Demon God Temple, main gate.
The sharp gaze of the Demon God Temple Guard landed on Bai Mani as he sized her up.
Bai Mani looked calm, but her heart was anything but calm.
The deed she was about to do was a sure capital offense!
One of soul dispersing and dying without a trace!
She hoped everything would go smoothly.
A White Light flew over, and after the guard read the ssage, he stepped aside to open the path.
"Enter!"
Bai Mani grunted acknowledgnt, passed the guard, and entered the outermost gate of the Demon God Temple.
The Demon God Temple was a massive fortress, constructed entirely of black tal connecting to the Sky Do, with a magnificent aura.
The lower levels of the Demon God Temple housed the Demon God Temple Guard Army, the middle levels contained various departnts, and above that was the eting hall, with the residence of the Demon Emperor at the very top, though most Demon Emperors weren’t at the temple.
Demon Saint Valley was located behind and to the side of the Demon God Temple, within a few tens of miles, very close to the Demon God Temple, making this mission’s most challenging part.
If it were farther away, even with a Quasi-Saint in charge, one could forcibly attack; however, at such a short distance, even a slight disturbance would be detected by the Demon God Temple, and experts would swarm out instantly. Who could withstand that?
Bai Mani entered through the gate and passed two more heavily guarded gates before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She had finally made it inside!
She glanced in the direction of the Demon Saint Valley and took out the Linglong Tower from her pocket. At a corner, she casually threw it into the flower bed by the roadside.
Bai Mani continued walking towards the Demon God Temple without stopping.
The Linglong Tower silently sank into the soil and then slowly burrowed deeper, until it was deep enough. Gradually, the tower enlarged and ford a solid underground space.
With a flash of light, Lin Chen dashed out from the Linglong Tower, put it away, used an Earth Escape technique, and slowly headed towards the Demon Saint Valley.
The Demon God Temple was triple-protected, with detection asures both above and below ground, making it impossible to break in from outside, even using Earth Escape. But now, Bai Mani had already brought them inside, allowing him to move freely underground.
Yes, Lin Chen hadn’t yet figured out how he would escape. He could only take it one step at a ti.
If things went well, he could control soone to lead him out. If not, he would hide in the Linglong Tower, isolating all probes and hiding underground, inert as a stone!
Surely the Demon Emperor wouldn’t completely demolish the entire Demon God Temple and utterly pulverize this face of Heaven and Earth to check bit by bit?
Lin Chen had considered having Bai Mani et him, but if sothing went wrong, her presence would make her the most likely suspect, more easily targeted.
Once the Linglong Tower was hidden in her possession and locked onto during their escape, it would be a dead-end, with no way to heaven and no door to the ground.
Lin Chen easily reached the entrance of the Demon Saint Valley, located a few tens of miles away. He slowed his pace, moving bit by bit until he appeared on top of a mountain cliff.
Eyes that looked no different from the rocks on the precipice suddenly appeared, providing Lin Chen a view of the entrance to the Demon Saint Valley.
A blood-red Barrier enveloped the entire Demon Saint Valley, concealing its scene within. At the entrance, there were five small pavilions, with one person sitting in each, likely the guards of the Demon Saint Valley.
In the highest pavilion sat a robust middle-aged man, the Quasi-Saint Baili Zhan on duty.
Lin Chen rely glanced, and Baili Zhan, seemingly having a sense, looked up.
Lin Chen, who had slightly opened his eyes, quickly closed them completely and remained motionless, blending into the mountain fully.
Baili Zhan swept a glance but didn’t find anything suspicious and casually withdrew his gaze.
With the Demon God Temple right ahead, who would be foolish enough to seek trouble in the Demon Saint Valley?
"You can’t even enter once you arrive!"
From ancient tis till now, the Demon Saint Valley has never had any incidents, so even the Quasi-Saints and Demon Lords stationed here treat this duty as a routine task. They co here solely to diate and comprehend, to pass the ti until their shifts change.
After Lin Chen had grasped the situation, he no longer moved; he quietly waited.
According to the arranged ti, the attack from Baili Town should start soon, and, if successful, Baili Zhan would quickly receive a distress signal from Baili Town.
He waited for half a day.
While Lin Chen was still waiting for the ssage, Baili Zhan, sitting atop the High Stage, suddenly opened his eyes and looked toward the pendant hanging around his waist.
The pendant shone brightly!
Baili Zhan’s complexion drastically changed, he pointed a finger at the pendant, and instantly, the Array Formation light-shadow flashed across it, and a ssage wrapped in golden light flew out.
"Baili Town has fallen, return imdiately!"
Baili Zhan’s face turned ashen. He quickly stood up, glanced at the Demon God Temple in the distance, paused for a mont, and then made a decision.
"There’s an ergency in my family; I’ll be back soon, you guys keep watch."
The four Demon Lords were slightly surprised, but it was only a slight surprise.
Who doesn’t encounter an ergency?
Such things aren’t unprecedented.
Well, let him go. Missing one person won’t matter. It’s not like anything will happen, right?
"Go on then!"
"We’re here, don’t worry!"
Transforming into a golden light, Baili Zhan instantly vanished, reaching the direction of the Demon God Temple’s main gate in a blink and rushing out, disappearing from sight.
On top of the cliff, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up—Baili Zhan had left!
Just as their group had anticipated, he didn’t seek another Quasi-Saint to replace him but chose to leave directly!
Opportunity had arrived!
Now, only four Demon Lords remained, making the task much simpler.
Lin Chen’s figure instantly vanished, he used Earth Escape and crossed the canyon in a flash, appearing at the highest pavilion.
This place was also where Baili Zhan would usually ditate, situated at the highest point overseeing the entire mouth of the valley.
The Linglong Tower radiated golden light, Zhen Liuxue and Duan Tian appeared; Zhen Liuxue’s Ti Domain instantly unfolded, covering the whole area of the valley mouth. Four silent fire dragons erged from Duan Tian and swiftly moved towards the four n.
The instant the domain enveloped them, the four Demon Lords sensed it.
Where did this domain co from?
Wasn’t it Baili Zhan’s location?
Didn’t Baili Zhan leave? Who is there?
Despite being on guard here, they never expected that soone would infiltrate this place and openly attack them. Consequently, they hesitated subconsciously for an instant.
In just that instant, the force of the domain had completely enveloped them, and the entire area was utterly dominated by Zhen Liuxue.
By the ti they realized sothing was wrong, they felt as if they were stripped naked in an icy, snowy land, utterly powerless. Seeing the four fire dragons coming their way, the eyes of the four n revealed imnse despair.
Suddenly, a jade pendant on one of the Demon Lords shattered, a magnificent surge of spiritual power burst forth, brutally opening a gap in Zhen Liuxue’s domain. A beam of golden light abruptly flew up from him, heading in the direction of the Demon God Temple.
