The wolf king looked at Xia Changan with a tangled face and said unhappily, "Your Majesty, it's not that I look down on you. But you can't even save yourself now, how can you have the energy to save my family?"
"The demon king wants to use you as a hostage to threaten humans. Even if you temporarily escape, what good will it do? Once the war starts, you will have no chance to escape back to Zhongzhou."
"At this time, it doesn't matter whether you are in the hands of the Demon King or not. For the Demon King, as long as the Central Plains is leaderless, it is a great opportunity."
The wolf king knew that time was tight, so he spoke a lot in one breath. He thought he was putting himself in Xia Changan's shoes, but he didn't know that the other party didn't appreciate it at all.
Xia Changan said indifferently: "If I want to, the demon king can't stop me. What's more, even if I don't go to Zhongzhou, humans will not be leaderless. I told you long ago that we humans don't want to fight. I will naturally win over as many people as I can. Just tell me the place where the demon king is holding your family. If I rescue them, you have to stand on the side of the peace faction."
The wolf king's expression gradually became serious. He had never been so conflicted before, even when he was forced by the demon king to be his lackey.
It would be fine if he was alone, but he had to bring his family with him. A small move could affect the whole body, so he was really a little cautious.
Even though the Demon King isn't completely normal in his head, his own strength and the power he controls are definitely strong.
The Wolf King knew very well that with just a few men like him, he was no match for the Demon King, so he simply surrendered to the Demon King.
It was precisely because of this that the Wolf King didn't think that Xia Changan could rescue his family under the Demon King's nose.
Firstly, Xia Changan was alone, at most he was just a temporary partner with Yao and Huoyan, two people whose relationship was unclear. Secondly, Xia Changan's cultivation level was not enough to be placed among thousands of troops.
The wolf king felt that his brain had not been kicked by a donkey, so he decisively rejected Xia Changan's proposal.
"I'm sorry, I can't put my family's lives in danger. I won't turn to you. Since I'm not as skilled as you, you can kill me or chop me up as you please!" The wolf king stiffened his neck, looking like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
At this time, Yaohe, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "What if I ask you to join my camp? Wolf King, are you willing to follow me and save the people from danger?"
The wolf king's eyes visibly lit up, but soon dimmed again.
"I am truly ashamed of the high hopes placed on me by His Royal Highness. Although I have a heart for the people, I do not want to leave my family behind. I cannot follow His Royal Highness around, but my subordinates can be used by His Royal Highness. The demon king's temper is becoming increasingly difficult to predict, and I am truly afraid that he will kill all of my relatives. Now the only way to save my family is for me to die in battle."
The wolf king's words were very tragic and heroic, and anyone who heard them would sigh and say, "What a kind and righteous man." Unfortunately, Xia Changan didn't buy his words at all.
She sneered, "How stupid! You also said that the demon king is now in a moody state. How do you know that after you die in battle, he won't kill your family members to vent his anger? In the final analysis, your family members were captured by the demon king. If you want to keep them safe, you must not die. Not only must you not die, but you must also find a way to get them out as soon as possible. Otherwise, things will get worse."
A thunderclap suddenly rang in the Wolf King's mind. Xia Changan said that he had thought about it before, but he had no other choice but to go down the dark path.
Now that Xia Changan said this, it was like tearing his fig leaf to pieces, making it impossible for him to deceive himself anymore.
Yaohe felt very sorry when he saw the Wolf King's painful expression, so he once again extended an olive branch.
"Wolf King, you used to be the most spirited warrior in the tribe, how come you have become so cowardly now? Your family is still waiting for you to save them, how can you just want to die like this? I will ask you one last time, do you want to help me stop this disaster?"
Yaohe was obviously irritated by the wolf king's cowardly attitude of giving up the fight, and he actually changed his gentle attitude to a tone of anger at the wolf king's lack of fighting spirit.
This actually made Xia Changan feel somewhat fresh. He didn't expect this demon to be so imposing when he got angry.
Perhaps it was the rare aura of Yaohe that intimidated the Wolf King. This time he did not refuse outright, but knelt on his knees and replied loudly: "Your Highness's order! I am willing to serve you and save my people from the war!"
That's it? He didn't even ask Yaohe to help him save his family? Xia Changan found it incredible.
What is the aura of a king? It's just like what Yao did just now! This move looks pretty good, she has to remember it well, maybe she can use it in the future.
Although the Wolf King did not mention it, Yaohe was kind-hearted and naturally could not bear to see his own people hurting their family members. After repeated questioning by them, the Wolf King finally revealed the place where his family members were imprisoned.
"What did you say! Brother, you actually dug out a secret room under the palace? When did you start the construction? I knew nothing about this!" Yaohe was shocked.
The Wolf King sighed and said, "Not only that. There are many guards with strange strength in the secret room. Most of our people were killed or injured before they even got close."
Xia Changan and Yao He frowned at the same time. They both wanted to be infected with the devil's energy. Yes, she should have thought of it earlier. Even the demon king was infected with the devil's energy, so he could naturally train other subordinates who were infected with the devil's energy.
Xia Changan knew where the secret room that the Wolf King mentioned was. When she sneaked into the palace before, she had already scanned the entire palace. She had already mastered the palace from inside to outside, from top to bottom.
At this time, Xia Changan knew a very safe and secret tunnel that could lead directly to the secret room from underground.
Since they had already convinced the Wolf King, they naturally left immediately. After all, this place was not very safe.
In order to facilitate the action, Xia Changan took advantage of the time while on the road to distribute the inspiration to these newly-minted allies.
Only then did the Wolf King understand why Xia Changan could say so confidently that he was not afraid of not being able to return to Zhongzhou. It turned out that it was because he had such a convenient tool.
The allies felt that compared to Xia Changan, they were just a bunch of bumpkins. It was actually a dimensionality reduction attack.
After Xia Changan sent them the three-dimensional map of the palace, they were even more shocked.
"You humans call this a map? This is simply a scaled-down model of the palace. How did you do it? Was it when you stole the palace that day? You are so fast at drawing the map!" The wolf king suspected the beast as he hurried on his way.
Xia Changan said disapprovingly: "It's not that I'm too good, it's that you're too inexperienced. This is just the basic operation. Later we will sneak into the palace through the secret passage I drew with the red line. As long as we're not too unlucky, we will definitely be able to rescue your family successfully."
Now, the Wolf King really believed in Xia Changan's ability. It turned out that their demon beasts were too poor at transforming into water, which made him behave like a frog in a well. Oh, how embarrassing.
The wolf king's face turned red, and he felt that he was on the right side. If Xia Changan used these tricks on him, his old bones would definitely not be able to withstand it.
There were quite a lot of them, so in order to conceal their whereabouts, they split up into several groups and fled in different directions. Also, because they needed to keep a low profile when saving people, only a dozen or so of the Wolf King's trusted followers participated in the operation.
It was low-key, but this lineup really made Xia Changan feel insecure. For the sake of their allies, she gritted her teeth and gave them a few psychic pistols.
"We agreed that these are just temporarily lent to you. You have to return them to me after you are done." Xia Changan lent out the few stocks he had with a reluctant look on his face.
As soon as the psychic weapon appeared, it immediately stunned the monsters and they couldn't let it go.
With these weapons as their trump cards, even though they only have a dozen people, they feel much more confident.
The group headed straight for the secret room with a clear goal. Although they encountered someone checking them halfway and were accidentally discovered by the other party, they relied on the power of their psychic weapons to get out.
They directly defeated the interrogators with thunderous means. After truly witnessing the power of psychic weapons, Yaohe and others looked at Xia Changan with even more admiration.
