Just like that, Diao Deyi was able to go against the current and climb his way up to a position in Yangshen Hall.
The imnse pressure he must have withstood, the humiliations he endured, and the costly, agonizing efforts it took to get there.
Knowing the feeling of having no capable subordinates to rely on, Green Demon could empathize deeply.
Now that he had power himself, he naturally wouldn’t want Diao Deyi to be in a difficult position.
Pausing, Green Demon continued speaking.
"Diao Deyi, I’ve just started working under the Shu Bird Demon, and my position isn’t yet stable, so I don’t have many people at my disposal."
"The three demons I can send you now are already the limit within my authority."
"True, these three demons are not as good as the guards sent by the Shu Bird Demon from outside, but their strength is sufficient to handle most situations."
Having said all that, Fang Yu naturally could not make any further excuses.
Moreover, it was just outside assistance from the Foolish Underworld, similar to the existence of Bie Huzi, and they would only respond to a secret code.
Such auxiliary demons should not have any impact on him.
At worst, he just wouldn’t activate them.
After noting down the secret code and corresponding identities, Fang Yu felt a stir in his heart and lowered his voice to say,
"Brother Qing, there’s sothing I don’t know whether I should ntion."
Green Demon raised his brow.
"Between you and , there’s no need for secrets. Speak your mind."
Fang Yu frowned slightly, glancing toward the door, or more precisely, the guard stationed outside.
"The Shu Bird Demon has assigned a demon to follow you day and night, calling it a guard, but I’m afraid it’s also for surveillance."
Green Demon laughed out loud.
"I thought it was sothing serious. There’s no need to doubt, besides guarding, the demon outside indeed has orders to monitor . Even more, should I beco an obstacle or show potential betrayal, the demon outside would be given direct orders to kill ."
His smile began to grow a bit ferocious.
"I don’t mind the Shu Bird Demon using this thod. In fact, if our roles were reversed, I would do exactly the sa. A new follower always needs to be tested over ti before we can fully trust them."
"But truly, I have no intention of betraying the Shu Bird Demon. I abandoned Lord Lan to join the Shu Bird Demon in search of advancent, not opposition."
"I will climb up. When I beco strong enough, my relationship with the Shu Bird Demon won’t be oppositional but collaborative, or we might coexist independently."
"Don’t worry, I’m quite safe here."
Hearing this, Fang Yu feigned a sigh of relief.
"Then that’s good."
While Green Demon was looking at him with a llow expression, Fang Yu suddenly asked,
"Rember the night of your molting? You said the Lin Family Patriarch was also present, right? What happened to him after that? What exactly took place that night?"
Green Demon’s expression beca serious when Fang Yu brought this up.
"Even if you didn’t ask, I was about to tell you."
"Diao Deyi, listen carefully. The following words should not be disclosed to anyone. Even if other demons ask, you must act as if you know nothing. Understand?"
Fang Yu looked surprised, imdiately sat up straight, and nodded solemnly with a serious deanor.
Seeing his reaction, Green Demon then slowly uttered a statent while looking at Fang Yu.
"The Lin Family Patriarch, Lin Yiqiu, is dead."
These few words instantly set off a huge wave in Fang Yu’s heart.
Even though he had speculated as much, he still couldn’t believe it upon hearing the news.
That Lin Yiqiu?
The old monster whose 8,000 blood points were only one of his many layers is actually dead.
Killed by demons!
That was the Patriarch of the Lin Family.
A leading clan among the Five Great Families!
The power of the Five Great Families was sothing Fang Yu had often heard about.
They are the representatives of the top human combat forces.
And now, they’re telling that one of the Five Great Families is gone.
And as for the Li Family, Green Demon and Li Shiquan are both demons, they’ve practically infiltrated the Li Family to a great extent.
What does this an?
What about the Five Great Families? More like Five Weak Chickens!
We’re dood. Humanity is gone!
Isn’t Tianyuan Town screwed?
Maybe... I should just take my second sister and join the demons?
Fang Yu was overwheld by a torrent of thoughts and his brain was racing. When he rembered that Green Demon was still watching him,
he quickly widened his eyes to feign ’excitent’.
"Then, doesn’t that an..."
Green Demon slowly nodded.
"That’s right, just as you are thinking, the Lin Family has basically fallen into our hands."
"Basically?" Fang Yu felt he caught a key word.
"Yes, just basically. There are so loose ends that are not so easy to deal with. But the Shu Bird Demon and the others have co up with a solution, or rather, they’ve been preparing for this for a long ti."
"What’s the plan?" Fang Yu asked curiously.
"Very simple. During the opening period of the Li Family trials, the Lin Family and Li Family will have a prolonged, many-days-lasting death battle!"
Green Demon picked up the teapot, lifted the lid, dipped a finger in the tea, and drew two circles and a line on the table.
The circles were on both sides, with the line in the middle, separating the two circles.
Then he dipped all five fingers in tea and flicked drops erratically across the two circles.
Instantly, both circles were dotted with tea droplets of varying sizes.
"The left is the Lin Family, the right, the Li Family."
"Both families have arranged for a great number of demons to infiltrate and replace them."
"But it’s not enough."
"Their numbers are far from sufficient to compare with the original human counts of the two big families."
"The most cautious thod, naturally, would be to thodically arrange for demons to replace them bit by bit, starting from the bottom and working up to the higher ranks."
