Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

”Are you very familiar with her?” Yang Yu pressed on.

Lingshan shook her head, ”I’ve only met her a few times.

The first time I saw her, she was preparing for the upcoming clan leader contest, but I heard that she lost not long after.

However, she seemed to have fought her way back to become the clan leader of the Wind Wing Hapi Clan through her own efforts.

I haven’t seen her for five or six years now, so barely an acquaintance.”

Trying not to show the joy in his heart, Yang Yu continued to ask, ”You know the island where the Wind Wing Hapi Clan is located, right?”

”Of course I know. I must advise you, humans are best to stay away from there.

Recently, the Hapi have been extremely hostile towards humans.

It’s all because of those greedy slave traders…

Not only the Trun Republic, Luo Ze Empire, but even the Ocean Duchy has its own slave traders, many mermaids and Hapi have suffered greatly at their hands, and the adventurer guild has issued many tasks to arrest them.

When you go to the Ocean Duchy, make sure to avoid these two races.”

Lingshan repeatedly cautioned Yang Yu to stay away from the Hapi Clan, but Yang Yu already had his own plan.

The intelligence on the Demon King’s Vanguard is extremely difficult to collect, so naturally, Yang Yu wouldn’t miss any possible breakthrough.

After dealing with the Curse Sect, he’d go take a look.

The problem is, there isn’t much information on the Curse Sect at the moment...

Yang Yu continued to extract information from [Island Drifting] that might be useful in the future, writing it down in his notebook to avoid forgetting.

Just then, the kidnapped dwarves surprisingly found their own way over.

The abducted dwarves knew that they had been captured by the Curse Sect because of Yang Yu.

Now that they were rescued, they neither blamed Yang Yu nor expressed any gratitude towards him.

Because those dwarves had seen from afar how Yang Yu casually chatted with [Island Drifting], completely unconcerned about their safety.

”How could you, someone who came to rescue us, forget your purpose here?”

What the dwarves didn’t know was that it was precisely Yang Yu’s indifference that made the Curse Sect abandon their plans involving the dwarves.

In the end, only Brian Redbeard came up to chat with Yang Yu, saying that although he hadn’t crafted Epic Equipment yet, his touch had gotten increasingly better, and he should be able to forge an Epic Equipment before the Dragon God Conference started.

Soon after Brian Redbeard’s words, Makuder’s enforcers, along with Icaro Flo and his group of disciples, finally arrived.

Makuder’s enforcers inquired about the situation from the dwarves, confirmed that all dwarves had survived, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, quietly gathering the details of this incident.

Meanwhile, Icaro Flo walked straight toward Yang Yu while his star pupil Hualan reunited with her brother.

Seeing Hualan, Lang Yi was at a loss for words.

He hadn’t seen his sister for a long time, and he didn’t stay at the Ocean Duchy’s stronghold partly because he feared Lingshan might act again contrary to an S-Class adventurer group leader, and partly because he wanted to see his sister.

It had been such a long time that his sister had grown taller and should now have fully mastered her abilities.

Lang Yi had long agreed with Lingshan that once Hualan completed her studies, she would immediately join [Island Drifting].

However, upon seeing Lang Yi, Hualan’s first words were...

”Brother, I’ve decided not to return to the Ocean Duchy. I’ve decided to become one of [Corpse Collection Coffin]!”

”What did you say?”

At that moment, Lang Yi, who had just been calmly analyzing the situation, felt as if struck by lightning, his heart seizing with panic, quickly asking if Hualan had been deceived into joining [Corpse Collection Coffin].

Hualan was very angry at her brother for thinking this way, but she calmed down and began to share her journey over the years with him.

Observing this scene, Icaro Flo stroked his white beard and smiled contentedly.

Yang Yu recounted everything he had experienced to Icaro Flo,

”The Curse Sect is even more cunning than we imagined.

They managed to discreetly dispose of most of the believers’ bodies.

Unfortunately, we still have the corpse of a disciple of the Curse Sect.

Your [Corpse Collection Coffin] regularly deals with bodies, and soul summoning should be a trivial matter, right?

Can you awaken her soul and extract some information from her mouth?”

Icaro Flo stroked his white beard, frowning, ”We’ve tried a similar method before.

It’s a method that requires extremely rigorous mental power from the caster, it damages the soul of the target, is time-consuming, exhausting, and the results are not guaranteed.

The intelligence we gathered using that method was scant, and eventually, we gave it up.”

Yang Yu argued, ”But now we have no other means to obtain intelligence on the Curse Sect aside from this.

I have a vague feeling that the Curse Sect is plotting something.

We don’t have much time left.

Even if it’s just a slim hope, we must try.

Or are you saying, old bones, you can’t move anymore?”

”The strength of a Spirit Manipulator mostly comes from controlling the strength of spiritual bodies. To tame them, one must have strong willpower, and even if my body has aged, my will has never waned,” Icaro Flo stated firmly, ”As you said, there are no other methods at this point. I’ll show a bit of my skill, as a demonstration of standing on the same front.”

Icaro Flo ordered the other noisy people to stand aside, letting Yang Yu lay Moli’s body flat. Then he took a deep breath, formed strange hand signs, and five spiritual bodies of different postures detached from his body, forming a circle.

Next, Icaro Flo took out a bottle of blue-grey gravel, circled it around Moli, and then sprinkled more of the blue-grey gravel over her body.

With several more peculiar hand signs, the hanging spiritual bodies in mid-air mimicked Icaro Flo’s actions, the blue-grey gravel gleamed brightly, slowly entering Moli’s body.

At this moment, a white form rose from the deceased Moli, like a white cloud, floating and drifting, transforming into a beautiful woman under the escort of the five spiritual bodies.

The woman slowly opened her beautiful eyes, looked around in disbelief, and upon seeing the five spiritual bodies around her, suddenly realized something and dashed about, trying to escape from the spiritual bodies.

Icaro Flo clasped his hands together, and the five spiritual bodies released white currents, firmly holding Moli’s soul.

Icaro Flo paused for quite a while before finally making up his mind, ”Let’s begin. Because this memory extraction is always random, let’s quietly pray that we can gather some useful information before her soul dissipates.”

Upon hearing the word ”random,” Yang Yu clutched his chin in thought for a moment, then looked at Iyas with glowing eyes.
