The corners of Yang Chen's mouth rose. This Crimson Fiend at the Earth Martial Realm peak was far smarter than Hei Yong.
He had originally been thinking of finding an excuse for these Forbidden Demon Clan members, but with just a few words, this Crimson Fiend had spared him all that trouble. The excuse Yong Jin had found was excellent, practically flawless—blaming it on a natural disaster could not have been more fitting.
Even if someone came to investigate later, they would not suspect anything. They would only believe that natural calamities had truly caused the disturbance.
In order to display his loyalty, the Crimson Fiend added repeatedly, "Once our strength recovers, we will immediately set out to gather information everywhere for you, Master, so that you may make further plans."
Yang Chen said slowly, "Yong Jin, you are very clever!"
The Crimson Fiend called Yong Jin was delighted upon hearing Yang Chen's praise. He hurriedly said, "Thank you for your praise, Master!"
He had actually tried to struggle just now, to see whether he could break free from the enslavement restriction. Yet when he truly attempted it, he discovered just how terrifying that restriction was.
He knew that he absolutely could not entertain even the slightest thought of betraying Yang Chen. Otherwise, he would die without even a place to bury his corpse!
Yang Chen said slowly, "We'll use Yong Jin's method. You should all remember it. Do not reveal any flaws to me. I will return first over the next few days to make some preparations. When I come back, I hope all of you will obediently carry out your duties."
"Yes, Master!" The dozen or so Forbidden Demon Clan members all agreed readily, not daring to harbor the slightest thought of defiance.
Yang Chen was very satisfied.
