"Why would Wang Xian inform the Demon Realm of such important information?" the gaunt demon continued to ask, his expression unchanged.
"To be honest, I also have some selfish motives. I really hope that if your Demon Realm confirms this news, you will stop sending scouts to hunt me down." Wang Yao was prepared for this question and answered it seriously.
"Don't worry about such things. Our Demon Realm operates differently from the Gods. Few Demon Realms have the time to send out scouts to hunt down blacksmiths. If a blacksmith dies in our Demon Realm, it's mostly because they offended someone they shouldn't have," the pale-faced giant said with a smile.
"In that case, are you still willing to inform our Demon Realm of this news?" The slender demon smiled and looked at Wang Yao with curiosity.
"Um... is it too late for me to regret it now?" Wang Yao said, feigning helplessness.
"Is there any chance here...?" The pale-faced giant suddenly turned to look at the thin demon and asked ambiguously.
“There is an opportunity, but it mainly depends on the Demon Lord’s will. I think you should invite Brother Lu. In the Demon Lord’s heart, Brother Lu’s words carry much more weight than yours.” The thin demon’s smile faded, and his expression became serious.
"Now tell us about the matter of that foreign god colluding with the demon race and being wanted by the Heavenly Court. You and my brother Li Kui were handling this matter in the demon realm, weren't you?" The pale-faced giant pondered for a moment, then asked Wang Yao.
Wang Yao, naturally adept at this, rattled off a detailed account of what had happened in the demon realm to the two men. By the time he finished speaking, the sky outside was already darkening, and the pale-faced giant and the thin demon stood up one after the other.
“The city-wide physical examination will take a few more days. Next, the foreign god Hans will set up the altar. After that, the Demon Lord, the Great Ascension of the Demon Clan, and the foreign god Saruman will come immediately to perform the ritual. Time is very tight.” The thin demon said to the pale-faced giant with a stern expression.
“So we must go and invite Brother Lu right away. Let’s discuss our strategy first, and then we’ll go together to meet the Demon Lord.” The pale-faced giant nodded, and then looked at Wang Yao.
"You can stay at my magnificent manor for now, so I can consult you anytime if I need anything. Don't worry, your safety is not a problem here," the burly man with a pale face told Wang Yao, before leaving with the lean demon.
Not long after the two left, the middle-aged demon came over again, first asking Wang Yao if he didn't need to eat, and then took him to a fine house in the manor for temporary rest.
This elegant residence is exquisitely furnished, and its environment is particularly serene, surrounded by babbling springs and colorful flowers and trees. It is also far removed from other buildings in the estate, ensuring that there is no disturbance between them.
After listening to the conversation between the burly man and the gaunt demon, Wang Yao knew that Jinxiu City was probably facing the same crisis as Yongye City back then. Judging from the words of the burly man and the gaunt demon, they were probably trying their best to avoid that terrible consequence.
That's obvious. As the lord of Jinxiu City, if all the demons in the city lose their lives, wouldn't he be left all alone? Besides, as the city lord, there must be a few demons in the city who are on good terms with him. Back then, Lu Da begged the Demon Lord for mercy to save the lives of some demons.
The pale-faced, burly Lord Lin must have been instructed by Lu Da that instead of pleading in a lowly manner, it would be better to simply abandon the idea of holding the Demon Lord's City Sacrifice.
Although Lord Lin told Wang Yao not to worry about safety, Wang Yao already knew the situation facing Jinxiu City, so he dared not relax his vigilance in the slightest.
After all, a foreign god lives in the manor now, and since those guys have decided to perform their rituals in Jinxiu City, how could they possibly let their guard down around this city?
Therefore, he lived in the hermitage with utmost honesty. He not only gave up "sensing" but also, after settling in, resumed the "deceiving the heavens and crossing the sea" technique to hide himself as if there was no immortal like him in the manor at all.
Unlike the City of Eternal Night, Jinxiu City has a regular day and night cycle. Wang Yao did not stay in the study for long, but sat by the spring all day, savoring every moment of each forging process, looking for an opportunity to gain insight. By the evening of the second day, the pale-faced burly city lord Lin and the thin demon arrived together again.
“Wang Xian, the situation has changed. Although we arranged for Brother Lu to come tomorrow, we just received news that the Demon Lord has decided to conduct a secret visit to Jinxiu City tomorrow. Therefore, our plan to discuss countermeasures with Brother Lu in advance and then speak to the Demon Lord has become highly uncertain.”
Upon meeting Wang Yao, Lord Lin confessed to him.
“Since you are a friend of my brothers Lu and Li Kui, we will not hide it from you. You witnessed the fate of Eternal Night City with your own eyes. However, our Demon Lord has already accepted the suggestion of the Foreign God to sacrifice the lives of tens of millions of demons in the entire city of Jinxiu to create a powerful demon army.”
“My brother Nalu advised me that the Demon Martial Army’s combat power is not as strong as the Yangshen boasted. We must not let Jinxiu City repeat the mistakes of Yongye City. Moreover, as the city lord of Jinxiu City, even if the Demon Martial Army is truly powerful, how could I, Lin Chong, be willing to let all the demons in the city go to their deaths?”
Lord Lin said loudly to Wang Yao.
"The actions of the foreign gods and the rebellious demons in my demon realm are very strange. They seem to be helping us, but I think they are actually weakening the demon realm. It's just that the demon lords have been troubled by the war between the demon gods for a long time and are eager to break the deadlock, so they have no choice but to drink poison to quench their thirst."
"Our original plan was to discuss with Brother Lu the reason that it was not advisable for our Demon Realm to launch a war against the God Realm for the time being, and then use the information you brought to persuade the Demon Lord to give this opportunity to those foreign gods and demon rebels, and let them attack the God Realm's Unreturning Ocean from the Decapitation Demon Realm."
