Chapter 313 The "God" Who Infiltrated the Dragon Capital: I Saw Through Everything

'

The candlelight flickered in the hall. Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow and calmly sized up the Bloodthirsty Overlord.

Although he had already guessed the other party's intentions, he remained calm and walked forward steadily, as if the other party were just a harmless wisp of air.

This dismissive attitude was more contemptuous than any tit-for-tat response, rendering Roy's accumulated momentum as if it had struck empty air.

Beneath this seemingly calm surface lies...

In the shadows of the most inconspicuous corner of the hall, a young girl dressed as a maid was secretly spying on Gu Yuan with her eyes lowered.

She rolled up the hem of her skirt with her fingers, then, as if realizing something, gently licked her red lips.

Her movements were incredibly fast, yet they carried a captivating allure and danger that seemed completely out of place with her status.

"Is it him? The guy who put Chronoa in danger—"

She thought to herself, her gaze sweeping over Gu Yuan's seemingly defenseless body. "I can't sense any surging magical energy, nor can I see any powerful physical strength—he's as calm as a deep pool."

"She is indeed very special—a sage? Or a saint? But now that I'm here, I will rescue Chronoa myself."

She is none other than Luminas Valentine, the "god" worshipped by millions of believers in the Holy Royal Kingdom, the progenitor of vampires, and one of the ten great demon kings.

Disguising herself as an inconspicuous maid is her usual tactic.

My thoughts drifted involuntarily to my imprisoned best friend.

How is Chronoa doing now? Is she injured? Is she able to eat and stay warm in that cold, dark labyrinth?

All sorts of worries were like a hundred kittens scratching at her heart, making her restless and wishing she could fly to the depths of the maze immediately.

Just then, a maid from Dragon City approached and bowed slightly, her manner polite yet undeniably authoritative: "Please come with me. The Demon Lords have important matters to discuss and cannot be disturbed."

Luminas immediately lowered her head, concealing all emotions in her eyes, and adopted a completely submissive demeanor, nodding slightly.

In the instant she turned around, a strange red light flashed in her eyes, and an invisible net of longing conveyed a clear command to her loyal followers: "Bury time at all costs and create an opportunity for me."

To prepare for the possibility of conflict with Milim, she even brought the mythical weapon [Night Rose].

Fortunately, according to intelligence, the destructive tyrant is currently causing havoc in Clayman's territory and has not yet returned, which is undoubtedly a golden opportunity.

Upon receiving the instruction, Roy stepped forward without making a sound, blocking Gu Yuan's path perfectly.

His voice was deep and magnetic, deliberately exuding a demon-king-level aura as he provocatively said, "Human, Milim isn't here. Do you have the right to make decisions for her?"

He deliberately emphasized the word "human" to establish a psychological advantage from the outset and to take control of the conversation.

The demonic power spread like a tangible force. Beside him, Kreman unconsciously swallowed, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

He felt like a small boat in the eye of a storm, with the wills of two beings silently squeezing the space, making even breathing difficult.

He tried to minimize his presence, wishing he could blend into the shadows of the corner.

At the same time, he prayed frantically that the conflict would not affect him, an innocent surrenderer.

Beneath this seemingly calm standoff, Gu Yuan's peripheral vision had already locked onto the maid in the corner of the hall, who was about to quietly retreat.

She lowered her head and looked meek, her posture respectful, just like the busy servants around her.

However, in the instant she turned around, her suddenly straightened back and the fleeting sharp light in her eyes did not escape Gu Yuanlong's eyes.

The data silently flashed before his eyes: [Individual Name: Luminas Valentine (Disguised State) - Status: High Alert, Intending to Infiltrate -]

"I couldn't hold back any longer."

Gu Yuan sneered inwardly.

Why would a "god" with such an extraordinary obsession with Chronoa only send his retinue?

but.

Although he had figured out the other party's identity, Gu Yuan did not immediately reveal it.

Taking action here would not only destroy Milim's newly rebuilt palace, but could also affect the still weak Ramiris.

He raised his hand and made a simple "calm down" gesture to Roy, who was trying to put pressure on him, before calling over Ramirez, who was already waiting beside him.

Gu Yuanchao whispered a few words of advice to her and then slipped a tiny communication device into her hand.

Ramiris understood, and her figure quietly disappeared in the dim light of spatial magic.

This scene caused Roy's pupils to shrink as he watched Gu Yuan's every move intently, and an ominous premonition began to grow in his heart.

"Where did this vanished labyrinth demon king go?"

This question continued to erode his confidence.

He forced himself to calm down, telling himself that the plan was still ongoing and that Lady Luminas needed time.

"Krehman".

Gu Yuan seemed to have just noticed him then, turning his gaze to the pale-faced Demon King. "I roughly understand why you've come, but before that—"

He turned his gaze to Roy, his expression radiating an all-knowing confidence. "Blood Overlord, state your purpose. I, of course, can make the decision."

He skipped all the pointless small talk and probing, firmly taking control of the pace.

With Milim absent, Gu Yuan, as her only close friend, naturally became the temporary head of Dragon City, without any questioning.

Roy Valentine suppressed his unease and made a demand that went straight to the heart of the matter:

He hoped that Gu Yuan could "transfer" the slaves that Milim had rescued from Kistan to them.

As he stated the request, deliberately emphasizing the burden on Dragon City, he carefully observed Gu Yuan's subtlest reactions, his core objective still being to buy time.

Everything is for Lady Luminas's great cause —

He was silent.

Despite being vampires, this branch no longer relies on blood for survival, but instead draws upon "the essence of happiness".

Therefore, their large population base is the cornerstone of their survival and prosperity.

However, when Kreman heard this request, his face immediately turned ashen.

Those slaves were the "resources" he painstakingly collected and spent countless resources to prepare for sacrifices and to attempt to awaken the Demon King!

Although the probability of success was slim, less than one in ten thousand, it was ultimately the only hope for his ambition.

But right now, under the invisible pressure from Gu Yuan, his strong will to survive overwhelmed everything, and he didn't dare to utter a sound of protest.

He could only swallow the endless bitterness back down his throat.

Gu Yuan seemed to be listening patiently, his fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the seat, making a rhythmic tapping sound, as if he was really weighing things carefully.

But most of his attention was focused on the rapidly moving figure in the maze, thanks to the faint signals from Ramiris.

Just as Roy was rambling on about how "Dragon City can't support that many slaves" and throwing out the bait of "being willing to pay three times the market price,"

Hey.

Gu Yuan's tapping on the armrest came to an abrupt halt.

He raised his eyes, his cold gaze directly interrupting Roy's lengthy statement: "The price is very attractive, but let the person who truly holds the reins behind you negotiate."

"For example—that uninvited guest disguised as a maid, who is currently trying to sneak into the deepest part of the labyrinth."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Roy's expression changed drastically, and he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. The demonic energy around him surged almost uncontrollably.

at the same time.

"what!"

A short, sharp cry came from the "Net of Longing".

"Bang!"

Roy could no longer maintain his composure. His violent magical energy erupted, and he smashed the hard jade table in front of him to pieces with a single palm strike, then abruptly stood up.

His bloodshot eyes glared at Gu Yuan, as if he wanted to devour him: "You!"

Anger, the panic of his plan being exposed, and a deeper fear crushed his reason at that moment.

He couldn't accept that his revered Lady Luminas had fallen into the other party's trap!

The instinct to protect its owner overwhelmed everything else.
