A small stockaded city, roughly twenty li across, was engulfed in raging flames, the crackling never ceasing.
But more pervasive was the stench of scorching.
It was the smell of all kinds of meat charred and roasted black, enough to make one retch.
Every so often, the ground churned and one or two half-crippled Spider Demons or Snake Demons emerged, showing that this small tribe still had a few survivors and had not been completely exterminated.
But escaping the previous calamity was hardly their good fortune.
A great hand reached down from the sky. With a flash of light, the surviving Spider Demons and Snake Demons let out piercing screams, their entire bodies trembling like chaff in a sieve.
Soul search!
Their souls had been searched.
A hundred breaths later, the trembling ceased. The surviving Spider Demons and Snake Demons had completely lost their breath. Prophet Demon Master Ba Yan released his hand, and the two corpses fell from the sky, crashing into the sea of flames below and bursting into fiercer fire.
"Again!"
Prophet Demon Master Ba Yan's long brows stood on end, his face filled with killing intent. As he clenched his fists, the air around him exploded with sharp booms.
The sixth one.
This was already the sixth destroyed Devil Race tribal settlement he had found in ten days of tracking Ye Zhen.
The four Creation Realm Divine Generals at his side were trembling with fear. Without waiting for Ba Yan's orders, each took the initiative to deploy all manner of Secret Arts and divine abilities, searching for possible directions.
Ten days ago, when Prophet Demon Master Ba Yan received that azure scale, he had completely abandoned his previous strategy of attacking Changling Commandery City to force Ye Zhen to appear, turning instead to tracking Ye Zhen.
