“I know this immortal. You all keep a close watch on him. I’ll need him after we’re done with the Sun-Shooting Divine Realm.” A clear, cold female voice rang out, and Wang Yao’s mind snapped back to reality. At the same time, he suddenly realized who this woman was.
He had never actually met this woman before, but he had indeed crossed paths with her. That was why Wang Yao felt she was familiar, yet couldn't remember where he had seen her before. Only after hearing the woman's voice did Wang Yao realize who she was.
This must be the Great Vehicle Hu Mei of the Qingqiu Clan that the fairy mentioned, right? Wang Yao had heard her voice in Wangxiang Valley of the Demon Realm, but because he was restrained by the foreign god Thor at the time, he lost consciousness before he even saw her fox form.
The thought that he had been captured by a demon realm Mahayana cultivator by mistake made Wang Yao dejected. He had no intention of resisting and obediently let a fierce demon carry him away.
"Forged by gods and demons?" In front of him was a tall, bald man with a nine-headed bird tattooed on his face. The man's attitude was quite amiable, and he kept smiling at Wang Yao.
Wang Yao remained standing there with a blank expression, as if he had not yet recovered from Hu Mei's gaze.
This is a room in the basement of the castle. It doesn't look like a prison cell. There are no instruments of torture or chains or other creepy things inside. There's a simple wooden table, a wooden stool, and a small wooden bed. However, the door seems to be made of some kind of metal and looks quite thick and sturdy.
A torch burned weakly on the wall of the room.
The bald man came over and dismissed the fierce demon who had dragged Wang Yao in. Wang Yao noticed that he didn't have the signature black wings of the fierce demon, so he guessed that he was either a mad demon or a celestial demon or some other powerful demon, someone he couldn't deal with.
"Logically, if you see an immortal being forged by gods and demons, you should kill them immediately. However, if you cooperate, it's not impossible to spare you." The bald man didn't pay attention to Wang Yao's expression and continued speaking to himself.
"So, are you interested in talking to me?" The bald man's smile remained unchanged. The torchlight illuminated the tattoos on his face and his scarred, bald head, which was completely devoid of hair, making him look ferocious and terrifying.
Wang Yao still maintained a dazed and confused appearance, with a trickle of saliva slowly dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Don't think that just because that fox said it would spare you, we won't dare to kill you. Don't forget, this is the Demon Realm, where we've always been used to doing whatever we want. Of course, if you're a God and Demon Forger, you should have a life-extending clone, but a life-extending clone isn't always useful."
The bald man continued speaking slowly, his eyes scanning Wang Yao up and down.
“Most importantly, that fox isn’t your friend. Rather than falling into her hands, it would be more advantageous for you to cooperate with me. Since you’re here, your mission must be to deal with the divine realm. There’s no conflict between us.” The bald man said, spreading his hands out.
"So when I said I'd spare you, it wasn't just empty talk. I can even protect you and not hand you over to that fox..." The bald man suddenly brought his face closer to Wang Yao, his expression turning serious.
"If you keep pretending to be stupid, I believe you will definitely regret it..." He was about to say some threatening words when a voice suddenly called out from outside the door.
"Old Lu, the Demon Lord wants to see you!"
"Understood." The bald man agreed but did not leave immediately. Instead, he frowned and stared at Wang Yao for a while longer.
“You don’t look like a fool. I advise you to think this over carefully. I’ll come back in a bit.” The bald man reminded Wang Yao again, then turned and opened the heavy door to leave.
As soon as the bald man left, Wang Yao breathed a long sigh of relief, but he didn't move. Instead, he stood there, his mind racing.
Why would this powerful demon try to win me over? My cultivation level is far too low to even catch his eye. And this isn't the first time he's encountered a demon forger; there's no reason for him to be so polite and persuasive. The only possibility is…
Wang Yao's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered a casual remark Hu Mei had made earlier: "After finishing the matters of the Sun-Shooting Divine Realm..." Without the mission prompt, there would be nothing wrong with that remark, but the mission clearly asked him to change the battle situation between the gods and demons in the "Great Swamp Divine Realm".
In this way, the phrase "Sun-Shooting Divine Realm" was enough to evoke a lot of associations for Wang Yao. Based on his behavior in the previous trials, he should have landed near the target of the mission, which means that the so-called Great Swamp Divine Realm should be not far from this Eternal Night City.
But why would Hu Mei mention the "Sun-Shooting Divine Realm" again? That's the lair of General Shan and General Pei, and Wang Yao had overheard snippets of their conversations. He felt that the "Sun-Shooting Divine Realm" should be a relatively powerful divine realm in the divine world, at least much stronger than that so-called Sea-Reclaiming Divine Realm.
Could it be...? Wang Yao recalled the words he had overheard at the castle's lookout hole, "The demon here is going to humiliate the other masters..." His thoughts began to race.
Wang Yao listened intently to the sound outside the door, but there was no other noise. He then gritted his teeth and silently called out to Aunt Tian.
"You're out?" Aunt Tian's voice immediately echoed in Wang Yao's mind.
“I am currently in the Eternal Night City of the Demon Realm. I have definite intelligence that the Demon Clan will launch a large-scale attack on the Sun-Shooting Divine Realm. At least two Mahayana cultivators will be involved. You must immediately have your God Lord withdraw the troops from the Great Swamp Divine Realm and go to support the Sun-Shooting Divine Realm,” Wang Yao said urgently.
"What...what nonsense are you spouting? How could our God Lord mobilize the army of the Great Swamp Divine Realm, not to mention that a fierce battle is raging there? Do you...do you know what you're saying?" Aunt Tian seemed extremely surprised and scolded him repeatedly.
