"That's a classic villain's parting remark before making an escape," Wang Long sighed, shaking his head.
"Everyone, don't celebrate too early," Shunshen's calm voice interrupted. "Abyssal Demon, I never expected that breaking the Gateway to the Abyss would also release you!"
A chill ran through the crowd. Aside from Evil and Malicious and Dao Lord Wu Jue, everyone else had heard Wang Long mention the Abyssal Demon and knew he was an Ancient Demon trapped deep in the Great Gobi by the divine beings long ago. Given their understanding of demonic nature, combined with the overwhelming destructive pressure they had just experienced, they quickly grasped the implications.
Although the Abyssal Demon had helped them defeat the Heavenly Slayer earlier, that did not mean he was on their side! If he turned against them now, with the power he had just displayed and their current state, who could withstand him?
"Hmph! If it weren't for Wang Long and your assistance in my escape, I would have made you bleed within five steps for that remark alone!"
The Abyssal Demon's words sent a shock through everyone, but at least it seemed he had no intention of attacking just yet.
"We certainly know your capabilities, Abyssal Demon. However, even if we must fight now, we won't simply stand by and wait for our doom!" Although Song Shuping felt relieved by his own words, the ingrained belief that gods and demons could not coexist kept his tone firm.
The Abyssal Demon sneered and turned his gaze to Wang Long and Jiang Xue. "I can't be bothered to waste time with you. You two kids, come here. I have a few words to say before I leave."
Without waiting for Wang Long or Jiang Xue to respond, he flew off to the side.
"Leader, are you really going over there? The Demon Clan is not only powerful but also notoriously cunning. Be careful; he might be trying to separate us and take us down one by one," the others gathered around Wang Long warned.
"While we may not be able to match him in strength right now, we at least have the ability to fight back," Dao Lord Wu Jue agreed with Song Shuping's caution.
"Hmph! Let me go with you. Even if he wants to turn against us, he'll have to get past me first!" Evil and Malicious scoffed at Dao Lord Wu Jue and Song Shuping's concerns.
"Stop arguing. Shunshen, I want to know why he said that breaking the seals on the Gateway to the Abyss would allow him to escape. How does he know about my feelings?"
Song Shuping sighed. "If I'm not mistaken, when the Holy Divine Gate trapped the Abyssal Demon, it linked the sealing formation with the Gateway to the Abyss's restrictions. So when we broke those restrictions, it gave him a chance to break free from his confinement. His power is astonishing; even the smallest opportunity will be seized by him!"
Wang Long pondered for a moment before decisively stating, "I see now. Then it will be Jiang Xue and me who meet with him. You all need not follow or obstruct us; if I'm correct, he truly means us no harm."
“Dragon Lord, are you being a bit too careless? Just now, he was threatening us with his strength; that can't possibly be a friendly gesture, can it?”
“That’s just his personality. Besides, anyone trapped for ten thousand years, regardless of their race, is bound to have some skewed thoughts,” Wang Long replied with a smile, nodding at Jiang Xue.
The two flew towards the Abyssal Demon.
“What should we do?” Cai Burin had finished tending to his wounds and approached, looking eager to take action. However, given his current state, he knew he wouldn’t be able to withstand even one attack from the enemy, so his tone was filled with excitement.
“Let it be,” Dao Lord Wu Jue said as he waved his long sleeves and put away his spirit sword. “Since even Wang Long has made a decision, we might as well wait and see. Even if we manage to rescue him this time, if his perspective isn’t up to par, then facing various powerful enemies will only lead to our downfall sooner or later.”
“What kind of thinking is that? Are you saying that in the future, even if we notice problems with Wang Long, we shouldn’t bring them up?” Cai Burin was greatly dissatisfied with this line of thought. He turned away and ignored any further explanation, focusing intently on Wang Long. The moment the Abyssal Demon made a move, he would charge in.
“I thought after escaping you would leave immediately. I didn’t expect you’d still have the leisure to help us fend off strong enemies and even want to chat with me,” Wang Long said slowly as he stood beside the Abyssal Demon.
“Hmph! I do plan to leave here soon, but it’s not about fleeing! I just don’t want to settle accounts with those divine beings right now! Regardless, you and I have some ties; if I go on a killing spree here, it might make things difficult for you in the future. And when have I, the Abyssal Demon, ever been ungrateful?”
“That can’t be! Who are you that would do such a thing?” Wang Long squinted at him.
What he valued most in life were those who repaid kindness.
“Just don’t know how you plan to repay me,” he continued.
Wang Long wasn’t a greedy person; as long as the Abyssal Demon could endure a bit and serve as his enforcer for a hundred years, he would be satisfied…
“Didn’t I already repay you? If it weren’t for my intervention, do you think you could have dealt with that Heavenly Slayer?” The Abyssal Demon said matter-of-factly, striking down Wang Long’s expectations.
“Is that it? Just like that?”
“What else do you want? You didn’t come here specifically to free me; you just wanted to unlock the benefits of the Gateway to the Abyss.”
"Uh." Wang Long truly had nothing to say. Moreover, the other party's strength was evident; it was already a blessing that he wasn't seeking trouble, so how could he dare to provoke him?
"Alright, I don't have much time, so I won't waste it on useless talk." The Abyssal Demon pointed towards the horizon. "This time, you have completely offended the Heavenly Slayer, who is an important figure in the Game God Sect. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Game God Sect's base is in the Northern Qian Mountain Range, as its influence seems absent here. However, he is one of the Ancient Colossal Deities projecting into the Void, and his influence over the entire divine race, especially among the Four Major Sects, is significant. If he decides to play some tricks on you, combined with your non-divine status, you will become mortal enemies of the divine race! You should prepare for such a situation beforehand. Otherwise, you won't just struggle to establish yourselves in the divine realm; even if you return to the Zero Realm, you won't last long. If anything comes up later, you can find me, but of course, that depends on whether you can contact me."
Wang Long asked curiously, "So where are you planning to go? This area seems to be dominated by the divine race; it won't be easy for you to return to the Demon Clan's territory."
The Abyssal Demon sneered. "Do you think that even if I successfully return to the controlled territory of the Demon Clan, I would be able to live comfortably? After Brahma unified the Demon Clan, there is no longer a place for me there. Hmph! If it weren't for needing to gather more Spiritual Essence due to this concern, I wouldn't have let that Heavenly Slayer escape so easily from my grasp! Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Young girl, come here."
Wang Long was taken aback; she couldn't quite grasp what the Abyssal Demon had just said. However, it seemed like he had some unresolved grievances with the current leader of the Demon Clan, Brahma Demon King. Nevertheless, this could be considered good news for Wang Long and her companions.
Jiang Xue immediately floated to his side upon hearing the Abyssal Demon's call.
"Girl! Your talent in Illusion techniques is truly remarkable. Even among the top masters of Illusion I have known before at your age, none could match your achievements. Thus, even I can't help but feel a sense of admiration for your talent. Let me tell you something: although your Illusion skills are impressive now, they are ineffective against ancient masters. Their resistance to Illusion is far beyond what those masters you've encountered before can compare with. If you want to surpass your current level, you must understand one principle—only by immersing your heart in your own illusions while maintaining an external perspective with your Spiritual Awareness can you achieve true mastery of Illusion. Even an Ancient Colossal Deity like the Heavenly Slayer would not dare underestimate your Illusion! Alright! I can only give you this outline; the rest you must explore on your own."
Jiang Xue trembled all over; although the Abyssal Demon hadn't said much, for her who was desperately searching for direction in developing her Shen Walking Dragon Technique within the divine realm without success, this insight was invaluable. She felt immense gratitude towards the Abyssal Demon. "Regardless, this advice has greatly benefited me; I thank you sincerely."
With that, Jiang Xue bowed gracefully to the Abyssal Demon.
