Uchiha Shin looked at Xuanzang. The method Xuanzang had proposed was indeed a good one, but it would be very difficult to carry out.
"I'll go to Dragon Mountain and investigate further. You wait nearby for me."
Uchiha Shin returned to Dragon Mountain. He wanted to gather more information.
Upon arriving at Dragon Mountain, he transformed into a demon and quietly infiltrated the place.
After infiltrating their ranks, Uchiha Shin discovered that there were not only demons here, but also members of the Dao Sect. Of course, these Dao Sect members were fraudulent priests, not genuine ones.
No wonder so many boys and girls had vanished without a trace. These fake priests had been helping from within. Without their assistance, it would not have been possible to act so silently.
Before long, Uchiha Shin learned why this group of demons had gathered so many boys and girls.
They intended to use the children, extract their souls, and then use those souls to destroy the Emperor Zhenwu's sealing barrier. That would make things much easier.
Uchiha Shin frowned upon learning this. The method could indeed work, but it was far too cruel.
They currently had six thousand boys and girls, but that was not enough. They still needed four thousand more to make a total of ten thousand.
The leader of this group of demons was a wolf demon—a red wolf, an exceedingly rare kind within the Three Realms.
"We've obtained several thousand boys and girls, but it's still not enough. Can we continue looking?" the wolf demon asked his subordinates.
"Great King, we can keep searching, but we won't find many more. At most, I can bring back a few dozen. And if we do that, we may expose our location. The losses would outweigh the gains."
