Li Yun's judgment had been right.
Less than three minutes after he killed and drained the Demon People squad, another squad that had already gone some distance away heard the commotion and arrived.
Fortunately, Li Yun had prepared for this and hidden himself in advance.
Now he was there.
He stood close against a tree, concealed in its shadow. A strange demonic aura seeped faintly from his body. Formless, colorless, and silent, it spread outward, letting him blend into the surrounding gloom.
"Demon Soul!"
That was the eerie talent Li Yun had gained after pushing the Primordial Demon Body Tempering Art through Limit Breaking.
By activating it, he could briefly transform his intangible soul into a Demon Soul and merge with the Beast-Grazing Land around him.
Unless someone came within arm's reach and saw him with their own eyes,
even the keenest senses would struggle to detect him.
"Damn it..."
"They're all dead..."
"That damned Blue Star Human Race ambushed them..."
Looking at the dried corpses strewn across the ground, Qu Huo, the leader of the other Demon People squad, twisted his face into a snarl.
"Split up and search!!"
"That damned Blue Star Human Race couldn't have gotten far. He's still nearby. Find him! I'll tear him apart..."
Furious, Qu Huo ordered his subordinates to search for Li Yun.
At his words, they immediately began to scatter.
"Hm..."
Hidden barely a dozen meters away, Li Yun caught sight of something wrong.
The numbers did not add up.
He clearly remembered that the other squad had twelve Demon People too, including the Demon People Leader.
Yet now, aside from the Demon People Leader, Qu Huo, only five subordinates remained.
That meant six had not come along.
Did he hide them on purpose?
Li Yun did not dare let his guard
