Huang Tao stood up, and the many Golden Sword Sect disciples behind him also rose, a dark and dense mass.
The passage leading to the entrance of the Immortal Demon Channel was now unobstructed, with no others blocking the way ahead.
At this mont, Bai Mani could no longer care about the gazes of others and hurriedly made her way towards the Immortal Demon Channel.
Seeing Bai Mani walk swiftly, Huang Tao was startled.
He did not know the urgency in Bai Mani’s heart and could not help complaining. Had they not waited long enough? Couldn’t she wait a little longer?
Did she have to run so fast and attract attention?
Huang Tao had no choice but to cooperate with Bai Mani, quickening his pace while also shouting back to cover their movents, "Everyone, move swiftly. Don’t keep the people behind waiting too long."
Logically, as the team leader, Huang Tao should have been the last to enter the passage, ensuring that everyone went through and crossed over, but now he had no choice but to keep pace with Bai Mani.
"Stay close to and hurry up!"
With Huang Tao’s cover, the surrounding Demon Race glanced over but didn’t seem too surprised. After all, the behaviors of those crossing the channel varied greatly, and many were eager to pass through. It wasn’t considered inappropriate.
Bai Mani felt the Gray Mirror in the air "staring" at her again, while at the sa ti, the talisman increased its output of energy.
Even so, the Gray Mirror did not shift its attention and continued to firmly watch Bai Mani, as if suspecting sothing, confirming sothing.
Bai Mani could not help it anymore and was just about to accelerate when the door of the largest tent in front suddenly opened, and a man with a serious expression stepped out.
The guards at the door of the tent knelt down with a splash.
"Great One!"
Bai Mani glanced over, and her heart almost stopped beating.
She recognized him at a glance—the man was none other than the Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo, the guardian of the Immortal Demon Channel!
Bai Mani no longer dared to speed up. The Little Demon Emperor cos out, and you hurry into the Immortal Demon Channel?
What does that an?
Guilty conscience?
If the Little Demon Emperor didn’t think much of it, it would be fine, but what if he overthought it? If he followed her through the channel to the Immortal Realm, would she, with her abilities, be able to escape?
Bai Mani was incredibly nervous, her forehead covered in sweat, but she dared not show any irregularity. She even imdiately adjusted her state of mind to calm her heartbeat.
In front of a saint, any anomaly would be discovered, and once suspicion arose, everything would be over.
Talisman, you must hold on for a bit longer!
Please, don’t give us away!
Huang Tao was also numb with apprehension—how did they run into the Little Demon Emperor?
However, the Little Demon Emperor was right in front, you couldn’t just pretend not to see him, could you?
Huang Tao had no choice but to step ahead of Bai Mani and kneel on one knee, loudly saying, "Great One!"
Although Bai Mani was incredibly anxious, she had no choice but to follow and kneel on one knee.
All the Golden Sword Sect disciples also knelt down with a splash.
Cheng Tuo, who was evidently pondering sothing, heard the noise and turned his head to glance over.
When Cheng Tuo’s gaze swept over, Bai Mani’s heart nearly stopped beating.
Previously, during the robbery of the Soul Nourishing Vessel, Cheng Tuo had crossed through space to arrive, but was forcibly sent back by the combined efforts of two Quasi-Saints, and Bai Mani was at the scene at that ti!
Although Cheng Tuo hadn’t completely co through at the ti, he had clearly seen everyone there, and most likely he had seen her as well!
Would he recognize her?
Because Huang Tao had moved a step ahead, Bai Mani took the opportunity to kneel behind him, using Huang Tao’s back to conceal her own body, head hung low, not daring to reveal her face with the mask, for fear of triggering Cheng Tuo’s mories.
Fortunately, due to the noble identity of the Little Demon Emperor, most of the Golden Sword Sect disciples were extrely excited to see him in person, a mix of excitent and nervousness, and so Bai Mani’s slightly unusual behavior did not stand out amidst the crowd.
The Little Demon Emperor’s gaze passed over the sect emblem on Huang Tao’s chest and recognized these people as mbers of the Golden Sword Sect. He nodded slowly, "Golden Sword Sect, hmm, carry on the good work!"
Huang Tao responded loudly, "I will spare no effort, even unto death!"
The Little Demon Emperor humd in acknowledgnt, waved his hand signaling everyone to continue, and with one step, had already walked far away.
Huang Tao breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, his back drenched in sweat.
Bai Mani got to her feet and urged through a voice transmission, "Go, quickly, we’re about to be discovered by the Gray Mirror!"
Huang Tao’s heart, which had just relaxed, suddenly tightened again. He turned his head in alarm, saw Bai Mani’s anxious gaze, and finally understood why Bai Mani had been running so fast.
If they were discovered, with the Little Demon Emperor just behind them, wouldn’t that be certain death?
The shadow of death instantly enveloped Huang Tao, his heart hanging in suspense.
Seeing the sect disciples still sneakily glancing back at the Little Demon Emperor, Huang Tao could no longer care about anything else and shouted, "Everyone, continue, march at a run!"
After the shout, Huang Tao didn’t bother to check if the disciples behind were following his lead, but he couldn’t dare to fly, as the Demon Emperor was still at a distance, his figure not yet completely vanished.
Bai Mani, racing beside Huang Tao, quickly ran towards the passage entrance.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Mani arrived at the entrance of the passage.
Bai Mani relaxed, rushing towards the passage, but just then, the talisman plastered on the Linglong Tower seed to have exhausted its energy, and the energy enveloping the Linglong Tower rapidly decayed.
The Linglong Tower began to erge from the thin film-like barrier of energy.
The Gray Mirror hanging in midair suddenly locked onto Linglong Tower, instantly detecting the presence of life within.
The radiance on the Gray Mirror flashed, and just as it was about to explode and envelop Bai Mani, she stepped into the whirlpool of the passage and disappeared in an instant.
The radiance on the Gray Mirror had only begun to shine, and the Linglong Tower it had locked onto had already disappeared, and since the target was lost, the sudden shine of light vanished instantly. Because the light had appeared so swiftly and hadn’t fully unfolded, and disappeared so quickly as well, it was as if it had never shone at all.
The Little Demon Emperor Cheng Tuo, who had walked far away, suddenly felt sothing, stopped in his tracks, and looked up at the Gray Mirror in the sky.
The Gray Mirror hung silently, motionless.
Cheng Tuo frowned. Was it his imagination?
Why had he felt like the Gray Mirror moved just now?
Cheng Tuo looked at the Gray Mirror for two seconds, saw it remained quiet, and then withdrew his gaze, after all, the Gray Mirror had never missed!
If there was really an issue, the Gray Mirror would surely have had a drastic reaction, not the silence it displayed now.
Perhaps he had let his mind wander a bit because he was preoccupied with thoughts, hence the error in perception?
Cheng Tuo took his gaze back, spotted the Golden Sword Sect disciples in the distance, lining up to enter the passage, and then averted his gaze, continuing forward.
The Gray Mirror lood high, as if nothing had ever happened.
