It was deep into the night, and on the island, two bonfires had already been lit.
Beside one of the bonfires, Tang Huan, Gu Ying and Qiu Jian sat together. Xiao Budian, on the other hand, was snoring loudly on Tang Huan's feet with his round stomach.
Not far away, a dozen or so young men were sitting around another bonfire, while the Flamewing Phoenix King was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock on the shore dozens of meters away. Her expression was calm, and the massacre in the evening had completely vented the anger that had accumulated in her chest.
"Flying Cloud City?"
Tang Huan was a little surprised as he looked at Gu Ying and Qiu Jian, "You guys are also going to the Flying Cloud City?"
Gu Ying slowly nodded his head, and said in a deep voice: "Our trip this time, was actually under the orders of Your Highness, we thought that our whereabouts were very secretive, but we never thought that we would still be exposed, I originally thought that they had accidentally discovered our whereabouts, but after thinking about it, they were clearly waiting here for a long time."
"Perhaps, the news was leaked before you left."
Tang Huan frowned slightly, "As far as I know, the Demon Clan Draconians usually live in the southern part of the Origin Continent, as well as in the sea between the Origin Continent and the Tranquil Continent."
Before this, Tang Huan had encountered the Demon Clan Draconians.
Back then, when they were being assassinated outside the Crescent City, the Sha Long Imperial Warriors who fought fiercely with Tang Xiong and the others were all played by the Demon Clan Draconians. Those fellows had long been hiding in the Sea of Fury, and after that assassination, they did not go far away.
The Angry Waves Sea was a place that the Origin Continent and the Glory Continent had to pass through. The Draconians could stir up wind and rain there, but the sea between the Origin Continent and the Holy Spirit Continent did not have any value in hiding. For the Draconians to appear here, it was obvious that they were specifically targeting Gu Ying and the others.
Furthermore, only by setting off at the same time as Gu Ying and the rest would the Draconians be able to ambush them here in advance.
"That's true. Could it be that there are spies from the Demon Clan in our Human Allied Forces?"
Gu Ying and Qiu Jian had obviously thought of this as well. After exchanging glances, Qiu Jian asked in bewilderment.
"How is this possible?" Gu Ying subconsciously shook his head, "The only ones who know about our trip are the three commanders of the Human Allied Forces. How could they be spies?"
"..."
Qiu Jian was speechless. Indeed, the possibility of the commander of the Human Allied Forces acting as a spy for the Demon Race was almost zero, but how had the news been leaked?
"Big Brother Gu Ying, Big Brother Qiu Jian, is there any important mission for Your Highness to send you to the Flying Cloud City?"
"Brother Tang Huan, there's no harm in telling you about this."
The two of them looked at each other, and then, Gu Ying moved closer to Tang Huan's ear. Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to have thought of something, and immediately lowered his voice: "If we talk here, will she hear us?"
Saying that, Gu Ying pointed to the Flamewing Phoenix King in the distance.
That "Tian Clan girl" with terrifying strength caused both him and Qiu Jian to be extremely afraid. They even faintly guessed in their hearts that she was most likely a Stage Nine Law Saint of the Tian Clan. For an expert of that level, even if they were dozens of meters away, they would still be able to clearly hear the sounds coming from this place.
"Don't worry, even if she hears it, she won't leak it."
"Then I'll say it."
Seeing Tang Huan's confident expression, as if he had a card up his sleeve, Gu Ying and Qiu Jian were a little skeptical, but Gu Ying knew that Tang Huan was definitely not someone who would speak carelessly, and immediately after, he took a light breath and said, "Qiu Jian and I discovered a huge demon essence stone vein at the Two Realms Plain. The quality of the demon essence stones produced there is extremely good, almost all of them are above Heaven Stage, and there are even quite a few of them that are of Saint rank!"
After a slight pause, Gu Ying added, "If all of them are mined, the number of Saint rank demon essence stones will probably exceed five thousand!"
"Five thousand Saint rank demon essence stones?"
Tang Huan sucked in a breath of cold air. All along, he had only found high quality demon essence stones in the Holy Spirit Continent, he never thought that there would be high quality demon essence stones in the Two Realms Plain as well. In that instant, Tang Huan realized that this kind of mine was definitely a fatal attraction to the Tian Clan.
"Other than us, only our His Highness knows about this Demon Essence Stone vein. Even the commanders of the Sha Long Empire and the Mo Yun Empire do not know about it."
"Regarding this operation, His Highness only told the commanders of the Sha Long and the Mo Yun Empire that he was sending us to the Flying Cloud City to exchange the 'Golden Silkworm Spirit Dew' with the Tian Clan for a few precious materials to be given to His Majesty the Taizu Emperor to forge the Divine Armament." Gu Ying continued, "The other brothers on the boat also thought that this was our mission, but they did not know that our true mission was actually related to that mine."
"Oh?"
Tang Huan nodded, and subconsciously said, "His Highness plans to use that mine?"
Demon essence stones, like all kinds of gems, were non-renewable resources. Every time they were used, there would be one less. Nowadays, the gems that could be found in the Glory Continent and the Origin Continent were becoming fewer and fewer, and the demon essence stones in the Holy Spirit Continent were probably no exception. Such a huge demon essence stone vein, one could imagine the use of it to the Tian Clan.
If they knew about the news of this mine, the eyes of all the Tian Clan mages would probably turn red.
"I'm not too sure about that."
Gu Ying shook his head, "I have a letter written by His Highness to the Great Clan Elder. According to His Highness's thoughts, they should all be written on it." Saying that, Gu Ying chuckled. With such a vein, even if he asked the Tian Clan to join hands and attack the Demon Clan, the Tian Clan would probably agree.
"Your Highness, could it be that you want to borrow this demon essence stone vein to join hands with the Tian Clan and attack the Demon Clan?" Tang Huan's heart was moved.
In the past few decades, the Human Clan and the Demon Clan had been fighting non-stop, and their strength had been weakened by a lot. On the other hand, the Tian Clan had always been uninvolved, and their strength had always been strong. If the Human Clan and the Tian Clan joined hands, it would be impossible to exterminate the Demon Clan, but they would be able to completely defeat them.
"This..."
Gu Ying and Qiu Jian looked at each other. Needless to say, the possibility of this happening was indeed very high.
"Forget it, such a big matter will naturally be considered by His Highness. We only need to be responsible for delivering the letter, and it will be considered as completing the mission."
After a while, Gu Ying waved his hand, laughed mischievously, and looked at Tang Huan with some anticipation, "Brother Tang Huan, since we are all going to the Cloud Sky City, why don't we go together tomorrow? With you here, even if there are more Demon Clan blocking us, we don't have to worry anymore."
"Alright, let's go to the Cloud City together."
"Great!" Gu Ying clapped his hands and laughed, then shouted loudly, "Brothers, Brother Tang Huan will set off with us next. With an expert like Brother Tang Huan, we don't have to worry about our lives anymore."
