The group gathered again, and Wen Yu's expression was calm, yet he remained silent. It wasn't until Leogua and the other two demonic creatures had recovered from their injuries that the atmosphere became lively once more...
However, it wasn't a good kind of liveliness, but rather an eruption after some sort of stimulation and danger!
"Lord Bai, I want an explanation. This doesn’t align with what was agreed upon!"
Leogua's tone was unkind, though his words were not overly intense. Yet the remaining two Avengers swiftly stood beside him, exuding a "if you don't give me an explanation, I won't do it" aura.
Bai, however, maintained a cold demeanor. He glanced at Leogua, and just that one glance made Leogua retreat a few steps, the momentum he had just built dissipating instantly.
Bai's control over these Avengers was undeniably powerful. If they wanted to quit, they could just wait here to die! As for an explanation? By saying that, Leogua had already lost his standing.
What kind of explanation could a person, who had their weaknesses grasped by others and whose life was in someone else's hands, possibly demand?
The situation turned awkward until Wen Yu spoke up.
"I actually want an explanation too. Well, about your plan. It's not that I want to quit; I just have developed a bit of curiosity regarding this plan of yours. I wonder if you could satisfy my curiosity?"
At that moment, Wen Yu was genuinely curious. The emergence of the immortal emperor puppet, Bai's slight understanding of this place, and the harsh external environment all indicated to Wen Yu the difficulties of this plan. Bai's ambitions were vast, yet the more one desires, the more one must be willing to pay. This was an unbreakable truth. Currently, everyone was within the belly of the devourer, and the external environment was relatively safe; Wen Yu also had the time to sort through the intricacies of it all.
Wen Yu’s tone was teasing, akin to a joke between friends. However, Bai, being exceptionally intelligent, understood Wen Yu’s intentions the moment he spoke.
"I can play this deadly game with you, just as a way to repay your favor. But if I die without understanding anything, that would be a bit unreasonable, right? At the very least, you ought to tell me your goal so I can know what I’m risking my life for!"
Leogua spoke up. Bai could roll his eyes and brush it off, but Wen Yu's demand was something Bai could not ignore.
He glanced around and took out an item from his Spatial Ring, casually activating it. A dim energy shield immediately enveloped the group. After a moment, he nodded at Wen Yu.
"My purpose in coming here is to reshape my hometown, the Immortal Heroic World."
...
"The Immortal Heroic World was nearing its end, just before the immortal emperor fell at the hands of the sovereign. At that time, the atmosphere of the entire Immortal Heroic World was still decent. All the Demon Realm Gates had been sealed by the immortal emperor using supreme power. The battle situation was clear, and the Immortal Heroic World had deep foundations. Everyone believed the war was nearing its end, and we would eventually drive the demonic clan out of the Immortal Heroic World."
"However, everything changed after the immortal emperor returned from a trip."
Bai narrated everything he knew, while Wen Yu briefly fell into silence. Previously, Wen Yu had observed the events that occurred in the Immortal Heroic World through the memories of the Heavenly Dao, and he was somewhat aware of what Bai was saying.
"First, the seal of the Demon Realm Gate was lifted by the immortal emperor, who then went into secluded cultivation. As you know, there are countless eleventh level strongmen in the Demon Realm, yet there were only three in the Immortal Heroic World. The immortal emperor was the strongest, and I was not far behind. Although I was stronger than normal eleventh-level demonic clan members, facing ten at once was still my limit. The battle situation took a sharp turn for the worse. However, at the most dangerous moment, the immortal emperor found me and entrusted me with a task..."
