Now both of them were staring blankly. They had thought that they would be able to see the deities, the Giant Gods, here, and that they should already be engaged in battle with the Demon Clan’s Ancient Demon Lords. At such a time, they wouldn’t need to look for any targets; they could just charge into wherever the fighting was most intense.
But it was nothing like that now.
Originally, they were extremely reluctant to continue following Death Abyss, but it seemed they really couldn’t part from it now. At least, given its purposeful demeanor, it was much better than the two of them stumbling around aimlessly here.
However, no matter what, they didn’t have to worry about being discovered by the Demon Clan ahead of time. They didn’t know what kind of spirit Wang Long had summoned; he had clearly driven off those Demon Lords, yet now he was instead concerned about the Demon Lord of the Great Blade.
Song Shuping could only sigh; this one was truly “extraordinary.”
While Wang Long and his companion were pondering what tricks the Demon Clan would use against the already discovered Death Abyss, they noticed some Demon Clan scouts nearby.
“Hey, Shunshen, don’t look so wronged. I think this image isn’t bad at all; it’s much more convenient for moving around.”
“Not bad? You call this not bad?” Song Shuping found himself most intolerant of Wang Long’s aesthetic sense.
Now both of them had changed into new outfits. They wore Demon Clan attire and had smeared their faces with dirt to disguise themselves as lower-ranking warriors of the Demon Clan.
After all, this was also the territory of the Demon Clan, and dressing like this made things much easier.
However, for Song Shuping, who belonged to the divine race, it was a completely different story. If they were high-ranking demons, that would be one thing, but thinking about those “lowly” ones, which were hardly better than beasts—the Low-Level Demons—combined with his current appearance smeared with dirt and grime made him feel an overwhelming sense of disgust as a “scholar” of the divine race!
“Of course it’s not bad! Just think about it: if we keep following behind that Death Abyss, even if we aren’t discovered, it severely restricts our ability to gather intelligence on the Demon Clan. But now we can move freely; just this point alone gives us a huge advantage. And don’t forget, we didn’t come here for sightseeing; if you feel a bit uncomfortable, just bear with it. Let’s head that way.”
“You!” Seeing that Wang Long completely ignored his discomfort and moved on, Song Shuping felt trapped on a sinking ship and couldn’t get off.
He could only curse inwardly that he should have brought someone else along while reluctantly following behind.
“You two! Why are you running so fast?”
A voice sounded from behind them, while two captain-level warriors from the Demon Clan blocked their path ahead.
"Not running, huh? When we were patrolling over there, we caught a whiff of a foul smell. It must have been some snakes passing by. If we had run any slower, we might have ended up as food for that Death Abyss! It's not as simple as you say."
"Oh? So soon?" The Demon Clan's alert network had been completely shattered by the Death Abyss and had not been able to reorganize since. Even if they managed to gather information about it, there was no way it would reach warriors like them stationed at the lower levels. Therefore, these individuals were powerless to discern the truth of Wang Long's words.
Not to mention that most of what Wang Long said was true; he had just played with the timing of the Death Abyss's passage.
"Sigh! You captains have no idea how terrifying it is! We only caught a glimpse of its shadow from afar and didn't even charge in like our elder did, yet we already felt an overwhelming pressure. We couldn't even move! Luckily, we managed to escape back."
With Wang Long embellishing the story, several Demon Clan captains lost interest in questioning whether their sudden appearance was suspicious and focused entirely on Wang Long's words.
"What exactly happened? You said your elder went in—how many? How did it go?"
"Sigh! Don't mention it. If our elder could defeat it, would we still need to run? Now they're all missing, but one thing is certain: those who foolishly tried to surround that Death Abyss—regardless of whether they were skilled or not—were practically seeking death."
"This!" The captains gasped in shock. "What do we do now? Did you two attract it while escaping here? We don't even have an elder here; if it comes our way, what will we do?"
"What? There's not even an elder here?" Wang Long feigned surprise, but he had already scanned the surroundings with Spiritual Essence. "So how are we going to fight this battle? Forget it; we're not going to waste time with you. You all should step aside quickly; it's not safe here either, so let's keep moving inward."
"Wait a minute, brothers," the several Demon Clan Squad Leaders looked at Wang Long and his companion anxiously wanting to leave. They were so worried that they didn't care whether their positions were higher or lower than Wang Long's; they almost bowed down to him in desperation. "If you leave, we won't be able to hold on either. How about this: the entire defense line here has already been breached by that Death Abyss, and we haven't received any orders from the Demon Lords. We can't just sit here and wait for death. If you want to escape inward, we'll stick with you!"
Wang Long and Song Shuping exchanged glances; they hadn't expected such a suggestion from them.
It seemed that having too much acting skill wasn't always a good thing!
However, if they refused now, it would seem suspicious. Reluctantly, they could only nod in agreement. While reminding Song Shuping not to reveal anything, Wang Long engaged them in conversation to gather information about the surrounding area.
What he guessed correctly was that this time the Brahma Demon King had indeed not punished the Demon Lord of the Great Blade and had even allowed him to redeem himself. Although he hadn't truly handed over the entire outer defense line as he claimed, he had directly assigned him an elite team of skilled warriors so he could operate freely in this area under the title of deputy commander.
Wang Long took a deep breath, simultaneously feeling grateful for the Death Abyss. If it weren't for the destruction it caused in this area, they would have likely fallen victim to the meticulously laid traps of their opponents. If they had gotten involved in a few more significant matters, the Demon Clan might not have been able to maintain their information flow, allowing them to "escape" for a few days more easily.
With this thought in mind, they no longer hesitated or doubted. Wang Long was too lazy to haggle with them and directly pulled them all into his team. However, he made it clear that regardless of their previous ranks, they would all listen to him first, and they could discuss things further when they encountered powerful figures like the Demon Lord.
With this identity, Wang Long spoke more "equally" with these captains. He gathered various pieces of information while adjusting the entire team's direction based on their intel.
"Hey brother, why are we veering off course? At this rate, can we even meet up with most of the others?" one oblivious captain asked.
"Cut it out! What do you know? Do you think we're going to confront the Divine Clan right now? If we run into those Demon Lords early on, do you think that's a good thing? Just think about it; there are countless Ancient Beasts and several master-level experts from the Divine Clan! Those are the levels that our Demon King Brahma personally deals with! Even if we go, it would be pointless. But when orders come down, we can't refuse! Where else can we enjoy ourselves like this now?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one dared to speak out again.
Their hatred for the Divine Clan was indeed profound, but it hadn't reached the point of losing their rationality. After all, living was far more valuable than dying without purpose.
Unbeknownst to them, Wang Long had consciously steered the conversation towards the extraordinary phenomena that occurred when the Extraordinary Treasure first appeared. He discussed where the golden light was located and what areas the upper echelons of the Demon Clan had prioritized searching recently and any subsequent modifications. By analyzing these details from ordinary Demon Clan warriors, Wang Long wove a brand-new network in his mind, ensuring that the location of the Extraordinary Treasure would not stray far from those key points!
Now, as soon as several major masters from the Divine Clan appeared and both sides—or rather several sides—engaged in battle, he would have the opportunity to verify these key points directly. By then, these Demon Clan warriors around him wouldn't even be able to catch a glimpse of their shadows.
