Lin Bai swept his gaze around the Spirit Lake Demon Race. There were still eight demon martial artists left.
Among them were Crown Prince Ao Qing, Spirit Lake Dragon King's second disciple Dong Qi, third disciple Ning Shuang, and fourth disciple Xie Chen.
The other four demon martial artists had come from the Demon Realm.
Lin Bai saw Xie Chen, but neither his eyes nor face showed the slightest expression or abnormality. He pretended not to see him and acted as though he had no connection with Xie Chen whatsoever.
Xie Chen stood among the others and, like the other demons, sized up Lin Bai and Shen Yunfan. Yet he still showed no sign of having any secret connection with Lin Bai.
The two understood each other without words and showed no reaction.
Then.
Lin Bai shifted his gaze toward the several cave-dwelling demons. "And what are your origins?"
Of these four cave-dwelling demons, one was a beautiful woman in green robes, one was a thin, gaunt old man, one was an old woman with a face covered in wrinkles and pustules, and one was a sharp-looking man in black.
Lin Bai sized them up, but his gaze lingered more often on the five ancient beasts.
The beautiful woman in green fixed her lovely eyes on Lin Bai and said coldly, "Since the two of you have appeared here, does that mean... Eight-Eyes failed to stop you?"
"Where is Eight-Eyes now?"
"Eight-Eyes?" Lin Bai vaguely recalled that Eight-Eyed Demon Toad. "Heh. Naturally, he's dead."
The woman in green's pupils contracted, and terror appeared in her eyes. "Then we truly underestimated the two of you. Who would have thought that after we sent you into the insect chamber and even sent Eight-Eyes to assassinate you, you would still manage to escape?"
