The Rat King watched the conversation between the two and couldn't help but interrupt with a smile:
“My dear guest, there are countless half-demon refugees in this Rift Demon Valley. Every year, countless of them die in the tides. It’s not surprising that my son picked up one and brought him back.
The human cultivator that the distinguished guest is looking for must be extraordinary. If he appeared here, how could I be unaware of it?
And as you all know, because of the invasion of the two kings a hundred years ago, I have been recuperating, and now there is not a single pure-blooded human slave in my territory."
The young monk smiled faintly upon hearing this, "Fellow Daoist Rat, there's no need to explain. I just asked casually on a whim."
Upon hearing this, Di Miao immediately chimed in, "Father, I am the new head of the slave prison. I will do my best to replenish the supply of pure-blooded human slaves for your enjoyment."
This made the Rat King feel relieved. He couldn't help but laugh, "It's a good thing you have such a heart. Go and get busy."
Di Miao immediately bowed and said, "I'll take my leave."
The young monk smiled without saying anything, drank his wine slowly, and let Di Miao leave.
Only after Di Miao disappeared outside the banquet hall did he put down his wine glass and spoke slowly, "Friend Rat, let's stop chatting here. I wonder what you think of my previous proposal?"
After hearing this, the Rat King suddenly looked embarrassed.
"My dear guest, you also know that I am no match for the Twin Kings. If the Twin Kings did not dislike disputes, the Sky Fox King and I would have been destroyed by them long ago."
“Things are different now.”
The young monk smiled mysteriously, "Friend Rat, you don't know that the female of the twin kings has been pregnant for nearly a hundred years. She will give birth in three months at the latest. By then, her strength will have greatly decreased."
"Two kings give birth to a child?!"
The Rat King's expression suddenly changed. "I hadn't heard anything about this before. How did Mr. Li know about this?"
"I naturally have my own channels."
The young monk smiled and said, "You and I will join forces to kill the two kings. I only want their youngest son. You will take over the two kings' territory, and I won't take a cent."
The Rat King's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"
"Of course it's true."
The young cultivator spread his hands and said, "This Rift Demon Valley is full of demonic energy. It will be useless for me to stay here for cultivation. After I capture the twin kings' youngest son, I will immediately return to train my demon pet. How can I care about anything else?"
The Rat King immediately smiled happily and was about to agree directly, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated.
Seeing this, the young monk was not in a hurry. He drank his wine slowly and let him think about it.
After an incense stick of time, the Rat King, his eyes shifting, suddenly gritted his teeth and finally spoke, "Sincerely, my distinguished guest is so sincere, how can I refuse? However, the two kings have many hidden cards, and I'm afraid that just joining forces with you may not be enough."
The young cultivator seemed to have anticipated the Rat King's answer and couldn't help but chuckle, "Fellow Daoist Rat, do you mean... the Sky Fox King?"
"Exactly."
The Rat King nodded repeatedly. "My relationship with the Sky Fox King is average, but it's not as confrontational as the outside world has rumored. With the distinguished guest Xu Chongli before him, the Sky Fox King will definitely be tempted, and I'm sure he won't refuse."
I will send a message to her now, and I can also ask you if there are any suspicious monks over there. Please stay here for a few more days."
The young monk listened with a slight curl of his lips.
The Rat King is greedy and would never be willing to divide the territory with the Sky Fox King. This action is just because he is afraid that the plan will fail and wants to share the risk with the Sky Fox King.
After the Twin Kings City is destroyed, the Rat King will probably immediately turn against the Sky Fox King and fight to the death.
The young monk knew the truth but did not expose it.
He always liked to play tricks on people, but this time he told the Rat King the truth.
He just wanted to capture the Demon King's young son and report back. He really had no interest in the desolate and strange area of the Demon Rift Valley.
At the same time when the young monk agreed to stay, Di Miao had already returned to his own residence and pretended to rest. No one came to ask about it until the evening, so he avoided the eyes and ears of his men and quietly went to the slave prison.
The slave prison was very quiet at night.
Lan Xiu was frightened during the day and began to doze off at night, unaware that the "Si Wu Yue" she was leaning on had been replaced by a paper mannequin.
"Owner!"
In a secluded corner outside the slave prison, Di Miao saw Xiang Sheng, knelt down to greet him, and then told him everything that happened at the banquet.
Xiang Sheng listened expressionlessly, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
The "distinguished guest" Di Miao mentioned was most likely the Fifth Hall Master of the Pantheon. He was clearly looking for her, or perhaps to confirm her death.
He asked about the fragments of the spirit boat, explaining that Fourth Senior Sister and Sixth Junior Brother had successfully escaped and did not fall into their hands.
The Rat King is cooperating with the Pantheon, so he is definitely not the partner of the eldest senior brother. There is no point in staying here any longer. It is better to go to Wantieping as soon as possible to wait for the fourth senior sister and the others.
Having made up his mind, Xiang Sheng directly instructed Di Miao, "As soon as your father's distinguished guests leave, you will use the pretext of a slave trade to send me to Wantieping."
"yes!"
Di Miao agreed immediately. Under the control of the soul-controlling witchcraft, he would not hesitate even if his master asked him to die.
In a blink of an eye, several days passed.
In the past few days, Di Miao was affected by the soul-controlling witchcraft and repeatedly wanted to come to the slave prison to look for Xiang Sheng, but was sent back directly every time.
The Fifth Palace Master is still in the Rat King's territory, and Di Miao is in danger of being discovered if she has frequent contact with her.
During these few days, Xiang Sheng's injuries had been recovering steadily, and his face was no longer as pale as it was at the beginning. However, due to the influence of the dark blue mist, the speed of his body's self-healing had greatly decreased.
It was not until Di Miao sent her the news that the Fifth Palace Master had left that her injuries had recovered to less than 30%.
Half of the one-month deadline had already passed, so Xiang Sheng naturally would not wait any longer and directly ordered Di Miao to implement the plan.
