Chapter 317: The Only Soothing Avian
The messenger trembled with fear and quickly lowered his head.
"Lord Long Poem Canvas Demon, according to reports from the front, following the Red Moon Demon and the Corrosive Heart Demon, just moments ago, Lord Hemp-Scaled Bird Demon has also been slain by the Foolish Underworld! His territory is now littered with demon corpses, wildfires raging uncontrolled!"
"Worthless!!"
No sooner had the messenger finished reporting than Long Poem Canvas Demon had already leaped onto the table before him, with neither grace nor manners, hopping and roaring furiously.
"Worthless! Worthless! Worthless!!! Wasn't Hemp-Scaled Bird Demon bragging about how powerful he was before? Saying how he defected to a new Demon Lord, and from then on, it would be smooth sailing, even pulling me to defect with him! I'm going to defect to your grandmother demon! I was counting on you, a worthless piece of trash, to withstand the Foolish Underworld's offensive. Instead, you were wiped out in an instant!"
"And that Red Moon Demon, always rumored to have deep connections, all mysterious, turned out to be the first to be taken down! Didn't even buy us some time to breathe!"
"And that Corrosive Heart Demon, a fence-sitter, just mud! A pure piece of worthless trash! Always looking for someone to rely on, but too weak for anyone to care about, just a useless blob of mud that can't support anything!"
"Worthless! Worthless! Worthless! All of them, worthless!!!"
Long Poem Canvas Demon was throwing a tantrum on the table, like a cornered animal, cursing and jumping, practically revealing his true demon nature.
The little brother who came to report the news was so scared that he knelt on the ground and shivered uncontrollably.
After a while, feeling that Lord Long Poem Canvas Demon's rage was gradually subsiding, he cautiously lifted his head.
"Lord, Long Poem Canvas Demon, there is another matter... Lord Blood Demon has sent someone here with a message, proposing a temporary alliance with us to face the difficulties together."
What?!
Long Poem Canvas Demon's expression froze, then his veins popped with fury, shouting, "Such important news, why only now do you speak of it, hurry up and invite the messenger in!"
In its desperation, it was like a patient seeking any cure in a panic. The Foolish Underworld's onslaught was so ferocious it seemed inhuman. In such a short time, it had already flattened the forces of four Demon Lords, sweeping them all clean!
The efficiency, the strength, the force of action... utterly terrifying!
Long Poem Canvas Demon had held his position for so long, it was the first time he had seen the Foolish Underworld launch such a fierce attack on a demon faction!
Was the plan to uproot every single demon faction in Tianyuan Town??
Under such pressure, Long Poem Canvas Demon was unclear and had no time to inquire about the situation in other areas, naturally assuming that all demon factions in Tianyuan Town were under attack.
The little brother left the room, and soon after, a young page walked in from outside the door with a smile.
"Lord Long Poem Canvas Demon."
His voice was young but his demeanor was mature.
Though he had entered the room and stood indoors, the page was neither servile nor overbearing, not even bowing his head, simply clasping his hands in greeting.
Fortunately, they were all demons who didn't care for these human etiquettes, not to mention during such a critical moment under immense pressure, who had the time to care about these things.
"What is it? Has Lord Blood Demon come up with a plan to resolve our current predicament? The Foolish Underworld is overwhelming us, we are in grave danger!"
The young page simply smiled lightly.
"Of course."
"Don't beat around the bush, what tactics does Lord Blood Demon have to offer, speak quickly!"
Long Poem Canvas Demon was almost stomping his feet in impatience.
After all, he had some connection with Hemp-Scaled Bird Demon.
With Hemp-Scaled Bird Demon's incident, the likelihood of his faction being traced back was exceedingly high.
Even if the Foolish Underworld hadn't found them temporarily, based on the geographical location and the route that Foolish Underworld was sweeping through, the next one to be hit, could very likely be him!
With the Beheading Blade looming over his neck, how could Long Poem Canvas Demon not be anxious!
"Actually, it's very simple. Lord Blood Demon intends to join forces with you and cooperate with other demon factions to set an ambush on your territory. Then, when the Foolish Underworld's forces fall into the trap, we strike together, annihilating all the Foolish Underworld's people and sound the horn for a counterattack!"
"What?!"
Long Poem Canvas Demon was stunned.
He thought Lord Blood Demon had some genius plan.
But this??
Counterattack against Foolish Underworld's forces?
Dream on!
Long Poem Canvas Demon glared at the young page before him.
"Do you realize that the Foolish Underworld has already slain four Demon Lords and obliterated their territories? How fierce their strength is, and you think we, mere scraps together, can match them head-on?? Is there something wrong with Blood Demon's brain??"
Hearing this, the young page slowly reined in his peaceful smile.
He looked up, staring directly at Long Poem Canvas Demon, and spoke coldly.
"Did you not hear clearly? Lord Blood Demon is ready to unite all the nearby demon factions to take action, preparing to slaughter the Foolish Underworld's forces right here! Are you looking down on Lord Blood Demon and all the other demon factions that are on your level, or are you... looking down on me?"
Bang!!!
As his words fell, the young page's body suddenly exploded into a Blood Mist.
What, what is this about?
Exploding into a true demon form without any disagreement??
Long Poem Canvas Demon was taken aback and quickly waved his hands to disperse the Blood Mist in front of him, then couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Because the demon before him was exuding an aura that was nearly as strong as his own!
"Dare I ask, who is this eminent figure?"
The true form of the demon loomed above, looking down from a superior position.
"Bi-chromatic... Water and Ink Demon!"
...
Lin Lang Restaurant.
Lin Lang, homophonic to Lin Lang.
It's a business owned by the Lin Family.
It is also the closest major restaurant to the Lin Family.
At the moment, on the top floor of the restaurant by the window, three people are sitting and drinking.
