CHAPTER 831: The Uncertain Future
The Great Demon Lord did not expect Zhao Hai to be so straightforward. He was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter and said, “Good! You are indeed a straightforward person, Mr. Zhao Hai. I won't stand on ceremony then. Please have a seat here, and I will go outside to make some arrangements immediately.”
As he was about to stand up, Zhao Hai said, “Your Majesty, I won't stay here for long. I still need to return to the space to arrange some matters. This blood staff is for you to take. Once you arrive in that city, you can use the message fish to contact me, and then I will open the spatial rift in that city. The Demon Dragon should stay here to assist you; there hasn’t been much fighting these days, mainly helping your demon clan with the relocation.”
The Great Demon Lord received the staff and examined it. Now, the staff resembled a skeleton, clearly not something meant for an honorable person. However, the Great Demon Lord understood that this staff was certainly important to Zhao Hai. The fact that Zhao Hai entrusted him with such an important item deeply moved him.
The Great Demon Lord nodded and said, “That’s the best. We won't stand on ceremony then. If you have anything to deal with, feel free to go ahead; I and the Demon Dragon will manage things here.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said to the Great Demon Lord, “Then I will trouble Your Majesty. The preparations in the space have already been made, so you can rest assured.” The Great Demon Lord thanked him, and only then did Zhao Hai flash away from the Demon War Chariot and return to the space.
The reason Zhao Hai was in such a hurry was that he wanted to make contact with the Thunder Clan, the Barbarian Tribe, and the Winged Horse Tribe. After all, they would be allies in the future, and it would be beneficial to have more interactions with them for future cooperation.
Originally, Zhao Hai wanted to take a good look around the demon realm, and he did not want to expose too much, so at first, he did not plan to hand over the blood staff to the Great Demon Lord.
But then, he thought that since all the people in the demon realm would be entering the space anyway, and the Great Demon Lord and the others could not use this blood staff, it would be fine to give it to them. It was not a big deal, so Zhao Hai ultimately decided to hand over the blood staff after meeting the Great Demon Lord. After that, he could step aside and interact more with the Thunder Clan.
When Zhao Hai returned to the space, Laura and the others were watching the screen, which displayed the current situation in the demon realm. To be honest, Laura and the others did not expect the demon realm to look like this.
As soon as they saw Zhao Hai return, Laura hurried over and asked, “Why are you back so soon? Didn’t you say you would wait in the demon realm for a few days?”
Zhao Hai replied in a deep voice, “There’s no need for that anymore. Waiting in the demon realm is not useful; it’s better to come back. I want to contact the Thunder Clan. By the way, I left the blood staff with the Great Demon Lord.”
Laura was momentarily taken aback, then nodded and said, “Leaving it with the Great Demon Lord is fine; after all, he can’t use the blood staff. It’s just right for him to take it along and collect the maps of the demon realm into the space.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said solemnly, “How are things with the Thunder Clan? Did anything happen?”
Laura shook her head and replied, “Everything is normal there; nothing has happened. Don’t worry, lunch has been arranged for them, and they are about to start eating.”
Zhao Hai nodded, sat down on the couch, and sighed, “How about in the space? Have the people seen the situation in the demon realm? What are their reactions?”
Laura smiled and said, “There hasn’t been much reaction. It seems that people are not particularly averse to the demon clan; they are just viewing the demon realm as a story.”
