Five days had passed since Mu Zi and Qin Tian entered the Demon Domain.
During that time, they searched everywhere for prey, striking like thunder and reducing them to ash.
Under their fierce surprise attacks, in just five days, the two of them had reaped quite a harvest. The Extraterritorial Evil Clan members they wiped out were countless, and among them, there were nearly ten Demon Emperor-level existences.
The remnant souls of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan became Demon Subduing Points, and Mu Zi's originally emptied fortune filled up once again.
That was not the only gain. When she encountered certain special races, Mu Zi would seal away their corpses and take them, keeping them for future research.
A fairy-like beauty, yet she had a "hobby" of collecting evil clan corpses. It did seem somewhat out of place and strange.
However, in Qin Tian's eyes, such behavior was perfectly normal. For something as evil as the Extraterritorial Evil Clan to catch Mu Zi's eye was their honor.
Squeezing every last bit of value from them could also be considered recycling waste.
During these few days of hunting, Mu Zi showed no mercy when attacking the Extraterritorial Evil Clan. The decisiveness and killing resolve she displayed made Qin Tian's gaze toward her carry more and more appreciation.
Originally, deep in Qin Tian's heart, he had instinctively resisted teaming up with others. This stemmed from the tragedy years ago when his relatives and friends had all died miserably at the hands of the evil clan, leaving a shadow in his heart.
And as Qin Tian's strength grew increasingly formidable, gradually showing a tendency to leave everyone else far behind in the Sacred Abyss, there was no one with strength that could match his. Even if someone reluctantly traveled with him, they would most likely encounter dangers they could not endure.
Added to Qin Tian's cold personality, which made him harder and harder to approach, the two hundred years Qin Tian had spent in the Sacred Abyss had always been alone.
If he was not in seclusion cultivating, he was madly fighting the Extraterritorial Evil Clan. Apart from Old Lu of the Great Thousand Pavilion, the number of times he spoke to others was few and far between.
Yet Mu Zi's strength was completely trustworthy, and at the same time, the sharp methods she displayed against the Extraterritorial Evil Clan also made Qin Tian approve of her.
A few ripples rose in Qin Tian's heart. If he had such a companion, perhaps that would not be a bad thing.
After five days of hunting, the two of them had gained a great deal. However, Mu Zi was somewhat dissatisfied, simply because the demon races they had encountered could not be called opponents.
Of the Demon Emperors they had killed during this time, the vast majority were Secluded Demon Emperors. They had only encountered two Profound Demon Emperors, and both were mediocre in strength. The strongest Profound Demon Emperor was only comparable to an Immortal Grade Middle Stage expert. That level of strength could not bring Mu Zi the slightest pressure at all. It only took a little extra effort before she easily dealt with him.
When Mu Zi asked Qin Tian why the Extraterritorial Evil Clan members they encountered were so weak, the corners of Qin Tian's eyes could not help twitching a few times. He did not know what to say.
In just a few days, they had run into ten Extraterritorial Demon Emperors, and among them were even two Immortal Grade ones. This was... weak?
Looking at the White Clothes Beauty beside him, Qin Tian could not help feeling emotional. The Extraterritorial Evil Clan that others feared like tigers had, in this woman's eyes, become pigs and sheep with price tags on their heads. She truly was a heroine among women.
Despite the many thoughts in his heart, Qin Tian still answered Mu Zi's question. The Sacred Abyss was the border between the Great Thousand and the extraterrestrial regions. Through the spatial nodes controlled by the Great Thousand World, the area they entered after teleportation was the outer region of the Demon Domain.
According to the intelligence held by the Great Thousand World, the high-level forces of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan were mainly distributed in the core regions of the Demon Domain. The thirty-two major clans basically all lived in areas close to the center of the Demon Domain.
In the outer region where the two of them were now, the experts of the Extraterritorial Evil Clan were not too terrifying. Heavenly Demon Emperor-level existences almost never appeared nearby.
Even top experts among Profound Demon Emperors were rarely seen. Therefore, the Extraterritorial Evil Clan members the two of them encountered were not especially outrageous.
But nothing was absolute. Sometimes, unexpected situations would always occur.
Two days later, the two of them gradually went deeper into the Demon Domain and charged into an area filled with dense demonic qi.
"This is the place."
Mu Zi stopped and looked down at the land from high in the sky. One aura after another, none of them weak, entered her senses.
"This area seems to be the territory of the Slaughter Demon Clan." Qin Tian's gaze was grave. The Slaughter Demon Clan was a middle-ranking clan among the Extraterritorial Evil Clan, and its strength could not be underestimated.
Although the Slaughter Demon Clan's foundation was not as deep as the Flame Demon Clan's, there was more than one Profound Demon Emperor within the clan. Moreover, the Slaughter Demon Clan's combat strength, at the same realm, was slightly stronger than the Flame Demon Clan's, and was not far off from the Demon Emperors of true major clans.
If the experts of the Slaughter Demon Clan swarmed them all at once, they would probably be enough to pose a threat to the two of them. If Qin Tian were alone, with his strength suppressed, going this deep behind enemy lines would likely leave him unable to advance an inch and hard-pressed to continue.
However, with Mu Zi, this reliable companion, Qin Tian dared to come and try his luck!
"After we make our move this time, we'll go back."
Mu Zi also understood the principle that too much was as bad as too little. For their first operation, it was not suitable to stir up too much trouble in the Demon Domain. The main goal was to get a taste, figure out the way things worked, and accumulate experience for the future.
After finishing this job on the Slaughter Demon Clan, she would stop and return to the Great Thousand World.
However, perhaps Mu Zi's words touched some kind of Mystic Force, or perhaps she was simply unlucky, but she actually encountered an unforeseen change.
"Mm? The aura of experts..."
In the next instant, Mu Zi's expression shifted slightly. In the distant distance, two powerful auras appeared within her sensory range without the slightest concealment. Those auras were so strong that they far surpassed any Extraterritorial Evil Clan member she had seen before. Even compared to the current Qin Tian, they were a notch stronger.
"Top Profound Demon Emperors. Why would they appear here?"
Qin Tian's brows could not help furrowing. According to previous intelligence, the Slaughter Demon Clan did not have experts of this level. Moreover, those two auras were clearly not the same as the many Slaughter Demon Clan members below.
"They've discovered me!"
Qin Tian said in a low voice.
At this moment, in his perception, the masters of those two auras suddenly paused, then approached straight toward the direction where the two of them were at an extremely fast speed.
The fluctuations of the Great Thousand World emanating from Qin Tian were utterly out of place with the Demon Domain's environment. Against those of lower strength, he could barely hide them. However, in the perception of true Extraterritorial Evil Clan experts, they were as obvious as candlelight in the dark night.
"This aura... worms from the Great Thousand. Since when did you dare appear openly in the Demon Domain?"
A terrifying pressure closed in instantly. Two evil figures shrouded in demonic qi stopped in front of Mu Zi and Qin Tian, their cold gazes landing on the two of them.
At the same time, a mocking laugh came through the black mist.
"One Immortal Grade, one Spirit Grade. Heh, I really don't know whether you're arrogant or stupid."
