Chapter 1657: Chapter 717: Espionage

Seeing the fruit, the Demon King Tongtian’s eyes lit up, and he eagerly took the box.

The Demon King Tongtian was very cautious and did not touch it with his hands directly.

He scrutinized it for a moment, puzzled.

"Is this the legendary Senluo Ghost Fruit King? It’s said that the Senluo Fruit Ghost King possesses incredible power, but now this one looks quite ordinary."

"Your Highness, it should be that it’s not yet mature. We snatched the Ghost Fruit King before it matured, and its vine has withered. I’m afraid the Ghost Fruit King needs to be nurtured for a while to finally mature, and then it will be the best time to consume it."

The two Demon Generals speculated cautiously.

"That makes sense. It has a piece of red light amidst the black. We should wait until the fruit matures and turns completely red before consuming it. This fruit shall be preserved by me for now. You have worked hard this time; when I succeed, it will be your day to be conferred as Demon Kings."

Having obtained the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, the Demon King Tongtian couldn’t contain his emotions momentarily.

The two Demon Generals were overjoyed upon hearing this and congratulated the Demon King Tongtian in unison.

"Your Highness, we heard on our way back that the Golden Horn Demon King is missing, and the Golden Horn Tribe has fallen into chaos. We think this is a great opportunity."

The two Demon Generals encouraged him, both thinking this was an excellent opportunity to annex the Tongtian Tribe.

The two great Demon Tribe leaders have been opposing each other for a long time. It’s rare to have such an opportunity, and the Demon Generals were eager, wishing to immediately rush to annex the Golden Horn Tribe, but for some reason, the Demon King Tongtian hasn’t moved.

"I have also heard of this. The Golden Horn Demon King is very cunning. His disappearance may not be true. If it is a trap, it would be a loss. Therefore, I plan to first send some troops, disguised as humans, to secretly attack the Golden Horn Tribe. If the Golden Horn does not show up, then I will seize this opportunity at the banquet to take over the Golden Horn Tribe."

The Demon King Tongtian was sly not only due to concerns about the Golden Horn Demon King but also because of Chi Ye.

Chi Ye is in the Tongtian Tribe and will remain until the banquet ends.

Lately, because of Shui Yaoyao, the Demon King Tongtian has completely fallen out with Chi Ye, but he still maintains the façade of peace.

The Demon King Tongtian made up his mind that once the Senluo Ghost Fruit King matures, he will break through to become a Demon Emperor, control Chi Ye, and capture the Golden Horn Tribe.

By then, he could unite the Demon Road controlled by the Tongtian Tribe and the Golden Horn Tribe and launch a coup to counterattack the Beiyu Palace, proclaiming himself as the Emperor.

The Demon King Tongtian was calculating his beautiful dream, and the two Demon Generals also praised him in unison.

Until the two Demon Generals exited the royal tent, the Demon King Tongtian went to find his beloved concubine for amusement, and he casually placed the box containing the "Senluo Ghost Fruit King" into a secret room.

After the Demon King Tongtian’s presence vanished from the royal tent, the closed box moved slightly.

Only a "crack" sound was heard as the box was opened.

The "Senluo Ghost Fruit King" inside fell out and turned into a puff of white smoke, transforming into a Little Phoenix.

"Wow, I almost suffocated."

Little Wuya stretched her muscles.

With Little Wuya’s current cultivation, after transforming into a static object in the form of an illusion, she could maintain it for at least twenty-four hours.

Earlier, on the way, she only dared to revert to her original form when the Demon Generals were resting, to lull them.

Finally arriving at the Tongtian Tribe, she was initially concerned about being seen through by the Demon King Tongtian, but now it seems she was overthinking.

Little Wuya took out a storage bag from herself, from which an Elixir Pill slipped out.

The shape of the Elixir Pill was similar to the Senluo Ghost Fruit King, only that the Elixir was black splattered with red.

This thing was refined by Ye Lingyue in collaboration with Guangzi using Heart Execution Grass, as Guangzi said, it would gradually change color over time.

Half a moon later, right around the Demon King Tongtian’s birthday, the Elixir would turn completely red.

By then, once the Golden Horn Demon King consumes it...

Little Wuya revealed a classic "Ye Family sly smile," eyeing the Demon King’s tent vigilantly.

Earlier, the conversation between the Demon King Tongtian and the two Demon Generals was overheard entirely by her.

"Tsk tsk, I never imagined the Demon King Tongtian intends to rebel. This is truly a great opportunity, once I grasp the situation of the Tongtian Tribe thoroughly, I must quickly bring the news back to the boss."

Little Wuya transformed into a patterned-foot female mosquito, buzzing as she flew out of the royal tent.

The Tongtian Tribe beneath the night sky was filled with numerous tents.

Little Wuya spent nearly two hours taking mental notes of the Tongtian Tribe’s tents and troop positions.

The Tongtian Tribe, one of the two great Demon Tribes of the Central Plains Region, has a troop strength of at least one hundred thousand, with the Demon King Tongtian having two Demon Generals under him, along with numerous affiliated Demon Tribe members, totaling around fifty thousand troops.

Moreover, judging by the arrangements made, the Demon King Tongtian has invited quite a few Demon Tribes for this banquet.

After jotting down the approximate details, Little Wuya intended to return near the royal tent; during this time, she planned to closely monitor every move of the Golden Horn Demon King.

Having flown just a few steps away, she encountered a lavishly dressed woman quarreling with several soldiers.

"Let me inside; I want to see Chi Ye Brother."

Shui Yaoyao was in a confrontation with several Chi Prison Army soldiers.

"Shui Young Clan Leader, Lord Chi Ye has instructed that he is busy with official matters and does not want to be disturbed by anyone."

Ever since the Maid named Little Wu inexplicably disappeared, the temper of the Demon Emperor has been quite horrible.

Let alone Shui Yaoyao, even when someone from the Chi Ye Army enters the tent, they would be thoroughly cursed by Chi Ye.

If not for the Empress Dowager Chi’s command that Chi Ye should remain until the banquet ends, Chi Ye would have returned to the Beiyu Palace ages ago.

"Even you dare to show me attitude, wait and see; I’ll make you regret it."

Shui Yaoyao was on the verge of tears, Chi Ye’s indifference was cutting her heart like a knife.

"Young Clan Leader, you should return to the tent earlier."

The Maid beside her kindly advised.

"Get lost, you shameless little hussy. Why are you following me? Are you trying to seduce Chi Ye Brother like that slut Little Wu?"

Shui Yaoyao began to punch and kick her maid left and right.

The Chi Ye Army people couldn’t stop them, and Shui Yaoyao stormed off in anger.

"This must be the Demon King Tongtian’s woman. What kind of Young Clan Leader, truly unreasonable."

Little Wuya witnessed this tantrum and curiously eyed Chi Ye’s tent.

Who would dare confront the beloved daughter of the Demon King Tongtian so boldly?

"Forget it; I’m acting like Little Zhiyo and gossiping. Better to return to the royal tent soon to shadow the Demon King Tongtian."

Little Wuya headed towards the direction of the royal tent.
