The message Lei Qing received was nothing more than the System deceiving him.
When he contacted his clan, their communication channel had already been intercepted by the System.
Because of the special nature of the Demon Immortal Pagoda Forbidden Grounds, their transmissions were not particularly smooth, giving the System an opportunity to exploit.
After analyzing the situation, the System deceived Lei Qing—and succeeded at once.
"Fine, fine, fine. If it's gone, it's gone. I'm already used to going all in anyway." The moment Qin Luo heard they were about to infiltrate the Demon Immortal Pagoda Forbidden Grounds, he stopped saying anything further.
Just do it. If the Villain Points were gone, he could earn more!
Lei Qing had wasted a great deal of breath, handed over quite a few resources, and owed favors to demons before he could finally secure leave.
Holding his token, Lei Qing smoothly walked out of the forbidden grounds.
"How long has it been since I last came out? Ten million years?" Lei Qing looked at the outside world and spoke with emotion.
There was no sense of time within the forbidden grounds, nor was there any fighting. For the Demon Race, life in the forbidden grounds was simply far too bland.
The Demon Race was warlike by nature. A small battle every three years and a major battle every five years were perfectly normal.
"We must hurry back to the clan!" Thunder rumbled as Lei Qing shot into the distance like a bolt of lightning.
The moment he had barely left the forbidden grounds' sphere of influence, he contacted his clan. "Who is guarding the Thunder Immortal Stone?"
An elder of the Thunderstorm Sword Tiger Clan was stunned upon receiving Lei Qing's message.
"Elder Lei Qing, what Thunder Immortal Stone?" he asked doubtfully.
Lei Qing
