"What a cunning scoundrel! He even dares to deceive the Demon Lord!" Upon hearing Wang Yao's words, the fat fox demon was filled with righteous indignation and kicked Wang Yao hard.
"You mean, the Heavenly Court didn't come to the Demon Realm to hunt us down in a big way because they were worried about the Demon Lord and the others?" Hu Mei asked, frowning.
"Of course, if the Heavenly Court were to descend openly, it would inevitably clash with the Demon Realm. That's why they devised a plan for a secret capture, which is why we were needed to come and gather intelligence first." Wang Yao thought to himself that Hu Mei's imagination was truly impressive, and hurriedly echoed her.
"We're right here, so why don't you report this to us? You're really the Heavenly Court's lackeys, a bunch of lapdogs." A fox demon cursed angrily from the side.
"Hu Quan, go and inform Tang Jin to find the Demon Lord of Breaking the Heavens and get a full understanding of the situation in the Divine Realm of Reclaiming the Sea and the Divine Realm of Sealing Gods. He must know every detail, the more detailed the better. Tang Jin is mature and prudent, he should be able to handle it. Have him report to me immediately after he has finished." Hu Mei suddenly turned her head and said.
“Ancestor, this…” The woman named Hu Quan was a pretty girl of similar age to Qing Ning. After hearing Hu Mei’s words, she seemed very hesitant and did not immediately accept the order.
"Ah Quan, in order to bring this immortal here, the ancestor had no choice but to make a major decision and agreed to many conditions of the Demon Lord of Breaking the Sky. Don't worry, there will be no danger on this trip. Just hurry up and do it. Actually, you can't hide the fact that you are here from the Demon Lord and the others. Everyone is just pretending to be stupid."
Hu Mei didn't take Hu Quan's attitude to heart, and instead explained it to her in a gentle manner.
"Qingning, you have a lot of contact with Yangshen, so quickly contact Robin and tell him that I have something urgent to discuss with him. Ask him to meet me in three days at a place called Qingtianzhu in the Execution Demon Realm. Tell him to remember to bring his men with him." Hu Mei instructed again.
Qing Ning agreed and left with Hu Quan.
"Now tell me, besides you, who are the other five members of this investigation team, and where are they hiding?" After arranging things, Hu Mei turned to ask Wang Yao.
Wang Yao had no choice but to explain the names, cultivation levels, and positions in the Heavenly Court of Feng Huan, Teacher Luo, Li Shishi, and other fellow forging practitioners.
As for where they were hiding, that remained unknown, since each of them acted alone and Wang Yao had no means of contact with them. These words caused Hu Mei to frown deeply.
"Why is the investigation team so weak this time? Back in the Holy Domain, you had a Nascent Soul Realm expert leading the team. How come you've sent two Nascent Soul Realm experts to lead the team this time?" Hu Mei asked, puzzled.
"The main reason is that this mission requires special concealment. If the cultivation level is lower, it will be less likely to attract attention," Wang Yao hurriedly explained.
"How long have you been operating in the Demon Realm? What intelligence have you collected and reported to us?" Hu Mei's questions were becoming increasingly difficult for Wang Yao to answer.
"We haven't been in the Demon Realm for long. Didn't we just meet you in Eternal Night City? We haven't had time to report anything to our superiors yet," Wang Yao replied vaguely.
"You filthy scoundrel, what do you mean 'you'? Call me 'Ancestor'!" The fat fox demon leaped forward again and kicked Wang Yao hard.
"I remember back in Eternal Night City, you were only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, right? It's only been less than two years, and you've already reached the Golden Core stage. Moreover, it seems to me that you've reached the mid-Golden Core stage. You couldn't access spiritual energy in the Demon Realm, so how did you advance to this level?"
Hu Mei seemed oblivious to the fat fox demon's angry rebuke, and suddenly asked thoughtfully.
When Wang Yao was asked this question, cold sweat immediately poured down his back. Hu Mei's question was very close to the truth about the forging of gods and demons. It's just that this demon may not have thought of this because of her status, or perhaps because she was wanted by the Heavenly Court, her focus was off.
Otherwise, if she thought about it carefully, it shouldn't be difficult for her to discover that Wang Yao is a forger of gods and demons.
“Well… we spend most of our time cultivating in the Heavenly Court, and only come to the Demon Realm when we receive a specific mission. Last time we came, it was at the request of City Lord Lu, to specifically investigate the city sacrifice of Eternal Night City.” Wang Yao hurriedly tried to divert Hu Mei’s attention.
"Could Lu Da, the lord of Eternal Night City, be a henchman of the Heavenly Court?" Hu Mei's expression was indeed shocked, and her eyes widened instantly.
"That's right. His brother, Li Kui, was originally a member of our Heavenly Court's investigation team. He went to the Holy Realm with us last time. Influenced by his brother, Lord Lu has long been our Heavenly Court's informant in the Demon Realm."
Wang Yao nodded repeatedly, silently bowing deeply to Lu Da. "Old Lu, I'm sorry. Who told you to be such a scoundrel? If it weren't for Lord Lin standing by and doing nothing, I wouldn't have fallen into Hu Mei's hands. Now I have no choice but to use you as a token of my loyalty."
Anyway, we were planning to recruit you as a downline anyway. Before that, we want you to make some contributions for us. What's that saying again? This is the organization's test for you!
"After you left Eternal Night City and returned to the Heavenly Court, did you not report the city sacrifice? You said you didn't have time to report the information to your superiors. I think you're not being honest!" Hu Mei didn't dwell on Lu Da's matter anymore, but looked at Wang Yao and smiled slightly.
Lies always leave traces, especially since Wang Yao told this lie under Hu Mei's intense pressure. How could he have considered everything? Before he knew it, Hu Mei had caught him red-handed.
"I...I was captured by you...by the Ancestor as soon as I entered Eternal Night City. I didn't find out anything, so how could I have any intelligence worth reporting?" Wang Yao hurriedly pretended to be aggrieved.
"What do you mean you were caught by me? You just ended up back in Lu Da's hands, didn't you?" Hu Mei shook her head.
