The two women were treated very differently from Duanmu Yan.
Wu Gang could only watch enviously, too embarrassed to speak up.
Not only did they fail to defeat the Netherworld Demon, but their summoning device was also stolen.
After sealing the gene code, Li Haotian rushed back to the store and saw the four people eating at the table as soon as he entered.
A table laden with food: beef, lobster, crab, abalone...
The lavish meal made his mouth water; was this what a teppanyaki restaurant should have?
Seeing Li Haotian standing hesitantly at the door, she waved to him and said with a smile, "Come and eat with us!"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Haotian walked over and sat down next to Duanmu Yan.
He looked him up and down and nodded in satisfaction.
"You are the one who summoned the Xingtian Armor, aren't you?"
Welcome pursed her lips. "Could I see the summoner?"
Li Haotian was silent for a moment, then took out a summoner from his bag.
"This summoning device." The two said in unison.
Welcome gave an awkward laugh. "Go ahead and say it."
Li Haotian nodded and recalled.
"I saw this summoning device a long time ago."
"Back then, it also appeared miraculously, and an old woman even found me."
Welcome! She poured him a cup of coffee and placed it in front of him. "How old were you back then?"
“Five years old,” Li Haotian replied. “Later, that old woman had me put my handprint on her fingerprint.”
"Five years old? That can't be right..." Huan Ying asked doubtfully, "The appearance of the Netherworld Demon is a recent event."
"Could it be my great-grandmother? How strange..." she thought to herself.
"Oops, sorry to interrupt you, and then?" she asked again.
Li Haotian replied calmly, "Then I threw the summoner into the sea."
"Waaah—"
Duanmu Yan had just taken a sip of coffee when she heard this and almost spat it out.
He stared wide-eyed at Li Haotian, "No way, buddy, you threw the summoner into the sea???"
Welcome was also quite surprised, "Just throw it into the sea like that?"
Li Haotian nodded, as if it were a perfectly normal thing to happen.
"Xiao Tian, these things were a secret before."
"But now, a crisis is imminent, as you have seen with me and the other armor summoners."
"Therefore, you should also have the responsibility to make this matter clear."
Welcome! Her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she looked at Li Haotian.
Li Haotian took a breath and slowly said, "Actually, that old woman already told me how to summon armor to combine and fight."
"I also know what the mission of your esoteric sect is."
"Or rather... I know more than you do."
"You have no idea what the Netherworld Demons' true purpose is, and you're just blindly fighting, which is tantamount to falling into their trap."
"A trap?" Huan Ying exclaimed in surprise. "Including Duanmu's, we've already wiped out more than half of the Netherworld Demons. I don't understand why it's a trap? Explain yourself."
Li Haotian sighed, "Alright, listen carefully."
Welcome and Duanmu Yan and the others sat up straight and listened attentively to what Li Haotian had to say.
“The demons of the underworld are divided into three categories: the greedy underworld, the angry underworld, and the infatuated underworld.”
"Those who rob everywhere are the greedy underworld demons burdened with the original sin of greed."
"And the reason for setting fires everywhere is because of those angry and sinful demons in the underworld."
"Those who lure others out to drink themselves into a coma, and then poison them, feigning madness and being able to transform into human form, are the Demons of the Netherworld."
Welcome to nod thoughtfully, "I see."
“Aren’t greed, anger, and ignorance the origin of all evil?” she asked.
“They are organized,” Li Haotian said, frowning. “Like a highly disciplined military unit.”
"Each team has eight members, one captain and seven team members."
"These twenty-four Netherworld Demons each possess their own unique and evil abilities."
A sense of confusion arose in my heart.
There are only twenty-three in the tower.
She suddenly realized, "Oh right, there's one more!"
“I know.” Li Haotian nodded and said, “This is what I’m going to talk about now, their leader.”
"This leader is very powerful. One of your tasks is to find the Asura Armor, right?"
"Actually, he hid it."
Shura Armor?
Upon hearing the name of the armor, Duanmu Yan suddenly felt a strange sensation.
"Oh my god!" Welcome exclaimed in surprise.
"He hid inside a piece of clothing in a very special way."
"He has always wanted to be resurrected, but for him to be resurrected, he needs a great deal of evil energy."
"So the Netherworld Demons he awakened did not actually intend to fight us."
"Instead, they harm others and absorb more evil energy to resurrect their general."
"However..." he hesitated, then stopped himself.
"But what?" Welcome asked eagerly.
"Even that old woman doesn't seem to know her true purpose after being resurrected."
"My God." Welcome covered her mouth with her hand. "But whatever the ultimate goal, this method is too cunning!"
"I always thought they were just here to cause trouble," Welcome said indignantly.
"For every evil deed these Netherworld Demons do, or every person they harm, their leader will absorb energy."
"Furthermore, each suit of armor actually has its own set of combat data, including attack and defense moves, sure-win techniques, and sure-kill spells."
"The mastermind behind this has actually been using the battles between the Netherworld Demon and the Armor Team to obtain combat data on the Armor Summoners and the Armor itself."
"I think he wants to wait until he is resurrected so that he can personally come out and destroy the armor."
Li Haotian's mouth was dry after saying so much. He took a sip of coffee and said, "I've said everything I wanted to say."
Welcome smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me so much. I heard from Duanmu that you're still looking for a place to live, right? I think you should move in with us tonight."
"Anyway, we all know each other, so it's easy to look out for each other and stay in touch."
"We also need to study new combat strategies to deal with the enemy."
Li Haotian thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Alright, I will pay you the rent in full."
"What I want to say is that although we are in the same camp, what I hope for is a pleasant cooperation."
"Instead of adding to each other's burdens."
"Wait a minute—" Welcome interrupted, "You mean you came here to tell me you're not joining us?"
Li Haotian stood up and said, "I fight only for myself."
Duanmu Yan admired him in her heart, for he was also fighting for himself.
He stood up and said with a smile, "Xiao Tian, live according to your own ideas. Don't let other people's words and actions sway you. Keep it up!"
"Leave the Netherworld Demons to us. Under my watchful eye, they won't be able to do a single bad thing, nor will they be able to harm a single one of them!"
"Collecting evil energy to resurrect? They're dreaming!"
Duanmu Yan smiled confidently, saying that with the strength of these Netherworld Demons, it was even more impossible for them to harm him.
After saying goodbye to the others, Li Haotian turned to leave, but then suddenly remembered something and turned back to Duanmu Yan.
"By the way, Duanmu, when I went to the place where you just fought, I saw something burning. There were no flammable materials around, and I was in a hurry to come back to help, so I didn't put it out."
"That thing isn't yours, is it?"
Duanmu Yan waved her hand dismissively and said, "Oh dear, what could I possibly have? Go back to sleep, it's getting late."
After saying goodbye to Li Haotian, Duanmu Yan returned to her seat.
As soon as he sat down, he suddenly stood up again, almost overturning the table.
"Oh no! My car!"
Chapter 22 Qing Zizai makes his debut!
"Hahahahahaha!"
"You didn't expect that, did you, Duanmu Yan? This is our real purpose! Hahahaha!"
Lufa sat in a rocking chair, laughing maniacally, his face contorted into a ball of flesh.
Balu, Bakuru, Sharman, and the others were also laughing so hard their faces were unrecognizable, and they looked extremely ferocious.
Especially Balu, who patted Bakuru on the shoulder and laughed: "Good lad, as expected of someone whose name is most similar to mine, you ruined Nava's car. He's going to be furious now."
"Bakuru, well done!" Lufa laughed. "This attack yielded a lot of resurrection energy and combat data."
Lufa clenched his fist. "Cook and the others' sacrifice was worth it!"
