When he agreed, Salami was overjoyed: "Then I'll wait for your news."
"But how will I contact you then?" Zuan asked curiously.
Salami thought for a moment, then handed him half of the jade pendant, while holding the other half in her hand and showing it off, saying, "When the time comes, you can input your vital energy into the jade pendant, and I will be able to sense it. I will come to see you then."
"Okay, wait for my news." Zu An put the jade pendant away.
"We need to hurry, otherwise Uncle Mo might suffer some kind of torment, and his life might be in danger." Salami's face was full of worry.
Zuan nodded: "I need to go back and think about how to persuade the Demon Lord."
Salami hummed in agreement: "Indeed, this is no easy task after all. I won't bother you any longer. I'll go and organize my men to be ready for a rescue at any time."
After saying his farewell, Zu An returned to his cave and recounted the events that had just transpired.
"These remnants of the Lord of Slaughter are far too unreliable; they were caught so easily." Jiang Luofu couldn't help but worry. "Cooperating with them will do more harm than good."
"Don't worry, I just want to use the chaos caused by their breaking into the palace to rescue Morgad to get to the treasury," Zaun laughed.
Yun Yuqing was taken aback: "Aren't we waiting for Salami's people to help?"
Zuan shook his head slightly: "It's unwise to place your hopes on others. It's more reliable to seize such a good opportunity yourself."
“That’s true,” Yun Yuqing nodded. “Have you thought of a way to lure away the Demon Lord?”
"I haven't thought of it yet, but I already have a rough idea in mind," Zuan replied.
Xie Daoyun couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that things we consider impossible are nothing to Brother Zu."
Zuan smiled slightly and said, "Actually, it's a matter of habit. If you feel that something is impossible, you will find countless reasons why it can't be done. But as long as you eliminate distractions and first determine that it can be done, you won't think about those impossible situations. You will only focus your energy on how to do it, and it will be easier to come up with a solution."
The women seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this. Jiang Luofu couldn't help but take another look at Zu An, thinking to herself how much blood and fire that young man had endured to develop such a calm and composed mindset.
I used to think of him as a little boy, but now I find him to be a very charming man.
At this moment, Pei Mianman picked up the half of the jade pendant and said with a half-smile, "That Salami actually gave you half a jade pendant. Is the other half with him?"
Zuan nodded: "That's right. After I've settled things here, I'll channel my energy into the jade pendant, and her jade pendant will sense it and she'll come to see me immediately."
To be on the safe side, I have laid down layers of soundproofing around the jade pendant ever since I got it back, so that Salami can't do anything to it.
"It sounds like a token of love between young lovers." Pei Mianman's teasing expression grew even stronger.
The others nodded in agreement, clearly indicating that the person who sent the gift was someone with an unusual relationship.
Sorenshi couldn't help but whisper, "That young lady wouldn't happen to have feelings for Brother Zu, would she?"
Zaun's breath caught in his throat upon hearing this, and the image of Salami's face flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but shudder: "You're overthinking it. She just wanted to get the news as soon as possible to rescue Morgard."
He then took out the jade slips and medicinal herbs he had obtained earlier: "These are array knowledge, pharmacopoeia, and some special medicinal herbs that I obtained from Salame. Let's take this opportunity to study them carefully."
Xie Daoyun and Ji Xiaoxi were overjoyed. One held the array jade slip in her hand, and the other cherished the medicine book jade slip. They needed these now. With this systematic knowledge, their next task would be much easier.
Although the others were not skilled in formations or medical and poison techniques, they wanted to learn as much as they could, hoping it would be of help later.
As Zuan took the array jade slip, intending to study it, the voice of the demon envoy in front of the palace suddenly came from outside: "Donar, I just received a message from the master, summoning you to the palace."
Upon hearing this, the women's expressions changed slightly, and they all looked at Zu An with concern.
“Azu, you just came back from the palace, and now you’re being sent back so soon? Is there something wrong with the previous investigation?” Pei Mianman nervously grabbed Zu’an’s hand, afraid that he would leave her side.
“Indeed, the fact that they've come to find you in such a hurry means something must have gone wrong. I think we probably can't go this time. We were lucky last time, but we'll have to come again. We're afraid our luck won't be so good this time.” Jiang Luofu also looked worried.
Zuan pondered for a moment and reassured everyone, "Don't worry, this time there shouldn't be any major problems. If it really is the Demon Lord who wants to capture me, then the Demon Envoy in front of the palace wouldn't be so polite."
Everyone was taken aback, recalling the arrogant and domineering manner of the demon envoy in front of the palace, and felt that what he said did make some sense.
I couldn't help but secretly admire Ah Zu for being truly extraordinary, able to keenly perceive such a detail at such a critical moment.
“It just so happens that I also need to lure away the Demon Lord. I can settle this matter when I see him this time.” Zuan told the women not to worry and to use this time to study the formations and medicine books before getting up and walking outside.
Soon, led by the demon messenger in front of the palace, they returned to the palace. The demon lord sat on the high platform, teasing the three-headed monster bird beside him.
"Greetings, Lord!" Zuan bowed.
"Do you know why I summoned you back so quickly?" the Demon Lord asked.
"I don't know, please give me your guidance, my lord." After observing closely several times, Zuan was weighing whether a sudden attack could directly defeat the opponent, but he determined that the chance of success was extremely slim each time.
