“Don’t you think Demon King Hu Li will come after you for this?” Cao Chenyang continued.

“He wouldn’t dare!” The demoness bristled.

“Why wouldn’t he dare? He’s no longer the Great Demon of the past. He’s the thirteenth Demon King of the Demon Realm!” Wang Mu interrupted. His mind raced, and he already understood Cao Chenyang’s plan.

“He dares.” Ji Lutian nodded and said indifferently, “The two of us are indeed no match for a Demon King.”

“Thank you both.” Ji Lutian cupped his hands. “Since we know that Demon King Hu Li is coming to find trouble with us, and we can’t defeat him, we’ll just hide.”

!!

Cao Chenyang and Wang Mu looked at each other. Before they could say anything, Ji Lutian followed their instructions?

Was this a coincidence?

Or had Ji Lutian seen through their plans and cooperated with them?

Cao Chenyang pondered and said, “The son pays the father’s debt. If Demon King Hu Li can’t find you, he will probably find trouble with your son, Yao Qing…”

“The three of us can just hide,” Ji Lutian said with a faint smile. “It just so happens that Qing’er’s cultivation is about to reach a bottleneck. It’s not bad to find a place to cultivate for a period of time. Wenxin, it’s just that you’ll have to suffer.” Ji Lutian looked at the demoness. Her name was Wenxin, Yao Wenxin…

“Don’t worry about me.” Yao Wenxin moved to Ji Lutian’s side and held his hand.

“You’re the number one person below the Demon Kings, but you’ve suffered so much because of me. I have let you down too much.”

Ji Lutian and Yao Wenxin looked straight at each other and sighed.

“No. I’m the one who is holding you up. If it weren’t for me, you’d be the first among the human race with your talents,” Yao Wenxin said with an infatuated expression.

Wang Mu and Cao Chenyang were dumbfounded. This script was completely different from what they had imagined.

This couple was extremely affectionate. Did they think that the two of them didn’t exist?

Why did it feel like Ji Lutian was enjoying himself?

“Thank you for your information,” Ji Lutian said. “If it weren’t for the news you brought, our family of three might really be in trouble.

“If we go into hiding for three to five years, Hu Li’s anger should dissipate by then…”

As Ji Lutian spoke, he looked meaningfully at Cao Chenyang and Wang Mu.

The two of them were pleasantly surprised, but they were not inexperienced people after all. Their faces remained impassive.

“Ji Lutian, we brought such important news. You’re not just going to send us away with a word of thanks, are you?” Wang Mu snorted coldly.

“I knew you were up to something.” Yao Wenxin sneered. “Tell me. What benefits do you want?”

“What do you think the lives of your family of three are worth?” Wang Mu said coldly with a straight face.

Since they were putting on a show, they would do it in its entirety. They had risked their lives to deliver the news. If they didn’t ask for any benefits, Yao Wenxin would definitely suspect them.

“How dare you!” Yao Wenxin shouted coldly.

“Haha, since we’ve entered the Demon Realm, we won’t be able to return. If we weren’t bold, we wouldn’t dare to come.” Wang Mu laughed. “Of course, you can kill the two of us. But once we die, your whereabouts will immediately be spread. Do you think you can escape faster or Demon King Hu Li can come faster?”

“You colluded with Hu Li?” Yao Wenxin’s eyes narrowed, and her killing intent rose.

“Wenxin!” Ji Lutian held Yao Wenxin’s hand and shook his head. “They’re just a few thieves looking for money. Give them some benefits and send them away.”

“Take Qing’er with you. We’re going to enjoy our family time. Why upset yourself over unrelated people?”

Yao Wenxin looked at Ji Lutian tenderly and nodded.

She waved her hand without looking back, and a stream of light flew toward Wang Mu and Cao Chenyang.

Wang Mu subconsciously raised his hand to catch it, only to see a palm-sized stone emitting a colorful light in his hand.

“What is this?” Wang Mu blurted out.

“This is a Divine Stone,” Ji Lutian said. “There’s only one Divine Stone in the world. It’s extremely precious.

“It’s worth the lives of my family of three.”

Ji Lutian spoke very calmly. Yao Wenxin said nothing, but it was obvious from her expression that she felt the same way.

Wang Mu and Cao Chenyang looked at each other. They didn’t know much about the Divine Stone, but Ji Lutian seemed to be referring to something when he handed it to them.

“Don’t worry. I won’t lie to you. This Divine Stone is extremely valuable. You won’t lose out,” Ji Lutian continued. “If the two of you don’t understand, you can take it back and show it to your forgers.”

“Alright, we’ll believe you this once!” Wang Mu seemed very dissatisfied and snorted.

“Go away! Don’t make me change my mind!” Yao Wenxin shouted.

Wang Mu and Cao Chenyang pursed their lips, feeling a little unhappy. Anyone would be unhappy to be ordered around by a demoness.

But the two of them also knew their limits. She was a Great Demon. Whoever was stronger had the last say…

“Goodbye. I hope you can hide well and not encounter any demonic beasts!” Wang Mu emphasized the words ‘demonic beasts’.

Ji Lutian’s lips curled up slightly. “Thank you for your concern. I value the lives of our family of three more than you do. I don’t have other abilities, but I still have this ability to prevent demonic beasts from finding our family of three.”

Yao Wenxin’s face was full of admiration, and she was about to fall into Ji Litian’s arms.

Wang Mu and Cao Chenyang couldn’t bear to look anymore. They grabbed the Divine Stone and turned to leave.

After walking far away, they couldn’t help looking back. They saw that Ji Lutian and Yao Wenxin were already entangled. From the looks of it, there might be a wild battle…

The two of them ran faster!

Not long after, Wang Mu and Cao Chenyang were already hundreds of kilometers away and met up with Meng Bai and the others.

The moment they met, Meng Bai and the others heaved a long sigh of relief and asked, “How was it? Did Ji Lutian betray us?”

“I don’t know.” Wang Mu shook his head.

“I don’t think so,” Cao Chenyang said.

“Tell us exactly what happened,” Bai Qiancheng said impatiently. “Did you meet Ji Lutian?”

“We did, and it went well,” Cao Chenyang said. “In the short term, Yao Qing won’t appear in front of any demonic beasts. His Highness shouldn’t be exposed.”

“Really?” Everyone was pleasantly surprised.

“I’m serious.” Cao Chenyang nodded. “That’s why I said that Ji Lutian shouldn’t have betrayed us. He must have guessed our plans, so he’s cooperating with us.

“If he says so, then Yao Qing probably won’t show up.”

“Not only did he cooperate with us, but he also handed us a stone. He said it was some kind of Divine Stone. There’s only one in the Demon Realm.

“General Xiao, you used to be a Forging Master. Come and take a look at this Divine Stone.”

Wang Mu handed the crystal clear and colorful stone to Xiao Jianghe.

The people who came this time were all first-rank martial arts experts, so it was definitely impossible for a Grand Craftsman to follow them. Xiao Jianghe was the person who knew the most about forging materials among them. After all, he was once a Forging Master.

Xiao Jianghe took the Divine Stone and carefully observed it for a long time. Then he shook his head. “I’m inexperienced and can’t tell what material it is.

“On the surface, though, it looks like a heaven and earth treasure.

“If His Highness were here, he would recognize what it is. Among all the people I have seen, His Highness has the widest knowledge of forging materials.”

“Forget it. Since we’ve achieved my goal, we can’t stay here any longer,” Meng Bai said. “There are demonic beasts appearing nearby. If our whereabouts are exposed, it will be troublesome. Let’s return to the camp first and let the Grand Craftsmen take a look. If they don’t recognize this Divine Stone, we’ll think of a way to send it to His Highness so that he can identify it!”
