The dead of night was pitch-black, oppressive, and still.

Yet Mo Hua could see the scarlet aura coursing through the darkness. Faintly, he could also hear the low growls and shrill cries of monster beasts.

Then the White Bone ground began to tremble.

Blood-colored Array Patterns linked together, and an eerie Divine Thought aura drifted over from afar.

A long passageway paved with White Bone emerged from the ground.

Like a giant python, it crossed the blood-red stream and the White Bone riverbank, stretching toward the gates of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons in the distance.

Mo Hua's heart jolted, and he understood at once.

Though he could not make out the specific Array Patterns, the flow of the array's Divine Thought power gave him an extremely clear feeling.

He had seen this array before!

It was the Divine Dao Array used to "open the door," drawn upon the Bone Bricks before the dried-up well in the blood-colored Small Fishing Village.

And even more sinister.

On the full moon of the sixteenth, Blood Creek boiled and the White Bone passage appeared.

Demon Cultivators stood before the path with lowered heads and clasped hands, incomparably respectful.

After an unknown length of time, an aged, beastlike rasping voice rang out:

"Set forth."

One Demon Cultivator after another began walking onto the White Bone passage like dispirited Walking Corpses, their steps slow and sluggish.

The Demon Cultivators at the front carried especially heavy demonic auras. Clearly, their status was higher.

They walked empty-handed.

The Demon Cultivators behind them either carried monster beast corpses on their backs or shouldered enormous Storage Bags.

Some were even pulling carts.
