Capítulo 627: Chapter 641: Tearing Off the Mask

Terino was still dizzy from the slap he had received from Mu Can, but all his doubts had been dispelled. Such behavior was precisely what should be expected of the Dragon Demon Clan. If it were someone else, who would dare to slap him in the face?

“May I ask what you need the Nine-colored Fire Lotus for?” Terino looked eagerly at Mu Can, lacking the shrewdness he had before, with even tears shimmering in his eyes.

“I want the Nine-colored Fire Lotus. Do you have it or not? Are some matters your business to inquire about?” Mu Can squared his eyes, emanating an intimidating aura. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

“Yes!” Terino gritted his teeth and spoke up.

“Bring it to me, quick!” Mu Can was determined; since the Nine-colored Fire Lotus was here, even if it meant exposing his own identity, he had to obtain it.

Terino looked pitifully at Mu Can. The Fire Lotus had been bestowed upon him by Bakar, and even he had only dared to use a single petal.

Ye Feng and Da Zhuang’s hearts leapt at the sight; if they could truly obtain the Nine-colored Lotus this easily within the Volcano World, that would be astonishingly simple.

“The Nine-colored Fire Lotus is not with me at the moment. Due to its uniqueness, it must be stored within a volcano.”

In this Volcano World, small volcanoes were scattered everywhere, with the whole world ablaze, and what wasn’t lacking were these volcanoes.

“What are you waiting for? Take me to see the Nine-colored Fire Lotus!” Mu Can said coldly to Terino.

Now, completely immersing himself in his role, and let’s just say, assuming the identity of the Dragon Demon Clan suited him well—acting domineeringly and moving unimpeded.

“Your Excellency, you must help me.”

Terino clenched his teeth hard. He was never a decisive killer; reaching his current position was all due to luck. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up surrounded and attacked. Now, encountering Mu Can, a member of the Dragon Demon Clan, was like grasping the last straw, placing all his hopes on Mu Can.

Although the Nine-colored Fire Lotus was precious, even absorbing one petal was arduous for him. The remaining Nine-colored Fire Lotus wasn’t of much use to him. If he was to be defeated by the Dukes attacking him, in the end, it would all be for naught. Better to take a chance on Mu Can.

Without delay, Terino led Mu Can and the others to a small volcano within the city. Rather than a volcano, it was more like a room connected to the molten lava, where the Nine-colored Fire Lotus grew amidst the lava, its nine hues casting a faint brilliance, stunning and extraordinary to behold.

The moment he saw the Nine-colored Fire Lotus, even Mu Can’s breath paused slightly. They had risked great dangers coming to this Volcano World, all for this Nine-colored Fire Lotus.

“Go and fetch the Nine-colored Fire Lotus for me,” Mu Can instructed Terino.

An odd smile crept onto Terino’s face: “Why not fetch it yourself, Sir?”

“What do you mean by that?”

“What do I mean?” Terino looked at Mu Can with a cold sneer and lashed out at him unexpectedly.

The bastard had been pretending all along, but here, he suddenly turned hostile.

However, Mu Can had been prepared, never fully trusting these demons and always on guard.

“What do you mean by this?” Now that their true feelings were laid bare, Mu Can no longer concealed his own, staring coldly at Terino.

He had always been curious that if Terino was of such a character, he could not survive in this dog-eat-dog place, but now Mu Can seemed to have understood him: Terino was as deceitful as a fox.

“Humph, you can only blame yourself for coming at the wrong time. After possessing you, I will become one of the Dragon Demon Clan.”

Terino coldly stared at Mu Can, revealing his true nature. After obtaining a peculiar Cultivation Technique, he had been plotting such a scheme all along. His identity as an Enchanting Demon was a major limitation; only by assuming a new identity could he truly become part of the upper echelon of the Volcano World.

But what he didn’t expect was that Mu Can was not a real member of the Dragon Demon Clan at all, but a fake, not even a demon.

“Hahaha!” Mu Can laughed heartily. He knew his own identity—a human—and this guy must have mistaken him for a real member of the Dragon Demon Clan, or he wouldn’t have dared to talk about possessing him.

Possession was a familiar concept. Ever since he acquired the Reincarnation Pearl, those who tried to possess him had become nourishment for the pearl’s energy. And now, after losing the Reincarnation Pearl, this was the first time someone had tried to possess him again.

“To still laugh in the face of death, don’t worry. Once I become you, I will treat your companions well,” Terino said coldly, looking at Mu Can as if he were already a dead man, his gaze exuding a chilling coldness.

“Wang Cai, come out.” Mu Can waved his hand, and a miniature dog appeared before him, lazily sizing up Mu Can.

“It’s up to you,” Mu Can instructed Wang Cai. He now intended to have Wang Cai try to convert Terino into a member of the Wangcai Divine Sect.

Wang Cai rushed up eagerly but came back dejected. It seemed that what used to work every time on others was ineffective against Terino.

Mu Can shook his head. It seemed that they were still in for a fight. But even with the boost from Wang Cai’s Array, his strength seemed barely threatening to Terino.

The battle began in an instant. After swallowing several Elixirs, and with Wang Cai setting up the Array, Mu Can faced a great challenge. Terino was indeed the strangest among the Enchanting Demon Race, his combat abilities not inferior to those of other warrior races. If not for Mu Can’s recent cultivation and newly acquired Cultivation Technique, he would have had no way to confront Terino.

But now, with the concerted efforts of Mu Can and Wang Cai, they finally subdued Terino.

After taking control of Terino, Wang Cai, unwilling to accept defeat, lunged at him again, embarking on another round of evangelism.

After an entire hour of tireless effort, Wang Cai was drenched in sweat, but eventually, Terino truly became a member of the Wangcai Divine Sect.
