"You have served in the Heavenly Court in the past and personally experienced the suppression of the demon realm rebellion. You are well aware of the Heavenly Court's attitude towards rebellion. What I want to remind you is that you must be careful about how you speak to the Demon Lord."
"We must make sure the Demon Lord listens, but we must also be careful because the Demon Lord is a man of great talent and ambition. We must not let him feel that his dignity has been violated, otherwise we may end up making things worse," Wu Yong reminded him solemnly.
"Then there's the matter of the secret passage to the God Realm's Unreturning Ocean. This passage is located in the Execution Demon Realm. Given Lord Potian's personality, he would never want Lord Execution to have this opportunity alone. However, it's inconvenient for the Execution Demon Realm to launch cross-domain military operations, since our Demon Realm doesn't have the precedent of having a region under the God Realm's jurisdiction."
"Therefore, I suggest letting the foreign gods and demons fight this cheap battle, because they are beings from another world. Lord Executioner will only be happy to have such strong reinforcements and will not be too wary. Other demon lords will also agree because it is not related to the balance of the six domains of the demon realm and they can take advantage of the situation."
"Finally, there's the matter of the secret passage. Once you know the general area where the secret passage is located, it won't be difficult to find it. You don't need to hide anything; just tell the Demon Lord the situation directly," Wu Yong said with a smile, stroking his beard.
When Wang Yao heard him mention several things that required his help, he realized that he was not only familiar with them but also that their goals were roughly the same. So he didn't refuse and readily agreed.
"Lord Potian's secret visit this time is probably because he's worried that you'll outwardly comply but inwardly defy him and won't cooperate properly with Hans in the sacrificial arrangements. This kind of thing is probably not an isolated phenomenon in the Demon Realm. The Lord is very likely to forcefully establish his authority, so you must be very careful." Wu Yong turned to Lin Chong and solemnly instructed him.
"Does he really intend to kill me?" Lin Chong's expression suddenly darkened.
“Even if we don’t kill you, using your right-hand men as a scapegoat would be a terrible injustice.” Wu Yong shook his head at Lin Chong with dissatisfaction. “You must pay close attention to the entourage that Lord Potian will bring on this secret visit, especially if Lord Potian travels lightly and comes alone.”
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Chong asked in astonishment.
"Think about it, how sensitive is the city sacrifice? Why would Lord Potian make such a big fuss about it? Besides, based on my understanding of Lord Potian, he doesn't like to deal with his subordinates in front of outsiders."
“So if he comes alone, you must be especially careful. He will most likely provoke you and attack you at any time,” Wu Yong said to Lin Chong.
"Hmm... what if he brings his men with him?" Lin Chong nodded and asked again.
"That depends on who he brings. If it's just ordinary followers, it's probably no different from him coming alone. But if he brings along a main demon other than Brother Lu, you can be a little more at ease. The Demon Lord of Breaking Heaven usually doesn't cause trouble for other main demons' subordinates in front of a main demon."
Wu Yong said thoughtfully.
“What if he brings a foreign god or a demon realm Mahayana cultivator with him?” Wang Yao suddenly asked from the side.
"If Lord Potian really brings them here, then everyone can relax and watch the show. Not to mention Lord Potian, none of the six Demon Lords of the Demon Realm are willing to punish their subordinates in front of outsiders, especially powerful figures from other realms. Wouldn't that be blatantly shameful?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Yong smiled slightly, but still turned to give Lin Chong some instructions.
"However, if such a strange thing really happened, the fact that the Demon Lord's secret visit was accompanied by a powerful figure from another world is quite intriguing. Brother Lin, you should not take this lightly."
“Brother Lin, you can’t take this lightly, and neither can I!” Wang Yao hurriedly said from the side. “You all know that I have grudges against that demon Hu Mei and the foreign god Thor. If we encounter these guys, and I’m not under your Demon Lord’s command, wouldn’t it be even more dangerous?”
Wang Yao recalled the scene that occurred in Eternal Night City and felt that the possibility of encountering such a thing again was extremely high. Wu Yong was just talking nonsense. In Eternal Night City, weren't the Demon Lord, the Foreign God, and monsters all gathered together? What was there to be suspicious or intriguing about?
“Gentlemen, since you are brothers with Lord Lu and Li Kui, you can’t push me into a fire pit! I’ve been through what happened in Eternal Night City. If it weren’t for Lord Lu’s intervention, I would have died at Hu Mei’s hands once already. I think you’d better go and find out about this first.”
"I'll only join you once I've confirmed that no otherworldly Mahayana cultivators are with the Demon Lord. Otherwise, I'd better hide as soon as possible," Wang Yao suggested, his eyes wide.
Upon hearing Wang Yao's words, Wu Yong couldn't help but laugh, and he waved his hand repeatedly at Wang Yao.
“Wang Xian, don’t worry. I heard Lu Da mention that when you were in Eternal Night City, the city sacrifice was already underway. At that time, the Demon Lord, the Foreign Demon, and the rebellious demons were naturally present. After all, the city sacrifice cannot be separated from the Foreign Demon’s presiding. Without a close Mahayana protector, how could the Foreign Demon dare to act with peace of mind? So it’s not surprising that there were powerful beings from other worlds protecting the city sacrifice.”
"However, this time the Demon Lord's secret visit is different. This time, the Demon Lord is just checking the preparations for the city sacrifice in our Jinxiu City. He came here to find out the problems. If he brings those powerful beings from other worlds here at this time, wouldn't the Demon Lord be in great danger of exposing his own shortcomings? That possibility is still very small."
“Even if the possibility is small, it’s still possible. I think it would be better to find out who the Demon Lord’s attendants are before deciding whether I should meet with the Demon Lord,” Wang Yao insisted.
"Lord Potian acts in a mysterious and unpredictable manner. If Brother Yanqing hadn't sent me a message, I wouldn't have even known that he was coming to my Jinxiu City for a secret visit. How could I have known in advance which entourage he would bring?" Lin Chong shook his head repeatedly.
“That will work too. After the Demon Lord’s secret investigation, he will definitely summon Brother Lin first. Brother Lin, once you’ve confirmed that there are no powerful beings from other worlds around the Demon Lord, you can then introduce Wang Xian to him. After all, this is not a high-probability event, so there’s no need to worry about it.” Wu Yong quickly smoothed things over.
