“No problem.” Wu Yu agreed on the spot. He was familiar with the way the demons invaded. Unless they were attacking large cities, small places like Green Town wouldn’t be visited by those Saint-level demons.

Although Wu Yu is not a Saint-level being, the gap between him and other extraordinary beings of the same level cannot be bridged by numbers. As long as the enemy does not flee, Wu Yu is confident that he can single-handedly defeat an army of extraordinary beings.

“Then it’s settled. Now tell me, what’s the second thing you came to me for?” Jess nodded in agreement with Wu Yu.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Wu Yu continued, "The second thing I came here for is to ask you about Jack and Violet. I hope you can tell me everything related to them, without missing a single thing."

"What do you want to do?" Jess looked at Wu Yu warily.

"I haven't decided yet. I can make a decision after I have the necessary information," Wu Yu replied honestly.

Jess hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "These two siblings are indeed very strange, but I don't know them very well."

“I watched Jack grow up. He’s friendly, honest, and a talented and virtuous little gentleman, but he only comes to me when he needs to buy equipment.”

"As for Violet, I only met her once before, at Jack's funeral. I always thought she was a poor little girl, but she changed my mind when she came to see me ten years ago."

Jess still feels incredibly shocked when he recalls the scene.

"She appeared out of thin air in my room one night and threw all the materials for the artifacts that I needed but couldn't obtain onto the floor. I was so surprised that I forgot to ask her why she had such precious things. After she told me that I had come back to find her, she disappeared from my room again."

“I sat on the bed the whole time, afraid to get up. I felt a suffocating power emanating from her, a suppression from the level of life energy. My body instinctively yielded to her.”

“When I was famous throughout the world, I had seen eighth-tier epics, but none of them were as terrifying as her. The most crucial thing is her eyes, which are as cold as thousand-year-old ice. I feel that there are no secrets in her eyes. But for some reason, there is a hint of woodenness in her words and actions. I even want to ask you why she became like that.” Jess retorted.

"Of course I don't know," Wu Yu said, shrugging his shoulders.

Wu Yu casually imagined the scene: an icy beauty under the moonlight. Tsk tsk, even the style has changed. Was that slightly crazy, well-behaved girl really just a disguise? Wu Yu still finds it hard to accept.

"Do you know her real identity?" Wu Yu asked without much hope.

"I don't know, but I guess it's one of those three organizations. Only they could have such a pervert." Jess thought for a moment and then voiced his guess.

"It's definitely not as simple as I hoped," Wu Yu couldn't help but sigh upon hearing Jess's useless answer.

Then Wu Yu took out a glass bottle that was supposed to be used to hold medicine and placed it on the table. He then decisively made a light cut on his left wrist, and blood began to flow uncontrollably from there.

Thanks to his increased pain tolerance along with his strength, Wu Yu can now be considered a ruthless person. He watched his wrist bleed without even blinking, and his hand didn't even tremble, allowing the blood to flow steadily into the small bottle.

After filling the entire medicine bottle, Wu Yu's face turned a little pale, but he simply tensed his muscles as if nothing was wrong. With his exquisite control over his body, he made the severed blood vessels and skin stick together tightly. Then he took out a bottle of healing potion, poured it on his wrist, and accelerated the healing process.

“Well, this is just a starting point, I think it should be enough.” Wu Yu handed the scarlet blood vial to Jess.

Jess looked at the blood in the bottle, which was the same color as that of mortals. Apart from feeling a strong life force, there was nothing special about it, but he still carefully put the bottle away.

"I'll leave Yuan An with you for now. Please let me know when it's finished. As for the invading demon army, don't worry about it. I'll take care of them all." After making his promise, Wu Yu lifted the curtain and walked outside.

"Oh, right, I'm out of weapons right now. Can I borrow one of your swords outside?" But not long after, Wu Yu poked his head back in and said.

"Heh, this guy seems really unreliable." Jess sighed helplessly, then picked up the iron sword that had just been quenched and began to give it the final touches.

"Wu Yu, are you alright? You don't look well." Joyce Sword said worriedly as Wu Yu, who was pale, came out of the house.

"It's nothing, just a little blood loss," Wu Yu replied casually, then continued walking quickly outside.

Wu Yu kept thinking about the information he had just gained.

Although she was reluctant to admit it, Violet probably guessed ten years ago that the first thing she would do after waking up was to find Jess to forge a divine weapon.

Wu Yu had no way of knowing how she predicted it. Even if she had the ability to foresee the future, Wu Yu didn't care. What he wanted to know more was why Violet would go along with it behind the scenes.

Wu Yu didn't really believe that she was waiting for the divine artifact to be successfully forged before coming to reap the rewards of victory. Although divine artifacts were precious, and there might not be many in the entire empire, Violet, whose strength was comparable to that of a god, would definitely not lack divine artifacts.
