Hearing Damien's voice, Feng Qing'er's face immediately showed her annoyance.
"Oh? You actually cared to come back? I thought for sure that you'd run away this time as well."
Damien coughed lightly and averted his eyes. 'Well, it's not like you could've beat me back then even if I had stayed still and fought.' But he didn't say those words out loud. Only god knew what kind of beating he'd receive if he did so.
"Hehe, so? Did you get the information you wanted? Where's that demon girl? Tell us everything!" Qing Tan didn't even wait for him to answer, firing off several questions in a row.
Damien smiled wryly. It seemed he would have to tell them at least the general information.
He'd thought about it on the way back, but he realized that he couldn't really go and tell them everything he knew about the Nox and the outside world, as it wasn't something that could be revealed carelessly.
Not only that, but he also felt that it wasn't in their capacity to know, just like it technically shouldn't be in his. Those 4th class existences, regardless of which world they were in, seemed to have a tacit understanding not to spill information about the Nox.
Although he didn't know the reason they were like this, he couldn't simply ignore it. Sure, when it came to the general public, their reasoning could be to not incite mass hysteria, but it was different when even their personal disciples were in the dark.
If even those closest to them weren't qualified to receive information from them, then he, as an outsider and a 3rd class existence, didn't have the right. He'd have to ask the White Dragon King or Tian Yang before speaking rashly.
"Kuhum, listen carefully. While we may be in this Trial World for the sake of the Primordial Undying Tree and its tests, the residents here view it as their homeworld. Essentially, the thousands of years when this realm isn't open aren't simply spent in stasis…"
"Why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Feng Qing'er asked. She wasn't in the mood for a random history lesson she didn't need.
"Don't be impatient. Anyway, as I was saying, there are things going on within this realm that are far greater than merely a trial for us outsiders. And the main thing we need to focus on is the Demons."
Damien went on to introduce the demons and their hierarchy as he had known it so far. He also told them about the elusive plans they had for spilling blood on the land in order for some goal they wanted to achieve.
He decided to leave out matters concerning the Nihility Flame and his own plans, since the sole inheritor was in his possession and the rest of the possessors were Demon Kings, but other than that and the matters pertaining to their relationship with the Nox, he didn't leave our anything. Even the so-called Demon God was mentioned.
By the end of his story, both girls had solemn looks on their faces. Damien didn't know enough about their schemes since even Elitra wasn't told anything of relevance, but even with the basic information he had told them, they knew that something big was going on.
"Hmm, that's great and all, but do we really need to get involved? I mean, we'll be leaving this place in 9 months anyway." Qing Tan suddenly spoke up.
Damien shook his head. "I guess we don't necessarily need to get involved, but it's for the best that we do. The matters within this world will end up affecting our lives in the outside world if we don't at least quell them to a manageable level."
Seeing that she wasn't convinced, Damien added a cherry on top. "Besides, if you look at the proportion of beings in this world, the Demons are undoubtedly the most prevalent race. And since there's so many small fries and Generals among them, wouldn't you be able to acquire a much larger amount of points than the competition?"
Qing Tan's eyes lit up at the mention of benefits. Damien inwardly clicked his tongue at this, but he didn't say much. After all, even he was somewhat similar. If it wasn't for his knowledge of the overall situation, he'd probably be the same.

Feng Qing'er, on the other hand, seemed to be deep in thought. A fiery aura had coated her body before anyone noticed.
"Those damn bastards…they dare to harm innocent mortals?! For their own petty gain?!"
Furious mutters left her mouth. Her mind kept remembering the scenes of the destroyed villages she had seen on her way to Astoria, the cold corpses that littered the ground. Even infants hadn't been spared from the slaughter.
The whole thing made her furious, but she hadn't had anywhere to vent her fury. That is, until now.
"Demons…demons…demons…" her head suddenly shot up, her Phoenix eyes glaring at Damien.
"Tell me where they are. I'm going to rip them all to shreds!"
Damien watched her in amusement, trying his best to suppress the chuckle that threatened to leak out of his mouth. 'Truly a heroic spirit, ah.'
"Relax, you'll get your chance to kill. However, rushing into their base isn't something any of us can do carelessly. Actually, even if we thoroughly plan it still isn't something we should do. There are 4 4th class existences staying there. Even in the case that we can evade their radars, even the smallest mistake will mean death.
"For now, we should focus on the cities that demon woman told me about. The best thing we can do is stop the assault and slaughter more Demon Generals. When the time comes, we can move on to Commanders.
"Unlike the Generals, who number in the hundreds, there are only 10 commanders. Not only will we rake in contributions for our stars when we kill them, but we can also leave a significant dent in their forces."
As Damien spoke, Feng Qing'er seemed to calm down slightly. Though, the air around her was still burning.
Qing Tan, on the other hand, seemed much more practical. "Hmm, that's a good plan, but is there any assurance that the Commanders will actually come out? If we show too much power, wouldn't they become wary instead?"
"Right, that's how it usually would be. And we definitely need to keep an eye out for such a situation. But, the Demon Kings severely underestimate us.
"No, it's not right to say they underestimate us. Rather, their estimations are based on those ordinary geniuses. We can be considered outliers that they haven't planned for. If my guess is right, they'll send a few Commanders out without much thought when they first hear about us. We only need to worry about what happens after we kill those Commanders."
Qing Tan nodded in agreement. A bright smile emerged on her face as she spoke. "Mm! It looks like things are starting to get a lot more fun! Let's go then!"
Damien smiled wryly. Where did this girl get all her energy? Did she really have to be so peppy all the time? But it wasn't so bad. She reminded him of an older and more scary version of little Xue.
Shaking off his thoughts, Damien returned to the main point. "Now the question is, should we stick together or spread out to cover more cities in a shorter amount of time?"
