The Regressed Demon Lord is Kind

“What I meant was, you and your wife are in charge of this negotiation.” The middle-aged man said thoughtfully, “Your contribution throughout these years is acknowledged by the family. The head of the family has promised that if you can bring enough benefits for the family at Qianhu city, the family will officially include you both as core members.”

In front of the middle-aged man stood a young man who looked to be in his twenties. He stood casually yet without any sense of slackness. On the contrary, one could feel his temperament was quite special. He was not handsome, but his eyes were very attractive. On a closer look, one could see there were traces of piercing on both his ears.

“How much is enough?” asked the young man, smiling, looking as if he was not afraid of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man stretched out a finger, and replied solemnly, “A ticket!”

The young man thought for a moment and shook his head, “This I cannot guarantee. In Qianhu city, we don’t have too many advantages, that is Moon Frost Island and the Luo family’s territory. And the fact that our relationship with Moon Frost Island has not been cordial over the years is a big drag.”

The middle-aged man nodded, “You are right. Still, it’s still an advantage. Although Moon Frost Island is able to occupy a dominant position, but no one wants this alliance to be their voice, probably even she herself would be reluctant to do so. Neutral forces like us are the best choice for them and the other people. It all depends on your operation.”

“I see,” the young man nodded.

“This time, we will participate in the elite competition, and be able to showcase our strength. The head of the family has decided that he will send the strongest card artisan of the family to assist you. From what I’ve seen from these card artisans, you have to make allowances for them. Be careful not to run into any conflicts along the way,” enjoined the middle-aged man.

“Hey, looks like I’m going to have to act weak,” the young man shrugged and threw up his hands in frustration.

“Rest assured, the head of the family has sent word that you are in charge of this journey, and they will listen to you,” the middle-aged man comforted him hastily.

“That also depends if they will act according to my orders,” muttered the young man.

At an uninhabited bother of the Heavenly Drum Village District, a long-haul shuttle pulled up and a flood of passengers boarded on it. Their faces carried an alarmed expression, at the same it looked as if they were expecting something.

“Though you have paid, gentlemen. But I want to remind you that further on, is the Heavenly Drum Village District. You have yet to receive a pass, and if you are caught by card artisans of the Heavenly Drum Village District, you will be shot in the first sight! Due to the high illegal immigration rate recently, the number of patrolling card artisans is higher than before. And the Heavenly Drum Village District is not your idea of a paradise. Good luck, everyone!”

With that, the shuttle turned back.

In recent years, due to the continuous warfare of local power, the life of the residents of the common residential district have become more and more difficult. The relative peace of flourishing districts was a paradise to them. However, access to the flourishing districts was out of reach for ordinary people, hence illegal immigration began to spread on a large scale. Large numbers of residents from the common residential district have risked death by sneaking into Heavenly Drum Village District from more remote parts of the border.

There were many transportation companies that secretly carried out such transportation businesses.

After only a moment of hesitation, the passengers headed to the Heavenly Drum Village District. If there was other options, who would choose illegal immigration?

Among the crowd, a woman with a stiff facial expression quietly ducked into the jungle ghostily.

Outside West Delhi City was planted a large number of blue star butterfly flowers. Looking ahead, it was a blue sea of flowers. Especially during this season, blue velvet flowers and white snowflakes were dancing in the wind, the scenery was beyond beautiful.

However, a breath of romance could no longer be sensed in this beautiful scenery, instead, a chilly atmosphere was spreading. The blue velvet flowers and the white snowflakes had lost their charm and softness and had become sharp.

And all because of a procession!

A great army slowly advanced towards West Delhi City. The perfect battle formation, slow and silent, like mercury sliding across the sky. No one spoke, each card artisan looked grave, and a sense of inexplicable oppression spread invisibly in this silence.

Card artisans who have prepared to go out of the city were all shocked when they suddenly saw this procession.

The alarm went off for the first time!

The West Delhi City’s garrison chief swallowed with difficulty, and asked, with a few trembles, “What…what team is down there? What do they want to do? Attack us?”

His aides were stunned too, “It can’t be,” they stammered, “We haven’t heard of such a force around here!”

Card artisans who were supposed to take guard suddenly chickened out when they saw this team. They were hired. Why would they be willing to put their lives on the line? The team in front of their eyes looked murderous! Restrain? Are you kidding me? Who would joke with his own life!

Although the garrison chief was not powerful, but since he was able to take the position as the garrison chief, he himself was still as a good card artisan.

His face changed and was not willing to suffer losses. After thinking about it, he released his own perception!

The perception of a grade seven card artisan, swept across half of West Delhi like a hurricane. Every time he thought of it, his heart filled with pride. As soon as the perception was released, the fear in the heart suddenly disappeared. As a good card artisan, he had to go through a lot of hardships to achieve every step of the way. Though he had lost his gist in the years of luxury and ease, but the moment he released his perception, that confidence from the past battles had once again swelled his chest.

Across the sea of flowers, the procession suddenly stopped as if they sensed this wave of perception.

Instead of reassuring the onlookers, however, it made them look even worse. It was as if a string pulling the heart suddenly tightened, causing a panic attack.

“That madman! Is he crazy?” one of the chief among the other weaker forces who were watching in the dark could not help but curse.

There were no great forces in West Delhi City, and the local forces were always self-awared and never tried to pick a fight with the greater forces. There were no special resources in the area and none from the great forces around the city coveted this barren land.

The shock brought by this team outside the city was unprecedented. Although these small forces were not that powerful, they all are elites with toxic intentions. This team of unknown origin that brought this sense of oppression made them soberly aware of the gap between the two sides.

The garrison chief was the biggest force in West Delhi City, and with the current situation where the federal government was completely powerless to control the situation, hence all hope was turned to a grade seven card artisan!

Before the voice from the perception faded away, all the faces of the people changed!

If it were to say that their faces were only slightly pale just now, then they have now turned to the shade of a piece of blank paper without any traces of blood. They looked at the procession in horror, their eyes were blank with fright.

Perception waves! More than ten waves of perception stronger than the garrison chief!

These powerful and oppressive waves of perception came together like a series of storms, wreaking havoc over and over again on these card artisans with fragile minds of defense!

Grade seven card artisans!

Unexpectedly, the opponent had so many grade seven card artisans!

The garrison chief sat slumped on his back as he looked at the team opposite him in horror, his pale face covered with beads of sweat. The opponent actually had more than 12 card artisans of grade seven!

Damn it! How could he be so stupid? Why would he challenge a team with more than twelve grade seven card artisans!

Oh, my gosh! Was his heart blinded?

He shivered and regretted. The self-confidence he had just now was just like fragile porcelain that would break into pieces easily in front of the powerful opponent.

And when the ten or so waves from the horrifying grade seven perceptions were all emanated, everyone knew that the team could destroy the city very easily! Being aware of this, all the little forces of West Delhi City knew how they should mentally prepare themselves and face the fearsome monster in front of them!

Chen Mu came out from the jungle shuttle. He was very sensitive to perception waves, and he dropped whatever he was doing once the perception waves were emitted. By the time he came out from the shuttle, the 15 grade seven card artisan had released their perceptions without hesitation.

“What problem have we encounter?” Chen Mu asked Xiaobo.

Xiaobo shook his head, “I don’t know.” He was also puzzled by the situation.

At this moment, Qiu Shanyu, who remained silent all this while, said, “The team uses a combat formation, which may arouse the vigilance of the opponent.” She had more experience in this field than anyone else.

Chen Mu’s eyes fell on San Hanshui.

Sang Hanshui was sweating and hastily said, “We always do it in this formation!”

“Isn’t that what the tactical rules say?” Xiaobo added.

As Qiu Shanyu listened, she felt like rolling her eyes with these two outsiders. Running to the gates of other’s city in battle formation menacingly, everyone would definitely think that they were to attack the city! However, she was very smart. Xiaobo and San Hanshui were now the right-hand men of Chen Mu, she did not want to offend them because of this petty thing, her status was not appropriate to do so.

“Oh, then do continue with this method.” Chen Mu’s words almost let Qiu Shanyu choke.

She felt a little short of brains now. Judging from Chen Mu’s performance these days, it was amazing. Wood Word Camp had been so much stronger than before. She was sure that, with a few more battles, Wood Word Camp would be one of the few fighting parties in the Heavenly Federation!

In her mind, Chen Mu’s brilliant image of the tactical aspects had left an excellent impression deep in her heart, but such a retarded answer she received now had left her feeling strange. Fortunately, she was covered with a mask and others could not see it.

Chen Mu’s thinking was actually simple. Although this would provoke some enemies, he was very clear of Sang Hanshui and Xiaobo’s abilities. They were both of his own kind, and it was hard to expect them to do anything spontaneously. It was better for them to do it by the book so the chances of making mistakes would be lower.

“Let’s get to the town,” Chen Mu looked up at the city in front of his eyes.

The card artisans were flying soundlessly, portraying an illusion of a liquid flowing, as Wood Word Camp moved slowly and solemnly towards the city of West Delhi.
