Demon King: Hero, don't run away!

Chapter 720: Intelligence Exchange is Fundamental


Volcrix's footsteps halted abruptly as he spoke,

"What trade do you intend to make with me?"

Volcrix's voice was slightly restrained, but he couldn't hide the joy within it.

"If you swear never to intervene in this war...

And, I'm quite interested in what you just mentioned about the Enchanting Demon.

Since we are to expel the Enchanting Demon anyway, how about I do it on your behalf?

If you agree to these two conditions, I will return this cloak to you and also provide the special information I just mentioned. How does that sound?"

Placing his hand on his chin in thought, Volcrix slowly turned around and agreed,

"Fine, I accept your conditions. I will not interfere with this war; I was never interested in it in the first place..."

Upon hearing this, the Luoze soldiers behind Volcrix immediately became anxious.

They wanted to rely on Volcrix to gather intelligence and gradually involve the Heroic Warrior in the war by exaggerating facts.

But Volcrix was planning to agree to the other party's request.

"Lord Volcrix, is this really wise?

This task was given to you by the Goddess Sect, and the Empire has put in a lot of effort to help you locate those Enchanting Demons. Just giving up like this seems somewhat unreasonable, doesn't it?"

"What's unreasonable about it? This is for the entirety of humanity.

Besides, it was only after your forces suffered casualties that you asked me to take action.

For months, I have tried my best, but I found nothing within your jurisdiction.

General Potato's strength is evident to all of you.

The Enchanting Demon might have fled deeper into Wansheng Country.

Compared to me, he is better suited to deal with the Enchanting Demon.

The Enchanting Demon is part of the Demon Clan, a great enemy to the entire world.

Surely you aren't thinking it would be fine as long as the Enchanting Demon causes trouble in Wansheng Country instead?"

Faced with Volcrix's questioning, several Luo Ze officers hastily waved their hands nervously,

"No, no, no, we've never had such thoughts.

Lord Volcrix is right, since it is Lord Volcrix's decision, we should all respect it."

Volcrix nodded in satisfaction and began speaking about the Enchanting Demon, including what he'd seen in the secret archives of the Luo Ze Empire.

Very confidential information was revealed by Volcrix carelessly.

Seeing his sincerity, Yang Yu naturally did not want to be outdone.

He folded the cloak, throwing it back to Volcrix, who effortlessly spread his arms and donned the bright cloak once more, pride filling his cheeks again.

"Now that you've spoken, I'll also tell you the special information I just mentioned.

If you doubt what I say, just laugh it off.

Listen carefully!"

Yang Yu cleared his throat, deliberately raising his voice,

"The Goddess Sect Saintess is going to face a great disaster."

"What do you mean?"

"It's a long story, but I'll keep it short.

This is from last autumn, I met some strange people in the Elf Forest where the elves reside.

Those people were from the Curse Sect, searching for something in Wansheng Country.

They even attacked an elven village.

By chance, I heard another one of their plans.

They intend to besiege the Goddess Sect Saintess and use her blood to summon a Demon.

I do not know the current status of the Goddess Sect Saintess.

If she's still alive, tell her to be very careful."

The soldiers of the Luo Ze Empire were left ringing in their ears, as if they had heard some extremely significant information.

However, the more explosive news was yet to come.

"The Saintess of the Goddess Sect has died."

So it was here...

Volcrix grasped his chest, elated, as the investigation task, which had been devoid of clues, finally made some progress.

"I am currently investigating the death of the Saintess for the Goddess Sect.

Tell me everything you know right now!"

Those present were shocked and could not close their mouths, as they heard from the mouth of the hero that the Saintess of the Goddess Sect had already died.

Yang Yu had not expected that Heroic Warrior Volcrix would speak so recklessly, carelessly revealing information that should not be easily disclosed.

But never mind...

If it was leaked, it was leaked; Yang Yu had originally planned to lead the soldiers present in that direction.

"I don't know much.

The only thing I know is that those from the Curse Sect seemed to have had the seeds of a demon planted in them...

If the dark seeds are not removed from them in time, they will fuse together to become an even harder-to-defeat demonic form.

I've struggled immensely and only barely managed to defeat two or three.

If you humans encounter them, you must kill them quickly, without giving them time to transform into demonic forms.

Having the ability to use part of a demon's power suggests that the Curse Sect's major move is near.

If I found it so tough to deal with them, it will be even tougher for you."

Yang Yu paused deliberately for a while before he continued, his face earnest:

"To counter their entire organization, your current strength is far from sufficient.

Thinking that you can overcome everything with sheer strength alone is too naive.

You can seek to train yourself with some well-known people; you might also try to take on the Underground Maze; or you could challenge powerful demons.

Remember, never underestimate any opponent.

Improving your skills is the king's path."

After finishing, Yang Yu walked back to his own team, turned his face, and his stern gaze swept across the soldiers of the Luo Ze Empire.

"Volcrix has already handed over the task of investigating the Enchanting Demon to me.

You no longer have any reason to stay here, so get out of here quickly and cleanly.

If I still see you here in ten minutes, I absolutely will not show mercy."

The soldiers from Luoze who had come with Volcrix were too angry to speak and could only turn around and leave dejectedly.

As for Volcrix, he had nothing else to say, and turned to leave, with the thought, "Next time I see him, I must defeat him," occupying his mind.

And this scene was watched by a black bat hiding among the branches.

A streak of light flashed across several rings.

Various consciousnesses converged within them, eventually flowing into a gray skull ring.

"Hello, that will be 36G."

"Can it be a bit cheaper?"

The fruit stall owner gave the price, knowing it was impolite while still sizing up the tall man in front of him.

The man was wrapped tightly in clothes, not even sparing his face, revealing only golden hair and a pair of clear eyes.

But the fruit stall holder felt something odd about those eyes—they were clear, yet they seemed to lack something.

On closer thought, it seemed they lacked some amount of sclera.

Without the sclera, it was hard to discern the direction of his gaze.

But the fruit stall owner could feel that at this moment, this strange man was watching him.

The fruit stall owner, feeling guilty, said, "No can do, but I'll give you a discount this time, 34G in total."

"Thank you, boss."

Taking out a gold coin, the strange man placed it in the palm of the fruit stall owner, which was half his own size, and picked up the wrapped fruits before leaving.
