible for them to understand so much about what was needed to comprehend realms above the Saint King realm.
Of course, Zi Lingling was an exception; after all, she had a millennium-old monster in her Nine Spirit Ring!
Ye Lingyuan was also an exception because the seal within his body was constantly loosening, and his memories and insights from his past life would continuously recover.
And now, since "Mo Qingcheng" knew about the power of laws, it meant that the other party was at least at the Minor God realm, or had reached the Minor God realm before.
Judging from the current situation, the other party likely belonged to the latter.
Also, from the way the other party spoke just now, they seemed to be extremely disdainful of the Tianyuan Continent, which meant that they were not from the Tianyuan Continent.
If that was the case, were there other continents besides the Tianyuan Continent?
However, these were not the matters Zi Lingling needed to consider right now.
"Who exactly are you?"
The wariness in Zi Lingling's eyes intensified.
Her current strength was more than enough to contend with peak Saint Kings, but to fight against a Minor God across four major realms would be no different from seeking death.
"Hehehe!"
Yue Wudi's sinister voice echoed, "The little girl is quite perceptive, but why should I tell you?"
"This seat?"
Zi Lingling's expression changed again. Those who could refer to themselves as "this seat" were either the leaders of a faction or high-ranking members of a faction.
It seemed that the other party also had some power behind them.
"Hmph! If you won't say, then I'll beat it out of you!"
Zi Lingling's gaze turned cold, and the scalpel in her hand, imbued with blade light, slashed out.
She did not hide her strength, after all, the opponent had at least been a peak Minor God in the past, and even if their realm had fallen due to some reason, it was not something she could afford to be careless with.
Yue Wudi smiled sinisterly and said, "Little girl, attacks at your level cannot harm this seat!"
With that, without any excessive movements, he merely waved his right hand, and a stream of dark energy flew out, directly colliding with Zi Lingling's blade light.
The blade light shattered, turning into spiritual energy elements and disappearing into the air.
Zi Lingling frowned. That single strike was already her strongest attack without resorting to special means.
Yet, it was so easily neutralized by the opponent, which showed that the opponent's strength had far exceeded her estimations.
Yue Wudi was also secretly shocked.
He had initially thought that Zi Lingling was merely at the peak of the Spirit Gathering realm, so how strong could her attacks be?
But he had not expected that Zi Lingling's attack was comparable to a peak Saint King, forcing him to use fifty percent of his strength.
The peak of the Spirit Gathering realm was comparable to the peak of the Saint King realm. This girl was too monstrous, wasn't she?
Yue Wudi put away his initial contempt and became much more cautious.
However, due to the hood of his cloak, Zi Lingling did not see the change in his expression.
Although Zi Lingling was shocked, how could she reveal her true thoughts?
She sneered, "Is that all? It seems your strength has fallen quite severely!"
Outwardly dismissive, inwardly serious!
Indeed, she was the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor who could hide her emotions from outsiders!
Indeed, she was the Zi family head possessed by an actor!
Now it was Yue Wudi's turn for his expression to change drastically.
The fact that he had been severely injured, fallen to the Tianyuan Continent, and his realm had declined was something only he knew.
He hadn't even told Mo Qingcheng, his puppet.
So, the question was, how did Zi Lingling know that his realm had declined?
Yue Wudi said sinisterly, "How did you know?"
Zi Lingling chuckled playfully, "Naturally, I guessed! You don't think I, like you, have a brain that's just for show, do you?"
She could insult without using vulgar language, and if she claimed to be second, no one would dare to be first.
Yue Wudi was enraged.
As a Demon Lord who had lived for who knew how long, how could he not recognize the insult in Zi Lingling's words?
He reprimanded, "Little girl, a person who is arrogant brings no good; a dog who is arrogant gets hit with bricks! You... have gone too far!"
"Have I gone too far?" Zi Lingling sneered sarcastically, "Today was supposed to be a duel between me and Mo Qingcheng. You, a person who doesn't know north from south, suddenly butt in. Who exactly has gone too far?"
A certain simple-minded bystander asked with shame, "May I ask esteemed individuals, what exactly is a 'person who doesn't know north from south'?"
A certain bystander, who considered himself highly learned, enlightened them, "Not knowing north from south naturally means knowing things, so a person who doesn't know north from south is still a thing!"
The words were convoluted, leaving the surrounding onlookers bewildered.
But upon careful consideration, they felt it was quite classic.
On Soul Severing Cliff, laughter erupted.
And Zi Lingling's remark became a common saying for many people from then on.
While the crowd enjoyed themselves, Yue Wudi's face turned dark.
The rage within him surged, and a sinister aura spread out.
Damn it! This girl's mouth is too vicious!
Yue Wudi finally understood the frustration Mo Qingcheng felt when arguing with her.
"Hmph!"
He snorted coldly and gritted his teeth, "If this seat doesn't tear your mouth off, I won't be called Yue Wudi!"
As his words fell, his body was enveloped in dark energy.
He waved his right hand, and a stream of dark energy shot towards Zi Lingling.
A hint of solemnity flashed in Zi Lingling's eyes, and her Phantom Dragon Step continuously shifted.
At the same time, she smiled knowingly, "So your name is Yue Wudi! A nice name, just a bit lonely!"
Only then did Yue Wudi realize that he had fallen into the other party's taunt and revealed his name.
He secretly marveled at Zi Lingling's cunning.
With just a few seemingly chaotic words, she had managed to entrap even an old Demon Lord like him.
And when Zi Lingling heard the name "Yue Wudi," her heart was thrown into turmoil.
If she remembered correctly, her cheap mother's name was Yue Wumei!
Then, was this person before her related to her cheap mother?
It wasn't that she was speaking without basis; it was the first thought that popped into her mind upon hearing the name.
No! She had to find out.
But if she asked directly, Yue Wudi would certainly not tell her.
It seemed she had to continue provoking him with words and seize the opportunity to extract information.
Having made up her mind, Zi Lingling's caution increased by another notch.
After all, the opponent's cultivation was not low. If she completely angered him, she would have to exert all her strength to resist his attacks.
