Online: I Can See Health Bars

"Lord, I have no idea what you are talking about."

"There is no need to hide anything, after Li Baizhen measured your condition, it was our decision to deploy you to infiltrate the demons."

For the Yangshen Hall Master, who lives a life of luxury and privilege, the span of over a month merely seemed like the blink of an eye, almost like it was just yesterday.

At this moment, he mentioned it as if enumerating family treasures.

"That day, you possessed the true essence of a demon and the nature of a human, distinctively different from other Demon Martial Artists. I don't know why this is so, it might be related to your Demon Bloodline, but regardless, your emergence gave us a brand new option at the time."

"Under consultation with the other two Hall Masters, we made the decision to let you go and infiltrate them; your strength, status, and identity were all highly suitable for infiltration within the demons. And in the days that followed, we, the old folks, merely kept a little attention without interfering, to avoid exposing your identity."

"However, at this moment, with the situation unstable and the Five Great Families becoming increasingly restless, even I, who refuses to step outside, have been affected and forced to take some actions in advance, thus preparing to utilize you, our hidden piece."

Having said so much, Fang Yu felt as if his underwear was seen through—if he still denied it, wouldn't he just be a clown.

With an awkward smile, Fang Yu said.

"So my real backup has been Lord Hall Master all along. Please forgive me, I was being dull just now."

Wu Lvzhu smiled and waved his hand.

"You've done very well. Infiltrating among the demons is very dangerous work; you must always remain vigilant. Even though I just revealed your details completely, you should've kept denying it, never admitting. Because, the one standing before you might be attacked by a demon at any moment, be replaced by a demon, and come to trick the information out of you."

Wu Lvzhu seriously said: "You must remember, your identity is very special, you can distrust anyone, but we of the Third Hall will prioritize trusting you! Trust your information, trust your words, trust that you are... human!"

"Those two old men I can't control, but under me, all your actions will be considered pretense, a self-protection of identity. Therefore, from now on, you can act boldly. Don't sweat the small stuff if you are hindered by various obstacles and can't climb high enough among the demons. For us, it would actually be a loss, a failure, only ruining the grand plan."

"We don't need an infiltrator mixing in the low-level demon circles; what we need is... higher-level intelligence! Do you understand?"

Fang Yu: ???

How did I not know my status was so high???

So even if I run rampant in the Foolish Underworld, the upper echelons still trust me outright, all actions are a disguise of identity??

So if I quit the Foolish Underworld, wouldn't they also think I was performing operations just to disguise my identity?

But I haven't provided much intelligence... Just trusting me not to flee?? I'm not even that confident in myself...

Of course, although I think this, I definitely can't say it outwardly.

Fang Yu put on an enlightened expression.

"Lord, I understand!"

"Good, then let me ask you once more, what is your position among the demons?"

"Lord, in the demon side, I currently barely hold the position of [Demon Tail]."

"Wrong!" Wu Lvzhu suddenly raised his voice and glared, "You have no idea what I am talking about, furthermore, you and the demons are irreconcilable enemies!"

Ah?

Are you crazy!

Didn't I just answer that before!

Fang Yu felt annoyed; this old man is behaving strangely, could he really be a demon in disguise.

But before Fang Yu could speak again, Wu Lvzhu suddenly changed his stern expression to a smile and said, "Don't be angry, just now was just a test of your endurance."

What are you testing my resilience!

Damn, can this old guy stop playing so tricky.

Wu Lvzhu's expression gradually became more serious, murmuring to himself: "Demon Tail, huh... You've joined the demons not long ago, mixing to a position in a month has already exceeded our expectations, but now that the situation is getting turbulent, [Demon Tail] is really insufficient."

He frowned at Fang Yu.

"We need you to climb higher, at least to the position of [Demon Body] to provide us with useful information. The group of lower demons, although troublesome, is still within our handling range. The most important thing is... the movements of those leading demons, their human skins, the things they are doing, the things in progress, their future direction, those are the real intelligence we need."

"If it's just the Demon tail, all you can do now is assign odd jobs, which won't get you anywhere near the core level of demons."

It's... not that I can't get in touch with them though.

Brother Qing, the Shu Bird Demon, and that woman from the Bai Family, I see them all clearly.

But all this information came from my own skills.

If I were a blank slate, then I would be screwed. Indeed, as the Hall Master said, I wouldn't be able to find out any useful information.

Just like now, with the big events happening between the Lin Family and the Li Family, this Demon tail doesn't receive any information or tasks at all, completely oblivious, just like an outsider.

If it weren't for my Foolish Underworld identity, where I could see other people's health bars and names, I'd be totally in the dark, making this undercover effort useless.

It'd take years of blending in, climbing to the higher-ups before I could get any useful information.

"Lord, it's not that I don't want to climb higher, but climbing up requires performance. Without achievements, the high-ranking demons won't promote me. But I am a human, just pretending to be a demon, I can't just casually lead demons to kill people..."

What Fang Yu didn't expect was that Wu Lvzhu would immediately respond.

"Who says you can't. Those who strive for great deeds mustn't sweat the small stuff! Leading demons to kill many, compared to the entire population of Tianyuan Town, it is still just a fraction. Sacrifice the few to benefit the many, even a three-year-old knows this arithmetic, do you understand?"

Fang Yu: ?

When I throw out a question mark, you old thing better have the slightest moral baseline.

Even I, a player, worry about killing too much and being treated as a traitor by you guys in the Foolish Underworld.

So you there, old man, dropping your pretense, huh.

Conquering through the slaughter of thousands, is that it!

Some agent of justice.

I might as well turn into a grand villain myself!

With an awkward smile, Fang Yu asked.

"Lord, are you joking?"

Wu Lvzhu looked at him sideways.

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Well, damn.

Truly the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

So the high ranks of the Foolish Underworld truly don't consider the lives of those below them, no wonder people under the Foolish Underworld are also ruthless, misjudging demons and killing ordinary humans without blinking.

"You don't understand, Diao Deyi, at my level, I need to think about the interests of the entire Tianyuan Town, not just the life and death of a portion of people. If possible, I would also want to have the best of both worlds, but with the situation being unstable, constant moves from the demons, I need more accurate sources of information to target... So far, we have been too passive! I must say, we have underestimated those demons."

Fang Yu, speechless, asked, "Lord, what if among those sacrificed, there are your family members, friends? How would you act then?"

"How presumptuous!"

Wu Lvzhu immediately glared at him, a vast and unshakable aura suddenly pressing down, immobilizing Fang Yu instantly, sending chills through him, as if he had walked through the Ghost Gate!

In that moment, Fang Yu truly understood the massive gap in power between the two!

The other could crush him as easily as crushing an ant!

Think about leaving it to me to handle things, it's simply that at any moment, he could crush me, it's just me jumping around!

Jump around and produce results, that's good. Fail to produce results or even backlash, then intervene and end it.

Fang Yu realized how naive he had been.

Believing whatever others said.

Those who could sit at the top of the Foolish Underworld, none were simple folk!
