"Zi Yan, you bitch..."
"Don't think I don't know, you want to monopolize the resources of this spacetime!"
"Don't even think about it! Lord Slaughter Demon Lord will not let you go!"
Despite hearing these vulgar words, Zi Yan's delicate face remained completely calm, without even raising an eyebrow.
Such vile insults meant nothing to her.
However, she didn't want to listen to this fool's incessant barking anymore, which only tainted her ears.
With a casual lift of her jade-like hand, a strange yet beautiful purple flame lotus instantly condensed in her palm, radiating destructive energy.
Without even glancing at it, she gently tossed it down towards the chattering flesh mountain demon below.
The purple lotus fell silently, moving with lightning speed, aiming straight for the head of the Flesh Mountain Demon.
If this attack hits, the Flesh Mountain Demon will surely die.
"Humph!"
Upon seeing this, Lan Tianyu couldn't help but snort coldly.
Although he didn't know why Zi Yan insisted on killing the flesh mountain demon, he had to stop the enemy from doing what they were doing.
His left hand flashed out like lightning, and the Hall of Radiance moved instantly.
Six magic arrays, each three meters in diameter, appeared on the path that the purple lotus could only take.
The purple lotus was touched by countless beams of white light, and the outer layer of demonic flames dimmed and shrank considerably.
At the same time, Lan Tianyu once again swung the Ghost Wolf Blade.
A crimson blade of energy struck first, accurately hitting the weakened purple lotus.
boom!
There was a muffled sound.
The crimson blade energy collided with the purple lotus flower in mid-air.
The energy shockwave spread outwards, blowing dust up from the roof of the unfinished building.
In the end, the purple lotus was successfully defeated and vanished without a trace.
Upon seeing this, Zi Yan's beautiful face showed obvious surprise for the first time.
Her eerie purple eyes looked at Lan Tianyu with confusion: "Why did you save this idiot?"
Lan Tianyu stood there with his knife in hand, offering no reply.
Zi Yan was incredibly intelligent and quickly understood Lan Tianyu's intentions after a moment's thought.
This human is trying to extract information from that idiot!
She suddenly smiled, a smile that carried a touch of bewitching allure, yet also seemed to reveal a hint of sincerity:
"Human, what do you want to know?"
"If you let me kill this idiot below, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
After saying that, Zi Yan sat in the air, her golden stiletto heels slightly lifted by her jade-like fingers painted with nail polish.
Lan Tianyu's eyes were sharp as knives, but inwardly he was sneering.
Ah, one can get a glimpse of what a demon is like just by looking at the black dragon.
It's easier to convince a sow to fly than to convince a succubus.
This is likely just a delaying tactic on her part, or an attempt to mislead herself.
In the blink of an eye, his vigilance reached its peak.
Seeing the undisguised distrust in Lan Tianyu's eyes, Zi Yan rolled her eyes in annoyance.
"Hey! I'm telling the truth, why won't you believe me?"
"They were clearly very sincere!"
Her eyes lit up, and she came up with an idea.
"Alright, I can tell you some information first."
"As for the head of that idiot down there, I can collect it later."
What do you think of this suggestion?
Lan Tianyu quickly weighed the options in his mind.
If we interrogate the Flesh Mountain Demon alone, we might only get its side of the story, and we wouldn't be able to tell if it's true or false.
However, if we can take advantage of the conflict between Zi Yan and the Flesh Mountain Demon, we might be able to extract more accurate information.
Without showing any emotion, he secretly transmitted his voice to the flesh mountain demon on the ground, who was still panting and cursing:
“Listen, when she answers my question, if she lies, you immediately make a fuss.”
"If your testimony is true, I will stop her and spare your life!"
"Otherwise, you'll only have one way out: death."
Upon hearing this, the Flesh Mountain Demon's one eye widened suddenly.
Although it hated Zi Yan intensely, it didn't want to die even more.
This human proposal is its only chance of survival.
Its massive body trembled violently, clearly trying desperately to express its agreement.
Lan Tianyu then looked up at Zi Yan, his voice icy:
"Okay, I'll ask, and you answer."
"If there is even half a lie..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but the cold glint of the Ghost Wolf Blade in his hand said it all.
"My first question is, are you from the Demon Realm?"
Lan Tianyu asked in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Zi Yan's answer was crisp and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
After all, this is almost an obvious fact.
Even if she says no, this human won't believe her.
Lan Tianyu was not surprised and glanced at the Flesh Mountain Demon.
The Flesh Mountain Demon did not utter a word in rebuttal, but stared at Zi Yan with a venomous look in its single eye.
"My second question is, what is the purpose of your visit?"
Lan Tianyu asked the most crucial question.
They couldn't possibly be here just for tourism; they must have some ulterior motive.
He must figure out the other party's plan before he can formulate the next step.
Zi Yan's lips curled into a bewitching smile as she clearly uttered two words: "Harvest."
She paused and added.
"Specifically, it is about harvesting the resources of this space-time, including living beings, souls, energy, and everything of value."
Upon hearing this, Lan Tianyu turned his gaze to the side again.
The flesh mountain demon looked as if it had lost its parents, its massive body completely still, which undoubtedly confirmed that what Zi Yan said was true.
"The third question is, how many demons have arrived in this timeline so far?"
Lan Tianyu continued to press for answers.
Zi Yan tilted her head slightly, seemingly calculating, and then said:
"There are definitely no more than ten people like me who came early, including this idiot below."
This was calculated by her based on the size of the wormhole created by the cavitation cone.
Because the shapes and sizes of demons vary, there will definitely be some error, but ten is already a conservative estimate.
If it weren't for the fact that her mother only trusted her as her daughter, she (Zhao) could have brought a few demons with her.
"You're not one of those Slaughter Demon Lord's subordinates, how many demons have come this time?"
Lan Tianyu looked at the Flesh Mountain Demon again and asked in a cold voice.
"Including myself, there were five of us."
The Flesh Mountain Demon dared not hide anything and responded meekly.
"So, you were actually divided into several groups?"
Lan Tianyu deduced this conclusion from their conversation.
"Human, you are very clever. We are indeed divided into three groups, each belonging to a different camp."
Zi Yan's beautiful eyes sparkled as she looked at Lan Tianyu with admiration.
The ability to extract key information from fragmented data shows that this human is indeed capable, rather than being a mindless brute.
Lan Tianyu raised an eyebrow, trying to find something that would be advantageous to him from this information.
Even if the Demon Realm is divided into factions, it is impossible for them to give up the resources of a new timeline because of infighting.
He, or rather the entire Gold Dimension, will ultimately face being harvested by the Demon Realm.
Since we cannot change this situation, we must know when the demon realm will come to reap the rewards so that we can make full preparations.
Lan Tianyu no longer hesitated and pressed for an answer.
"The fourth question is, will more demons arrive? And when will they arrive?"
Zi Yan frowned slightly, not because she didn't want to answer, but because she didn't know the answer to the second question either.
In her haste to arrive in this new time and space to seize the initiative, she naturally couldn't possibly know about the Heavenly Demon Lord's subsequent plans.
As the commander-in-chief of this new era of conquest, the Heavenly Demon Lord must have given his approval before the demon army can set off.
"The Demon Realm usually adopts an invasion strategy when dealing with new timelines, so a large army of demons will inevitably come."
"And it will take a long time to gather so many demons."
Zi Yan carefully considered her words and could only give a vague answer.
Do you know when the demon army will arrive?
Lan Tianyu looked at the Flesh Mountain Demon with incredibly sharp eyes.
"The exact time is known only to the commander-in-chief of this operation, the Heavenly Demon Lord; no one else knows."
The single eye on the head of the flesh mountain demon twitched slightly, and its body trembled continuously.
[079] You went back on your word! Let's join forces to kill the demon!
"Only the commander-in-chief of this mission, the Heavenly Demon Lord, knows the exact time of their arrival; no one else knows."
The Flesh Mountain Demon knew very well that if it lied, the human in front of it would kill it without hesitation.
Lan Tianyu's heart sank upon hearing this. The lack of a definite time meant that a crisis could strike at any moment.
He stared intently at Zi Yan and asked:
"Based on your understanding of the Demon Realm, how long do you estimate it will take?"
Zi Yan pondered for a moment, her beautiful purple eyes sparkling as if she were thinking seriously.
"It will probably take at least a month, and at the slowest it will not exceed six months."
Hearing that there would be at least a one-month grace period, Lan Tianyu's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
However, Ziyan's words should not be taken at face value.
This time should be cut in half at least.
