Chapter 622: Yue Ye’s network (III)

Translator: GravityTales

Although Yue Ye didn’t know the detailed plan Long Haochen’s group had, she realized with astonishment that this plan was really feasible. She was just far too conscious about what demon god pillars represent for the demons. No matter his strength, even if it’s the Demon God Emperor, if a demon god’s pillar is destroyed, his position will also fall to dust instantly! The demon god pillars are their foundation, and in some manner, an indestructible second body for the demon gods.

“Thank you for your help Yue Ye. Be very careful, I am going now.” After telling her these words, Long Haochen proceeded to the exit.

Yue Ye stepped across, blocking his path of escape. Raising her head to look at him, she showed slight displeasure, “Are you really leaving like that?”

Long Haochen had a start, “You…”

Yue Ye snorted, “How much do you even know Modu Core City? Even if your plan was even more reliable, how accurately can you strike my Moon Demon Palace and the Star Demon Palace? Even the power of a forbidden spell is limited; knowing the core areas will only make our two Demon Palaces all the more panicked. Do you know the accurate location of the Star Demon God Pillar and the place where the Star Demon God is secluded? And how strong are the Star Demons’ forces in the Star Demon Palace?”

Long Haochen didn’t utter a word. Actually, Yue Ye’s questions were all things he had wanted to ask today, but after Yue Ye hugged him like that, he just didn’t dare ask anymore. That was because he suddenly realized that he already owed Yue Ye far too much. If he received even more from her, how could he repay that favor? And the feelings she had for him, made it even harder for him to ask.

Actually Long Haochen had some backup thoughts about today’s plan. By just spending some more time, he could investigate the two great demon palaces, after all, he still had this identity as a Moon Demon Viscount, enabling him to ask about some known information.

Of course, he would prefer to get Yue Ye’s accurate information, which was the only way to increase his chances of success. Although this operation Long Haochen came for was dangerous, he still proceeded with enough prudence. Unless enough safety precautions were taken, he wouldn’t dare move rashly even if he had to give up on this plan.

“It should be to ask all this that you have come to see me this time, right? Why are you not asking?” Long Haochen looked fervently at Long Haochen.

Long Haochen let out a light sigh, “I already really owe you too much. If I keep owing you, I don’t know how I could repay you all this.”

Yue Ye almost blurted out, _Repay it with your body._ But she still bore it, because she knew that this would only increase the distance between the two of them even further.

“So it turns out that you already know that you owe me a lot? Very good, let me tell you how to repay me then. Be at ease, it is not something personal that I will be asking.” Yue Ye’s expression exercised restraint, making less emotion show to appear more rational. Revealing a wise look, she declared after taking a short pause, “Long Haochen, I can help you with my utmost, and not only this time but on every occasion there will come to be in the future. As long as you need it, I will do my utmost to provide any information you need.”

Yue Ye’s voice sounded really pleased, and furthermore she clarified that he didn’t need to repay her emotionally. Long Haochen was startled, “What are your gains then?”

Yue Ye declared, “If one day, you can be a leader of humanity, and lead them to defeat demonkind, I hope that you wouldn’t eradicate it all, and leave just a small territory for demonkind to dwell in. It will be just a small kingdom outside your human empire, and I will be its ruler. For a thousand years, humankind shall not be allowed to attack us.”

Long Haochen didn’t expect this condition from Yue Ye at all, and couldn’t help but feel a large shock, “Yue Ye, are you sure that is your only wish? You should know that this is something I can absolutely not promise you. Even if I become a Divine Knight in the future, the Temple Alliance will surely not listen to my lone word either.”

Yue Ye looked at him with determination, “I just want your promise. So what about what all others say? If the whole Temple Alliance comes under your command, why wouldn’t you be able to make the decision? And you should know clearly that even if humankind can annihilate all our demonkind, it will surely be at an enormous cost. At that time, if you can give us a chance to move away into a small territory, then the chances of demonkind going all out with no more regard for their own lives will be much lower. I don’t want much, just a territory the size of a province will be sufficient.”

Long Haochen furrowed his brows, deeply considering Yue Ye’s proposal. There stood no doubt that having Yue Ye as a mole among demonkind would greatly benefit them in their future courses of actions. But this condition of Yue Ye felt really incomprehensible in his eyes.

“Even if I promise you, will the surviving forces even listen to your command after we defeat demonkind?”

Yue Ye showed a tranquil smile, “That’s my own issue. It’s enough for you to just give me your promise. If in the future you cannot command the Temple Alliance, or if my strength is insufficient to gather the scattered demon survivors, or if you humans cannot defeat us demons, there will be no need to fulfill your part. Demonkind may be outsiders, but they have, after all, six thousand years of history on this continent since their arrival. In some sense, outside the seventy-two demon gods, all demon races are also born from the evolution of various original creatures from Shengmo Dalu, which are originally part of this word. If you can destroy the seventy-two demon god pillars, it’s hard to say whether the demons’ demonification will persist. And I can tell you one secret without fear. Do you know what our Yue Ye Merchant Group’s fundamental force is?”

Long Haochen shook his head.

Yue Ye replied, “Our fundamental forces are the individuals of mixed human and demon blood.”

Long Haochen was startled, immediately looking forward to the continuation of Yue Ye’s speech.

Yue Ye continued, “Individuals of mixed human and demon blood are far more numerous than you imagine. The Yue Ye Merchant Force is just our external facet, but our scope of influence extends to all demon territory. Among us, the overwhelming majority is more inclined to human thinking. And until now, we have really been looking ahead for an opportunity to become independent. You should understand my intention given how intelligent you are. So I will certainly not limit my help to providing information. In case the occasion gets ripe, our organization’s strength will emerge of itself.”

Long Haochen showed some unbelief, “And you are the leader of this organization?”

Yue Ye shook her head, “Not yet. Let me leak out some more to you: our organization’s present leader is a demon god of mixed human and demon descent. After I set up the Yue Ye Merchant group, we have been in touch, and I have been in charge of intelligence works for the organization. If my strength reaches a sufficient level in the future, I will surely have the qualifications to fight for the position of leader. Mixed human and demon breed have a lot of advantages, for instance even if our present head gets his demon god pillar destroyed, it will at most incur a slight loss of strength and inability to use its power. But that is far from the case for those purebred demon gods. Please give me your reply after considering it. For now, I am not speaking as your friend, but on behalf of my organization. In case our agreements come to a good end, we will also be the one in control of that kingdom.”

Long Haochen sank into contemplation, and without hurry, Yue Ye calmly stood waiting for him.

A short time later, Long Haochen slowly raised his head, “Okay, I give you my promise.”

Yue Ye charmingly revealed a slightly distressing smile. She knew that from this instant onward, Long Haochen and herself would be once again back to that pure relation of partnership. But what other choice did she have?

“I believe in your integrity, so there is no need for any contract of promise. Alright, now tell me your plans. Let’s perfect it now, trying our utmost to erase all danger. Wait a bit, I am bringing you our map of the Moon Demon Palace and the Star Demon Palace.”

Modu Core City was still so imposing, and had the densest darkness essence. All demon powerhouses took the fact of living there as a honor, because in addition to the privilege of living there, the dense essence only made their cultivation speed faster.

The sky darkened gradually, and the weather was not so good, dark clouds hovering all over the sky, where dusky drizzles hovered. Aside from the accumulated dust, an abundant darkness essence was contained inside, affecting even the sky’s color.

Outside the Moon Demon Palace, in an unremarkable nook, stood a man, a huge cloak completely covering his body. He was standing calmly, occasionally revealing a face of extreme handsomeness when looking to the side.

“It’s about the Moon Demons and Star Demons’ meal time.” Long Haochen muttered aloud.

Right at this time, a few Moon Demons appeared at his side. Long Haochen did not avoid them, but instead looked at them face to face.

Seeing Long Haochen’s handsome traits, they immediately lowered their heads, then left at a rapid pace.

Purple eyes and a handsome face. This was originally the greatest characteristic of Moon Demons. Also, their status generally goes up with their degree of handsomeness. Appearance would never determine a Moon Demon’s age, but could determine his strength. And without a doubt, Long Haochen was heaven-blessed to be disguised as a Moon Demon.

Tower of Eternity.

The members of Bright Glimmer of Hope were all clad for battle, already prepared in their optimum state. All gathered together, they calmly waited.

Yang Wenzhao and Duan Yi’s injuries were already a lot better after the past days. Long Haochen didn’t invite them, but if not for their insufficiently recovered strength, they would surely be itching to participate in this operation. At this moment, they could only give their most sincere blessings to Bright Glimmer of Hope’s group.
