Seeing the solemn expressions on Ci Tie and the others' faces, Shen Gui could roughly guess what they were worried about, even without being told.
But Shen Gui only wanted to say: they were overthinking it.
Nuwa herself did not want to manage Heavenly Demon City and had thrown everything to Fuxi, let alone anything else.
Thus, Shen Gui said directly, "I can more or less guess your concerns. However, please rest assured on this matter. If that were the case, Empress would not have sent me here alone. While it would not be convenient for me to speak plainly about what Empress intends to do, I can guarantee that it will absolutely not harm your interests. You may rest easy on that point."
Hearing Shen Gui say this, Ci Tie and the others secretly breathed sighs of relief.
As long as Nuwa was not planning to absorb them into her ranks, everything was negotiable.
After all, whatever Nuwa wanted to do would surely be opposed to the Demon Country, so it would only benefit them and bring no harm.
With that point settled, the conversation that followed became much more relaxed.
They did not expect a single Grand Unity Golden Immortal like Shen Gui to truly be able to help them much. However, if they built a good relationship with him, then should they really fail in their resistance against the Demon Country and flee to the Central Continent in the future, having this connection would give them a better chance of escaping the Demon Country's pursuit.
While the Demon Kings of Southern Jambudvipa were forming an alliance at Qingmang Mountain, the Demon Country was not idle either.
With informants on the inside, Bai Ze knew every move the Demon Alliance made like the back of his hand.
