After Being Sold Out By The Empire, I Decide To Assist The Demon King Chapter 246 - 121: Taking Satan Ye Along

The Underground Demon King City was a concept Yila had previously read about in a book. Whether it was true or false remained unclear... The book ntioned that the past Demon King Territory was a vast and invincible castle.

It was slightly smaller than the entire current Demon King Territory, divided into inner and outer city areas... The inner city was the main castle belonging to the Demon King alone, while the outer city was the territory of various leaders.

At that ti, the Demon King City was divided into the Aboveground Demon King City and the Underground Demon King City, with two rulers: the "King of the Aboveground" and the "King of the Underground." They respectively governed demonic creatures that needed light and those that didn’t.

Unfortunately, Senata wasn’t very old. If those ancient Blood Clan mbers hadn’t betrayed, they might have known so related information. But there were no "ifs" in life.

And during a betrayal by demonic creatures, the Underground Demon King City split from the Demon King City and descended into Hell. In this betrayal, only a few demonic creatures remained on the Main Material Plane.

The nurous Blood Ponds originally present dwindled to just one pool.

"Information... huh?"

Yila thought to himself. He sat in his room, casually scribbling on paper. He muttered, "Theocratic country, the church, Underground Demon King City... Hell... What’s the connection between these things?"

Speaking to himself, Yila fell into contemplation.

"The church harbors malice against ... What reason would they have to need to go to the theocratic country?"

Yila had this question now, and getting no answer, he yawned and looked out the window. At this mont, the Demon King Territory seed highly autonomous. Everything had beco more advanced as well.

Automatic watering wands, automatic fire-starting wands... Now Topps was researching the automation of the Honey Flower Snow Moon and the cent production engineering.

This required a long ti and enough funds... The forr wasn’t a big issue, and the latter was even less of a concern. Recently, the Demon King Territory had so much money, they didn’t know how to spend it.

Honey Flower Snow Moon and White Ball Wine were raking in profits, although 80% of it ca from Honey Flower Snow Moon.

(White Ball Wine: We partnered up, and we’re making tons of money!)

"Knock, knock, knock~ Yila, sir..."

As Yila was thinking, he heard Satan Ye’s voice from outside the door. He got up and opened the door for Satan Ye, saying, "Satan Ye? Co in... What’s up?"

Regarding Yila’s question, Satan Ye blinked and said, "Senata told that due to the previous beast tide, the theocratic country hired professionals through the Three Towers to help deal with the beast tide and specifically appointed you, Yila, sir... The reward is information about the Underground Demon King City."

It seed everyone knew about this.

Yila nodded, and showing Satan Ye his parchnt, pointed to his notes, saying, "I’ve been considering this matter for a while. I’m thinking... I don’t think there’s a need to rush to the theocratic country just for one piece of information."

Indeed, it wasn’t a fear of traps, but a sense of unnecessary effort. After all, they weren’t directly handing him the information. They wanted to exchange it for labor, and Yila saw no need to beco their tool.

The Pope wasn’t a little girl... Bah, even if she were, it wouldn’t matter. It had nothing to do with being a little girl.

But could he obtain this information in another way, without fulfilling their tasks, through unofficial channels?

Yila pondered this. Could he possibly steal or deceive his way to the information?

After all, Yila had never considered himself righteous and would never demand the moral standards of a righteous person upon himself because of his relatively just actions... He had always been one to use any ans necessary.

For things he deed valuable, he would ruthlessly clear anyone blocking his path.

"Hmm... Even if you help, it should be quick for you, right, Yila, sir?"

Satan Ye said this, looking very interested in the topic of the Underground Demon King City. She said, "Although it’s just information, it sounds intriguing."

Yila nodded. Seeing Satan Ye’s enthusiastic interest, he straightforwardly said, "Then I’ll take a look, but I might not help... My ntor told this appointnt could be a trap."

Hearing Yila’s words, Satan Ye imdiately began to ponder.

"Hmm, a trap... Then you probably shouldn’t go."

Yila couldn’t help but smile at Satan Ye’s change of heart. He ruffled her hair and said, "Thanks for the concern, but that’s exactly why I need to go... because I need to understand why this trap exists."

In other words, Yila needed to know who was behind setting up this trap, whether the malice was directed specifically at him, or if other related matters were dragging him in... such as hostility toward the Demon King Territory.

Yila needed to know this.

"Moreover, I can bet that even after helping with the beast tide, they won’t hand over the information. We might directly resort to more straightforward ans... I will bring Vera along."

Yila said this without hesitation, expressing his consideration, "You might find it cruel, but I’ve decided... to capture everyone who might know, even the innocent, and have Vera read their souls."

Well, what to say, Satan Ye always seed like a rather naïve and straightforward child to Yila... More innocent, so he figured she’d have a hard ti accepting unnecessary killing.

"Eh? So decisive... Sounds interesting~"

Satan Ye said this cheerfully, her tail wagging happily behind her. She blinked and asked, "When will you leave, Yila, sir? Can I co along?"

"..."

Yila almost forgot that this little Demon King was a bit sly... rembering how she handled the Sea Demons before.

Yila thought this over. He was about to say sothing like, "But this journey is not for fun, it might be quite dangerous along the way," but on second thought...

What if the theocratic country’s plan was to lure him away and then target Satan Ye?

Thinking this way, no matter what, staying by Yila’s side was always the safest...

"Then co along. I’ll probably notify everyone at tomorrow’s eting, arrange so tasks, and then set off... For now, I’ll go find Li and ask him to prepare food for the journey."

Yila said, looking at Satan Ye, who seed very curious about the "theocratic country." He smiled kindly and said, "You should co too. This trip will be long, so have Li make so of your favorite food."

Satan Ye: "Okay! I want to bring a lot of jerky!"

"..."

Watching Satan Ye dash out first, Yila squinted and tossed his parchnt aside... Conspiracy and traps, huh? Well, let’s see...

What kind of church...

Dared to do this?
