Chapter 243: Chapter 231: Unbearable Kindness! Secrets of the False God’s Kingdom, How Much Time Left? Biting the Bait (3/3)

Hearing Chu Feng utter the words "parents," Fika’s face turned the dead, ashen blue of ceding vitality, its entire being going limp.

It finally understood why Chu Feng had been so ruthlessly violent towards it and knew that there would be no good end for itself.

This was a vendetta for patricide and matricide, an irreconcilable enmity!

It was likely to die even more painfully than it could have imagined!

Suddenly it let out a piercing scream, "Kill me, just kill me! You despicable human, filthy vermin! Kill me aaaaah—"

Before its cry had ended, its eyes rolled back, its body shook uncontrollably, and it let out an unintelligible wailing.

"Shut up!"

Chu Feng once again launched the Spirit Slaying Sword, dealing its soul a fragmenting death blow.

After all, there was now someone knowledgeable to answer questions, so there was no need to show it even a second of mercy—

Allowing it to rest in peace was already an unbearable act of mercy for Chu Feng!

Li Dongjiang, however, seemed oblivious as his words overshadowed Fika’s wail, making Chu Feng’s eyes light up!

"Not necessarily now, but the longer the time passes, the less ideal it becomes."

"What do you mean?" Chu Feng asked urgently.

Li Dongjiang said, "Our Demon Annihilation Army is engaged in constant battles with the Demon Clan, often facing off against troops led by Demon Clan masters. That’s why we have a deep understanding of False Gods, and we’ve even infiltrated the Demon Realm to gather intelligence..."

"You can go to the Demon Realm? Isn’t there a barrier between the Monster Realm, Demon Realm, and Blue Star?" Chu Feng interjected with shock.

"Hmm, there are ways to smuggle ourselves in through certain methods, but of course, that’s a military secret. I shouldn’t discuss that."

Li Dongjiang seemed to inadvertently let something slip, then quickly shut his mouth and changed the subject, "You know about hell in Buddhist mythology, don’t you?

"From what we understand, the domain created within the so-called Fire-Worshipping God, a False God, carries some semblance to a scorching hell."

His tone turned somber, "That False God enjoys tormenting in endless flames, so He transformed His domain into a vast scorching world, where the strength of flesh and blood serves as fuel, and souls act as so-called divine followers.

"He lets these divine followers’ souls suffer in His domain, using flames that can incinerate souls to temper their willpower.

"Those who can’t endure turn to ashes, becoming nourishment that sustains the domain, while those who survive a certain number of years..."

Chu Feng was listening with red eyes, those bastards!

That damned Fire-Worshipping God, to actually torture his parents like this!

He couldn’t even begin to imagine the agony they must be enduring!

When Li Dongjiang’s sentence trailed off, Chu Feng became impatient, "How long does it take? Where do the successful ones go?"

Li Dongjiang sighed, "Time is unknown, whereabouts unknown; at least we don’t know. However, I imagine that the outcome isn’t good."

Chu Feng fell into silence, then after a while, he suddenly looked up and asked, "How long can one typically endure?"

"It depends on individual willpower!" Li Dongjiang answered succinctly, hiding nothing, "The weak might dissipate their consciousness in as little as two days, becoming pure soul energy.

"The strong might even last over five years, but in the end, they still die."

Chu Feng shuddered inwardly; both his parents were veterans of the Demon Extermination Army with willpower that should be sufficient, right?

Was there a possibility they could hold on until rescued?

Recalling Li Dongjiang’s seemingly unintentional slip, he suddenly asked, "How did you obtain this information?"

Catching the skepticism in Chu Feng’s tone, Li Dongjiang laughed, "The Fire-Worshipping God cannot come to this world in person.

"But he once fought a long-distance battle with the masters of our military, projecting a part of his domain’s power, which was shattered by our masters. They took the opportunity to rescue several of the Human Race souls that hadn’t been eradicated yet.

"This information was obtained from them, so its accuracy should be dependable.

"The one who survived the longest had endured in the domain for three years!"

Chu Feng remained silent.

His question had been answered, but Li Dongjiang’s words carried too much information for him to digest; he needed time to process it all.

Li Dongjiang was not in a hurry, knowing that as long as Chu Feng had something to pursue, he would eventually come to them for help.

He looked at the nearly suffocated Fika in Chu Feng’s hand and asked softly, "This member of the Demon Clan, what are your plans for it?"

Chu Feng glanced at him, "Are you of any use?"

Li Dongjiang shrugged his shoulders, "Somewhat useful, but not much, perhaps digging out the intelligence from his brain could add a bit to what we already know."

"Interrogation?" Chu Feng looked at the Fika in his hand, slowly shook his head, and scoffed, "It doesn’t deserve to live that long."

With a flicker of thought, he applied more force, shredding Fika’s spiritual power into even finer pieces!

Knowing that he would not let go of his personal enemy, Li Dongjiang smiled and raised his hand, "Then please, as you wish.

"By the way, should I leave you my contact information? Contact me anytime if there’s a problem."

Chu Feng looked at him deeply, "Alright, thank you!"

Li Dongjiang smiled, "It’s me who should thank you, for helping us unearth a poison that has been deeply buried for twenty years!

"Without your intelligence, we wouldn’t know how much losses we would have suffered!"

Chu Feng was slightly interested, "That Evil Cult undercover agent who was buried for twenty years? How did you dig him out?"

Li Dongjiang, holding an information terminal, revealed a bitter smile, "Him? Not him, it’s... them!"

"..."

...

Demon Annihilation Army garrison.

Earlier today, all units under the Demon Battlefield of the Demon Annihilation Army received an order: assemble the entire army for a unified live broadcast study session.

After the Demon Extermination Army soldiers assembled, Inspectors from headquarters took control of all channels of external communication under monitoring at each unit’s garrison.

But the vast majority of soldiers were indifferent.

Military discipline required that there be no external communication during wartime, with the exception of being allowed to make contact with family only during the leave; they were already accustomed to it.

Only those with guilty consciences sensed something was amiss.

But the imposition of martial law came so suddenly that it caught them off guard. They had no choice but to surrender their legitimately held information terminals and became mute.

Afterward, everyone in the Demon Annihilation Army watched the whole performance directed by Chu Feng through drones released by Xu Tianci and others!

They saw Xu Tianci and his men raid the Demon Clan’s camp, identify the Fire-Spirit Demon Priest and the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Evil Cult "God Worship Sect," as well as their purpose of fostering cooperation between the Demons and Monster Clan.

Following that, they were taken aback when they simply let the Monster Clan go and instead pressed down on the Demon Clan in the camp for a beating.

After Xu Tianci captured Vice Sect Hierarch Yao Zequan, the live broadcast abruptly cut off with a "click."

The live broadcast was set with a five-minute delay to handle emergencies. The ensuing scene with Fika erupting in violence and overpowering Xu Tianci and others was not fit for continued broadcasting.

Therefore, the personnel in control of the live broadcast decisively cut it off.

When the instructors announced the end of the live broadcast, all soldiers in the camps could not help but whisper among themselves.

Was Commander Xu secretly communicating with the Monster Clan to slay the Demon Clan’s emissary sent to collaborate with the Monster Clan?

Was the Human Race about to join forces with the Monster Clan, collectively targeting the Demon Clan?

Had the heavens turned upside down?!

...

Afterward, one Inspector after another took the stage to make speeches.

The content of the speeches was broadly similar: they stated that with the help of the Monster Clan, the Human Race had killed the emissary from the Demon Clan, making every effort to prevent the Demon Alliance from jointly attacking the Human Race’s stronghold.

But it was very likely that such actions would enrage the Demon Clan, so the entire Demon Annihilation Army was put on a war footing to prevent surprise enemy attacks!

After the announcements, the soldiers dispersed to prepare for battle, and the signal jammers were lifted.

However, behind the scenes, every camp was tightly surveilled, all internal and external communication signals intercepted, and even the most ancient method of pigeon messaging was guarded against.

Not even a mosquito was to escape alive from the Demon Annihilation Army garrison!

Finally, several undercover agents who secretly passed messages outward were captured and subjected to intense interrogation.

Then, following the threads discovered, the entire network of traitors hidden in the Demon Annihilation Army was rooted out!
