"Lord of Demons, please don't be so angry. I mean no harm." At this moment, a figure slowly walked in through the large hole in the wall.

Steward Pi and the War Priest couldn't help but shrink their pupils slightly. They knew that if it were them, they would probably have had a hard time dealing with the Demon Lord's attack in his desperation. Yet this guy had neutralized it so easily.

This guy's cultivation level seems unfathomable.

Hmm, judging by his attire, he looks like he's from an army camp. Whose subordinate is he, and why do we not know how he has such strength?

They carefully examined the other party and found that he was far too thin compared to the demons, and he was wearing a mask, so they could not see his true appearance. They also could not tell his origin from his aura and skills.

The newcomer was none other than Zu An. He was secretly alarmed when he saw the people in the room. He hadn't expected that they were all old acquaintances. Steward Pi was one thing, but he hadn't expected that the War Priest was also one of the Demon Lord's men.

The Demon Lord's sharp gaze locked onto him: "I find it hard to believe that someone who hides his true nature wouldn't harbor any ill intentions!"

He was equally shocked. He hadn't used his full strength in that move. While there weren't many people in the world who could withstand it, there were still quite a few. But he couldn't imagine anyone being able to neutralize it so silently.

In that instant, he felt as if the energy he had unleashed had been completely annihilated.

You have to understand that his move originally contained violent destructive power. How did the opponent manage to annihilate even destruction silently?

"The physical appearance is fleeting. I did not mean to deceive you. I hope you will forgive me. I have come here to discuss something that concerns your future." The reason why Zu'an wore a mask was because he remembered that the Demon Lord of the future seemed not to recognize him at first, so he could not meet him in his true form in this era.

"Our lord is so capable, why would he need others to discuss the future? Guards, seize this cowardly fellow!" Steward Pi shouted.

Demon guards had already rushed over upon hearing the news, and upon receiving his order, they all surrounded Zu'an.

"You all step back!" The voice of the Demon Lord suddenly rang out.

The guards were taken aback, but they immediately bowed and took their leave.

Steward Pi showed no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, he smiled obsequiously and said, "As expected, the Lord's considerations are far-sighted."

Then he glared at Zu'an and said, "The lord has given you a chance to speak, don't take it for granted!"

The war priest standing nearby rolled his eyes. What a sycophant.

The Demon Lord, however, seemed quite pleased with Steward Pi's obsequiousness before turning to Zu'an: "Speak, what exactly did you mean by what you just said?"

Zuan didn't rush to answer. Instead, he glanced at everyone in the room and said, "What I'm about to say might be a bit outrageous. I wonder if it's convenient for me to say it in front of them?"

The Demon Lord's heart stirred, and he vaguely guessed what was going on: "Speak freely."

He was certainly not a very patient person, but the strength the other party displayed earned him the opportunity to speak.

Zuan then slowly said, "Now that the entire army of the King of Inhumans has been wiped out, and the Lord of Slaughter's most loyal subordinate is gone, you can take this opportunity to take his place."

Upon hearing his words, the war priest and the chief steward looked at the Lord of Slaughter in horror. They knew that if he gave them even a glance, they would immediately attack him and kill him on the spot.

The Lord of Slaughter made no move, but instead said coldly, "You dare to use such a low-level and clumsy scheme to sow discord? You have quite the nerve."

Zuan smiled slightly; the fact that the other party hadn't made a move immediately already spoke volumes.

"Your Excellency misunderstands. Whether this is a divisive tactic or not is not important. What matters most is whether it is in your best interest."

"I have a rough idea of ​​where you came from," the Demon Lord sneered. "We were just discussing attacking the demon resistance and capturing the Holy Maiden alive when you immediately came out with this suggestion. Clearly, you're on the same side as the demons. But when did the demons have someone as powerful as you?"

Zuan did not deny it: "That's right, I do have some relationship with the Holy Maiden of the Demon Clan. To show my sincerity, I can also tell you that the army of King Morgad of the Unruly Kingdom was destroyed by my hand."

Upon hearing this, not only the War Priest and Steward Pi, but even the Demon Lord sat up straight in shock: "It's you!"

“That’s right, so we have a common enemy,” Zaun explained. “King Buren is a confidant of the Lord of Slaughter, and if he knew about this, he certainly wouldn’t let me off the hook. That’s why I wanted to join forces with you.”

The Demon Lord chuckled coldly twice: "Of course I'm loyal to my lord, how could I possibly have a common enemy with you? Come..."

Seeing him make a move to call for help, Zu An sighed: "In recent years, the Lord of Slaughter has been hiding in the royal tomb to comprehend its secrets, so he doesn't know that you now hold the reins of power over the demons. But if the news of the defeat and death of the King of Rulun reaches his ears, he will definitely learn about the current situation. When he finds that all his trusted confidants have disappeared and the army is now full of your men, what do you think he will think?"

The Demon Lord's expression changed: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and can naturally discern that these are merely normal personnel changes. Everything I have done is for the public good. I will capture you now to avenge the King of Immorality!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly surged, and the entire room was enveloped in a terrifying pressure.

The war priest and the chief steward had already received the hint and blocked his retreat from all sides.

The Demon Lord was incredibly fast; he pounced directly on Zu'an's location and pressed a palm down on his head.

The opponent shattered instantly, like a phantom.

"A teleportation array?" The war priest's expression changed.

The Demon Lord's face was grim: "This isn't an ordinary teleportation array. It seems to have some connection to the technology of our world."

"Could he also be from the demon world?" The war priest pondered for a long time, but couldn't think of anyone who fit these characteristics.

Steward Pi volunteered, "My lord, I will immediately lead my men to arrest him."

The Demon Lord shook his head: "No need. With his cultivation level and expertise in teleportation arrays, if he's determined to escape, we can't catch him at all."

"Are we just going to let him leave like this?" Steward Pi asked indignantly.

The Demon Lord remained silent. At this moment, the War Priest asked curiously, "The other party's proposal is actually very tempting. Why not agree to it first?"

The Demon Lord sneered, "This person's origins are unknown and he is extremely mysterious. He might be sent by the Lord of Slaughter to test us. How can we make such a hasty decision? However, this matter has given me a wake-up call. It seems we need to speed up the implementation of our plan!"
