Because the Demon Lord had previously gone straight for the thieves in the vault and let them go, both Morgard and she felt a strong sense of crisis, as if the Demon Lord no longer cared about them. They knew that the longer the time dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
Therefore, the Lord of Slaughter must be rescued as soon as possible, for only he can contend with the Lord of Demons.
Of course, there's no need to tell Zuan the reason behind this.
“Three days is too tight,” Zu An frowned. Although he was already building the formation, it was impossible to complete it in three days.
"Five days at most. If it goes any longer, the Demon Lord will easily detect the disturbance, and then it will all be over." Salami's expression was solemn. Now everything in the underground city is under constant control. The Demon Lord will receive news of the slightest disturbance. Five days is the limit of what can be delayed.
Zu An thought that even if the Demon Lord found out, she wouldn't say anything. Of course, to avoid arousing her suspicion, he still agreed.
Salami nodded in satisfaction and then discussed some details of the upcoming cooperation with him.
During this time, she suddenly looked at him sensitively: "I seem to have noticed several times that you seemed to want to say something but stopped yourself. Is it because you want to say something to me?"
Zuan smiled slightly: "Miss, you are overthinking it. I am just admiring your meticulous planning."
He did consider telling her that the Demon Lord knew everything, and whether they could unite their power to deal with the Demon Lord. After all, of the three forces, he and Salami were significantly weaker than the Demon Lord could muster.
However, he eventually dismissed the idea. Firstly, the Lord of Slaughter was already dead, and could even be considered to have died indirectly at his hands, so the two sides were destined to turn against each other.
More importantly, the Demon Lord was clearly aware of her plans, yet she and Morgard remained completely in the dark, suggesting that the disparity in strength between the two sides was likely greater than they had anticipated.
Moreover, all of this indicates that she is likely surrounded by spies. If he tells her the truth, there's no guarantee that the secret won't be leaked, which would put him in danger.
So it's better to say nothing. Now that the two sides are allies, we can use her power to deal with the Demon Lord without her holding us back.
Feeling his sincere praise, Salami was particularly pleased: "Haha, you're not bad either. I originally thought you were just a lecherous playboy, but now it seems that was just an act on your part."
Zuan smiled but did not explain.
After their conversation, the two parted ways. Salami watched Zaun's departing figure, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Mogard, his body bandaged, appeared beside her: "Young lady, do you really believe this kid?"
"Of course I don't believe it. He's hiding so well, why would he obediently do things for us?" Salami sneered repeatedly, showing no trace of the pleasant conversation they had just had.
Mogard quietly made a gesture: "How about we wait until he finishes making the array, then..."
Salami shook her head slightly: "No, we still need him for now. Let's talk about it when we get to the cultivation world. When we see Father then, whatever his plans are, they will all be in vain."
A hint of fanaticism appeared on Mogard's face: "The old master's cultivation is extraordinary, and a mere Donar naturally cannot cause any trouble. However, the Demon Lord's strength has increased by leaps and bounds in recent years..."
“Don’t worry,” Salami said calmly. “Father has a way to deal with not only the Lord of Demons, but also that Doomsday Beast outside.”
A strange light flashed in Mogard's eyes: "I wonder what method the old master has to deal with that Doomsday Beast?"
“We’ll know when the time comes.” Salami didn’t answer. “Let’s go, we should get on with our own business.”
"Yes!" Moghad followed her figure and disappeared into the distance.
...
After returning to his cave, Zu'an specially set up various isolation formations around the cave before summoning the women for a meeting.
Because the matter was so important, even Jiang Luofu attended.
During this time, Zuan glanced at her again, only to find that she was indifferent and didn't look at him at all. He was slightly taken aback, then chuckled to himself. It seemed that she was still blaming him in her heart.
Of course, he had no time to worry about these things now, and instead told everyone about Salami's plan and his own thoughts.
The women all looked solemn and actively helped him fill in the gaps in his knowledge.
They were all among the most intelligent people in the world, each with extensive knowledge and experience. After a discussion, they made Zaun's plan more complete and detailed.
Over the next few days, the group went about their own tasks. Zuan took a break and returned to his room. He took off the pendant around his neck and entered the blessed land.
Compared to the harsh environment of the underground city, the scenery of the blessed land is exceptionally elegant with its small bridges and flowing water.
Zuan arrived at the wooden house in the center, where a jade coffin stood quietly. Qiu Honglei lay quietly inside, like a sleeping beauty.
I didn't expect that she still hadn't woken up after so long...
Just as Zu An was getting worried, a pleasant voice came from outside the door: "Miss Qiu's complexion has improved a lot recently, and she should wake up soon."
Zuan then noticed that Qiu Honglei's skin in the jade coffin was rosy and delicate, much better than the terrifying paleness that had appeared before, as if the flame of life would be extinguished by a gust of wind. It seemed that he had indeed been blinded by concern.
He then turned around and looked at Jing Teng, who was wearing a dress that resembled a cheongsam. He couldn't help but admire how well the dress accentuated her figure.
It not only perfectly outlines her graceful figure, but also makes her appear exceptionally gifted.
