After quite a while, Demon Eleven finally spoke slowly. "Now that your physical body has been destroyed, Thirteen, don't go rejoin Prince Shaomiao's group."

"When the time comes, just cooperate with the previously devised plan to lure the snake from its hole and draw that giant skeleton away. Leave the rest to Demon Twelve and me."

"Alright, Captain."

Demon Thirteen nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Demon Eleven fell silent for a moment before suddenly asking, "Thirteen, are you confident? I mean, after drawing that giant skeleton away, can you retreat unscathed and escape with your life?"

Demon Thirteen was stunned for a moment upon hearing Demon Eleven's words. Only then did he hesitate and say, "That giant skeleton's strength and methods are unknown."

"I can only guarantee that I can lure it away. As for whether I can preserve my life in its hands, I'm not certain. It can only depend on luck."

Hearing this.

Demon Eleven nodded.

"Alright. If you are fortunate enough to survive, stay here and welcome us back."

"At the same time, be careful not to let outsiders enter the Nine Nether Cavern again."

After giving his instructions.

Demon Eleven and Demon Twelve parted ways with Demon Thirteen...

Meanwhile.

Su Fang, who had witnessed everything through the [Sky Patrol Monitoring Formation], was shocked by Mad Old Man's strength.

At the same time, he suddenly became curious about what exactly the "mission" Demon Eleven had mentioned was.

To allow the Heavenly Demon Clan to return to this world?

But what did that have to do with the Tomb of Gods and Devils?

And why had these three Heavenly Demons insisted on joining forces with Prince Shaomiao and the others?

What were they truly plotting?

Su Fang felt that he had learned some secrets, yet had not fully understood them. Everything remained shrouded in mist and riddles.

"Forget it. I won't think about it anymore."

"I'll just follow these Heavenly Demons for now. Sooner or later, I'll learn their secrets."

Su Fang thought to himself.

Then he remembered Mad Old Man and hurriedly began searching with the [Sky Patrol Monitoring Formation].

Yet after searching around, he still failed to find any trace of him.

At the very end of that battle, Mad Old Man's ultimate move had been too terrifying and too shocking.

For a moment, Su Fang had been stunned and had failed to capture the scene of Mad Old Man's escape in time.

Thus, he had directly lost his trail.

"Damn, I actually lost him."

Su Fang said with some frustration.

He was also immensely curious about Mad Old Man. He always felt that this man's schemes were no smaller than those of the three Heavenly Demons.

After all, he had feigned madness and played the fool in the Gods and Devils Cemetery for so long, while fully knowing the secrets of the [Nine Nether Map] and the Tomb of Gods and Devils.

If someone said he had no grand scheme, Su Fang simply would not believe it.

But now that he had lost Mad Old Man's trail, Su Fang had no way to continue monitoring and investigating him.

Still, he believed that Mad Old Man would not die so easily. He would definitely appear again and find a way to reach the Nine Nether Cavern.

After this matter came to a temporary end.

Demon Eleven and Demon Twelve reunited with Prince Shaomiao's group.

The moment they met, Prince Shaomiao anxiously asked, "What happened to that Mad Old Man? Is he alive or dead?"

Demon Eleven put on a guilty expression and said, "We severely wounded him, but failed to keep him. We have let Your Highness down."

Hearing that Demon Eleven and the others had actually failed to take down Mad Old Man.

Prince Shaomiao and the others were all greatly astonished.

Chi Yuntian sighed. "Is that Mad Old Man really so powerful?"

"Could he be a Martial Emperor?"

Hearing this, everyone turned to Demon Eleven again.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to explain, "He is not a Martial Emperor. That Mad Old Man merely possesses some forbidden power. We let our guard down for a moment and allowed him to slip away."

"But Prince Shaomiao, rest assured. We have already severely wounded him. That Mad Old Man will have no chance to come out and hinder us again."

After hearing Demon Eleven's explanation.

Prince Shaomiao finally relaxed somewhat.

Then he continued, "Although that Mad Old Man has been driven away, we still cannot let down our guard. To avoid unforeseen complications,

we should quickly begin the plan to lure the snake from its hole." Then he added, "By the way, where is your remaining companion?"

Only then did Prince Shaomiao notice that one person was missing from the trio in black robes, and he immediately asked.

Demon Eleven explained once more.

"Prince Shaomiao, there is no need to worry. My third brother has already entered the Bone Pagoda Forest ahead of time to prepare for luring the creature."

"We only need to make our preparations and circle around to the other direction. Then, once we seize the right opportunity, we can enter the Nine Nether Cavern."

Though Prince Shaomiao still had doubts, he wisely refrained from asking further.

After finalizing the plan, Prince Shaomiao and the others cautiously began circling toward the other side of the Bone Pagoda Forest...

At the same time.

After learning Prince Shaomiao's group's specific plan through the [Sky Patrol Monitoring Formation], Su Fang quietly followed after them.

However, he did not dare follow too closely, fearing that he would meet the same fate as Mad Old Man.

After tracking them for quite some time.

When Su Fang entered the Bone Pagoda Forest once more, he could still sense the soul-stirring residual might left behind by that "Ghost Sovereign" skeleton.

Seeing this, he fully activated the [Divine Concealment Formation], hiding himself as thoroughly as possible within the environment of the Yin Qi Tide.

Very soon.

Prince Shaomiao's group arrived at their planned waiting point, then stopped and waited quietly.

Su Fang also quietly found another place near the Nine Nether Cavern and began waiting patiently.

Time passed bit by bit.

Suddenly.

"Rumble..."

The ground in the distance began to shake violently...

Then they saw it once more—that giant skeleton standing ten thousand zhang tall!

"Roar! Awoo..."

With an ancient, furious growl.

This time, the Ghost Emperor Skeleton, awakened once again after being disturbed, immediately began retaliating without mercy.

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

"..."

The earth shook continuously without pause...

It was as though heaven and earth were collapsing and the world was being destroyed.

Upon witnessing such a terrifying scene.

Su Fang instead began worrying about the Heavenly Demon called Demon Thirteen.

He feared that the Heavenly Demon would be killed by the giant skeleton the moment he appeared, never getting the chance to lure it away.

On the other side, Prince Shaomiao and the others shared Su Fang's concern.

They feared that the person luring the creature would die immediately, causing the plan to fail outright.

Thus, everyone watched every movement in the distance with tense expressions.

Meanwhile.

Demon Thirteen, the one responsible for luring the creature, saw that he had successfully awakened the giant skeleton.

He immediately began fleeing for his life without looking back...

This time, the giant skeleton did not stand dazed in place as it had before. It immediately strode after him.

Every step made the ground shudder violently!

Fortunately, Demon Thirteen's speed in fleeing was truly extraordinary. Especially after losing his physical body and completely turning into mist, his flying speed was like crossing a thousand miles in an instant.

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

"Rumble!"

"..."

The giant skeleton kept striding after him in pursuit.

Gradually, it moved farther and farther away from the direction of the Nine Nether Cavern...
