Everyone Behave, We'll Watch and See What Happens!
Apart from the eight major clans, the smaller clans of the Demon Race are not qualified to know about the God-Summoning Token.
At the invitation of Yuan Zheng, Chu Xinghe, Ming Han, She Meng, and She Kui once again came to the outside of Ghost Valley.
Looking at this forbidden land of the Demon Race, Ming Han still felt lingering fear even today. Even with his current greater power, if you asked Ming Han to venture into the Ghost Valley alone again, Ming Han would absolutely never agree.
Throughout the entire Demon Star Continent, only Holy One can freely enter and exit Ghost Valley.
In the last bloody battle in Ghost Valley, countless Ancient Specter were awakened. Not only did the Wolf Clan suffer heavy losses, but some of the creatures that had been hiding in Ghost Valley were also wiped out by the ghosts.
Now, returning to the Ghost Valley, I find that there are no demons here, not even a single hair.
"We beseech the Prophet Xinghe to guide us..."
Yuan Zheng spoke, Chu Xinghe didn't say much. He activated the power of Evil Repeller and hid it around his body. Chu Xinghe then led everyone into the Ghost Valley.
Even though he had witnessed the Prophet Xinghe strolling leisurely through Ghost Valley before, Yuan Zheng was still somewhat nervous following the Prophet Xinghe into Ghost Valley now.
After all, this is Ghost Valley; any accident could leave you here forever.
Yuan Zheng was nervous or not was unknown... but at this moment, Ming Han, She Meng, and She Kui kept glancing towards the Holy One.
Although Ming Han didn't speak, Chu Xinghe could roughly tell from Ming Han's eyes that Ming Han wanted him to leave Yuan Zheng here.
After all, this is Ghost Valley. Everyone is venturing deep into Ghost Valley. Regardless of whether they ultimately succeed in awakening the Demon God Avatar or not, wouldn't it be reasonable for Yuan Zheng to die in such a dangerous place as Ghost Valley?
What? You're saying that as a supreme being, if he insists on escaping, the ghosts of Ghost Valley might not be able to stop him?
That's right... Ghost might not be able to keep him, but if you add Ming Han, She Kui, She Meng, and the Bear King in She Kui's hands, then theoretically, Yuan Zheng has absolutely no chance of surviving.
So now, as they venture deeper and are almost at the Nether Lake region, Ming Han's meaning is clear... Holy One...
Now we can almost get started...
Let's take down the Yuan Zheng first, then we'll hide the God-Summoning Token... Do we still want to awaken the Demon God Avatar?
That's absolutely impossible!
Ming Han waited and waited... They could already see the Nether Lake... What was going on with the Holy One showing no intention of making a move?
Ming Han didn't dare ask... What if the Holy One had a foolproof plan, and he ruined Holy One by asking?
Ming Han was Yuan Zheng or not, he didn't know, but from the moment they entered Ghost Valley, although Yuan Zheng seemed relaxed, he was actually extremely nervous inside.
After all, this is Ghost Valley. What if Ming Han attacks me?
However, Yuan Zheng was prepared. After all, he had brought She Meng Yuan Zheng She Kui with him. If Ming Han really had any bad intentions, She Meng and She Kui Yuan Zheng join forces with him. Would Ming Han still have a chance to survive?
She Meng and She Kui were also puzzled at this moment...
That so-called Holy One... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If you give the order now, we'll join forces with Ming Han, and Yuan Zheng will surely die!
But the Holy One remained silent.
Holy One, don't you understand that this is the best opportunity to kill Yuan Zheng?
Chu Xinghe certainly understood that this was the best opportunity to kill Yuan Zheng, but Chu Xinghe said that they simply didn't understand the Misfortune Compass!
Given the nature of the Misfortune Compass, if they really attack Yuan Zheng now, we don't know if Yuan Zheng will live or die, and who knows what we might encounter!
Therefore, Chu Xinghe never intended to harm Yuan Zheng. I was purely helping Yuan Zheng. As long as I remained steadfast in my determination to help Yuan Zheng, he would definitely not be able to leave this Ghost Valley.
With everyone preoccupied with their own thoughts, the group arrived at the edge of the Nether Lake. Traces of the previous battle could still be faintly seen there. However, their destination was not the eastern side of the Nether Lake, but its center.
As Yuan Zheng held the God-Summoning Token, a mysterious light shot out from it. The next second, the light shone on the Nether Lake, and the originally misty Nether Lake suddenly seemed to be controlled by some magical power. On the misty lake surface, the water split open, and a path leading to the bottom of the Nether Lake appeared before everyone's eyes.
Holding the God-Summoning Token, Yuan Zheng led the way downwards. This time, Chu Xinghe was no longer needed to guide them, as they had reached the bottom of the Nether Lake and no more ghosts would appear.
Following the path leading down to the bottom of the Nether Lake, a stone gate soon appeared before them.
Countless mysterious marks on the stone gate shimmered with a faint light, these marks acting as a seal on the stone gate, blocking all those who might enter.
Holding the God-Summoning Token, Yuan Zheng Yuan Zheng arrived at the stone gate and found a groove in the center of the gate that was the same size as the God-Summoning Token.
The moment Yuan Zheng inserted the God-Summoning Token into the groove, all the surrounding marks seemed to be activated in an instant.
Thousands upon thousands of marks flashed with light... as if trying to distinguish the authenticity of the God-Summoning Token.
Countless rays of light began to appear within the God-Summoning Token, reflecting and complementing the surrounding markings.
When these lights touched each other, most of the marks began to disappear, but not all the marks disappeared; quite a few remained.
These remaining marks are also the reason why Yuan Zheng chose to bring She Meng and She Kui with him.
The Demon God built this secret place beneath the Nether Lake to seal his avatar, leaving it as the Ape Clan's last resort.
If the Ape Clan ever encounters disaster, they can awaken the Demon God Avatar and command the Demon Race once more.
Therefore, most of the marks can be unlocked by relying on the God-Summoning Token. However, the Demon God was also worried that the God-Summoning Token might fall into the hands of other Demon Races, so he still used many other marks in addition to the God-Summoning Token.
The method to break these marks has been passed down from generation to generation by the Ape Clan leaders. However, Yuan Zheng himself is not good at using marks, so now it is necessary for She Meng and She Kui to take action.
At this moment, Yuan Zheng didn't say much. Under Yuan Zheng's guidance, She Meng and She Kui also began to decipher the marks floating around the entrance.
She Meng and She Kui truly lived up to their reputation as the most knowledgeable about marks among the Demon Race. With their combined efforts, along with Yuan Zheng's method of breaking the seals, one mark after another was gradually being broken.
While unsealing the marks She Meng and She Kui also kept an eye on the Holy One.
Holy One... we're already at the door... we're about to activate all the seals... shouldn't we join forces and take down the Yuan Zheng?
From our current position, even if we can't kill Yuan Zheng outright by joining forces, Yuan Zheng won't have a chance to escape!
The area outside is full of ghosts; it's safest to act now!
But She Meng and She Kui waited and waited... until the last mark was broken, Holy One still made no move...
Both She Meng and She Kui were dumbfounded... What on earth was the Holy One's move?
But She Meng didn't dare to ask... Since the Holy One didn't say anything, let's just honestly break the mark.
As the last mark disappeared, the entire stone gate suddenly shone with dazzling light, and countless divine lights converged on the stone gate. At the very moment the divine lights converged, a terrifying aura that seemed to carry the pressure of heaven and earth suddenly emerged from the God-Summoning Token embedded in the stone gate.
Above the God-Summoning Token, a gigantic divine ape floated in mid-air, its terrifying killing intent emanating from its body.
"The 156th Ape King of the Ape Clan Yuan Zheng, today invites the Demon God to return to the clan!"
Yuan Zheng knelt down on both knees and worshipped the divine ape with utmost piety, and the illusory image of the divine ape immediately turned its gaze to Yuan Zheng.
His eyes shone with dazzling golden light, and after scanning Yuan Zheng up and down for a moment, the murderous aura that had enveloped everyone finally disappeared.
As the murderous aura dissipated, the stone gate shattered with a crash, and a dark road finally appeared before everyone.
The Yuan Zheng got up from the ground and picked up the God-Summoning Token again, but by then the divine ape had already returned to the God-Summoning Token.
Seeing this, everyone present, including Ming Han, She Meng, and She Kui, broke out in a cold sweat!
Just now, the divine ape that appeared was a wisp of Divine Sense left behind by the Demon God... Although it was only a wisp of Divine Sense, it was the complete power of the Demon God.
This Yuan Zheng guy didn't tell anyone at all that the God-Summoning Token actually contained the Divine Sense of Demon God...
Ming Han looked at the Holy One with lingering fear...
At this moment, Ming Han finally understood why the Holy One hadn't ordered everyone to take action...
If they had actually made a move just now, no one would have waited for the God-Summoning Token activate the Demon God's Divine Sense, and naturally they wouldn't have known what was hidden within the God-Summoning Token.
If we had acted then, Yuan Zheng had only needed to awaken the Demon God's Divine Sense within the God-Summoning Token, then everyone would have been doomed!
So it has to be the Holy One... The Holy One probably already knew what kind of terrifying existence was hidden in the God-Summoning Token, which is why the Holy One remained silent the whole time. He knew that if they really made a move, it wouldn't be Yuan Zheng who would die, but them!
She Meng and She Kui were now looking at the Holy One with expressions of adoration...
We were too simplistic... we underestimated the situation...
If we had done it earlier, the body would probably be cold by now.
It has to be Holy One... He remained calm throughout, it seems that the Holy One's Star Divination Art has reached the level where even ancient Demon Gods can be predicted!
Chu Xinghe didn't know anything about Star Divination Art... Chu Xinghe had never used Star Divination Art either, but even if I didn't know about Star Divination Art, didn't I know about the Misfortune Compass?
How many years have I, Chu Xinghe, been battling the Misfortune Compass?
From the Blazing Sun Continent to the Demon Star Continent... Back in the Blazing Sun Continent, the worst that could happen when I lost was being backstabbed. Anyway, I got used to being backstabbed so many times.
But this is Demon Star Continent, and we're facing an existence like the Yuan Zheng... If we make one wrong step, won't it be a betrayal?
That's utter ruin!
So everyone just stay put this round... we'll just Watch Quietly as Things Change!
We don't need to worry about anything; the Yuan Zheng will just kill itself indiscriminately...
