I Became the Demon King of Lust

After another long night's rest, it was time to put the plan in action.

The reason why we had to wait this long and not head out right away was because we were letting Long Shui Ling recover her mana.

She was the crux of the plan, so we needed her in her best condition for it to work.

We all set out from the camp together, but we quickly split up into two separate groups.

One group was led by Tie Gang while the other group was led by me.

This time, there were three other groups that came with us to enter the mummy settlement. There would have been more, but this was the limit of what Long Shui Ling could hide with her illusions.

So this was the group that would be infiltrating the camp.

The other group was led by Tie Gang and would be waiting outside the mummy settlement.

They would be waiting for the signal before making their assault.

One thing that I noticed was that the ones assigned to follow me were those that didn't have a grudge against me.

These were the ones that hadn't looked at me with disdain when I had reported.

It seemed that Tie Gang had been paying attention and made sure to separate me from those that disliked me.

After all, if we were apart from Tie Gang and those people refused to follow my orders, it would be a disaster. At least this group would have a better chance of listening to my orders than the others.

As we approached the mummy settlement, Tie Gang stopped all of us to give one final pep talk.

We all gathered around in a circle and waited for him to speak.

Tie Gang didn't say anything at first as his eyes swept over us.

He looked at each and every one of us with these eyes as if he was trying to connect with each one of us.

Finally, he took a deep breath and said, "I know that all of you are daunted by the large hurdle that is in front of us, but I want all of you to know that regardless of what happens, I am proud of you."

Everyone couldn't help being surprised since this was unlike anything that Tie Gang had said before.

But then…

"But I think that we all know what we're here for today. We're here for honour and prestige, so I know that we will do all that we can to make this a success. I hope that all of you will have good luck, but more importantly, I hope that all of you will do what you need to do." At the end of this, Tie Gang's eyes turned sharp and everyone felt a bit of pressure falling on them.

In a sense, this was his warning for them.

In the end, Tie Gang ended it by saying, "Most importantly of all, I hope that all of you will do all that you can to stay alive. This will be a dangerous mission, but I will consider it a success as long as we can keep casualties to a minimum."

Everyone gave a firm nod after hearing this.

The most important thing for anyone…was their own life.

So naturally they all agreed to this.

With this, Tie Gang turned to me and said, "Good luck."

I gave a nod as I said, "You too."

After that, we split up into our separate groups.

As we stood there, I looked at everyone and saw the determined looks on their faces.

I had thought about giving a motivational speech of my own, but it seemed that it wasn't necessary.

So with a wave of my hand, I turned and headed in the direction of the wall.

As we walked over, there was a sensation of magic power coming over us.

The ones in our group weren't worried at all since we knew what this was, but the ones from the other three groups were surprised since this was their first time experiencing this.

It was Long Shui Ling putting up her illusion.

As she did, I couldn't help turning back to look at her with a worried look.

I didn't know how strong her powers were, but I knew that she was definitely pushing herself like this. I could see that she was struggling a bit to maintain this illusion.

But when she saw me looking at her, she just put on a strong look as if she was saying that everything was fine.

I hesitated for a second, but I turned back and faced forward again before moving even faster.

I couldn't do anything to help her, so the only thing that I could do was try to get everything set up as soon as possible.

When we came up to the wall, we were greeted by the mummies that were on it this time before we even approached.

It seemed like they remembered us, or rather they remembered me.

When they popped out, the people from the other three groups couldn't help jolting.

It was clear that they were nervous seeing these mummies appear, they even seemed like they wanted to pull out their weapons in response to this. However, they stopped when they saw me glaring at them and gesturing with my hand for them to calm down.

They were a bit hesitant at first, but they still calmed down and followed my orders in the end.

After we came up to the wall, the same thing happened as before where they lowered down the ladder for us.

Even though we had come back with more people, they weren't suspicious at all since they had already heard that we had gone out to find more mummies. So it seemed that Long Shui Ling's illusion ability was still working even though there were so many of us here.

After getting past the wall, the people from the other three groups couldn't help being shocked by what they saw.

Even though they had already heard my report, seeing it with their own eyes was a completely different sensation.

They never would have thought that there would be a society of monsters living in harmony like this.

I gave them a moment to come back to their senses since they would be useless to us before then. But then I said, "Get a hold of yourselves. We're here to do a job, not to gawk in a daze."

They slowly turned back to look at me before snapping out of their daze.

They knew that I was right, so they quickly focused their minds and prepared to do what they needed to do.

We would have quite a bit of ground to cover, but we should be able to do it quite quickly since we could move freely through these mummies.

Or at least that was what I thought.

Before we could take a single step, there was a mummy that ran over.

This was the mummy that had guided us when we had just arrived.

I thought that it was coming over to take over showing the new mummies around, but it turned out to be something completely different.

As soon as it came over, it immediately waved its hand as if it was telling me to follow it.

I couldn't help deeply knitting my brows when I saw this.
