Chapter 1412 - 54: The Beginning of Chaos (Part 1)

After eating and drinking, the three changed their appearances again and wandered around the most bustling commercial street in the inner city zone of Yanjing.

Along the way, Tang Haofei and Wen Yu didn’t communicate much, both seemingly pondering the implications of their recent conversation, until the sunset, when the three finally returned to the mansion.

In front of Tang Haofei’s mansion, Wen Yu and Tang Haofei bid farewell. They shared a simple hug, as if symbolizing an end to everything that had once been.

Watching Tang Haofei enter the courtyard, Wen Yu then turned around and returned to his own residence.

As Wen Yu lay on his bed, recalling everything that happened today, he pondered the meaning of Tang Haofei’s last words. After a moment, he let out a bitter laugh.

He’s truly back...

Yet because of this, things became the most unsolvable for Wen Yu...

...

With his head spinning, as the dizziness gradually faded, Legas finally saw the surroundings clearly.

A noisy district...

Familiar smell, familiar scenery, familiar buildings, even familiar people!

"Damn it!"

The moment Legas woke up, he immediately cursed aloud.

Not for anything else, but because he knew that he had been tricked by Wen Yu again!

"Lord Legas? Lord Legas! It’s really you!"

The "familiar person," upon seeing Legas’s figure, immediately shouted loudly. The voice was sharp and piercing, seemingly filled with joy at first, but upon closer inspection, it revealed a hint of schadenfreude.

Legas was left speechless. However, the one who spoke was not afraid of Legas at all; instead, he quickly strode forward, approaching Legas’s side.

"My lord, why have you returned again?"

Legas mumbled unhappily, and after a moment, squeezed out a reply.

"Because this damn place is still my territory!"

...

Modusa City, the core area of Legas’s influence, the largest city.

Of course, this was in the past. Well, technically not even past, since from the occurrence of Legas’s predicament to now, it hasn’t even been a day, and the decision from above has yet to be made. In other words, this place indeed still belongs to Legas.

Moreover, the replacement for Legas as the substitute in the Topmost 7-Member Council of the Demon Army is still under discussion—describing Legas as the "former Highest Commander of the Demon Army" is indeed inappropriate.

Legas’s anger towards Wen Yu did not stem from this. It was because of the guy babbling in front of him.

Philip...

Legas’s top general! A Level 11 powerful expert, though a weak one, is still Level 11 nonetheless. And it had to be said, Philip was the only Level 11 expert under Legas’s command.

But unfortunately, Philip was a gift...

After becoming the Highest Commander of the Demon Army, Philip was a gift from Philip to Legas...

Thus, the implications within are clear—Philip, in name, was a lackey of Legas, but in reality, he was just an overseer placed by Philip at Legas’s side.

He was not loyal to Legas; his loyalty lay with Philip...

"My lord, I thought something happened to you... Oh, I heard you were being chased by the Black River Sovereign, so, you managed to escape? Tsk tsk, this is no small matter..."

As Philip spoke, he openly took out a communication device and sent a message to Philip, far away on the horizon.

Legas has returned, the whereabouts of the Black River Sovereign are unknown...

Legas just watched Philip’s performance, his face stern, unable to utter a single word—Legas’s original plan, after Wen Yu released him, was to immediately run and hide in the Desolate Border. With his strength, there was no place in the Demon Realm he couldn’t go.

As for Wen Yu killing his entire family, and all that nonsense involving Demon Spirits... Legas really didn’t want to care, nor could he manage it, but after emerging, ending up right under Philip’s nose changed the flavor of many things.

Escape?

Without Origin Energy, he truly might not be able to fight Philip.

As for staying...

Hmm...

Wen Yu was forcing him to stay!

And Legas quickly and decisively made a choice.

He complied with Wen Yu’s arrangement...

In fact, once Legas openly appeared in Modusa City, a lot of things were no longer up to him—once his position was tracked, with the Demon Spirit’s means, Legas had no chance of escape. Moreover, with the Black River Sovereign’s disappearance, the Demon Spirit would inevitably capture Legas to find out the Sovereign’s current location.

But it’s a pity that Legas didn’t know the exact location of the Eternal Cage...

As for the outcome? A cripple is destined to die. Legas was not so naive as to believe that the Demon Spirit would spare him after capturing him.

But Wen Yu provided him with more options.

He had bargaining chips... people he could defect to... and the person he could defect to had the ability to withstand the Demon Spirit’s pursuit... What he needed to offer was the bargaining chip that Wen Yu gave him.

A cycle, and indeed Legas’s only choice at this point!

Therefore, Legas automatically filtered out Philip’s sarcastic comments. He looked into Philip’s eyes and quickly poured out his current situation.

"Something big has happened! I have secrets about the Demon Spirit. Yes, you tell my godfather to come here to protect me; the Demon Spirit wants to kill me."

A simple sentence, but it carried a lot of information, leaving Philip stupefied. He opened his mouth, just about to say something, only to find that Legas had already grabbed his collar.

"Hurry up!!!"

The furious tone made Philip involuntarily choose to comply. Until he dimly ended the communication, Legas’s second order followed closely behind.

"Immediately lock down the entire Modusa City. I’ll go to Room Number Three. When my godfather arrives, call me. Remember, except for my godfather, don’t tell anyone else about this."

After Legas finished speaking, he immediately hurried off to Room Number Three, leaving Philip scratching his head in place.

His intuition told him that Legas indeed had discovered something extraordinary...

...

As Legas entered the secret chamber, the entire defense array formation of Modusa City was immediately activated, vibrant lights enveloping the sky, while sealing off all entrances and exits of Modusa City.

Any observer could tell that something extraordinary was happening here...

And when Philip conveyed the news to Philip, he too was at a loss, but that didn’t hinder Philip’s actions.

He decided to personally make a trip.

The Demon Spirit, an object of Philip’s fear, had always seemed mysterious and elusive. Today, with Legas having information about the Demon Spirit, even if only a little, it was enough for Philip to personally make a trip.

However, he indeed was not the first to receive the news of Legas’s return...

When Legas appeared in Modusa City, in a certain magnificent hall somewhere in the Demon Realm, a figure flickered instantly, then vanished on the horizon.
