"Qingyao...did you still go to see the Ash Demon Lord?"
Shi Gu looked at Mo Qingyao, who had just returned from outside, with a complicated expression. According to his subordinates, she had just returned from the palace of the Ash Demon Lord.
"Teacher~ Hehe~"
"So...you succeeded?"
"Well... how should I put it? Actually, Ash's father knew about my identity a long time ago."
"What!?"
Shi Gu's eyes widened immediately. He had clearly concealed all information about Mo Qingyao related to the Abyss of Calamity. Apart from his continued contact with the current Calamity Demon Lord, Ertahan, there should have been no other information at all!
"Really, I'm not lying to you. Just now, when I confessed to Ash's father, he actually smiled at me."
What else is there to say...
That human was quite good; he had even taught him some sword techniques and combat skills. If it weren't for the orders from the Heart Demon Clan, he wouldn't have participated in this operation.
So Ash's father was the Demon Lord who contributed the second least at the time.
"Wait, the second least contributing?"
"Ah... there's also the Thunder Moon Demon Lord. You know, the Moon Demons have always been relatively neutral. Ash Dad said that he was the one who slacked off the most back then, since the Moon Demon troops haven't participated in any actual combat for so many years. Therefore, in that interception battle from my great-father..."
There were absolutely no casualties among the Moon Demons.
"So what agreement did you reach with the Ash Demon Lord?"
"Hehe~ He promised me that if we can put together a demon king team that can contend with the Abyss Demon and the Skeleton Demon, then he can abstain from voting in the subsequent confrontation. I can imagine that the Thunder Moon Demon Lord will do the same, and there may be other unexpected gains."
"
This is already an unexpected bonus.
Even Shi Gu never expected that those visitors from the Netherworld Abyss would actually be right!
It's unbelievable that the ten demon kings back then could actually be divided and won over.
So, besides the Ash Demon Lord and the Thunder Moon Demon Lord, who else can be won over?
...
"Who else can we win over?"
Liu Lang raised an eyebrow at Mo Qingyao, who had come to his door. "You're asking me?"
How would I know! I'm not some kind of prophetic genius, you should at least give me some information or something, right?
Soon, under Mo Qingyao's orders, Liu Lang found himself surrounded by a stack of intelligence data. Liu Lang, who was already having a headache just looking at it, pulled Liu Shenjun over. The two of them spent three or four hours trying to understand how Liu Zhenyuan had single-handedly held off the entire demon army with just his sword.
“Your dad is a real tough guy, worthy of his name Liu Zhenyuan. First, he bravely entered the abyss of demons, and then he blocked a thousand troops with a single sword. If we can save him, he will truly be a great support for us.”
"Hehe, so that's how I got my kendo talent. Looking at it now, it's all thanks to my dad's good genes. But what's a bit frustrating is why I only inherited kendo and not my dad's luck?"
Liu Shenjun said with some regret, while Liu Lang circled the heads of the five demon kings.
The vanguard force back then was mainly composed of two demon armies, one fallen demon army, one abyss demon army, and one skeleton demon army.
No wonder so many demon kings were chasing Liu Zhenyuan back then.
The demon vanguard he intercepted caused him to offend four of the top demon forces at once.
It's estimated that those demon kings were too lazy to even hold a meeting, and directly decided and voted on the spot, ultimately passing the plan to hunt down Liu Zhenyuan.
Because the leaders are all top-ranked demons, even neutral demon lords will come to fill the ranks after receiving the information.
The Ash Demon King believed that of the ten demon kings from that time, three of them, including him, probably did not want to get involved in this matter.
Therefore, from this perspective, the operation to rescue the Abyss of Calamity becomes much simpler.
However, even though three demon kings did not want to participate in this matter, they still had to agree on it beforehand. If everyone withdrew, the Abyss Demons wouldn't say anything.
However, abstaining is not treason, which means that in the subsequent battles, they will still have to face seven late-stage nine-star demon kings.
Therefore, the rescue operation was scheduled to take place during the Demon Abyss Tournament.
"There's nothing we can do. These demon kings aren't neutral demon kings; they're all subordinate demons of these four races. But at least we should be thankful for one thing."
That means the Demon King of the Heart Demon Clan who was being hunted down back then is dead.
Therefore, we might encounter six late-stage nine-star demon kings later on. Well, of course, I can't be entirely sure.
According to the intelligence, besides the Ash Demon Lord and the Thunder Moon Demon Lord, the only other candidate who can abstain is the War Demon Lord.
Despite their name being War Demons, they don't like 1v1 battles but prefer legion warfare. Yu Tu, the Demon Vanguard Commander who previously led the demon forces in the Northern Region and suppressed the Northern Military Region, was from the War Demon clan.
However, it's hard to say about the other demon kings. After all, they may have been demon kings back then, but after so long, they may have risen to the level of demon lords.
After thoroughly reviewing this intelligence, they began preparing to pack their things and head to the vicinity of the Abyss of Calamity.
Because there they were going to meet a demon king.
That is the Calamity Demon Lord who raised the sealed land, and also Liu Shenjun's maternal uncle - Ertahan!
This mission was once again escorted by Mentor Vesa, while Xiao Dai accompanied Verania to the City of the Abyss to welcome Alex.
After another three or four hours, they finally arrived at the edge of the Abyss of Calamity, where they found a small palace nearby.
Well, needless to say, this is where the Calamity Demon Lord resides.
