He's lying!

Creak!——

The moment the sound of the door opening broke the silence of the room, Tony raised his head and looked at it with a cautious expression.

"Hey, Tony, I managed to get you a plate of food."

Seeing that it was just Jeff, Tony slightly lowered his guard.

The first thing he noticed when Jeff entered, was the plate full of delicacies, which made him swallow unconsciously.

Cough!——

Cough!——

Cough!——

"Fuck! I forgot that I had straw in my mouth!"

Jeff looked towards Tony, with some sympathy and passed him a glass of water that came with the food.

Tony took it and quickly gulped down half of the glass of water.

While he was drinking, he kept the corner of his eye on Jeff, and he noticed that Jeff's walking posture was straight and he looked fully healed!

'What the heck did this kid do while he was outside?'

'It has only been half an hour at most, how can he gain XP so quickly?'

The moment he put down the glass of water, Jeff handed him the plate of food.

After hesitating for a moment, Tony still chose to eat the food.

He took a single bite and turned into a starving ghost, he started inhaling the food like someone who had been hungry for days.

Seeing this scene, Jeff raised an eyebrow in surprise, but he didn't pay too much attention to it.

'Maybe the body he possessed was starving?'

Creak!——

When the door was fully opened, the sect leader, the three elders, and Jacob, laid their eyes on Tony.

Tony who also raised his head when he heard the sound of the door, also laid his eyes on the group of people standing outside.

His pupils shrank involuntarily, and he forcefully stopped himself from eating.

Unfortunately for him, he had already swallowed a dozen mouthfuls of meat, and had started to heal rapidly.

Under their astonished eyes, the sect leader and the other elders saw the bruises quickly disappearing from Tony's face.

The fourth elder made a sudden move with his left hand, and the bandages on Tony's body were torn open.

Tony felt flustered and confused.

'Is that the sect leader and the elders?'

'What the heck are these big shots doing here?'

'Fuck! I am going to be exposed!'

'This must be Coby's fault! He must have sold me out after he was caught!'

The elders watched as Tony's wounds close at a speed visible to the naked eye, they watched as the scabs fell off, and the scars disappeared from his body.

The third elder even stepped forward to inject his true energy into Tony's body to check on his internal injuries.

"Although his healing has stopped, most of his injuries have disappeared, and he can make a full recovery after resting for a day or two."

The rest of the men were shocked, and the fourth elder stepped forward to personally check for himself.

"A day is too long, it won't take that long for him to be fully healed,"

"Like I have told you before, as long as we demons act in line with our unique demonic nature, we can easily become stronger."

"As long as Tony continues to eat, he might be fully healed before finishing this plate of food."

"This is too evil! By telling this to us your secrets, aren't you afraid that we will kill you right here and now?"

The bald fourth elder asked with a bit of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Jeff's heart skipped a beat, but he still forced a smile on his face and pretended to be calm.

Seeing that the fourth elders killing intent was aroused, the second elder quickly spoke up.

"Don't be impulsive, let's hear him out first, no matter what, they are weaker than us and we can kill them at any moment."

Seeing that the fourth elder had calmed down, Jeff tried to win the elders over.

"Like I have told you guys before, I exposed myself on my own initiative because I want to cooperate with you!"

"My demonic nature is related to protection, only by attaching myself to a single force and protecting it, can I become stronger."

"Now that countless demons have entered the mortal world, the world is going to be in chaos, only by relying on each other can we prosper."

Tony: ???

'You exposed yourself on your own initiative?'

'Are you crazy?'

'Don't expose yourself to the natives! That is literally the first rule on the guidelines taught in all schools!'

'What the heck are you thinking?'

'Most importantly, why do you have to drag me along?!'

While Tony's head was in a mess, Jeff continued to pitch his idea.

"Think about it, us demons can easily increase our strength very quickly, if we represent the Soaring Eagle sect at the martial arts competition, we will easily win some fame for the sect!"

When he heard this, the fourth elder's eyes narrowed slightly.

"So your strength grows very quickly? If your strength surpasses our strength one day, what will stop you from killing us and destroying our sect?"

Feeling several sharp gazes on him, Jeff wiped off some sweat and defended himself.

"One, my demonic nature is related to protection, only by protecting the sect can I continue to gain strength, so I won't do anything to harm the sect."

"Two…"

His voice was cutoff before he could continue.

"Don't listen to him, he just sold me out to you guys, who knows if his unique demonic nature is related to betrayal?"

"It is better to cooperate with me, you guys are already sure about the nature of my demonic nature, so you can control my strength by controlling my food intake."

At this point, Tony had already recovered his senses.

He realized that since the milk was already spilled, there was no use crying over it, and only by taking advantage of the situation could he continue to grow.

'I can't let this kid continue to surpass me!'

"If a demon goes against his demonic nature, then his strength will be reduced accordingly."

"Half an hour ago I was the object of Coby's protection, and yet now he has betrayed me!"

"You guys should think twice before deciding to cooperate with him."

'New information! So if I go against my keyword I should loose my strength?'

'Good thing I have two keywords!'

'As long as I betray the object I was protecting, I won't loose any strength!'

When the sect leader saw that there was actually some conflict between the two, he instantly became pleased.

The second elder whispered into his ear:

"If we cooperate with them, we can use one to balance and check the other."

The second elder nodded to show that he was thinking of the same idea, then he looked at Jeff with some suspicion and asked:

"You heard what this gentleman just said, what do you have to say for yourself."

"It might not show on the surface, but my strength did indeed just decrease, but this is a worthy sacrifice in order to protect the entire sect."

"Heh, then what will stop you from betraying us? If you can easily betray your fellow demon, how could you possibly take our cooperation seriously?"

The fourth elder sneered.

'Bro, why are you so against me?'

The sect leader felt like the fourth elder's argument did indeed have merits.

"It can't be said that I totally betrayed him, I am pulling him to work with me to make the sect stronger together."

"Sophistry!"

Tony was instantly pleased to see Jeff being grilled, and he sneakily took a bite of a chicken thigh.

"Even if you guys kill us, your sect will not remain unaffected by demons!"

"Do you really think that if you don't use us, that other sect won't use demons?"

"Your rivals might already be training demon warriors that will represent them in the martial arts competition."

"Are you guys willing to let the martial art techniques and precious medicine prizes from the Immovable Earth sect go to other sect?"

"Besides, us demons are not going to be in this world for a long time."

"Once the will of the world notices our presence, it will immediately expel us!"

"After we leave this world, all of our achievements will fall onto your heads!"

"Whether or not you can capitalize on this period of time and use us to raise the level of your sect is all up to you."

'This kid can really talk make up stories! I wish I this ability.'

'With such a slick tongue, the survivability in the alien battlefield will instantly be increased by half!'

When the men heard this, they glanced at Tony, who nodded in confirmation.

"Yes, we will be here for at most, three months, but I think you guys are better off killing this liar and only cooperating with me."

"Clearly ,Tony has deeply misunderstood me, only by all of us cooperating together, can we truly make this a win-win situation."

The two widened their eyes and looked at the sect leader, waiting for him to make a decision.
