"Jiang Xue, what do you think?"
Jiang Xue's expression was equally serious as she sighed, "The reason the Game God Sect has set up this empty camp is very clear; it's to show us that the situation in the Northern Qian Mountain Range is not as urgent as we might think, and that they still have things under control. However, we have confirmed one thing: the Game God Sect's attacks on the Evil Extermination Sect are more terrifying than we imagined. If this is a deliberate effort by the Evil Extermination Sect to preserve their strength and disciples, then that's one thing. But the problem is that both the Evil Extermination Sect and the North Town Sect Master are strong-willed individuals; they may not be inclined to take such a soft approach. If that's the case, then the current situation of the Evil Extermination Sect is quite concerning."
"Really?" Wuxuan Daoist shook his head in confusion, unable to believe Jiang Xue's speculation. "The Evil Extermination Sect is one of the Four Major Sects; their strength is such that even a full-scale attack from the Demon Clan might not truly defeat them. How could the Game God Sect possibly have such power? Moreover, considering the timeline, they don't have enough time!"
"The key issue now is that we simply do not know what has happened there during this period. Furthermore, when we previously recognized the problems there, several experts we sent to the Evil Extermination Sect have yet to respond. True Navigator, I think we should stick to our previous plan and send senior elders from your sect to investigate personally."
True Navigator nodded in agreement. "Then let Wuxuan and Zhong Xuan's Junior Disciple make the trip themselves. Remember, this time you are not to engage in direct conflict with the Game God Sect, and it’s best if they remain unaware of your presence. Do not act recklessly; it’s crucial to gather information about what’s happening there!"
"Understood." Although Wuxuan Daoist appeared somewhat ill-tempered, with True Navigator's strict orders and his own strength being second only to True Navigator within Xuanmen, he became the most suitable choice for this mission.
"Jiang Xue, has there been any news from Wang Long since he has already ventured deep into Demon's Swamp?"
Jiang Xue smiled wryly and shook her head. "There hasn't been any information at all. We just don’t know whether things are progressing poorly or if they have encountered other issues preventing them from sending back news. Worrying about it now is pointless; we can only trust them."
"Is that so?" True Navigator furrowed his brow as he gazed into the distant horizon.
This operation had been meticulously planned over a long period with him and the elders of their sect; it should have been nearly foolproof. Even if it didn’t succeed, it shouldn’t lead to any major troubles. But now it seemed everything was going awry.
Before them stood a sheer cliff; its towering presence was breathtaking when viewed as a landscape. However, standing directly beneath it while facing potential threats from powerful enemies would surely dampen any sense of awe.
At that moment, Wang Long and his companions looked quite peculiar. Song Shuping looked at Wang Long with a wry smile. "Our luck seems unusually good; it's almost uncanny. We actually found a secret passage! This passage looks like it hasn’t been used for hundreds or even thousands of years. Should we take a chance? You decide."
Beneath the sheer cliff before them was a secret passage obscured by foliage, wide enough for two people to walk side by side. They had stumbled upon it while defeating those beasts and accidentally broke through some moss covering the outer layer of the cliff. It certainly did not appear to be a trap set by the Demon Clan—after all, even if they could devise such a scheme, controlling these low-level beasts would already be quite an achievement, let alone coordinating them for such an elaborate performance.
"Of course we should explore! If we leave this secret passage unused, Heaven Capital might punish us later. More importantly, although we haven’t encountered any formidable beasts so far, continuing our current method of slaughter will definitely backfire. Not only would we be putting ourselves in danger, but we would also risk completely ruining this plan. With their awareness heightened, how much can we gain? This secret passage might just be our key to breaking through this situation; it's worth taking a risk."
"Leader, you need to think carefully. When facing the Demon Clan, they have already demonstrated their ability to trap Lord Shunshen with their Instant Flash Technique." Princess Liling still felt uneasy. "That means if this is indeed a trap meticulously set by the Demon Clan, we might not even have a chance to escape."
"The possibility of that is quite low," Wang Long said, not feeling constrained by Song Shuping's potential life-saving measures being compromised. Setting aside how they could possibly create a secret path that hadn't been used for a thousand years, the more important question was why he would assume that we would come this way and follow through. Given the current strength advantage of the Demon Clan, such a risk was not worth taking. Moreover, the Abyssal Demon should still be keeping an eye on the Brahma Demon King; if he was also in the Demon’s Swamp, he would likely notice such a scheme and warn us in advance.
Seeing Wang Long's firm stance and clear reasoning, everyone either dismissed the concern over something that hadn't happened yet or agreed more with Wang Long's analysis.
"However, while we need to send someone to divert towards this secret path, we must not let the Demon Clan discover it. This secret path hasn't been used for nearly a thousand years, but that doesn't mean it hasn't been used at all in ten thousand years; the Demon Clan might know about it as well. We must leave a large force here to continue advancing so that the surrounding Demon Clan won't notice anything early. Only then can we catch them off guard."
Everyone looked at Wang Long with anticipation; each of them hoped to follow him into the secret path. Being chased by others while part of the Army was far from appealing.
"Princess Liling, Shunshen, Evil and Malicious, Dao Lord Wu Jue, you all stay with me as we enter. Even if you remain within the Army, remember our previous plan; now it just adds clearing out these beasts. Don't forget, since we're not among them now, you don't need to act overly genuine in your rooms. In times of difficulty, prioritize your safety and strength! Understood?"
"Yes!"
"Good, let's not linger here too long to avoid raising their suspicions. Everyone continue forward without looking back!"
Looking at the mountains around them, occasionally catching glimpses of startled beasts leaping from the bushes gave a sense of vitality.
Wang Long felt this way because ever since entering this secret path, they seemed to have entered an entirely different world. There were no beasts lurking here.
Neither those tamed by the Demon Clan nor those still retaining their wild instincts.
None at all!
If it were just for a short distance, that would be one thing; however, they had already ventured dozens of miles into this secret path without seeing any living creatures!
This couldn't help but instill a sense of dread even in Wang Long and his companions.
Yet, that was all there was to it. Their strength still provided enough confidence to handle any potential variables.
"Be careful; there's something unusual!" Suddenly, Song Shuping exclaimed from the front. Evil and Malicious and Dao Lord Wu Jue immediately crouched down while Wang Long extended his Spirit. A bolt of lightning stood ten zhang ahead of them as Wang Long felt his vision greatly expand.
However, just as he was about to carefully observe his surroundings, he suddenly felt an extremely terrifying pressure emanating from the Thunder Person.
It was so powerful that it could be compared to the feeling he had when he was deliberately pressured by the Abyssal Demon back then. Moreover, his Thunder Person was currently very small in size and hidden in a very secretive position.
Yet, despite such a strong pressure, it either indicated that the opponent had not consciously released any pressure to achieve such astonishing strength, or it meant that even such a slight Spiritual Energy Fluctuation had been directly detected by the opponent!
"Boom!" Before Wang Long could identify who the potential enemy was, stone spikes suddenly shot towards Wang Long's Thunder Person from the walls on both sides. At the same time, the ground in that area suddenly sank, forming a vortex with a strong suction force that made Rafe unable to escape!
The stone spikes flew in and directly killed Wang Long's Thunder Person without any chance of survival.
Wang Long was shocked.
In fact, the inability of his Thunder Person to escape at that moment did not mean they would be unable to do so after entering. However, the problem was that this was a situation where Wang Long had no opportunity to react and was instantly killed; such a trap still held significant deterrent power.
More importantly, how could there be such a powerful trap in this desolate place?
Could it be that they had truly fallen into the Demon Clan's scheme by taking this secret path, leading to the setup of this formation trap in advance? Just imagine if they had walked in without any precautions earlier...
