Chapter 917: Chapter 917 - 420: Undercurrents in Tianyuan Town (Part 2)

What a perilous existence!

Yet, this is both danger and opportunity!

If such a force could be used in their grand scheme, it would be a powerful external ally not to be underestimated!

"My lord..."

"No need for formalities. Since you sincerely pledge allegiance, how about I lend you a hand once? But that Green Demon..."

"As for the trivial Green Demon, my lord, if you desire it, I shall fetch it from the Shu Bird Demon for you."

The Qi felt joyful.

"Good, I’ll await your news."

Blood Sea Demon kept calling "My lord" "My lord," yet no one responded.

Blood Sea Demon stood up, thoughts flashing through his mind, a plan weaving a coherent thread.

Li Family Patriarch, soon, can be slain!

...

The next day, at Sky Sea Restaurant.

Bang!

Shu Bird Demon slapped the table fiercely.

"I disagree! The Green Demon is mine, why should I let it go to others?!"

He glared angrily at the Blood Sea Demon and the Ice Immortal Demon before him.

"And, just because some unknown outsider demon says a few words, you believe them? Why was I completely kept in the dark about this matter before! What have you been secretly up to behind my back? Just because Lord Lan is absent from Tianyuan Town for a while, we can’t even communicate the basics?"

Blood Sea Demon drank the wine in his mouth, and said lightly.

"Don’t be anxious, Shu Bird Demon. You should understand, that outsider Great Demon, its strength is greater than both yours and mine. Such a powerful external ally, even if it only acts once, is far more valuable than the Green Demon."

Shu Bird Demon immediately cursed out loud.

"You don’t know shit!"

Blood Sea Demon couldn’t help but laugh coldly.

"What does it matter if it is a Pure Blood Demon; I’ve killed quite a few Pure Blood Demons myself, each one boasted their bloodline as if it were the greatest, yet they all ended up dead at my hands! Only you, Shu Bird Demon, who has little experience, would treat it as a treasure. If the Green Demon was truly a treasure, would it be your turn to act?"

Shu Bird Demon’s face had already darkened.

Blood Sea Demon saw this and softened his tone, saying: "We are just stabilizing him, letting the outsider Great Demon help us. After dealing with the Li Family Patriarch, we’ll turn our backs and take the person back."

Ice Immortal Demon giggled and said: "Yes, yes, it’s all just a plan, merely a performance for that outsider demon to see. You should speak with the Green Demon, do some ideological work, let him cooperate a bit."

But Shu Bird Demon still remained silent, only staring at the two of them intently.

"What if I say I disagree?"

Blood Sea Demon shrugged.

"In that case, it may not be up to you."

What do you mean?

Just as Shu Bird Demon was about to ask, suddenly he seemed to sense something, accompanied by a subtle spatial fluctuation, a voluptuous woman unexpectedly passed through the wall and entered.

Shu Bird Demon’s eyes widened.

"You’re insane! Using this trick in broad daylight! Aren’t you afraid of being noticed by those old bastards? And how did you come here!"

The voluptuous woman spoke coldly.

"The ones who came, are not only me."

The tone was extremely indifferent, as if rejecting people from a thousand miles away; this was indeed one of the companions from that night, who jointly dealt with Lin Yiqiu.

With the appearance of the voluptuous woman, another person also silently passed through the wall, sat in a seat, and took a few gulps of wine.

This was a haggard man with some stubble, a naturally melancholic face, seemingly taciturn, saying nothing, just sitting and drinking.

The five major Demon Leaders who once dealt with Lin Yiqiu were now reunited.

And their purpose, as before, was to deal with a troublesome Family Head.

The only difference was that this time, their leader, Lord Lan, was not present.

"Why have you all come? It’s not yet time!" Shu Bird Demon’s face looked increasingly unpleasant.

"I invited them."

Blood Sea Demon stood up from his seat.

Glancing around, his gaze landed on Ice Immortal Demon.

"Ice Immortal Demon, you may make the announcement."

Ice Immortal Demon giggled, cleared her throat, and started speaking.

"Last night, news came from Lord Lan."

With just one sentence, the scene fell silent.

The Shu Bird Demon asked nervously.

"What does Lord Lan say?"

"The plan continues, but it can be carried out by the hands of foreign demons."

"..."

The Shu Bird Demon frowned, remained silent, and then sighed.

"I understand. Then everyone, please be prepared. I will set the time, and we will... bring down the old patriarch of the Li family as well!"

The Blood Sea Demon and the Ice Immortal Demon laughed, while the other two demons merely nodded slightly before turning to leave. As the space fluctuated, everything returned to calm.

"Very well, we shall go back and wait for news."

All the demons dispersed. The Shu Bird Demon, with a gloomy face, left the restaurant but turned and went to the small courtyard where he previously met with the Green Demon in private.

There, the Blood Sea Demon and others, who had just parted, had been waiting for some time.

Except for the Ice Immortal Demon, everyone else was present.

"That foreign great demon didn’t follow, right?"

The Blood Sea Demon spoke.

The woman with a cold gaze lifted her eyelids slightly, as if trying to sense the surrounding spatial fluctuations.

"Relax, no one followed us. Now we can talk openly."

The Shu Bird Demon breathed a big sigh of relief. He had been under great pressure at the restaurant.

"The news from Lord Lan is fake, isn’t it?" he asked.

The Blood Sea Demon sneered.

"There’s long been a problem with the Ice Immortal Demon. Her information isn’t reliable at all."

"So what should we do?"

"Without Lord Lan’s support, we are no match for that guy. Moreover, he’s very greedy. I’ve been in contact with him. That foreign great demon not only covets the Green Demon, but he also wants to devour the flesh of the Li Family Patriarch. At their level, it’s likely only martial artists with the strength of a patriarch can help them further improve their strength."

The woman with a cold voice said, "Greed can be exploited. Since he wants to swallow the Li Family Patriarch, why not lend a hand and push it to his mouth?"

"The fear is that he might kick us when the work is done. We’ve been planning for so long, and now we have to hand over the environment we’ve created to someone else. I’m not reconciled to that!" the Blood Sea Demon muttered.

The man with stubble grumbled, "Plans can’t keep up with changes. Lord Lan hasn’t returned as promised, and this has already delayed the grand scheme. If we can’t activate the great formation of Tianyuan Town on time, everything will turn into empty talk."

The cold woman said coldly, "I’ll find a way to contact Lord Lan. Until then, everything proceeds as planned. It’s not unacceptable to have that foreign great demon take Lord Lan’s place against the Li Family Patriarch."

The Shu Bird Demon said worriedly, "There are too many variables; it’s far safer to wait until Lord Lan returns."

"That’s not up to us. The Ice Immortal Demon is also aware of the plan. We’ve already set things up this far, and time cannot hide from that foreign great demon. We can’t delay for long."

"If that’s the case... then we shall pretend to cooperate with that foreign great demon. If we can’t wait for Lord Lan, we will join forces with him to bring down the Li Family Patriarch."

Suddenly, the man with stubble said, "Do you think that foreign great demon knows we have seen through his scheme?"

The Blood Sea Demon said coldly, "Whether he knows or not, no matter. Both he and we are actually using an open strategy. He wants the Green Demon and the flesh of the Li Family Patriarch. We need the permanent disappearance of the Li Family Patriarch. The only variable in our contest with him is when Lord Lan will return. Otherwise, with his overpowering strength, should we fight him and risk mutual destruction? He can walk away unscathed, but what about us? What about our grand plan? All our efforts would be destroyed in an instant! Who dares to take on this risk!"

All the demons were silent. That’s how things stood, and they could only take one step at a time.

"By the way, about the Green Demon..." the Blood Sea Demon suddenly said as they were about to leave.

"I’ll handle it," the Shu Bird Demon sighed and said.

...

Heavenly Square Inn.

Bai Wanxi knelt before ’Bo Wei.’

"My lord, everything is going smoothly! They already believe my words and have begun to provide the opportunity for you, my lord."

"You did well, you did very well," ’Bo Wei’ extended a finger to lift Bai Wanxi’s chin, a playful smile on his face.

"If all goes well, after acquiring the Green Demon and consuming the Li Family Patriarch, I will set you free before leaving Tianyuan Town."

"Thank you, my lord, for your benevolence!"

Looking at the Ice Demon, who had completely submitted to him, ’Bo Wei’ gazed out the window.

"Things seem to be getting interesting."

"It’s a pity that your Lord Lan doesn’t seem to be in the city; otherwise, I would be interested in having a duel with him to see who is superior."

On that day, Li Shiquan and Li Shidao of the Li family completely eliminated all competitors and became the final candidates for the Li family’s trial.

It can be foreseen that the final duel of the Li family’s trial will soon take place in Tianyuan Town.

Who will ultimately become the heir to the next Head of the Li Family has become the most popular topic in Tianyuan Town recently.
