"Retreat quickly. We are likely already discovered by the Demon Clan, and if we move fast, we might still escape."
Song Shuping agreed with Dao Lord Wu Jue's opinion: "My divine abilities have not yet been suppressed, so escaping should not be a problem."
Wang Long raised his hand to interrupt them, listening intently but hearing no sounds: "No, that's not right. What just happened was an isolated incident; this is definitely not a trap set by the Demon Clan targeting us, let alone that they have discovered us. My Thunder Person merely triggered their array trap."
"But this array is clearly the style of the Demon Clan. If it wasn't aimed at us, why would they go to such great lengths to set up such a powerful formation here?"
Wang Long's eyes lit up: "You're right. Since they have set up this formation here, it indicates there must be a reason they don't want anyone to enter. Hehe, as the leading antagonist, the Demon Clan actually has something they dare not let others see; I'm quite interested in that."
Everyone present was a remarkable individual, and with Wang Long's reminder, they quickly guessed what was going on. Song Shuping exclaimed in shock: "Could it be that there's someone trapped here like an Abyssal Demon? But over the years, I haven't heard of the Demon Clan trapping any divine experts."
"Don't be too rigid in your thinking. What’s inside this array may not necessarily be a divine expert or even a specific person; it could also be an Extraordinary Treasure or something else that could cause great harm to the Demon Clan. In any case, let's break this array first. Everyone stay alert; if there are any alarm mechanisms within this array, it could easily alert the Demon Clan. Song Shuping, Dao Lord Wu Jue, and I will handle the array while Evil and Malicious and Princess Liling keep watch around us!"
Wang Long slowly approached the edge of the array tested by the previous Thunder Person, forming hand seals as two streams of black and white spiritual light shot into it. This immediately triggered a reaction from the Demon Clan's array.
Although this array's power far exceeded what Wang Long could withstand, there was no need for them to match that power directly. When it came to breaking an array, strength was certainly important, but for resolving an array, its complexity was paramount.
In this regard, these divine realm arrays were not stronger than those from their current world, and the Demon Clan's arrays were filled with a brutal aesthetic—simplicity.
Moreover, with Wang Long and his two companions working simultaneously, their progress was surprisingly faster than when they had just entered the Demon's Swamp and dealt with those beast ambushes.
Soon, Wang Long could clearly sense the immense pressure previously felt through the separated Thunder Person. They could now confirm that what was trapped within this Demon Array was indeed a person—a remarkable expert unlike any other.
Blood, violence, destruction, annihilation.
Wang Long quickly realized he had guessed wrong; this was not an extraordinary master. Instead, it was a creature!
Trapped in the center of the Demon Array was actually an Ancient Beast!
"Heh heh, I didn't expect anyone could make it this far. And it's a member of the divine race." A giant beast stood before them, unlike any other demon beast they had encountered before.
It had three enormous heads resembling Dragon Heads, but compared to typical dragon heads, they were more elongated and exuded a sense of aggression. Its massive body was quite rare even among demon beasts, with two front claws, twelve legs, and three tails. At first glance, it seemed as if three demon beasts had been forcibly merged into one, aside from the front claws and body.
Even Song Shuping had never heard of or seen such a creature before, let alone be able to name it.
Upon hearing that the creature understood human speech, Wang Long directly asked, "Your Excellency, who are you? Why are you in a place like this? Were you captured by the Demon Clan?"
"Heh heh, the Demon Clan? How could the Brahma Demon King easily capture me! Little one, at your age to possess such strength is quite impressive. Your future is limitless."
Wang Long felt a chill in his heart; the creature's words were clearly praising him but also implied that it could easily see through him. Just how powerful must it be? No wonder the Demon Clan used such a strong formation to trap this beast.
"Everyone stop. Let's assess the situation first," Wang Long said without hesitation to Song Shuping and Dao Lord Wu Jue. He didn't have enough confidence to rescue it directly; if it turned hostile on the spot, wouldn't they just be asking for trouble? Moreover, the Ancient Beast's dismissive attitude filled Wang Long with caution.
Such a demon beast would likely "despise" becoming allies with them, even if it desperately needed their help now.
"What do you mean? If you don't want to save me, then why bother breaking into this Ten Thousand Demons' Heart-Settling Formation?" The Ancient Beast could certainly see Wang Long's intentions. However, having been trapped here for so long and previously being a figure above countless demons, it was unaware of how its current state instilled such wariness in others.
"Ha ha, look at Your Excellency, an Ancient Beast that has survived in the divine realm for countless years. You should know that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, right? You say you want us to rescue you from this formation, but what do we get in return?"
"We have a common enemy." Although proud, this Ancient Beast was not foolish and immediately replied without hesitation, "As you can see, I have been trapped by the Demon Clan for such a long time. How could I not seek revenge for this humiliation? If you can help me escape, I will definitely go after the Brahma Demon King to settle the score. Isn't that exactly what you desire? Although your divine race is powerful, you may not be able to completely annihilate the Demon Clan in one go; otherwise, you wouldn't have only pushed them to the outskirts over these past few thousand years. However, if we join forces, we could have even greater strength and perhaps wipe out the Demon Clan entirely, freeing your divine race from this great threat!"
"That's a tempting proposal." Wang Long said it was tempting, but his expression showed he was not very interested. "However, Mr. Ancient Beast, according to your reasoning, attacking the Demon Clan would also be your revenge. In that case, it wouldn't count as a repayment for our rescuing you, would it? More importantly, since we have the upper hand against the Demon Clan, why should we take the risk of rescuing you? Not to mention that being in the core of this Ten Thousand Demons' Heart-Settling Formation is far more dangerous than outside and could easily alert the Demon Clan, causing our ambush to fail. Most importantly, your beast tribe is also an enemy of the divine race. Who can guarantee that after we take great risks to rescue you, you won't turn against us? I don't see this deal as worthwhile. We should leave first."
"Wait!" Hearing Wang Long's resolute words, even though this Ancient Beast suspected Wang Long was playing a retreat-to-advance trick, it had to throw out something substantial to show it had room for negotiation. "There is a significant error in what you just said. If back then your divine race had an advantage over the Demon Clan's Allied Forces, that advantage has likely been erased by the Demon Clan now! Without my help now, you might not be as certain of victory as you think!"
"Oh? Like what?" Wang Long stopped turning away.
"Ha ha, for example, the Demon Clan has learned how to control beasts from me! If I'm not mistaken, the Brahma Demon King has not only tamed a large number of beasts for his own use but has even managed to directly control Ancient Beasts! Under such circumstances, do you still dare to say you're certain of victory?"
"What!" Wang Long showed a shocked expression.
What he mentioned was already known from their last battle with the Demon Clan, but what surprised him this time was that the Brahma Demon King had learned from this very Ancient Beast before him!
Who exactly is this being!
