Cai Burin and Shunshen Song Shuping both trembled in confusion and said, "For it? But hasn't it always been said that it was for revenge against the last invasion of the Demon Clan?"
Evil and Malicious easily accepted this idea: "People die for wealth. Birds die for food!"
"That's right," Wang Long sighed, "Both of you are aware of the intelligence of the Ancient Colossal Deity. They are certainly not the kind of beings who would gamble with the fate of the divine race just for a moment's impulse. After all, in such a short time, they could not possibly have a completely new assessment of the current Demon Clan. Moreover, if they truly wanted to retaliate, why didn't they release such news immediately after being attacked? At that time, the divine race's hatred towards the Demon Clan was even greater, and their morale was higher. So when I first heard this news, I suspected there was something strange about it."
Song Shuping pondered and said, "This also explains why the Demon Clan set up so many Low-Level Demons earlier without any Ancient Demons or traps. Because that was originally meant to attract the attention of the divine race, while their actual experts were dispersed across a vast area. As long as this treasure appears in the world, they can rush over to seize it at the first opportunity."
Cai Burin chuckled and said, "If that's the case, then let's not just stand around. Looking at the momentum of that light, that treasure must be extraordinary. Hehe, for us, it's better for such a treasure to fall into our hands than anyone else's, right?"
"If you have that kind of mindset, Cai Burin, then we will definitely meet a miserable end this time," Wang Long remarked lightly.
"Uh? Why?"
Wang Long revealed a fox-like smile: "Precisely because the authentic target that both sides—gods and demons—are eager for has now appeared, this is our best opportunity to fish in troubled waters! Evil and Malicious, this time I need you to delay all the experts from the Demon Clan passing through here for a bit so we can figure out what's going on."
Evil and Malicious nodded.
Wang Long smiled wryly and said, "But remember to prioritize your own safety; don't get so caught up in killing that you forget your own danger."
After Evil and Malicious impatiently sent Wang Long and his group away, he stood atop a giant rock, slightly closing his eyes to sense the vibrations of Spiritual Essence around him. Suddenly, he vanished from his spot in an instant.
Meanwhile, a Demon Lord from the Demon Clan was rushing forward at high speed, hoping to be the first to reach the Extraordinary Treasure and earn great merit for Brahma Demon King. If Brahma Demon King was pleased, he might even impart deeper demonic skills to him, giving him a chance to become an Ancient Demon Lord!
However, while he was daydreaming and hurrying along, he suddenly felt a movement in his heart and looked to his left.
But it was already too late!
When he merely saw a blurry shadow rushing towards his face, intending to defend himself, a sharp pain struck his head. He was sent flying by a powerful force.
Evil and Malicious did not rush to pursue after landing not far away but instead slowly approached the Demon Lord who was lying on the ground and could not even stand up for a moment.
"You, who are you? How did you end up here?"
The Demon Lord certainly understood what it meant for someone to block his path. There could be no other reason than to kill him—except that the "treasure" was still shining with golden light in the distance.
However, what puzzled him was how this individual could have breached the tight defenses of the demon front lines and infiltrated deep into their territory amidst the fierce battle between the gods and demons. If anyone could so easily enter the Demon Clan territory as if it were unguarded, then what secrets would their operation hold?
Moreover, if the divine clan truly had such capabilities, they would not have been able to launch a surprise attack against them.
Little did they know that the Shunshen Song Shuping, which had disappeared for thousands of years, had reappeared this time. Otherwise, they would have certainly sent the Demon Lord himself to the front lines for vigilance.
Now—Evil and Malicious was too lazy to answer his question and simply revealed a sinister smile as he slowly walked toward him. He deliberately walked slowly, seemingly deriving great pleasure from sensing the suppressed despair and pain emanating from these "Evil and Malicious" Demon Clan members.
"You, who exactly are you? Don't come closer! Don't come closer... ah!!!!"
A flock of birds was startled in the Valley, but quickly returned to calmness.
Three figures suddenly appeared here. Looking at the tragic corpse on the ground, the expressions of the three Demon Lords were extremely grave.
"What... who did this?!"
"Has someone from the divine clan gotten so close? But judging by the method, it doesn't seem like it was done by someone from the divine clan."
"In any case, this matter must be reported to several Ancient Demon Lords. You two stay here and secure this place; I will return immediately to report."
The three quickly assigned their tasks. However, they never expected that the real culprit had not left; instead, he was lurking nearby, coldly observing them and waiting for them to reveal a fatal flaw!
As they approached the center of the spreading light, Wang Long and his companions encountered more and more members of the Demon Clan. At this moment, he truly witnessed the formidable power of the Demon Clan, which was willing to disperse such strong forces as a "fishing net." It was indeed extravagant!
Fortunately, with Shunshen's presence, and now that their group had reduced to three, Shunshen could directly place his hands on Wang Long and Cai Burin's shoulders and instantly transport them elsewhere. Otherwise, Wang Long suspected they would have already been exposed.
Looking at the vast expanse of the Demon Clan, Wang Long waved his hand to signal Shunshen to stop moving.
"We must take action now," Wang Long pointed below and sighed, "If their target along with the Divine Clan is indeed aimed at that unknown Extraordinary Treasure, then the Demon Clan's strategy has already succeeded. The Divine Clan has been successfully delayed in the distance. If we don't think of a way, the Extraordinary Treasure will surely fall into the hands of the Demon Clan, and our plan to seize victory amidst the chaos will be completely ruined."
"I think there's no rush on this matter, and you might be underestimating the strength and intelligence of several Ancient Divine Clans," Shunshen Song Shuping said. Although he wasn't as direct as Cai Burin in his speech, when it came to such decisions, he spoke frankly to Wang Long, shaking his head. "I can assure you that even though this Extraordinary Treasure has appeared within the territory of the Demon Clan, it can certainly be predicted very accurately in advance. Thus, while the Divine Army may be delayed by the demons, they can find various ways to push through. We should continue observing the situation here before making a decision."
Before Wang Long could respond, he suddenly felt a stirring in his heart. He and Song Shuping along with Cai Burin immediately crouched down cautiously.
At that moment, an immense and overwhelming aura suddenly filled the air without warning.
Then they heard all those Demon Clan members respectfully shout a name that sent chills down their spines: "We pay our respects to His Highness Brahma Demon King!"
