Chapter 1287: Chapter 707: Golden Bottle_2 Chapter 1287: Chapter 707: Golden Bottle_2 “Why would I want to deceive you? It seems that deceiving you brings me no benefit.” Logan’s tone was relaxed, even a bit playful, his eyes twinkling with cunning light, as if mocking Elder Talon Skyler’s baseless suspicions.
Upon hearing this, Elder Talon Skyler’s brows furrowed tightly. He certainly knew that there was reason in what Logan said, but the doubts in his heart grew wildly like weeds, difficult to calm. “Since you’re not afraid, then go to the City now!” His words carried a hint of provocation, trying to anger Logan and glimpse his true thoughts.
However, Logan merely smiled slightly, as if seeing through Elder Talon Skyler’s scheme. “Hehe, go to the City? What’s so difficult about that? But, before that, I’d like to ask you, what exactly is your dissatisfaction with me? Why are you always so aggressive?”
Elder Talon Skyler was rendered speechless by Logan’s retort and left with a flick of his sleeve, inwardly vexed. He knew that the contest with Logan was never simply a battle of words.
When Logan’s figure appeared in the view of several sects, the originally silent hall instantly burst into noise. Representatives of the sects suddenly stood up and flocked to Logan, surrounding him.
“You’ve finally shown up, we were all planning to look for you!” One sect representative spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction, his eyes fixating on Logan as if trying to see through him.
“What’s your opinion on the current situation?” Another sect representative also spoke up, his voice deep and forceful, revealing expectations and doubts about Logan.
“Don’t think you can just muddle through, we’re not fools!” Another sect representative added, his tone laced with mockery, clearly dissatisfied with Logan’s previous disappearance and his current demeanor.
Faced with the questioning of the crowd, Logan remained exceptionally calm. He smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over everyone as if he aimed to understand all their thoughts. “Of course, I know you aren’t fools, otherwise you wouldn’t be standing here idly waiting.” His words were teasing, but they also conveyed recognition and respect for the people.
“Alright, let’s get back to the point.” Logan shifted his tone, his expression becoming serious, “The current situation is indeed complicated, but not without solutions. I’ve already got some ideas, but before that, I need to understand your views and attitudes on this matter.”
Upon hearing this, everyone began to speak, expressing their views. The hall became lively again, but this time it was filled with an atmosphere of discussion and cooperation. Logan listened quietly, occasionally nodding or interjecting. He already had a preliminary plan in mind. He knew that if everyone could unite, there would be no difficulty they couldn’t overcome.
In the secret meeting room of the Demon Clan Castle, the dim lighting flickered, casting grave and tense faces. Logan stood in the center of the meeting table, his gaze sweeping over each person present, his tone serious and concerned.
“I am here today to discuss the situation with everyone, and you have seen the current crisis for yourselves.” Logan’s voice echoed in the quiet room, each word as if striking people’s hearts, “You’re very likely to be exposed looking like this, so I’ve brought you this.”
As he spoke, Logan took out a bloody Demon Beast Skin from within his bosom and placed it heavily on the table. The fur on the skin was still stained with blood, clearly from a recently hunted prey. Upon seeing this gory scene, everyone couldn’t help but gasp in shock, secretly relieved they hadn’t offended Logan; otherwise, such a fate would be too miserable.
“This is the skin of a Demon Beast, purebred at that!” Logan’s voice held a hint of pride, “With it, you can better hide your aura, avoiding detection by the enemy.”
At this, everyone crowded forward to carefully examine the bloody Demon Beast Skin. They had to admire Logan’s ability, to have obtained such a pure Demon Beast Skin. In fact, these skins were previously obtained by Logan from a group of Half-human Half-demons. He had planned to use these skins for some purpose, and now they could be put to good use.
“Then I’m truly grateful,” a Sect representative spoke first, his voice carrying a touch of gratitude and admiration. The other Sect representatives echoed in agreement, expressing appreciation for Logan’s generosity and wisdom.
After receiving the answers they sought, several Sect representatives turned and left the meeting room, ready to prepare for the impending crisis. Logan watched their retreating figures, a profound glint flashing in his eyes, then calmly withdrew his gaze.
“For the following period, I will set up a barrier in my room,” Logan suddenly said. “Tell everyone I must seclude myself to heal and not to disturb me during this time.”
Sheron Perri’s eyes rounded in disbelief upon hearing Logan’s words. “You’re going to leave?” he exclaimed, his tone filled with confusion and concern.
Logan smiled faintly, his gaze on Sheron Perri filled with trust and resolve. “Yes, I still have some matters to take care of. But rest assured, I will return as swiftly as I can. In the meantime, do as I’ve asked and ensure everyone’s safety.”
Though filled with reluctance and concern, Sheron Perri knew that Logan’s decisions were always deliberate. He nodded, indicating he would follow Logan’s instructions. Then, he watched Logan leave the meeting room, silently praying for his safe return.
Deep within the Demon Clan Castle, in a modestly decorated room that radiated an extraordinary aura, Sheron Perri and Logan stood face to face. Sheron Perri’s gaze was filled with confusion and urgency, his words carrying a hint of reproach and helplessness: “You’ve left such a mess for me to clean up, and now you’re actually leaving? What are you planning to do? Tell me, so I have an explanation.”
Upon hearing this, Logan’s eyes deepened in thought. After a moment, he slowly spoke, “I’ve already explained this to you, why do you still not believe me? I need to go to the City Lord’s Mansion and test the waters with the Demon Race; they’ve been making suspicious moves recently, and I have the feeling they’re not going to be easily dealt with!”
Listening to Logan’s explanation, Sheron Perri’s deep furrow relaxed slightly, though he still looked worried. He knew Logan was always cautious and wouldn’t make such a decision without reason. Nevertheless, he couldn’t help but speak again, “What if there’s danger during your absence? Have you considered the consequences?”
Logan flashed a confident smile, his eyes conveying firmness and self-assurance. “I have my measures, don’t worry. Moreover, I leave you in charge because I know you’re capable of handling things here. I trust you, just as you trust me.”
After speaking, Logan’s figure started to blur, enveloped by a thin mist. Then, he vanished on the spot, leaving nothing but a lingering afterimage and Sheron Perri’s astonished expression.
Watching Logan’s departing figure, Sheron Perri was consumed with mixed emotions. He recognized the logic in Logan’s words; the recent actions of the Demon Race had indeed been unsettling. Moreover, since Logan chose to go to the City Lord’s Mansion for reconnaissance, his decision must have been thoroughly considered. With this thought, Sheron Perri sighed and turned back to the complex affairs that awaited him.
Meanwhile, in the City Lord’s Mansion’s Council Hall, the City Lord was discussing a series of recent events with his subordinates. Their faces bore expressions of seriousness and concern, as if sensing the storm about to break.
“We still haven’t asked which tribe that Big Shot comes from nor what form they’re in,” one of them cautiously stated, his voice betraying a hint of unease, “Do you think this member of the Demon Race could be an impostor?”
Upon hearing this, the City Lord shook his head, his eyes reflecting certainty and conviction.
