"Elder, don't worry. I will definitely inherit the Evil Cult and won't let your sacrifice be in vain!" The ones who escaped from the Underground Palace even earlier than Ye Feng and the others were the few remaining disciples of the Evil Cult, along with the Qin Protector.
This Qin Protector, with a deep scar on his face, understood very well how terrifying Elder Yang's self-sacrifice to complete the Nine Nether Secret Technique was. In his view, neither of the two Martial Saint Realm experts nor the demon race's Black Face could possibly survive under such circumstances.
Thinking this way, it seemed that Elder Yang's death was not entirely in vain; after all, it allowed them to break free from the demon race's control, although at a tremendous cost!
Looking at the few remaining people on his side, even if he summoned over a hundred people from the edge of the Underground Palace, the Evil Cult would no longer possess its original Vital Energy. Even a random Martial Saint could wipe them all out!
A heavy sense of sorrow filled everyone's hearts. The Qin Protector did not remain despondent for long; instead, his expression became resolute. From now on, he would take on the path of revitalizing the Evil Cult. On this road, he had no right to reminisce about the past!
"The Evil Cult will not perish! No one can destroy us! With the Nine Nether Poison Sect above us, please bless us! We will revive the Evil Cult!" After fervently reciting a prayer, the Qin Protector intended to lead his people away from there.
However, a terrifying figure descending from mid-air blocked his path and completely extinguished his rekindled fervor...
"What are you doing here..." The cold and rigid voice came from a burly figure with a green face. It seemed inappropriate to call him human since he had two horns protruding from his head!
Those black horns gleamed ominously, and what was even more chilling was his pair of blood-red eyes. Being stared at by those eyes felt as if one's soul could be snatched away! Just standing there made the Evil Cult members nearly collapse in fear!
The Qin Protector was stunned for a full three seconds! Then, his expression transformed into one of infinite terror and reverence. Without a hint of hesitation, he immediately knelt down, trembling all over as he stammered, "Lord Garo... What brings you here?"
This fellow was none other than Black Face and Bailuo's leader, also the demon general causing trouble in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons! He possessed peak strength in the Xuanwu Realm!
The Qin Protector never expected that just as he had escaped from danger, thinking there was a bright path ahead, he would be confronted by this lion that obliterated his way forward! However, under this lord's scrutiny, he couldn't muster any sense of resistance; even his earlier passionate words had completely slipped from his mind!
"It seems you didn't understand my question. I'm asking you what you're doing here? Are you asking me because you want to prolong your life?" As Garo's cold and indifferent words fell, the Qin Protector trembled even more and couldn't stop bowing in apology!
The other members of the Evil Cult followed suit, burying their heads deeply into the ground and not daring to look up!
"We... we are following Lord Black Face's orders to come up and inspect if any humans have discovered the entrance to the Underground Palace!" The Qin Protector thought rapidly and almost blurted it out. He understood very well that if he hesitated even slightly, this formidable lord would see through him!
Garo furrowed his brows tightly; his green face showed a hint of paleness as if he had suffered some internal injury and appeared somewhat weak. He couldn't be bothered to think about this fellow's words and simply waved his hand, saying, "Where are Black Face and Bailuo now? What are they doing?"
Upon hearing this, the Qin Protector immediately fell silent. His anxiety grew heavier as countless expressions flashed across his face; he didn't know how to respond to this lord! Because he had no idea that Bailuo was dead or whether Black Face was still alive.
No matter what explanation it was, he could not speak it out loud, because it would cost him his life!
"Reporting to Lord Garo, Lord Bailuo and Lord Black Face, they said they wanted to inspect the Underground Palace, so they should still be inside the Underground Palace right now. As for what exactly they are doing, we are not aware!" Qin Protector took a long time to muster the courage to say this.
However, Garo's frown deepened even further, his deeply furrowed brows revealing his hesitation. He shifted his gaze to an exit of the Underground Palace and released a powerful magical sense!
Qin Protector felt that magical sense pass over his head, causing him to tremble. If the lord in front of him sensed the situation inside the Underground Palace, then his lies would likely be exposed immediately! At that moment, his fate was easy to imagine!
But no matter how afraid he was, all he could do was obey absolutely; without the lord's command, he didn't even dare to stand up!
Garo's magical sense quickly entered the Underground Palace. However, perhaps due to the serious injuries he sustained in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, he couldn't perceive anything significant; only some peculiar scents in the air raised his final suspicion!
The smell of death that resembled the blood of demonic beings ultimately did not escape his alarmingly sensitive magical sense!
"You just said that no humans have entered the Underground Palace, correct?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Protector's eyelids twitched uncontrollably, as if sensing the murderous intent in the lord's tone!
Could it be that he really sensed something?!!! Qin Protector felt increasingly terrified, but since he had said that before, he could not change his statement; otherwise, it would be a foolish exposure!
"Yes, yes! Before we came out, no humans had entered the Underground Palace!" Qin Protector's back was completely drenched in cold sweat, yet he stubbornly insisted on his words!
Hearing this, Garo smiled instead of getting angry: "Very well. So after you came out, a human sneaked in, right?"
"This... this... my lord, we are not too clear about that. However, perhaps Lord Bailuo and Lord Black Face should know!" Qin Protector hurriedly replied.
"Oh? Then you didn't hear any unusual movements at all?"
"No... no!" Qin Protector gritted his teeth and said.
"Deceitful humans! You really shouldn't lie in front of our demon race because no one can hide from my eyes. You know that many people have died inside the Underground Palace. I won't mistake that smell of death and blood. Although I can feel that the fighting sounds have already dissipated, the aftershocks from its eruption are still fermenting. How could you not sense anything at all?"
Garo's smile gradually froze, and his distinctly blue face, which should not have been frightening, instead carried an indescribable sense of weariness and maturity. However, it was those crimson eyes that accentuated his chilling and terrifying aura.
"Y-Your Excellency, I-I don't understand what you are saying!" Qin Protector gritted his teeth, unwilling to speak freely.
Garo's expression turned completely cold. He no longer focused on Qin Protector but shifted his attention to other members of the Evil Cult. Then he said lightly, "Where are your elders?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Protector shuddered, hesitated for about a second, and then replied, "He-He just went patrolling in the northeast direction!"
"Oh, is that so? Then I am giving you a task now. Immediately find someone to call him over; I have some questions for him."
"Y-Yes!" Qin Protector knew he couldn't hide the truth for long but still pretended to be calm. He then signaled a disciple to go find Elder Yang.
The disciple was momentarily stunned but quickly understood and ran off... Perhaps he would never return. Qin Protector thought this way; however, it was much better than leaving himself because Garo had already grown suspicious and would certainly not allow him to go look for him!
If he did that, it would only raise greater suspicion from this demonic warrior!
"Now, come with me..." Garo seemed to have some doubts about his own suspicions after seeing Qin Protector's reaction. He then walked toward an exit of the Underground Palace.
The members of the Evil Cult looked at each other, unsure whether to follow or not!
Qin Protector gritted his teeth and whispered, "When you get the chance later, quietly slip away. I definitely cannot leave; if I go with you, I will surely be discovered."
"B-But Protector, you..." The Evil Cult members clearly understood the consequences of continuing on but couldn't bear to let their protector go to his death alone!
Qin Protector forced a bitter smile and said, "If you all cannot be protected either, the Evil Cult will be completely finished. Go find De; he is our last hope. I hope you can follow him closely!"
After saying this, Qin Protector no longer hesitated and quickly caught up with Garo's pace. However, this action appeared tragically heroic in the eyes of the Evil Cult disciples...
Garo soon led Qin Protector into the entrance of the Underground Palace. This entrance was in the direction they had previously escaped from and was quite far from where Ye Feng and others had once lingered during battle. The atmosphere inside the Underground Palace was difficult to discern; relying solely on smell made it impossible to detect anything in a short time.
The few members of the Evil Cult quietly followed but gradually dispersed. Only Qin Protector remained focused on diverting Garo's attention...
"Sir, I heard you were busy before. Lord Black Face and Lord Bailuo have been talking about you. The elders are also looking forward to your early return. Are you alright?" Qin Protector said with a forced smile.
"These matters are none of your concern. You just need to manage your own responsibilities. This Underground Palace will soon be completely discovered by the martial artists. When that happens, those Heavenly Level Sect fellows will definitely come over. I will prepare a grand feast for them, ensuring they come but do not return!"
When Garo spoke of humans, a chilling light flashed in his eyes, making Qin Protector shudder. He hesitated for a moment before forcing a smile, his hand tightening unconsciously.
As they followed step by step, only these two remained together. Garo stopped at a corner and suddenly turned around without warning! Qin Protector was startled and quickly retreated a few steps...
"Sir, you..."
"Foolish human, do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Do you understand the consequences of betraying our demon clan?" Garo's demeanor had completely turned cold; it seemed he had long suspected Qin Protector's treachery.
With the mask of pretense torn away, Qin Protector knew there was no escape from death. He laughed loudly and said, "Since you've already discovered it, what else is there to say? Come and kill me! I've been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"Oh? That's good. But you must be curious as to why I let your people go. I will tell you this: in the coming time, I will make you understand what it means to wish for death rather than life!"
Qin Protector narrowed his eyes as the feeling of unease erupted within him. His pupils gradually dilated under Garo's gaze as he began to lose consciousness...
"Ah!!!"
