However, Wu Yong was a unique figure in the Demon Realm. Although his cultivation level was not high, only at the Heavenly Demon Realm, he did not have any such kinship with other demons, including the Lord Demon. To put it bluntly, if he died, other demons would not die with him, and if other demons died, he would not be implicated in the slightest.
This kind of being, who has no ties to the Demon Realm, is the most suitable to oversee the Decapitation Demon Realm at this time. After all, the original system of joint liability in the Decapitation Demon Realm has been completely abolished. No matter who the other five Demon Realms send to manage it, the manager will inevitably be deeply involved with the Demon Realm they were in the past.
This is something that the various demon lords do not want to see, and conversely, it is also extremely detrimental to the re-establishment of their collective responsibility in the Demon Realm. Therefore, Wu Yong's identity, which was originally considered "useless" by the demons, became very useful under this specific opportunity.
Of course, his more than one hundred brothers in the Demon Realm must have also contributed to this matter. Otherwise, no matter how eccentric he was, it would have been impossible for him to rule over a region of the Demon Realm with actual power comparable to that of other Demon Lords, simply by virtue of his status as a Heavenly Demon.
"Whether it's temporary or not, congratulations! Who knows, after you take control of the Demon Realm, your cultivation level might advance by leaps and bounds, and you might even become the Demon Lord." Wang Yao thought this through and then congratulated Wu Yong with a big smile.
"No, no, I'm extremely cautious, as if walking on thin ice..."
Wu Yong shook his head repeatedly, his expression extremely complicated. Although he was now fortunate enough to control a region, he knew that the vast Demon Realm was full of hidden talents and that there were probably quite a few who coveted him. As the saying goes, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Wu Yong was well aware of the trouble that this identity might bring.
Let alone guarding the Demon Realm of Execution, even just figuring out how to keep his life in this position would be a huge headache for our Mr. Wu Yong.
"We're friends now, so if you ever need anything in the future, just let me know. I'll do my best to help. I have other things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now!" Wang Yao said, doing Wu Yong a favor without spending any money, and then used "Traceless" to disappear into the distance.
Upon hearing Wang Yao's polite words, Wu Yong's face lit up with joy. Regardless of whether Wang Yao could see him or not, he hurriedly clasped his hands and bowed deeply to the ground.
"I thank Immortal Wang for his great kindness!" Wu Yong cried out in a shrill voice.
Wang Yao didn't know the location of Golden Horn Bay. He had only heard Zuo Guangdou mention it once and knew that the place should not be far from the Burial Demon Abyss. So he chose to go to the old site of Dark Moon Village first, and then call the Lord of Reclamation of the Sea to ask her to send her subordinates to pick him up.
Not long after, a rider flew over from the sky. When he got closer, Wang Yao couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't know why he kept running into familiar faces today. This was none other than Pei Yuanqing, the rider he had encountered several times in the God and Demon Realm.
However, this young man was missing an arm, which greatly surprised Wang Yao when he saw him.
“You…” Wang Yao asked in astonishment, pointing to Pei Yuanqing’s missing arm.
"It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about. Is your 'Immortal Sorrow' still around?" Pei Yuanqing asked Wang Yao with a smile and a shake of his head.
"Still here...you...this won't stop you from shooting arrows, will it?" Wang Yao remembered that a large part of Pei Yuanqing's skills were archery. Now that he was missing an arm, he wondered if it would have any impact.
"It's alright. Our divine race uses divine power to control techniques. Whether the divine body is missing or not doesn't matter much. In fact, the God Lord also intended to restore my divine body, but I refused his kindness. Seeing this severed arm all the time is good for me," Pei Yuanqing said nonchalantly.
"You... couldn't this have been done by the demons...?" Wang Yao was startled by the implied meaning in Pei Yuanqing's tone, thinking that this young general Pei was young and impetuous and had offended some powerful being from the divine realm.
"Hehe, Wang Xian, you misunderstand. My injury can only be the work of that demon cub. However, since I am injured, it is due to my lack of skill. So keeping this severed arm can also remind me not to slack off in my future cultivation." Pei Yuanqing hurriedly explained to Wang Yao when he saw that he had misunderstood.
"Oh..." Wang Yao finally understood, and then took out "Xianjianchou" and flew south along the coastline with Pei Yuanqing.
After passing a series of towering mountains, the vast and boundless Ocean of No Return suddenly appeared before Wang Yao's eyes. Pei Yuanqing led Wang Yao to continue flying forward along the coast, chasing the seabirds. Wang Yao discovered that the coastal land was gradually becoming less deserted, and he could see many demons and gods working together.
They seemed to be clearing away the accumulated silt, pruning plants, clearing farmland, and restoring former buildings, which made Wang Yao feel as if he were in another world. When did the gods and demons start working together?
"How... how come there are demons down there?" Wang Yao asked in astonishment.
"Playing tricks, huh? The Zheng fellow can't be lumped together with our divine race," Pei Yuanqing said vaguely, his expression slightly grim. As they went further, they saw more and more gods and demons working on the ground.
Leaving behind this scene of harmony between gods and demons, Wang Yao and Pei Yuanqing flew into the Ocean of No Return, and soon discovered an island on the ocean surface.
The island is crescent-shaped, with the gap in the crescent facing the mainland in the distance. The island is surrounded by a ring of mountains, but only on the side facing the mainland does it open its arms, with a silvery-white beach spreading out in front of Wang Yao. The flat terrain extends all the way into the depths of the island.
Looking down from the air, one can see that there are also many gods and demons active on the island. Wang Yao discovered that on the open beach facing the mainland, there seemed to be many high-level powerful beings forming a large circle.
Because he was too far away, he couldn't see clearly whether those guys were playing drop the handkerchief or doing something else.
