348 THE ONE BEHIND ALL THIS
Even after so many things had happened to him, Wu Jinhai still had not forgotten his original goal.
He had suffered since he was a baby, and that was why he didn’t plan to stop until he found a way to eliminate the poison within his body. After all, that was the only way to get everything back into his grasp.
Therefore, when the leader of the fish demon said that he knew how to get rid of the poison in his body, Wu Jinhai was tempted.
He had originally wanted to exterminate the ugly snake demon and the fish demon leader, but he knew that he would not be able to get the answer he was looking for if he killed the fish demon, which was why he had chosen to give up for now.
The fish demon leader introduced himself as Yu Chao, and he was indeed Yu Ming’s father. The demon also said that he knew about how his son had chosen to become Wu Jinhai’s sidekick instead of following his path, but Wu Jinhai only snorted when he heard that.
Wu Jinhai didn’t even see Yu Ming as his underling, but it seemed that Yu Chao had underestimated his son too much, and that was why he wore an arrogant expression on his face when they talked about Yu Ming.
However, Wu Jinhai didn’t want to interfere in matters related to the father and son, and he only said that he wanted to know how to get rid of the poison in his body. Of course, he sounded extremely greedy and impatient, and Yu Chao even laughed it off after hearing his words.
But then Yu Chao voiced a condition before he told Wu Jinhai the way to get rid of the poison in his body. At that time, Wu Jinhai was suspicious, thinking that the cunning demon might want to frame him. He could indeed see the possibility, but he knew that he wouldn’t be able to come up with anything if he hesitated, and that was why he agreed to follow the conditions.
And it turned out that the condition was that he had to follow Yu Chao somewhere so they could discuss further how to get rid of the poison in his body. Wu Jinhai felt even more suspicious, assuming that the demon must have some ulterior motives at this time. However, he was not a coward, and he was confident that he would be able to save himself if the demons planned to frame him. That was why he agreed to the condition in the end.
.....
There had been no battle in the forest since Wu Jinhai agreed to follow the demons somewhere. Instead of fighting to the death, the demons escorted the intruder somewhere. On the way to that place, Wu Jinhai was not caught off guard in the least. How could he let his guard down when he was surrounded by demons? Even if Yu Chao said that he knew how to help him, he remained vigilant until he arrived somewhere in Dong Lang.
It was already past dawn when he and the demons arrived at the place, and Wu Jinhai continued to silently observe the path he and the demons walked along. At that time, he couldn’t help but think that Dong Lang looked like a dead empire.
He could feel how the low-level werewolves in Dong Lang were still alive, but they didn’t dare venture out of their homes because demons were patrolling their surroundings. Perhaps those low-level werewolves didn’t even dare to make a sound, and that was why the empire was so quiet.
At that time, Wu Jinhai knew that Dong Lang was indeed in a crisis. Unfortunately, he also couldn’t do anything at the moment, not before he could find information about how to get rid of the poison in his body. For now, he could only focus his attention on how he was ushered into the Rongyao Imperial Palace.
To be honest, he had expected that the demons would take him to the palace, and that was why he wasn’t surprised by it. After all, it was predictable that the palace was now under the clutches of the villains, and that was why his expression remained deadpan as he was ushered into Zuigao Hall.
He had been to the Rongyao Imperial Palace before, and he had also been to the Zuigao Hall before today. However, he could feel how the atmosphere in that place was very different now that it was dominated by the Black Werewolf Clan and the demons.
The last time he visited the Rongyao Imperial Palace, the place was dominated by werewolves dressed in white. The sight was different today when he could only see werewolves in black, and those werewolves were definitely from the Black Werewolf Clan.
Wu Jinhai could feel that things had changed in the palace, and he also expected that the person sitting on the throne inside Zuigao Hall would be different today. When the demons opened the door of Zuigao Hall, he thought he wouldn’t be surprised by the scene inside the hall, but he was wrong because something managed to startle him inside the hall.
At this moment, he could see that the person sitting on the throne was indeed not Bai Guowei, but that person was also not the person he had expected. Thus, his eyes widened slightly as the demons continued to escort him closer to the throne.
“Welcome to the Dong Lang Empire, Your Highness. It is an honor to have the Eldest Prince of Wu Li as our first guest after the revolution in our empire,” the person wearing a black robe sitting on the throne casually greeted Wu Jinhai who had stopped walking not far away from the throne.
The throne was positioned on a higher platform, and that was why Wu Jinhai needed to look up to meet the person’s eyes, but he felt like throwing up at this moment.
His heart burned, and he even took off his golden mask before throwing it on the floor. Even his eyes instantly turned golden, and he spat on the floor furiously before shouting at the man sitting on the throne, “I should have thought you were the one behind all this!”
