Fang Yu rescues Zuo Lv and Hei Ao, revealing he is now a distinguished guest of the Bo Family and has reached the Heart Soul Realm. Zuo Lv begins her recovery, while Hei Ao is shocked by Fang Yu's rapid increase in strength. Hei Ao reveals his burning desire for revenge against the demons who destroyed Tianyuan Town and his family, and proposes an alliance with Fang Yu and the Absolute Sect to achieve this goal. Fang Yu expresses concern that the Absolute Sect is manipulating Hei Ao, but agrees to help them once Hei Ao calms down and considers the consequences of his actions.

Fang Yu was a bit dazed, even wanting to slap himself.

Truly speaking the unspeakable.

Originally, he just wanted Hei Ao to cherish his life and leave a legacy for the Hei Family, yet he forgot about this moment.

Feeling awkward for a moment, Fang Yu quickly changed the subject.

"How long have you been in the Capital? Don’t worry, when it comes to revenge, I’ll definitely have a share in it!"

In fact, Fang Yu didn’t care about the life or death of those demons in the Demon Capital; he was indifferent to Lan Yuhe’s life, the future of the Demon Capital.

What he truly cared about was the Green Demon, nothing else mattered.

Therefore, if the Absolute Sect had means to truly annihilate the Demon Capital, he wouldn’t mind participating in it and rescuing the Green Demon.

Hearing Fang Yu’s firm reply, Hei Ao’s mood slightly calmed, but he continued to speak with some excitement.

"Zuo Lv and I have both become confidants under a senior member of the Absolute Sect. This high-ranking member’s teacher died at the hands of Demon Emperor Lan Yuhe, so she shares the same objective with us."

"Moreover, it’s she who initiated this gathering of a large number of Absolute Sect members in the Capital. The Absolute Sect internally supports the cause strongly."

"From what we know, she intends to establish connections with high-ranking court officials. Most of our operations here are launched under her direct orders."

"Although we don’t know the progress of her negotiations with the court officials yet, if everything goes smoothly... we will have the chance to witness Absolute Sect collaborating with the Capital, sending their strongest force south to annihilate the entire Demon Capital!"

When Hei Ao said this, whether due to the influence of his injuries or his emotional excitement, his body slightly trembled.

His expression seemed to see the picture of the Demon Capital engulfed in smoke and flames, uncontrollably emotive.

Fang Yu could understand Hei Ao’s feelings, that sense of revenge, but from his perspective, in any case, Absolute Sect was just using them as cannon fodder.

Moreover, with their capabilities, they were not qualified for the Absolute Sect to heavily use them.

The pursuers who came this time were an example; if Fang Yu arrived a bit later, Hei Ao and Zuo Lv would be gone, treated completely as cannon fodder, yet the two of them seemed brainwashed by Absolute Sect, rushing into any dirty work.

The demons in the Capital, even Fang Yu did not dare to kill randomly, let alone Hei Ao and Zuo Lv.

After Fang Yu killed a demon in the Capital, he still had a chance to protect himself, backed by Yan Wenxi’s connections with some room for maneuvering. But the two of them were strangers here without any background, easily killed by powerful forces with just a finger, without even the chance to claim grievances or defend.

Fang Yu patted Hei Ao’s shoulder, soothing his emotions.

"I have roughly understood the situation now. Don’t worry, once your injuries heal, I’ll accompany you to meet with that Absolute Sect senior member. If they are truly not playing tricks, I will not only support your actions but provide the greatest convenience to assist you and Absolute Sect in promoting cooperation with the court!"

"Good, good, good! Ever since we parted ways in Tianyuan Town, the three of us can reunite and join forces again! Thinking back to those times, the three of us were..."

Hei Ao was initially delighted, then he immediately reacted.

"...Wait! You can lend us a hand? Could it be you have connections with the court officials?"

Fang Yu smiled faintly.

"That’s hard to say, but there is such a possibility."

Yes, it’s just a possibility.

Because even Fang Yu himself wasn’t sure if Yan Wenxi’s connections would be effective.

Though currently useful with the Bo family, Bo family’s network was not complicated, and they held little influence, unable to even step through the gates of the court, their status not on the same level as those present.

At that level, when tangled in the court’s network, some things can’t be settled merely by favor.

Betrayal and being betrayed are common occurrences, Yan Wenxi’s connections in such places being able to retain any warmth is truly uncertain.

Since it’s an uncertain matter, Fang Yu naturally wasn’t going to explain it in detail to Hei Ao, once everything is clear, discussing it later is not too late.

After chatting with Hei Ao about their individual experiences post-separation, Fang Yu instructed Hei Ao to recover well here, assuring him not to think about safety issues, only then did he exit the room.

As he closed the door properly, the smile that usually graced Fang Yu’s lips slowly subsided.

"Senior Diao."

Bo Fu was waiting outside, of course not daring to eavesdrop, merely waiting respectfully.

"Have you found out the origins of those people? Also, the women from Hundred Mischief Lane I mentioned, like Zhuge Shi, why were they there as well?"

Fang Yu used a token to obtain the help from the Bo family, his greatest need being to use the local family power in the Capital to gather intelligence.

So at this time, it was necessary for the Bo family’s intelligence capabilities to truly play their role.

This certainly was not within Bo Fu’s capacity to manage and control.

However, he was only a messenger, the real person handling these matters was Bo Changquan. Only with the Bo Family Patriarch hosting personally could the entire Bo family’s resources be utilized to the extreme, only then could any clues be found in such a short time.

"Senior Diao, after you left the compound, we swiftly sent people back there, but unfortunately, the scene had already been dealt with, and the corpses of those people completely vanished. Currently, we are still searching for the whereabouts of the bodies, though it’s hard to say if it will yield any results. Especially in a place like the Capital, disappearing people are countless every day, let alone mere corpses."
