Don’t be fooled by [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth]’s arrogant attitude now, as [Ghost Fire Demon] felt, this is just a test.
If the Blood Demon doesn’t intervene, [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] will surely escalate, replacing all the members of the organization with her own people.
In this way, although she [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] is still demoted to demon tail, still a subordinate of the Blood Demon, it’s equivalent to transferring all her people to this stronghold, merely becoming the Demon Foot here, just losing the nominal title of Demon Foot, with no other changes.
In the end, [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] is still dissatisfied, still wanting to restore her former glory.
Ghost Fire Demon believes that when the Blood Demon returns, [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] will surely be taught a lesson, after all, that’s the invincible Blood Demon! How could this kind of character be allowed to act recklessly!
"Welcoming the return of Lord Demon Foot? That indeed needs some good preparation."
[Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] said with a sly smile, stroking her chin.
Her human skin still looked like a woman, but the ruthlessness in her demeanor couldn’t be hidden, even by the pure appearance.
With a glance to the minions on her left and right, a few demons she had recruited started to gather around Che Linfang and the others with malicious intent.
"What are you going to do?"
Che Linfang said coldly; if she didn’t need to maintain this human skin to continue her undercover work, she would have already transformed into her lynx demon form to teach these rude ones a lesson!
"[Gui Yuan Overlord Moth], you should think clearly, if you go against us, you are betraying the organization, betraying your own kind, you know the consequences!"
"Who said I was going to attack you? I just want you to stay put. Of course, if you resist, it would be another matter. In the event of a confrontation, accidents are inevitable, aren’t they?"
With a snap of her fingers, those minions pulled out the rough ropes they had prepared, intending to tie up Che Linfang and the others.
The [Dual-Colored Ink Demon] beside them started to look anxious.
In a fight, they are definitely no match for [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth]; after all, she was once a prestigious Demon Foot, just temporarily staying on their side as a small follower.
After a few months, she is still the same prominent Demon Foot, in both power and status, not on the same level as them.
Should they rise up and resist, or surrender quietly?
[Dual-Colored Ink Demon] was torn with indecision.
The [Blue Hammer Giant Ape Spirit] and [Crimson Hammer Giant Ape Spirit] wearing robust human skins both roared loudly, preparing to shed their covers for battle. The Sound Demon was still maintaining the barrier, and they couldn’t afford to expose the demon stronghold due to internal conflict.
In the tavern, most demons supported Che Linfang’s side; earlier, even though there was a dispute, everyone was busy with their affairs.
Now that it’s coming to blows, that’s a different story.
Swish, swish, swish—
Among the demons filtered by Fang Yu, most were Fang Yu’s supporters, and naturally, they all sided with Che Linfang at this moment.
In an instant, what was just a few major demons cornering Che Linfang and others quickly became a crowd of demons surrounding those few major demons under [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth].
The new major demons, clearly feeling the tension, promptly stopped their actions and looked to [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] for help.
[Gui Yuan Overlord Moth]’s face was now quite grim.
Even though she had spent days talking endlessly, trying to win some demons to her side while the Blood Demon was away, it was only a small fraction, with some ambiguous rhetoric.
Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, some demons silently moved toward Che Linfang’s side as their stance shifted.
With even fewer people on [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth]’s side, she became even more conspicuous.
To be honest, if a fight truly broke out, [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] wouldn’t be afraid.
She was once a Demon Foot, after all!
These small fries can’t compare to her.
But the problem is... if she makes a move, she would be unjustified, and the organization could settle with her at any time.
[Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] just wants to make a show of power to the Blood Demon, vying for rights.
This is just the first step, establishing authority to sow the seeds of rebellion, not at all prepared for a direct confrontation.
Once her authority is established, and she gathers enough strength, she would then challenge the Blood Demon to reclaim her rightful position.
But now, this plan seems to be going less smoothly.
As [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] pondered, a figure suddenly entered from outside the door.
Silhouetted against the dusky glow of the sunset, [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] could still recognize who that was.
"Blood! Demon!"
Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Fang Yu.
However, he was a bit unsure of the situation here.
What’s happening?
Why is the atmosphere so tense? Divided into two factions?
Narrowing his eyes, Fang Yu looked at [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth].
The situation suddenly turned quite dire.
The adaptable [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] suddenly put on a smile and rose from her chair, approaching Fang Yu.
"Lord Blood Demon, you finally arrived; I missed you so much over these days."
"Spare me."
With a slap, Fang Yu pushed away [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth]’s hand and seated himself on the large wooden chair that [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] had been sitting on, domineeringly sweeping his gaze over the entire place.
"Explain what’s going on here."
The new major demons recruited by [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] naturally knew of Demon Foot’s power, and seeing [Gui Yuan Overlord Moth] admitting defeat, they dared not act recklessly, bowing their heads and pretending to sleep.
"Hmph!"
Che Linfang snorted coldly, strutting like a cat, proudly coming to Fang Yu’s side.
"What? Seeing Lord Demon Foot, you don’t salute?"
Only then did all the demons react and hurriedly paid their respects.
"Greetings, Lord Demon Foot!"
"Welcome back, Lord Blood Demon!"
"Welcome, Lord Demon Foot!"
