CHAPTER 386: CHAPTER 203: THE MATCHMAKER’S LITTLE SCHEMES

Silence Demon?

Its form is quite bizarre indeed.

And when using its abilities, the human skin has apparently been torn apart; I estimate it was specially crafted for this gathering.

As for how it will leave the scene afterward, there must have been arrangements made in advance. Otherwise, to go out looking like this would cost it more lives than it has to lose.

Secretly memorizing the appearance of [Silence Demon], Fang Yu spoke to Che Linfang.

"Let me know once it has changed into new human skin."

This ability is useful.

It might come in handy at any time.

After all, it’s one of my subordinates, and with such a useful ability, of course, I’d find ways to make it shine.

Otherwise, it’d just be left to collect dust.

But exactly how to utilise it, that requires some careful thought.

The trouble with demon powers is that most of them require tearing the human skin to reveal their true forms to harness the inherent powers of a demon.

And without the Green Demon, there is no way to perfectly repair the human skin.

Moreover, changing the human skin requires the demon to consume humans, so it can essentially only be used once.

Dispose of it after use, to avoid exposing oneself.

"Okay."

Che Linfang was somewhat distracted, or perhaps had an indescribable feeling.

Tang Shan was dead.

The Tang Shan who had secretly infiltrated the Foolish Underworld with her for so many years just died without any fanfare.

Not at the hands of those humans in the Foolish Underworld, but rather lost amidst the scheming between demons, dying... utterly worthless!

Foolish!

Tang Shan!

Che Linfang exhaled deeply, feeling both sorrow and helplessness.

Originally, if Tang Shan had just stayed put and continued his infiltration, or even if he had been indecisive between two demons, he wouldn’t have ended up like this today.

But he just had to court death.

Before the dust had even settled here, he hastily switched sides to the Red Moon Demon’s faction.

Admittedly, the forces on the Red Moon Demon’s side are indeed stronger and more stable.

But whether Diao Deyi would be able to take over the team was still not determined.

This demon meeting was the true test to determine if Diao Deyi had the capability to take over the team.

If only Tang Shan had been calmer, waiting for now to see the outcome before making a decision, he wouldn’t have met such an end.

He probably thought that Diao Deyi couldn’t take over the Green Demon’s position or dared not move against him, dared not kill him.

He might have even thought that the messages he relayed on behalf of the Red Moon Demon were all part of his own initiative, a bid to pledge his loyalty.

Sadly, he miscalculated one thing.

That is, Diao Deyi had already taken on this place’s demons in their entirety and transformed them into his own force.

Under these circumstances, it wouldn’t matter whether Diao Deyi would take action.

Just the Great Demons under him would not allow Tang Shan, a traitor like this, to leave so easily.

These Great Demons, too, seek opportunities to prove their loyalty to Diao Deyi.

Everyone is pledging loyalty to a new boss, and yet, Tang Shan had to jump in front of the firing squad. If not him, then who deserves to die?

Che Linfang could almost be certain that Tang Shan had no idea that Diao Deyi had battled with Believers.

If there had been even a hint of a rumor, with his caution over so many years of infiltration in the Foolish Underworld, he would have realized that the situation had changed and it was no longer a suitable stepping stone.

What is this, fate? Or destiny?

Che Linfang doesn’t understand, she just feels a vague sense of melancholy.

Her former comrades who had infiltrated the Foolish Underworld together were now scattered and broken, with only Hu Shusheng and Diao De left.

For a moment, Che Linfang felt reflective.

After the Great Demons officially initiated their plan, the situation has changed so dramatically in just one short month, even more dangerous than all their years of infiltration.

"Lord Che Linfang!"

An unknown Little Demon was calling out her human skin name.

Snapping back to reality, Che Linfang realized that the gathering was already mostly dispersed, and Diao Deyi had also left.

The remaining demons were excitedly chatting with each other.

"It seems that our new Lord Demon Tail is very promising!"

"Yes, although not as potentially great as a Pure Blood Demon, the courage to directly confront Believers is something we Little Demons dare not even imagine."

"What does bloodline matter? It’s just potential at best! But personality, courage, these sorts of tangible actions, that is the standard of the strong! I think our new Lord Demon Tail will definitely lead us to even greater heights!"

Most were still discussing Diao Deyi, basking in the afterglow of what had happened.

A few were pointing at Che Linfang and looked respectful.

The one who just stood before her and called her name was [Wandering Vine Demon], holding Tang Shan’s demon head in his hands, his face flushed with excitement.

"Lord Che Linfang, please arrange for me to successfully enter the Luo Shen Cloth Workshop."

His attitude was respectful, filled with longing for the future and a touch of fervor.

Che Linfang suddenly realized.

At some point, she had also mixed into becoming the second-in-command of this group.

Or rather, she had basked in the light of the Demon Tail Diao Deyi, trusted by him, with most affairs casually thrown her way to handle.

Numerous fierce battles and personnel changes had pushed this previously unknown demon into a new height.

Second-in-command, huh...

Che Linfang shook off the various random thoughts triggered by the death of Tang Shan.

"I’ll handle it, just follow me later."

"Yes!"

Apart from taking this individual to see Lord Red Moon Demon, she would have to call over [Silence Demon] later to organize information and report to Diao Deyi.

Though she now held power, the number of matters had also increased; whether this was good or bad, she wasn’t sure.

Unlike the Green Demon’s era, Diao Deyi seemed to have little interest in managing the individuals below.
