Supreme of the Heavenly Realm-Chapter 779 - 773: Demon Clan Encampment
Chapter 779: Chapter 773: Demon Clan Encampment
Central Domain. In the mountain ranges to the northwest side.
The terrain here is treacherous, with steep mountains, and it appears desolate, with thin Spiritual Energy. Whether it is the earth or the surfaces of the mountains, there are ancient cracks everywhere, as if this place had been abandoned to such a state long ago.
This place is known as Winter Desolate Mountain, a barren land seldom visited by people.
However, starting one month ago, the area began to feel eerily ominous. Many residents who originally lived here, even a small Sect, have moved away one after another. Gradually, this place became a stronghold for the Alien Clan.
Buzz!
Suddenly, space trembled in the air, and a crack materialized out of nowhere. In the next instant, a figure stepped out from it, emerging into view.
"Lord Shen Luo once mentioned that this is one of the exits of the Demon Clan’s Evil Domain. Surely, traces of the Demon Clan should be found here."
The figure was none other than Ye Xuan. Before coming here, he had already gathered information that the Alien Clan was indeed present in the vicinity, undoubtedly the Demon Clan.
With a flash, Ye Xuan immediately disappeared from the spot.
Deep within the mountain range.
Beneath the cover of a Prohibition, there indeed was a Demon Clan camp.
On the perimeter of the camp, a team of Demon Clan soldiers was on patrol.
"Do you think, after so many years spent in the Evil Domain, we finally have the chance to come back. This time, we must make those humans pay dearly."
"Give it a rest. Hasn’t Lord Shen Luo ordered not to kill humans at will? We must exploit the internal conflicts among humans, employ strategies, and refrain from sheer brute force, get it?"
"All right, all right. I was just influenced by the education I received since childhood. Humans are greedy and shameless, using sneaky tricks to occupy our ancestral lands. But having said that, after all this time, I don’t even know what humans look like anymore. I just hope that we can secure a foothold in the Spirit Martial World and won’t have to go back to that shitty Evil Domain."
"Don’t worry, our clan’s plan this time is meticulous; we will surely be successful."
The two patrolling members of the Demon Clan discussed with each other.
However, as they conversed, they unwittingly moved away from the rest of their Demon Clan soldiers without a sound.
"Gentlemen, haven’t you noticed that you’ve fallen behind?"
Suddenly, a somewhat youthful voice came through.
Hearing this, the two hurriedly looked up, only to see that a young man had appeared before them without them knowing.
"Who are you?"
The two were startled.
"Could he be a human spy? Daring to infiltrate our camp, do you no longer wish to live?" one of the Demon Clan guards shouted fiercely.
"You don’t even recognize me? You two really are wasting your time."
Ye Xuan shook his head, "Go report, I want to see Lord Shen Luo."
"Lord Shen Luo?"
The two were stunned, but then one of them laughed, "Do you think Lord Shen Luo is someone you can see whenever you wish? You, a human spy, want to meet Lord Shen Luo? Are you seeking death?"
Just a puny human youngster, yet so full of himself, utterly laughable.
"Forget it, it doesn’t seem practical to send you to relay the message. Just tell me where she is, and I’ll go to her myself," Ye Xuan stated indifferently.
"Do you think that’s possible?" one of them said with a mocking tone.
"Is that so? Well then, it seems I’ll have to teach you a tough lesson."
Ye Xuan clasped his hand, and suddenly, the space around the two twisted, collapsing and forming a spatial crack, as if about to swallow them whole.
"How can this be?"
The two Demon Clan guards were shocked, a look of horror in their eyes. The Ye Xuan before them could easily tear through space, a power only the Martial Saint Strong People possessed.
Could this young-looking individual actually possess such terrifying strength?
"Wait, wait, Lord Shen Luo is in the main tent. Go straight ahead and you’ll find her."
The two Demon Clan guards paled.
Ye Xuan, without paying them further attention, vanished into the void after finding out Shen Luo’s whereabouts, and burst toward the direction of Shen Luo.
"Who on earth is this human, and how does he know we are encamped here?"
One was somewhat astonished; not many knew about this being one of the exits of the Evil Domain, so how could Ye Xuan, a human, come here?
Could it be discovered by humans?
"Did you hear about the incident roughly six months ago? A few humans broke into the Evil Domain, causing quite a stir. In the end, one human was identified as our clan’s Prophetic Son," said another with a grave expression.
"The Prophetic Son? Are you saying this youngster is the Prophetic Son?"
The guard’s eyes widened. He had also heard about the Prophetic Son.
"Quite likely," the other nodded.
"Holy shit, why didn’t you say so earlier with such important information? Didn’t we just offend him?" the guard looked displeased.
"It’s fine. We are not the only ones on patrol here; he won’t find it so easy to locate her. Moreover, we are just minor characters, and he probably won’t trouble himself with us."
The other shook his head, looking quite composed, and then with a spark in his eyes, he added, "And don’t forget, besides Lord Shen Luo’s faction, which strongly supports him, there are many who oppose the idea of him being the Prophetic Son. His arrival here probably means more trouble for him than for us."
"That’s true, how can our Demon Clan acknowledge a human as our Prophetic Son? Many senior Saints surely won’t agree. Anyway, we common soldiers should just follow orders."
After muttering a few words to each other, the two hastily left the area.
After they left, Ye Xuan’s figure re-emerged. He had clearly overheard the recent conversation, and his expression soon turned thoughtful.
"As expected, it’s absurd to try to control the entire Demon Clan with just a title," Ye Xuan wasn’t surprised. He had already considered this before coming here.
Without sufficient strength of his own, how could he possibly command the many powerful ancient Saints of the Demon Clan? Previously, in the Holy Tower of the Heavenly Demon Clan, it was by leveraging the identity of Shen Luo that he temporarily subdued those ancient Saints.
The Demon Clan people have always revered overwhelming power; only those with unmatched strength are qualified to be their master.
"This sort of thing has to be done slowly, haste won’t help."
One cannot swallow an elephant in one bite, and Ye Xuan understood the principle of making gradual progress. The immediate priority was to use the power of the Demon Clan to deal with Yuxiaozi’s Emperor Xi Sect.
Now that the traces of the Demon Clan had been found, but the major Seventh Grade Sects do not know the actual situation of the Demon Clan, whether true or false, this would allow a surprise and fatal blow to be dealt to the Emperor Xi Sect under these circumstances.
