Chapter 804: The Demon God Emperor’s Plan (III)
However, she still ended up coming and she had arrived before Long Haochen. In the past five years, she had almost separated from him forever. Now that they had met again, it felt like an entire lifetime had passed.
In Long Haochen’s eyes, Yue Ye did not really change, but in her eyes, Long Haochen had changed in an overwhelming manner. He had gained a sense of dignity and nobility compared to before, and he was more mature as well. His inexperience of the past had completely vanished. Just by standing there, he seemed like a whole new person.
It was this human who was still in his twenties who had actually become the greatest problem bugging the Demon God Emperor! Suddenly, Yue Yue felt rather proud. The man she liked was so extraordinary.
Cai’er arrived beside Long Haochen unknowingly. She did not make any other gesture and only stood there quietly. She looked at Yue Ye calmly.
Yue Ye returned to her senses after staring at Long Haochen. A hint of sorrow silently welled up in her heart. Of course she knew that their paths would never properly intersect. She took in a deep breath and calmed herself down. Her gaze became determined, “Long Haochen, do you still trust me?”
Before Long Haochen could say anything, Sima Xian had already butted in from one side, “How are you supposed to make us trust you? If it weren’t for the information you provided back then, would we still have fallen into the Demon God Emperor’s trap? If it weren’t for our good fortune, we would have been obliterated a long time ago.”
Yue Ye nodded silently, “Yes. Whether it was you or me, we all became sacrificial pawns in the Demon God Emperor’s plan. If you want revenge, then do it. Long Haochen, you currently have two choices. One of them is to kill me for what happened last time. The other is to trust me one more time.”
Yue Yue studied Long Haochen. Long Haochen clearly studied her as well. He had definitely doubted Yue Ye in the past, but this doubt was never deep.
After Long Haochen had been revived, he had carefully thought through the process of when the Demon God Emperor set down the trap. He found the process to be very strange, because he could not imagine how the Demon God Emperor had worked out that he would be in Modu. As for Yue Ye, she had gone to Modu before him. She would not have known he would go there with his companions.”
And Demon God Emperor had taken very soon after Long Haochen had spoken to her. In his understanding back then, the Demon God Emperor was still outside the distant Dragon Resisting Mountain Pass. Even if Yue Ye wanted to contact the Demon God Emperor, it would have been impossible for him to make it in time. As a result, Long Haochen did not suspect Yue Ye had tricked him. She could only be explained as being kept in the dark by the Demon God Emperor.
“Tell me what you want to say,” Long Haochen said indifferently. He did not show that he chose to continue to trust her, but neither did he blame her for what happened last time.
Yue Ye looked at the mature Long Haochen and said, “You must have found what happened last time to be strange. How was the Demon God Emperor able to grasp your movements so accurately? I can tell you the answer now. It’s because of the Star Demon God’s Great Prophecy Technique. Not only has the Star Demon God’s Great Prophecy Technique discovered that you will pose as a great threat to the future of the demons, it’s also found out that last time was their only chance to deal with you. He even used the Great Prophecy Technique to sense the method and process to deal with you. He had calculated when you would appear in the Star Demon Pagoda. Everything the Demon God Emperor did prior to that was to make you lower your guard. Only the Demon God Emperor and the Star Demon God know the details of this. Even my father does not know.”
Long Haochen understood. He nodded, “Is that the case? Then no wonder.”
Yue Ye saw Long Haochen believe her a little, so she slightly relaxed as well, “Do you still remember the cooperation I mentioned last time? You’re already the chairman of the Temple Union now, so you have authority among the humans. This time, I’ve come to continue our cooperation.
Long Haochen said, “Then, you think I can defeat the Demon God Emperor?”
Yue Ye shook her head, “No. In terms of strength, I don’t feel very optimistic about you. However, we are willing to wager it this time, because it might be the only chance. Once you are defeated by the Demon God Emperor, the humans won’t be able to fight back for the next few thousand years at the very least. And, the Star Demon God Vassago’s Great Prophecy Technique foretold that their chance last time was their only opportunity. Since you survived, you have become an important turning point for the decline of the Demon race. The Great Prophecy Technique of the Star Demon God is consistently accurate, which is also one of the reasons why we are gambling on this time.”
Long Haochen said, “I need you to show your sincerity.”
Yue Ye nodded, “Of course. The Demon God Emperor has already passed down orders for the Demon God of Death Samigina, Hell Demon God Marbas and the Bear Demon God Valefor to lead over thirty demon gods and split into two, leading their million-man army of elites to attack the Southeastern Fort and Myriad Beasts Mountain Pass. They have to breach the defences of the forts and bring the war deep into the human territory, primarily focusing on kidnapping humans and ransacking goods. At the same time, the Demon God Emperor has ordered Ah’Bao to serve as the vanguard with twenty Devil Dragons under his clansman to make his way over here. The Demon God Emperor himself will lead the majority of the elites from the Moon Demon Clan and Star Demon Clan, as well as twenty demon gods and the entire Devil Dragon Clan. They’re currently making their way over. As a conservative estimate, there are over two hundred powerhouses above the ninth step. There should be a thousand above the eighth step. According to how much time has passed and Ah’Bao’s hatred for you, he should have crossed the Yale Province in half a day at most. The Demon God Army and his main army will roughly be eight hours behind him.”
With what Yue Ye had said, the Bright Glimmer of Hope could not help but become terrified. One was due to Long Haochen’s predictions; the Demon God Emperor really did split his army into two. The other was because of the terrifying force the Demon God Emperor had brought with him. At least in the past thousand years, there had never been over twenty demon gods that fought in a single battle against the humans, not to mention the fact that there were also powerhouses from the Devil Dragon Clan, Moon Demon Clan and Star Demon Clan. There were over two hundred ninth step powerhouses. Just how terrifying of a force was that! They were basically outnumbered ten to one now. The demons truly were powerful and prosperous.
What surprised them even more was how Yue Ye had provided them with precise information without any hesitation, with the enemies’ arrival time in particular. This would play a crucial role in their next move. On the battlefield, a single piece of information could decide victory many of the times. Yue Ye had not even stated any conditions in exchange for the information. She just mentioned it like that. If everything she said was true, then they would be able to find a way to deal with the Demon God Emperor albeit being powerful.
However, to Yue Ye and everyone else’s surprise, Long Haochen said calmly, “You still haven’t demonstrated your sincerity.”
Yue Ye was surprised at first, before answering in irritation, “Isn’t this enough? What else do you want? Are you thinking I’m lying to you? I can use my own life to guarantee that everything I said is true. If you don’t believe it, feel free to set down a seal on me, until you have confirmed the information. If the information’s false, then I’ll let you do whatever you want with me.”
Long Haochen shook his head, “It’s not that I don’t believe your information, except it’s just information. You still haven’t demonstrated your sincerity. You are a part of an organisation. You aren’t alone. I also believe that after all these years of development, your organisation shouldn’t be weak and possesses a certain amount of influence over the entire Demon race. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had the confidence to come find me. Am I correct? I need you to show me sincerity, which is the sincerity of your organisation, not just you. As a result, I want to know who the true leader of your organisation is. If you are willing to tell me, then I will believe you and our collaboration will be established.”
After leading the human army into the demons’ territory, Long Haochen split the army into six and dealt heavy blows to six demon provinces in the north. However, he did not engage in too much killing. He did this as a demonstration to Yue Ye’s organisation, so he could wait for the organisation to contact him. However, he had never thought that Yue Ye who had vanished for quite some time among the demons would personally come.”
Yue Ye suddenly became rather pale with what Long Haochen said, because she suddenly felt that she had drifted further apart from Long Haochen, such that their relationship was completely established on their interests. His gaze towards her remained just as calm as before.
A hint of sadness spread through her heart. Yeah, he and I were never supposed to mix. Isn’t our relationship purely built off our interests? Yue Ye understood that while Long Haochen’s ‘death’ last time was not her fault, but the matter had displeased Long Haochen and his squad greatly.
She was right. Long Haochen really did not blame her. He also knew that it wasn’t her information that was wrong. However, her information had still thrown the entire Bright Glimmer of Hope into danger after all. The true reason why Long Haochen had so much malice towards her was because of the pain Cai’er had to go through in the Tower of Eternity to revive him! Whenever he couldn’t sleep and thought about what Cai’er had gone through in the Tower of Eternity, his heart would ache to the point where it was suffocating. It was normal for Yue Ye to suffer from his anger as well. He had already been extremely rational. For the sake of the bigger picture, for the Temple Union to defeat the demons, he did not blame Yue Ye.
As Yue Ye stood there in thought, Long Haochen did not worry at all. He had plenty of patience. Yue Ye’s personal visit had actually shown plenty of sincerity already, but the greatest secret of their organisation, without a doubt, was the identity of their leader. Yue Ye had once revealed that they were a demon god, but demon gods differed drastically from one another. The demon gods ranked toward the bottom would not even be as powerful as a mature Devil Dragon. The higher the demon god’s rank, the more influence they possessed among the Demon race, which also made Yue Ye’s organisation more powerful.
Long Haochen was uncertain whether Hao Yue would tell him this information. If Yue Ye chose not to in the end, he would actually continue his collaboration with her organisation, but if she did, the relationship of their collaboration would obviously be closer.
