If you can get the other person's name from Indra, you'll have a high chance of identifying the mastermind.

White Demon's idea was good, but reality was not so simple.

"How am I supposed to know what you're up to if you don't give me a reason?"

Indra asked this question in return, and then added a sentence.

"Of course, even if you give me your reasons, I can't tell you. Not to mention that just mentioning those names will trigger a response, the key point is that you can't just casually inquire about the affairs of important people!"

Upon hearing this, the canary's eyes flashed.

She realized that Indra was not only refusing, but also giving a hint.

In the world of the Little Garden, only a handful of people with full authority can be called great figures by Indra. There are only seventeen people with full authority in the entire Little Garden.

Those who feel a response upon hearing a name are most likely divine beings.

There are very few deities with full authority in the Little Garden, and most of them have never appeared in their complete spirit form, further narrowing down the pool of potential candidates.

I just don't know why White Demon suddenly paid attention to this.

Thinking of this, the canary looked wistfully at the white demon.

At this moment.

"Really, we can't reveal anything?"

White Yaksha asked unwillingly.

She hadn't yet grasped the deeper meaning of Indra's answer, so she wanted to try harder.

"Is it because there are other people around? Can you tell me if Lucius has left?"

After thinking for a moment, she turned her attention to the only outsider in the area who was not trustworthy.

Upon hearing this, Lucius not only didn't dare to be angry, but instead showed a relieved expression.

"Lady White Demon is right! Since this concerns the Heavenly Army, it is not something I can get involved in. Please forgive me for taking my leave immediately! Don't worry, I'm very discreet and will not say anything out of turn!"

Sensing danger, he didn't wait for their consent before bowing, opening the door, and running away in one swift motion.

This incident is too complicated for him to handle.

After Lucius left, White Yaksha stared intently at Indra, clearly wanting an answer.

"Stop glaring. Even if you glare until you go blind, I can't say anything. Unlike a convict like you, I'm a permanent employee."

Indra shook his head, his attitude very firm.

After being refused, he asked curiously.

"So, who exactly is this Demon King? Why are you all being so mysterious? Is there some inside story?"

Clearly, even as a henchman, he didn't know much.

"You'll have to ask Lord White Demon!"

The canary also showed an interested expression, putting psychological pressure on the white demon...

"Lady White Demon seems to be paying special attention to this Demon King. Doesn't Lady White Demon want to say something?"

Upon hearing this, Shiroyasha was startled, realizing that her attitude had been overly concerned.

But it doesn't matter, since the people in front of me are all friends, as long as I keep my mouth shut, I won't give myself away.

So, she looked away and said somewhat guiltily.

"No, no! He's just a mere demon king, why should we care? We're just acting out of a sense of justice, wanting to punish him as the rulers of the hierarchy!"

It has to be said that she learned a lot from her experience as a store manager, such as how to lie through her teeth.

Unfortunately, this trick was ineffective against the shrewd canary.

"If Lady White Demon continues to be so stubborn, even if she wanted to help us, there's nothing she can do!"

The canary used a combination of coercion and enticement, then casually probed further.

"Speaking of which, demon lords among the Celtic pantheons are indeed rare. I just heard that Lord White Yaksha visited the Queen yesterday. I wonder if Lord White Yaksha's involvement in this matter has much to do with the Queen—"

Before he could finish his probing words, he was interrupted by the White Demon.

"No, no! The matter we're investigating has nothing to do with that woman!"

Seeing the slightly nervous tone and stiff movements of the White Yaksha, Canary and Indra exchanged a glance and understood what was going on.

After a moment of realization, both of them looked somewhat surprised.

They all knew about the conflict between the Halloween Queen and the White Demon; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they were sworn enemies.

But now, the White Demon is actually taking the initiative to participate in an investigation related to the Halloween Queen?

This is truly like the sun rising in the west!

No, that's not right!

Even if the sun rises in the west, these two enemies cannot easily cooperate; there must be something they are unaware of.

Either an event occurs that would allow the two to put their conflict aside, or someone appears that would suppress their conflict.

I don't know which situation is right now; maybe it's a combination of both.

As for what the White Yaksha was hiding, and the possible identity of that Demon King—

Suspected 5.6: Dragon species, demon king, Celtic pantheon... In the Celtic pantheon, where the main conflict is between the Aesir and the deep sea giants, dragons do not occupy a large share, and there are not many demon kings involving dragons.

Among them, very few could attract the attention of both the upper echelons of the gods and the White Yaksha.

Based on the White Yaksha's previous reactions, if this demon king's true identity isn't the White Dragon Voodoo, then it can only be—

"—?!"

Suddenly, the canary's eyes widened.

Her pupils contracted sharply, as if she had thought of a mystery that had been weighing on her mind for a long time.

If it really is related to that incident, then the attitude of the gods seems to make sense.

The only questionable aspect is White Demon's attitude. Given her personality and intelligence, she shouldn't have noticed this, nor would she have offered to help.

Given the Queen's pride, she would not ask this arch-enemy for help.

Based on this, there must be a third person behind the two of them.

That must have been the work of a strong leader who acted unilaterally and directly suppressed the conflict between the two troubled children, thus orchestrating the scene before us.

With the wisdom of the person behind the scenes, he would surely be able to discern the truth from the reactions of the gods.

In fact, the other party may have already anticipated his reaction.

Chapter 228: Internal Strife within Buddhism, the Haotian Mirror, and the Peng Demon King Incident

Realizing this, the canary did not press the matter further, but instead smiled and changed the subject as if she knew nothing.

"If Lord White Yaksha doesn't want to talk about it, then so be it. Actually, even if you tell the truth, it won't make a difference. After all, just as Indra said, this useless god can't help at all, and he's afraid of losing his job."

As she said this, the canary looked at Indra.

"Speaking of which, since the Heavenly Army intends to take over, have you thought about how to deal with that demon king? He left after attacking Perseus, taking only the Gorgon's gift with him. If this demon king doesn't make another move, no one will know where he is."

Upon hearing this, Indra shook his head.

"It's alright. The higher-ups have been very generous this time, specially renting the Haotian Mirror of the Eastern pantheon for one-time use. Once I descend to earth as a human, I only need to apply to confirm the Demon King's location, and then I can lead the heavenly army directly to attack."

"The Haotian Mirror?"

Upon hearing this, the canary was momentarily stunned.

It's not that I'm surprised by the effectiveness of this magical artifact; the idea that most treasures from Eastern mythology are found in the Little Garden is a stereotype.

She was surprised because she had heard about the function and conditions for using this magical artifact.

"The Haotian Mirror can see everything. In addition to patrolling the Three Realms, if you want to know the location of others, you must at least determine their identity and spiritual status."

Since the upper echelons of the gods can use these 23 treasures, it fully demonstrates that they are well aware of the identity of this Demon King.

"Don't look at me like that. Anyway, the intelligence I receive doesn't include the enemy's identity."

Indra shrugged, indicating that he knew nothing.

At this point, the truth is quite clear.

The gods were deliberately concealing something; while quelling the demon king incident, they were also very careful not to be traced back to themselves.

Finding the mastermind behind the scenes is no easy task.

"...Speaking of which, since you've already been provided with the means to find the Demon King, what are you doing here?"

The canary pondered this question and asked in confusion.

"I initially thought you were here to gather intelligence, but given the current situation, our intelligence probably won't be of any use, right?"

Upon hearing this, Indra slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering something.

"I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it. I didn't come here to find information, of course. I came to ask for your help!"

"help?"

Upon hearing this, both White Demon and Canary showed expressions of curiosity.

"What do you need our help with? Or rather, besides the mission to the Gods, do you actually have something important to do?"

The canary asked, slightly surprised.

Seeing her genuinely surprised expression, Di Shitian felt a little annoyed.

"What do you mean? What do you mean I actually have important business to do? What do you think my job as a Dharma Protector for twelve days is?"

"Drinking, fighting, and womanizing?"

The canary retorted without holding back.

This is why she looks down on Di Shitian; he indulges in all sorts of vices, including wine, women, wealth, and power.

Despite being a god, he has perfectly mastered human weaknesses.
