A Man Like None Other

Chapter 5207

Back at the Black Demon Palace, Youyue was already waiting in the main hall.

Seeing David and Hu Mazi return safely, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she regained her composure.

“You two really lived up to expectations and successfully retrieved the treasure.”

Youyue said with a smile, “I wonder what reward you two want?”

David threw the magic core to Youyue and said lightly: “Reward is not necessary, we just hope that you can keep your promise and help investigate the truth of the Hu family’s genocide.”

Youyue took the magic core, a flash of greed flashed in her eyes, but quickly concealed it: “Don’t worry, I will naturally do what I promised.

However, it takes time to investigate the truth. You stay in the Demon Palace first and wait for my news.”

David and Hu Mazi looked at each other and nodded.

They knew that although Youyue agreed to help, she would definitely not tell the truth so easily, and they still needed to wait patiently.

After settling down in the Black Demon Palace, David began to practice with great concentration, while repairing his injuries, he was also digesting the gains from this time in the Buried Demon Abyss.

The inheritance of the Hu ancestors’ talisman greatly benefited him, and his understanding of the talisman became deeper, as did his strength.

Hu Mazi studied the ancient books and the clan leader tokens of the clan all day, hoping to find more secrets about the Hu clan.noveldrama

In this way, the two settled down in the Black Demon Palace, waiting for the news of Youyue.

What they didn’t know was that a bigger crisis was quietly approaching.

The days in the Black Demon Palace were a little strangely quiet.

Youyue seemed to be really fulfilling her promise. Not only did she not make any more requests, but she sent people to deliver a lot of healing pills and cultivation resources, and her attitude was so respectful that people were alert.

David’s injuries had long been healed under the nourishment of the Ningxin Jue, and he even took the opportunity of this injury to refine the spiritual power in his body to be more pure, and he was only one step away from the seventh level of the scattered fairyland.

In addition to practicing every day, he would wander around the Demon Palace. He seemed careless, but in fact he was secretly investigating the Demon Palace.

That day, he walked to a rockery in the back garden of the Demon Palace, and suddenly heard a suppressed conversation coming from behind the rockery.

“… Is the witch really going to let those two humans go? That magic core is the key to your breakthrough!” A hoarse voice said.

“What’s the hurry?”

This was Youyue’s voice, with a hint of cold smile, “Since those two humans were able to come back alive from the Demon Burial Abyss, they must have something extraordinary.

Especially that David, his strength is unfathomable.

Instead of making an enemy of him, it is better to win him over for the time being. Once I have refined the magic core and broken through to the fourth level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, it won’t be too late to deal with them then.”

“But… that kid from the Hu family has already begun investigating the truth of the genocide. What if he finds out…”

“So what if he finds out?”

Youyue snorted coldly, “What happened back then was done in extreme secrecy. Even if he finds some clues, there is no evidence.

Besides, he is still under our control and can’t cause any big waves.”

“Then I’m relieved. By the way, several forces around Jiupan Mountain have begun to stir, and it seems that they also want to get their hands on the treasures of the Demon Burial Abyss. Do you want me to send someone to deal with them?”

“No need.”

Youyue said calmly, “Let them make trouble, it’s just right to test the strength of the two humans.

If they can deal with those forces, it would be the best; if not, it would save us from having to do anything if they die.”

The voice behind the rockery gradually faded away, and David quietly walked out from behind the rockery, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Sure enough, Youyue had no intention of letting them go from the beginning. The so-called help in investigating the truth was just a delaying tactic.

He returned to his residence and told Hu Mazi what he heard.
