Chapter 400: Devil’s Palace, pleasant cooperation (Part 2)

The Leader in command doesn’t feel neglected. Although it was his first time to meet Demon Lord, he knew Demon Lord was proud and indifferent. And he can see it with his own eyes.

After the leader in command greeted Demon Lord, he asked around Demon Lord’s people what they were doing here.

The guard behind Demon Lord looked at Demon Lord. When he got his approval, he said: “The southern fifth prince, Nannuo Li are hiding inside. We came here to catch him.”

The guard then pointed his finger towards the entrance of the stone door: “That is the entrance and exit. We have fewer people, so it’s inconvenient for us to confront them head-on. We decide to use fire instead.”

“The Southern Fifth Prince, he is really here?” The leader in command’s eyes widens in shock.

This was great, this was a great opportunity.

“If the southern fifth prince isn’t here, why would we go to the mountains in the middle of the night? To soak ourselves in the pond and have fun?” Demon Lord said with a bad tone. The leader in command didn’t get angry. He continued to ask: “May I ask why his lord and men came looking for the southern fifth prince?”

“Our Lord has personal grievances towards the fifth prince. Daren, you can rest assured, our Lord will not cause you trouble. Once we catch the fifth prince, we will leave immediately. We will not hinder your work. Of course, it’s best if Daren could hide the fact that we came here.”

Demon Lord’s people made it clear that they were only after Nannuo Li for personal grievances and will not hinder the emperor’s people job. They even pointed out that they were willing to give all the credits to them. But, the emperor’s people must help them cover their visit.

This matter is a win-win solution. The emperor’s people couldn’t disagree. After this, they can meet the emperor and report this case without a problem.

The two sides happily reached an agreement. The emperor’s people have a large number of people. Demon Lord’s people kindly ask for their support. The emperor’s people didn’t bother to refuse.

The cooperation between the two teams was definitely not a simple case. They didn’t see any obvious change, but for the people in the underground. They instantly felt the pressure has doubled.

More and more fires fell from the passageway so that the people near the entrance couldn’t breathe and couldn’t see things well. A group of southern people was forced to wet their clothes and cover their mouth an nose.

“Ahem, ahem… What’s going on? How did the smoke suddenly get thicker and thicker? If this continues, we might die in suffocation.”

“The Eastern people are really cunning. They blocked the entrance and trying to kill us with smoke.”

At this time, the southern people found out that the eastern people were not trying to burn them, but instead, suffocating them with smoke… …

“Your Highness, the other party has a lot of people, they seemed to have been prepared. We can’t go on like this.” Some older people, that can’t withstand the smoke, came back to find Nannuo Li and reported.

Nannuo Li was in the back. He was relatively in a safe place. However, he built this underground palace, so he can’t be unaware of their situation

Originally, their life-saving underground palace now becomes their grave. If they don’t go out as soon as possible, they will be suffocated to death.

Seeing the situation ahead, Nannuo Li knew that they couldn’t just sit idly. They must save themselves.

“Fifty people, go and wet our clothes, then rushed into the passageway.” Nannuo Li was planning to use his people to clear the way. After all, this was the only way they can use now.

As soon as Nannuo Li’s order fell, fifty people immediately came forward.

Everyone knows that these fifty people will be sent to death, but they have to fight. Otherwise, not only fifty people will die among them.

Soon, the fifty people jump into the water and wet their clothes. They also covered their body with a wet quilt. The wet quilt was heavy, but it will give them some protection. When they rushed to the fire, they will not die immediately… …
