“Oh? I didn’t expect he could arrive so early. I thought he would come here after the return of the Purple-Eyed Demonic God!” The Master of the Luminous Moon City said with a smile as he looked at the Master of the Demon Cloud City beside him.
The Master of the Luminous Moon City was the one who suggested trying fair means before resorting to force.
Hearing this, the Master of the Demon Cloud City snorted. “Because of you, the situation became so complicated now!”
The Strength of the Luminous Moon City Master, who was also quite prestigious, was second only to that of the Demon Cloud City Master in the Jingyu Realm. Therefore, he managed to persuade three deities to support his plan.
Thus, the Demon Cloud City Master had to consider the cautious suggestion of the Luminous Moon City Master.
“Heh! Heh! My plan is for the sake of us all! If we make too much noise, we will have a big problem if we have to face the investigation of the royal family!” The Luminous Moon City Master, who was not annoyed by the words of the Demon Cloud City Master, said with a smile.
The Demon Cloud City Master replied with a snort.
“I don’t think we should talk about this issue now! The meeting will be held three days hence. He arrived in the city in advance. Doesn’t it seem weird to you?” The Scorching Sun City Master asked.
Hearing this, the other deities became speechless.
If they were invited to participate in such a meeting, they would make full preparations before taking further actions.
Nevertheless, it seemed that Su Yu, who arrived at the Demon Cloud City in advance, was looking forward to this meeting.
The Demon Cloud City Master said slowly, “I’ve heard this guy is very cunning and crafty. He is good at conquering strength with weakness. This time he arrived at my city in advance. We have to take precautionary measures!”
The Luminous Moon City Master also said approvingly, “Right! I witnessed the combat one month ago. He was so crafty! I suggest we send people to spy on him secretly. First, let’s check what he is doing in the city!”
This city belonged to the Demon Cloud City Master. Therefore, it was quite easy to spy on Su Yu.
When the first day passed, a spy came back to report.
“Where did he go? Whom did he meet? What did he say?” The Demon Cloud City Master asked.
The spy replied, “He went to the scenic spots in the Demon Cloud City. He didn’t meet or talk to anyone!”
Scenic spots? The deities were surprised by the report. They didn’t expect Su Yu could go on a sightseeing tour in the Demon Cloud City without worrying about his safety.
“I didn’t think the Seawatch City Master could be so reckless and inattentive!” A deity exclaimed.
“Continue to spy on him!” The Demon Cloud City Master ordered as he furrowed his eyebrows.
If Su Yu were on his guard for all possible dangers, the Demon Cloud City Master would not be so vigilant. However, Su Yu’s carefree reaction really puzzled him.
When the second day passed, the spy came back to report again.
“What did he do today?” The Demon Cloud City Master asked.
“He enjoyed himself feasting and carousing in the largest restaurant in our city!”
Hearing this, the deities were lost in thought. They didn’t expect Su Yu could keep his equanimity now.
Now, all the deities became vigilant. What was this Seawatch City Master going to do?
“Continue to spy on him,” the Demon Cloud City Master said calmly.
When the third day passed, the spy came back to report again.
“My lord, today he went to the Perfumed Breeze Brothel and played around with several courtesans. He didn’t go to other places.”
All deities became silent after hearing this.
Su Yu made a sightseeing tour on the first day. He enjoyed himself in a big restaurant on the second day. Then he played with whores on the third day!
Didn’t he know his current situation? Alternatively, did it mean he didn’t care?
“He is so relaxed now! Does it mean he has something secure to rely on?” The cautious Luminous Moon City Master asked.
The more prudent deities also speculated, “This possibility is quite high. Otherwise, it is very difficult to explain his carefree reaction!”
“Don’t forget he has the Ninth Princess in his hand. What if the Ninth Princess brings reinforcements from the royal family?”
Hearing this, the excited deities became discouraged.
“Humph! How cowardly you are!” The Demon Cloud City Master snorted. “This guy is just an ordinary person! How could he get reinforcements from the royal family? Also, how could the Ninth Princess, who is not able to protect herself, bring any reinforcement to the Seawatch City Master?”
“Right! What the Demon Cloud City Master said is correct! Anyway, the meeting will be held tomorrow. We will know the origin of his confidence when we meet him!”
The next day, a meeting that could decide the future of the Jingyu Realm was secretly held in the mansion of the Demon Cloud City Master.
Seven deities were in the mansion. Behind them, a half-purebred young demon was standing reverently.
“The meeting will begin soon. Usher the Seawatch City Master into the reception room!” The Demon Cloud City Master gave his order while the other deities kept silent.
The Luminous Moon City Master replied with a smile, “Isn’t the time for us to go there?”
“What’s the rush?” The Demon Cloud City Master said indifferently. “We are all deity-level city masters whose prestige is high. The Yu Demon, who has come from nowhere, could never be mentioned in the same breath as us! Just let him wait for us. Moreover, we can destroy his morale in this way, which could bring advantage to us in the meeting!”
The Luminous Moon City Master didn’t raise objections as he thought this suggestion was reasonable.
The underlings of the Demon Cloud City Master went to the Perfumed Breeze Brothel and called at the room where Su Yu was. They thought Su Yu would be inebriated, but he had got up and seemed alert. Now he was wearing a white robe and enjoying some tea quietly. Su Yu asked without turning around, “Has the meeting started?”
The underling was surprised. Su Yu seemed to know who he was and also that he has been watched for the past few days.
“Yes. We came here to usher you to the mansion of our city master!”
“I won’t go there. Tell them I want to hold the meeting here!” Su Yu replied calmly.
Ah! The underling was dumbfounded. “But the meeting will be held in the mansion of the Demon Cloud City Master, which has been agreed upon by the seven deities!”
Su Yu said as he glanced at the underling, “As you said, it is a place agreed upon by the seven deities. However, you didn’t solicit my opinion! I think this place is pretty good for the meeting.”
“But…” the underling became speechless. Su Yu was nothing compared to the seven deities! He was not supposed to have any say in front of them at all.
“No buts! I will only stay here for two hours. If they don’t come here, I will go back!” Su Yu interrupted rudely.
The underling was dumbfounded as he privately swore. Was this Seawatch City Master a fool? He seemed to have no self-knowledge at all. How could the seven deities make such a concession for him?
The underling could do nothing but go back to the mansion of the Demon Cloud City Master resentfully.
The seven deities hadn’t gone to the reception room yet. When they saw the underling, they thought Su Yu had been brought to them.
The Demon Cloud City Master said disdainfully, “Don’t hurry! Let’s stay here for a while and talk about how to deter him! He must be deterred while we leave him in the reception room for some time. So, we will have an advantage during the meeting!”
“Lord City Master, the Seawatch City Master…”
The Demon Cloud City Master said as he waved his hand, “OK! I know! You can leave now!”
The forehead of the underling was covered by cold sweat. Then, he said carefully again, “My lord, the Seawatch City Master…”
The Demon Cloud City Master was annoyed and stared at the underling angrily. “Why are you so slow? Several deities are here! How can you be so rude?”
The underling knew the Demon Cloud City Master would lose his temper if he continued to stay there. However, he also knew the Demon Cloud City Master would punish him severely if he didn’t convey the message to him and the rest of the deities.
“The Seawatch City Master refused to come here! He asked you and the rest of the city masters to meet him in that brothel. He will stay there for two hours. Then, he will go back!” In order to avoid being interrupted, the underling finished his report in one breath.
Then, the entire room fell into a dead silence.
The deities were dumbfounded and looked at each other in surprise. They didn’t believe what they heard.
They planned to deter Su Yu by leaving him in the reception room for a while. However, they didn’t expect Su Yu could change the meeting place and ask them to come to him.
Also, they only had two hours.
One could have thought that Su Yu was a mighty deity and they were pathetic ordinary people.
All of them were shocked and became speechless for a while. Then, the Demon Cloud City Master shouted angrily, “This is outrageous!”
The underling dropped on his knees and begged for mercy. “What I said were the original words of the Seawatch City Master!”
The Demon Cloud City Master said angrily, “Why didn’t you say it earlier?”
The underling secretly thought, You stopped me from giving the report earlier!
“Tell him he will suffer the consequences if he doesn’t come here within 15 minutes!” The Demon Cloud City Master, who didn’t like this at all, shouted angrily. Su Yu’s arrogant reaction annoyed him beyond measure.
At this moment, someone stood up and said, “My lord, could I go there to deliver this message? I really want to see the fellow who usurped my father’s position!”
The deities looked at him and thought over his suggestion for a while. Then, they agreed. “OK! Li Ying, you can go there and ask him to come here! We are city masters. It is impossible for us to make concessions for him!”
“As you wish!” Li Ying said with a thoughtful smile.
The Luminous Moon City Master frowned. “If you have to resort to violence, you should pay attention to discretion. Don’t embarrass him too much!”
“As you wish!” Li Ying repeated.
When he left the room, he snorted with a cold smile. “Humph! The position of the Seawatch City Master is mine! The Yu Demon is nothing! How dare he take something that belongs to me? Humph!”
After arriving at the Perfumed Breeze Brothel, Li Ying walked towards Su Yu’s room slowly.
Then he kicked the door open and looked into the room.
The silver-haired demon acted as if nothing happened. He said calmly as he drank tea, “You only have one hour left!”
The deities didn’t come. He knew the one who came here was another underling.
“You are so arrogant! How dare you ask the deities to meet you?” Li Ying walked into the room with his hands behind his back. Then he stopped behind Su Yu and said, “Do you know that those who are arrogant always die young?”
Su Yu turned around and looked at him. Then he turned his back on him and said coldly, “Go back and tell them they only have one hour left. I will leave one hour hence!”
“Humph! Humph! Put aside your arrogance and come with me to meet the city masters if you still want to save your loyal underlings!” Li Ying said as he stared at Su Yu coldly.
He tried to annoy Su Yu. If Su Yu dared to attack him, he could take this opportunity to defeat Su Yu!
This should be the first step to take back the position of the Seawatch City Master. At least he could prove he was more powerful than Su Yu.
Su Yu replied calmly, “They are useless because they surrendered to you easily. So, they are at your disposal!”
Li Ying snapped, “It seems you think poorly of me! Heh! Heh! Every dog has its day! I guess you have forgotten where you are from!”
