“Sun Never Sets?” The shorter demon was puzzled. Who was this young man?
“Who are you?”
“City Lord of Sun Never Sets, Shen Yanxiao,” Shen Yanxiao curled her lips and added in a low voice.
“However, my demons like to call me Lord.”
“Demon… lord…” The shorter demon chanted in a daze. He felt that the word did not have any connection with humans.
Furthermore, she said… her demons?
What did that mean?
“I have already injured your companion so you can discuss this matter amongst yourselves. You have lost today, so you must be obedient now and let them go.” Shen Yanxiao was like a teacher in a kindergarten as she persuaded the shorter demon with a friendly smile. But while doing so, she still exerted some force on the shorter demon’s head.
The sharp pain on his head made the shorter demon tremble. He did not doubt that the young man would kill him if he dared to mess around.
As he looked at Shen Yanxiao’s harmless smile, the shorter demon thought that she was the real demon.
“I understand. I will tell them to leave immediately and go to… Sun Never Sets.” On one hand, the shorter demon surrendered to Shen Yanxiao’s strength, and on the other hand, it was because of the dark elements.
Their plan had failed, making it impossible for them to find food for the time being. Once those mercenaries returned to the city, it was hard to guarantee that the Blizzard Mercenary Group and the Iron Blood Mercenary Group would not send someone to take revenge on them.
They did not have a large number of demons, and their whole plan was only to win in terms of strategy. If they were to confront the two large mercenary groups, they would not be able to defeat them.
“Very well.” Shen Yanxiao released her grip with satisfaction and stood up. She was not afraid that the demons would go back on their word. The reason she wanted to protect them was to cut off their escape route in the northern region. The demons would not be able to withstand the huge retaliation when provoking the successors of the two mercenary groups.
Furthermore, she had revealed the dark elements. She believed that the demons would know what to choose.
Shen Yanxiao undid the Hardening curse on the shorter demon and left.
The shorter demon moved his stiff limbs and got up from the ground. He frowned as he looked at Shen Yanxiao’s unguarded back.
“Damn it, I finally found her…” The taller demon had finally found her. There was still purple blood on the wound on his shoulder. When he saw Shen Yanxiao’s back, he immediately wanted to pounce on her.
However, the shorter demon grabbed his arm.
“What are you doing?” The taller demon looked at his friend in confusion.
“We are not his match. If he wanted to kill us, he would have done so already.” The shorter demon shook his head at the taller demon.
If it were a one-on-one fight, they might be able to compete with the young man. However, the young man never fought them head-on. He was also good at using the loopholes in their perception to hide in the chaotic battlefield. If they continued to fight, they would only be at a disadvantage.
In the face of absolute strength, all schemes became a joke.
However, in a situation where their strengths were equal, a good plan could reverse the situation.
The taller demon wanted to say something else, but the shorter demon shot him a look and whispered something into his ear.
The taller demon’s expression changed from anger to surprise, and then there was a trace of glee in his eyes.
“Are you serious?”
