Chapter 2259

~6 min read 1,140 words

At this moment, in a hidden cave within a valley, the Demon God looked at the three men in black before him, his expression cold and his eyes filled with killing intent.

If one of the three hadn't spoken their Demon race's language earlier, he would have already attacked.

At this moment, this Demon had absolutely no good feelings toward humans, let alone trust.

These humans were rotten to the core, dirty beyond measure; they were not to be trusted.

"Who are you? What is your purpose? Speak."

He questioned them with a cold gaze. Hearing this, the leader immediately knelt down respectfully and said:

"We pay our respects to you, Lord Demon God."

"Who are you?"

However, the Demon God didn't pay attention to that this time, sneering inwardly.

Don't give me that flowery nonsense. Do you think I'm still the same person I was before? So easily fooled?

"Lord Demon God, we are your most loyal servants..."

As they spoke, the three of them released their demonic aura together. Feeling the aura on the three—which wasn't pure, but was indeed the aura of the Demon race—the Demon God was a bit confused.

What was going on? Meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land?

"I ask, you answer. Confess honestly. If you dare to utter half a lie, you are dead."

After some questioning, the Demon God clarified the identities of the three.

To put it plainly, they were humans who cultivated their Demon race's techniques, but they were not accepted among humans.

They counted as his own people.

After understanding this, the Demon God's attitude softened significantly. Moreover, he was alone right now, had only a half-understanding of the Haotu World, and most importantly, did not know the language.

He indeed needed some helpers by his side.

Immediately, the Demon God accepted the three demonic cultivators.

"You will stay by my side for now and do things for me. As long as you do well, I will take you back to the Demon Realm in the future."

"Thank you, Demon God."

"Get up. Remember, you had better put your heart into the tasks I assign you."

"Yes, yes."

With the help of the three, the Demon God escaped another disaster.

When it came to the art of concealment and escape, these demonic cultivators were indeed not bad; each of them was a master. Even the Demon God was left dumbfounded. Can it really be played like this? How many times must they have run to have such rich escape experience?

What he didn't know was that this wasn't a matter of "how many times"—it had basically become a habit.

Ever since they embarked on the path of demonic cultivation, most of their lives had been spent in flight.

This little matter was just like a daily meal.

Under the guidance of the three demonic cultivators, the Demon God finally arrived at another small city.

But when they arrived at the trio's stronghold, the Demon God frowned slightly and said:

"This is where you live?"

What kind of place is this, damn it?

All around were dilapidated houses, the old, weak, sick, and disabled could be seen everywhere, along with that foul-smelling sewer.

Moreover, the house was also a scene of ruin; the roof beams looked like they would collapse in the next second.

The roof was even more uneven, and there was even a huge hole in it, damn it, with moonlight shining directly into the room.

This environment isn't even as good as the previous cell, damn it.

He looked at the three demonic cultivators with a complex expression.

"You live in this place?"

"Please forgive us, Lord Demon God. These are extraordinary times, and the survival of our Demon race is very difficult."

"That's right. Those human cultivators are simply not human; they have exhausted all means to hunt us down."

"For now, we can only be like this. If we show our faces even a little, we will likely be discovered."

"Lord Demon God, we are suffering."

These three were also smart; they directly started identifying as the Demon race. Facing the Demon God's questioning, they even started a "complaint meeting."

In any case, it was about how miserable the current demonic cultivators were living, many times worse than before.

This life is simply not one for humans to live.

Listening to their complaints, the Demon God impatiently interrupted:

"Alright, alright, we'll talk about these things later. Now, go help me inquire about one thing: the matter of that great battle earlier."

"The battle has already ended."

Hearing this, the three immediately recounted the general course of the battle in detail.

This great battle, to be precise, did not last long, although there were as many as a million Demons.

But facing the various races of the Haotu World led by humans, there was already a gap in strength, not to mention they had been plotted against.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the Demon race was in a suppressed state.

The battle quickly subsided. Many Demons were slaughtered, but even more were captured alive and were currently being held at the Dao One Sacred Land.

That Demon prisoners were being held at the Dao One Sacred Land was something many people knew.

After all, with such a large number, even if they wanted to hide it, they couldn't.

"More than half were captured alive?"

Hearing this, the Demon God's expression turned ugly. He had thought that Bei Zun and the others had been defeated, but he hadn't expected that so many Demon warriors had been captured alive.

Their Demon race always preferred death over surrender; how could so many have been captured alive this time?

Thinking for a moment, the Demon God looked at the three and said:

"Find a way to infiltrate the Dao One Sacred Land. It would be best if you could make contact with those captured Demon warriors."

The Demon God still wanted to understand some things as much as possible.

But hearing this, the three demonic cultivators were simply stunned.

What are you asking us to do?

Infiltrate the Dao One Sacred Land? Why don't you ask us to go to heaven? Is the Dao One Sacred Land a place you can enter just because you want to?

The difficulty of infiltrating the Dao One Sacred Land, to be honest, is no less than the difficulty of them going to the Demon Realm, perhaps even higher.

Immediately, the three shook their heads repeatedly and said with bitter expressions:

"Lord Demon God, it is not that we are unwilling, but that it is simply impossible. The Dao One Sacred Land is the number one human sacred land, and its strength is obvious to all. With our cultivation, let alone infiltrating it, I fear we would be discovered the moment we approached."
