Chapter 735: Cooperate with Him Well
"Anyway, that's how it is. He came from outside the boundary, but he found you, which I never expected..."
The golden bird was still being held in Ning Hanyan's hand, and it was speaking in a trembling voice.
Who would have thought that a random white-haired creature picked up in the mountains would turn out to be the infamous Scorching Sun Demon Emperor?
It was an incredible stroke of luck, something most people couldn't even imagine. But whether it was good or bad luck was impossible for it to tell. The golden bird could only hope that Ning Hanyan would be somewhat understanding of its intentions.
"Hmm, I didn't expect to be alive either, so we're even, I guess."
Ning Hanyan loosened her grip. The golden bird immediately slipped from her palm, flapping its wings, looking somewhat disheveled.
"I don't know if you've heard, but the Most Demon Tower said that after you betrayed them, they put your chief steward, Zi Yuan, in charge of the Scorching Sun Demon Realm. Moreover, he suddenly gained the cultivation of the first level of Demon Emperor. It must be the work of the Most Demon Tower."
Said the Golden Bird.
"It was the Six Laws Demon Lord. He stole most of my cultivation and must have given it to Zi Yuan."
Ning Hanyan was not surprised. The Most Demon Tower now needs the entire Demon Realm to wage war, and the power of the Scorching Sun Demon Domain is too great. If it falls into chaos due to the lack of a leader, the Immortal Realm might seize the initiative in the war. Perhaps the Most Demon Tower does not care about a mere Demon Domain, but they definitely care about losing the war with the Immortal Realm and thus losing the Xuan Tian Realm.
Moreover, Zi Yuan has always had very obvious ulterior motives...
She used to just not care, since Zi Yuan's strength posed no threat to her, and she still doesn't care now.
It's better not to be the ruler of this region.
"I want to know, why are you rebelling against the Most Demonic Tower?"
The golden bird asked the question it most wanted answered.
Why would she give up being a proper domain lord and instead rebel against the most demonic tower that seemed to possess divine might?
"...For now, it's best if you don't know, and I also have questions; I need to continue searching for answers."
Ning Hanyan remained silent for a long time, but ultimately couldn't come up with a reason.
Ultimately, even she herself didn't know why, she only knew that the Most Demonic Tower must have deceived them, the Demon Emperors, making them fight to the death with the Immortal Realm for the so-called "Mysterious Heaven Realm".
Her father, the former Blazing Sun Demon Emperor, had already died because of this, and she absolutely did not want to follow in his footsteps.
"So you didn't know anything and just went against them? That's really not like you, huh~"
The golden bird clicked its tongue.
"It doesn't matter, we're already in this situation anyway, aren't we?"
Ning Hanyan smiled and said, "I am now Mr. Gu's maid. Although I have never been one before, I can give it a try."
"Hehe... Mr. Gu, you've probably got the chance to have a Demon Emperor as your maid for the rest of your life."
The golden bird was ashamed.
When Jin Niao met Gu Heng before, he kept saying that he and Gu Heng were already in the same boat, and that if the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor found them, everyone's lives would be in danger. At that time, Jin Niao found it strange that Mr. Gu did not seem to be the kind of person who would be afraid of the Demon Emperor.
What happened to Ning Hanyan further confirmed this.
Lao Gu had no idea that he had actually saved the Scorching Sun Demon Emperor and even restored her Demon Emperor cultivation! With that ability, why would he be afraid of the Demon Emperor?
Even the Demon Emperor has to warm his bed!
But then again, what kind of extraordinary ability would someone have to possess such skill?
"Do you think it's possible that Mr. Gu is on the same level as those three demon lords of the Most Demonic Tower?"
"After all, the medicine he concocted not only healed your injuries and restored you to the Demon Emperor rank, but even I... This is too powerful, isn't it?"
The golden bird looked at the door and whispered.
It's quite outrageous that someone could so easily regain power at the same level as a Demon Emperor who had lost almost all of his cultivation, even if he hadn't fully recovered.
Such a grand undertaking could only be accomplished by beings above the Celestial Emperor or Demon Emperor, right?
Of course, it stopped the topic in time to avoid letting Ning Hanyan know that it had been drinking her "bathwater". If others found out, wouldn't its reputation as a great demon bird of the demon realm be ruined?
How can one make a name for oneself then!
Not to mention Ning Hanyan might be thinking of grilling it on the spot!
"That's possible."
Ning Hanyan's thoughts were the same as the Golden Bird's.
She personally sensed her injuries gradually disappearing and her strength slowly returning. The one who attacked her was the Great Demon Lord, an existence above the Demon Emperor.
The methods Gu Heng employed were even more mysterious and powerful than those of the Demon Lord.
As far as she knew, there were three powerful beings who transcended the ranks of Demon Emperor and Immortal Emperor, three in the Demon Realm, one each in the Underworld and the Ancient Realm, and none in the Xuan Tian Realm.
So, which one is Gu Heng?
"He wants you to be his guide so that he can move around in the Demon Realm more easily?" Ning Hanyan asked. "That's right, but I don't know what his purpose is."
The golden bird was also very puzzled.
"Alright, he saved my life, so whatever he wants to do, you just have to cooperate."
Ning Hanyan stared at the golden bird with a warning look: "Also, if he wants to know my identity, I'll have to tell him myself. You'd better not spit out anything you shouldn't."
"Don't worry, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
The golden bird obediently agreed, though it knew it had no choice...
