Anxiety surged, heartbeats quickened, and countless emotions converged within the group. In moments of panic, people are most likely to reveal their true nature. At this moment, whether mature like Liao Fan, arrogant like Wang Wei, or stubborn like Liao Fang, they all bowed their heads without exception.
They didn't even have the courage to take another glance at the figures above! This might be the most direct and brutal contrast between the strong and the weak.
In contrast to the commotion beneath the bushes, Bailuo and Black Face above seemed oblivious to what was happening below them. Their meeting in mid-air was more a matter of coincidence.
“How's it going on your side?” Bailuo broke the silence first, asking.
Black Face curled his lip. Although he looked down on this guy in his heart, he still put on a show of respect due to his close relationship with the boss. He replied somewhat cautiously, “I've already instructed the Evil Cult; they're taking action and won't interfere with the boss's plans!”
Bailuo nodded in satisfaction and continued, “That's good. What do you plan to do next?”
Black Face wanted to say, "What I do is none of your business?" But such words could only be thought in his mind. After hesitating for a moment, he restrained himself and replied, “I plan to check out the Underground Palace. I've heard that Lan Xiaoer has been inside for quite a while; we can't let him ruin things!”
Bailuo shook his head upon hearing this, directly dismissing his words: “Even if it's Martial Saint, so what? The secrets within the Underground Palace are beyond human comprehension. This Underground Palace has deep connections with our demon race; it took us a hundred years just to grasp some clues. What can he possibly do?”
Although Black Face knew Bailuo was right, he was still dissatisfied with his tone. It was one thing to speak condescendingly; it was another to treat him like a subordinate. Thus, he rarely retorted, “That’s not necessarily true. I heard that the boss was also ambushed by humans in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons!”
“Bold!” Before Black Face could finish speaking, Bailuo coldly reprimanded him: “The boss's matters are not for you to judge. Mind your own business! Don't wander around recklessly; our identities cannot be exposed. The Evil Cult can know about us, but don’t let other humans discover our tracks! Otherwise! Hmph!”
A series of harsh words stifled Black Face's desire to retort. He felt a surge of anger but had no outlet for it; he could only swallow his frustration and said, “Understood!”
“Kid, I know you're unhappy with me, but I warn you to watch your words in the future. Otherwise, I won’t be able to speak on your behalf with the boss!” A glint flashed in Bailuo's eyes as he spoke threateningly.
Though Black Face trembled with anger, he nodded silently. He clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to beat this guy up while realizing that he had indeed misspoken earlier!
Seeing that Black Face had calmed down somewhat, Bailuo didn’t press him further and simply added at last: “You’d better keep an eye on those guys from the Evil Cult. They seem unwilling to be cannon fodder for our demon race; we can't let them ruin big plans in the end!”
Black Face was momentarily taken aback by the change of topic, then let out a cold chuckle, saying, "Where do they get the audacity? If it weren't for us protecting them all these years, would they have been able to vanish without a trace in the eyes of the major human Sects?"
"Be careful; don't forget that many years ago, Lord Asura also fell into a trap!" Bailuo said with hatred. Back then, he and their leader were minor commanders in the vanguard of Shura Demon King Lu Tong, but due to the despicable tactics of those unparalleled powerhouses, Lord Asura was sealed.
Without their leader, they had no choice but to scatter like birds and beasts. Over the years, they barely survived among those self-righteous human Sects. Finally, after nearly a hundred years, they discovered the secret of Titan's Abyss. If luck was on their side,
they could successfully unlock the secrets of Titan's Abyss and help Lord Asura break free from his seal. The demon race would sweep across the continent once again with ease!
Every time Bailuo thought about this, he felt excited. Black Face also understood the stakes involved and revealed his sharp fangs while envisioning a bright future. Little did they know that the Evil Cult they had controlled for many years already had its own plans.
They had secretly sent letters to various major Sects. At this moment, not only had Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Three Grand Hall Masters arrived, but several Martial Saints from Taiyi Tower and Azure Thunder Sect had also begun investigating this matter!
They could hardly imagine that right beneath their feet were Outer Sect Core Disciples from Taiyi Tower and Azure Thunder Sect, who were eavesdropping on their secret conversation without missing a word!
"Humans back then just got lucky! Once our leader succeeds this time, they won't be so fortunate!" Black Face said with an evil grin! Just thinking about becoming the first contributors to liberate Lord Asura diminished his hatred towards Bailuo significantly.
However, Bailuo harbored other thoughts. He squinted slightly, a glimmer of brilliance lingering in his eyes as if he was contemplating something strange. He muttered, "Old Black, why do you think our leader wants to go to Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons now that he knows the secret of Titan's Abyss?"
This remark brought Black Face back to reality. He recalled how recently Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Trial Disciples had almost been wiped out by the Beast Tide and felt an uncontrollable sense of satisfaction. He then replied, "What else could it be? It must be that our leader wants to toy with the human Sects!"
During that Beast Tide incident, if it weren't for the timely intervention of Heavenly Mechanism Sect's Inner Sect Core Disciples, the new trial participants would have truly faced annihilation. Nevertheless, even so, the resulting disaster was not to be ignored. After receiving the Evil Cult's letter, Fate Hall's Hall Master did not inform his fellow disciples due to certain concerns.
He worried that a top Demon General who had escaped from Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons might cause further chaos. Therefore, he only summoned Hall Masters from Martial Arts Arena and Mystic Array Hall while leaving others behind to guard the Sect and prevent further escalation of events related to Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons!
They could never have imagined that this was intricately connected to the conspiracy in Yue Ma Plain! Listening to Black Face's analysis made Bailuo raise an eyebrow; it seemed like a reasonable explanation at first glance, but he didn't believe it was that simple!
The conspiracy of Blue Stream Villa can no longer be hidden; it's just a matter of time. The boss chose such a sensitive moment to provoke the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's nerves. Was it really just to vent some frustration?
Unable to make sense of it, Bailuo could only assume that the boss's thoughts were beyond their understanding as subordinates. He then said to Black Face, "No matter what, we cannot afford any more mistakes here. I will keep an eye on Lan Xiaoer, and you supervise the Evil Cult!"
"Is that really necessary?" Black Face questioned, not liking being managed by Bailuo. He believed those Evil Cult guys didn't have the guts to cause any trouble, even though he knew they were simply too intimidated by their strength to rebel.
But Bailuo coldly replied, "Just go! Why do you have so many questions?"
Alright, with that one sentence, Black Face was left speechless again. He decided not to argue further, turned around, and flapped his wings, creating a whirlwind that quickly made him disappear!
Left alone in mid-air, Black Face muttered to himself, "Hmph, what’s with the arrogance! Just wait until I reach the next level; I’ll crush you! By then, even the boss will have to side with me!"
After saying this, he turned to leave. However, at that moment, a faint sound suddenly came from below! The noise was almost imperceptible, like a mouse scurrying across the ground! For an ordinary human, it would hardly warrant a second glance!
But demons are creatures beyond human comprehension. Black Face didn’t know what kind of beast he had transformed into but was particularly attentive to this tiny sound. He halted his departure and focused intently on the ground!
This action caused everyone hidden in the bushes to hold their breath! They didn’t dare make a sound! Wang Wei glared at the martial artist who had made the noise with a murderous gaze! The person crouched in the bushes was none other than the missing disciple from the Earth-Level Sect!
Among this ten-person team, this individual stood out because he did not belong to Taiyi Tower or Azure Thunder Sect. Both of those were Heavenly Level Sects and usually interacted with each other since they were all part of the same tier of major sects. Along with Heavenly Mechanism Sect, they formed the three major sects of Sky Abyss Empire!
However, this Earth-Level Sect disciple had gotten separated from his team during this trial and felt somewhat out of place. If it weren’t for his decent cultivation level, Liao Fan wouldn’t have chosen to include him in their group. But he never expected that at such a critical moment, the chain would break on this guy! The nearly inaudible noise was caused by this person moving out of fear and accidentally snapping a twig!
Under normal circumstances, such behavior might be understandable, but given the current situation, it was no wonder Wang Wei glared at him with deadly intent! It was because this one person was about to endanger everyone here!
Even though the more powerful White-faced Scholar had left, they did not believe they could contend with the remaining Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm expert!
The aura this person emitted was enough to instantly kill them all! If it were an early-stage Gangwu Realm expert, Liao Fan might have still felt some fighting spirit, but now that it was a late-stage expert, it was a completely different concept!
Those who entered the Gangwu Realm had already formed their unique aura, but the early, mid, and late stages represented entirely different levels. A late-stage Expert of the Gale Martial Realm could easily defeat three mid-stage experts, and against early-stage ones, they could wipe out a large group in an instant!
Given this level of disparity, let alone a late-stage Origin Martial Realm warrior, even if they all stepped into the Gangwu Realm, they would still be far from being a match for this person!
In such a situation, the commotion caused by this warrior attracted the attention of Black Face above them; it was truly no different from seeking death!
Black Face furrowed his brows as he looked down. His attention was not on the bushes; otherwise, he would have discovered Liao Fan and the others long ago. He was instead staring at the ground beside the bushes, his eyes nearly bulging out as if he could see movements deep within.
It was unclear what he was thinking. In any case, those hiding in the bushes were terrified, especially the warrior who had made the noise; he almost wished for death. Wang Wei even thought about kicking him out, but if he did that, they would have no chance of escaping either!
Liao Fang's fear grew immensely. Based on women's tendency to fear the unknown, she instinctively clutched her brother's clothing, her palms slowly becoming sweaty!
Liao Fan also showed a pained expression. At this point, it seemed pointless to continue hiding. Under the gaze of such a powerful expert, even if they concealed all their cultivation aura, as long as they attracted even a bit of attention, there was no way to hide in these bushes.
The large Rogue Bandits that had passed by earlier simply hadn’t focused their minds on this area. But now? The situation had instantly frozen!
