"Senior sisters, please look. Lu Ji, the Flood Dragon King, and their group number more than thirty thousand.
However, far more people entered the Cave Abode initially-nearly forty thousand!
Clearly, some cunning fellows must still be hiding deep within the Cave Abode and have yet to show themselves.
Perhaps they have other designs, or perhaps chance allowed them to escape our notice.
Although I can mobilize large numbers of monsters and demons to surround and hunt them down, these creatures are generally rather weak. I fear they won't be able to catch them all in one net.
So, when the time comes, I'll need you senior sisters to enter the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda yourselves and help hunt them down. I'll also do everything I can to drive the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda and support you!"
With that, Su Yan formed hand seals with both hands, chanting as he cast a profound spell.
An enormous projection suddenly appeared in the empty air before him, like a massive screen.
The projection showed every move Lu Ji, the Flood Dragon King, and the others made inside the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda in real time.
Everyone looked closely. Inside the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, Lu Ji, the Flood Dragon King, and the others had temporarily set aside their hostility toward one another. Their expressions were grim, as though facing a formidable enemy.
They kept unleashing various spells into the surrounding darkness, seemingly probing for something.
Aside from the small areas illuminated by the light of their own spells, everything around them was pitch-black. They could not even see their fingers held before their faces.
Scattered across the ground in that darkness were all manner of corpses. Some had been reduced to white bones, while others still bore traces of flesh and blood. The sight made their hair stand on end.
