Yue i and two other demons near Demon Lying Abyss were watching the battle, but nobody noticed that a sneaky person was heading towards the corpse of the Demon Snake Turtle.
Long Baobao nervously bit his lip, he couldn’t see Ye Lingyue, but he could vaguely feel that Ye Lingyue had left.
He wanted to ask Feng Xun, but Feng Xun covered his mouth.
Suddenly, Long Baobao saw that the head of the Demon Snake Turtle in front of them disappeared abruptly.
It seed he understood sothing; after a short while, Ye Lingyue returned.
After a glance at the Ti Hourglass, they had less than two hours left. Ye Lingyue imdiately took out several Flying Elixirs, and after the three of them took them, they didn’t hesitate and left the Demon Lying Abyss.
anwhile, Chen Mu was still exchanging blows with the child-looking demon among the three great demons.
After several rounds of confrontation, neither side gained any advantage.
Yue i also couldn’t help feeling tense; the third Soul Stabilizing Incense she lit had already burned through a third, and their ti left inside the Demon Awakening Gate was running short.
How unlucky, not only did they fail to find the Divine Beast, they killed only a Demon Snake Turtle and incurred the wrath of three mysterious demons.
Yue i was irritated; suddenly, she noticed that the Demon Snake Turtle she killed earlier near the Demon Lying Abyss was gone.
Her eyes widened abruptly as she shouted.
"Stop! The Demon Snake Turtle is gone."
Upon hearing that, Chen Mu and the demon both retreated, and together with the other two demons, they all turned their attention towards the Demon Lying Abyss.
Indeed, the Demon Snake Turtle that was there before had disappeared while they were fighting.
The Demon Snake Turtle was already dead; its corpse wouldn’t have vanished into thin air, leaving only one possibility.
There was another person here!
Besides Chen Mu, Yue i, and the three great demons, a third party had been hiding nearby all along.
"The scent of the Moonflower King has also disappeared!"
The three great demons also noticed that the last trace of the Moonflower King’s scent had vanished from the air.
The two sides looked at each other; Chen Mu felt like vomiting blood when he thought of the Demon Core that was still not extracted from the Demon Snake Turtle.
"Human Clan, is the Moonflower King truly not on you?" The elder demon’s expression was also quite ugly.
Had they known that the Moonflower King was not with these two, they wouldn’t have gone to all this trouble.
"What Moonflower King are you talking about, it was clearly you who killed my junior brother." Chen Mu, having expended a lot of Qi in the scuffle, said impatiently.
"What junior brother of yours? We three brothers have only just arrived; your person is dead, what does it have to do with us?" The three great demons looked utterly baffled.
"Senior Brother Chen, sothing’s not right here. These three, they seem to be of the Wood Demon lineage, the fluctuations of demonic power on them are all of the Wood Attribute; the one who ambushed An Yang used the Power of Earth. I’m afraid we’ve all fallen for soone else’s plot to create discord," Yue i, discovering the inconsistency of the three demons’ demon power attributes, asserted that soone else lying in wait ambushed them.
When Chen Mu heard that, he roared in anger.
"Who is it! Who is the coward that dares to sche against Chen Mu – if I catch you, I will make sure you die a terrible death!"
But Chen Mu’s outburst was already aningless.
Because Ye Lingyue and the others had already taken the Flying Elixir and escaped to so unknown place.
On the other side, the three major demons were also muttering.
"Boss, sothing’s not right. This man and woman are using official martial arts from the Human Clan; they couldn’t possibly possess the Moonflower King. I’m afraid we’ve really been fooled."
The three major demons regretted deeply, because they were a step too late and actually missed the Moonflower King.
"Well, since the Moonflower King has been born, unless it has fallen into the hands of the Demon Ancestor, it will surely appear in the Demon Domain again. This place is also the essential path to the Demon Domain. As long as we three brothers claim territory and rule it, we can always catch the rightful owner of the Moonflower King."
Both groups did not benefit from the encounter and thus lost interest in further skirmishes. Yue i and Chen Mu could only carry An Yang’s corpse back to the Demon Awakening Gate reluctantly.
The three major demons could only retreat into the depths of the Demon Lying Abyss and disappeared without a trace.
Six hours were about to pass.
As the sand in the Ti Hourglass held by Ye Lingyue trickled past five and a half hours, the three of them finally returned smoothly to the entrance of the Demon Awakening Gate, thanks to the joint effects of the Invisibility Elixir and Flying Elixir.
The towering Demon Awakening Gate, reaching into the clouds, still stood in front.
When Ye Lingyue and the others returned, Little Zhiyo, Little Wuya, and Little Qiu Tian had also made their way back.
Even Little Corpse did not disappoint and arrived back in ti.
Ye Lingyue did not even have ti to ask about the hunting results of the several small beasts before leaving the Demon Awakening Gate and returning to Sifang City.
The mont they stepped out of the Demon Awakening Gate, the bright yet gentle light of the rfolk Pearl illuminated the path ahead.
The scenery in the Underground Well Palace was the sa as before.
Ye Lingyue glanced at the Sifang City Lord again.
He still sat there like a wooden stake, guarding the Array, oblivious to everything happening outside.
The three of them, along with a few small beasts, took advantage of the Sifang City Lord not yet waking up and hastily left the Underground Well Palace.
There was only half an hour left until the six-hour deadline.
And Ye Lingyue and the others had already climbed the stone stairs out of the underground palace and returned to the surface again.
When they entered the underground, it was around midnight, and now they had returned to the surface, it was after noon.
The noonday sunlight was blinding, causing everyone’s eyes to experience a mont of discomfort.
Ye Lingyue looked at the Ti Hourglass again; because they were inside the Demon Awakening Gate, they missed the announcent ti for the new issue of the Sifang Ranking on the fifth day. However, Ye Lingyue did not feel regretful. She looked at the Four Directions Token from An Yang, and the accumulated hunting numbers made her smile curve her eyes.
Chen Mu and Yue i had not returned yet. Ye Lingyue thought of the expressions that might have appeared on their faces when they found out the Devil Snake Turtle was missing, and she couldn’t help but unleash a laugh.
"Long Baobao, this ti you really ought to thank Chen Mu and Yue i," Ye Lingyue handed An Yang’s Four Directions Token to Long Baobao.
"Sister Yue, this doesn’t seem quite right, that Four Directions Token was obtained by your efforts," Long Baobao scratched his head, feeling embarrassed.
"Who said so, it’s Little Corpse that made the great contribution; it’s your Beast Pet. Moreover, we agreed early on, fair sharing; you get the Four Directions Token, and I got a Demon Snake Turtle corpse. Each takes what they need; no one has taken advantage of the other."
Ye Lingyue shrugged indifferently.
Then, Long Baobao hesitantly accepted the Four Directions Token.
At this mont, the effects of the Invisibility Elixir on Ye Lingyue and the others had worn off, and all three revealed their forms. They were about to leave the temple, talking and laughing, when Little Wuya suddenly let out a sharp scream, shivering as she pointed at a clump of Moonflower flowers at their feet.
"There’s soone!"
