"Tell me, which race on the continent surrounding Dongchuan possesses such strength? How could I not know? That doesn't seem right."
"I don't know either. The Near East Continent and the Western Desert Continent are currently locked in fierce fighting among themselves. Where would they find the time to come to our Dongchuan? As for the others, by the time they attack, our strength will have already recovered. Wouldn't they have wasted their time?"
The two men stood there, frowning and deep in thought, unable to figure out who their adversary was.
Wang Yao did not participate in the discussion between the two. It was late at night, and Hui Shuo had long since gone to sleep. Wang Yao was there, studying the Ape Elephant Divine Talisman diligently. Wang Yao had a feeling that the Ape Elephant Divine Talisman was not only a task for him, an immortal, but also very likely a key to unlocking the current complex situation in the demon realm.
He had more information than Lady Lian and Commander Lang. At the very least, he knew that the enemy should be a demon clan called the Monkey Clan. This Monkey Clan not only had reborn individuals who could retain their past life memories, but now also had more than ten spirit bodies, with the assistance of the God of the West Robin and Eunuch Wei.
They are not only disrupting the situation on the Dongchuan Continent, but also launching attacks on all five continents of the Demon Realm at the same time. Given the strength of the investigation team, it will be very difficult to stop them.
Wang Yao recalled the fortune-telling predictions by Eunuch Wei that he had read on the tenth floor of the Underworld. The consequences of the monkey tribe unifying the demon realm filled him with deep concern. He had an urgent wish that the fairy could report to the Heavenly Court as soon as possible so that the Heavenly Court could send reinforcements to stop the monkey tribe's conspiracy.
But now, he can't meet with the fairy again, and can only rack his brains to figure out the Ape Elephant Divine Talisman. After all, only by unlocking this thing can he have a certain combat power. Otherwise, right now, Wang Yao is just a bystander in the demon realm, and he can only worry and has no other way to help.
After seeing that the rats he had promised to protect had all become snacks, Li Kui had been quite quiet for a while. When he recovered and was about to give Wang Yao a severe, soul-searching critique, he was startled by Qing He, who was wrapped up like a mummy.
He lowered his head and studied Qinghe for a long time before turning his attention back to Wang Yao when he got bored.
The more he looked at Wang Yao, the angrier he became. This little fairy was too disrespectful to him. A mere clerk who wasn't even at the section level was showing no respect to him, a dignified department-level cadre.
After he came up, he didn't ask a single question, and just kept his head down, fiddling with his books. Li Kui thought to himself, Wang Yao wasn't really trying to decipher any divine talisman; he was just using the deciphering of the talisman to express his contempt for him.
Moreover, Li Kui could tell that Lady Lian seemed to value the talisman very much. He figured that Wang Yao must have used sweet words to deceive this foolish demon from the demon realm into believing that he could unlock the talisman, which was why the great demon valued him so much.
This kid thinks he can mess with me just because he's latched onto a powerful demon? Li Kui sat there thinking for a while, feeling like he'd found the key, and finally couldn't hold back any longer. He strode over to Wang Yao and gave him a hard shove.
"Hey! What are you looking at? You're making weird faces."
"Um... this is the Ape and Elephant Divine Talisman, which is a bit difficult to decipher. This is the Ghostly Scribbles Talisman, which can be used as a reference to decipher the divine talisman. But this is really the Ghostly Scribbles Talisman, and I get dizzy just looking at it."
Wang Yao looked up and answered. He felt that the effect of Hui Shuo's Spiritual Finger was waning. He was already feeling dizzy looking at the scribbled symbols and was hesitating whether he should wake Hui Shuo up and give him another finger.
"Let me take a look... It's just a piece of yellow paper, what the hell is this a talisman? That's bullshit!" Li Kui picked up the Ape and Elephant Divine Talisman and looked at it, but couldn't figure out what it was. Then he muttered and picked up the Ghostly Scribbles Talisman.
"Hey, be careful, this book is making you dizzy," Wang Yao hurriedly advised when he saw this.
"Get out of here! You didn't faint, but I do?" Li Kui shoved him aside, took the talisman in his hand, opened the book and stared at it. He immediately lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"I told you so, but you wouldn't believe me," Wang Yao said, shaking his head.
Li Kui was in a truly terrible mood. Before he set off from the Western Continent, he had come up with an idea to send a telegram to the Shu Clan in the name of the Heavenly Court. As expected, he received a grand welcome as soon as he got off the train in the Shu Clan. Everything was fine except for that devilish girl Qin Su not showing up.
The person sent by the Shu tribe to contact him was a director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Li Kui guessed that the director was a bureau-level cadre. It was a high-level courtesy for a bureau-level cadre to receive a section-level cadre like him. Li Kui was quite pleased with this.
However, Li Kui wasn't stupid. He knew that the Heavenly Court was a level above the Demon Realm, so he naturally regarded this as an equal reception and didn't show any signs of being flattered.
The chief of the Shu tribe adopted a very humble posture, constantly bowing and scraping to Li Kui. Before Li Kui could even speak, he showed great respect for the immortal and offered to unconditionally return all the occupied territory of the Yi tribe. This greatly changed Li Kui's impression of the demon realm.
There are civilized demons in this demon realm, aren't there? They're quite sensible! He immediately felt confident in resolving the conflict between the Yi and Shu clans.
Moreover, he had only mentioned it casually, and he hadn't contacted the Yi Clan before coming, fearing they wouldn't recognize him as a Heavenly Court official. After all, he had left his ceremonial regalia in Heaven and hadn't brought it down. He didn't want the Yi Clan to think he was some swindler from the Immortal Realm, looking so poor and shabby.
Upon hearing this, the director immediately waved his hand and sent him a convoy of cars, and even specially gifted him an extended version of the Rat Treasure as his personal vehicle.
Finally, the director rubbed his hands together and told Li Kui regretfully that the clan had originally wanted to provide him with a team of bodyguards, but the Yi clan was too barbaric, and he was afraid that the bodyguards would end up being wasted...
