As Huang Yao and the others quickened their pace along the corridor, trying to find an exit, fierce battles were already unfolding on the Yue Ma Plain below.
Nearly two thousand disciples from ten different Sects participating in the bandit extermination mission had finally realized the gravity of their situation after being ambushed repeatedly by large groups of Rogue Bandits. They had thought they were the hunters pursuing the Rogue Bandits, but as wave after wave of bandits appeared across the mountains and plains, they understood that they had already become the prey.
The ordinary Sect disciples suffered heavy casualties. Although they were quite skilled and among the elites of their respective Sects, they could not organize an effective resistance against the brutal onslaught of the Rogue Bandits and were ultimately killed one by one, meeting a tragic end on the Yue Ma Plain.
In the southeastern part of the plain, a bloody stench filled the air.
Looking around, corpses lay scattered everywhere; both Sect Disciples and Rogue Bandits had suffered severe losses.
Under the cover of night, the entire Yue Ma Plain seemed to have turned into a hell on earth.
Suddenly, a shadow soared high from a rising hill, hovering in mid-air. After letting out a series of eerie cackles, the shadow abruptly spread a pair of pitch-black wings.
At the moment the wings unfurled, thick black mist spread like a dragon or serpent from between them, quickly enveloping the entire sky.
"Very good, these humans have decent potential. Their flesh and blood will all belong to me!"
After a wild laugh, the shadow flapped its wings. At that moment, Demonic Energy swept downwards and exploded upon nearing the ground, transforming into countless streams that slithered across the ground like small snakes!
The small snakes formed from Demonic Energy seemed to possess intelligence. Upon finding a human corpse, they emitted joyful hisses before burrowing into its head.
An eerie scene unfolded.
The long-dead human corpse began to shrivel and wither at an astonishing speed after being invaded by the Demonic Energy snakes. In no time at all, it turned into a desiccated husk.
When the originally pitch-black Demonic Energy snakes emerged from atop the desiccated corpse again, they bore a faint hint of crimson.
Having absorbed the flesh and blood essence of humans, the Demonic Energy snakes leaped up and soared straight into the black shadow's outstretched wings.
The ground was littered with the corpses of at least six or seven thousand humans. Each blood-red serpent that merged into the black wings would leave a trace of blood on the dark feathers.
In the end, the pitch-black wings, measuring over a hundred feet in length and width, were stained red by the blood-colored serpents to a third of their surface.
The shadow let out a comfortable sound, seemingly enjoying the sensation of devouring flesh and essence.
At that moment, a young man in a white shirt, who looked almost indistinguishable from a human, swooped out from the hillside.
The young man glanced at the shadow that was frantically consuming flesh and essence, frowned slightly, and instead of showing any fear, he mocked, "Tu Fei, you are a dignified Sky Blood Demon. Can't you have some ambition? Just some Origin Martial Realm human flesh can satisfy you so much!"
"Bailuo, as a White-faced Night Demon, you absorb just as many souls as I do. What right do you have to mock me here?" the shadow retorted coldly.
The young man in white waved his hand dismissively. "I don't want to waste time with you. The boss has sent word that the entrance to Titan's Abyss has been found. Are you planning to continue devouring flesh and essence here or come with me to Titan's Abyss?"
"What? This godforsaken place actually hides Titan's Abyss?" The shadow was taken aback for a moment, then let out a strange cry, retracting its wings into its body. Its massive form gradually shrank until it transformed into a middle-aged man dressed in black.
"Of course! If there were no Titan's Abyss, do you think the boss would waste time here? A mere Blue Stream Villa thinks it can monopolize the treasures of Titan's Abyss; it's simply asking for death!" The young man in white snorted coldly. "Tu Fei, go summon the followers back. The remaining human Sect Disciples won't amount to much. Titan's Abyss is what matters; Blue Stream Villa is already deserted. Old Man Lan has probably entered the Underground Palace!"
"That bastard Azure Cloud Wind injured me last time, forcing me to absorb the flesh of ten thousand Origin Martial Realm humans just to recover. This time, I won't let him escape!"
"Azure Cloud Wind is still a Xuanwu Realm Martial Saint who has mastered Wind Element domain. Do you really think you can handle him?" Bailuo scoffed.
"Had it not been for you watching from the sidelines and refusing to join forces with me back then, Azure Cloud Wind wouldn't have been able to injure me!" The middle-aged man known as Tu Fei huffed.
"Enough talk! Killing Azure Cloud Wind and destroying Blue Stream Villa is just the beginning. Do you really think our current strength can compete with those Heavenly Level Sects among humans? Have you forgotten the lessons from Shadow Demon Cult?"
Upon hearing this, Tu Fei's face paled slightly as a wave of deep-seated fear washed over him.
"If it weren't for Lord Shura Demon King being suppressed..." Tu Fei said fiercely.
"What good is it to say such nonsense now!" Bailuo interrupted immediately. "Hurry up and summon the followers; I'll go ahead."
With a flash, the young man in white disappeared from the spot.
"What a piece of work! Just because he has the boss's favor, he dares to act arrogant in front of me!" Sky Blood Demon cursed inwardly. Although he felt extremely displeased, he did not dare to defy Bailuo's orders and turned back towards the hill.
Behind the hill, many white tents were neatly arranged. Inside and outside the tents, some people were lying down resting, some were polishing their weapons, and others were quietly chatting, each busy with their own matters.
They were ragged but had fierce expressions, clearly not ordinary warriors; they were the Cult Remnants who had been hunting down Sect Disciples.
When Tu Fei appeared, this group of people immediately stood up to pay their respects, their demeanor extremely respectful.
"Bring everyone back; ignore the remaining Sect Disciples. The Evil God has a new mission for you!" Tu Fei, filled with resentment, naturally did not show these people a good face.
"By the command of the Holy Master, we will summon them back immediately!" An elder draped in white animal skin stepped out of a tent and replied respectfully.
"Notify them to return here within an hour; otherwise, let their Divine Souls be sacrificed to the Evil God!" After Tu Fei dropped this statement, he turned and left directly.
Tu Fei was not worried that these followers would disobey; what he was most concerned about was that Bailuo would reach Titan's Abyss before him and the boss.
Who didn't know that Titan's Abyss was filled with countless treasures? If they got there first and divided everything among themselves, he would suffer a huge loss.
Since the boss's subordinates would definitely take these followers away, it would be better for him to hurry and meet up with Bailuo and the others first.
Thinking of this, Tu Fei became increasingly anxious and simply transformed back into his original form, spreading a pair of enormous black wings and soaring through the air.
Behind the hill.
The old man draped in white beast skin squinted at the figure streaking across the sky, addressing the two middle-aged men supporting him, "You all heard the Lord's words just now, right? Hurry up and call them back!"
One of the scarred middle-aged men replied in a deep voice, "Elder Yang, why should we listen to him? What nonsense Lord? He is just a dog from the Demon Realm. They have used us for so many years, and now they still want to try to manipulate us!"
Elder Yang sighed, his face wrinkling into a frown as he said sadly, "Back when the Master was around, they still had some fear of him. The Master knew their origins; it was just mutual exploitation. However, times have changed. After that battle, our Evil Cult suffered heavy losses; even the Master and ten Core Elders have Fallen. Otherwise, these clowns wouldn't dare act so arrogantly in front of us!"
"Why not just fight them to the death? It’s better than becoming cannon fodder for their attack on the Righteous Path Sect!" the scarred man said fiercely.
"Attack the Righteous Path Sect? They don’t have the guts for that. You know well that they wouldn’t dare offend even a small Blue Stream Villa easily, let alone the Top Ten Heavenly Sects. Enough! Go call our brothers back; let’s see what treasures are hidden in that Underground Palace."
Elder Yang gasped for breath and coughed repeatedly, appearing very weak as if he might lose his life with another word.
The scarred man, Qin Protector, could only nod and leave upon receiving his orders.
Once Qin Protector was out of earshot, another middle-aged man with a dark complexion frowned slightly. He took out a pale blue pill from a jade box and handed it to Elder Yang.
"Qin De has been increasingly restless lately; he will ruin our grand plans sooner or later!"
"It’s fine; he’s just a bit straightforward. As long as we don’t reveal that matter to him, he won’t be able to ruin our plans," the old man pushed the pill back and shook his head. "The Nine Flames True Essence within me can still be suppressed for now; there’s no need to waste an Essence Pill!"
The middle-aged man could only put the pill back into the jade box and store it away after his futile persuasion.
"Elder Yang, have you notified Heavenly Mechanism Sect?" The old man glanced around and lowered his voice.
"The three Celestial Peak Sects and seven Earth-Level Sects within Sky Abyss Empire have all received our message. I believe it won't be long before news of Titan's Abyss emerging will shake the entire Sky Abyss Empire!"
"Very good! Very good!" The old man smiled slightly as he hunched back into the tent, murmuring, "The treasures of Titan's Abyss are not so easy to obtain. When the Evil God's messenger arrives later, make sure to treat him well; buy us some time!"
"Understood!" The middle-aged man nodded in response.
Three hours later, in the Underground Corridor, Huang Yao finally realized something was wrong.
Just as Cheng Ze had said, they seemed to be going in circles. Identical murals swept past them, and no matter how fast they moved, there was no end in sight.
"If Brother Zhou were here, he would surely see the flaw!" Zong Nan said with a bitter smile.
Huang Yao was already feeling anxious. His goal was to separate Ye Feng's physical body from Soul Thought, but he never expected this corridor to be trapped by some kind of Restriction. No matter how they moved, it felt like they were stuck in place.
Unfortunately, this corridor had only one path, going straight ahead, with no branches or turns possible.
"How can there be such a bizarre Restriction!" Huang Yao frowned.
"Why not just break through the walls on either side of the corridor? Maybe we can escape!" Huang Ge shouted angrily.
He understood Huang Yao's plan; if they didn't get Ye Feng's physical body out of there, the plan couldn't succeed.
