Chapter 1013: Chapter 1013 - 48: Green Demon Arc: Delusion_3
"Lord, open the door!"
There was a commotion outside the door. After declaring the severance of ties, Green Demon was about to turn around to open the door when Shu Bird Demon suddenly growled.
"Wait!"
Green Demon stopped, his back to Shu Bird Demon, and said in a deep voice.
"... What else do you have to say?"
"Destructive Demon was killed by Blood Demon."
His fist clenched tightly, Green Demon turned around with a grim face, staring directly at Shu Bird Demon.
"You’re still saying this! I said Blood Demon..."
"At that time! Do you remember the plan then? That rendezvous point was impossible to be exposed! I was adamant about having Destructive Demon leave the rendezvous point because of my worry about Blood Demon’s betrayal! But Destructive Demon chose to trust Blood Demon and decided to stay. And what happened? Humans indeed came straight to us!"
Shu Bird Demon stared fixedly at Green Demon: "The location of that rendezvous point was known to no one else except us at that time and place! Not even Lord Lan knew! Because it was a Hidden Land I kept secret, a safe place even from Lord Lan..."
"Come to think of it, I haven’t told you, nor has Heart Burning Demon. At that time, she and I were constantly dealing with a Hall Master outside the Foolish Underworld. The other two Hall Masters never appeared, as if they knew the location of the rendezvous point and went straight for Destructive Demon’s rendezvous point!"
"Do you think, why would those two Hall Masters dare to attack with such nerve, with such a small force? Someone definitely leaked the information, and that person could only have been Blood Demon, no one else!"
Shu Bird Demon finally clarified his words.
But Green Demon, having listened to all this analysis, fell into a state of shock.
He bowed his head, his fists clenching and unclenching, until finally, he slowly lifted his head, smiled, and said.
"So what?"
"..."
What... did you say?
So? What?
To be honest, upon hearing those four words, Shu Bird Demon was furious!
A surge of unquenchable anger surged from his heart.
He was seething, his face flushed with anger as he shouted.
"So what? Just a simple ’so what?’ Blood Demon has sided with humans! Sided with humans!! Can’t you understand? He’s on the humans’ side! He’s a traitor to the demons!! Do you want to become a traitor to the demons too? Do you want to be a lackey for the humans too!"
Every word from Shu Bird Demon pierced Green Demon’s heart, his expression gradually distorted, his tightly clenched fist creaking.
"I don’t believe... I don’t believe a single word you’re saying! I don’t believe Blood Demon is a traitor! I don’t believe my brother would betray me!!!"
Green Demon panted heavily and said: "Do you know what happened at the Foolish Underworld? Two Hall Masters! Blood Demon killed them all! He shared the Hall Masters’ flesh with me, he stood by my side in clan battles! He saved me from life and death many times! Even during the great battle with the Li Family Ancestor, it was Blood Demon who risked everything to save me from the traitorous Ice Immortal Demon!"
"So I don’t believe it! I believe nothing! I only believe him! I only believe Blood Demon!!"
Crazy!
He’s gone mad under Blood Demon’s influence! His mind is broken!
Shu Bird Demon looked at Green Demon as if at a useless fool.
"Just small favors, just a bit of acting, and you’ve been deceived! That Ice Immortal Demon might even be colluding with him! What life-and-death friendships, life-risking rescues, might all be staged, all fake! Only you took it seriously!! You..."
"Shut up!!!!"
With a bang, Green Demon rushed over instantly, colliding with Shu Bird Demon. As they fell and rolled on the ground, they were already entangled in a scuffle.
"The bystander sees the situation clearly! Lord Lan has already..."
"I told you to shut up!!!"
Green Demon roared furiously, leaping up on both knees, grabbing Shu Bird Demon and slamming him into the wall.
Bam!!
The two collided with the wall, causing dust and gravel to fall with a crash.
And at that moment, Green Demon, sitting on Shu Bird Demon’s body, tugged at the feathers on Shu Bird Demon’s chest, glaring angrily at him.
"What evidence do you have! What evidence do you have!! With just these speculations, with just sweet talk, you deceived Lord Lan and attempted..."
"Wait!"
"What?"
"Wait, Lord Lan will grant you permission to enter and exit as Demon Leader! Try to let Blood Demon out, and look, keep your eyes wide open and see! Once Blood Demon leaves the Hidden Land, will he bring humans over! Will he have you open the gate and lead them into the Hidden Land! Exposing all our positions to the humans!"
"You still want to test him!"
"It’s you who don’t trust him! If you trust him enough, listen to me! Lord Lan and I are willing to risk the lives of every demon in the organization to gamble this once with you! Do you dare?"
"..."
Green Demon wavered.
The enraged Shu Bird Demon made Green Demon feel his head buzzing, his ears filled with a ringing noise.
Slowly, Green Demon released his grip.
But the heaving of his chest showed his mind was not at ease.
"I believe him."
"What?"
"As you said, I will give Blood Demon the permission! I will prove to you, I will let Blood Demon prove to you and Lord Lan, that he is innocent!!"
Green Demon glared angrily at Shu Bird Demon, but the latter merely returned his glare coldly for a moment before suddenly turning and leaving.
"It better be so!"
The door opened.
The demons outside poured in with concern, asking about the situation.
And among those guards, Green Demon saw... standing at the door, crossing paths with the departing Shu Bird Demon, was Blood Demon.
