Chapter 1007: Chapter 1007 - 4

Nodding with regret, Fang Yu clenched his fist.

"If only we had been a little stronger back then, maybe we could have saved the Destructive Demon!"

Upon hearing this, the Green Demon also sighed.

The Hall Master of the Dark Hall was too cunning. After concealing his presence, even the Green Demon couldn’t sense where he was, let alone the weaker Blood Demon.

So Green Demon didn’t blame others, only hated humans for being too cunning!

"There will be revenge... I will personally take care of that guy! So the Destructive Demon can rest in peace!"

The original task was meant to be executed solely by the Blood Demon.

Green Demon’s intention to help brought in the Shu Bird Demon, which then involved other demon leaders.

So in some sense, the Destructive Demon died because of him!

Green Demon clenched his fist tighter, determined to kill that human from the Dark Hall! Absolutely!

"No need to blame yourselves, it was the Heart Burning Demon and I who arrived a step too late, which led to the Destructive Demon dying at the hands of humans!"

They charged in.

There was a clash of opinions.

Upon receiving the distress signal, Shu Bird Demon’s idea was to rush back directly to rescue.

Meanwhile, Heart Burning Demon’s plan was to break into the Foolish Underworld, like swapping places, forcing that guy to activate the grand formation, and bring back the Hall Master from Destructive Demon’s side.

With such a delay, their actions instead became slower, and by the time they arrived, the Destructive Demon was already dead.

Feeling guilty, Heart Burning Demon locked himself in his room, leaving Shu Bird Demon to report the situation.

The original five demon leaders, now only the Three Demons remain.

The Blood Sea Demon is still recovering from the previous battle and did not join this action.

The disruption caused by Heart Burning Demon, what consequences it might bring, is uncertain.

However, the newly promoted Green Demon is highly regarded by Shu Bird Demon, though his abilities are still somewhat lacking at the moment.

Watching Green Demon comfortingly escort Fang Yu out, Shu Bird Demon pondered and turned back into the secret room where Lord Lan was.

"Are they comforted?"

"Yes."

"Find an opportunity to send him out, expose this place’s location to humans."

"...Yes!"

"Is there anything else?"

"Lord Lan, I want to let Green Demon know about that guy’s betrayal!"

"Do as you see fit, just don’t affect the plan."

"Yes!"

Shu Bird Demon slowly withdrew.

The traitor is both a threat and an opportunity.

The intelligence conveyed by a traitor has the highest credibility.

Things are about to become interesting.

Lord Lan pondered, while in the forge, the half head of the Fallen Spirit Demon emerged and quickly sank back into the magma.

...

Foolish Underworld.

"Useless." Zuo Family Ancestor casually remarked.

"Yes."

"Useless." Bai Family Ancestor slowly added.

"...Yes."

"Trash." Hei Family Ancestor coldly stated.

"Yes!"

[Ming Tianqi] knelt on the ground, forehead covered in cold sweat. Sitting above were three beings he absolutely couldn’t afford to provoke, the absolute pinnacles of Tianyuan Town.

The arrival of these three great figures had been anticipated by their hall masters.

But their quick arrival was unexpected to [Ming Tianqi].

According to usual protocol, An Menyi would have been responsible for welcoming such big figures.

But now, a problem had arisen.

An Menyi was already dead.

Killed by... the traitor!

"Sacrifices are inevitable." Zuo Family Ancestor stood up, took a drink of water, and spat it out disdainfully.

"Tastes bad."

"Yes... tastes bad..."

[Ming Tianqi] was drenched in cold sweat. He had offered the Foolish Underworld’s finest tea, but the level was just not high enough, and the ancestors simply didn’t appreciate it.

"A good approach. If your Foolish Underworld hall masters don’t die, how else could that guy gain the demons’ favor and subsequently obtain intelligence?"

Bai Family Ancestor began to comment as well, though she did not drink tea.

"Yes, yes! What the lord said is reasonable..."

"Major players don’t sweat the small stuff! I like that kid’s approach, he can deliver the message. I’ll grant him glory, and personally twist his neck." Hei Family Ancestor coldly questioned.

"I don’t... I don’t know. That guy only mentioned that once the intelligence was obtained, he would find a way to transmit the message back immediately."

[Ming Tianqi] felt as if he was caught in a rainstorm, sweating profusely all over.

The pressure, the pressure was immense!

Facing these old monsters, he dared not even breathe heavily!

"Is that so? Then we’ll stay here for now." Zuo Family Ancestor returned to his seat.

"I remember the Prison at the Foolish Underworld houses many interesting things." Bai Family Ancestor winked.

"Shall we release a few to play? See who kills the most?"

Hei Family Ancestor laughed, rarely showing a smile, but only said one word.

"Good."

This was treating the Foolish Underworld as a playground...

[Ming Tianqi] felt his body shaking uncontrollably, and dared not express any opinion until the three ancestors laughed among themselves and left. Only then did he collapse to the ground, breathing heavily.

Hosting these three was truly not a task for humans.

Next time, next time Shu Shangming must be responsible for hosting, he swears he’ll never do this again!

...

Hidden Land.

Fang Yu, covered entirely in Bone Armor, lay on a stone slab.

This was considered a bed.

Fortunately, it was sufficiently enclosed, so it at least counted as having his own little space.

But he didn’t take on the Bone Armor form.

Because outsiders would stare at his original form for a long time if any demon encountered him.

Clearly, for demons in the demon lair, a demon donning a human exterior was an action utterly incomprehensible.

Fortunately, Green Demon explained that he had been undercover for too long, hadn’t switched back identities immediately, and needed time to adjust; this clarified some misunderstandings.

"Demon body, huh..."

This identity, Fang Yu initially really aimed for it, but now, he no longer cared for such trivial status.

"When can I go out? Apart from the demon leaders, the chance to go out was only a tiny window when executing tasks."

"Given the secrecy of this place, even ordinary demons don’t have the privilege to go out."

Fang Yu pondered. Green Demon just became a demon leader, gaining the qualification to go out, possibly taking task execution along should pose no issue.

However, this might implicate the Green Demon, hence Fang Yu hesitated on how to handle it.

Primarily, the intelligence had to be sent out, or else once Lord Lan regained power, Tianyuan Town might truly perish under these demons, just as Sister Jin mentioned in her journal...

If Tianyuan Town were destroyed, I likely wouldn’t survive, nor would Ding Hui.

If Ding Hui didn’t survive, Second Sister wouldn’t either.

If I didn’t survive, no one could rescue Sister Jin...

We must find the path for all to survive!

Also, Brother Qing...

Drawing a deep breath, Fang Yu looked at his attribute panel.

Time to enhance some skills, Brother Qing already has a blood combat power of seventy thousand; can’t lag behind.

But to advance, there’s still one cultivation technique missing, and regarding this, Fang Yu contemplated which martial arts to elevate.

Moreover, whether advancing requires raising the spirit attribute is also unknown, nor is stimulating spirit power understood...

Fang Yu felt as if he possessed a treasury, yet had no clue how to extract it.

"Seems like I need some time to settle down."

With that thought, Fang Yu slowly closed his eyes.
