Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

The meeting room area of the old palace in the Trelen Republic was a scene of chaos, flames scorching the courtyard, stones scattered everywhere, and dust filling the air.

It was confirmed that Yang Yu had indeed subdued ”Humility,” and only then did the guards and magicians present begin to clean up the mess.

Within minutes, officials of the Trelen Republic suddenly received news of a black creature causing havoc in the city.

Putting away the long stick ”Sky Fall,” Yang Yu could guess that it was most likely the lurkers of the Curse Sect trying to create chaos in the city to buy time for ”Humility” to escape.

They just didn’t expect that ”Humility” would fall into Yang Yu’s hands so quickly, making their actions futile.

With a thunderous crash, a black creature over five meters tall appeared on the other side of the old palace walls, directly kicking down the wall, looking around for something, and finally fixing its gaze on the corpse of ”Humility” in front of Yang Yu.

After a moment of hesitation, the black giant stepped into the courtyard, attempting to snatch ”Humility’s” body from in front of Yang Yu.

If it could take the body, it would; if not, it would devour the body and soul of ”Humility” as it would the sacrifices offered to it, leaving no trace.

The guards and magicians of the Trelen Republic looked tense, unaware of the exact strength of the massive creature before them, but the terrifying black giant was enough to intimidate them.

Ussiger thought that the Goddess Sect hadn’t performed well earlier, merely skimming through the event, which was unbearable, and immediately commanded the members of the Goddess Sect to launch an attack on the colossal black beast to salvage their dignity.

Light and darkness counteract each other.

The demon seeds sown by ”Loving Kexia,” although enlarged by devouring the carriers’ magic power, were not strong enough to withstand the Goddess Sect.

The black giant walked into the courtyard, no different from walking to its death, yet it still followed the highest will set by the sower, entering the courtyard.

Under the firepower of the Goddess Sect, the colossal black figure collapsed with a thundering crash, never touching even a finger of Yang Yu and the others.

Ussiger immediately gave the order:

”In the city, there may still be lurkers of the Curse Sect. Bishop Moss, take your people to quickly investigate and handle it, ensuring the safety of the believers and citizens.”

”Understood.” Bishop Moss didn’t linger, leading a portion of the Goddess Sect’s combat members away.

After a swift discussion, the officials of the Trelen Republic also decided to dispatch troops to swiftly resolve the black creature causing chaos in the city.

Even at this moment, there were officials who couldn’t believe that the governor of this country had already been replaced by people from the Curse Sect.

To penetrate the upper levels and yet behave as usual, this was truly terrifying.

They couldn’t imagine what the Trelen Republic would have become if Yang Yu and the others hadn’t appeared here to participate in the campaign against the Curse Sect.

Without a governor, and with the situation being quite critical, the Trelen Republic decided to immediately organize a Countermeasures Committee, but before that...

The officials of the Trelen Republic all looked at Yang Yu.

If what Yang Yu said was true, that the replacement of high-level personnel by the Curse Sect was a sign of their plan reaching its final step...

They had to find the traces of the Curse Sect and eliminate them from the world as quickly as possible.

And the only person capable of finding the traces of the Curse Sect now was Yang Yu.

Those present had decided to fully support Yang Yu and ”Corpse Collection Coffin” in cleaning up the Curse Sect; they didn’t want the country to be completely destroyed before the Demon King arrived.

Bathed in the gaze of the crowd, Yang Yu looked at Icaro Flo, who was stroking his beard not far away, and signaled him over with his eyes.

Icaro Flo had not taken action from start to finish, but Yang Yu could vaguely see a special glow around him.

In fact, Icaro Flo’s spiritual body had long been ready to act, but he left the opportunity to showcase to the young, releasing his spiritual body just in case.

Taking a few steps, Icaro Flo saw a small fish float up from the ground.

Hualan sent a message inquiring about Icaro Flo’s condition, and Icaro Flo truthfully informed Hualan, who was acting with Wang Wu Yidru, telling them not to worry, and then leisurely came to stand before Yang Yu.

”Lord Yang Yu, well done, you’ve worked hard.

After finding the traitor, what do you plan to do?

How can we find the whereabouts of the Curse Sect?

You called me over for this matter, didn’t you?”

Yang Yu also got straight to the point, directly requesting: ”That soul summoning from that day, use it again.”

Icaro Flo’s hand stopped stroking his beard, ”Isn’t there a better way? I told you...”

”I know,” Yang Yu interrupted Icaro Flo, ”but... right now, besides this method, there is no other way.

We are well aware of what kind of organization the Curse Sect is, and it’s extremely difficult to obtain information from their hands.

I fear, any sect members carrying out important tasks are implanted with demon seeds.

If anything unforeseen happens, the demon seeds within them will spawn creatures like the one earlier, erasing all traces.

If there were more time, searching for a needle in a haystack in this world, we might indeed find clues of the Curse Sect...

But we no longer have time, we can only take a gamble.”

Recalling the scenes from the Dragon God Conference and the years of fruitless efforts by ”Corpse Collection Coffin,” Icaro Flo tightened his grip on his beard:

”If... we find nothing, what then?”

”If we find nothing, then we can only wait for them to expose themselves.

Think positively, at the very least, we have dealt with the most uncertain time bomb in the Trelen Republic.

The situation is already much better than anticipated.”

Saying this, Yang Yu showed no pride, only a trace of helplessness.

Icaro Flo sighed but then became optimistic:

”You’re right.

This cadre of the Curse Sect can’t carry demon seeds because of work necessities, presenting us with an unprecedented opportunity.

If it weren’t for the last time, we wouldn’t be gathered here today.

Sometimes, only through such methods can we find a breakthrough.

I have to prepare for the soul summoning ceremony.

In his current state, I can’t be sure if a soul summoning will work, but it’s better than doing nothing.

The process is the same as last time.”

While speaking, Icaro Flo moved closer to the body, clapped his palms together, and assumed a peculiar gesture as five differently postured spiritual bodies separated from his being, forming a circle around ”Humility.”

Then, Icaro Flo took out a bottle of ash-colored sand from his possession, encircling ”Humility” with it, and sprinkled the ash-colored sand onto ”Humility.”

Several peculiar gestures quickly exchanged, and the spiritual bodies suspended in mid-air mirrored Icaro Flo’s actions, causing the ash-gray sand to glow brilliantly and slowly infuse into ”Humility’s” body.

A white mist began to drift from ”Humility’s” body, gradually becoming tangible.

Seeing the preparations near completion, Yang Yu waved to Iyas, who was not far away, administering group healing to the wounded.
