Chapter 623B – God Hunters’ Huntmaster

Wu Dongliu cupped his hands together, “Demon Sovereign need not worry. It was I who didn’t consider things well enough beforehand, so please consider this an apology.”

Qin Yu asked, “Huntmaster is willing to give him up?”

Wu Dongliu shook his head, “To speak disrespectfully, if the one who came today wasn’t the Demon Sovereign then perhaps I might have personally tried to make you stay behind. But with your status I am doomed to only be able to bow my head. If so, why entangle myself further?

“To exchange the death of a single person for the continued stability of the God Hunters organization, I think that even if that Hunchback learns of this, he will still forgive me.”

The information in the jade slip was exactly what Qin Yu was looking for – information related to the third of the four old monsters – Hunchback. He was actually a part of the God Hunters and held a high position. But at this time, he had been cleanly sold out by Wu Dongliu.

Qin Yu looked at the calm and confident Wu Dongliu and gave him the label of a ‘true villain’. Still, looking at things from the angle of the entire God Hunters organization, the decision he made was undoubtedly the best possible one.

“If so, then I’ll be impolite and accept this favor.”

Wu Dongliu smiled. “To help Your Majesty the Demon Sovereign with a favor is an honor of mine. But…”

Qin Yu said, “I understand. I won’t make things difficult for Huntmaster. I will kill this person on my own.”

Wu Dongliu stood up, “Three days from now, outside Cloud Creek Valley.”

Qin Yu nodded. With a flick of his sleeves the barrier covering the hall dispersed. He grasped You Qi’s hand and vanished with a single step.

The smile on Wu Dongliu’s face disappeared. He coldly looked down, a chill lingering around him.

“Huntmaster, we have already verified that the Demon Sovereign has been injured. This is the best time for us to complete our contract, so why didn’t you attack him?”

On the surface of a stone pillar in the hall, a person’s face slowly wriggled into being. Although it was blurry, one could still sense the unhappiness there.

Wu Dongliu coldly sneered. “You think I didn’t want to? The aura coming from him is terrifying. Even if you and I attacked together, we might not have succeeded.”

The blurry face frowned. “I don’t believe that. What aura could possibly make you feel such dread?”

“Godfire!”

Wu Dongliu lowered his voice and roared.

The stone pillar’s face fell silent. Its eyes had widened in shock and disbelief.

Wu Dongliu wouldn’t lie about something like this. But looking at the entire Land of Divinity and Demons, a genuine Great Dao boundary had yet to appear. So how could a person possibly ignite their Godfire?

Wu Dongliu took a deep breath, calming himself. “Don’t ask me. Even I don’t know what is happening!”

No wonder those two old bastards Speechless and Wei Zongyuan had been successively defeated by this severely injured Demon Sovereign. The Demon Sovereign had unexpectedly ignited his Godfire.

Even if the Demon Sovereign was only able to maintain this state for an extremely short period, just one or two breaths of time, the strength he possessed during the brief moment would be enough to sweep away anyone in the world.

Betraying Hunchback was a final chess move he had prepared. The most important reason he tossed it out without hesitation was because of the aura of Godfire coming from Qin Yu.

But another reason was because Wu Dongliu wanted to investigate just how Qin Yu had ignited his Godfire ahead of time.

Three days from now, the battle at Cloud Creek Valley would be his best chance to find out!

Outside Aspiration City, Qin Yu and You Qi peacefully walked forward. Countless eyes looked their way, their stares filled with awe and hidden fear.

As people that lived in the shadows and survived through killing and looting, they naturally had their own information channels.

Although they had no idea what had happened within the City Lord Mansion, just Wu Dongliu personally coming out to welcome them inside the mansion was more than enough to frighten and deter everyone here.

You Qi hesitated for a moment. Then she said in a soft voice, “Your Majesty, I keep thinking that this Huntmaster is harboring evil intentions beneath that fake smile of this.”

Qin Yu smiled. “Your intuition isn’t wrong. In that hall just now, besides you, me, and Wu Dongliu, there should have been one more person.” He narrowed his eyes and continued to say, “That person’s aura was extremely formidable and hostile. They were constantly locked onto us.”

You Qi’s eyes widened. She didn’t think there was such a great danger hidden in that seemingly peaceful meeting.

Qin Yu rubbed her back. “Don’t worry. I still have some traces of the Godfire’s aura lingering about me that has yet to fade away. Although it doesn’t have any strength to it, using it to frighten others isn’t a problem.”

You Qi bit her lips. “But three days from now…”

Qin Yu said, “Don’t worry. I won’t give them a chance to take advantage of me while
