"Young friend Ye Feng, may I ask how long you have been trapped in this Underground Palace?" Along the way, Elder Yang began to probe subtly, seemingly wanting to know if there were any other intruders. If there were too many, he would inevitably face consequences from the demonic beings.
Ye Feng naturally could not disclose certain matters, but he did share some of the true circumstances, such as how long he had been trapped here. He omitted the most crucial parts, and after some exchange, Elder Yang had a rough understanding of this fellow's predicament.
Now, what lay before him was whether or not to eliminate these two to silence them. At this point, he had already led Ye Feng and the others in several large circles, with no intention of exiting this Underground Palace at all!
Qin Protector grew somewhat impatient and finally communicated through Vital Energy, "Elder, are we not going to take action?"
"Not yet! Wait a moment! Perhaps we can learn about the recent movements of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect from this disciple. I am very curious if those major Sects have received my Letter!" Elder Yang said cryptically, his eyes flashing with an increasingly strange light.
Upon hearing this, Qin Protector rarely calmed down. This matter concerned whether their Evil Cult could see the light of day again. Back then, under the siege of various Sects, the Evil Cult had essentially become a name without substance. The more than twenty disciples present were already their most core members!
On the outskirts of the Underground Palace, there were probably another hundred of their disciples. However, with a total of fewer than a thousand members, the Evil Cult could no longer become the feared demonic sect it once was!
Because of this, they had no choice but to rely on the demonic beings here. Although it was shameful to be manipulated by the monsters of the demonic race, at least it provided them with some chance of survival!
"Senior Yang, right? Actually, I have a few questions I would like to ask for your guidance. May I inquire if you could share?" Ye Feng finally seized the opportunity to ask after being questioned extensively.
Elder Yang was slightly taken aback but smiled kindly and said, "Young friend, feel free to ask any questions you have!"
Ye Feng nodded slightly and revealed a look of curiosity as he asked, "I am quite curious about which Sect you hail from. Seeing that you have brought so many disciples with you, you must be from a significant sect!"
Though his words were not explicit, they struck home effectively!
After hearing this, Elder Yang's expression changed instantly, and those around him from the Evil Cult also darkened. With just a glance from the elder, they would be ready to act at any moment!
However, Elder Yang did not tear his face over this matter. Instead, he pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "You don't need to worry about this, my friend. I and these disciples do not come from any major Sect. To mention it would not be of any interest to you, so let's not bring it up!"
"Oh? Is it possible that you are not from the Sky Abyss Empire?" Ye Feng asked, stretching out his tone in surprise, seemingly unwilling to give up on this question!
Elder Yang immediately darkened his expression, his sinister gaze fixed on Ye Feng, as if trying to discern whether this kid was being intentional or if there was something else at play! However, no matter how one looked at it, the young man before him appeared innocent; it was Brother Shi beside him who seemed unusually calm.
"Hehe, why must you be so fixated on this question? I believe you might not be interested in knowing, just like your companion Brother Shi here, who has been rather silent since the beginning!" Elder Yang shifted the topic and directed the suspicion towards the Flying Spirit Lion.
Ye Feng was slightly taken aback and sighed inwardly. Given the current trend of development, it was impossible for the Flying Spirit Lion's nature to go unnoticed!
However, he was indeed very eager to know which force these individuals belonged to since they were certainly not Trial Disciples. Could it be that this Underground Palace was involved with other Sects? Unfortunately, these people before him did not seem like righteous individuals at all!
Just as both sides harbored their own suspicions, suddenly a scout hurried over and whispered something into Elder Yang's ear, causing the elder's expression to change dramatically!
Qin Protector also sensed something was off and approached. The makeshift team immediately fell into chaos; Ye Feng and the Flying Spirit Lion were momentarily sidelined as it appeared these people no longer cared about them!
"Is it confirmed? Are there really two Xuanwu Realm experts leading the way?" Elder Yang asked with a face full of dread, using Vital Energy to communicate with the scout!
The scout looked fearful and timid; clearly terrified after spotting that group. This was understandable since among them, the strongest was only Elder Yang at the peak of mid Gangwu Realm, which would be utterly insignificant against Martial Saints.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been controlled by the demonic race's Black Face and Bailuo for so many years!
"I can confirm without a doubt! However, I also discovered another person! No, he is not human!" The scout replied tremulously.
This revelation left Elder Yang even more astonished as he hurriedly asked, "Who?"
"Yes, yes, Lord Black Face! Lord Black Face is following that traveler. I saw him give me a signal from behind!" The whistleblower said this with a sigh of relief.
As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Yang's expression changed repeatedly. The Qin Protector also said worriedly, "Elder, this is not good! Since Black Face is watching them, we should quickly take a detour!"
"No! Since Black Face has discovered our whistleblower, he must know we are nearby. He is definitely preparing to take action against that traveler. Do you think he signaled our whistleblower for no reason? He wants us to help!" Elder Yang said maliciously.
The Qin Protector was immediately stunned and said, "Two Martial Saints, what does he want to do? Even if we go to help, it would just be sending ourselves to death!"
They all knew that Black Face was a peak expert in the Late Stage of the Gale Martial Realm. Such a demon could already control the current Evil Cult. However, facing two Martial Saints, even one would be enough to lead to death!
Elder Yang couldn't have overlooked this point, but he speculated even deeper.
"I'm afraid that Black Face has gained some opportunity within the Underground Palace. Moreover, the strength of a transformed demon is inherently superior to that of humans. Since he is watching that traveler, he must be waiting for the right moment. I think he likely needs us to lure away one of the Martial Saints!"
"This... isn't this just using us as cannon fodder?" the Qin Protector said angrily.
Elder Yang sneered, "Haven't they been doing this for years? You should not be angry but rather consider how to survive in such a situation!" As the current leader of the Evil Cult, his analysis was quite on point.
Unfortunately, the Qin Protector did not have such insight and was filled with frustration. He snorted a few times and fell silent. He knew that since Black Face had discovered their sentinel, they could not escape alone; otherwise, if Black Face pursued them afterward, it would mean certain death!
"It seems we really have to take risks this time! It's unfortunate that the people from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect did not receive our letter in time and ended up in this damned place! Otherwise, they would have discovered the demons here long ago!"
At this moment, Elder Yang did not know that the travelers led by those two Martial Saints were actually the first to arrive at the Underground Palace—the Hall Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect—who had received his letter. He only understood that before confirming whether the various Heavenly Mechanism Sect factions were willing to eradicate the demons or show mercy and not kill them outright,
he must obey that Black Face!
"Hey, stop overthinking it. Get ready to act. Let's draw one of the Martial Saints away, and then let Black Face deal with the other one!"
"Elder! Are you really sure about this? That's a Martial Saint!" Qin Protector reluctantly reminded him in the end. Although he was also a master of the Gangwu Realm, he understood the vast difference between that and a strong opponent from the Xuanwu Realm. The gap was like heaven and earth!
But Elder Yang maintained a serious expression and said, "If you have a better plan, I don't mind hearing it! If not, then shut up!"
"I..." Qin Protector had no choice but to fall silent. At this moment, they overlooked Ye Feng and Brother Shi!
Ye Feng noticed something from their expressions and stepped forward, asking, "Senior, is there a problem?"
Elder Yang was taken aback for a moment before realizing that these two troublemakers were still in his group. His expression changed several times; killing these two now would likely alert the group ahead. However, they definitely couldn't let these two participate in the ambush against that group!
After thinking for a moment, Elder Yang forced a smile and said, "Young friend, we've detected some powerful creatures ahead. It might be best for you and this friend to avoid them; otherwise, there could be danger!"
At this point, Ye Feng had already sensed the presence of individuals ahead but hadn't guessed it was Qianjizi and the others. Hearing Elder Yang's words, he replied, "That won't do! Since there's danger, we should all face it together!"
His words were indeed moving, but Qin Protector impatiently retorted first, "With you around, you'll only cause us trouble. You should obediently follow our people and take another route! Don't mess things up!"
Under normal circumstances, this reckless guy would have been reprimanded by Elder Yang. However, given the current situation, Elder Yang remained unusually calm and seemed to agree with his words!
Ye Feng felt somewhat awkward; his displayed realm was only at the fifth level of Origin Martial Realm, which couldn't compare to these people. As for Brother Shi, he was even better at hiding his strength. However, when Flying Spirit Lion heard such aggressive words from the other side, he nearly couldn't hold back from attacking!
It was Ye Feng who tugged at his sleeve and said with a wry smile, "Then we'll leave it to you all. I wish everyone a safe return; my friend and I will just step aside!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Yang rarely showed a gentle expression as he said, "Yes, I will arrange for my disciples to escort you. Once we resolve the crisis ahead, we will meet up with you!"
"Alright!" Ye Feng promised, immediately following a disciple of the Evil Cult away...
Elder Yang and Qin Protector watched their departing figures, sighing in relief, but soon they would face an even more difficult situation!
"Elder! Should we go now?"
"We need to plan how to draw away one of the Martial Saints or at least half of them!"
"Okay, I think we just need to have a few disciples move in front of them, and they will naturally chase after them!"
"Yes! Let's do it this way! Have the departing disciples be quick about it. Also, you should keep an eye on Ye Feng and the others; I feel they are not that simple!"
"But Elder, what about you?"
"Don't worry about me. When paths cross in a narrow space, this may be our fate. If we can escape this calamity, then Heaven has not abandoned the Evil Cult!"
