Chapter 687: Chapter 490: Moon Goddess Cynthia (Chapter 2 Delivered)

Indeed, right in front of this Illusion Demon, the pair looked like a noble young master and a bodyguard, but they harbored another, more special identity.

The jade-faced young noble was, in actuality, the Fourth Demon Prince, McDonald.

His current handsome and elegant appearance, even somewhat resembling a delicate scholar, was not McDonald’s disguise—it was his real appearance.

Among the many children of Demon King Nage, McDonald was undoubtedly the most human-like. Although Atreus could also pass as a beautiful human woman, the pair of black wings on her back betrayed her identity.

Lilina was in the same situation, her tail revealing her identity as an Enchanting Demon without a doubt.

Unlike the other princes such as Edrich and Diaberlic, whose tall stature made it apparent they were not human, not to mention the bulky Luo Meng.

But McDonald was different; he didn’t need any disguise. He could just walk into a human city, perhaps not fooling those powerful Holy Men in the Church Court, but to ordinary people, he appeared nothing more than a graceful nobleman.

On him, one could hardly see any trace of demon lineage.

Such a delicate appearance would naturally not be popular among demons and might even be looked down upon by others. It was only after all three of his older brothers had died that McDonald’s status began to slowly rise.

As for the robust man beside McDonald, Lowell, he also possessed an identity that absolutely could not be underestimated.

His true form was that of a Fierce Giant Ape, a noble among the nobles within the demon ranks, and this Lowell was the Clan Leader of the Fierce Giant Apes, and also held another title—one of the Abyss Four Heavenly Kings!

It was clear that Demon King Nage no longer wished to be involved in affairs. Even being one of the Abyss Four Heavenly Kings, he had to consider his own future and that of his race.

They also had to choose an entity to attach themselves to, to ensure that their interests were not affected after the power transfer of the Demon King, and might even become stronger than before.

The Fierce Giant Apes had chosen the Fourth Prince... The reason was simple. The Fourth Prince McDonald was the oldest son currently under the Demon King, besides him, who else would they choose if not Luo Meng, that rough fellow?

McDonald’s expression didn’t seem to fluctuate much at the news, "Are you sure, only five women followed him?"

"Absolutely sure, only five women, no Holy Court masters accompanied them," the Illusion Demon immediately provided the answer.

Lowell’s eyes began to turn a fierce red, his gaze flashing with a brutal light, "Fourth Prince, let’s do it."

"This is a good opportunity."

"Just kill the Hero and take his body to the Demon King, and you will be the next Demon King. What are you hesitating for now?"

McDonald didn’t answer; he just furrowed his brow.

The Hero leaving brazenly with five women? It all seemed a bit too deliberate.

Being more human-like than other demons, McDonald obviously had a higher intelligence. A large number of demons had already infiltrated the Imperial City. It was impossible for the Hero not to realize any danger. Knowing the risks but still choosing to leave with only five women... could this be some kind of trap?

If it were under normal circumstances, McDonald would definitely choose to hold his forces or even turn and leave.

But now, McDonald couldn’t do that, as he had already accumulated a significant number of followers. He had to demonstrate the ability to lead the entire Demon Clan as a Demon King in front of these followers, otherwise, Lowell and the entire Fierce Giant Ape clan might leave his side to seek other entities more worthy of their allegiance.

Realizing this, McDonald finally stopped hesitating and took a deep breath, "Prepare to depart."

Similar situations were happening elsewhere.

A large number of dormant demons had already started to act... Not all demons were foolish; some smarter ones could see the problem, but they had no choice.

There was only one Hero; if they did not act, others would start to move. If it really let other demons present the Hero’s body to the Demon King, it would be too late.

Just as all the demons began to act, the Great Princess Atreus finally made her move, leading the masters around her, quietly following the last one.

Atreus always maintained one belief – it didn’t matter who killed the Hero; the one who laughs last is the true king.

On the other hand, Qin Chu and his group were advancing methodically.

The six of them didn’t purposefully quicken their pace, but given each one’s considerable strength, a day’s journey had left the Imperial City of the Oville Empire far behind.

Hundreds of kilometers was a long distance; in such a situation, once the Hero was attacked, even if the Holy Court wanted to rush over for support, it would be too late.

When the group of six arrived at a jungle, they finally stopped. The women on the ground started a fire to cook, seemingly preparing to camp here and rest for a night before setting off tomorrow.

The night jungle was unusually silent.

Bright moonlight cast down, covering the ground with a layer of dim white frost.

The air seemed to carry some oppression, the calls of night birds and insects had never been heard before, eerily quiet that it was somewhat creepy.
