They were bound hand and foot, with cloth strips stuffed in their mouths and black cloths covering their eyes, making terrified whimpering sounds, trembling all over.
"Rest well. In a few days, the Lin Family will start coordinating, and then, the main meal will be served."
Li Shiquan smiled, lifted his foot to leave, but suddenly thought of something and said.
"By the way, that Little Demon who just entered Yangshen Hall, his human skin identity is Diao Deyi, right?"
Green Demon was startled, not expecting Li Shiquan to mention Diao Deyi.
"Yes, what about it?"
"Nothing, I heard that under his human skin identity, he collaborated with Hei Ao of the Hei Family and Zuo Green of the Zuo Family, and killed my subordinate, Reversed Demon. Then, the blood brother of Reversed Demon, Bo Zheng Demon, is clamoring for revenge starting with those three."
Green Demon’s expression suddenly became dangerous.
"Diao De Yi would not betray the demons, I can guarantee that with my life. Surely, it must be your subordinates or those two from the Hei and Zuo families causing trouble."
The demons under his command are free-range and unruly, often clashing with the demons under other Great Demons.
Li Shiquan was not surprised by this.
Besides, he did assign a task to Reversed Demon to manage and transport flesh and blood slaves out of the city.
Now that such a big incident has occurred, it’s mostly because his identity was revealed and instead got into trouble with the tough parts of Hei and Zuo families, died in their hands. As for Diao De Yi, Green Demon had mentioned, he is not very strong, but has potential.
Potential, after all, is something you pay attention to unless you value it yourself, otherwise just hearing about it is enough, no need to care.
"Nevertheless, now that Bo Zheng Demon is looking for trouble with Diao Deyi, what are you going to do?"
Green Demon said coldly.
"Bo Zheng Demon won’t get to see Diao De Yi."
"Because he will die by my hands."
"I understand your stance now."
Something was thrown in from outside the door, thudding heavily as it landed.
This creature had two horns on its head, covered in black velvet, and a short tail, over three meters tall, humanoid in shape, but a demon.
"What is this?" Green Demon narrowed his eyes.
Bo Zheng Demon was curled up, continuously spitting blood from its mouth, its whole body on its last breath, seemingly having gone blind, completely terrified and mentally broken.
"What do you mean?" Green Demon was a bit astonished.
"A gift for you, and consider it my greeting gift for Diao Deyi. In the future... there will be plenty of opportunities for collaboration."
Li Shiquan winked and left.
He also took his guards with him.
Green Demon, looking at the pitiable Bo Zheng Demon, did not hesitate to end its life.
Any threat to Diao De Yi must be eradicated!
Then, his gaze fell on the two human supplies.
The instinct of a demon made his mouth secrete drool, smelling a certain delicious aroma.
"So, Li Shidao just let you go ??"
Zhuo Xueer widened her eyes, her face filled with disbelief.
"Yes! I silently acted as a punching bag, Li Shidao watched from above, and feeling bored, he let me go."
Fang Yu clenched his fists, his voice low and filled with restrained anger.
Zhuo Xueer’s expression gradually became subtle and complex.
She had long heard of Li Shidao, who acts on a whim, doing things based on his mood.
Hadn’t she heard it from the guy in front of her today, Zhuo Xueer would not have believed that such an eccentric person existed.
It’s indeed easy for odd people to emerge among the Five Great Families.
Could it be that Li Shidao has taken a liking to me, trying to manipulate my emotions?
Zhuo Xueer became somewhat perplexed.
Then, she immediately thought of something and asked.
"What about Lord Li Baizhen? Did he come back with you?"
Fang Yu clenched his fists, slowly, gradually shaking his head.
"Lord Li Baizhen is... still at Li Mansion! It’s my incompetence, I couldn’t save him!"
Zhuo Xueer smiled bitterly.
You yourself being able to return is already great fortune.
Those people from Li Family, when they kill people, are much more brutal than their Foolish Underworld.
Especially those from the Li Family Direct Lineage, the kind that kills without blinking.
If there weren’t high-pressure internal trials pressing down on them, causing these clearly mentally disturbed individuals to constantly fight among themselves, exhausting their energy, Zhuo Xueer couldn’t even imagine the trouble it would cause if those from the Li Family Direct Lineage were let loose.
"Diao Deyi, as well as Lord Li Baizhen, originally belong to Li Family. If Li Family requests their people back, even we from Yangshen Hall can do nothing."
At this level, whatever you want to do, needs justification.
Diao Deyi is an outsider, not from Li Family.
Theoretically, Li Family members could easily kill Diao Deyi.
Similarly, theoretically, Yangshen Hall could also protect the person.
The specifics would still depend on the tugging between the two parties and the influences from higher-ups.
Zhuo Xueer is just an executor below, such high-level strategic confrontations are not for her to ponder the exact nature of.
"Is there really no way to save Lord Li Baizhen?"
Fang Yu’s eyes became slightly ’moist’, filled with righteous indignation.
How Dou Ban saw it, Fang Yu didn’t know, but he could likely give himself about 8.9 points.
Both emotion and lines were in place.
At least with Green Demon’s guarantee, Lord Li Baizhen’s life should be safe, no big problem.
Zhuo Xueer looked at Fang Yu’s reaction, somewhat moved.
What a passionate and righteous young man!
It’s no wonder Lord Li Baizhen spent all his accumulated merits to strongly recommend this person for a position in Yangshen Hall.
