A hidden traitor
"Black Dragon, I really don't understand your actions."
Within the City Lord's Estate of Maple City, Qiu Hai could only watch as Black Dragon respectfully invited the young beggar away.
He also told them to treat him well and not to be rough with him.
This was completely incomprehensible to an old devil like him who had long since regarded human life as worthless.
"Senior, you don't know." Black Dragon gestured for Qiu Hai to sit down with a smile, "I forgot to tell you before that the Yellow Emperor hid the ley line."
"I did," Qiu Hai nodded.
"As the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor, Ye Zichen definitely knows the location of the ley line. Since that brat is Ye Zichen's friend, then we might as well start with him and try to get the location of the ley line. Even if he isn't that important to Ye Zichen and the negotiation fails, it won't affect us at all if we kill him, right? "
He smiled and crossed his legs. Coincidentally, the messenger of the Devil World walked in from outside the hall.
"How's the situation?"
"Lord, the nine cities in the outer regions of the Immortal Region, with the exception of Pond City, have all been captured by our Devil Dimension." The messenger knelt on one knee and replied. Black Dragon narrowed his eyes and nodded. "Do we need to send troops to Pool City?"
"We didn't receive any request for reinforcements."
"En, I understand. If you have nothing else to say, you may leave."
"I still have something to report." "It's like this. According to the reports, all the cities outside the Celestial Region are empty. I think there's a possibility that …"
"Empty City?" Black Dragon raised his eyebrows. "That's understandable. The war between the Immortal Region and the Underworld is so intense. They would naturally evacuate the mortals of the outside world. There's no need to worry about that."
"Yes!"
The messenger bowed and left the hall. However, Qiu Hai's wrinkled face remained solemn.
"Senior, are you worried about something?"
"It's a little concerning that all of them are empty, but you're the one who initiated this operation, so you can decide for yourself."
Qiu Hai glanced at him indifferently, then stood up from his chair.
"I'm a little tired. If there's nothing else, I'll go rest."
"Senior, take care."
Black Dragon watched Qiu Hai leave with a smile on his face. However, the moment Qiu Hai disappeared from his sight, his smile turned dark.
"Lord Black Dragon, since you don't like him, why don't you just …"
A slightly chubby man in a green robe suddenly appeared in the hall. From his clothes, it could be concluded that he was not someone from the Devil Realm.
He was also looking at where Qiu Hai had left, and he made a gesture with his hand on his neck.
"This old fellow isn't ordinary. I want to get rid of him, but I'll need an opportunity to do so. However, in this situation, he can still be considered useful. It's not a bad idea to keep him around for a while. "
At the same time, he pointed to a chair in the hall and gestured for the man to sit down.
"Why are you here? Didn't I say that we shouldn't act rashly before we succeed? Try this. We don't have it in the Demon Realm. That's why I said that you people from the Three Realms still know how to enjoy life. Occupying the land that originally belonged to us, the Demon Realm, hmph … "
"The winner takes all. The Demon Realm did indeed lose back then," the chubby man sneered.
"Yonghe, you …" Just as Black Dragon was about to speak, he saw the man on the chair frown, "Watch your words."
"Fine, I made a mistake just now. But you're right, the winner takes all. The Demon Realm did indeed lose back then, but this time … I, Black Dragon, will definitely win, "Black Dragon nodded.
Hei Long nodded his head noncommittally. He drank the jasmine tea that cost two dollars a bag, his expression filled with enjoyment.
"You don't need to be nervous. This is the territory of the Black Dragon. The people of the Demon Realm are not the people of the Immortal Region. Am I right? "
"If it wasn't because of the situation, I really wouldn't want to work with you," the chubby man said with a dark expression. "Don't be too happy. You're definitely going to win. It's still too early."
"I'd like to hear the details!" Black Dragon made an inviting gesture.
"I'm here to tell you not to let your guard down. Do you really think the Immortal Region and Underworld are fighting each other? Also, why are the cities outside the Immortal Region empty? "
"What do you mean by that? You sent me a message saying that you succeeded on your side. That's why I came out in full force."
Black Dragon's expression instantly darkened. A powerful pressure filled the room, and the silhouette of a black dragon could be faintly seen behind him.
"If you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I think … there's no way for us to make peace."
"Retract your spiritual pressure. Don't you think it's very boring?" The chubby man looked at him indifferently. "We're in the same boat now. Do you think I have the leisure to be a double agent?"
"Hmph."
Black Dragon didn't deny it, but he still did not retract his spiritual pressure.
Black Dragon had already locked onto the chubby man. As long as Black Dragon wanted, he could instantly take the chubby man's life.
Of course, that was under the premise that the chubby man didn't have any backup plans.
"Alright, in order to not deepen the misunderstanding between us, I'll take some time to explain to you," the chubby man shrugged.
The chubby man shrugged. Black Dragon said in a deep voice.
"I hope you can satisfy me."
"When I sent you a message, the Immortal Region and the Underworld were indeed fighting amongst themselves, and it was a very fierce fight. The Great Sacred Emperor Equaling Heavens acted at the same time and suppressed almost all of the higher-ups of the Immortal Region. It was also at that time that I sent you a message and told you to send your troops … But it was also at that time that a man suddenly appeared between the Immortal Region and the Underworld. "
The chubby man stood up from his chair and said.
"That man used his own strength to resolve the conflict between the Immortal Region and the Underworld. He even came up with a plan to lure you into a trap. I originally wanted to tell you, but it seems like that person is already suspicious of me, so I could only behave myself. Now that I see you walking step by step into his plan, I have no choice but to take the risk and come see you. "
"… …"
Black Dragon's brows knitted together. He rubbed his chin with a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
"Should I believe you?"
"It's up to you whether you want to believe me or not. I've already done my best by coming here. I need to hurry back now, in case they find out and become even more suspicious of me. "
The chubby man stood up from his chair and walked to the front of the hall with a smile.
"Let me give you a piece of advice. If you don't have any backup plans, it's best if you cancel this operation. Otherwise, your outcome will definitely be rather miserable. "
The man's departure was as sudden as his appearance. After he left, Black Dragon's lips curled into a smile and he said,
