Everyone's eyes turned in unison toward Wu Chang again.
Wu Chang said, "Since things have reached this point, I won't hide it from everyone any longer. I want to protect this man! The reason is that the Demon Cult came to beg me."
"The Demon Cult?" Luo Qiu chuckled. "Others may not know, but I do. The Demon Cult can order you around?"
Wu Chang cast him a sidelong glance. He knew the other's words concealed mockery of old matters, but he remained unmoved. "Not order! Listen carefully—they begged me!"
Luo Qiu said, "People from the Demon Cult begged you to save Yuan Gang? They have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. Why would the Demon Cult step forward for him?"
Wu Chang said, "To be honest with you all, I only learned certain things recently as well. Not long ago, I received a message from the Demon Cult. After leaving the Sacred Realm, I made a trip to Demon Ridge and only then learned Yuan Gang's true identity. That is why, upon returning, I had him brought here directly."
True identity? Everyone was somewhat curious. Changsun Mi asked, "What identity could this Yuan Gang possibly have?"
Wu Chang said, "Holy Son!"
Changsun Mi said, "What?"
Wu Chang explained, "The successor of the Demon Cult's Holy Maiden. This Yuan Gang inherited the Demon Cult Holy Maiden's legacy and is the Demon Cult's current Holy Son!"
The crowd exchanged looks.
Mu Lianze said, "Wu Chang, what kind of joke are you making? The Demon Cult has always had Holy Maidens through every generation. How did a Holy Son suddenly appear?"
Wu Chang said, "Because the Demon Cult misunderstood me too deeply and always believed I would harm the Demon Cult Holy Maiden. To guard against me, they produced a man."
