Xu Chuan, relying on the Heaven Deceiving Jade Talisman, concealed himself, Ning Youci, and the jade rabbit, and approached the entrance to the Demon Realm.
Using a token obtained from the demons, they successfully infiltrated the realm.
Within the Demon Realm, demonic energy obscured the sun and the sky, but it lacked the malevolent and murderous aura found outside. It was pure and perfectly suited for the survival of the demon race.
"As expected of the Demon Realm!"
Xu Chuan sighed in awe.
To have established such a vast Demon Realm under everyone's gaze, the top experts of the demon race were truly terrifying.
At this moment, they were hidden in a secluded forest tens of miles away from the main gate.
Demonic patrols occasionally passed by them.
It could be said that the moment the Heaven Deceiving Jade Talisman's effect wore off, they would be exposed with absolute certainty.
Xu Chuan pondered how to proceed to avoid greater danger.
...
On the other side.
In the central hall of the Demon Realm, a dim light burned with an ethereal glow.
Under this light, the hall appeared even more gloomy and sinister.
"Lord, for what purpose have you summoned your subordinate?"
A demon with a cultivation at the ninth level of the Reincarnation Realm knelt on one knee, respectfully addressing the empty throne in the hall.
"Buzz buzz..."
After he finished speaking, a buzzing sound filled the hall, and then a chilling aura emerged from the throne.
Slowly, this aura coalesced into a demonic figure. He lay lazily on the throne, looking down at his subordinate.
His pair of crimson eyes flickered with a sinister and cold light, appearing quite eerie.
This demon was none other than the Lord of the Demon Realm, the only demon whose cultivation had reached the extreme of the Reincarnation Realm, but whose true strength was that of a great demon at the seventh level of the Heaven-Connecting Realm.
"Mo Wu! This King has been feeling uneasy these past few days..."
"Have the demonic squads sent out brought back any news?"
His deep, hoarse voice sounded grating.
However, there was an undeniable authority within this voice, making it impossible for the demon below to harbor any thought of resistance.
The demon addressed as Mo Wu replied in a deep voice, "Lord, they have returned, but they did not discover the perpetrator. They only found the corpses of slain demons and a group of human corpses."
The Demon Lord did not continue questioning. He tapped his fingers rhythmically on the throne, as if contemplating something.
Seeing this, Mo Wu said to him, "My Lord, why worry about this matter? Even if humans can enter, they will only be some in the Reincarnation Realm, and their numbers will not be too great."
"Our Demon Realm has a vast number of demons in the Reincarnation Realm; we can crush them with sheer numbers!"
"Moreover, with you here, my Lord, these humans cannot stir up any significant trouble!"
Hearing Mo Wu's words, the Demon Lord let out a deep sigh of relief.
He continued in his hoarse voice, "What you say is not without reason. However, even so, we must not be careless."
"How about this: for the next few days, you will increase the patrol intensity within the Demon Realm. I fear that some humans may be disguised as demons and have infiltrated the realm."
"Once any human traces are found, immediately annihilate them. Do not let any escape, do you hear me!"
Towards the end, the Demon Lord's tone grew increasingly stern, and a cold glint flashed in his scarlet eyes.
As his words fell, Mo Wu respectfully replied, "Yes, your subordinate obeys!"
With that, he bowed and left the hall.
His every movement perfectly illustrated the hierarchy among demons.
Lesser demons dared not show any disrespect to their superiors.
After Mo Wu departed, the Demon Lord on the throne slowly stood up, the coldness in his eyes intensifying.
"No one... can disrupt the awakening of Great Ancestor Demon! No one!"
"Those who dare to obstruct my plan will die!"
His hoarse voice echoed in the empty hall, but only he could hear it.
...
At this time, Xu Chuan and Ning Youci were still hidden in that forest.
"Time is running out. We must begin our action!"
Xu Chuan frowned and said in a deep voice.
As his cultivation increased, the duration for which the Heaven Deceiving Jade Talisman could conceal them grew shorter.
If they wanted to disrupt the Demon Lord's plan, they could only infiltrate the demon hall and kill the Demon Lord.
Only in this way could they prevent the resurrection of Great Ancestor Demon.
Additionally, Xu Chuan had a plan in mind that he had not yet revealed to Ning Youci.
He now possessed the Myriad Spirit Cauldron, a primordial spiritual treasure comparable to a sixth-tier Emperor Weapon. Perhaps he could use it to refine Great Ancestor Demon, and in doing so, he would gain immense benefits!
The reason he hadn't spoken was twofold: he didn't want to expose the existence of the Myriad Spirit Cauldron, and he wasn't certain if the Myriad Spirit Cauldron could refine it, especially since many Emperor Lords in the past had failed to kill it and could only seal it away.
"Let's go!"
With the remaining time of the Heaven Deceiving Jade Talisman, they had to hurry towards the demon hall.
Ning Youci nodded, obeying Xu Chuan's commands entirely.
She trusted Xu Chuan completely and had no doubt that this was not a trap.
"Whoosh!"
Using the technique of the Golden Crow Transforming into Rainbow, Xu Chuan and Ning Youci turned into streaks of light and flew towards their target.
For convenience, Ning Youci had already stored the Lunar Jade Rabbit in her storage space.
She naturally possessed means to store living creatures.
A few dozen breaths later, Xu Chuan and Ning Youci arrived at a plain.
From here, the silhouette of the demon hall could already be seen.
Many demon tribes lived on the plain.
There were succubi, shadow demons, and fallen demons that Xu Chuan had encountered before, as well as other demon races he had not seen.
Their numbers were vast.
Upon reaching this point, the Heaven Deceiving Jade Talisman lost its effect, and Xu Chuan and Ning Youci's figures immediately reappeared.
A patrol of demon soldiers ahead immediately discovered the two.
"Who are you? Don't you know flying is forbidden within the Demon Realm?"
"Whoosh!"
Before the leading demon soldier could react, Xu Chuan once again took Ning Youci and disappeared from their sight like a streak of light.
"What happened?"
These demon soldiers exchanged bewildered glances. What kind of speed was this?
They had vanished into the sky before they could even react!
After a long while, they finally regained their senses. The leading demon soldier's face suddenly turned ashen.
"Quick, quickly report to Lord Mo Wu that humans have invaded the Demon Realm!"
He shouted loudly to the demons behind him.
In the strictly hierarchical demon race, their patrol unit held significant authority. Few demons dared to show them disrespect, and they had never encountered anyone who dared to ignore them.
Therefore, there was only one truth!
That humans had truly infiltrated the Demon Realm!
He had only just realized this, which was why he was so terrified.
If Lord Mo Wu found out that he had let humans escape, the consequences...
This demon shuddered at the thought, feeling his whole body tremble.
