Seeing that the actor was threatening people to the point where they could hardly make normal expressions, Gao Han spoke up to stop him.
"Stop playing around, it's time to get down to business."
Zhongli Tingzhou stopped his "prank" like a complete slave.
This royal city is called Al Royal City, and there are four other royal cities like this, including two imperial cities and one king city.
Every city has an extremely powerful monarch in charge, and the emperors are in charge of the only imperial city.
"Is that imperial city very big? All the demon emperors are in the same city. Aren't they afraid of being crushed to death?" Zhongli Tingzhou asked curiously with raised eyebrows.
Lord Hill was sweating profusely. In their demon clan, no one dared to say such words. The emperor had great magical powers, so it would not be surprising even if he heard it.
"That Imperial City is indeed very big. It is located at the junction of the Demon Battlefield and the Demon King Continent. The Demon King Continent is what you humans call the Other World. At the beginning, there were not so many emperors in the Imperial City. It was only after they came out of the Demon King Continent that the number gradually increased."
"It's a bit strange to see so many demon kings gathered in one city. Could it be that the seal of the demon species is in the imperial city?" Zhongli Tingzhou looked at Lord Hill speculatively.
Lord Hill's back was covered in cold sweat. "I don't know about that. For such secret events, the emperor would only tell his confidants. But it is also possible that, as you said, the seal of the demon species is inside."
Zhongli Tingzhou looked at him with great interest, and when he was making him feel more and more uncomfortable, he said, "I have never seen a demon like you."
Lord Hill knew that he was mocking him and could only smile awkwardly.
For a demon of his level, with average talent, the journey has been extremely difficult. Not everyone is willing to sacrifice for no reason, let alone for the benefit of others.
He is a small man. He doesn't have any great dreams, nor does he want to be as greedy as others, because he knows very well that he does not have the strength to be greedy enough. He just wants to survive in this war.
What does the demon’s interests have to do with him? Even if he wins in the end, he won’t be the one who reaps the sweetness.
Gao Han had come into contact with people like Lord Hill in his previous life. They also wanted to become stronger, but life was more important than anything else, so they were better at developing themselves in a sneaky way.
As long as they are not discovered, Lord Hill would not dare to reveal their identities, otherwise he would be the first person to die. He is a selfish little man, it's that simple.
"Well, what should we do after we go in?" Lord Hill asked cautiously.
"How strong is Mod?" Gao Han asked.
Lord Hill answered quickly, "He is in the middle stage of the Great Monarch, but he is better than me in actual combat."
Zhongli Tingzhou glanced at him and said, "You don't need to say the last sentence."
Lord Hill silently swallowed a mouthful of blood. Never mind. He was indeed useless anyway, otherwise Crofts would not have looked down on him and sent him to such a remote place in the Southern Region.
Gao Han pondered: "Then he shouldn't be able to see through me."
His current cultivation level is one small realm higher than Mod's. As long as he doesn't deliberately check, Mod won't find out. He is just afraid that Tingzhou will be seen through.
"Don't worry, he can't see through me." After saying that, the aura of the drama queen changed instantly.
If there was still a bit of righteousness of humanity in him the moment before, now he was filled with evil, faintly permeating with a hint of dark demonic energy.
Lord Hill was shocked. This... looked more like a demon than him. He had no idea what was going on with this human or what methods he used.
"So that's how it is." Gao Han nodded.
Lord Hill was still expecting him to say a few more words, but he kept silent.
"Okay, take us into the city. Tell us about the layout of King Al City. Besides Mod, how many other strong men are there, what levels they are at, and how many people there are."
Lord Hill did not dare to disobey and could only talk as he walked. Soon they arrived at the gate of King Al City.
"Lord Hill, aren't you in charge of Hill City in the Southern Region?" The demon guarding the city recognized him at a glance.
No matter how afraid of death he is, he is still a demon at the great monarch level. Despite his bad reputation, no one dares to act rashly in front of him.
As soon as Lord Hill heard this, he knew that the news of Crofts's death had not spread widely in the royal city, so he pretended to be surprised and said, "Don't you know?"
"Don't know what?"
"Nothing, I have something important to discuss with Mod. Did he come back yesterday?" Lord Hill looked heavy-hearted.
The demon guarding the city did not dare to say anything more when seeing this, and only said: "Lord Moder came back yesterday. I did not see him leave in the morning, so he should still be in the city."
Hill City nodded and hurried in with two of his men.
"Why does Lord Hill look as if the sky is falling? Could something have happened in Hill City?"
"Hey, if something really happened in Hill City, it's not surprising. How can a person who is afraid of death defend a city? To be honest, I'm surprised that Hill City has been able to hold out until now without any trouble."
The reputation of Lord Hill had obviously spread far and wide, and many people were talking about him behind his back.
But having a bad reputation also has its advantages.
If the Lord of Hill City was a very upright person, he would not abandon the people in Hill City and escape back by himself, nor would he be willing to be threatened by Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou.
And now, his appearance here is justified, so much so that when Mod heard that Lord Hill had returned, he just frowned and said nothing.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou easily met Mod in person.
Crofts' confidant Maude is a very ordinary-looking demon, hiding in plain sight among the demons.
When he saw City Lord Hill, his brows furrowed tightly. His attention was completely on Hill, not a bit on Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou who were lowering their heads.
"Lord Hill, are you three the only ones who came back alive?"
Lord Hill raised his head, his eyes reddened, "Yes, I was ordered by the Lord to hunt down other human monks. Later, the South Region suddenly changed, and many of my men died. When I returned, I found that Hill City was gone."
Maud probed, "You didn't see the adults?"
The Lord of Hill City shook his head. "No, I found that Hill City was destroyed by humans. There were not many signs of fighting at the scene. To be able to do this, it must be a great master of the human race. I thought that the master was led away by the human race, but I didn't find the master after searching for a long time. I was a little worried about the master, so I came back to find him."
"Come back to see you, sir? I think you are here to seek refuge," Maude said sarcastically.
Everyone in the demon clan knows that Hill is a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death. The master is dead, and this guy is so sensitive. He must be afraid of being killed, so he rushed back in a hurry.
The Lord of Hill City smiled and said, "I saw that you didn't return to Hill City, so I wondered if something big happened."
Seeing that he could not get any useful information from you, Maud waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, I am too lazy to ask you any more questions. Have you seen the powerful human who killed the adults?"
Lord Hill was horrified. "What? The Lord is dead?"
The news did not reach the South Region so quickly, and Mod did not realize that he was acting. He said gloomily: "The master has fallen, not long after his clone was killed. This incident should have been planned by the human race!"
"No wonder the weather in the South Territory suddenly changed. I almost died." Lord Hill was shocked, as if he still couldn't accept Crofts' death.
Mod frowned. He actually hoped that it was Lord Hill who died, but unfortunately God was blind.
Your Excellency, such a powerful person actually perished in the Southern Region.
"What exactly is going on with the changes in the sky in the southern region that you mentioned?"
Lord Hill: "I didn't see it up close, but it seems that something happened in the Fallen Land. I suspect that the lord may have fallen in the Fallen Land. I'm thinking..."
He hesitated to speak.
Maude raised an eyebrow: "Speak!"
Lord Hill immediately said, "If they came prepared, could it be because you have captured someone before? It seems that only a few major sects have such abilities."
Maud slammed the table in front of him into powder, "It must have been done by the cultivators from the Purple Sky Sect."
Lord Hill was shocked. "Purple Sky Sect? Aren't the masters of the Purple Sky Sect in Dayan City? How could they appear in the Southern Region?"
Mo De said angrily: "This time, they have captured several cultivators from the Purple Sky Sect. They will definitely suspect us. The one who killed you is likely to be the Grand Elder of the Purple Sky Sect, Que Hong."
Lord Hill sighed, "But I heard that the chief elder of Zixiao Sect can't leave the sect easily, and it seems that there was also a second elder of Zixiao Sect who was also in the South Region at the time. This second elder's cultivation is also very high. Could he have done it?"
"It's not him." Maude denied it without hesitation.
Gao Han and Zhongli Tingzhou looked at each other secretly without any hesitation. Either Elder Xiao was in Mode's hands, or Mode had met Elder Xiao and done something to him.
The plan went better than expected.
Of course, what they didn't expect was that Lord Hill was more cooperative than expected. They only made "verbal" threats, but Lord Hill had already helped them get a lot of information, and his lies were fulfilled by themselves.
He is so afraid of death that if he is ranked second, I am afraid no one dares to claim to be first.
The worry in my heart was now about 70% relieved. The rest depended on what the Lord of Hill City would do.
Lord Hill felt a sharp edge on his back. He thought about asking Mod for help. If they were two against two, the chance of survival should be greater? But after just a thought, he gave up.
Whether he can survive is a question, the probability is small. Even if he survives, if he cannot kill these two evil stars, his life will definitely be targeted in the future.
This kind of life where one could lose his life at any time and live in uncertainty at any time is definitely not in line with his survival philosophy, so forget it.
"How do you know he's not the second elder of Zixiao Sect?" City Lord Hill pretended to show a hint of just the right amount of doubt.
