Zu An was a bit stunned. He really wanted to ask just what this guy was talking about. The Myriad Transformations skill could make him look exactly like the target, but things like memory couldn't be replicated. That was why he didn’t know this person at all, let alone this important matter. When he sensed his hesitation, the black-robed elder asked in a menacing tone, “What, it didn’t go well?” Zu An was startled. He said, “That’s right.” “Donaire, you’ve disappointed me!” The black-robed elder’s face darkened. You have successfully trolled Mojard for +199 +199 +199… Zu An was able to see what the other party looked like now. Even though he was a humanoid being, his complexion was gloomy, making him look like a middle-aged man with a lot of bitterness and resentment. So this guy’s name is Mojard! Zu An had said that to provoke him into revealing his identity. Now, at the very least, he had the man's name. But he still had no idea what that matter was about. However, he didn’t panic; instead, he continued, “That world has a regent. He's a bit too tough to deal with.” When he heard that, the furious Mojard immediately became quiet. A while later, he sighed and said, “That regent is formidable indeed. The Monster Lord sent three great armies down different paths, and yet they all ended in failure. Many of those monsters had cultivation not inferior to my own, and yet they were all killed by him. I never expected that weak world to actually have someone that formidable.” “I feel as if that world is a bit strange. If it were any other weak world, they would’ve already been dominated by us a long time ago.” Zu An was worried that the other party would ask about things related to the Monster World, which he knew nothing about. He could only continue steering the topic toward matters of cultivation, since he had more to say about that. Then, he could try to get more information out of the other party. Sure enough, Mojard blurted out, “Of course that world is different, or else the lord back then wouldn’t have gone to such an extent to attack that world and even ended up getting trapped there. That led to the Monster World being seized by the current Monster Lord instead.” Zu An was surprised. He'd only wanted to control the direction of the conversation. He hadn’t expected to gain this piece of valuable information. Who is the lord he spoke of? Someone powerful who attacked our world, and ended up being trapped there… All of the beings he knew about appeared in his mind. Suddenly, the Lord of Slaughter came to mind. Anyone who could be called a lord by Mojard had to be a monster, and Mojard had said that it was the previous Monster Lord. The only one who fit those criteria and had sufficient strength was the Lord of Slaughter, and he had been subdued under the Great Snowy Mountains for countless years. That matched the description. Could it be that he wanted Donaire to save the Lord of Slaughter? But even though he was eighty percent sure, he didn’t dare to jump to that conclusion. If he guessed incorrectly, all of his previous effort would have been wasted. “That regent has the world’s authority now. Entering that world again might be difficult,” Zu An said. “Heh, stop trying to play these kinds of tricks with me. It might be difficult to enter that world again through normal paths, but don’t you have that True Demon race’s inheritance to let you secretly go to that world?” Mojard stared at him. Zu An chuckled awkwardly and didn’t bother explaining himself. He was still waiting for the other party to give him more information. Sure enough, when he saw Zu An act like this, Mojard harrumphed and said, “Do you still have fantasies about the Monster Lord, and that’s why you’re hesitating?” Zu An said a bit ‘awkwardly’, “You’re overthinking it.” Mojard was still unconvinced by those words. He continued, “You should know that when the Annihilation Beast arrived a thousand years ago, everyone entrusted all of their hopes to the Monster Lord. But what has he done in these thousand years? “Not only was he unable to win against the Annihilation Beast, our line of defense only continued to pull back again and again. All of the cities on the surface have been destroyed, and we can only hide underground in this world without daylight.” Zu An gave the artificially created sun in the distance a look. Mojard said with a cold snort, “What use is that kind of sun? Isn’t it only there to appease everyone’s moods? It only uses up a ton of resources for nothing. Haven’t you noticed that the daytime has gotten shorter and shorter?” “That is indeed the case.” Zu An thought, I just came here, so how would I know? But judging from this information, he could deduce that this world’s resources were growing fewer and fewer. They definitely couldn't afford the burden of the artificial sun’s tremendous energy. “Hmph, they’ve managed to fool everyone with their trick of only reducing the time by a little bit. But soon, more and more people will notice.” Mojard continued, “It is precisely because of the Monster Lord’s incompetence and the fact that his so-called immigration plan was completely ruined, that we need to consider the will of the people.” Is the immigration plan for their people to move to our world? Those three armies had been full of mettle back then. The fact that he was able to defeat them one by one was quite lucky. Because of them, Chuyan, Honglei, and the others had almost lost their lives as a result… “There are now more and more people who are unhappy with the Monster Lord, which is how I managed to contact so many people in private. As long as we bring back the lord, we’ll be able to set everything right!” As he spoke, Mojard seemed really excited. “Who else is there?” Zu An asked. Mojard gave him a guarded look. “I cannot tell you about such things.” “Are you worried that I’ll tell on you?” Zu An chuckled. “It’s not a matter of trust, but rather that I hold the responsibility of everyone’s safety.” Mojard harrumphed. “I won’t sell you out either, if other people try to find out the same information. This is why everyone is willing to work with me.” Zu An gave him a thumbs up. “Good!” Mojard was about to say something when he frowned slightly. He heard a certain voice somewhere, and a while later, he said, “Our first miss wants to meet with you.” “First miss?” Zu An was stunned. He'd never expected there to be another person involved. “Hmph, it’s your honor that the first miss is willing to meet with you. Follow me.” Mojard turned around after speaking. Zu An was a bit hesitant. He couldn't really figure the other party out, and he had even less information on this first miss. But he knew that what he lacked the most right now was intelligence. If he missed this chance, there wouldn't necessarily be a next one. Thus, he secretly informed the women inside before leaving. When she saw Zu An and Mojard disappear, Ji Xiaoxi asked worriedly, “Will big brother Zu be in danger if he goes?” Pei Mianman’s expression became strange. “If it was just that Mojard, maybe, but if it’s their first miss, then it should be fine.” “Why?” Ji Xiaoxi blinked in confusion. “Hmph, that guy is the natural bane of women. No woman would be able to bear harming him.” Pei Mianman harrumphed with a red face. The other women nodded in deep sympathy. They recalled the various experiences they had gone through. … Meanwhile, Zu An followed Mojard through all sorts of detours across a mountain peak. They finally stopped at a quiet and secluded place. Mojard gave him a deep look and said, “Donaire, your strength seems to have improved since we last met.” Zu An was inwardly shocked, but he didn’t show it. “I gained some benefits from that world.” Mojard didn’t doubt him, and only had a yearning look on his face. He wanted to go to that world and take a look too. However, he quickly snapped out of his daze and warned, “The first miss is waiting in the forest ahead. You absolutely cannot offend her, or else even I can’t save you!” “But of course.” Zu An could sense his apprehension. Is that first miss’ strength even greater than Mojard’s? After Mojard pointed out the way, he remained outside. This was the True Demon race’s territory, so he had to stop any other monsters from going further. … Zu An followed the road into the forest. He saw a figure sitting there; it was precisely the first miss Mojard had spoken of. However, when he saw the other party, his expression suddenly became really strange.
