The army then temporarily encamped in the Whispering Forest, using the surprise attack that beheaded the Demon Lord as an example to readjust its battle tactics and make new arrangements for the "Ultimate Thunderbolt" attack. It did not set off again until reinforcements arrived and the army's strength was greater.
After the surprise attack by the Decapitated Demon Lord, Wang Yao became even more cautious. He felt that the demon race was extremely unreasonable, with the Demon Lord himself taking action at the drop of a hat. Who could stand that? If the Decapitated Demon Lord had his eye on him, his few life-extending clones might not be enough.
Despite being extremely cautious, the army's advance was much slower than before. Fortunately, after the Demon Lord's personal sneak attack, the reinforcements were in relatively calm condition. The Whispering Forest was still shrouded in mist, and apart from the Lesser Demon, no other demons caused trouble, and they didn't even encounter any magic warriors.
As the army approached the edge of the Whispering Forest, Wang Yao looked back at the smoke and fire that had lit up the way and couldn't help but sigh. From now on, the Whispering Forest would probably have to be renamed. It was originally a barren forest, and now that it's been burned, what should it be called?
A forest reborn from the ashes? Bah! It's got no trees left, how can it still be called a forest? It's just a wasteland reborn from the ashes, hills reborn from the ashes, or something like that...
Wang Yao was lost in thought when Zhang Liang suddenly rushed over and called him to a stop.
"General, a demon prisoner has arrived from the rear. He says he's an old acquaintance of yours and insists on seeing you." Zhang Liang was in charge of logistics, and any supplies sent from the rear would first pass through him.
"A prisoner? Who is that?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment. In his memory, there was no such thing as taking prisoners in the war between gods and demons. It was extremely rare for this "prisoner" to survive the war between gods and demons. Not just anyone could become a prisoner.
Wang Yao thought that this was actually a very technical job. If you wanted to surrender, you had to give up resistance first, but the enemy might not allow you to surrender. If you gave up resistance first, but the enemy still didn't accept your surrender, wouldn't you die a straightforward death?
So if you want to be a prisoner, you have to have some connections. At the very least, you have to be similar to... to my cheap son, Lu Bu. Yes, Lu Bu! If there are guys like that in the God Realm, the Demon Realm should have them too, but... where in the Demon Realm do I know anyone like Lu Bu?
"A monk, whose identity I don't know either. He was sent from the Great Swamp Divine Realm, and he also brought a personal letter from the Great Swamp God Lord." Zhang Liang was also a little puzzled, and casually handed a letter to Wang Yao.
"A monk? When did the Demon Realm have monks again?" Wang Yao was even more confused now. He picked up the letter and glanced at it briefly. He saw that the letter didn't contain any useful information. It just told Wang Yao not to underestimate this prisoner, as this person might be carrying a major secret of the Demon Realm.
Watching the Great Swamp God Lord ramble on in his letter, Wang Yao guessed that the Great Swamp God Lord himself probably didn't quite understand the prisoner's intentions, but simply did him a favor because the prisoner said that he had a past relationship with him.
But Daze also knew that this matter had been handled too hastily, so he wrote a long, cryptic explanation in the letter, emphasizing the importance of the prisoner. Otherwise, if a prisoner had been sent all the way here, even if Wang Yao had no objection, the other gods would probably have laughed at him to death.
"Hui Shuo, does your Buddhist kingdom also have followers in the Demon Realm?" Wang Yao stopped and asked Hui Shuo.
“The Buddha’s wisdom is profound and his vision is boundless. Not only in the Demon Realm, but in all six realms, where is there no follower of the Buddha?” Hui Shuo replied solemnly.
"Really? Then let's go and meet that evil monk together." Wang Yao nodded.
Zhang Liang ordered his men to escort the demonic monk away, while Wang Yao and Hui Shuo waited by the roadside. Before long, they saw Wei Zheng, accompanied by two ghosts and a demon wearing a black cloak, rushing over.
"General, I discovered on the way that some gods were trying to kill this prisoner. Considering that the two escorting ghosts were not very strong, I was worried about them, so I brought them along." Wei Zheng explained to Wang Yao as he approached.
"Who are you? Why do you want to see me?" Wang Yao nodded to Wei Zheng, then frowned as he looked at the demon being escorted. This man was quite burly, and Wang Yao felt he looked familiar.
"Wang...Wang Xian, I...I've finally seen you..." Upon hearing Wang Yao's voice, the demon prisoner immediately lifted his hood and cried out to Wang Yao. Wei Zheng, who was about to leave, stopped in his tracks in astonishment at the sight.
"Huh? You...aren't you Lord Lu? How...how did you become a monk?" Wang Yao blinked several times in astonishment as he saw the prisoner lift his hood, revealing a large bald head.
Indeed, this demon prisoner was none other than Lu Da, the city lord who had parasitized the Eternal Night City in the Demon Realm. Wang Yao never expected to see him here.
"If I hadn't gotten rid of all those troublesome hairs on my head, how would Lu Da have had the chance to see Wang Xian again? Wang Xian, Lu Da risked his life to see you!" As Lu Da spoke, tears streamed down his face.
When Wang Yao was trapped in Eternal Night City, he was well taken care of by Lu Da. In the end, Lu Da specially ordered his men to release him. Although he accidentally advanced in cultivation and was sent back to the Forging Space by lightning tribulation, some of the affection between him and Lu Da remained.
Moreover, when Wang Yao was adventuring in the Demon Realm, he would often use Lu Da's name. So when he saw Lu Da, who used to be a very dignified man, now crying with his head shaved, Wang Yao couldn't help but feel sad. He quickly led Lu Da away from the army that was on the move.
"Don't cry, don't cry. If there's anything you need, Lord Lu, just tell me. As long as it's something I can help with, I certainly won't refuse," Wang Yao comforted Lu Da in a low voice.
