Chapter 1014: Chapter 1014 - 448: Green Demon Arc: Delusion_4

"..."

After silently dismissing the demon guards, Green Demon left only Fang Yu.

With the stone gate closing behind them, only the two remained in the room.

Fang Yu glanced around; the mess on the ground made him chuckle awkwardly.

"Brother Qing, what happened? You seem really angry. Did you get into a fight with Lord Shu Bird Demon?"

Green Demon looked at his brother in arms with a complex expression for a long time, until Fang Yu started to feel uncomfortable. Only then did Green Demon avert his gaze.

"Didn’t I tell you before? After becoming a Demon Leader, I wanted to spar with Shu Bird Demon again."

So casual?

Fang Yu muttered in his heart.

They’re both demon leaders, yet they fight just like that, causing a commotion even in their lair, in a small room no less.

Seeing Green Demon’s health gradually recovering, Fang Yu was not too concerned about his injuries.

"Who won?"

Fang Yu asked with curiosity.

Green Demon smiled, looking towards Fang Yu.

"Naturally, I did."

Fang Yu also smiled.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Lord Green Demon, Lord Lan wishes to see you."

Upon hearing this, Green Demon’s heart tightened.

Taking a deep breath, he said to Fang Yu,

"Blood Demon, you stay here first. I’ll be back soon."

"Ah, okay."

Fang Yu had come here.

First, he was drawn by the sounds of the fight.

Second, he was pondering how to ask Green Demon for access to that hidden place.

Third, he wanted to know if Green Demon had managed to cultivate the [Life Seed].

So after Green Demon spoke, Fang Yu decided to stay.

Green Demon left, while Fang Yu looked at the system records.

[Attribute points: 110→3.]

[Wood Zither Blade Technique [High-level Flower Stage/Exquisite] → Wood Zither Blade Technique [Initial Stage Tree Level/Initial Understanding].]

The final choice was still the sword technique.

With nearly all his attribute points depleted at once, Fang Yu could feel his strength had increased significantly.

He glanced around at the chaotic surroundings left by the fight.

Fang Yu began to clean the room while organizing his thoughts.

...

Green Demon, exiting beyond the stone gate, felt extremely conflicted inside.

He had already met Lord Lan.

And just as Lord Shu Bird Demon had said, Lord Lan also believed that Blood Demon was the traitor.

Now, the only way to prove Blood Demon’s innocence was for him not to do that one thing...

No!

He wouldn’t do that thing!

Clenching his fist, Green Demon quickly reached the doorway to his room.

He pushed open the stone door, and what met his eyes was a room much tidier than before, with Blood Demon in the midst of clearing away the stone debris.

This scene softened Green Demon’s gaze.

Yes, a Blood Demon like this, my brother in life and death, could never be a traitor!

"Brother Qing? You’re back."

Blood Demon grinned broadly, and Green Demon smiled with a nod.

"Leave it, come, Blood Demon, sit down, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Blood Demon sit down with a puzzled expression, Green Demon took a deep breath and sat opposite.

"Blood Demon, Lord Lan has given me a rather daunting mission."

"What mission?"

"Lord Lan has instructed me to lead a team, attack one of the [Three Major Martial Arts Schools], the [Hongyang Martial Arts Hall], and eliminate its Hall Master."

Fang Yu furrowed his brow.

This task is quite challenging.

"Brother Qing, outside now is full of human patrols. Even if you go alone or lead others out, there’s always a risk of being surrounded by humans, leaving you with no escape! This mission, Lord Lan is clearly making it difficult for you!"

Bang!

At this moment, Green Demon placed his hand on Fang Yu’s shoulder.

"That’s why I need your help. For this mission, only the two of us will come forward. We both possess strong human disguise abilities, making us the most likely to escape after killing the Hall Master of [Hongyang Martial Arts Hall]."

Fang Yu’s heart leapt with joy, this was good news indeed!

But outwardly, he hesitated.

"Brother Qing, just the two of us, is it not too risky..."

"Don’t worry, as for the Hall Master of [Hongyang Martial Arts Hall], I can take him down alone, you just need to cover me."

"...Alright! I’ll follow Brother Qing’s plans!"

Fang Yu nodded vigorously, then as if he suddenly thought of something, he spoke up.

"Right, Brother Qing, about the [Life Seed] you mentioned before, with your current strength, are you able to cultivate it?"

"...Barely."

Fang Yu’s eyes lit up, barely able to contain his excitement.

"Really?!"

Green Demon nodded with a smile: "Really."

Good! Very good!

Fang Yu, excited, clenched his fist secretly.

"Brother Qing, when will we take action?"

"You go outside and wait first; I’ll be out shortly."

"Mm!"

Fang Yu left, leaving only Green Demon in the room.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look complex with a hint of pain.

"Ever since you knew I could cultivate the [Life Seed], you’ve brought it up repeatedly..."

"Could it be that you approached me just for this? No... no! No! No!"

"Blood Demon risked his life to save me! How could he approach me just for that thing? Besides, before knowing I could cultivate the [Life Seed], we’ve already been through so much..."

"Believe in Blood Demon! I must trust Blood Demon! He won’t let me down! Absolutely!"
