Liao Fan and the others were unaware of the true identities of the two demons above them, but they still gleaned a lot of remarkable information from their conversation. For instance, deep beneath the Yue Ma Plain lies a Titan's Abyss, and the secret of the Underground Palace is part of Blue Stream Villa's conspiracy.
He had long suspected that Lan Yuanfeng was not as simple as he appeared, but he never anticipated that this Martial Saint would have such intentions, luring disciples from various Sects to their deaths to cover up his schemes. Before he could feel anger about this, Liao Fan was startled by the next part of their conversation. Recently, during the Heavenly Mechanism Sect's trial in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, a Beast Tide occurred. This significant event concerned the entire Sky Abyss Empire, and thus Taiyi Tower and Azure Thunder Sect had been informed. However, he never expected it to be connected to the demons before him.
The leader they mentioned was the top Demon General responsible for triggering the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons' Beast Tide? Like Bailuo, Liao Fan did not understand the implications of this top Demon General's actions, but now he sensed a hint of truth.
However, more than that, he was concerned about what secrets lay within the so-called Titan's Abyss that would compel Blue Stream Villa to risk being annihilated by various Sects for such a conspiracy. Surely, the sights within the Underground Palace must be extraordinary!
This even made the eager-to-grow Liao Fan contemplate entering the Underground Palace, though it remained just a thought! After all, just imagining how dangerous that legendary terrifying demon palace could be was enough to deter him, not to mention he had no idea where the entrance was!
Only Liao Fang gripping his clothing tightened his heart further. He was already prepared to escape with all his might; facing the demons above offered no glimmer of victory. Whether he could escape was still uncertain, but at least he needed to be ready!
Shaking off his fear, he glanced at Wang Wei, who had turned pale. The Earth-Level Sect Warrior whose movements had revealed their location looked lifeless and devoid of energy. He couldn't help but shake his head; he had thought this team he formed was quite good.
Now it seemed otherwise; only in such life-and-death moments could one truly see a person's or a team's worth!
Liao Fan clenched his fists, unwilling to die here. He planned to gradually release his cultivation. If he couldn't win or escape, he still had to try! If one lacked even the courage to attempt something, then they were unworthy of being a martial artist!
Just as he held onto this thought, Liao Fang suddenly pinched him! This action could have countless interpretations; generally speaking, it might indicate nervousness. However, Liao Fan was slightly taken aback; he understood that his sister's anxious gesture was not merely that—it felt more like a warning!
A warning? Realizing this, Liao Fang looked up at the sky. If there was a need to remind him of their movements in such a situation, it must be due to that Black-Faced Demon Clan in mid-air. However, when he looked up, his entire body jolted because there was no sign of that demon!
Had it left?!!! Before Liao Fan could feel joy at this thought, Liao Fang tugged at his clothing again. Instantly, his heart plummeted because he sensed that powerful and terrifying aura had not vanished; rather, it felt more real and closer than before!
In an almost instantaneous reaction, following his sense of danger, he turned his head! Sure enough! The demon that had vanished in mid-air had not left; instead, it had descended to the ground and stood less than ten yards away from them!
Realizing this fact made Liao Fan swallow hard and inwardly curse: What on earth is this damned demon doing? It discovered us and yet isn't making a move! What is it waiting for?
His intention was certainly not for that Black Face to attack; he simply couldn't comprehend—hadn't that guy noticed them? How could that be possible? With such a figure and at such a distance scrutinizing them, even a rat couldn't hide—let alone so many people!
But if one were to say it had noticed them yet descended nearby without looking their way anymore—it created an unsettling uncertainty. Did it notice someone hiding in the bushes? This question hung over everyone's heads like Damocles' sword!
Ultimately, it was Liao Fang who noticed something amiss: that guy seemingly hadn't discovered them!
He was intently staring at the ground beneath him, much like the expression he had in the air—focused and dazed. It seemed as if something below the ground was deeply attracting him.
What could it be? Liao Fan and the others were puzzled, but they were secretly relieved that the terrifying demon race had not stopped because of the commotion in the bushes. At least, they did not believe that such a powerful and fearsome figure would engage in psychological warfare or play hide-and-seek with them.
Strong individuals do not possess such malicious interests, and demons are even less likely to. Most of them are bloodthirsty and ruthless in the human world. Thus, Liao Fan felt slightly reassured and couldn't help but glance at the earth-level Sect Disciple who was nearly wetting his pants from fear, giving him a reassuring look.
After all, it was not his concern. As the team leader, he felt it necessary to comfort his team members. However, Wang Wei lacked such grace; he shot a cold glance at the martial artist, his eyes conveying an unspoken meaning. Even if they could miraculously escape this disaster, he did not want to tolerate this person any longer.
Of course, the immediate crisis had not yet been resolved; after all, the demon who was hard to describe had not left! They were just staring at him with puzzled expressions, wondering whether he was playing tricks on them or if there was indeed something underground.
With his inexplicable actions, everyone focused intently on the ground he was observing while also listening carefully! To their surprise, they actually heard some sounds! The noise resembled that of the martial artist who almost exposed their location earlier, but there were still some differences!
"Thump thump thump!" "Thump thump thump!" The sound coming from beneath the ground was not loud but rhythmically spread up to the surface. If one did not listen closely, they would easily overlook it. However, once they concentrated, it became apparent!
They did not know that Black Faced Transformation was a dark bat; this creature is extremely sensitive to movements in darkness. Often, it can ignore surface noises but never forgets sounds coming from underground!
The Black Face before them was drawn to this sound and couldn't help but stare at its source on the ground, remaining motionless as if deep in thought. Finally, under Liao Fan's bewildered gaze, he suddenly moved!
His movement was swift as he stomped his foot down on the ground! This sudden action caused vibrations! The ground then cracked open with fissures extending ten meters away! This was merely a normal stomp from him, yet its power was immense!
Liao Fan and others gasped in shock as they realized the gap between them and him! However, they were more concerned about what changes would occur due to the commotion beneath the ground.
Unexpectedly, although Black Face's stomp created cracks on the surface, it did not exaggerate to the point of breaking through the earth entirely. Instead, it formed a depression without any further abnormalities; surprisingly, that rhythmic thumping sound was interrupted!
Black Face frowned and muttered irritably, "Could it be that my ears are malfunctioning?" Despite hearing no sound anymore, he still doubted his hearing!
Liao Fan and others nearly burst into laughter upon hearing his mumbling from the bushes! Alright, they had to admit that he had quite a sense of humor! However, this feeling only lasted for a moment! In an instant, Black Face revealed his fierce demeanor again!
He stomped his foot once more! The terrifying power of Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm erupted! There was no need for any Martial Technique release; after transforming into a beast form, demons relied solely on their inherent strength! In some ways, this resembled that of legendary Titans!
Whether these two beings shared a common ancestor is another matter entirely! Liao Fan and others only knew that if this foot landed on someone, regardless of who they were—so long as their strength did not exceed Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm—they would be finished!
They trembled uncontrollably but tried hard to control their bodies' shaking amplitude to avoid drawing attention from that terrifying demon!
Because of this stomp, the depression in the ground became even larger, almost shattering an area of ten square feet! The oval-shaped pit was filled with black soil remnants and showed no signs of anything buried underground! Black Face furrowed his brows tighter as if searching for justification for his actions.
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand the situation before him! His expression gradually turned cold, and he muttered to himself, "Could it be that after staying in the Underground Palace for too long, I've gone mad?"
No one could answer him because no one could comprehend his behavior. However, even Liao Fan and the others felt that the thumping sound they had just heard was not an illusion. The steady rhythm sounded like someone was striking stones to create fire.
Yet, due to the layers of black earth, it didn't seem real, but it was enough to make them aware that there was definitely something down here!
Black Face's self-talk seemed more like a sign of his own distrust. Silence lingered for a long time as Liao Fang and the others looked at this terrifying demon. Their mental state had reached a critical point; any further unexpected events could completely shatter their defenses!
Fortunately, nothing else unexpected occurred. It seemed that heaven had played enough tricks on them! Black Face, still puzzled, didn't dwell on it any longer. He appeared to be particularly open-minded and muttered a few phrases in a language humans couldn't understand before following Bailuo's previous path and flew away!
Liao Fan and the others waited for about several breaths after the Killing God flew away before they finally felt relieved and slowly exhaled a long breath! Wang Wei, unable to contain his restless nature, charged at the warrior who had almost gotten them killed and shouted, "If you dare pull any more tricks, I'll kill you!"
Not directly kicking this guy out of the bushes was already Wang Wei's way of showing Liao Fan some respect! Liao Fan understood this guy's mentality and could only mediate with a few gentle words, "Alright, alright, we made it through safely, so let's not blame Brother Zhang; he didn't mean it!"
The man referred to as Brother Zhang looked gratefully at Liao Fan, but Liao Fang turned her head away in embarrassment for her brother's shamelessness. She knew very well that this guy actually wanted to kick Brother Zhang out of the team immediately. However, by doing so now, it made him appear magnanimous.
Human emotions can sometimes be simple yet ruthless. On this plain, whoever can gather the most hearts will have a greater chance of survival!
