God of Pets-Chapter 684: The Person Smuggled Out
Xiu Yingmei didn't tell Xiu Jieming that he was Zi Donglai, which surprised Chen Guan a little.
This made Chen Guan, who originally wanted to discuss cooperation with Xiu Jieming, change his mind.
The Celestial Court Army's involvement in this kind of matter really wasn't suitable.
The reason Chen Guan came this time was also to see how many troops the Demon King's Castle had mobilized, how many Demon Generals went, and whether the Demon King himself had gone to Purple Sun City.
After Xiu Yingmei escorted him past the border, Chen Guan directly floated into the sky, heading towards the direction of the Demon King's Castle.
The Demon King's Castle was built by the seaside, a city that appeared very beautiful.
This surprised Chen Guan greatly because the demon cities he had seen before were truly filthy.
Cities built by humans would quickly become extremely dirty once occupied by demons.
There would be trash everywhere on the streets, and even excrement.
This was related to the nature of demons. To put it bluntly, demons were like uncivilized barbarians, relieving themselves wherever, causing the city to stink terribly.
But this Demon King's Castle was completely different from the demon cities Chen Guan had seen before; the entire city was spotless, without the typical odor of a demon city.
"It seems this Demon King is quite fond of cleanliness," Chen Guan mused, thinking about how to enter the Demon King's Castle to gather some information.
"If only Weiqiang were here," Chen Guan thought, missing Gao Weiqiang. But he had sent Gao Weiqiang to gather information from the Gong Family, which was more important than this, so there was no other choice.
"Should I force my way in? That's not a good idea; it's better to wait until nighttime to act." Chen Guan came here precisely to see if anyone had left the Demon King's Castle, and if so, how many.
If most of the Demon King's Castle's inhabitants had gone to Purple Sun City, could he perhaps collaborate with Xiu Jieming to make the Demon King's Castle disappear from this world entirely?
Chen Guan found a concealed spot, planning to wait until nightfall and then enter the city to get a clear picture of the Demon King's Castle's situation.
Finally enduring until night, just as Chen Guan was about to head toward the Demon King's Castle, before he arrived there, he suddenly saw a person carrying a large sack sneak out of the Demon King's Castle.
The person was dressed in nightwear and moved extremely quickly. Chen Guan couldn't discern who he was, but with the ability to see afar and night vision, he clearly saw that the person's pupils were black, not the demon's purple.
"A human, coming to the Demon King's Castle, and carrying someone out—what is he up to?" Chen Guan's heart was stirred, and he quietly followed the man.
It was clear from the shape inside that the sack contained a person.
This was too bizarre. How did a human infiltrate the Demon King's Castle and carry someone out? Chen Guan wondered what he was doing.
After following for some distance, Chen Guan discovered that the man in black was heading towards Baili City.
"Could this man in black be one of Xiu Jieming's people? But why would Xiu Jieming have him steal someone from the Demon King's Castle? Did he steal a demon?" Chen Guan was very curious.
Once the man entered the city, Chen Guan felt something was off.
He wasn't someone from Xiu Jieming. He didn't enter Baili City but stopped in a grove outside the city, where someone was already waiting for him.
Floating high above in the sky, Chen Guan couldn't be seen by those below. With his ability to see afar and sharp-hearing ear, he could see below clearly and hear what they were saying.
"The person has been brought," said the man in black, putting down the sack.
The three people who had been waiting, upon a gesture from the leader, two stepped forward and opened the sack.
Chen Guan then saw that there was indeed a person inside the sack, a young demon girl, as could be seen from her two big white braids.
However, the girl's eyes were closed, seeming to be unconscious.
"Yes, it's her. You've done well. After returning, there will be a heavy reward," the leader said cheerfully.
"Thank you, my lord, for your cultivation; it is my honor to serve the Celestial Void Palace," said the man in black, who had stolen the demon girl, kneeling to thank.
"Very well," the leader said with satisfaction, waving for him to rise, then continued, "You will go back with us and later use your stealth ability to take her to Purple Sun City. When the Demon King Army arrives at Purple Sun City, hang her at the city gate... Before then... she's yours to handle... Make her suffer as much as possible... but don't let her die... Make her believe... that those from Purple Sun City did it to her."
Chen Guan's eyes flickered with cold light. This plan was crude, yet practical and sinister.
Chen Guan had already realized that this demon girl must have an extraordinary relationship with the Demon King.
The Gong Family had stolen her from the Demon King's Castle, intending to cruelly mistreat her and finally blame it on Purple Sun City.
By then, the Demon King, seeing the pitiful girl hung at Purple Sun City's gate and hearing her cries, would likely be moved to a terrifying level of fury, comparable to being buoyed by cheerleaders. Each demon might fight them to the death.
At least the Demon King would surely fight them desperately.
It was obvious the Gong Family wouldn't catch someone insignificant to execute this plan.
But it also showed that the alliance between the Gong Family and the Demon King wasn't solid. Chen Guan keenly noticed the crux of the matter.
If the demon girl was so important to the Demon King, could he save her and use her to threaten the Demon King into retreating, allowing him to just deal with the Gong Family?
Yet, would a demon abandon such an important plan for a girl? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
Perhaps even humans wouldn't do such a thing, let alone demons devoid of humanity.
Using the girl could trigger the Demon King's and Demon Corps' ferocity, but expecting one girl to turn them into good people was undoubtedly much more challenging.
"I'll just save her first," Chen Guan thought, secretly circulating his primordial energy to activate a secret skill.
The "Water Wave Flow Technique" from the Innate Eight Techniques silently enveloped the people like water waves of primordial energy.
He couldn't save the demon girl here, as it would be an ineffective rescue.
The Celestial Void Palace people wanted to make the demon girl believe they were from Purple Sun City, so they would only act against her once they reached Purple Sun City.
He needed to take action when the girl most needed saving and let her know the true face of these people.
Even if he couldn't use the girl to threaten the Demon King, he could make the Demon King aware of the Gong Family's ruthless tactics, perhaps having extraordinary results, maybe even turning demons to his side.
"In this case, the Demon King should have gone into battle personally, so there's no need to go to the Demon King's Castle anymore." Chen Guan pursued these people as they left this Grotto Heaven.
