Afterwards, the group discussed in detail the matters to be reported to the Demon Lord of Breaking the Heavens, before Wu Yong and Lin Chong took their leave together.
The next day arrived quickly, and in the early hours of the morning, Wang Yao's eyes inexplicably started twitching. It is said that a twitching left eye means good fortune, while a twitching right eye means bad luck, and it happened to be Wang Yao's right eye that was twitching. This made him even more worried, fearing that the vixen Hu Mei would come to Jinxiu City with the Demon Lord of Breaking the Sky.
Although Wang Yao used "Deceive the Heavens and Cross the Sea" to quickly stop his twitching right eyelid, he was still very uneasy. He finally made it to midnight, and just as the day was about to end, before he could even feel relieved, the middle-aged demon appeared again.
"The City Lord requests your presence," the middle-aged Heavenly Demon said coldly to Wang Yao.
"The Demon Lord of Breaking the Heavens has arrived?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment.
The middle-aged demon remained silent, standing there like a wooden stake, staring blankly at Wang Yao in the darkness. Wang Yao met his gaze indifferently for a while, but ultimately gave in and obediently followed the demon.
The middle-aged demon led Wang Yao to a building in the manor that resembled a temple. If he had seen it during the day, Wang Yao might have mistaken it for the ancestral temple where Lord Lin worshipped his ancestors. However, after entering, Wang Yao realized that this was the place where Lord Lin issued his orders.
Several braziers were burning in the hall, their flames flickering. Hanging in the center of the wall opposite the main entrance was a painting that looked like a ferocious beast, but it was definitely not the type Wang Yao was familiar with. Moreover, due to the limited lighting, Wang Yao could not recognize what it was.
A grand chair was placed in the center of the hall, and a guy with horns on his head, who looked like a bull demon, sat on the chair. City Lord Lin and a tall and imposing man stood in the hall. Wang Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them. Fortunately, he did not see Hu Mei and other old acquaintances from the world of demons and monsters.
"My Lord Demon Lord, this is the immortal Wang Yao who took the initiative to report to us the secret passage to the Ocean of No Return leading to the God Realm." Upon seeing Wang Yao enter, City Lord Lin hurriedly and respectfully reported to the horned monster sitting on the grand chair.
"I am grateful for your help, Immortal Wang. I heard that you once served as a member of the Heavenly Court's special investigation team and investigated the rebellion in the Demon Realm. Moreover, the Heavenly Court documents I received also listed some demons in the Demon Realm as wanted persons by the Six Realms. However, there is something I don't quite understand, and I hope you can help explain it to me, Immortal Wang."
Contrary to Wang Yao's expectations, the Bull-Horned Demon Lord's tone was quite approachable and amiable. After listening to City Lord Lin's introduction, he didn't pay attention to the secret passage and instead asked Wang Yao other questions directly.
Regarding the rebellion in the demon realm, Wu Yong had done a lot of research for Lin Chong and Wang Yao beforehand. Moreover, Wang Yao was in the demon realm at the time and was quite familiar with the causes and consequences of the rebellion, so he was not troubled by the issue.
"Lord Demon Lord, please feel free to ask any questions you may have," Wang Yao nodded.
"What kind of treatment do wanted criminals of the Six Realms receive? I think Wang Xian, as a member of the Heavenly Court, should be familiar with it. But why are these traitors from the Demon Realm able to operate openly in the God and Demon Realm, while the Heavenly Court's patrolling generals pretend not to know and don't even go down to the mortal realm to arrest them?"
"The Demon Lord of Breaking the Heavens asked slowly."
Clearly, the three people present had been talking for some time. As soon as the question from the Demon Lord of Breaking the Sky was raised, the hall suddenly fell silent. The eyes of City Lord Lin, the big man, and the Demon Lord of Breaking the Sky all focused on Wang Yao.
This question is incredibly tricky. How could Wang Yao, a mere minor immortal, possibly know about the matters concerning the patrolling celestial generals? But if he doesn't say something immediately, the demon lord in front of him seems to conclude that the Heavenly Court intentionally allows the demon race to rebel, which is not the outcome he wants to see.
Wu Yong probably didn't expect the Demon Lord of Breaking the Heavens to view the issue of the demon race's rebellion from this perspective, so he didn't help Wang Yao prepare a speech beforehand. However, after a moment's thought, Wang Yao recalled the process of the Heavenly Court's pursuit of Xi Fu, and gradually gained a better understanding of the situation.
"The reason is simple: because the demon rebels always collude with foreign demons. At present, the Heavenly Court's attitude towards foreign demons is rather contradictory. The patrolling heavenly generals are probably afraid of causing trouble and being punished by the Heavenly Court, so they turn a blind eye to the demon rebels in the realm of gods and demons."
Wang Yao bowed and replied.
"So, according to you, the current free state of the demon race is entirely due to the protection of the foreign demons? Could it be understood that the Heavenly Court is currently maintaining a friendly relationship with the foreign demons and trying to avoid conflicts with them?" The Demon Lord of Breaking Heaven asked with great interest.
"I am only a low-ranking official in the Heavenly Court and it is difficult for me to understand the thoughts of the higher-ups. However, I believe that everything in the world has its limits. Even if the higher-ups of the Heavenly Court have no intention of antagonizing the foreign devils, if the foreign devils interfere too much in our Six Realms, I believe that the Heavenly Court will definitely react in time."
"Furthermore, the realm of gods and demons has always been resistant to the Heavenly Court's interference in its affairs. Therefore, the Heavenly Court is very cautious about matters involving the realm of gods and demons. However, if the realm of gods and demons were to make a request to the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court would probably not stand idly by," Wang Yao replied loudly.
"Therefore, I believe that the slackness of the patrolling celestial generals does not actually represent the true thoughts of the Heavenly Court. The Demon Lord should know that the execution of orders by subordinates will always be distorted according to the attitude of the superiors. I have seen a living example of this in Jinxiu City."
Wang Yao then gave the Demon Lord a detailed account of the scene of refusing to help someone in distress in front of Nangang Hospital.
"Are all the officials in Jinxiu City under your command heartless? Otherwise, why would they let that female demon die of illness in front of Nangang Hospital, without even taking a break for a medical check-up to save her life?"
"This is utterly absurd for any race in the Six Realms! I believe a major reason is that the City Lord's Mansion has issued a very serious order regarding this city-wide physical examination. I guess the gist of it is that nothing is allowed to interfere with the normal conduct of the city-wide physical examination!"
