“Yes, Lord Demon Master.” Hei Xue was drenched in cold sweat, trembling.
The Shitian Demon Master was known for its unpredictable moods. In the past, several Demon Lords had been devoured by its wrath, and that was why it faced resistance from the higher-ups within its tribe. Although he was a general under the Shitian Demon Master, he had to be extremely cautious.
“Report to the Demon Master, currently there are two major powers on the continent. One is the human power led by Tianlei City, headed by a genius named Qin Chen, who has also entered the Thunder Secret Realm. It is said that his strength is extraordinary, estimated to be at the Half-Saint level. He has integrated several forces of the human race, such as the Alchemy Pavilion, Wanbao Building, and the Bloodline Holy Land. Now, more than half of the human experts on the continent listen to his call.”
“Qin Chen?”
The Shitian Demon Master frowned, “Was there such a person in the great hall back then?”
Its gaze flickered and soon fixed on a figure, “Is it that kid?”
However, it shook its head again, as Qin Chen at that time was far from reaching the Half-Saint realm.
“Is there an image of this person?”
The Shitian Demon Master asked coldly.
“Reporting to the Master, this is the person.”
Hei Xue immediately created a black illusion, and Qin Chen's appearance emerged above the illusion.
“Is it really this kid?”
The Shitian Demon Master was shocked, how could this be possible?
Suddenly, it thought of a question and said in a deep voice, “How many people managed to survive after I left the Thunder Secret Realm?”
“Reporting to the Master, there should be quite a few. According to my subordinates' secret investigations, apart from Qin Chen, there are also the Piao Miao Palace Master Shangguan Xi'er, as well as the Demon Spirit, the Illusion Demon Sect Master, and the Alchemy Pavilion's Supreme Elder, Ji Jing Dan Di, among others, all of whom have survived.”
What?
The Shitian Demon Master was astonished, how could this be?
It had sacrificed the life and blood of the Devouring Demon Lord to obtain the opportunity to escape the Abyss Demon Secret Realm, but how could those guys have escaped from it?
How could that Abyss Demon Master from the celestial realm let these people go?
“There must be something going on here.”
A glint flashed in the Shitian Demon Master's eyes.
Back then, it had entered the Abyss Demon Secret Realm with the cultivation of a peak Demon Master and had been trapped for countless years. Yet, Qin Chen and the others were merely at the Half-Saint and peak Martial Emperor realm, how could they possibly escape?
It could not figure out the reason, but it also dared not go back to the Thunder Secret Realm again and kept this matter in mind.
“The remaining power is the one controlled by Piao Miao Palace and the Demon Spirit. Although it has been severely suppressed, according to my subordinates' investigations, this force has secretly controlled many top-level powers on the continent using our tribe's experts over the past two hundred years. Although the top few have been reclaimed by the people of Tianlei City, there should still be many smaller and medium-sized forces that follow them.”
“When Tianlei City targets Piao Miao Palace, did Piao Miao Palace and the Demon Spirit not take any action?”
The Shitian Demon Master frowned.
“Well… according to my subordinates' investigations, the Demon Spirit and that Shangguan Xi'er are searching for you everywhere, Master.”
Cold sweat appeared on Hei Xue's forehead.
“Looking for me?
It seems they have not given up on devouring me yet.”
Upon hearing this, a fierce and violent light flashed in the Shitian Demon Master’s eyes.
“As for your subordinates, we have summoned all the remaining foreign army in this secret realm, but many of them are left in a spiritual state, without physical bodies.”
“This is simple.”
The Shitian Demon Master sneered coldly, “There are plenty of corpses on this continent, so when the time comes, we can have as many as we want.”
