Returning through the underground passage, Lu Yang had left a clone near the entrance beforehand. There was also one of his clones inside a cabinet in the king's bedchamber, but he did not dare use it. If a group of Origin Demons happened to be hiding around that clone, he would teleport right into their encirclement. That would be a huge loss.
He continued forward along the passage. He remembered there was a spot along the way that was not far from the Chaos Beast convoy. As long as he found a nearby exit from the secret passage, he could get close.

There were three Saint-tier Origin Demons
