The Place of Slumber

Half an hour later, the demon bird, whose voice had become hoarse from talking, finally stopped.

It glanced cautiously at Jiang Zhuoxue, but the Demonic Qi on her face was too intense, so it couldn't discern her expression or analyze her emotions.

The demon bird could only obediently ask, "My lords, I have said everything I needed to say. May I leave now?"

In recent years, because Prince Futu has become increasingly disorganized in his actions and has been trapped in the fire for many years, he has been unable to participate in the battles between Gods and Devils Battlefield, nor can he personally teach those Devil Race who betrayed him a lesson.

As a result, more and more high-ranking Devil Race began to have other ideas and no longer obeyed this once incomparably powerful crown prince.

Therefore, rebellions occur in the Devil Domain almost every so often, and these rebellions are basically instigated by high-ranking Devil Race.

The Demon Bird had indeed witnessed many chaotic events, and on several occasions, it had even become involved itself.

Of course, the prince is still the prince. Even though he was trapped, his power was still great. Even when those high-level Devil Race finally broke into the lowest level and faced the prince's Futu, they were still easily defeated by him.

Over time, the demon bird stopped foolishly participating in these fruitless rebellions. However, it was quite interesting to leak some information and liven up the boring Devil Domain.

So the demon bird really did reveal everything it knew, just as it had said.

According to the demon bird, the Devil Domain Realm has five levels.

The so-called heartland of the Devil Race actually refers to the last level, where high-ranking Devil Race gather, as well as the residence of Prince Futu and several princesses.

Low-level Devil Race like the Demon Bird reside on the top layer, where Demonic Qi is thin. If something goes wrong on the Gods and Devils Battlefield or if something happens to the seal, they will be the first to be affected.

However, the birth of low-level Devil Race is very easy; every year some strange and unusual creatures are born, and the death of a batch of them has no impact on the Devil Domain realm at all.

That's why the Demon Bird particularly enjoys watching the Devil Domain descend into chaos. It finds the deaths of high-ranking Devil Race far more interesting than the deaths of its own low-ranking Devil Race.

When the other party dies, their body will turn into Demonic Qi and dissipate in the Devil Domain. This is a good thing for them to grow!

The demon bird kept its thoughts very well hidden, and neither Sang Ying nor the others noticed.

Hearing the demonic bird's words, Jiang Zhuoxue didn't immediately let it leave. Instead, she said, "I'll ask you one last question: Do you know where the Heart Devil Mirror is?"

The demon bird's beady eyes widened involuntarily for a moment. This time, the high-ranking Devil Race who wanted to rebel were much smarter than the previous ones; they even knew to seize the Devil Race treasure, the Heart Devil Mirror, first.

Its eyes darted around. "Of course I know that. We Devil Race have all heard of it; the Heart Devil Mirror is hidden on the fifth floor."

As for its exact location, it was unclear.

After all, no matter how good it is at gathering information or how clever it is, it is still just a low-level Devil Race. Unless it rebels, it has no right to go to the fifth level.

Jiang Zhuoxue gave the demonic bird a deep look, her voice low and hoarse. "Alright, you can leave now."

The demon bird cawed a few more times before happily flapping its wings and flying away.

Just as it turned around, Bai Nianchou's sword swiftly pierced its body. The demonic bird didn't even have time to regret its actions before it bid farewell to this world forever.

"This guy is dishonest." Sang Ying's tone was somewhat cold; she hadn't overlooked the malicious glint in the demonic bird's eyes when it instigated their rebellion.

Besides, they've taken such a huge risk this time, interrogating Devil Creature. If this big-mouthed bird exposes them, it will attract too much attention and make their actions inconvenient.

To ensure the information provided by the demonic bird was accurate, they later used several low-level Devil Race to probe the area. Once they determined that the fifth level was the most likely location to hide the Heart Devil Mirror, they immediately took action.

Jiang Zhuoxue's disguise was very useful, but it was only effective against low-level Devil Race. Against high-level Devil Race, everything they relied on to conceal with Demonic Qi was in danger of being exposed at any time.

Therefore, the seven of them acted with extreme caution. They avoided all the Devil Race along the way and took the most dangerous path before finally reaching the fifth floor.

But as the demon bird said, the fifth level is where the high-ranking Devil Race reside, and their actions encounter the greatest obstacle there.

However, as soon as they entered the fifth floor, they immediately attracted the attention of a Devil Race. If Sang Ying hadn't had everyone split up at the crucial moment, and she and Jiang Zhuoxue hadn't drawn the Devil Race away, the seven of them would probably have been exposed on the spot.

However, Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue, who had lured away the Devil Race, were in trouble. Relying on the Demonic Qi surrounding them, they led the Devil Race to chase after them, but in the end, they drove themselves into a dead end.

Looking at the solid wall in front of him, the footsteps of the high-ranking Devil Race were right behind him.

Sang Ying looked to her left and saw another wall. The footsteps were only a dozen meters away.

Sang Ying looked to her right and saw a closed window. The footsteps were only a few meters away from them.

Without thinking twice, Sang Ying smashed the window and pulled Jiang Zhuoxue through it.

The room was pitch black, but the two of them, having cultivated their skills, quickly adapted to the darkness and found a way out.

The Devil Race relentlessly pursued them, seemingly determined to corner Sang Ying and her companion.

At the same time, this Devil Race, fearing things might escalate, frantically summoned even more Devil Race to ambush the person, instantly turning the entire fifth level from its previous tranquility into a bustling scene.

The two continued to hide, but the sounds of pursuit outside grew louder and louder.

Fortunately, the fifth level was indeed very large. They wandered around this Devil Domain, and their Divine Sense came in very handy at this moment.

They were cornered by two teams, and only a dark tunnel lay before them once again.

"Do you dare to make a bet with me?" Sang Ying gripped Jiang Zhuoxue's hand tightly, her gaze fixed intently on him.

Jiang Zhuoxue smiled, "With you, what wouldn't I dare to do?" Although he felt that he should have been the one to ask that question earlier.

However, there's no point in worrying about these things now.

Before the two teams arrived, Sang Ying and Jiang Zhuoxue had already jumped into the bottomless pit.

When the teams led by the two high-ranking Devil Race caught up, all they found was an empty tunnel.

There were Devil Race in their group who wanted to jump in with them, but they were stopped by the Devil Race leader.

"Fool, do you even know what's in there? Why did you jump in like that?" the high-ranking Devil Race shouted sternly.

The low-ranking Devil Race obediently shook his head, indicating that he did not understand.

The other party sneered, "This is the slumbering place of our high-ranking Devil Race. These two strange creatures dare to step into this place; they're simply courting death!"
