Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 1710: 1673: Who Is Lying?
Capítulo 1710: Chapter 1673: Who Is Lying?
“Aren’t you coming over quickly to face the challenge?”
The icy voice was like a machine, devoid of any emotion.
Everyone turned towards the sound.
They saw a blue-faced demon wielding a trident, squinting at Xiao Yi and the other four.
The five exchanged glances.
Xiao Yi stepped forward and cupped his hands towards the blue-faced demon, “May I ask how we are to take the test?”
“Follow me!”
The blue-faced demon showed no emotion, merely waved the trident, and turned away.
Xiao Yi and his companions had no choice but to follow closely.
A moment later.
They arrived at a pitch-black space.
The place was utterly dark.
As the five entered.
Torches around them began to ignite one by one, the raging flames illuminating the entire space.
A black, three-headed hound lay on the ground.
Each of its necks was wrapped with a massive chain, binding the three-headed hound tightly in the black space, preventing it from moving freely.
When Xiao Yi and the others entered.
The three-headed hound immediately lifted its heads, its six eyes swiveling, exuding a cold, sharp glint.
Its scarlet tongues flicked out from its mouths.
Emitting a guttural sound.
Drool dripped from its mouths.
When it hit the ground.
The sturdy floor hissed, corroding into countless potholes of varying sizes.
“Silence!”
The blue-faced demon waved the trident, quieting the three-headed hound before looking at Xiao Yi and his group, “This three-headed hound can distinguish good from evil, truth from lies. Soon, it will ask you some questions; whoever lies will be identified by the fists of the hound and will remain in this Hell of Tongue-Ripping to suffer torment. If you pass the test, you can move on to the next layer of hell…”
“What kind of questions do we need to answer?”
“There must be some direction, right?”
The group asked.
The blue-faced demon glanced at them and said flatly, “All questions come from the three-headed hound. I have no idea what it will ask.” Pausing briefly, the blue-faced demon exited the space, leaving only his voice echoing within, “Good luck!”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The door at the entrance slammed shut with a loud crash.
The chains binding the three-headed hound rattled and broke apart.
Roar!
Bark…
The three-headed hound let out a deep, ear-splitting growl, clearly a formidable creature on par with the Half-Step Saint Emperor Level.
It had been sealed by the chains’ strongest presence.
Now, unrestrained by the chains.
The three-headed hound fully exposed its wild and bloodthirsty nature, its blood-red eyes fixed on Xiao Yi and his companions. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The cold glint in its eyes seemed as if it could devour anyone at any moment.
As if it would open its gaping maw and swallow everyone whole.
“Close your eyes! Block out all perception!”
The three-headed hound’s voice echoed in their ears.
All three heads turned towards them, its scarlet tongues licking its lips, exuding a bloodthirsty madness.
The group exchanged glances.
Each felt a twinge of unease deep down; after all, the three-headed hound before them was so savage and aggressive, its sharp fangs seemed capable of tearing a Saint King apart. Faced with such a powerful creature, how could they truly dare to close their eyes and cut off all perception?
If it took a bite while they shut their eyes and severed senses.
They wouldn’t even know how they died…
The group hesitated.
Xiao Yi said, “Stand behind me!”
With the strength of his Sacred Body, even an attack from a Saint Emperor couldn’t easily bring him down.
This was his confidence to stand at the front.
Wolf Fang and Lei Peng naturally trusted Xiao Yi completely and stood behind him.
Zeng Sheng and Zeng Qing exchanged looks, finding no alternative, they obediently followed behind Lei Peng and Wolf Fang.
“Close your eyes!”
Xiao Yi took a deep breath and was the first to close his eyes, shutting out all sensation from the outside world.
Lei Peng and Wolf Fang followed suit.
Zeng Sheng and Zeng Qing looked at each other and closed their eyes as well.
Without sight.
Cut off from spiritual perception.
They were like ordinary people lost in darkness.
However…
In their minds, an angry roar erupted: “Someone among you has their eyes open, someone is deceiving me, all of you open your eyes, open…”
The furious voice was like thunder shaking the heavens.
It exploded in the minds of the five.
Xiao Yi’s heart skipped a beat, and he opened his eyes sharply.
“Someone deceived him? Who?”
“Isn’t this harming others? Who exactly is it, stand up yourself…” Wolf Fang was enraged, his eyes bloodshot from seething anger.
He never expected someone to drop the ball at such a crucial moment.
Lei Peng’s face darkened, his and Wolf Fang’s gaze first fell on the Zeng brothers: “Which one of you opened your eyes?”
Zeng Qing retorted angrily, “Not me!”
Zeng Sheng shook his head too, “Nor I!”
“Not you?”
Wolf Fang did not believe them, sneering, “If not you, then who? Don’t think we don’t know, you must have not fully trusted us and secretly opened your eyes.”
“Admit it quickly yourself, don’t drag us down…” Lei Peng said.
Zeng Qing gritted his teeth, “I swear, if I opened my eyes may I not die well.”
Zeng Sheng’s face was sullen, “The same goes for me!”
Wolf Fang and Lei Peng exchanged a glance.
Seeing the two so confident and assured, they were indecisive, and could only turn to Xiao Yi: “Master, what do you think we should do?”
Xiao Yi’s gaze swept across the four, asking, “Are you sure you didn’t open your eyes?”
“No!”
“Absolutely not!”
All four spoke up.
Xiao Yi slowly withdrew his gaze. From their determined eyes, he couldn’t detect anything.
Moreover…
He didn’t think anyone would be so foolish to do such a thing at this time.
Xiao Yi looked up at the furious three-headed hound: “Are you sure someone among us opened their eyes?”
“Yes!”
The three-headed hound roared repeatedly, “There is a liar among you, deceiving me and also deceiving you. Today’s test is to find out who the liar is. For every wrong guess, I will kill one of you until the real liar is found!”
Boom!
The three-headed hound pounded the ground fiercely.
The entire ground gleamed as a sky-covering array encased them.
The array’s core was the three-headed hound itself.
With its Half-Step Saint Emperor cultivation, and this formation, even a Saint Emperor couldn’t handle it.
No wonder this beast had such boldness and confidence to claim it could resolve anyone lying single-handedly.
The three-headed hound spoke, “Tell me, who do you think is lying?”
They all looked at one another in dismay.
Who was lying?
The Zeng brothers?
Wolf Fang?
Lei Peng?
Or perhaps Xiao Yi?
What should they decide?
Everyone looked troubled…
