The man, terrified by Evan Yang's trickery, hurriedly responded and left. Once he was gone, Selena Water lowered her hands and snorted, "That guy is really gutsy. Are all Demon Realm people like this?"
"It's not just the Demon Realm; the Immortal Realm is the same," Evan Yang sent a voice transmission to Selena Water. Only then did Selena realize she had almost let something slip. Meanwhile, the old man and the young woman quickly stepped forward to thank Evan Yang and Selena.
"Thank you both for stepping in to help. Otherwise, the two of us would have been in real trouble today," the old man said. The young woman also expressed her gratitude.
Before Evan Yang could reply, Selena Water said, "It was just a small matter."
"Are you two from Demon Mountain?" The old man asked curiously, judging from Evan Yang and Selena Water's attire.
"Yes. What about you two—what are you doing at Demon Mountain?" Evan Yang asked them.
The old man smiled awkwardly. "The two of us wandered for years. She is Lynn Lee, my young miss. Later, our family was wiped out, and we fled here. We originally hoped to find friends, but they disappeared, so we ended up doing odd jobs here. The man just now was the one who brought us in for chores. At first, we were grateful to him, but today—"
"You were grateful to someone like that? Should've just killed him," Selena Water said.
"Right, right," the old man nodded repeatedly.
What Evan Yang valued about these two was their status here: first, they were ordinary, just odd-job workers; second, their cultivation was low, so no one would pay attention to them; third, after staying here so long, few people would suspect them.
So Evan Yang smiled and said, "We've only just arrived here and aren't very familiar with Demon Mountain yet. Would you be willing to show us around?"
"Show you around Demon Mountain? That would be great! We may not be much, but after a thousand years here, we know this place like the back of our hand. You two are our lifesavers—this is the least we can do," Walter Wu said.
"That's wonderful. I'm Mu Han, and this is Selena Water. How should I address you two?" Evan Yang asked with a smile.
"I'm Walter Wu, and this is my young miss, Lynn Lee," the old man said.
"So it's Elder Wu and Miss Lynn. Thank you for your help," Evan Yang said.
Walter Wu chuckled, "Come on, let us show you around."
With that, Selena Water and Lynn Lee walked together—after all, two women had more to chat about—while Evan Yang and Walter Wu followed behind. The four of them split into two pairs, two in front and two behind.
On the way, Evan Yang and Selena Water learned a lot from Walter Wu about Demon Mountain, including various locations and which places were forbidden zones that couldn't be approached. Walter Wu explained everything in detail to Evan Yang and Selena.
After about half a day, Evan Yang had already learned about dozens of forbidden zones. It was clear how vast Demon Mountain was. Trying to find the Sky-Flooding Demon Sovereign among all those forbidden zones was nearly impossible—each forbidden zone was tightly guarded, and any mishap would affect future actions. Only by confirming the Sky-Flooding Demon Sovereign's location could they proceed.
So by nightfall, Evan Yang brought Walter Wu and Lynn Lee to a well-known guest inn in Demon Mountain. People came and went, all of them Demon Mountain locals.
