Chapter 277: An Envoy Dies Right After the Alliance is Formed

"What? The deputy envoy is dead? Was he so desperate?" Qin Muye was puzzled. Living was good, so what kind of blow could have driven him to suicide?

As for murder, that was simply impossible. Why would the spirits and monsters bother to kill him for no reason?

Unless someone in the envoy group did it themselves to make it look like a suicide.

"Right now, the Great You envoy group believes we did it. It's difficult to calm them down," Black Hand said.

Qin Muye was silent for a moment, then said, "Show them the surveillance. If they still make a fuss, send them on their way."

To be honest, Qin Muye didn't really care whether the alliance with Great You was successful. From the conversations among the envoys, he knew that these so-called Great You people looked down on them and even referred to his territory as the Demon Land.

They didn't say it openly, but they all said it in the inn.

Although he didn't care about his reputation, he wasn't going to let anyone step all over him. Now they wanted an explanation, as if they thought Qin Muye was afraid of them.

Black Hand, of course, knew about these things. Based on their interests, it was fine to be insulted a bit, but if they started to get overconfident, that was a different matter.

So, this time Black Hand came not just to inform Qin Muye that a deputy envoy had died. Even if the chief envoy Bai Lu had died, it would be the same. He mainly came to get an order from Qin Muye to break ties.

Now that Qin Muye had agreed, the subsequent matters would be easier to handle.

They had come to this world with a deep-seated resentment towards it. They could endure it when there were benefits, but if the benefits didn't outweigh the costs, they wouldn't tolerate it.

"Yes, Master, I will handle it well," Black Hand said.

After that, he left to handle the matter.

Qin Muye was also annoyed and then pulled up the surveillance.

The entire territory was covered by the Demon Network, and with the 45 layers of the Abyss serving as a large server, there was plenty of storage.

When he opened the surveillance, he saw the deputy envoy Zhao Jianan return to his room, his face changing frequently, then suddenly speaking rudely, and finally dying suddenly.

"Interesting. It's not an external factor, but an internal influence."

"The three great demons in the Spirit Realm must have acted."

Qin Muye immediately concluded that the cause of death was an overload of mental stimulation, leading to a loss of emotional and desire control, which overwhelmed his divine consciousness and resulted in his sudden demise.

The attackers were very ruthless. Normally, this wouldn't cause death, just a change in personality and a deformed soul.

However, to sabotage the alliance between the Great You Dynasty and him, they decided to kill him outright.

Unfortunately, they had misjudged the structure of Qin Muye's territory. The death of one envoy was a minor issue, and even if the entire envoy group, including royal relatives, died here, it would still be a minor matter.

His gaze shifted to the envoy group in the inn, and they were all agitated.

"Seems they've been influenced as well. Tsk, this chief envoy Bai Lu must be having a headache," Qin Muye's tone was tinged with mockery.

From the current situation, the one who should be truly anxious was not Qin Muye but this chief envoy Bai Lu. He was about to proceed with further negotiations in the afternoon, but now this incident had occurred, and his subordinates were being held hostage by their own emotions.

At this moment, Bai Lu was reluctantly communicating with Black Hand about the matter.

Black Hand directly showed the surveillance, and Bai Lu immediately recognized that Zhao Jianan had been influenced and driven mad by the three great demons of the Spirit Realm.

However, his subordinates didn't believe it. They thought it was just an illusion, a deliberate humiliation.

As a result, they were all agitated, completely ignoring their own strength, and demanding that Black Hand hand over the murderer while cursing.

At this point, Bai Lu's scalp was tingling. How could he not understand the situation?

Apart from the already dead Zhao Jianan, the remaining members of the envoy group were also influenced by the three great demons of the Spirit Realm. This was not just a matter of lowered intelligence; it was a matter of them being led to their deaths.

If he couldn't see this, his position as a second-rank official would be a waste.

"Quiet! Zhao Jianan clearly wanted to claim all the credit and was influenced by the three great demons of the Spirit Realm, leading to a divine consciousness backlash and his death. This is a method used by the Spirit Realm to prevent the Great You Dynasty from forming an alliance with us. Can't you see that?"

Bai Lu's divine consciousness erupted, instantly suppressing everyone.

In the entire envoy group, he was the strongest, and no one could match him.

Now, it was better for him to take action himself rather than let the creatures from the Demon Land do it. Other factions of creatures would probably be overjoyed to see this scene. If they dared to rebel, the other side might strike them down immediately.

Not only would the promises of promotions and high ranks disappear, but they might even have to leave their lives here.

"Bai Lu, these Demon Land fiends have insulted our Great You too much. You are trying to cover up the murder of an envoy. Are you a minister of these fiends or a minister of our Great You?" someone shouted.

This made Bai Lu extremely angry.

"Can't you see such an obvious frame-up? You are truly a bunch of useless scum!!" Bai Lu was so angry that he spoke without thinking.

He had not expected that everyone in the envoy group had been silently influenced in their minds.

This was definitely the work of the three great demons from the Spirit Realm. Otherwise, it would not have escaped his notice. More importantly, the demonic influence was deep, indicating that they had been influenced long before their departure.

"Lord Bai, do you need me to send troops to help?" Black Hand, who enjoyed stirring up trouble, said.

"There's no need to trouble Lord Black Hand. I can handle this matter," Bai Lu's expression was extremely grim.

This was not a situation where Black Hand needed an explanation; instead, Bai Lu needed to give an explanation to Black Hand.

If such a significant issue could arise within the envoy group, how much more so within the Great You Dynasty itself?

This was a crisis of trust.

Therefore, he needed to quickly rectify the situation, or it would cause problems in future negotiations.

"That's good. If Lord Bai cannot handle it, we have specialized personnel to deal with it," Black Hand said.

If it came to that, it would be a full-service funeral. He had no good feelings toward these people.

After all, they had openly insulted them. Based on the face of cooperation, he would not take action now, but if they fell into Black Hand's hands, he could guarantee that these people would experience all the punishments in the dungeons while still alive.

Bai Lu sighed. Why did he have to deal with such a situation?

If the three great demons from the Spirit Realm were involved, only the Divine You Emperor could protect them. Otherwise, even a Ninth Realm Artisan could only detect traces of it, let alone an Eighth Realm Artisan like him.

Although he had some precautions, the other side was overpowering him, and no amount of preparation could help.

These three great demons, though often mentally confused due to the injuries inflicted by the Divine You Emperor, were not weak. Even the Divine You Emperor had to take them seriously.

In the presence of these beings, Bai Lu was like an ant, let alone the weaker members of the envoy group who had been influenced by demonic thoughts.

The only reason the three great demons did not dare to enter the Demon Land was that the Demon Land's master seemed to have even more mysterious and unfathomable strength.

As for the members of the envoy group, Bai Lu had no way to save them. Once influenced and possessed, they could only be taken back to the Great You Dynasty for handling.

Killing them was out of the question; the Demon Suppression Department would have to deal with them.

The Great You had three major departments: Demon Suppression, Monster Slaying, and Spirit Extermination, each dealing with the evil spirits of the Spirit Realm, alien insects, and mechanical demons, respectively. There were rumors of a fourth department being planned, specifically to handle the creatures of the Demon Land.

The specifics of this plan would depend on the outcome of this mission.

"Calming Spirit!"

"Stabilizing Soul!"

"Clearing Spirit!"

Three spells turned into spiritual light and directly entered the bodies of all the envoy group members. The indignant voices immediately ceased.

"Peaceful Mind!"

The final spell put all the personnel to sleep.

"Ah, this time, I will have to earn a great deal of merit," a smile appeared on Bai Lu's lips.

Previously, the credit would have had to be shared among all the members, but now it was different. All the credit for this alliance would be his.

Thinking about this, he could not help but feel a surge of joy from the bottom of his heart. However, the difficulty had also increased. After all, handling the affairs of an entire envoy group by himself was not easy. But if it were easy, the credit would not have fallen to him.
