I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1031

The Vermilion Bird followed the line of sight and saw two figures flying swiftly toward them over the barren hills south of Bailu City.

One of them was cloaked in a gray cloak, his face indistinct, his build extremely imposing, standing nearly two zhang tall, far exceeding the norm for humans, resembling a towering barbarian bear.

Next to him was a young man in elegant garments, handsome, with a distinctly scholarly air.

The two formed a stark contrast.

"Is this... the Barbarian Tribe?"

Noticing the hint of blue skin revealed under the cloak, the Vermilion Bird's brow slightly furrowed.

"In recent years, Great Yuan's troops have repeatedly marched southward, their iron heels nearing the Royal City, continually compressing their living space. Their situation isn't much better than ours, yet they dare to come to Nantu State?"

"Precisely because of this, they cannot sit and wait for death."

Zhu Wujiang shook his head and said, "The conflicts between the Barbarian Tribe and Great Yuan are irreconcilable, leaving only two choices: extinction or submission. Thus, they must take action..."

Even separated by a hundred li, their conversation was still clearly audible.

Listening for a moment, Zhu Wujiang's lips curled into a cold smile, "It seems besides us, others are also targeting Chen Mo."

"What do we do now, Lord?" The Vermilion Bird asked.

If it were just Chu Yanli, she wouldn't be able to stop them at all, taking Chen Mo away wouldn't be difficult.

"No rush, let's wait and see; I always feel this matter isn't so simple."

Zhu Wujiang felt a faint sense of unease.

Last time, after the clash with Yu Youhan, they paid a painful price. This time, it must be foolproof; no trace can be left behind.

"Let's first see what trick this guy has up his sleeve, then make our move..."

...

...

Barren mountain in the dense forest.

Two figures hid within the swaying shadows.

"You know Chu Yanli is in the city, yet you summoned me here. Are you trying to get me killed?" Wu Ge's voice was low and deeply displeased.

"Rest assured, a 'distinguished guest' has come to Bailu City, and to protect her, Chu Yanli will definitely not step out of the State Mansion." The Jinyi Young Master said leisurely with his hands behind his back, "Besides, I am still here; it's impossible for me to risk my own life."

Wu Ge's expression eased a bit after hearing this, "Then what do you want from me?"

The Jinyi Young Master said, "The two previous batches of Barbarian Slaves, one batch has already been exposed, but I've hidden some in the city. Once the Heart Devouring Poisonous Insect matures and is implanted into them, they can continue to be transported to the Capital City."

"However, there was a mishap midway. An annoying guy ruined my plan, now both sides can only openly confront each other, a real battle."

Wu Ge's throat moved, a chill creeping across his heart.

The white bone pendant carried special engravings, intended for secret communication within the tribe, initially meant to infiltrate Bailu City, it now turned into a sharp blade hanging over their heads!

Chu Yanli's personality would certainly not let it rest; once this affair concludes, she would exact brutal revenge.

The once seven tribes, nine flags, and eighteen caverns had dwindled to five tribes; the Sand Anaconda and Gravel Ridge Tribe had perished already. If targeted by that madwoman, they are likely to share the same fate!

"No, this cannot happen!"

Wu Ge fixedly stared at the pendant, his gaze darkening, his gray cloak stirring despite no wind.

"Want to snatch it? I advise you to think carefully."

The Jinyi Young Master smiled, blood-red marks faintly spreading from his neck, mingling with his black pupils.

Feeling the dangerous aura, Wu Ge hesitated momentarily, ultimately not taking the risk of seizing it.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "I can help you buy time, but only until midnight at most. Also, after the event succeeds, you must increase the territory granted to my tribe by thirty percent!"

"No problem." The Jinyi Young Master agreed readily.

"That pendant..."

"We're all in this together; as long as you do as I say, I guarantee this matter won't leak, given we'll need to continue collaborating."
