Hu Mazi released his grip, but still looked at the snake demon warily: “I will ask you a few questions. Answer them honestly, and I will let you go.”
“Otherwise, I will use my treasure to make you scream in pain!”
“Who are you? What do you want?” asked the snake demon with a trembling voice.
“Who we are doesn’t matter,” David said. “What I’m asking is, was the Leader of Green Snake Valley killed by the people from Black Wind Fort?”
The female snake demon hesitated for a moment, then nodded: “Yaya. The Lord of the Valley died a terrible death.”
“What is the Red Snake Sect’s plan?” David asked.
“The sect leader has gathered the sect experts and is preparing to take revenge against the Black Wind Fort,” said the female snake demon. “Our Red Snake Sect and Green Snake Valley both originate from the lineage of snake demons. We will never stand idly by while our valley master is killed.”
“Aside from the Red Snake Sect, are there any other forces willing to help you?” David asked, because this was the question he was most worried about.
The female snake demon shook her head: “No. Other forces either have close ties with the Black Wind Fort or are afraid of getting involved, so they don’t want to interfere.”
David frowned slightly; this wasn’t what he expected.
Could it be that the only forces involved in the extermination of the clan were the Black Demon Palace and the Black Wind Fort?
“Do you know about the extermination of the Hu clan 2,800 years ago?” Hu Mazi couldn’t help asking.
The female snake demon was silent for a moment, then shook her head: “I don’t know anything about the Hu clan. I haven’t been a member for long, and I don’t know many old stories.”
David and Hu Mazi exchanged glances, a glimmer of disappointment flashing in their eyes.
Looks like we won’t get much useful information from this snake demon woman.
“One last question,” David said, “Where is the leader of the Red Snake Sect now?”
“Sect leader is currently in seclusion, preparing to break through to third rank of Earth Deity realm. He will come out of seclusion in a few days,” said the female snake demon.
David nodded and said to Hu Mazi, “Let’s go.”
Hu Mazi hesitated for a moment: “Just let him go?”
Seeing the woman’s posture, Hu Mazi realized that he had not been with a woman for a long time. All the women he had been with were at the Third Heaven, and even after reaching the Fourth Heaven, Hu Mazi had yet to look for a woman!
“What? What more do you want?” ask David!
“How about I stab you a few times?” Hu Mazi said!
“Let him go,” David said. “Killing him will only alert the enemy and make it difficult for us to gather information.”
“Then I’ll be gentler?” Hu Mazi insisted.
“Let them go, or I will leave you!”
David walked away.
Hu Mazi nodded helplessly, knocked the female snake demon unconscious, and then left with David.
