With a swoosh, Xu Chuan took a step, already miles away.
Within this vast ancient battlefield, Xu Chuan began to walk at an astonishing speed, heading towards the center of the battlefield.
"It's said that traces of demons have appeared? Where are they?"
As he walked, Xu Chuan scanned his surroundings, searching for the demons hidden within the ancient battlefield, while also keeping an eye out for others.
In this ancient battlefield, the most terrifying thing was not the demons, but the people traveling with you!
One wrong move, and you might be backstabbed.
Although Xu Chuan was not afraid, it was always wise to be cautious.
However.
After searching for a long time, Xu Chuan found no trace of any demons, nor did he see anyone else.
This ancient battlefield was simply too vast, like a small world.
Even at Xu Chuan's current speed, it was unknown how long it would take to reach the center of this ancient battlefield.
"Hmm?"
Xu Chuan suddenly stopped and looked in a direction not far away.
"Such dense demonic energy!"
Xu Chuan was slightly surprised.
If the demonic energy in other places was a level of 1, then the demonic energy here was a level of 10.
The dense demonic energy gathered together, almost reaching a liquid state.
Thinking this, Xu Chuan quickened his pace and rushed towards that place.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xu Chuan appeared outside a cave.
Demonic energy was constantly gushing out of this cave, as if inexhaustible.
"Could this be the place where a powerful demon has fallen?"
Xu Chuan guessed in his heart.
He did not rush in rashly, fearing danger.
Xu Chuan observed the cave from the entrance.
Suddenly.
A strange aura began to spread.
In a daze, a wave of demonic energy mixed with killing intent, containing countless illusions, surged into Xu Chuan's mind.
"Human, die!"
"Must die!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Terrifying illusions attacked Xu Chuan.
For any other martial artist, even one in the Samsara Realm, they would likely be trapped in these illusions, unable to extricate themselves.
At any moment, their minds could falter, turning them into mere shells of their former selves.
Hidden in the shadows, a female demon dressed in a black skirt, with glimpses of snow-white skin exposed to the air, wore a satisfied smile upon seeing Xu Chuan engulfed by illusions.
"I didn't expect a human to appear here!"
"Once I capture this human and offer them to the Lord, it will surely be a great achievement!"
Perhaps thinking of the reward she would receive after presenting Xu Chuan, the female demon's smile widened, and every movement was filled with allure.
She slowly approached Xu Chuan, as if Xu Chuan were already within her grasp.
However.
The situation quickly changed.
With his divine ability to perceive all things, Xu Chuan was not afraid of these low-level illusions.
With a single glance, he saw through their essence.
Therefore, these illusions were of no use to him at all.
The reason he feigned being trapped by illusions was entirely to lure out the demon hidden in the shadows.
In fact, Xu Chuan had discovered the demon's presence the moment he approached the cave.
However, he had acted this way to avoid alerting the enemy.
Clearly, this female demon had not anticipated this.
At this moment.
The female demon knelt on both knees, her forehead pressed firmly to the ground, with a powerful foot crushing her head.
"My lord, spare me, my lord, spare me!"
The female demon immediately begged for mercy, disregarding her pride as a demon.
"Begging me for mercy?"
Xu Chuan chuckled.
This demon was truly interesting, begging a human for mercy.
Did she not know the deep-seated animosity between their two races?
However, Xu Chuan did not kill her immediately.
A demon at the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm was unlikely to cause any significant trouble.
"Now, I will ask you one question, and you will answer. If you dare to lie to me, then you can await your death."
Xu Chuan said indifferently to the female demon beneath his feet.
However, after saying this, he seemed to find it troublesome and shook his head.
"Forget it, soul-searching is more convenient."
With that, Xu Chuan lifted his foot, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up.
Their eyes met, and Xu Chuan's spiritual power directly penetrated her mind.
He forcefully searched her soul.
Having gone through it once before, Xu Chuan was now quite skilled at soul-searching.
Under Xu Chuan's powerful spiritual power, this female demon at the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm had no ability to resist at all.
"No!!"
"Spare me, spare me!"
Despair appeared on the female demon's face.
She could feel her mind and soul being penetrated by Xu Chuan, bit by bit.
This process was undoubtedly painful.
But she could do nothing.
Because, under Xu Chuan's suppression, she could not even self-destruct.
She could only watch helplessly as Xu Chuan searched her soul.
A moment later.
A thoughtful expression appeared on Xu Chuan's face.
He had obtained the information he wanted from the female demon's memories.
Especially concerning the number and strength of demons within this ancient battlefield.
From the female demon's memories, he learned that she was a native demon of this ancient battlefield.
And in the central area of the ancient battlefield, near the rift to the demon realm, a demon territory was hidden, undiscovered by anyone.
This female demon was from that demon territory, belonging to the succubus clan.
Succubi looked similar to humans and were most skilled in charm and mental illusions.
With her cultivation at the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm, she was only considered average in that demon territory.
After tens of thousands of years of development, the demon territory had a large population of demons, and their lord was a great demon who had reached the peak of the Samsara Realm.
If not for the limitations of the ancient battlefield's cultivation, he would have already broken through to the Heaven-Piercing Realm.
Recently, this great demon had been plotting something, unknown to anyone.
He had released many demons from the demon territory into the ancient battlefield.
This was why Ning Cangtian had only recently discovered traces of demons.
"What exactly are these demons trying to do?"
Xu Chuan stroked his chin, pondering silently.
After obtaining this information, Xu Chuan had essentially completed his mission and could choose to leave.
However, upon remembering that Ning Youci was still inside, and that the two protagonists of the script were also within this ancient battlefield, Xu Chuan was no longer in a hurry.
On one hand, he wanted to know what that great demon of the demon territory was up to.
On the other hand, where the protagonists of the script were, there were bound to be opportunities, and he wanted to intercept these opportunities.
Or, he could directly kill the two protagonists and merge their scripts.
These were all reasons for Xu Chuan to stay!
"Demon territory."
Xu Chuan looked up towards the depths of the ancient battlefield.
This place was still hundreds of thousands of miles away from the demon territory, and even if Xu Chuan traveled non-stop, it would take several days.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan was no longer in a hurry.
He planned to search for Ning Youci, Yang Sheng, and Chen Feng, while also investigating the demon territory!
