Chapter 252: The Attack

Chapter 252: The Attack

The demons fell into deep contemplation. The information they had just received was overwhelming and entirely unexpected.

They shared Wen Ying’s perspective on angels, imagining them to be righteous beings. It never crossed their minds that an angel would initiate a war between two realms just to gain the freedom to roam the human world.

It was truly ironic, considering that the same angel had played a crucial role in ending that very war.

While they were digesting this, Wen Ying said, "Our overall plan needs some adjustment. That angel's objective isn't too far off from our ultimate goal, which is also to have demons enter the human realm."

Muershi rolled his eyes. "We can exploit this situation to portray ourselves as victims and seize the moral high ground. Let me think about it..."

Muershi's mind raced. He instinctively sensed that this was an opportunity he could exploit to great effect.

Having absorbed the news, Lan Jiaying took out her phone. "Let's report this to the Demon King first."

As everyone watched Lan Jiaying make the call, she relayed the incident to the Demon King.

Wen Ying pricked up his ears, focusing all his attention on the conversation between Lan Jiaying and the Demon King. This would help him gauge just how much the Demon King knew.

The Devil seemed oblivious to the angel's scheme, which was quite surprising. After some thought, he instructed them to proceed with their original plan, continuing to gain favor with humans while refraining from unnecessary actions until his next order.

Wen Ying was filled with doubts, but the more he pondered, the more tangled his thoughts became. Eventually, he decided to put it aside for now.

In front of absolute power, all conspiracies were mere paper tigers. Once he assimilated the angel's power and officially became the second-generation angel, Wen Ying resolved to give both the Devil and the war-provoking angel a sound beating.

The envisioned future was extremely promising.

Wen Ying's delightful mood was interrupted by a phone call from Wen Dingjue.

Just as the demons had finished their discussion and emerged from the makeshift container house created by magic, Wen Ying heard his phone ring. It was a call from the other SIM card in his possession. He quickly informed the surrounding demons, "I'll be back in a moment, I need to use the restroom."

Upon hearing "restroom," Muershi's eyes narrowed slightly, suspicion stirring within him. Did Wen Ying not want them to overhear the contents of the call?

Wen Ying hurriedly made his way to the restroom.

Following the cruise ship incident, Wen Ying's original form, who had been masquerading as an ordinary person in Mu City, had left for Nandu City's harbor. Since the mirror image had vanished, it had always been his true self here.

To avoid potential signal issues when the phone was kept in a spatial magic tool, Wen Ying had recently transferred the SIM card of that phone into the dual-SIM demonic phone that Wen Ying used.

The caller was Wen Dingjue.

Wen Ying skillfully closed the toilet stall door and activated an audio barrier before calling Wen Dingjue back.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?"

Wen Dingjue's voice was anxious and flustered. "I think I've been discovered!"

Wen Ying felt a chill run down his spine. He urgently asked, "Discovered for what?" Wen Dingjue should be abroad. Had he been found out by the extremist group or a foreign government?

The wind noise on Wen Dingjue's end was loud, making his voice barely audible. It sounded as if he was moving swiftly in a heavy rainstorm.

"The extremists! They've found me, and I don't know if they'll uncover more about my identity," Wen Dingjue said, panicked. "You need to get your subordinates to protect your mother and the others immediately."

Wen Ying's eyelids twitched wildly. "Grandfather, can you give me the details of this situation?"

"I was about to return home, but the flight I was on had to make an emergency landing at Asfara Airport due to the weather. Just as I was preparing to transfer, the airport was suddenly attacked by extremist demons. I took a car to another airport, but on the way, I was stopped and robbed by more extremist demons. They didn't just want to rob us; they wanted to kill us too, and that's when I was exposed."

"I didn't engage them directly, but my speed in dodging their attacks and fleeing was too fast. They'll definitely be suspicious," Wen Dingjue fretted. "If only I hadn't taken that flight. You need to get those demons from the Judgement Bureau to protect Qinxue and the others. And take care of yourself as well..."

Wen Dingjue rapidly rattled off a string of words, leaving no room for Wen Ying to interject.

"This can't be a coincidence," Wen Ying frowned. "Grandfather, where are you right now?"

"I'm still on the run. I just managed to shake off that group of demons."

Wen Ying pinched the bridge of his nose. It was likely that the Church, having found nothing at the ruins, had decided to approach the matter from another angle. However, this also indicated how eager the Church was for the angel's inheritance.

The extremist group that Wen Dingjue encountered in Asapha was probably arranged by the Church to test him.

Those people were ruthless. If Wen Dingjue was an ordinary person, he would have been killed. If not, his identity would have been exposed.

A sharp glint flashed in Wen Ying's eyes. He spoke calmly over the phone to reassure the anxious Wen Dingjue, "Grandfather, the extremists in the country wouldn't dare to act recklessly. Return home first, and I'll take care of things here. Send me your location, and I'll contact the local demonic court to assist you. It's most important to return to the country now. You shouldn't fly within Asapha anymore."

Wen Dingjue agreed, "Alright, and please tell them that we can handle ourselves. Your mother and the others are all ordinary people, so I'm worried about them."
