"The Rising Sun City?" The shorter demon began to wonder; just what was the ident.i.ty of this kid in front of him? 

"Who are you in the end?" 

"The City Lord of The Rising Sun City, Shen Yanxiao." Shen Yanxiao lifted her lips slightly and whispered these words. 

"But all my demons like to call me Demon Lord." 

"Demon… Lord..." The shorter demon thought that that word, along with the word ‘human being’, just didn’t go well together.

Moreover, she said... her demons...? 

What was this all about? 

“Your companion has been injured by me. You talk over this matter yourselves. Today, you lost. I’ll ask you to be clever and put your talent to good use.” Shen Yanxiao was like a teacher of a kindergarten, smiling and kindly encouraging the shorter demon. Yet, her five fingers firmly clasping the head of the shorter demon betrayed her image. 

The severe pain on top of his head made the shorter demon tremble. He had no doubt that if he dared to do anything, this boy would kill him. 

Looking up at Shen Yanxiao's harmless smiling face, the shorter demon could not think of anything else; he felt that she was the real demon instead.

"I understand, I will let them leave immediately, and then we’ll go... to The Rising Sun City." The shorter demon agreed. On one side, it was because he succ.u.mbed to the strength of Shen Yanxiao, and on the other side, it was due to the dark elements. 

Their current plan had already failed. It was almost impossible for them to find food in a short period of time. Once that group of mercenaries returned to the city, it would be difficult to guarantee that the Blizzard Mercenary Corps and the Iron Blood Mercenary Corps would not send anyone to retaliate against them. 

The number of demons in their group was not too high. The plan this time could only be successful through scheming. If they fought the two major mercenary corps head-on, they would be at a total disadvantage. 

“Good.” Shen Yanxiao was satisfied and finally withdrew her hand and stood up. She was not afraid that these demons would go back on their word. The reason why she wanted to protect this group of people was to cut the chance for these two higher demons to retreat to the northern region. By now, after provoking the heads of the two large Mercenary Corps, this group of demons would surely not be able to withstand their big retaliation.

Furthermore, she had revealed the matter about the dark elements. She believed that with the minds of these two demons, they should know what to choose. 

Shen Yanxiao lifted up the Hardening Curse on the shorter demon and then turned away. 

The shorter demon moved his stiff hands and feet and stood up from the ground. Watching Shen Yanxiao's unguarded back, he frowned slightly. 

“d.a.m.n, finally found you...” The taller demon finally arrived at this time. The wound on his shoulder still had traces of purple blood. When he saw Shen Yanxiao’s back, he immediately wanted to pounce on her. 

However, the shorter demon pulled his arm at that moment. 

"What are you doing?" The taller demon was puzzled as he looked at his companion. 

"We are not her opponent. If she wants to kill us, she would have already done it." The shorter demon shook his head at the other higher demon. 

If it were a head-on one-on-one battle, they might be able to fight with this youngster. But this boy had never engaged in a head-on confrontation with them, plus he was also good at using the loopholes in their perception to hide in such a chaotic battlefield. If they insisted on fighting, they would only continue to suffer. 

In the face of absolute strength, all schemes had became jokes. 

However, in the case of equal strength, a good scheme could turn things around. 

The taller demon still wanted to say something, but the shorter demon winked at him and whispered something in his ear. 

The next second, the expression of the taller demon transformed from anger to surprise, and even his eyes flashed a hint of excitement. 

"Are you telling the truth?"
