"You!" the black bear cursed in unison, charging towards her.
Just as the two were about to start fighting, the Golden Core Great Demon Cultivator was woken up by his two noisy underlings and angrily called for them to stop.
When he got up, he realized that the thin, gloomy demonic cultivator Xiao Wu was dead, and the black bear and its cubs were also tightly bound with ropes, but their eyes looked strange, as if they were asking him for help.
The demon general sneered. These two beasts must be terrified. What kind of good person is he?
"How did Xiao Wu die? What are you all arguing about?" Tu Longjian's eyes darted around, and he said in a fawning manner, "This black bear went berserk and attacked us, killing Xiao Wu."
"And he, seeing Xiao Wu beaten to death, cowered and dared not step forward." Tu Longjian pointed at the black bear.
“I told him, with your big brother here, what are you afraid of? Just charge! Turns out, this guy wasn’t even as brave as his dog. After seeing that the dog helped me block something and that I subdued the black bear, he started nagging me about the dog’s medical bills.”
"...My beloved pet also contributed, so don't take all the credit in front of Big Brother!"
"Alright!" The demon general picked at his ear, showing a hint of impatience. "That's enough, what's all the noise about? Let's go back to the city."
"Big brother, what about Xiao Wu..." Tu Longjian asked tentatively. She had seen the displeasure in the way the demon general looked at Xiao Wu earlier, so she must have made the right bet.
Sure enough, the demon general chuckled evilly: "So what if I die? The Demon King always likes to stuff people around me, it's so annoying."
Tu Longjian then recounted the demonic cultivator's sinister plan to the demon general, and obtained his permission.
Then, the "demonic cultivators" returned home as they had come.
As they entered the city gate, several lazy demonic cultivator guards greeted them respectfully, "Lord Luo, please."
Luo Mo nodded coldly and arrogantly led his men into the city.
The city streets were indeed filled with demonic cultivators and monsters; there was no sign of human cultivators, and every household had its doors and windows tightly shut.
Luo Mo led them straight to the city lord's mansion. The original city lord's family had been slaughtered and occupied by the demon king, becoming the demon king's residence.
It seems that this Demon General Luo is of high status. The guards did not obstruct them much, and they successfully entered the main hall of the city lord's mansion to wait for the Demon King.
Luo Mojiang sat impatiently in the chair, while Tu Longjian stood beside him, silently observing his surroundings.
Luo Mojiang's cultivation level is equivalent to the Golden Core stage of a human cultivator, which she can handle. However, the Demon King is comparable to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, so she will have to be extremely careful later.
Soon, a glamorous woman in black, surrounded by several guards, slowly entered the hall. Pointing at the engorged "black bear," she laughed:
"Oh, General Luo, are you craving something again? You went hunting early this morning."
Luo Mojiang snorted. This woman used to be his equal, but he didn't know what kind of luck she had to become a Demon King ahead of time.
They used to be very respectful to him, but now they dare to tease him.
However, due to the difference in strength, he still gave him face and said, "Lord Ji has only recently been promoted to Demon King, so I must prepare a small gift."
Hearing him refer to himself as "I" instead of "subordinate," the alluring woman narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Since that's the case, I'll accept General Luo's kindness. Yuan Qing, take it away and cook it."
"Wait a minute." Luo Mojiang raised his hand to stop him. "My little brother has a better idea. I heard that a victory banquet is going to be held in the city, and the Demon Lord will also be attending. Why don't we stay and have some fun at the banquet, and also help the Demon Lord relieve his boredom?"
"You're quite well-informed." Hearing him say that, Ji Aosi smiled, not caring at all.
"Xiao Wu told you, didn't he? I just got the news this morning. Wait, why isn't Xiao Wu with you..."
Ji Aosi glanced around in surprise and noticed that Luo Mojiang was missing someone, namely Xiao Wu, whom she knew well.
As the Demon King's gaze swept over him, Tu Longjian suppressed his anxiety and tried his best to remain calm, avoiding revealing any flaws.
"Oh, he died while hunting. What a pity, the kid had sharp ears, but his strength was still lacking." Luo Mojiang picked at his ear, seemingly unconcerned, but his words were full of hidden meaning.
Realizing the other person was accusing her of planting a spy by his side, Ji Aosi didn't press the matter further and nodded in response:
"If you are not strong enough, you should recognize your own limitations and be careful with your words and actions. Otherwise, you may die at the hands of the enemy one day."
Luo Mojiang understood her warning, his face turned ashen, but he couldn't retaliate.
"The Demon Lord will be arriving tonight, and I need to prepare a victory banquet, so I won't keep General Luo. Your idea is excellent, let's do it that way."
"Lord Ji, please wait." Luo Mojiang suddenly spoke up as if he had caught something: "Have you caught those remnants of the human cultivators?"
As Ji Aosi turned halfway away, a bloodthirsty smile curled at the corner of her lips: "Of course."
"Although some small fry escaped, the handsome swordsman who led the group has been captured."
Upon hearing this news, Tu Longjian's heart skipped a beat; the female demon must be referring to his senior brother.
Oops.
