I Just Wanted To Live but I Somehow Became Better Than the Protagonist

“Tell me everything you know about the Exterminator.” Ye Yong knew that the goat demon had fallen under Bai Cui’s special ability and was currently in an illusion. Any questions from the outside world would appear in the illusion as reasonable scenarios, making him answer honestly.

Sure enough, the goat demon felt like he was dreaming. When he woke up, he was surprised to find the clan leader and two highly respected elders standing before him. They were asking about the Exterminator, surely to see how much he knew and whether he was fit for a higher position to better serve the Exterminator.

After a brief delay, the goat demon spoke woodenly, “The Exterminator is a savior sent from the upper realm. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Exterminator was severely injured, and his companions fell. Now, with the connection between the Xuande Realm and the upper realm severed, he still wants to complete his mission. So, he granted us, the weak Xuanyang tribe, power, giving us our current status, hoping we could complete his mission on his behalf.”

A standard answer, as if brainwashed by religion.

Demons do not call themselves demons or extraterrestrial beings; they refer to themselves as Exterminators.

Healers of the world, exterminators of the world’s tumors.

It sounds quite grand, but Exterminator = World Destroyer.

If Ye Yong hadn’t read the novel and knew what demons really were, he might have believed the goat demon’s nonsense. But at this moment… he felt no emotion, not even a desire to laugh.

It was like hearing a heinous serial killer, who spares neither the old nor the young, claim that he was acting on behalf of heaven.

In many lower realms, quite a few have already fallen victim to the demonic hands. The lower realms that have been conquered by them are all without exception, filled with desolation and decay, becoming breeding grounds for demons, until the world completely withers and turns into a dead land, only then can it be truly liberated.

“Have you ever seen the appearance of the Annihilation Envoy?” If he could get some description, Ye Yong could roughly determine what kind of intelligent demon the other party was.

“The little one does not dare to overstep, only you, the clan leader, and a few elders are qualified.”

Such an answer was not unexpected. Ye Yong continued to ask, “Then regarding the siege action of Shilin City, how much do you know?”

“You personally gave the order, clan leader. It doesn’t matter what happens to Shilin City, as long as the Holy Word is dealt with.”

“I’m asking about the deployment of troops.”

“This little one is not clear. You said to infiltrate Shilin City, it’s best not to have contact to avoid being discovered.”

Then why did I capture you? You don’t know anything useful.

Ye Yong looked at the goat demon with disdain, then signaled Song Song to deal with it.

Song Song nodded. Don’t be fooled by her usually cute and dazed appearance. When she acts, she does so without hesitation, and without any change in expression. With a forceful pull of the controlling vines, the goat demon was completely silenced.

“Do you need anything else?” Song Song saw that there were still a few breaths on the search disk.

“Capture them. Even if we can’t get any information, helping the city guards eliminate the traitors who stab them in the back is also good.”

————Somewhere in the Western District

“Long Tian! It’s time to end this game! Don’t worry, I won’t kill you just yet. I’ll take you to my brother’s corpse, make you kneel and repent, then skin you and dismember you bit by bit, so you can feel the pain of being tortured!” Kuang Quanbing’s eyes were full of madness, his gaze locked onto Long Tian, and his lips curled into a mocking smile.

Long Tian was severely injured, covered in blood, and extremely disheveled, but he had no fatal wounds. He knew Kuang Quanbing was toying with him and was now tired of it, ready to get serious. However, Long Tian had no strength left to resist; the gap in their cultivation levels was too vast.

If he had a Nascent Soul, Long Tian believed he wouldn’t be so passive, but he was only at the tenth level of the Crystal Formation stage, not even reaching the Golden Core stage. Fortunately, he was never one to easily accept fate. As long as there was a chance, he wouldn’t give up. Like a headless fly, he ran around chaotically and, with the guidance of the old fallen immortal, stumbled into a place resembling a forbidden zone.

“Where did this human brat come from?”

“Judging by his attire, he seems to be a cultivator from the Kunlun Realm.”

As soon as Long Tian stepped into the area, several demon kings in the Transformation stage surrounded him.

“Esteemed seniors, I mean no harm,” Long Tian said, unsure if this was a blessing or a curse, but he had no other choice.

“No one can help you! Don’t even think about it!” Kuang Quanbing accelerated, his clawed hand reaching for Long Tian, but the demon kings forced him back.

“Kid, do you know what this place is?” A demon king with cultivation comparable to Kuang Quanbing’s stared at him.

“I don’t know, and I don’t care. I only know that my prey is here. I advise you all not to stop me, or else…” Kuang Quanbing’s arrogance knew no bounds, as he demanded the demon kings hand over Long Tian.

This infuriated the demon kings: “I think this is one of those bloodthirsty demons Lord Qingwu mentioned! Our mission is to fend off the attackers and evacuate the residents and soldiers. Brothers, get him!”

“I am the young master of the deputy city! You ignorant outsiders dare to oppose me! I will definitely destroy you!” In a fit of rage, Kuang Quanbing began to undergo ancestral regression, quickly transforming into a humanoid giant wolf and engaging in battle with the demon kings. Even when faced with an onslaught, he did not fall behind, and instead, seemed to have the upper hand against the demon kings.

“This wolf is no ordinary being!”

“He said he is the young master of the deputy city, could he be from the Kuang family?”

“Should we just turn a blind eye and hand over that human kid to him?”

Just as the demon kings were about to stop and hand over Long Tian, a gust of green demon wind blew towards Kuang Quanbing.

“Poison gas? Or a mix of fire poison?” Kuang Quanbing, with his remaining rationality, quickly retreated, warily watching the feather-adorned woman descending from the sky.

“Are you determined to disgrace the young lady? Ignoring the previous intruders was one thing, but now, facing the threat of a traitor, you still think of agreeing?” Coco, who had been ignored by Ye Yong, was already in a bad mood. Now, with this farce happening at the outer defenses of the base, her temper flared up.

“Very sorry!” The demon kings quickly bowed their heads.

“You!” Coco pointed at Kuang Quanbing, “You are no longer the young master of Shilin City, you are an enemy! And the enemies of Shilin City are naturally the enemies of our young lady! If you dare to step half a foot into the territory, I guarantee you will not return!”

Kuang Quanbing stopped his ancestral regression and returned to human form. His hair was disheveled, and his cold gaze swept over the panting Long Tian and then at Coco. He gritted his teeth, “Fine! Very well! You outsiders! You are harboring the murderer of my brother! I will settle this account with you personally when my father returns!”

In the end, reason triumphed over emotion. Although Kuang Quanbing did not take the demon kings seriously, Coco was different. As a bird demon skilled in aerial combat and poison, he did not believe he could capture Long Tian in such a situation.

After Kuang Quanbing retreated, Long Tian bowed to the floating Coco, “Thank you, senior, for your assistance…”

However, before he could finish speaking, Coco left as if ignoring him.

Long Tian was not embarrassed and took it as a sign of her aloofness.

‘Why does it feel like I’ve seen her somewhere before?’

‘It should be when we were at Lingyou Mountain. They helped you solve a problem and then asked you to bring something back to Tianluo Sect to give to Ye Yong.’

‘Yes!’ Long Tian remembered that this indeed happened.

Going around in circles, the people and demons who helped him were all connected to Ye Yong. Long Tian couldn’t help but sigh, once again owing Ye Yong a favor.
