Under the full cooperation of the Bull Demon Lord Longnu, a large number of Shadow Demons and slaves were dispatched to conduct a thorough search in the remote areas within the territory.
Perhaps it was the favor of the Demon God, or maybe it was sheer luck, but one of the Shadow Demons under Great Demon Master Yue Dao’s command found the woman wanted by the divine oracle beneath a cliff.
As a devout follower of the Demon God, Great Demon Master Yue Dao naturally sought every ans to capture the woman wanted by the divine oracle.
After ticulous planning and at significant cost, even Great Demon Master Yue Dao himself was seriously injured to capture the exhausted woman alive.
Having completed the reverse battle against the War God Snake Wa oracle, Great Demon Master Yue Dao imdiately rushed back to the Demon God Sub-Hall to fulfill the oracle.
Then, Great Demon Master Yue Dao, with the female captive, swiftly headed toward the Demon God Sub-Hall where he served.
Upon reaching the Demon God Sub-Hall, Yue Dao could devoutly worship before the statue of the War God Snake Wa, naturally drawing the attention of the Snake Wa War God to submit the oracle.
The Demon God Sub-Hall, near the territory of Bull Demon Lord Longnu, was considered a dium-sized Demon God Sub-Hall, featuring altars for over fifty mainstream Demon Gods worshipped by the nearby Demon Clan and spanning an area of about a hundred miles.
The Sub-Hall was a palace-like structure, resembling the Imperial Palace of the Great Zhou Dynasty, albeit much smaller.
Through the main hall doors, one could enter the many temples dedicated to the Demon Gods. Each temple did not house a single statue; rather, it seed like groups, with each divine lineage having a temple.
For instance, there was a temple for the War God Elent, another for the Spirit God Lineage, and within each temple, there were often several to dozens of different statues.
The total sanctuary dedicated to nurous Demon Gods worshipped by the Demon Clan was also called the Ten Thousand Gods Palace; of course, that was the Demon Clan’s na for it, while the Human Clan referred to it as the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.
This ti, in order to capture the woman in the divine oracle alive, Great Demon Master Yue Dao undertook the mission secretly, taking only his trusted followers and no one else.
The reason was simple: fulfilling the oracle promised an unprecedented leap, granting, regardless of bloodline, the opportunity to join the Demon God Hall.
However, for those in the Demon God Hall with divine positions, particularly those with a certain rank, completing an oracle would be a monuntal rit.
A golden badge that glimred constantly—whenever they ascended in divine rank, it assured their superiority, and with just a sprinkle of luck, they could beco the designated spokesperson of the Demon God who delivered the oracle, perhaps even becoming the exclusive divine priest of the personal temple of the Demon God.
In short, it was imnsely significant.
Essentially, once a divine position bearer fulfilled an oracle, their advancent within the Demon God Hall would be smooth, and even occasional mistakes would be pardoned due to the oracle completion experience, serving as an amnesty.
Such an important matter, Great Demon Master Yue Dao absolutely would not disclose.
In fact, when returning to the Demon God Hall with the female captive, Yue Dao, to avoid drawing attention, brought only four attendants.
Everything in the plan was perfect.
But just before Yue Dao entered the Demon God Sub-Hall, Branch Hall Master Simon, with over a hundred trusted aides, precisely blocked Yue Dao at the gates of the Demon God Sub-Hall.
"Hand over that woman!" Branch Hall Master Simon’s face was filled with excitent.
Yue Dao’s expression beca exceedingly ugly, then turned into furious anger, as he roared, "Lord Hall Master, this is the fruit of lifeblood and toil of your subordinate, definitely cannot..."
"Silence!"
Simon roared angrily, "You are my Grand Divine Master, your achievents are my achievents! Furthermore, I previously ordered you to fully capture the woman in the oracle!"
"But you had the nerve to act on your own upon receiving information, almost allowing the woman in the oracle to escape, and finally, you intend to covet rit?"
Growing more furious, Simon struck Great Demon Master Yue Dao in the chest with a palm strike. Unexpectedly to everyone, the otherwise powerful Great Demon Master Yue Dao was sent flying by the strike, blood spraying wildly.
However, the onlookers soon understood why: Great Demon Master Yue Dao was seriously injured, with a fist-sized hole in his abdon, surrounded by dark green radiance, looking terrifyingly bizarre.
Gazing at the downed Great Demon Master Yue Dao, Branch Hall Master Simon sneered disdainfully, snatching the female captive from the hands of Yue Dao’s confidant.
Then he laughed heartily as he returned to the Demon God Hall.
"Rember this, this is the outco of going behind my back! This ti, considering Yue Dao’s severe injuries for the oracle, I will let it go, but next ti, I’ll make sure you regret it!" Simon’s expression was indescribably pleased.
The downed Great Demon Master Yue Dao gnashed his teeth audibly, "Simon, you shalessly usurp credit!"
"I’m usurping credit? Who saw it?" Simon turned around with a carefree smile.
At this mont, Great Demon Master Yue Dao’s expression suddenly cald, and he turned to bow towards the void, "The Great Demon God will see the truth!"
"Lord Hall Master, but there’s one thing I must remind you, this woman must be carefully guarded, her power is peculiar, very peculiar, ordinary power cannot control her at all...."
Before Yue Dao finished, Simon impatiently waved a fist at Yue Dao, "Shut up, fool, am I inferior to you? Do I need you to teach how to do things? Starting today, you are to guard the Secret Demon Hall at the furthest back!"
This command elicited soft laughter from the many onlooking Demon Clan clergy, for the Secret Demon Hall was the worst hall in the Demon God Sub-Hall, housing only four statues and a paltry number of followers!
Many clergy mbers looked at Yue Dao’s pitiable state, filled with ridicule and mockery.
There were even so clergy mbers who usually had a good relationship, enjoying the disaster, "I say, Great Demon Master Yue Dao, for such a big matter, why didn’t you block the news?"
"What a pity, such a great rit has flown away...."
Yue Dao’s expression was incomparably gloomy and depressed, but his gaze at these fellows was full of mockery.
How could these fools possibly understand the arrangents of a master so wise?
If it weren’t for him having sent a ssage to the Demon God Sub-Hall early on, leaking this matter to a confidant who had long been bought off by Simon, how could Branch Hall Master Simon so coincidentally block him at the hall entrance?
Hurriedly returning to his residence, Yue Dao took out a small set of Communication Transfer Formation, and sent away a Jade Scroll with only four words on it — Everything is normal!
After capturing the woman in the divine prophecy, Branch Hall Master Simon rely identified her briefly and then hurried to the statue of Snake Wa, the War God of the Counterattack, using the unique Daoist School of the clergy to awaken the avatar projection of Snake Wa, the War God of the Counterattack!
Upon learning that the woman in the prophecy was captured, Snake Wa, who was enjoying the rich offerings sent by the Barbarian Clan, was not as happy as Simon imagined.
Because he was not the one supposed to catch that woman, it was supposed to be the Barbarian Clan.
However, after enjoying the extrely rich offerings from the Barbarian Clan, the affair needed to be handled beautifully, as Snake Wa, the War God of the Counterattack, still had such professional integrity.
He casually sent a divine order down to the Divine Palace in the Ten Thousand Gods Palace, ordering them to escort the woman in the prophecy to the Ten Thousand Gods Palace as quickly as possible, where his follower would receive her.
The divine order of the Demon God was naturally t with extre swiftness by the high and mighty divine priests in the Ten Thousand Gods Palace.
After confirming this matter, they contacted Simon, and then sent a Grand Divine Master with several Divine Masters to escort her personally.
Because according to the divine prophecy from Snake Wa, the woman had sowhat special powers.
The people from the Ten Thousand Gods Palace ca, and Simon was naturally extrely happy, as this represented the impending completion of the divine prophecy, and he would also be rewarded by Snake Wa, the War God of the Counterattack.
In high spirits, he took the Grand Divine Master from the Ten Thousand Gods Palace, whose position was of very high authority, to the underground prison, and after opening the layers of Formation Restrictions, Branch Hall Master Simon was dumbfounded!
Completely dumbfounded!
The female captive he had personally locked in the underground prison a day ago had disappeared into thin air!
Vanished into thin air!
The most fatal thing was that the female captive was gone, and the confidant guards he arranged, and the Formation Restrictions he personally set up were all intact.
At this mont, Simon felt a sensation of going mad!
Divine prophecy not being fulfilled was due to limited ability, no problem!
But not fulfilling the divine prophecy and deceiving the Demon God was the great cri of blasphemy!
Simon was absolutely unwilling to admit to the great cri of blasphemy.
To clear himself of the great cri of blasphemy, Simon even called in Great Demon Master Yue Dao, whom he had dealt with before, to testify for him.
The word of Yue Dao alone, of course, could not convince the Grand Divine Masters of the Ten Thousand Gods Palace; they naturally had to investigate personally.
So, all those involved in this matter, whether they were clergy mbers or ordinary mbers of the Demon Clan, had to be investigated.
Of course, the main targets of the investigation were Yue Dao’s confidants and the Bull Demon Lord Longnu.
During the investigation, the Grand Divine Masters of the Ten Thousand Gods Palace discovered two major issues.
First, Yue Dao had indeed captured the woman in the prophecy because, even after three days, the power in the wound on Yue Dao’s body had not disappeared.
The Grand Divine Master took a sample for Snake Wa God to identify, and the result was naturally true.
That was a wound caused by the Creation Power passed down by the Barbarian Clan; Creation Power, in fact, is Divine Power, which ordinary Spiritual Power cannot dispel or heal!
So now, things were clear.
Great Demon Master Yue Dao had indeed captured the female captive in the prophecy, but Branch Hall Master Simon, in seizing the rit, not only snatched the rit but also disregarded the warnings of Great Demon Master Yue Dao, and in his carelessness, allowed the female captive in the prophecy, who was so difficult to catch, to escape alive!
As for why she could escape, if there is Creation Power similar to Divine Power, the escape can be explained!
This was one of the great cris of Great Demon Master Yue Dao!
The second thing discovered during the investigation, which further enraged the Ten Thousand Gods Palace and the Demon God Palace, was this!
The Branch Hall Master had almost killed a newly born Soul Demon Sovereign, and more because of this reason, frightened the first newly born Soul Demon Sovereign in hundreds of thousands of years away!
Frightened him into disappearing from the human world!
