"Long, you are still very cautious about the Beast Ancestor. Why did you decide to take the initiative this time?"
Wang Long sneered, "When I suggested advancing directly to the Demon Clan headquarters, although Beast Ancestor did not raise any objections, his expression revealed an abnormal greed. I am certain that there is something there that Beast Ancestor desperately wants."
"So..."
"So our real objective this time is not to search for those Demon Lords everywhere, but to head straight for their headquarters and find a way to ambush the Nine-Headed Demon Lord and others there. If we can capture the Demon Clan headquarters intact, then all their years of accumulation will belong to us. We can also find what Beast Ancestor desires and cut off all his ambitions."
"Uh, what if he goes mad trying to find it? And if this matter gets exposed later, he will definitely come after us for revenge, right?" Dao Lord Wu Jue said uneasily.
Evil and Malicious sneered, "At that point, it will be up to him. However, since that thing is held by the Demon Clan, it will take him some time to find evidence proving that we took it. If by then we still can't think of a way to restrain Beast Ancestor, then there's no need for us to continue. We can just return to Dragon City and wait on the island for him to come knocking before deciding whether to fight or surrender."
Wang Long smiled, "Evil and Malicious speaks bluntly but wisely. That's essentially the idea. Moreover, I have a bad feeling; if Beast Ancestor gets his hands on that thing, he could become an even more terrifying enemy than the Brahma Demon King. Well, there's no point in overthinking it now; let's advance first."
Dao Lord Wu Jue and Evil and Malicious nodded in agreement.
Just as Wang Long had judged, although this was the most core area of the Demon Clan, there were hardly any warriors left to guard it.
In fact, they even arrived there before any Ancient Demon could.
After transforming into their virtual forms, Wang Long and his companions split into two groups. With Evil and Malicious drawing the attention of the vigilant warriors outside, they easily created space for Wang Long and Dao Lord Wu Jue to infiltrate.
The entire layout atop the mountain had a distinct Demon Clan style. The alternating colors of black, red, and dark green along with the architectural style evoked a desire for slaughter. However, such psychological manipulation through natural conditions was trivial for Wang Long and Dao Lord Wu Jue. Especially for Dao Lord Wu Jue, who had spent many years in the Extreme Cold Domain. There was likely nothing left in this world that could disturb his icy heart.
The lack of skilled fighters among the Demon Clan was glaringly evident. Even though a few Demon Lords had returned after experiencing such a great battle—especially after suffering a major defeat—it was unrealistic to expect them to immediately be on high alert. They also did not anticipate that Wang Long and his group would act so swiftly, already infiltrating right under their noses.
Wang Long took advantage of the two sentinels chatting idly about the grim prospects of the upcoming war, hoping that Brahma Demon King would return in time to strike a blow against the Army of Dragon City. The two hurriedly rushed over.
However, just after slipping past their watchful eyes, Wang Long suddenly felt a powerful pressure emerge. He almost thought he had fallen into an ambush set by the Demon Clan.
Fortunately, both he and Dao Lord Wu Jue were very calm individuals and quickly discerned that this pressure was unintentionally emanating from someone and did not indicate that they had been discovered.
Yet, as his heart raced with doubt, another question arose. If such a natural pressure could reach this level, it indicated how strong the opponent's power was. Were there still such experts present in the Demon Clan's stronghold?
“Humph! When has my business ever been something you can meddle in? Mind your own issues. When the Army of Dragon City comes over, do you really think your small number of people can withstand it?”
The voice that followed was somewhat familiar; it was indeed the voice of the Nine-Headed Demon Lord: “Humph! Since Your Excellency has cooperated with us until now, despite various slanders against us, we have never violated any agreements during our collaboration, right? And now you want to burn bridges and kick us when we’re down. I must remind you that Brahma Demon King is only absent for now; we Demon Clan are far from being at our wits' end. The final victory still belongs to us. Are you not afraid that when Brahma Demon King returns, he won’t let you off?”
“Brahma Demon King? Heh heh, do you really think we care much about his existence?”
Wang Long and Dao Lord Wu Jue were shaken. Who was this person conversing with the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, and why did he seem to disregard even the nearly omnipotent Brahma Demon King! Could it be that his power surpassed that of Brahma Demon King? However, despite feeling immense pressure, it didn’t seem to be so.
Or perhaps this person had some plan to deal with Brahma Demon King, or had grasped his weaknesses?
“You dare to be disrespectful to Brahma Demon King?”
“I not only dare to be disrespectful to that old fossil, but whether you can survive to see your precious Brahma Demon King again is still uncertain! I advise you to spill everything you know; otherwise, you should know what your fate will be!”
“Heh heh, do you think you can force me with such tactics? You’ve really miscalculated. Setting aside whether I would betray Brahma Demon King, do you think that even if I told you everything I knew, I would survive? He would still kill me.”
“Don’t worry; even if you offend your entire Demon Clan, becoming a traitor that old fossil wants dead, we are still here for you. Even if you lack confidence in my strength, don’t you still believe… Hey! Stop!”
Wang Long and the others were startled, unsure of what had happened inside. They only heard a gasp, followed by the feeling that the presence of the Nine-Headed Demon Lord was growing weaker.
"No need to come out; he is beyond saving. I never expected that this Nine-Headed Demon Lord would be such a man. He deliberately drew our attention to the Brahma Demon King, but in reality, he was gathering strength to end his own life. Let him go. After all, in our plan, he is expendable."
Wang Long and the others exchanged glances, astonished that the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, who had once nearly destroyed the Divine Coalition in their last battle, had died so quietly in the heart of the Demon Clan's stronghold, and it was even a suicide.
What shocked them even more was that they could only sense two pressures: one from the dissipating Nine-Headed Demon Lord and another from this mysterious person. They did not feel the presence of a third person. So, who was he speaking to?
"I understand," the mysterious person continued without waiting for a response. "The root of the Demon Clan lies here, so that secret will not be outside this range. However, without the cooperation of the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, and with the Army from Dragon City approaching, the Beast Ancestor has always been very interested in that secret. This was also why he took risks to collaborate with the Brahma Demon King. Our time is running out."
Unbeknownst to Wang Long, the hidden figure said something else. He wanted to listen closely but could not hear any sound.
Then the voice rang out again: "We certainly have enough confidence in the strength of Lord Dragon Emperor, but the reputation of Brahma Demon King spans millennia. Even the power of the Four Great Lords of the Divine Clan could not do anything to him. Even if Lord Dragon Emperor defeats him, it is unlikely he can truly kill him. We all know that if we cannot truly eliminate Brahma Demon King, then the Demon Clan will never suffer a real blow. Therefore, we must obtain that secret; perhaps we can even uncover its hidden meanings, which would greatly benefit our clan's prosperity!"
Next came more words from the hidden individual. Finally, they heard the mysterious person let out a long breath: "Alright, you go back and report this situation to Lord Dragon Emperor while I continue to lurk here and investigate information about that secret."
After saying this, Wang Long and his companions felt a release of pressure and knew that the mysterious person had left.
