The next morning, Wen Yu woke up early and immediately headed to the room where Tang Haofei was, preparing to check on Old Tang's condition.
Yesterday, Tang Haofei's state was far from good.
As Wen Yu pushed open the door, he saw Tang Haofei lying in bed, deeply asleep.
Perhaps the sound of the door opening was a bit loud; the soundly sleeping Tang Haofei stirred slightly and immediately opened his eyes.
"Whoa, you scared me. I thought it was someone else."
Tang Haofei looked much better, sporting the usual smile on his face. In a state of soul perception, Wen Yu could clearly feel that the strange weakness of Tang Haofei's soul had completely improved.
"Are you alright now?"
"Yeah."
Tang Haofei nodded, "Just too tired. I took a long nap yesterday and feel much better now."
Tang Haofei couldn’t recall the dream he had last night.
Seeing this, Wen Yu didn’t think much more about it—how would he know about the strange changes happening to Tang Haofei? He simply took a quick look at Tang Haofei's physical condition and waved his hand at him.
"Let’s go eat."
...
During breakfast, Wen Yu kept observing Tang Haofei. It wasn't until breakfast ended that Wen Yu finally felt relieved.
Tang Haofei's condition was perfectly fine; whether it was his demeanor or his tone, everything was just like usual. Seeing this, the bizarre state Tang Haofei exhibited yesterday was immediately thrown out of Wen Yu's mind.
After breakfast, Wen Yu and Tang Haofei sat in the small living room, chatting about what had happened yesterday. It was just some trivial matters, and they didn’t come to any useful conclusions until the demon lord gracefully walked in from a distance.
...
"Hey, did you rest well yesterday?"
The demon lord smiled broadly as he greeted Wen Yu and Tang Haofei, then casually found a chair to sit down.
"Not bad, this place is quite nice. By the way, I didn't thank you yesterday, senior."
Tang Haofei, completely shedding his groggy state from yesterday, spoke with a face full of smiles.
The demon lord remained expressionless, glancing at Tang Haofei not far away, then at the silent Wen Yu who was looking down. A barely noticeable sigh escaped his lips, and then he shifted the topic directly to the matter of the Heavenly Dao.
"I went out yesterday to look for the trace of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao already knows we’re here and is currently handling some matters. It shouldn’t take long before it comes looking for us."
Wen Yu raised an eyebrow and silently awaited the demon lord's next words.
"You guys have no idea, the Heavenly Dao is going crazy up there. A large number of level 10 limit-breaking demonic entities are obstructing the Heavenly Dao's actions, but it’s ineffective. The Heavenly Dao has been fighting down from the Tenth Layer of the Heavenly Palace and has already reached the Ninth Layer. Tsk tsk tsk... the fighting up there is intense..."
"Can't stop it?"
"Cannot stop it... Those demonic creatures are weak enough, and their numbers are insufficient. I estimate that later today, the level 10 limit-breaking demonic entities in the Heavenly Palace will be cleared out by the Heavenly Dao, and then the distance between the Heavenly Dao and us will just be a step away."
First, he gave Wen Yu a little scare, and then the demon lord spoke again.
"However, Bai has prepared everything. The preset battlefield is right above us, and the ultimate formation treasures have been brought out by Bai. Today, you two will just stay here and wait. I reckon the matter will come to a conclusion by tonight."
The demon lord meant that the two little fellows should not go to join the fun of the two eleventh level strongmen.
Although Wen Yu wasn’t particularly astute, he wasn’t foolish either. He immediately understood the demon lord’s implication and decisively nodded.
After saying this, the demon lord looked at Tang Haofei who was stuffing his mouth with food and promptly stood up.
"Just wait here. I will come to notify you if anything happens."
With that, the demon lord left immediately.
