Wang Daoyuan still knew nothing of the Devil Race's plans.
But this underground maze had already been nearly burned away. The Devil Race was not the sort to sit still and wait for death.
The human side was not wholly unprepared either. Heavenly Secret Sect cultivators had set up numerous formations around Heavenly Demon Valley, waiting for the Devil Race to come out and fight for their lives.
A month later, almost no Demonic Qi was rising from Heavenly Demon Valley.
The Dust Returning Flame burned the rocks below without restraint. Heavenly Demon Valley could now be renamed "Heavenly Demon Pit."
Suddenly, five streaks of light flew up from the bottom of Heavenly Demon Pit.
The flames that had originally filled the entire Heavenly Demon Pit rapidly contracted.
This was the result of Nascent Soul Cultivators using Law Power to suppress the spirit flame. This had happened before while burning Demonic Qi.

True Man Lei Yan controlled the Violet Gold Exquisite Pagoda, blocking the five Devils' path. He also drew his violet-gold whip and struck at the Thunder Demon.
If they did not hold back True Man Lei Yan, he could severely wound a Nascent Soul
