[Gratitude of the Demons]
Lin Ye stood amidst a serene forest, surrounded by the Linghu Clan, a small yet noble demon race. Their eyes were filled with gratitude, their expressions soft and sincere. Though their powers were far weaker than Lin Ye's, these demons had endured much oppression and injustice in their lives. The sight of Lin Ye—their savior—filled them with awe and hope. In a world where those with great power were often ruthless and indifferent, Lin Ye's intervention had not only saved their lives but also rekindled their hope for a better future.
The leader of the Linghu Clan, an older fox demoness with silver fur and wise eyes, stepped forward. Her voice was filled with sincerity as she spoke to Lin Ye. "Your life-saving grace is something we cannot repay, but if you have any need, our Linghu Clan will do everything in our power to assist you."
Lin Ye nodded, acknowledging her words. While he knew these demons were not powerful enough to match his strength, their gratitude and loyalty were invaluable to him. At this moment, their support could provide him with the allies he desperately needed in his quest for vengeance and answers.
[Clues About Wang Bo]
As Lin Ye conversed with the Linghu Clan, he uncovered a lead about Wang Bo. One of the clan members mentioned that after the riot at the mine, a group of human warriors had stormed the facility and taken several slaves, including an elderly man with a limp. Though the demons couldn’t say for certain if the old man was Wang Bo, the description of the crippled man closely matched Lin Ye's mentor. Furthermore, the demons mentioned that the warriors appeared to be heading west, towards a hidden base deep within the mountain range.
The revelation ignited a spark of hope within Lin Ye. Wang Bo's fate might still be within reach, and that secret base could hold vital information about his mentor's whereabouts. Lin Ye clenched his fists, determined to track down his old friend and ensure his safety.
[Demon's Guidance]
The Linghu Clan leader continued, offering valuable information about the treacherous western mountain range. "The terrain in the western mountains is perilous, with many dangerous areas and traps. However, we are familiar with those places and can help you avoid the most deadly traps and areas patrolled by warriors. If you wish, we can guide you."
Lin Ye understood the importance of this offer. In his current state, with unknown enemies and dangers ahead, the guidance of the Linghu Clan was a precious resource. "Thank you. Your help means a great deal to me. I would be grateful for your guidance as I head towards that secret base."
The demon clan members bowed in respect, their faces filled with admiration. They swiftly prepared to lead the way. Lin Ye, bolstered by this unexpected alliance, followed them into the depths of the western mountains, his heart alight with renewed hope that he would soon find Wang Bo.
