Chapter 706: 318

These ordinary demons had all received invitations to come.

However, they were not very clear about the purpose of the Demon Convention.

Old Man Yang revealed a smile as he spoke, "I invited all of you fellow demons for two matters.

The first matter, well... it’s about to begin; as for the second, it concerns the future of all demons in Yunyan County City, and thus, we must wait for Grandpa Huang to make the announcement."

Old Man Yang was being deliberately mysterious.

His words caused a stir among those present.

"Concerning our future, Old Man Yang, aren’t you exaggerating?"

"Could it be that the Demon Subduing Department is preparing to come and slaughter us?"

The demons present were filled with trepidation, some growing anxious.

"Gentlemen, please remain calm. I can only say that it’s not bad news; for all of you, it’s good news.

Now, let me announce the first matter."

As Old Man Yang spoke, his gaze turned stern.

"Bring Yang Fan here!"

Following Old Man Yang’s command, a deaf-mute servant entered from outside, leading in a disheveled Lamb Demon.

Clearly, they did not hear Old Man Yang’s order through their ears.

"Uncle, spare my life... I’ll change!" Yang Fan, brought in under restraint, was a face of snot and tears, looking utterly pitiful.

Upon seeing the Lamb Demon, the expressions of the demons present shifted slightly.

"Isn’t this Old Man Yang’s most beloved nephew? What has he done?"

"Old Man Yang seems really serious this time!"

Old Man Yang’s expression was stone-cold, his voice icy, "Prepare the oil cauldron."

The deaf-mute servants hastily scrambled around, and soon a large oil cauldron was set up in the hall.

Below the cauldron were fiercely burning logs, above it boiling oil.

Killer intent flashed in Old Man Yang’s eyes: "This good-for-nothing nephew of mine actually conspired with the Human Clans, becoming a traitorous demon!

He went so far as to divulge information about the Demon Convention for a mere handful of silver to the Demon Subduing Department.

Therefore, his death is certain today, to suffer the execution of deep-frying."

"Uncle, it wasn’t on purpose, boo hoo... spare me..." Yang Fan cried desperately.

He regretted it immensely.

He had been tempted by the delicate flesh of an Oiran, which was unfortunately not free.

Short on cash, what to do?

Sell information.

Who would have thought, this time... he’d get caught, and his uncle was now going to deep-fry him.

How could he not be terror-stricken, his tears flowing freely as if they cost him nothing, even hoping his tears would be like a vast ocean, diluting the boiling oil in the cauldron.

"Into the oil cauldron!" Old Man Yang’s tone was indisputable.

Cries, curses, pleas for mercy all intertwined, making for a dismal scene.

This made Qi Yuan standing by unable to bear it any longer, his sympathy overflowing.

"Ah, to see it so pitiful, crying so miserably, to drop it into the oil cauldron, my heart can’t take it!

How about, I pay to buy it off you, so you don’t deep-fry it, deep-frying is... not good..."

After all, this was the first time he was witnessing deep-frying a whole lamb.

Isn’t it usually roast whole lamb?

"Hehe, how much does the esteemed guest wish to offer?" Old Man Yang was not angry but asked Qi Yuan instead.

At this moment, Qi Yuan reached into his bosom, hesitantly brought out some silver, "Ah, my silver is not enough, just about twenty taels or so, can’t afford your nephew... how about... you sell me ten or so jin of your nephew, from parts with more blood in them, what do you say?"

Qi Yuan felt he was getting smarter by the day.

Acting with high emotional intelligence, achieving a win-win situation.

One win satisfied his sense of morality, allowing humanity’s true kindness and beauty to be practiced. Who wouldn’t say, "This world still has plenty of good people" upon seeing this act; the other win was his desire for the Demon Clan essence blood of Yang Fan—if successful in purchasing, the blood would not go to waste.

The so-called win-win.

Old Man Yang’s lips twitched, and after a moment of thoughtfulness, he glanced at Xiao Jia standing behind Qi Yuan: "Give it to the guest after deep-frying."

"Be careful when you deep-fry it, and don’t let all his blood get fried away!" Qi Yuan quickly urged with concern.

Old Man Yang said nothing.

Yang Fan, who initially had hope glinting in his eyes, also glared hatefully at Qi Yuan as if he wanted to gobble him up.

Witnessing this scene, Qi Yuan couldn’t help but lament, "Is this the farmer and the snake? I strive to save him, and he ends up resenting me, mistaking kindness for enmity. I finally understand the meaning of this old saying!"

Indeed, life always conceals truths.

Qi Yuan had an epiphany unwittingly.

Under the gaze of everyone, Yang Fan was brought to the oil cauldron and deep-fried.

Dismal screams echoed throughout the gloomy mansion.

After the deep-frying, a pungent, foul odor permeated the hall.

The expressions of the demons in the hall instantly became solemn and respectful.

Suddenly, a demon wind whizzed by, and a burly old man appeared in the center of the hall.

This old man, leaning on a cane resembling white bone, had snow-white hair standing erect like spikes, his eyes bright, radiating a powerful presence.

Seeing the newcomer, Old Man Yang’s gaze immediately became reverent: "Grandpa Huang!"

The other demons present also stood up, their demeanor respectful: "Grandpa Huang!"

Turns out it was Grandpa Huang, master of the Qi and Blood Realm and the nominal leader of this stronghold.

"Has everyone arrived?" Grandpa Huang surveyed everyone present with an oppressive look, akin to sharp thorns grazing everyone’s skin.

"Enough chit-chat, let’s talk about the Demon Convention!" Grandpa Huang’s voice was robust, like that of a barbarian.

This was completely different from his younger brother, Fourth Lord Huang’s refined demeanor.

The expressions of the demons in attendance tightened, eager to know what was at stake for all demons in Yunyan County.
