Chapter 999: Chapter 999 - 445: Green Demon Arc – Feeding_2

"This is a deadly poison concocted by the demons, specifically meant to assassinate each Lord Hall Master."

The Hall Masters frowned, exchanging glances with each other.

From the dagger-sized, demon claw-like object on the table, they could sense a chilling aura.

Such an item definitely didn’t seem like something a minor figure like Diao Deyi could have brought.

"Diao Deyi, you’re merely a Demon Foot, how could you have contact with those Demon Leaders?"

"Diao Deyi, such a significant task, and they actually trusted you with it? Everyone, there’s likely deception involved here."

Some questioned, some looked serious, but the trust in Fang Yu was indeed not high.

Yet Fang Yu was indifferent.

Bang!

He placed another prepared item on the table.

"This is a Fake Death Pill, a product of the Research Demon Mansion, which you should be familiar with."

Upon Fang Yu’s words, he noticed the opposite Hall Masters frowning and exchanging glances, each shaking their heads.

Fang Yu felt a pang in his heart.

Could it be that what Ding Hui gave me was a new product never reported to the higher-ups of the Foolish Underworld?

Eating resources from the higher-ups yet not reporting the development results... really seems like something Ding Hui would do.

"Ahem!"

Fang Yu lightly cleared his throat.

"In any case, the Fake Death Pill can make someone mimic death temporarily."

"As far as I know, among the demons, there aren’t many demons at the Demon Leader level."

"And right now, there’s an opportunity to eliminate a Demon Leader."

"As long as each Hall Master cooperates with me to stage a play, one of the Demon Leaders amongst the demons will meet their downfall!"

The poison provided by the demons symbolizes sincerity.

The Fake Death Pill is a crucial part of the plan.

Displaying both, Fang Yu had already shown his stance.

Moreover, the candle An Menyi held hadn’t changed at all, indicating everything Fang Yu said was true.

By now, the Hall Masters present believed seventy to eighty percent of what Fang Yu said.

They truly didn’t expect such a huge surprise from Fang Yu upon his return.

With the Tianyuan Grand Formation activated and everyone on edge, no one knew what the demons were planning.

If a Demon Leader could be killed at this time, it would dampen the demons’ momentum and even disrupt their plans, which would be a great thing for Tianyuan Town.

However...

An Menyi didn’t quite trust the guy in front of him.

Other Hall Masters clearly had their hesitations too.

But An Menyi still spoke up.

"What do you want us to do? Tell us."

Fang Yu spoke up.

"The demon’s plan is simple. I am to poison a Hall Master, release Lord Wu Lvzhu to create chaos, and seize the chance to leave the Foolish Underworld."

"At the same time, outside the Foolish Underworld, at least several Demon Leaders and many demons will create chaos and killings, diverting your attention."

"Once everything is accomplished, I will go to a place where a Great Demon at the Demon Leader level will be waiting for my arrival."

"This means once the plan starts, there will be, and only be, a single Demon Leader at that meeting point, responsible for waiting."

Fang Yu scanned the Hall Masters.

"I’m not sure of each Hall Master’s strength, but dealing with several Demon Leaders assisted by many demons must be quite challenging, isn’t it? So my suggestion is to go straight to the meeting point and encircle and eliminate that lone Demon Leader."

The number of Demon Leaders among the demons is limited.

Slaying one significantly weakens the demons’ power, heightening the chances of human victory, increasing the chances of breaking the Tianyuan Grand Formation.

Fang Yu wanted to live, take Ding Hui, find his eldest brother, and save his second sister.

Thus, the Tianyuan Grand Formation had to be broken; only then could the demons not win, but lose.

Indeed, Fang Yu stood with the humans, but he had things to do before taking a side.

The Hall Masters, hearing this, exchanged looks, while the Dark Hall Master raised a hand preparing to send [Shadow] to scout the surroundings, only to be halted by Fang Yu.

"Don’t alert the enemy! Trust me, follow my arrangements for action; if you don’t trust me, you can easily just lock me up."

Watching the young man eyes before him, gradually taking control and conversing naturally among the several Hall Masters, An Menyi narrowed his eyes.

"Diao Deyi, what do you want? Don’t tell me it’s something about the glorious cause of the Human Race, as far as I know, you’re not such a person."

Fang Yu smiled.

"Master An, I just want to protect myself. If Tianyuan Town is destroyed by demons, I won’t survive alone. However, I indeed hope for something in exchange for bringing this information to light."

"What is that?"

"I would like to request... Lord Wu Lvzhu to sacrifice himself."

An Menyi laughed.

"But wasn’t he your Hall Master from Yangshen Hall? He raised you up, trusted you so much, and now you want him to die?"

Fang Yu’s expression darkened.

"Isn’t Lord Wu Lvzhu’s current state worse than death? You all surely know what you want from him, don’t you?"

"..."

No one spoke at these words.

After a while, the Dark Hall Master [Ye Zhongyu] tapped his fingers on the table as if in thought, slowly speaking.

"So your plan is... to have someone ’fake’ poison themselves, letting the demons believe the plan is successful; then, the remaining Hall Masters discreetly make their way to the meeting point and eliminate the Great Demon at the Demon Leader level you mentioned, right? And the condition is to leave Wu Lvzhu’s fate to you?"
