Online: I Can See Health Bars

Below, as Li Shiquan made his appearance, the temporarily halted Li Shidao dusted his clothes, and then looked around.

"It's good that he has left... This place is too dangerous for him now."

Regaining his composure, he watched Li Shiquan start to go through the motions with Lin Family's steward, Lin Ye.

Both sides were engaged in a war of words, seemingly fierce, but in fact, it was just a performance of a prearranged act.

"Blood Demon, just wait a little longer. The situation in Tianyuan Town is gradually becoming clear, and our future is a wide open path!"

It could be felt.

At this point, one could discern the general trend of events.

If they continue to secure their position steadily, Tianyuan Town will inevitably be conquered by our demon kin!

"Tianyuan Town is just the beginning; I will take you to experience all the wonderful things in the future!"

"The glorious era of demons is about to begin!"

Li Shidao clenched his fists, secretly exhilarated by the prospects of the future.

The Great Demons' plan was progressing smoothly, step by step. In this momentous time capable of changing history and reshaping an era, he was involved, becoming... a Witness, a participant.

And the Blood Demon will stand by his side!

"The future is not lonely."

"The future is going to be magnificent!"

...

Watching the ceasefire turn to negotiation, Li Chunyan turned and left.

A smile played upon her lips; the most important task assigned by her sect had been successfully completed.

"How are the negotiations going?"

As she passed a corner, someone suddenly spoke.

Turning to look, Li Chunyan's smile grew even brighter.

"Our very own Bonfire Gathering Alliance Hierarch, why are you hiding in the shadows and not showing yourself?"

Yang Chaoyu, who was leaning against the wall with his head down, slowly looked up.

"Cut the nonsense; how did the talks go? If we fail the mission from our sect, both our heads will roll!"

"Do I look like the negotiation has failed?"

Yang Chaoyu breathed a sigh of relief, then lamented.

"The native demons of Tianyuan Town are a thousand times more ferocious than the wandering demons outside! But this power could be harnessed for our use."

Li Chunyan said with a smile: "The wandering demons outside are just scattered soldiers after all. Those daring to enter Tianyuan Town are the ones worth our attention."

Yang Chaoyu frowned and said: "I've heard that something is sealed in Tianyuan Town, and our sect has sent us to take advantage of this opportunity during the 'Flowers Banquet' to sneak in and seize that thing with the power of demons. Are they truly okay with us now collaborating with the demons?"

Yang Chaoyu, although stronger than Li Chunyan, knew that in any place, strength is not the sole standard for evaluating status.

The power and connections behind someone are what determine one's standing within a force.

Therefore, Yang Chaoyu, lacking a strong background, held a lower status than Li Chunyan.

"Now, the things offered by the demons, compared to what the sect was previously interested in, are of far higher grade, and moreover, we can guarantee that it's the real deal! You don't need to know the specifics, I will relay the message to the sect. Your job is to keep those wastes of the Bonfire Gathering in line, and we might need them later on."

"...Yes."

Yang Chaoyu bowed his head, respectfully accepting the command.

When he looked up again, Li Chunyan had already walked away; he gritted his teeth secretly and left as well.

The Bonfire Gathering had already sent people in; how many had died, she did not care. These events were merely for a name's sake. The real key never lay with these recruits from the branches.

If the headquarters were willing to send people, perhaps they could become a force to be reckoned with in negotiations with the demons.

But with the current lot, Yang Chaoyu didn't bother to give them another glance.

Only He Bashan was someone who could slightly capture her attention.

"After all that, the only remaining experts of the Bonfire Gathering might just be He Bashan and Eastern Gate Orchid from the White Lotus Sect."

Heading towards the arranged retreat point for the Bonfire Gathering.

Upon arrival, she found the crowd pitifully sparse.

After making inquiries, she learned that her subordinates had either fled or died.

In any case, even if they managed to save their lives, they wouldn't hang around with the Bonfire Gathering any longer.

"What about He Bashan and Eastern Gate Orchid? Haven't they returned yet?"

Some people shook their heads, while someone else exclaimed.

"He Bashan is dead! I saw it with my own eyes—he was killed by someone from the Foolish Underworld!"

What?!

This exclamation shocked everyone!

That was the near-unbeatable He Bashan on the platform!

A name notorious, a killer of countless, an entity that emerged victorious numerous times when challenging the strong.

To think that he perished in such a minor skirmish?

You must know, the messier the melee, the more room such a strong figure has to dominate.

For most Martial Artists, it was like being hit from a lower dimension.

Able to sweep through thousands in battle or mix freely among weaker warriors, exerting minimal effort.

To advance or retreat at will, how could he just die??

What did he encounter that could kill a Monster like He Bashan?

"Does the Foolish Underworld have such an expert?"

"I think I vaguely saw a woman in the chaos, half of her face was like a demon's, fearsomely powerful! She had He Bashan constantly on the defensive!"

A woman?

With a demon's face?

It seems, at the very least, someone from the top combat echelons of the Foolish Underworld made their move.

He didn't die unjustly.

Yang Chaoyu had investigated Tianyuan Town, the Five Great Families, the Three major martial arts schools, and the Foolish Underworld; these powers are the pinnacle of Tianyuan Town.

The low-end combat power of the Foolish Underworld might not be impressive, but their high-end combat power is undeniably formidable; otherwise, they couldn't maintain their standing in Tianyuan Town.

"I had such high hopes for He Bashan."

Yang Chaoyu shook her head slightly and continued questioning a few people, but they all had no clue about the whereabouts of Eastern Gate Orchid, as if she had vanished into thin air.
