Infiltrating the Devil Domain

The passageway was long and branched off into many other paths. When Sang Ying scanned it with her Divine Sense, she felt as if they had stepped into a vast underground maze.

Fortunately, the Demonic Qi that brushed against them was constantly guiding them in the right direction.

Following the correct direction, the group finally heard some small noises after groping around in the darkness for an unknown amount of time.

Sang Ying stopped abruptly, and along with the other six, they disappeared into the deeper darkness as the sound of footsteps drew closer.

Not far away, a faint blue light slowly drifted over, accompanied by several high-pitched, strange voices. "Oh dear, what bad luck, it's my turn to patrol again today. We used to only have this one day off a month, didn't we? I remember I just had a day off."

Upon closer inspection, Sang Ying and the others saw a snow-white skeleton carrying a lantern walking forward under the dim blue light. As it drew closer, they noticed a black owl following beside the skeleton.

Those complaints all came from the skeleton's mouth, but the owl's resentment was no less. "Don't even mention it. We were able to have it so easy before because there were so many Devil Race in the Devil Domain, and there were even more low-level Devil Race like us who struggled to even pass through the seal. That's why we only had to rotate shifts once a month. But look at us now, there are so many fewer Devil Race in the Devil Domain, and not long ago another batch of high-level Devil Race went into slumber. Naturally, we have even more work to do."

Two flames burned in the empty eye sockets of the skeleton, and the owl was several times larger than usual, its jet-black feathers looking as if they were made of steel.

The strange pair quickly passed by Sang Ying and her companions, but halfway there, the owl suddenly stopped. "Why do I feel like I smell a living person?"

The skeleton instinctively sniffed around, following its words: "No, you must be mistaken. This is the Devil Domain. Let alone how mortals manage to come to the Upper Realm, it's incredibly difficult for a Human Race to even enter our Devil Domain."

"You're right, it must be because the Demonic Qi in the Devil Domain isn't enough. I've been so hungry these past few days that I'm practically delirious. Sigh, if only some strangers could really wander in, then I could finally have a good meal." The owl believed the skeleton's words, and the patrol team quickly left the area.

However, Sang Ying and the others, who were hiding not far away, did not relax at all. Sang Ying, who had almost been discovered, turned her head and winked at Jiang Zhuoxue.

She was, after all, Human Race and had not yet ascended to immortality; her human aura was too obvious to conceal.

If Jiang Zhuoxue hadn't managed to quickly transform her Demonic Qi and spread it throughout her body, Sang Ying would probably have been dragged out by those two Devil Race.

Since Sang Ying didn't make a move, the six of them obediently continued to hide and didn't get up.

Soon, the two Devil Race who had just walked past them suddenly reappeared. The skeleton and the owl searched around and, after confirming that there was really no sign of life, finally gave up.

"Sigh, it seems I really was wrong," the owl said disappointedly.

The skeleton was also quite disappointed. "Never mind, it seems we still don't have that good luck. Let's continue patrolling."

The two Devil Creature finally left this place completely.

Sang Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief. She had been cautious, worried that the two Devil Race might be trying to trick her. She hadn't expected that even the low-level Devil Race in the Devil Domain could be so cunning. Fortunately, their previous conversation had revealed quite a bit of information to Sang Ying and her companions.

Because of the two Devil Race's surprise attack, the seven didn't rush out this time. Instead, they waited a while longer to make sure no other Devil Race would appear before emerging from the darkness.

Jiang Zhuoxue spoke first, "There is only Demonic Qi in the Devil Domain. The sudden appearance of an unfamiliar aura will alert these guys. You know my identity, and I also have the ability to convert the Spiritual Qi in my body into Demonic Qi. You should temporarily seal your acupoints for absorbing Spiritual Qi, and I will use Demonic Qi to cover your entire bodies. That way, even if you run into the Devil Race, they won't notice anything unusual about you."

It must be said that Jiang Zhuoxue's idea was excellent, and no one refused it.

For a moment, Qing Shou was even somewhat relieved that Jiang Zhuoxue was a demonic Devil Dragon; otherwise, they really wouldn't have been able to move freely in the Devil Domain.

With Jiang Zhuoxue's Demonic Qi helping them, their journey became much smoother.

Although they encountered several Devil Race along the way, thanks to the dense Demonic Qi, the demons regarded them as high-level Devil Race. They bowed their heads and saluted from afar, not daring to raise their heads.

This put Sang Ying and the others at ease, and they became even bolder in their search for the heart of the Devil Domain Realm.

Because the Devil Domain Realm was too vast, the seven of them searched for a long time but couldn't find the heartland, let alone the shadow of the Heart Devil Mirror.

After much thought, Sang Ying decided to ask a Devil Race.

The seven of them observed for a long time before finally focusing on a magical bird that resembled a parrot.

They had seen it; this demonic bird was useless in other aspects, but it was very talkative and seemed to be the gossip of the Devil Domain, with a very lively personality.

After Jiang Zhuoxue intensified the Demonic Qi on the seven of them, they approached the demonic bird and began questioning it.

The demon bird belongs to the lower-level Devil Race and is naturally afraid of the higher-level Devil Race.

Sang Ying and the other six did not possess the oppressive aura of the Devil Race, but Jiang Zhuoxue did. He stood at the very front of the group and unleashed his power upon the demon bird, which immediately wilted.

"What do you gentlemen want from me?" The demon bird trembled.

They discussed it and decided that Jiang Zhuoxue should be the one to ask the questions, since he was the only one among them who looked most like a high-level Devil Race.

Jiang Zhuoxue lowered her voice and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that you know the most about the secrets of the Devil Race, so let me test you?"

The demon bird cawed and tilted its head. "So, you gentlemen want to find out the current state of the Devil Race and then seize power? I've done this many times before, I'm very skilled at it! Ask me anything you want to know!"

Sang Ying:?

Jiang Zhuoxue:?!

The seven people blinked, not expecting to stumble upon such a good thing.

Jiang Zhuoxue immediately adjusted her emotions and followed the demonic bird's lead, saying, "Hmph, you're clever enough to see through our intentions. Since you said you're very skilled, just tell me everything you know. If I find out you've said anything wrong or are hiding anything, I'll crush your throat right now!"

The demon bird covered its throat with its wings, seemingly frightened by Jiang Zhuoxue's threats.

It nodded eagerly, promising to speak frankly and without reservation.
