"Haha! Both Moonlight Emperor and Ice Emperor have graced us with their presence. We apologize for not welcoming you sooner!"
Satan had sohow beco so...
Hmm! Down-to-earth.
A black robe covered his entire body, revealing only a resolute face.
"Let's talk inside!"
Yang Yan glanced at him and entered the ancient castle first.
Satan seed unbothered.
But Ao Tian showed a look of disbelief.
"The main reason for inviting you today is to inform you of sothing."
Walking through a lengthy corridor, Satan said seriously beside Yang Yan.
Yang Yan stopped, turned his head slightly, and asked blandly:
"How important is this! To receive three invitations in one day?"
Yang Yan was clearly joking, but unexpectedly Satan shook his head, squinting as he said:
"Pressure from Heaven has shifted towards , I'm sowhat anxious, hence my actions."
Yang Yan furrowed his brow slightly, questioning suspiciously:
"With your strength, that shouldn't be the case?"
Satan smiled bitterly and shook his head without answering, making a gesture to proceed.
Yang Yan glanced at him and continued forward.
Before long, they reached a large living room within the castle.
This was likely where Satan usually t his subordinates.
Truth be told, alliances under Satan's rule in Hell are indeed rare.
Or rather, nonexistent.
"Moonlight Emperor, I know your ti is precious, so I'll get to the point."
"According to the intelligence I've received, Manhattan has a secret significant operation recently."
"Judging by his actions and asures, I suspect this action is capable of changing the current world order!"
"Otherwise, Manhattan wouldn't be so ticulous and give it such importance."
"I've inferred this from several unusual details I've discovered by chance."
With that, Satan looked towards Yang Yan.
His narrow eyes were slightly squinted, seemingly expecting Yang Yan to say sothing.
"Worthy of Satan, worthy of Hell."
Yang Yan initially said nothing, instead uttering a seemingly random sentence.
Satan was sowhat surprised.
Was Yang Yan implying that sothing he knew was already known to others?
Otherwise, why say it that way?
Thinking it over, Satan felt relieved.
Given Yang Yan's extraordinary talents and increasingly imnse power, it wasn't surprising.
"Indeed, there is movent on Manhattan's end. But this matter, you needn't worry for now, I can handle it, so don't trouble yourself."
Yang Yan's indifferent attitude left Satan internally unsettled.
However, Satan could only keep his thoughts to himself.
"Satan, if there's nothing else, we should be going; our ti remains quite valuable."
Ao Tian said while lounging with his legs crossed.
If Satan was correct, Manhattan's operation was in the Arctic.
Ao Tian was the one who first discovered this matter, naturally brimming with confidence.
Satan's face was sowhat heavy.
He was the legendary ruler of Hell.
Yet, facing the two n, neither in status nor strength did he surpass them, making any rebuttal impossible.
Satan sighed lightly before saying:
"My apologies for overthinking. Since you both know of this matter, I'm relieved. I won't delay your precious ti any further."
"Hmm!"
Ao Tian nodded gracefully, then stood as if to leave.
Yang Yan and Satan exchanged glances for a full three seconds before Yang Yan suddenly said in a deep voice:
"You still have sothing else to say. I don't have much ti, so speak quickly."
"What is it?"
Stopped by Yang Yan's words, Ao Tian turned back and asked suspiciously.
"Ah… Moonlight Emperor, indeed deserving of the title."
Satan sighed heavily, speaking in a tone of admiration:
"To be frank, this was initially my secret; I haven't even told my closest subordinates."
Speaking, Satan cautiously glanced around.
Indeed, the expansive living room held none of Satan's subordinates.
Moreover, within at least a hundred ters radius, there was not a single person.
Today's conversation was destined for only three people to know.
At this point, having nothing to hide, Satan directly revealed his secret:
"To be honest, I was severely injured recently, my power greatly diminished; I can exert only about two-thirds of my previous strength."
Saying this, Satan gave Yang Yan and Ao Tian a aningful look.
Yang Yan and Ao Tian instantly exchanged quick glances, then shared a knowing smile.
In reality, even now, more remains concealed.
Satan's current strength, unless in extremis, wouldn't even reach one-third!
This has unspoken implications for Satan and Hell.
No wonder he's so anxious.
"I had already noticed your severe injury."
"I was pondering who could have done such, but found no answer."
"Now, directly tell us, what exactly happened?"
Yang Yan asked sternly.
"Indeed, speak up. I too am curious who could achieve this!"
Ao Tian settled back into the sofa, asking with keen interest.
Next, he, not waiting for Satan to speak, mischievously smiled and teased:
"Tell , Satan, wasn't it because you were injured and your power diminished that you sought an alliance with Yang Yan?"
"In that case, Heaven wouldn't target you so overtly, right?"
Satan's expression remained unchanged, unaffected by Ao Tian's words.
He calmly placed his hands on the table before him, saying composedly:
"My injury occurred after forming an alliance with Yang Yan. Hence, your reasoning is incorrect."
Seeing Satan's serious deanor, Ao Tian awkwardly pinched his nose, chuckling wryly without contesting.
Next, Satan looked at Yang Yan.
"My injury wasn't due to external factors, this issue… hmm! It's inconvenient for to explain in detail, forgive ."
"I only hope you could assist . My subordinates likely can't accomplish this task."
"And once we fail, if Manhattan becos aware, I will lose a crucial opportunity, thus…"
Yang Yan cut in directly, articulating coolly:
"So you initially called us here to trade that information for to act on your behalf, right?"
Having Yang Yan bluntly reveal his intention, Satan smiled wryly, nodding:
"Correct, that's precisely it."
Yang Yan said coldly:
"Were it not for the sake of alliance, I wouldn't inquire so much."
Asking so much naturally implied Yang Yan would intervene.
"Now then…"
The matter being critical, Satan hesitated slightly.
He could perceive Yang Yan's intent but required a definitive response.
"Speak up, what do you need! From your tone, it's still regarding Heaven."
Yang Yan said bluntly.
