At that moment, all the hairs on Zu An's body stood on end, and he almost broke into a rage and ran away.
But having been on the edge of life and death all year round, he was calm enough and quickly bowed and explained: "Then Salamei did come to me, but I didn't do anything for her."
The Lord of Demons nodded slightly: "Very good, if you had been the first to quibble that you had not been in contact with Salame, you would be a corpse now."
"My lord is wise." Of course, Zu An knew that since the other party had told Salame in front of him, there was no point in denying it.
If the other party really wants to kill him, theoretically he won't have time to react by saying this, so he can roughly guess what the other party is thinking.
He glanced at the two corpses not far away, and instantly understood that the reason why the Demon Lord had them lined up right in front of him was to scare the monkeys.
"What is the task that Salamei has assigned you?" the Lord of Demons asked calmly.
"Inquire about his father in the world of practice, and if possible, help her rescue the Lord of Slaughter." Zu An replied. Naturally, he had no intention of being loyal to Salame. There was no hesitation in answering these questions. The other party seemed to be planning to win over him.
, if you don’t cooperate at this time, you will be in trouble.
"Rescue the Lord of Slaughter?" The Demon Lord sneered, "As expected, what about the result? Was the rescue successful?"
"Of course not. The failure of the Shadow Demon King and others in the Snowy Mountains proves that the destiny is still on the Lord's side." Zu An flattered him.
The Lord of Demons laughed loudly: "Of course destiny is on my side!"
After a burst of laughter, he then asked: "Tell me what's going on over there."
Although he had previously sent three groups of people to jointly seize the world of practice, but with such a distance and the barrier of the world of practice, he could not receive many detailed information in time.
Zu An had already prepared his words, and after hearing what he said, he talked eloquently. Of course, 70% of it was true and 30% of it was false. In particular, the key information about the killing of the Lord of Slaughter was concealed.
After he finished speaking, he asked tentatively: "My lord, I was just showing off to Salame and the others, and I didn't really want to take refuge in him."
"Oh, then why don't you report to me as soon as possible?" the demon lord sneered, and the sound of the three strange birds chewing bones behind him seemed particularly eerie.
Zu An also reacted quickly: "I was mainly worried about being suspected by the master, and also worried about being slandered by other colleagues, so I hid it..."
The Lord of Demons snorted coldly: "I don't know whether these are your true thoughts or your deceptive words."
Zu An was about to say more, but was interrupted by the other party: "But that's not important. Once you know everything I say next, you will naturally understand who you should be loyal to."
Zu An was stunned when he heard this and felt something unusual.
"Do you think Salame, Mogad and the others really believe you?" The Lord of Demons sneered, "They are just using you to deal with me. Do you know why they want you to bring those demons back from the world of practice?
Clan saint?"
When Zu An heard this, the hairs all over his body almost exploded. After a while, he found out that it was Salamei's idea to choose the demon saint!
Then wouldn't it be exposed that he didn't know this in front of her before?
That Salame was so cunning. He pretended to be careless on the surface, but in fact he was extremely thoughtful.
It's ridiculous that he thought he had tricked her into thinking that he was fooling her around. I'm afraid she was laughing at his stupidity in her heart.
Suddenly, he was shocked again. Since these demon saints were brought back by Salame, wouldn't Manman and the others be in danger now?
He was eager to return home now, but he also knew that unless the Demon Lord was dealt with, there would be no way to go back. Forcibly escaping would only bring more danger to them.
Now I can only comfort myself, that is the territory of the True Demon Clan, and it is not easy for Salame and others to do harm to them.
What's more, Manman, Xie Daoyun and the others are not weak. If they rely on formations, they should be able to sustain themselves for a while.
Thinking of this, he took the opportunity to ask the Lord of Demons: "Does Your Majesty know what Salamee is planning to do if he wants the Demon Saint?"
"Hmph, it's not just a fantasy. I want to perform an ancient blood sacrifice to summon a legendary existence to deal with today's doomsday crisis." The Lord of Demons sneered, "These cockroaches in the darkness have no choice but to believe in some legends.
But in my opinion, they probably want to use this method to deal with me in case they cannot save the Lord of Slaughter."
Zu An: "..."
Although I don’t know what this blood sacrifice is, I know from the name that it is definitely not a good thing.
No matter what was summoned, it was obvious that the saints who were sacrificed would not survive.
He originally wanted to unite the forces on Salame's side to deal with the demon lord, but now he is in trouble, and the conflict with Salame is irreconcilable.
But do you want to help the Lord of Demons deal with Salami?
Although Zu An had doubts in his heart, he said: "Lord, I am willing to help you eliminate the traitors like Salamei!"
The Lord of Demons snorted coldly: "Who wants you to destroy them? What you need to do is to cooperate with them all the time and do a good job to help them rescue the Lord of Slaughter."
Zu An: "???"
At this time, his mind was really full of questions. Has the Demon Lord lost his mind and gone crazy? If he really rescued the Lord of Slaughter, he would probably be able to get away with it given his strength.
"Isn't this a bit too risky?" Zu An asked tentatively, trying to figure out the reason why the other party did this. He believed that the Lord of Demons was definitely not a fool, and there must be something he didn't know.
"This is not something you should worry about." The Lord of Demons said calmly, "I will open the door for you so that you can gain Salamei's trust and reuse as soon as possible. You don't have to worry about anything now.
Just do your best to help her."
Zu An: "..."
You make me panic like this.
Although being a double agent can make many things easier, since you are neither a human being on both sides, the consequences will be particularly tragic if you are not careful.
He wanted to get more information, but unfortunately the demon lord had already issued an eviction order.
He could only excuse himself. When he walked down the steps, his shadow was illuminated by the dim light on the wall, making it look particularly distorted. Coupled with the sound of three strange birds chewing the bones of the Mad King and the Green-crowned Lizard King from behind him from time to time,
The entire hall was filled with an eerie feeling.
After leaving the palace, the demon envoys in front of the palace did not follow him anymore. Zu An breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to the cave.
What he is most worried about now is that Salame and others will take advantage of his absence to arrest the girls and perform some kind of blood sacrifice.
After a lightning-fast ride, he finally returned to the territory of the True Demon Clan. He was about to return to the cave on the mountain when he suddenly stopped at the foot of the mountain. Looking at the figure opposite, his heart suddenly lifted.
"Young master, you are so impatient, where did you just go?" Salamee stood in front of Mogarde, looking at him coldly.
