Ji Dong sent a Demon Master who was attacking him flying with a kick. At the same time, he turned his body halfway, and with a simple roundhouse kick, he kicked another Demon Master.
The result was exactly the same. The two Amplification Demon Masters didn't even have a chance to dodge before they were sent flying by their companions. The four Demon Masters slammed into the walls on both sides of the hall, making muffled sounds. They didn't die, but none of them could get up.
The middle-aged man, who had been watching the battle with a very natural expression, was suddenly greatly alarmed. He gently pushed his daughter away, and his expression became extremely grave. He had seen Ji Dong's movements very clearly, and although they weren't very fast, they were unstoppable.
The two Magicians who had attacked Ji Dong had clearly reacted accordingly, and they had even used all of their Mana to attack. Even so, Ji Dong's domineering and unreasonable kicks had still sent them flying. Their Mana bombarded Ji Dong's feet, but it had no effect at all. Relying solely on the strength of their bodies, the four Six Crowns Magicians had already been heavily injured and fell to the ground.
The middle-aged man looked at Mo 'er with a sharp gaze. Mo' er said, "His Mana is really only Level-66. I saw it clearly. And dad, how old is he? Level-66 is already an exaggeration." Although that was what she said, even she felt that it was not very convincing. How could a Level 66 Devil Master be able to defeat four Six Crown Devil Masters with just two kicks?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the underground hall became heavy. The other Demon Masters slowly stepped forward and released their Yin Yang Crowns. The middle-aged man in the lead looked at Ji Dong with a serious expression. He knew that his daughter's wrong judgment could bring disaster to the organization.
Ji Dong said coldly, "If you want to fight, I don't mind beating you all down first before talking to you."
The expression on the middle-aged man's face changed, but it didn't take long for his expression to return to normal. He waved his hands to the sides, signaling the people around him to step back. He then bowed to Ji Dong and said, "I'm sorry, guest from afar. I apologize for everything that happened just now. I think we can have a good talk."
"Dad …" Mo 'er called out unhappily.
The middle-aged man said angrily, "Shut up, take her away." Immediately, two female Demon Masters came forward and dragged the unwilling Mo 'er away.
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly at Hyōhime and said, "This girl's mother died when she was young, so she was spoiled by me. I hope you don't mind. My name is Shan Lei, and I'm in charge of this place. May I know your name?"
Looking at the elegant middle-aged man in front of him, Ji Dong said calmly, "This little girl is far more cunning than her peers. Even I was almost fooled by her. She's already very outstanding. Your Excellency doesn't need to be modest. I only came here with her for one reason, because we have a common enemy."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I just heard from Mo 'er that you came from the Radiance Five Elements Continent. Since you came from there, you should know what kind of position Dark Tianji occupies in our Five Elements Continent. Our organization has been established for five hundred years, which seems to be a great achievement, but in fact, only we know that it's precisely because Dark Tianji disdains to deal with us that we can always exist, but we can only live underground forever. We are just a group of Demon Masters and civilians who refuse to submit to Dark Tianji's tyrannical rule. You can ask us to rebel against Tianji, but if you need our help, I'm afraid I can't do it, because I can't bring the danger of the organization's destruction. To be frank, I'm not optimistic about you. As far as I know, the strength of your Radiance Continent is far from being comparable to Dark Tianji's Dark Temple. In a little more than a year, the Dark Temple will launch an all-out attack on your Radiance Continent.
I'm afraid that at that time, it will be your doomsday. "Although the attitude of the middle-aged man, Lightning Thunder, had calmed down, but his words could be said to be sharp. Not only did he refuse Ji Dong, but he also clearly told Ji Dong that he was very clear about the bad situation of your Radiance Five Elements Continent. If you want to get our help and support, it won't be that easy."
Ji Dong coldly said, "I don't like to beat around the bush. What you mean is that we don't have enough strength to fight against Dark Tianji, and that we will only drag you down, right?"
Lightning Thunder and Ji Dong looked at each other. He didn't know why, but this young man in front of him always gave him a very dangerous feeling. It wasn't just because of the tyrannical strength that Ji Dong had shown before, but also because of the arrogance that came from his bones. Lightning Thunder said, "Yes, that's right."
Ji Dong nodded and said, "I just want to know under what circumstances can I get your help."
Lightning Thunder said in a low voice, "Unless you can show that you have the strength to defeat Dark Tianji."
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "I can't do that. Dark Tianji is currently at the peak of the Saint realm. Whether it is in your Five Elements Continent or my Five Elements Continent, in a one-on-one situation, no one is a match for him. What I need is not for you to cooperate with us in battle, I only need you to provide me with the information I need."
Lightning Thunder's eyebrows slightly rose, and a thoughtful light appeared in his eyes. After a long time, he said, "You must prove that you have enough strength for us to support you. How many people did you bring this time?"
Ji Dong said, "Ten."
"Only ten?" Lightning Thunder's eyes clearly showed a trace of disappointment, but his disappointment was quickly replaced by shock.
Ji Dong raised his hands. Black and gold, two colored flames simultaneously rose from his palms. This time, he didn't hide anything. Eight crowns, level 88, black and white, Yin Yang Crown brazenly appeared above his head with a golden edge that belonged exclusively to light.
"My magic power isn't enough for nine crowns, but my Ultimate Dual Flames should be enough to prove something to you. Soldiers are valued for quality, not quantity. Don't tell me you don't understand this principle?"
"Light Tianji against Saints?" Lightning Thunder sucked in a breath of cold air. The way he looked at Ji Dong had already completely changed. He said in shock, "You've got guts. As Saints of Light, you actually dare to come to our Five Elements Dark Continent. Aren't you afraid that you'll be destroyed here, leaving your Radiance Continent without the last bit of resistance?"
Ji Dong said indifferently, "I admit that in terms of overall strength, our Five Elements Dark Continent is far behind, but since I can appear here, it proves that we also have our own advantages. I can tell you frankly that Dark Tianji is still leading his Dark Heavenly Stem Saints to the Holy Evil Island, trying to intercept us. But we've already come in, and they still don't know. Tell me first, is the entire Five Elements Dark Continent like this city in front of me? Has it been squeezed by Dark Tianji and his Dark Temple to the point where ordinary people can no longer survive?"
A trace of pain flashed in Lightning Thunder's eyes. He nodded silently and said, "If it wasn't for the Dark Temple that has plunged the continent into misery and suffering, to the point where even basic life can't be maintained, how could there be our resistance organization? Our Five Elements Dark Continent has no country, only the Dark Temple. The oppressive rule of Dark Tianji and the strength in his hands that no one can contend with are constantly corrupting the entire continent. If he can lead the Dark Army to occupy your Radiance Continent, perhaps it can be eased. If he can't, then, in less than a hundred years, I'm afraid … "At this point, the trace of pain in his eyes could no longer be concealed. The others around him also lowered their heads silently. Lightning Thunder took a deep breath, calmed his emotions as much as possible, and said," According to the statistics of our organization, three hundred years ago, the number of civilians dying of hunger and exhaustion every year was about three hundred thousand. Today, three hundred years later, the number has increased tenfold, reaching as high as three million. Moreover, this number is still increasing. Dark Tianji's extravagant use of military power has made the whole continent miserable.
Shan Lei took a deep breath and did his best to calm his emotions. "According to our organization's statistics, three hundred years ago, the number of commoners who died of starvation or exhaustion every year was around three hundred thousand. Today, however, three hundred years later, this number has increased tenfold, reaching three million. Moreover, this number is still constantly increasing. The dark side of Tianji's military is extravagant and wasteful, causing the entire continent to be in dire straits. The commoners only dare to be angry, but they do not dare to speak out. In the poorest places, even grass and tree bark have been eaten. It is slightly better in the cities, but there are often cases of people living on a catty of flour for a month."
Although Ji Dong had a certain understanding of the situation, he was even more shocked to hear it from Shan Lei's own mouth. He said, "How do you eat a catty of flour for a month?"
Shan Lei's eyes flickered with pity and pain as he said, "Mix some flour with hot water every day. There are so many crops planted in the fields, but they are all supervised by the military. The amount of food produced is pitifully little. Right now, the commoners of our Darkness Continent don't even have the strength to resist. It's extremely rare for ordinary people to live past 50 years old. The only hope of every family is to have a magus in their family. Only then would they be able to eat their fill.
"We are already the last chance of survival for these commoners. Occasionally, we would organize ourselves to snatch some food and distribute it to the commoners. However, the number of people who die of hunger, cold, exhaustion, or torture every year is still increasing."
Ji Dong couldn't help but ask, "Is there really no resistance in such a painful life?"
Shan Lei smiled in self-mockery and said, "Why not? There are riots almost every year, but all of them die miserably. Darkness Tianji controls such a powerful military force. Who would be able to succeed in a riot? Once a riot occurs, after it is quelled, they will immediately be executed, and the entire family of the participants will be killed. As for those poor families, as long as they have a magus, their lives will immediately become better. They won't care about the lives of others. Those who are able to join our organization are already the last few ambitious people. At the very least, they still have a conscience. As for the Darkness Demon Army under Darkness Tianji, they have long been completely tainted by darkness. "
At this point, Shan Lei's gaze when looking at Ji Dong became much more sincere. He said, "It's precisely because of this that we have to be cautious and maintain the last bit of resistance for the Darkness Five Elements Continent. I hope you can understand. From a certain perspective, we belong to two opposing continents and are enemies. However, what you said is right. We all have a common enemy. If you can prove to us that your arrival in the Darkness Five Elements Continent can really affect the entire war situation, we can consider providing you with intelligence."
Ji Dong nodded silently and said, "Alright, I will prove it to you. Within a month, you will see what you want. However, just like how it's impossible for you to completely trust us, it's also impossible for us to completely trust you. What you said is very right. We belong to different continents, and in essence, our relationship should be that of enemies. We have come to the Darkness Five Elements Continent alone. If we want to succeed, safety is the first priority. Since I've come here, then I have to consider the safety of myself and my companions."
Shan Lei's expression changed. "What do you mean?" From the strength that Ji Dong displayed, he understood that although this person in front of him was young, he was not only a Holy Disciple, but also a Holy King of this generation. That was an expert on the same level as the ultimate weapon, Li Yonghao. In this place, there was definitely no one who could stop him.
Ji Dong said calmly, "If it's an enemy, then there's only one result. Here, no one will be left alive. However, I hope to be able to cooperate with you guys. In that case, I have two requests. First, give me the address closest to the Darkness Divine Temple. After I complete the proof that you mentioned, it'll be easier for me to contact you guys. I also hope that you can hurry over there as soon as possible. Second, I want to ensure that the news of our appearance is kept secret. Therefore, I want to bring someone with me."
Shan Lei's expression changed drastically. The members of the Secrets Organisation in the surroundings also subconsciously closed in once again.
"You want to bring Mo-er away?" Everyone was intelligent. From Ji Dong's words, they understood what Ji Dong wanted to do.
Ji Dong smiled calmly and said, "Can you people stop me from doing anything? You should understand that this is already the greatest concession I can make. Otherwise, I can make sure that you're the only one left alive, or that all of you will lose your memories. "
Shan Lei's breathing clearly became hurried. His subordinates were already about to pounce on him, but he raised his hand to stop them. In his heart, he struggled for a full five minutes. Then, he suddenly waved his hand and said in a low voice, "Bring Mo-er here."
"Leader!" A few people beside him called out anxiously, wanting to stop him.
"I've already said, bring Mo 'er here. He's right, this is the best solution. We have to show our sincerity as well. Perhaps, this is our last chance. Do you really think that our organization alone is enough to fight against the darkness of Heaven's Secrets?" Shan Lei was practically roaring as he said this. Ji Dong knew that he was also trying to convince himself.
