Creak.
The door opened.
Entering through the door was a youth she had never seen before, holding a large plate covered with a red cloth.
The matchmaker was instantly taken aback.
"Who are you?"
The youth smiled.
"Matchmaker, who I am is not important; what’s important is who my boss is."
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the matchmaker to respond, the youth suddenly burst into Blood Mist with a bang.
Out of the Blood Mist erged a shadow as tall as a man, tearing away its human skin, its body entwined with vines, an unfamiliar Demon form.
And the tray in his hand, propelled by the wind pressure of the Blood Mist, flew out, revealing its contents.
It was a demon’s head.
Engraved on the head were the words "Tang Shan."
The matchmaker’s expression stiffened and then slowly beca icy cold.
Even in war between states, envoys are spared from the blade.
That Blood Demon sure has so guts!
The matchmaker watched the [Vine Demon] with a chilly gaze.
"Is this his answer?"
[Vine Demon] stood proudly, chest out.
"This is our boss’s answer!"
Buzz!!
The matchmaker raised her hand, and in an instant, it beca a blur.
Ssst!!!
The body of [Vine Demon] was split in half.
The proud expression lingered on the corpse, but it could no longer move.
"How bold... Blood Demon!"
"Without , how will you deal with the Bo Zheng Demon!"
"Don’t ntion whether I will interfere or not, just this foreign enemy alone is enough trouble for you."
The matchmaker’s face was clouded with dark thoughts, her mind racing.
What she thought was a situation well under control had unexpectedly gone awry.
"Fine! Since you have gone this far, don’t bla for being unkind."
"I thought of taking you in as my subordinate, sparing your dog’s life. But you don’t treasure it!"
"Since it’s like this, I will just have to take over your territory with force!"
"It seems that your elite demons below do not get along with you. And that Bo Zheng Demon, it’s ti I invite him to join at Luo Shen Cloth Workshop."
She stepped forward, about to leave the room and issue her commands, when she suddenly felt sothing and abruptly stopped.
With a swoosh, she turned her head towards the corpse on the ground.
"This isn’t right! You actually left a seed behind!"
Indeed!
Her gaze was fixated on the body of the Vine Demon on the ground!
The mont the Vine Demon’s corpse heard the matchmaker’s voice, it stiffened violently, and then the previously lifeless expression suddenly beca animated again.
"Lord Red Moon Demon is indeed Lord Red Moon Demon, able to discern even this. But my seed is not here, and I’ve already conveyed my boss’s ssage, you bothering further is aning...less..."
Its voice trailed off, the body degrading, withering, and collapsing into a pile of roadside vine weeds, unresponsive.
"Hmph!"
The matchmaker scoffed.
She found demons who always have sothing up their sleeve most detestable.
Pretentious on the surface, pretending to be so brave and fervent during desperate tis.
In reality, they just rely on the inherent power of their demon origin to fake death and escape.
"Soone co!"
Thud!
Thud!
The maid hurriedly entered the room.
The matchmaker pulled out the remaining vines from the body and handed them to the maid.
"Find out where this guy has gone and kill him straight away."
"Yes!"
The maid looked down at the vine, plucked so of it, and chewed it in her mouth.
After a while, she seed to sense sothing and took her leave from the matchmaker.
An hour later.
The maid stopped at a street corner, pulled up a new vine sprouting from the ground, roots and all, and without hesitation, chewed and swallowed it.
"Stop... ahhh!!!"
It seed as if a very faint voice was coming from her mouth, but no one on the road noticed.
With so greenish juice splattering from her mouth, she swallowed the vine and returned to Luo Shen Cloth Workshop to report back.
For such demons, their seemingly dead bodies always retain so part of the real body’s seed information.
The sooner it’s acquired, the clearer the location information obtained.
If it goes unnoticed, and one does not suspect, the Vine Demon would have no difficulty in escaping.
But once discovered, especially by soone like Lord Red Moon Demon, who has studied demons for many years and knows their traits, death is almost certain.
One could say that although Lord Red Moon Demon might not be very strong, her research on demon kin is unparalleled in Tianyuan Town.
Although there are many types of demons, they can mostly be classified similarly. Once their characteristics and capabilities are understood, one can almost accurately guess their abilities, naturally, there are also corresponding counterasures.
However, when the maid returned with her report.
The Red Moon Demon had just received a piece of news that she found hard to believe.
"Bo Zheng Demon... is dead???"
That was a powerful demon on par with the Reversed Demon!
Although they had never clashed, she guessed that its power must be comparable to hers! It might even be stronger!
How could such a mighty demon die so suddenly?
Could it be... because of the Blood Demon?
Soone upstairs wanted to protect the Blood Demon??
It was no wonder the Red Moon Demon thought this way.
The circumstances were too strange and coincidental.
The Blood Demon had just killed the Reversed Demon, and it was known that Bo Zheng Demon was coming to kill him.
Then suddenly, Bo Zheng Demon was dead—timing his death just then, who wouldn’t think more about it.
"How did Bo Zheng Demon die?"
The Red Moon Demon asked the maid who was sent to gather information.
The maid imdiately shook her head, saying,
"I don’t know, but I heard that the last ti soone saw Bo Zheng Demon, it seed like he was summoned to do sothing for a Great Demon upstairs. After that, we learned that Bo Zheng Demon was already dead."
"..."
The Red Moon Demon fell silent.
Doing things for a Great Demon.
Dead.
Combining these two pieces of information, one couldn’t help but speculate.
Was it a coincidence, or... did a Great Demon upstairs take the opportunity to execute Bo Zheng Demon under the guise of a mission?
Based on the Red Moon Demon’s years of experience, the latter seed... more likely.
After all, it was too much of a coincidence.
The Blood Demon has such a hard backing??
What a joke!
Even the pure-blooded Green Demon didn’t have such backing!
Where exactly did the Blood Demon co from??
The Red Moon Demon was baffled, suddenly, she found herself unable to see through the fellow who had risen to power by stepping on the body of the Green Demon.
"A brainless one died, and now we’ve got a bigger problem?"
The Red Moon Demon frowned tightly.
At that mont, another maid who had been sent to gather information had also returned.
Seeing the look from the matchmaker, she shook her head and reported,
"Matchmaker, [Rong Qiulu] and [Bo Ange] refused. And they warned , not to have private dealings again, as they fear the new Demon Lord might misunderstand."
The matchmaker’s face darkened.
The ones she wanted to contact were naturally the formidable demons under the Blood Demon’s command, to persuade them to defect and cause so trouble for the Blood Demon.
Unexpectedly... they refused!
Quite the tactic!
Blood Demon!
The matchmaker’s eyes were sombre.
"What about [Chi Zhenjie]? What did he say?"
"He... seed not to be at ho."
Not at ho?
Playing missing?
At this ti?
Maybe he’s like those other two demons, afraid of being associated with her and causing misunderstandings with the Blood Demon!
But his approach was much more subtle, not as direct as those two demons.
Even so, the Red Moon Demon was still very unhappy.
Couldn’t these useless demons see the situation at all!
Do they really believe that following that Blood Demon would lead to a future?
Ridiculous!
The Red Moon Demon looked displeased, her breathing slightly uneven.
Having lost Tang Shan, who sought refuge with her, according to the rules of demons, if she didn’t retaliate, wouldn’t she be seen as inferior in the future?
As for having taken down a Vine Demon in return, it really counted for nothing.
Anyone could see upon comparison that her side, the Red Moon Demon, had lost out.
Although she was very annoyed.
But gradually calming down, she began to realize that she couldn’t be impulsive.
At the very least, she needed to find out if there really were any Great Demons backing the Blood Demon upstairs.
Otherwise, acting rashly would only bring trouble upon herself.
Losing face was only temporary, but losing her life ant losing everything.
"I thought he was a nobody, but he’s got sothing hidden after all."
With a thoughtful expression, the Red Moon Demon began to reevaluate the new Demon Lord, to see what he was truly made of.
