Chapter 641 - 588: Nangong Xuan in Trouble
Agreed to it?
As soon as these words were spoken, the group of demon pseudo-gods below all showed expressions of surprise.
They had not expected the Ape Demon Clan Leader to agree so readily, without a shred of hesitation.
The human cultivators on this side were also slightly surprised.
He had initially thought that as an emissary, he would have to put in a lot of effort to persuade the Ape Demon Clan Leader to agree with him, but the Clan Leader’s decisive agreement rendered all his prepared words useless.
The Ape Demon Clan Leader sneered, "What? Are you unwilling now that I’ve agreed so readily? How about this: we’ll only agree after both sides have fought to the point of heavy casualties — would that seem normal to you?"
Upon hearing this, the human cultivator showed a look of understanding.
"Indeed worthy of being the Clan Leader of the demon pseudo-gods, truly decisive. Very well, in that case, I will now return to report."
He understood the Ape Demon Clan Leader’s intention because neither side wanted the original inhabitants to reap benefits while they fought each other to the death.
Whatever the original inhabitants’ intentions were, initially, everyone was unclear, but now that there were clues and they knew what these people intended, neither the human side nor the demon pseudo-gods hoped these inhabitants would intervene when their battle was at its most brutal.
At that point, they wouldn’t be able to deal with them, and only death would await them.
Given that, it was better to collaborate beforehand; this might even bring some benefits.
The human cultivator soon left, without any further delay.
Only the demon pseudo-gods remained here.
The Ape Demon Clan Leader looked at the restless clansmen, sneering, "I know some of you may doubt my decision, but now, at this juncture, this is the only feasible method. If you still have doubts, then I have three words — mercy will not be shown!"
As these words were uttered, a cold breeze swept around, lowering the surrounding temperature considerably.
Many demon pseudo-gods felt a chill reach their hearts.
They dared not hesitate any longer, and all knelt down, saying, "We obey the Clan Leader’s every command."
Soon, the area returned to silence.
...
Reincarnation City.
Wang Xue Ming, after receiving the message from the human cultivator, breathed a sigh of relief and conveyed the information to Gu Yuan.
At that moment, Gu Yuan was having tea and chatting leisurely with Qin An. After receiving the message, Gu Yuan also informed Qin An.
While the human cultivator was away at the demon pseudo-gods’ location, Gu Yuan continued chatting with Qin An.
He was very curious about what kind of person would be targeted by these original inhabitants of the Forbidden Area.
Through the chat, Gu Yuan gained a general understanding of Qin An and held a very high opinion of him.
Not only was Qin An calm and composed, but his strength was also exceptionally formidable. Although he had only just entered the Tripod Aspiration Realm, the aura he occasionally exuded still made Gu Yuan feel some pressure.
"Mr. Qin, your plan has succeeded; once the Wang Clan Leader takes the blood oath, we can temporarily collaborate with the demon pseudo-gods and catch the original inhabitants off guard."
Gu Yuan spoke satisfactorily.
"Given the clear situation, I will first take my leave and inform my colleagues of this information."
Qin An nodded, allowing Gu Yuan to leave.
Yue Wushuang, sitting beside them, showed a slightly relaxed smile, "If that’s the case, our pressure will be reduced significantly."
Qin An took a light sip from his teacup, remarking, "We can’t let our guard down just yet, after all, who knows if the original inhabitants have any other plans."
After a brief discussion, the two said no more and quickly returned to their rooms, eager to regain their energy.
Meanwhile, the message spread like wildfire, reaching the ears of every Forbidden Land Envoy.
Some were puzzled, not understanding its meaning.
Some had grasped certain reasons.
But most were very satisfied with Gu Yuan’s suggestion, not only because he was the leader of this mission but also because this decision incurred no losses.
Yet in one room, Nangong Xuan sat with his head lowered after receiving the message.
His eyes were clouded and gloomy, and veins bulged on his forehead.
He took a deep breath and pulled out a piece of semi-transparent white jade from his chest.
When he took out the semi-transparent white jade, he infused it with a force without hesitation.
Under the glow of the white jade, a voice emerged from it.
"What has happened? How dare you contact us first, are you not afraid of exposing your identity?"
Nangong Xuan took a deep breath, relayed the information he had received, then said, "You intend to deal with Qin An, but now he has devised a countermeasure; it seems your information was leaked. What should we do now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, silence fell on the other end.
A moment later, another voice came through.
"For now, do not concern yourself with this matter. Continue to serve as our informant; I will immediately notify the master, who will have a countermeasure."
Nangong Xuan clenched his fist, "Enough with countermeasures. It was through your backing that I secured the position of Forbidden Land Silver Envoy."
"If anything happens to you, I am likely to be exposed as well, so please think of a plan quickly. If I can assist in any way, I surely will."
He was a smart man, fully aware of how he obtained the position of Forbidden Land Silver Envoy, and knew that if the other side were truly annihilated, his identity would definitely be compromised.
