Chapter 2262: Reopen the Furnace!

If the Book of Heaven Demon and the Flame Mouse truly did this thing, it would be unthinkable—surviving three hundred Bone-Shaving Whippings is not something everyone can endure.

The Yellow Wind Demon also wanted to help them, but unfortunately, they were powerless.

"We can only obey the Demon Emperor's orders, because we still carry the demon clan's poison!"

"We have it too!"

Hearing the Book of Heaven Demon and the Flame Mouse say this, the Yellow Wind Demon felt deep shame—he knew this matter was especially critical.

Moreover, the Demon Emperor deeply distrusted these Demon Saints, having planted the demon clan's unique poison in each of them—a display of Lei Ting's might.

The other Demon Saints showed no strong reaction.

Yet the Book of Heaven Demon felt the Demon Emperor did this solely to guard against them, and this stirred resentment within them.

The Flame Mouse said: "Should we go find Luo Fu the Sage!?"

"Not yet."

Having barely salvaged his life, the Book of Heaven Demon had no wish to throw it away again—this life had been saved for him by Luo Fu.

The Book of Heaven Demon must repay Luo Fu.

Peering into the Heavenly Secrets is not easily undone; by his lost lifespan, the demon clan has already taken nearly a hundred years from him.

How many more hundreds of years does he have?

The Book of Heaven Demon himself did not know, let alone the other Demon Saints inside the demon boat?

"The Book of Heaven Demon is truly pitiful, but with his ability, if he hadn't gained the Demon Emperor's attention, he'd have been dead and buried long ago."

"True, the Book of Heaven Demon is pitiful, yet also fortunate—both, really."

"If you had to be the Book of Heaven Demon, would you want it?"

"I wouldn't want it—when life and death aren't in your own hands, what good is being the Book of Heaven Demon? What good is peering into the Heavenly Secrets? We need freedom!"

…

Inside the demon clan, everyone was discussing this matter.

Since the incident with Gui Che, they had all been whispering among themselves.

Ling She Island had fallen into an unusual atmosphere of gravity—if things on Ling She Island were as they now stood, why would they do this?

Gui Che probably wouldn't truly think this way, but others would certainly care.

"Certain?"

"Certain!"

"Then go."

Everything that followed, which Gui Che and the others had no choice but to handle, they now already knew—so long as they could explain themselves, that was enough.

Gui Che would also use this moment to prepare what needed preparing.

Fei Lian said: "Didn't we already ask last time? Shang Yang and Fei Dan have both arrived; once we agree with them, we can fully reopen the furnace. What do you think?"

Reopening the furnace is indeed excellent.

But without the raw materials for the Witch-Slaying Sword, how could they forge it?

Gui Che looked at them in disbelief.

"If you want to reopen the furnace, you must ask the Demon Emperor—my lord may not agree to reopen the furnace!"

"Why?"

Fei Dan was puzzled; when he and Ji Meng had spoken before, it wasn't like this—the Demon Emperor had already approved it. How could things suddenly change?

Given the Demon Emperor's desire to overthrow the Witch Clan, this should have gone smoothly—but for some inexplicable reason, Fei Dan felt Gui Che might have a point.

"Then what should we do?"
