Fang Yu was unsure, and Hei Ao and Zuo Lv should have already left Tianyuan Town by now.

In a way, their actions are even quicker than my own.

Come to think of it, these two guys are from the Five Great Families, so it seems normal that they have intelligence sooner than the Foolish Underworld.

Damn it, I'm always a step behind!

As for seizing the three artifacts, it sounds risky, I wonder if it can be pushed off.

"Lord, since the battle at the Lin Family that day, my recent injuries have not healed, I still need recuperation, can this mission be entrusted to someone else?"

An Menyi spoke calmly.

"Diao Deyi, have you forgotten? The intelligence on the demons at the Lin Family was provided by you. The current miserable state of the Lin Family can be said to have started with you. The Lin Family might not be able to act against our Foolish Underworld for now, not against us old folks, but it's still easy for them to find you and eliminate you."

"Only by leaving Tianyuan Town temporarily, escaping the Lin Family's sight, and allowing us to complete our arrangements privately, can we keep you safe from the Lin Family's intelligence network."

"So, this time, whether you want to go or not, you have to."

"Of course, whether the task can be completed or not, that's another matter. If completed, there will be a reward, if not, we won't blame you."

No one can refuse the temptation of an [artifact].

Once there, An Menyi believed Diao Deyi would make a decision.

"...I understand, then for this operation, besides myself, how many Hall Masters will accompany?" Fang Yu asked, lowering his head.

"Hall Masters?" An Menyi chuckled.

"We Hall Masters need to guard Tianyuan Town and can't go out. However, for this mission, a Captain will accompany you, and you can also choose a few subordinates to set out with, but not too many, to avoid attracting attention."

A bargain Captain going along?

That sounds alright, it doesn't seem like the higher-ups are selling me out.

Fang Yu thought about it, feeling that the Hall Master didn't seem to be forcing the mission's completion.

If there wasn't this accompanying Captain, maybe he could hide out somewhere for a few days, return, say the mission failed, and bluff his way through...

"So, have you decided? Will you accept this mission?"

Fang Yu accepted the order and said, "Diao Deyi, won't let Lord Hall Master down, I will soon bring back the [artifact], triumphant!"

An Menyi's lips curled upward.

"Good."

Then An Menyi detailed all the mission specifics to Fang Yu.

Afterward, he let Fang Yu leave.

An Menyi watched Fang Yu's departing direction, lost in thought.

He's done what needed to be done; now it's up to whether this bait can lure out the Great Demon behind the scenes to silence him.

"You still did it this way in the end."

Before long, Ming Tianqi, having received the news, entered the door.

An Menyi shrugged.

"Someone always has to make sacrifices, perhaps Diao Deyi's sacrifice can let us in the Foolish Underworld exploit a flaw in those demons. We're already far behind them."

"Humph!"

Ming Tianqi turned his head and left.

"..."

In the room, only An Menyi remained, slowly drinking tea with his eyes closed.

...

"It's time to head into the wild..."

Fang Yu clenched his fist.

His strength is already quite substantial.

In Tianyuan Town, even facing those Captain-level forces with three thousand blood points is not too farfetched.

But regarding the completely unfamiliar wildlands, Fang Yu still had his concerns.

Therefore, Fang Yu needed to do two things.

The first thing was, during the preparation time before departure, to try to master the Qi Force technique [Qi Explosion Spiral].

The second thing was to ensure everything was well-prepared.

So the first thing Fang Yu had to do was to return home and begin training.

At the same time, instruct Che Linfang to come to the mansion and, in the name of the Demon Foot, mobilize a group of demon subordinates to leave the city in batches to provide protection in the wilds.

With so many demons in the wilds, having a few around seems reasonable, right?

Then there were arrangements for the second sister, Ding Hui, and others.

With the wildlands' dangers, Fang Yu dared not guarantee a 100% safe return, so he had to prepare ahead of time.

If anything happens, he'll need to prepare an escape route for them.

As for the Green Demon, a note must be left.

If he doesn't return, if his character is killed.

When changing characters, just treat it as changing a skin, and find a way to return to Tianyuan Town to rendezvous.

Thinking about it, players and demons really do have a certain similarity.

"Should I use the Blood Feather Token to mobilize a demon body-level force to ensure safe passage?"

The thought flickered through Fang Yu's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

The reason is simple, the commotion would be too great.

Moreover, all actions of demons in Tianyuan Town are centered around Tianyuan Town.

Having a demon body help within Tianyuan Town's range is naturally not a problem, but asking someone to leave Tianyuan Town to help in the wilds, that's a bit more difficult.

Once at the demon body level, it's one radish per pit, everyone plays a crucial role, so it's not easy to just be taken away.

Perhaps using the Blood Feather Token might lead someone to report it to the Shu Bird Demon, seeking Shu Bird Demon's opinion.

Fang Yu calculated.

This mission.

In the demon force, there's a [Gui Yuan Great Moth Demon] with around twenty thousand blood, and demon tail-level forces with a few thousand blood points hidden in the shadows.

In the human force, there's one Captain-level force, subordinate Deputy Captain forces varied, in the open.

Thinking this way, this trip doesn't seem so perilous.

With so many high-level forces gathered together, the sense of security is overwhelming.

Fang Yu felt a slight comfort, then hastened towards home.

...

On the long official road.
