Master's Chief Disciple

Chapter 138 Scheming

Huan Wuyun, who had fled in panic, was wandering around the Beiyao Continent, thinking about her next plan. Looking at the two tribes of demons and monsters fighting in front of her, a plan emerged in her mind.

In the Demon Moon Palace, Rong Yuan and Ling Gu returned to the palace and told the Demon Lord the whole story. "It's just... Wu Xing was captured..."

But the Demon Lord had no expression on his face, and even said sarcastically, "Everyone is useless! They can't even handle Cangyun City."

"High Priest, where are the city lords of Beiyao Continent?"

"The mayors of Molan City and Ziyou City have been transformed into puppets by our clan."

"Should we let them attack Cangyun City directly?"

Demon Lord Yue Ming had this idea. He wanted them to lead the charge, and then they would take over Cangyun City in one fell swoop. Just as he was hesitating, a demon soldier ran in and said, "Demon Lord, there is a powerful human being outside the palace who wants to see you."

"Oh?"

"Invite him in."

The man was wearing a black cloak and a red mask, and he was wrapped tightly inside and out. Only his eyes could be seen. "Who is coming?"

"Huan... Yun has met the Demon Lord. This time I came here to discuss cooperation with him."

"Hmph, you want to discuss cooperation with me?"

"That's right, Demon Lord, there is no need to doubt me. I just came to you for my own selfish interests."

Yue Ming saw that this person exuded the aura of a quasi-immortal king, but he did not dare to move. "This person's origin is unknown. Is he really doing this for his own selfish interests?"

Seeing that he had not said anything, Huanyun spoke up, "If the Demon Lord is not interested, Huanyun will not force it."

"It's a pity that I have such information at hand." After saying this, he was about to leave.

"Wait, tell me how you want to talk?"

A smug look appeared on the man's face, and a look of triumph appeared in his eyes. "I have traveled throughout the entire metaverse and know a lot about the entire metaverse, including the ancient divine feather. I have just arrived in Beiyao Continent not long ago. I heard that the Demon Lord is looking for the trace of the divine feather?"

A look of shock appeared on the Demon Lord's face. He waved his hand to signal the others to retreat, then stood up from the throne and walked forward. At this moment, Huanyun's heart began to beat non-stop, "Could it be that he has discovered my identity?"

The Demon Lord smiled in a friendly manner, but in the next moment he revealed a murderous intent, "I'm very curious, why did you tell me this news?"

"Why? Don't you want to take the divine feather for yourself?"

Huanyun tried to calm his trembling heart and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, there is no need to speculate on what I am thinking. What is important is the news I brought. I am short of time, so please make a decision as soon as possible."

"You humans are becoming more and more interesting, hahaha."

"Tell me, where is Shen Yu?"

"Before that, I have a condition, please agree to it, Lord Demon."

Yue Ming rushed out with murderous intent upon hearing this. Huan Yun naturally did not show weakness and released his own pressure. The man and the demon confronted each other for a long time. "No one has ever dared to negotiate with me."

"Well, for the sake of Shen Yu, I will generously grant you this privilege."

The Demon Lord put away his murderous aura, and Huanyun also put away his pressure. "Please, Demon Lord, withdraw the demon soldiers from Beiyao Continent."

The Demon Lord was really provoked by his words this time. He came to him in an instant and quickly threw a fierce attack at him. Huan Yunxin was startled and dodged it. "I guess the Demon Lord is not a person who keeps his promises."

The demonic energy condensed in Yue Ming's hand gradually faded away. He waved his hand back, rolled up his sleeves, and sat back on the throne, with a look of dissatisfaction and anger on his face. Huan Yun continued to speak after seeing him calm down, "The Demon Lord is quite violent. I was treated like this before I could even finish my words."

After saying that, he patted the dust off his body, then looked around and said with disgust, "This palace of the Demon Lord is quite old, and there is dust everywhere."

Yue Ming's fingers tightly grasped the throne, making a harsh sound, but for Shen Yu he could only endure it. After waiting for a long time, he continued to speak, "Letting the Demon Lord withdraw the demon soldiers from Beiyao Continent is naturally related to Shen Yu."

The Demon Lord coughed twice in embarrassment when he heard this. It turned out that he had misunderstood him. "Come here, please take a seat and bring up the best tea and food."

As soon as he finished speaking, several women came in and made some arrangements. A smile appeared in Huanyun's eyes.

"Because the divine feather is now in Cangyun City."

The Demon Lord immediately understood his intention, "Withdrawing the troops and focusing on attacking Cangyun City is a good strategy."

Huanyun thought smugly in his heart, "Humph, I've been fooled!"

"But this Cangyun City is so big, it's hard to find..."

"Of course it's in a certain woman, but her strength is far superior to ours. Whether you can obtain the divine feather is up to you, the Demon Lord."

Huanyun snorted in his heart, "Idiot, just focus on attacking Cangyun City. When the time comes, I will just find a chance to sneak into Cangyun City and take Han Qixi away."

"Then I will take my leave."

After saying this, he left the place in an instant, leaving Yue Ming who was still thinking.

In Quxian Pavilion, Mu Huayan went alone to interrogate the captured demon Wu Xing. After seeing the newcomer, Wu Xing became alert, "Miss, there is no need to be so nervous. I just..."

Before Mu Huayan could finish her words, she said angrily, "I won't say anything, just give up on this idea."

Mu Huayan smiled calmly and stroked her hair. "The information you told me may not be useful to me. I came here just to see who the so-called demons are."

Wu Xing crossed his arms in front of his chest and rolled his eyes, "Has that enough? Don't even think about getting any information from me."

"I heard that you demons also like to kill like the monsters, and you always like to make enemies with us humans."

Wu Xing realized that she was trying to trick him, so he interrupted her, "What do you want to say? No need to beat around the bush!"

Mu Huayan chuckled and then burst into laughter, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"why are you laughing!"

"I laugh at you demons and monsters, you are all emotionless trash. Even if you suddenly die one day, you will leave this world without a trace."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Xing's mentality began to collapse little by little, his brows slightly wrinkled, and his eyes kept rolling.

Then Mu Huayan said with a smile, "Do you know? Many demon leaders died at my hands, but the interesting thing is that demons are also afraid of death. I thought they were just willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of their tribe."

Wu Xing's mentality had almost collapsed. He was sweating profusely, his eyes were wide open and extremely scary, and his mouth began to tremble non-stop. "No, no, the Demon Lord will definitely come to save me."

"Of course, I also know a lot about you demons, so..."

As she spoke, Mu Huayan gradually approached her. As she heard the footsteps getting closer, she became more and more panicked. Mu Huayan lifted her chin and said with a smile, "So you demons will also be defeated by me."

"Such a beautiful girl, but she is a demon. What a pity."

"City Master Gu, I've finished looking at it. The rest is up to you."

Then Gu Lan walked in from outside, bringing with him a few casual cultivators, "Execute them on the spot, with the punishment of fire and thunder."

This sentence kept echoing in her ears, and suddenly she recalled the battle with Meng Li that day. She felt unprecedented warmth. The demons really have never had any emotions. They have a body but no temperature.

Wu Xing felt as if her throat was blocked by something and she couldn't breathe. This was the first time she felt the fear of death. "I, I..."

Mu Huayan paused when she heard the voice, and with a wave of her hand, all the monks stopped what they were doing and retreated.

Gu Lan walked forward and asked coldly, "Do you have anything to say before you die?"

"Do you know what we humans call this? It's called last words."

Wu Xing shivered with fear, then squatted down weakly with tears in her eyes. She felt inexplicably strange and unfamiliar because the demons had never shed a tear.

At this moment, she was thinking about why she came to this world and why she became a demon. Do demons really like killing?

"Emotions... I... cried..."

When Wu Xing raised his eyes, Gu Lan was really frightened and took a few steps back unconsciously, "The demon tribe is actually crying..."

After reciting it in his mind, he looked at Mu Huayan outside the door. She nodded, and then Gu Lan and his men left the room.

About two hours later, Mu Huayan returned to the room again. Before she could speak, Wu Xing hesitated and said, "If I..."

"Your identity as a demon cannot be erased, but I will protect you."

"How will you guarantee it?"

"This attic is very safe. I will set up a formation by then."

"I'm still worried. After all, the Demon Lord's strength is extremely terrifying."

She just didn't believe what Mu Huayan said, so Mu Huayan chanted a spell in front of her, and then a protective shield protected the attic. "Can you rest assured now?"

Wu Xing nodded, "I think the only thing that can be of use to you is that the Demon Lord has sent the Heavenly Demon to other places outside the Beiyao Continent to look for the whereabouts of Shen Yu."

"Naiyu left before him. You should know the strength of Tianmo. As for Naiyu, I don't interact with her very often. If my guess is correct, her strength should be the same as Tianmo's."

"The Demon Lord is looking for the Divine Feather in order to unlock the seal of the Void Demon Beast. He did not specify what it is for."

"How many demon generals does the Demon Lord have?"

"As far as I know, including me and the two of them, there is also a man named Rong Yuan and Ling Gu, a total of five people."

"Tell me the rest of the news you know."

"There is also a high priest beside the Demon Lord. I don't know the role of the high priest in the clan."

"That's all the news I know."

Mu Huayan pretended to turn her head away and then inadvertently entered the depths of her consciousness and found that she was not lying. What was rare was that she had not done anything to harm the human race. She was actually a clean demon.
