Chapter 39: Overt Conspiracy

Chen Deng looked at the Pekinese in front of him helplessly. It was a different breed every time. He could not help but laugh.

He picked up the Pekinese and headed out of the Magical Beast Forest.

Before he left, he took a deep look in the direction where Nine-Headed Bird had escaped.

In fact, there was another reason why he did not chase after them just now. That was that he felt the aura of an expert who could threaten him.

Although the aura disappeared in a flash, Chen Deng could feel it.

The secrets hidden in this world were far more than he had imagined.

Chen Deng shook his head and headed toward the Norland Continent.

Soon, he found Bandra.

He was currently around the active volcano.

“Your Majesty, it’s great that you’re back.”

“We saw you chasing after the Fire Dragon just now. We followed for a long time but couldn’t catch up.”

Bandra said in annoyance.

He found the Demon King had recovered most of his strength, which was a good thing for them.

The Demon King Army could finally rise again.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of something and quickly said, “Your Majesty, Commander Molas has sent a message. He found the commander of the Second Army, the Barbarian Bull Quinn Lativa, in Heracles City.”

“However, Commander Molas suspects that it was a trap set by the other party. Your Majesty, please wait for the news of her investigation.”

Chen Deng was slightly stunned, “Quinn isn’t dead yet? Gather the Demon King Army and prepare to rescue them.”

Chen Deng didn’t hesitate at all. Barbaric Bull Quinn was extremely loyal to the Demon King and was the second most powerful person in the Demon King Army.

He had to save him.

“Heracles City? Is that the city where Shield Hero Kayla is?”

If he remembered correctly, Kayla should have been sealed in that city as the Castellan.

In that case, he had no choice but to go.

This guy must die.

Moreover, Chen Deng was sure this was actually a trap. The other party’s open plot, whether it was the Golden Knight Kayla or the Bull Quinn, was the reason why he had to go.

At this moment, Chen Deng was in high spirits. This was simply a heaven-sent opportunity.

It just so happened he also wanted to test the power of his demonic sword.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Bandra rushed towards the Demon King Army’s territory without stopping.

…

Heracles City.

Castellan Manor.

Shield Warrior, Gold Knight Kayla, and Holy Archbishop Xue You stood on both sides.

The Holy Pope Archbishop tapped the table lightly.

“When will His Highness arrive? We can’t afford to lose this time.”

Kayla bowed respectfully, “Your Holiness, His Highness has arrived. We are just waiting for the Demon King to enter the trap.”

“His Highness has sent a message that we will follow the orders of His Holiness the Pope. It is inconvenient for him to show his face.”

The Archbishop frowned, but he quickly reacted, “He’s as timid as a mouse! Was he that afraid of the Demon King? How strong can a newly awakened Demon King be?”

“How many people did he bring?”

Kayla smiled, “His Highness has brought the Flame Knight Commander Yama, the City Guard Commander Zhan Kuang, and the Dark Knight Commander from the Royal Knight.”

“At the same time, we’ve also invited an elder who protects the country, the Flying Man Farranda who has the power of the sky.”

The Archbishop nodded. This time, it was up to the Demon King whether he would fall into the trap.

Of course, he mainly wanted to see how powerful the royal family was!

However, the Sacred High Priestess said expressionlessly, “A commander of the Demon King’s Army is here to investigate. Should we capture him as well? It’s the commander of the 9th Army, Molas.”

The Archbishop shook his head. He didn’t care about these small fries at all.

If it was the Demon King, he would be interested in making a move.

However, that also depended on how much the Demon King’s strength had recovered.

The Heracles City was unusually quiet.

Molas padded into the city, “If this is a trap, they must have noticed me, but they didn’t stop me. This at least shows that their target is too big.”

“No, we can’t let the Demon King come. The other party might have an existence of the same level.”

The Demon King wasn’t invincible. Both the Holy Church and the kingdoms had hidden trump cards.

Otherwise, the Demon King would not have been killed by the Heroes and revived many times.

Although this had something to do with his rigid mind, his tendency to seek death, his inability to listen to advice, his recklessness, and his arrogance.

However, it was mostly because the experts on this continent were too well-hidden.

There will always be one or two outstanding people in every era.

…

Chen Deng returned to Snowfield City once again.

This time, the entire Snowfield City had long since recovered its peace, and no more experts had descended.

Ever since the Demon King left, this place had returned to its usual calm.

Of course, the ordinary people here did not feel anything, because, from the beginning to the end, both side did not disturb the lives of ordinary people at all.

This could be considered the tacit understanding between the experts.

“Your Majesty, you can’t go. Hercules City is a giant trap. The enemy must have many masters lying in ambush.”

Molas kept trying to dissuade the Demon King.

Chen Deng nodded slightly, “Alright, alright. I know you have good intentions.”

“But we have to save the Barbarian Bull Quinn. I don’t have the habit of leaving my subordinates behind.”

“To set up a trap so brazenly can only mean that they are too arrogant.”

“This King is already prepared. Do you think this King will do something stupid?”

Molas rolled her eyes and said expressionlessly, “130 years ago, His Majesty went to the Holy Church alone and fought with the Holy Pope. You were suppressed and had no choice but to die.”

“A hundred years ago, His Majesty went to the capital of the kingdom alone and forced the king to abdicate. You were suppressed by a mysterious expert and luckily escaped. You recultivated the army and took ten years to recover.”

“Eighty years ago…”

Chen Deng covered his forehead, “Alright, I know what you want to say!”

These were all foolish things he couldn’t bear to recall. It had to be said that this Demon King called Saar had simply carved arrogance on his face.

He did not take anyone on this continent seriously.

This person was either courting death or on the road to death.

In the end, he really died.

Of course, he wasn’t dead. It was just that his will was suppressed. In fact, the Demon King was still there.

It had to be said that Demon King Saar’s weirdness was beyond imagination.

Actually, it made sense when he thought about it. There were all kinds of magic in the world and countless kinds of powers.

Although the Demon King had an immortal soul, it did not mean that he was truly immortal.

He had courted death time and time again, which had long since planted the cause for his soul to self-destruct, and Chen Deng was the fruit.

“I’ll listen to you, okay? But let’s make this clear first, we have to save Quinn no matter what.”

There was one more thing he didn’t say, and that was that the Golden Knight Kayla had to die.

This was Chen Deng’s bottom line.
