By the end, Gu Wushuang couldn’t help but take a deep breath as well.
In the Eight-layered Devil Realm, the Dragon Lord could be considered the supreme ruler—the very support of the entire realm.
Now, it was highly probable that the Dragon Lord would never return.
For the present Eight-layered Devil Realm, this was akin to a nuclear bomb.
It just hadn’t detonated yet.
But.
...
If it did, the whole Eight-layered Devil Realm would hardly remain as calm as it is now.
“Princely Heir, whatever your purpose is for going to the Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils, we can’t stay long in this Eight-layered Devil Realm,”
“Once the disappearance of the Dragon Lord is leaked or unintentionally detected by other Devil Emperors, the Mountain, or rather, the entire Eight-layered Devil Realm, would transform into a battlefield.”
“The power dynamics, fostered under the Dragon Lord’s rule in the Eight-layered Devil Realm, would likely collapse into complete disorder and chaos.”
“When that happens, it will be dangerous,”
As Gu Wushuang spoke, a trace of earnestness could be seen in her autumn-water-like eyes.
For Gu Wushuang, facing opponents alone was never something to fear.
The fear was becoming the target in the eyes of everyone.

They had learned of the Dragon Lord’s disappearance before any Devil Emperors, and at the same time, were about to become the first besides the Dragon Lord’s Envoy to ascend the Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils.
Once the news of the Dragon Lord’s disappearance spread, all the Devil Emperors would turn their attention towards them.
By then, leaving the Eight-layered Devil Realm would be the least of their worries.
Surviving might even be difficult.
Surrounded and attacked by a host of Devil Emperors, even Gu Wushuang, the Abyss Demon Emperor, felt uncertain of her strength.
The Demon Beasts within the Eight-layered Devil Realm alone could wear them down to death.
Cheng Guang understood the meaning behind Gu Wushuang’s words. His expression remained unchanged, his demeanor still collected.
“I’ll leave once I’ve achieved my objective,” he said.
“Right now, the Dragon Lord’s authority still holds, and there is the presence of the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, who keeps up the pretense that the Dragon Lord is still around. Therefore, in a short time, no Devil Emperor would realize that the Dragon Lord has already disappeared.”
“Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils remains tranquil.”
“Otherwise, under the deliberate probing of some eager Devil Emperors, the deserted state of the Mountain would have been exposed by now. There’s no way it could have remained concealed.”
“This Dragon Lord’s Envoy… being able to hide all the captured women on the Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils suggests a confidence that Devil Emperors wouldn’t dare to casually investigate the Mountain,” he continued.
“Of course, it’s also possible that, besides the Mountain, the Envoy no longer has any other secure place to hide.”
Cheng Guang’s gaze lingered in the direction of the distant Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils as he spoke unhurriedly.
Gu Wushuang nodded slightly, feeling that Cheng Guang’s words made sense. She refrained from asking further, suppressing the worry in her heart and focused on following Cheng Guang.
Soon.
In just a quarter of an hour.
Cheng Guang had already reached the gates of the Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils.
Having been there once before, Cheng Guang did not pay much attention to the beautiful scenery along the way.
Cheng Guang stood before the gates of Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils and looked up.
Cheng Guang could see that it was only when one stood directly beneath the true gate of Cultivation Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils that one could comprehend its formidable nature, with clouds and mist swirling around it, shooting straight into the heavens, as if it were a portal to another world.
At that moment, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy pointed to two tall mountains next to the gate and said, “Master, those are the two Stone men.”
“They are in slumber right now.”
“Their bodies have begun to be covered with moss and trees from the long slumber, making them virtually indistinguishable from the surrounding mountain range.”
Hearing the words of the Dragon Lord’s Envoy, Cheng Guang’s gaze followed to where the Envoy was pointing.
The two tall mountains, though somewhat shorter than the Mountain of Ten Thousand Devils itself, still bore a discernible human shape upon closer inspection.
It was as if they were guardians standing watch over the gate.
Weathered by the years and eroded by wind and rain, these two Stone men had been covered by a layer of soil and trees, but they remained as steadfast as rock, standing unyielding.
Cheng Guang was taken aback by the enormity of these two Stone men.
Compared to these Stone men.
The giant elephant that the Dragon Lord’s Envoy had previously transformed into seemed insignificant.
At that moment, Cheng Guang suddenly realized that the Xuan Ming Treasure Cloth, which the Envoy had used to assume such a vast form, might have been inspired by the appearance of the Stone men.
Upon this thought, Cheng Guang cast a sidelong glance at the Dragon Lord’s Envoy standing next to him.
Feeling Cheng Guang’s gaze, the Envoy seemed to laugh awkwardly and then nodded, saying, “Master, indeed that’s what I thought.”
Cheng Guang was not surprised and did not pay too much attention to the Dragon Lord’s Envoy. His gaze then turned back to the two large Stone men beside the gate, and he asked,
“Do you know how to awaken them?”
Cheng Guang remembered that the Dragon Lord’s Envoy had just mentioned wanting to use these Stone men against him.
Currently, the Stone men were still asleep, so the Envoy couldn’t utilize them.
They would have to be woken up first.
Upon hearing the question, the Dragon Lord’s Envoy’s eyes twinkled with a hint of animation as he replied,
“Master, awakening the Stone men is simple. Just speak a sentence into the ears of the Stone men, and they will respond.”
