Luo Qiu glanced around and asked, "Are you sure you want to say this here? What if someone eavesdrops, and then..."
"Let's talk inside," Zhou Feng said first. Once he spoke, the others didn't say anything more and quickly led the person inside.
And the person who was actually eavesdropping in the shadows: ...
Luo Qiu made a note of it, so even if he went inside, he could still hear it, which would just be a bit troublesome.
It's best to pray the news is helpful, otherwise...
Black energy surged in his hand, ready to be flung out at any moment.
Luo Qiu did not sit down. Instead, seeing that the environment was suitable, he spoke up: "Before you, a large number of powerful demons had already entered the secret realm. Moreover, there were not only demons, but also members of the demon race. They wanted to eliminate everyone inside, occupy the secret realm, and finally begin to slaughter the people outside."
These words were like a bombshell, exploding in the ears of those who heard them, leaving them feeling incredulous yet compelled to believe.
They had sensed something was amiss when they opened the entrance to the secret realm, but they hadn't thought much of it at the time. Now, considering what they were saying, they couldn't help but think more about it.
"Where is that demon?"
This person had already forgotten Zhou Feng's existence and couldn't wait to ask the question.
“I have captured the demon and he is being held in one place. If you do not believe me, you can go and interrogate him. However, the matter is urgent, and I hope you can resolve it as soon as possible.”
Luo Qiu generously told them the location of the demon, not at all worried that the facts they found out would be different from what he said.
"Alright, let's go now. These demons and monsters are simply too much."
"Nonsense! If there were such a person among the demons, wouldn't I know? This is utter nonsense."
The man hiding in the shadows was furious. He wanted to see what that demon had to say. If it was just talking nonsense, he would tear it to pieces.
So he quietly followed the old man.
When they finally saw the demon, they were eager to know the truth, and Zhou Feng went to ask as their representative.
His master is in the secret realm. If anything happens to him, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life.
"Tell me, do you really have a plan?"
The little demon was so frightened that it trembled and blurted out everything.
"Yes, yes, we've been planning this for many years, just waiting for the secret realm to open again so we can wipe you all out in one fell swoop. At the same time, we've also contacted some demons to make this plan twice as effective."
"Do you know what the consequences of lying are?" Zhou Feng said coldly.
But his actions betrayed him; he clearly believed it, but wasn't sure.
"Yes! How would you, a mere little demon, know so much about these plans?"
It's important to know that meticulously planned schemes are usually kept secret. The fact that the demon knows such details this time suggests that it's likely part of another part of the plan.
"No, it really is like that. I am the son of the Left Protector. I heard it when they came to discuss it with my father. It's true, everything I said is true, not a single word is false, I swear."
"Why did we discuss it at your house?" Zhou Feng caught the key point.
"Because, because... I can't say that! If I do, my life will be in danger."
"If you don't talk, you're dead right now."
As he spoke, he grabbed its neck. If he used just a little more force, its neck would break. The little demon trembled with fear.
"I'll talk, I'll talk."
Zhou Feng then reduced the pressure on his hands.
"Because, because it is not the Demon King who wants to unify the world, but my father. The protector of the Demon Clan is also dissatisfied with their Demon Lord, which is why he chose to cooperate with my father for mutual benefit."
He immediately blurted everything out, not daring to hide a single detail.
"You know, is there anything else? If I find out you're lying to me, I'll break your neck right now."
"No, that's all. I only heard that much at the time. My father wouldn't let us know about these things."
Seeing that he couldn't get any more information, Zhou Feng let go and went out with the others to discuss entering the secret realm.
Luo Qiu glanced at the demon and walked out as well. Now that the demon was in their hands, it was no longer up to him to make decisions.
He didn't have much free time to deal with these things; he hadn't finished the tasks his master had assigned him.
Once everyone had left, the demon thought it was safe and finally looked up at its surroundings.
It now only hopes that its father will come to save it soon. It doesn't want to die. It had heard before that demons who fall into the human race die very tragically. It said these things because it didn't want to die, just to save its own life. Now it seems that this information is really useful.
Fortunately, he didn't run out to play and stayed in his room, otherwise he wouldn't be alive now.
But before it could catch its breath, a thick black mist appeared before its eyes, and its neck was gripped.
Demon: ...
It came again; it was terrified.
"No, don't kill me! I'll give you anything you want, and I'll tell you anything you want to know."
Qi Yike found her timid appearance utterly repulsive.
"Tell me, which demon clan member was involved?"
The voice was like a demon's, making the little demon tremble with fear, completely forgetting to think, until the pain from its neck made it cry out.
"I...I don't know. All I know is that he has a long, thick beard, wears a straw hat, speaks in a rough and gruff voice, and is prone to throwing things. That's all I know. Please let me go! That's all I know, sob sob sob."
"Does the Demon King really not know about this?"
I've heard that the Demon King is incredibly powerful, capable of fighting against countless people single-handedly. How could he possibly not know something so trivial?
"The Demon King doesn't know that a year ago, he stopped caring much about the affairs of the demon race and instead indulged in one of his concubines. That concubine is my father's person, and she has been secretly drugging the Demon King. The Demon King is now on his deathbed, and the demon race will belong to my father in the future."
"Nonsense, I heard recently that the Demon King wanted to assassinate his illegitimate son."
You dare to talk nonsense in front of him? Do you think he has a good temper?
"It's true, it's true. The Demon King also entrusted the task of assassinating the illegitimate child to my father. Because there was no sandstorm, he was furious about it and fell ill."
Looking at the little demon in his hand, Qi Yike considered its value. Killing it directly was obviously not an option; it had greater potential to be realized.
Taking him away would be another problem, but after considering the power dynamics, he decided to take him away and hand him over to his subordinates for safekeeping.
"Don't speak, or you'll lose your life."
He left behind this harsh remark and departed with his men.
"Oh no, oh no, that little demon has disappeared!"
