"Then how about this? Waiting idly is definitely not a solution. I will personally take our elders from the Holy Divine Gate to see what tricks Victory Over Heaven is trying to pull. True Navigator, you can stay behind with the Xuanmen experts to guard the camp, how about that?"
Jiang Xue reminded, "Shouldn't the Evil Extermination Sect send someone as well? With such a big commotion, they haven't even sent a single messenger yet, which is quite concerning."
"Please, what's there to be concerned about? The Evil Extermination Sect has stood for millennia; do you think they can be easily toppled? Even we at the Holy Divine Gate don't have that kind of capability. They wouldn't stand a chance even if we lent them ten thousand experts."
True Navigator mediated, "Alright, Heaven's Binding, don't hold onto your anger. We still need to be cautious. I'll send two of my disciples to check it out. Jiang Xue, position your army on the left side to serve as a stronghold. If the Demon Clan retaliates, be very careful. If there's any emergency, feel free to call for our assistance."
"Don't worry, True Navigator. I may not be able to speak up to others, but I certainly won't treat you differently."
The Heavenly Binding Sect Master was someone who acted decisively. After discussing with Jiang Xue and True Navigator, he immediately took his proud disciples toward the Game God Sect.
The second batch of experts from Dragon City had also set off.
At this moment, somewhere in the sky, a roll of dark clouds covered the heavens, creating a sense of oppression over Tuo Yan Peak.
The shadow cast by the clouds was not only above but also weighed heavily on Jiang Xue's heart.
With a sword strike, a Spirit Serpent of the same color as the branches suddenly moved aside to evade what would have been a fatal blow. However, although the Sword Momentum dissipated, it released a Lightning Burst that struck the Spirit Serpent directly, slicing it in half.
Creatures like this beast were numerous in the gorge, yet they could not escape Wang Long and his companions' eyes. Moreover, even if they were discovered late, those beasts could not outrun Song Shuping's Instant Flash Technique. Coupled with the ruthless killing intent of Evil and Malicious, the entire gorge had turned into a mountain of corpses.
"Damn it! Can these Demon Clan be any more shameless? At this rate, we won't uncover anything!" Even the usually composed Song Shuping couldn't help but curse.
Before entering Demon’s Swamp, Wang Long and his companions had anticipated various extreme scenarios, including falling into traps set by Brahma Demon King himself.
However, the current situation was completely beyond their expectations.
There were no experts at all; up until now, they hadn't encountered a single Demon Clan member!
The hiding spots of those beasts weren't even particularly secretive. They were playing an open scheme against them!
Exhausted!
Just set up camp every five steps and keep watch every three steps; kill at will!
They had ventured less than ten miles into Demon's Swamp, and the planned reconnaissance of the Demon Clan had yielded no results.
If they had anticipated such a situation, it would have been better to bring a few hundred experts to sweep through the area; that would have been far more efficient than their current approach.
"Should we continue like this? If the next ten miles are the same, we might as well charge in. These small fry can't do anything to us," Evil and Malicious suggested again.
"It's not that simple. The Demon Clan might be trying to exploit our impatience. Think about it: if we suddenly charge in, we could easily find ourselves surrounded by various beasts, making it hard to stop and directly falling into their trap. That would truly be a narrow escape," Heaven's Binding replied.
Song Shuping pondered, "So now we can only rely on guesses. What do you think is their purpose in setting up such a trap? Are they simply trying to waste our time, or is it a cover for something more sinister? And has Brahma Demon King returned?"
Wang Long gazed into the distance, deep in thought before shaking his head. "No. Don't forget that today's Demon Clan is not what it used to be. They not only have Brahma Demon King, who is likely the strongest being beneath Pangu the Giant God, but they also have an unknown number of Ancient Beasts assisting them. Their strength alone could force us to retreat in disarray. Our mission is merely reconnaissance; no matter how weak the opponent may be, engaging them head-on is the worst strategy. Right now, I can only hope that heaven opens its eyes and allows us to discover some long-hidden secret paths."
"Haha, where are all these good things? How far are we from Princess Liling and the others? Since the Demon Clan wants to act, let's go for a half-concealed, half-elite assault! Instead of charging directly, let's take some detours here; I refuse to believe that Demon's Swamp can hide such a massive Demon Clan and make it so easy for them to surround us."
"Alright!" Although it wasn't exactly what Evil and Malicious wanted, it was still a second-best option for him.
"Where are the people from Game God Sect? They don't even send anyone to greet us upon our arrival?" Heaven's Binding stood coldly in the center of a large camp that was clearly abandoned. Although the surrounding tents were relatively new and hadn't been there long, there wasn't a single person in sight.
"Hmph, those from Game God Sect must know that we're here to demand an explanation, so they've already become too timid to face us," one of his disciples remarked.
"Exactly! Master Zong holds such a high status; aside from Victory Over Heaven, who among them could stand against him? I bet they fled as soon as they saw Master Zong appear," another added.
Heaven's Binding shot a cold glare at his two sycophantic disciples. "Are you trying to flatter me? Do you think they wouldn't notice me when they saw me? If anyone in Game God Sect had such abilities, they could indeed ignore us! Go look around and see if there are any clues left by Game God Sect."
"Yes!"
Unlike Xuanmen, although Holy Divine Gate also had its share of Ancient Colossal Deity-level experts, Heaven's Binding held absolute authority. Upon hearing his command as Master Zong, everyone dispersed without objection to check their surroundings.
Before long, all the warriors returned.
"What did you find?"
"Reporting to Master Zong, there are no valuable traces around. In fact, we suspect that no one has lived here since this camp was set up."
"What!" Heaven's Binding was taken aback, unable to comprehend what his junior brother meant.
"The tents here show no signs of having been used; this camp seems to be just for show..." the elder expert from Holy Divine Gate cautiously remarked, observing Heaven's Binding's expression.
"An empty camp!" Heaven's Binding, suddenly realizing something, turned pale and struck out with a palm, directly knocking down the row of tents in front of him.
Indeed, the entire Main Tent was merely standing there; inside, there were no living supplies at all, not even a blade of grass!
"What is going on? What does Game God Sect mean by this?" Heaven's Binding felt a vague sense that something was definitely wrong, but he still couldn't figure it out. What purpose could such an empty camp serve, other than temporarily preventing them from finding the whereabouts of Game God Sect's people?
"Master Zong, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Let's go directly to Game God Sect. I want to see if this time their own lair is empty as well!"
"Understood!"
Meanwhile, within the camp, True Navigator received their report but did not feel the same anger as Heaven's Binding. Instead, a sense of crisis surged in his heart.
