Looking at the figures of the Four Demonic Beasts retreating, Huang Mei and Mo Mei, who seemed like they were facing a great enemy, breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had just unloaded a heavy burden.
To high-level cultivators, engaging in a life-and-death battle with others of the same rank, merely for reasons of pride, honor, or righteousness, without any tangible benefit like immortal destiny, was indeed an unwise move.
But demonic cultivators were different.
Although the fourth stage great demons possessed high-level intelligence, the "beastly nature" in their bloodlines ran deeper, making them more impulsive than Human Race cultivators.
Just a quick glance at the crowd could trigger a bloodbath; that possibility was not out of the realm of reason.
Fortunately, the concerns of the two did not materialize.
It was not that Huang Mei and Mo Mei feared the Blood Leopard Demonic King and the other four demons, but rather they felt that there was no need to engage in battle with them.
The Radiant Night Cave was filled with many opportunities, but there were just as many strong enemies, so it was wise to conserve their strength and be better prepared for critical moments.
As they watched the Four Demonic Beasts disappear, Liu Yu did not rush to continue on his way but instead quickly surveyed the surroundings.
Upon arriving here, the buildings that originally bore the style of the Twin-Headed Clan had vanished, replaced by massive, colorful structures.
Wild and primitive, yet vibrant, such was the style of this unknown race.
The Twin-Headed Clan's architecture only existed on the outskirts; its significance was not simple.
Did this mean that the Twin-Headed Clan's status was far below that of the unknown race? Or perhaps the former was simply a vassal race of the latter, akin to servants to their masters?
Scanning the dozens of colorful buildings around, Liu Yu speculated in his heart.
The Twin-Headed Clan had two heads and four arms, possessed some talent in the "essence refinement" path, and could not be considered a weak race in ancient times.
How could such a race choose to submit?
It was imaginable that the group responsible for leaving these massive colorful structures must have been ranked among the top in the ancient ten thousand races, having at least experienced a period of glory.
These thoughts flickered through his mind in an instant.
At the intersection where the three stood, there were multiple paths leading to the core of the Forbidden Zone.
To avoid encountering the Blood Leopard Demonic King again, Liu Yu deliberately chose a different route.
After all, exploring a secret realm was a very private affair. Whether it was a true lord or a demonic king, nobody wanted their gains known by others.
The opposing party was not weak, and resolving matters with them would not be easy. There was no compelling reason to engage unless necessary.
Of course, if they were in possession of something Liu Yu needed, like a spiritual object that could help him break through to the late nascent soul stage, he would undoubtedly strike first without hesitation.
The colorful buildings towered at dozens of feet, each one possessing a strong presence. However, after investigation, the three discovered that most were simply "houses" of the unknown race.
With the disappearance of this race, naturally, there was nothing of value to be sought within those houses.
With this conclusion, the three lost interest and continued on their way, merely scanning with their spiritual consciousness as they moved quickly.
"We're getting closer."
At our speed, we should reach the core of the Forbidden Zone in about two hours.
In the blink of an eye, a quarter of an hour passed. After passing through a dozen intersections, Liu Yu maintained his speed while observing the distant "black archway" and spoke slowly.
The resources within the Radiant Night Cave are abundant to the point that ordinary cultivators can hardly imagine it. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as one still has a glimmer of hope for the immortal way, most will not miss this chance.
