Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Chapter 348: Chapter 196: New Era_2

Just like that, Diao Deyi was able to go against the current and climb his way up to a position in Yangshen Hall.

The immense pressure he must have withstood, the humiliations he endured, and the costly, agonizing efforts it took to get there.

Knowing the feeling of having no capable subordinates to rely on, Green Demon could empathize deeply.

Now that he had power himself, he naturally wouldn’t want Diao Deyi to be in a difficult position.

Pausing, Green Demon continued speaking.

”Diao Deyi, I’ve just started working under the Shu Bird Demon, and my position isn’t yet stable, so I don’t have many people at my disposal.”

”The three demons I can send you now are already the limit within my authority.”

”True, these three demons are not as good as the guards sent by the Shu Bird Demon from outside, but their strength is sufficient to handle most situations.”

Having said all that, Fang Yu naturally could not make any further excuses.

Moreover, it was just outside assistance from the Foolish Underworld, similar to the existence of Bie Huzi, and they would only respond to a secret code.

Such auxiliary demons should not have any impact on him.

At worst, he just wouldn’t activate them.

After noting down the secret code and corresponding identities, Fang Yu felt a stir in his heart and lowered his voice to say,

”Brother Qing, there’s something I don’t know whether I should mention.”

Green Demon raised his brow.

”Between you and me, there’s no need for secrets. Speak your mind.”

Fang Yu frowned slightly, glancing toward the door, or more precisely, the guard stationed outside.

”The Shu Bird Demon has assigned a demon to follow you day and night, calling it a guard, but I’m afraid it’s also for surveillance.”

Green Demon laughed out loud.

”I thought it was something serious. There’s no need to doubt, besides guarding, the demon outside indeed has orders to monitor me. Even more, should I become an obstacle or show potential betrayal, the demon outside would be given direct orders to kill me.”

His smile began to grow a bit ferocious.

”I don’t mind the Shu Bird Demon using this method. In fact, if our roles were reversed, I would do exactly the same. A new follower always needs to be tested over time before we can fully trust them.”

”But truly, I have no intention of betraying the Shu Bird Demon. I abandoned Lord Lan to join the Shu Bird Demon in search of advancement, not opposition.”

”I will climb up. When I become strong enough, my relationship with the Shu Bird Demon won’t be oppositional but collaborative, or we might coexist independently.”

”Don’t worry, I’m quite safe here.”

Hearing this, Fang Yu feigned a sigh of relief.

”Then that’s good.”

While Green Demon was looking at him with a mellow expression, Fang Yu suddenly asked,

”Remember the night of your molting? You said the Lin Family Patriarch was also present, right? What happened to him after that? What exactly took place that night?”

Green Demon’s expression became serious when Fang Yu brought this up.

”Even if you didn’t ask, I was about to tell you.”

”Diao Deyi, listen carefully. The following words should not be disclosed to anyone. Even if other demons ask, you must act as if you know nothing. Understand?”

Fang Yu looked surprised, immediately sat up straight, and nodded solemnly with a serious demeanor.

Seeing his reaction, Green Demon then slowly uttered a statement while looking at Fang Yu.

”The Lin Family Patriarch, Lin Yiqiu, is dead.”

These few words instantly set off a huge wave in Fang Yu’s heart.

Even though he had speculated as much, he still couldn’t believe it upon hearing the news.

That Lin Yiqiu?

The old monster whose 8,000 blood points were only one of his many layers is actually dead.

Killed by demons!

That was the Patriarch of the Lin Family.

A leading clan among the Five Great Families!

The power of the Five Great Families was something Fang Yu had often heard about.

They are the representatives of the top human combat forces.

And now, they’re telling me that one of the Five Great Families is gone.

And as for the Li Family, Green Demon and Li Shiquan are both demons, they’ve practically infiltrated the Li Family to a great extent.

What does this mean?

What about the Five Great Families? More like Five Weak Chickens!

We’re doomed. Humanity is gone!

Isn’t Tianyuan Town screwed?

Maybe... I should just take my second sister and join the demons?

Fang Yu was overwhelmed by a torrent of thoughts and his brain was racing. When he remembered that Green Demon was still watching him,

he quickly widened his eyes to feign ’excitement’.

”Then, doesn’t that mean...”

Green Demon slowly nodded.

”That’s right, just as you are thinking, the Lin Family has basically fallen into our hands.”

”Basically?” Fang Yu felt he caught a key word.

”Yes, just basically. There are some loose ends that are not so easy to deal with. But the Shu Bird Demon and the others have come up with a solution, or rather, they’ve been preparing for this for a long time.”

”What’s the plan?” Fang Yu asked curiously.

”Very simple. During the opening period of the Li Family trials, the Lin Family and Li Family will have a prolonged, many-days-lasting death battle!”

Green Demon picked up the teapot, lifted the lid, dipped a finger in the tea, and drew two circles and a line on the table.

The circles were on both sides, with the line in the middle, separating the two circles.

Then he dipped all five fingers in tea and flicked drops erratically across the two circles.

Instantly, both circles were dotted with tea droplets of varying sizes.

”The left is the Lin Family, the right, the Li Family.”

”Both families have arranged for a great number of demons to infiltrate and replace them.”

”But it’s not enough.”

”Their numbers are far from sufficient to compare with the original human counts of the two big families.”

”The most cautious method, naturally, would be to methodically arrange for demons to replace them bit by bit, starting from the bottom and working up to the higher ranks.”
