Chapter 536 Blending in
In a pavilion in the south——
“…So he sent the person back?”
"Yes, the Third Prince also sent a message to you from his men, saying that this woman is proficient in invisibility and that only a spatial forbidden formation can trap her. If she escapes, they will be unable to explain to the Demon Lord..."
The playful smile on Ye Xuan's face gradually disappeared. He straightened his back and asked, "Has Pei Yun been locked up?"
"She should have been taken back to the dungeon. I don't think she's trying to escape..."
"Hmph! This woman is very cunning. She deliberately used Ghost King City to intimidate us before. This time, she probably has other motives as well. We can't take it lightly..."
Ye Xuan originally wanted to humiliate Pei Yun and get hold of Ye Chi's handle, but now he has been tricked by him.
But what Ye Chi said made sense. Pei Yun's invisibility technique was very strange, so it was better to be careful. There was a space restriction formation in the dungeon, so even if she became invisible, she would not be able to escape.
"Your Highness, there's news about the Second Prince coming from Dongcangzhou..."
Just as Chief Jing was halfway through his speech, Ye Xuan on the opposite side raised his hand to stop him and quickly "whooshed" to the outer hall.
"Your Highness, what happened?" Chief Jing followed him to the outer hall, but there was no one around and the guards were standing outside the hall obediently, without any unusual movement.
"Just now... it seems like someone came in." Ye Xuan's face darkened slightly. He scanned the place with his spiritual sense, but found nothing unusual. "Maybe I was just being overly suspicious."
After returning to the inner hall, Chief Jing continued, "...His Highness the Second Prince has sent a message urging you to return to Dongcangzhou as soon as possible. The spies lurking in Nanmo have reported that they have discovered a relic that seems to be related to the Tu clan..."
"The Tu clan?!" Ye Xuan was surprised. "The Tu clan has actually been to the Haoyu Continent..."
"Your Highness, look, this is the jade slip sent by the Second Prince. It contains the totem that the spy saw in the ruins..."
Ye Xuan took the jade slip and examined it. After a while, he said, "It really does look like the totem of the Tu clan. Could it be that the Tu clan discovered this continent earlier than my Ye clan?"
"The Tu clan, like my Ye clan, is a major force in the demon world. If they really want to fight for the Haoyu Continent, the situation will become even more complicated..."
Ye Xuan pondered, "I will report this matter to the Demon Lord Ye Ming after he returns. The Demon Lord will be back in half a month at most. Once things here are settled, I will rush back to Dongcangzhou as soon as possible..."
"Then I will take my leave first." Chief Jing stood up and took his leave.
Just as he reached the door, Ye Xuan called him again, still worried, "Go to the dungeon first and see if Pei Yun is imprisoned there?"
"Yes."
……
Pei Yun, who had witnessed everything from hiding in the space, looked solemn and murmured, "...Nanmo...the Tu clan..."
After the leader left, Pei Yun did not go out immediately. Just now, when she opened the space field and sneaked in, the prince still discovered a clue. She did not dare to act rashly.
He waited patiently until the second half of the night, and when it was almost dawn, Ye Xuan finally went out. Pei Yun took the opportunity to leave the space and quietly left the hall.
She was wearing the armor of a demon soldier and walking along the corridor between the palaces. Just when she was halfway there, a familiar person came towards her...
Pei Yun's eyes were startled, and he immediately lowered his head to hide the surprise and solemnity in his eyes. He pretended to be respectful and saluted the person who was approaching: "...Third Prince."
Ye Chi had an indifferent expression and didn't even look at the person in front of him, but the moment they passed by, he was suddenly startled and grabbed her arm with one hand.
Pei Yun's heart tightened instantly. He looked up at the person in front of him and met his meaningful eyes.
Ye Chi showed an indescribable complex look, stared at her in shock for a moment, then let go of her arm and left without saying a word.
Pei Yun frowned slightly as she watched him leave. She was certain the Third Prince of the Demon Clan had recognized her, but she didn't know where she had given herself away. Why would he let her go? She had ruined his plans so many times! Was it because of the Samsara Mirror?
But now is not the time to think about this, Pei Yun headed west...
When the sky was slightly bright, Pei Yun finally saw the whole picture of the magic array. Nine magic stones were connected together as the core of the array, forming a complex magic array. The magic words in the magic array were looming, flashing with bloody light, and below the magic array was an extremely familiar altar!
Pei Yun stared at the altar in a daze. There had been a similar altar before in the Fushan Demon Cave, but she had stopped it just as it was about to be opened. Later, people from the Taoist Temple came to investigate and speculated that it was a time and space passage...
Pei Yun now vaguely understood why there were so many demon soldiers here. This Chaomu Valley was not big. If there were really so many demon soldiers hiding here, the people of Yanling Sect should have discovered them long ago. It was obvious that these demon soldiers came through this space-time channel.
"Show me your travel token, please!"
Pei Yun was awakened by the sudden command. She was hiding among the demons at the moment, walking on the bridge and queuing to go to the other end of the cliff, where the altar was.
She found that the demon soldiers around her were staring at her with different expressions. The leader who asked her to show her the token looked at her unkindly, as if he regarded her as a suspicious person.
Pei Yun calmly took out a black iron token from his pocket and asked calmly, "Is it okay?"
"You are Kui Ye, the captain of the 71st Blood Demon Squad, and your strength is the third level of Earth Demon?"
"Yes."
"How many teammates were there originally in Team 71? How many are left now?" the leader suddenly asked.
Pei Yun paused and said, "Originally, there were ninety-one people including me, but now there are fifty-two left. I am delivering the Demon Realm Stone to the Witch Lady on her orders..."
In order to prevent her from revealing her true identity, she had already searched the soul of the demon Kui Ye and burned his body to ashes.
"go in."
Pei Yun breathed a sigh of relief and successfully arrived at another mountain in the Demon Cave - the Mountain of Demons.
The summit of the Demon Mountain held the altar and the magic formation. However, the area was now surrounded by moving demon soldiers. Pei Yun did not act rashly. Relying on Kui Ye's memories, she walked down the cliff path and soon reached the bottom of the mountain...
There is a cave at the bottom of the mountain. Before entering, the disgusting smell of blood hits you in the face.
Even though Pei Yun had prepared herself mentally, she was still shocked by the scene before her. She froze in place for a moment, suppressing the anger in her heart. The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she walked to her "teammate" with a calm expression.
"Captain, you're back!"
"Captain, did the Witch give you any reward?" Several teammates from Team 71 came over and asked curiously.
"I'm just giving you the Demon Realm Stone. Lady Witch is too busy to see me..." Pei Yun waved his hand in disgust while looking around.
The situation here is similar to the demon cave in the border battlefield back then. It seems that they are refining the demon world stone. Of course, the scale here is much smaller, and those who are tortured beyond recognition and dying are all cultivators from Beiqizhou.
One of the members of Team 71 raised his hand and swung his magic whip, lashing at the man who was tied up in the pool of blood...
A hint of murderous intent flashed across Pei Yun's eyes for a moment. He suddenly grabbed the waving whip and looked at the man who was whipped and covered in blood with a slightly stunned expression!
Zhu Renfeng!
She was an outstanding disciple of the Flame Spirit Sect! They had met during the Foundation Establishment Competition, and Zhu Renfeng had also come to the Yunshan Sect with the elders of the Flame Spirit Sect to celebrate her Nascent Soul Ceremony.
