Demon's Diary

Chapter 1363: Trailing Behind

Chapter 1363: Trailing Behind

Hearing this, Liu Ming was slightly shocked. His eyes burst into purple light as he stared in the direction where Zhao Qianying was looking at.

With the continuous injection of spiritual power, the Purple-Patterned Demonic Pupils were channeled to the extreme.

In the mist ahead, several purple escape lights were flying toward the Demon Abyss Tower.

“Yes. Judging from their attire, they are indeed members of the Huangfu Family. Besides, there seem to be some other people.” Liu Ming nodded and gave Zhao Qianying a strange look.

The behavior of this woman was a bit strange as if she didn’t want to meet people of the Huangfu Family.

“Brother Liu, I really have my own difficulty to avoid meeting the people of the Huangfu Family. But the technique I practice is a bit special. I’m afraid they will sense me if they get close. Can you let me hide in your immortal magic weapon for a while?” Zhao Qianying said to Liu Ming with a somewhat anxious expression.

Liu Ming nodded. He released an Immortal Mountain River Pearl and kept Zhao Qianying in it.

After watching Liu Ming kept Zhao Qianying into his immortal magic weapon, Ouyang Ming was a little curious about Liu Ming’s identity. After Liu Ming put away the Mountain River Pearl, he asked,

“Mr. Liu, what shall we do now?”

“Now that someone is showing the way for us, let’s sneak up behind them.” Liu Ming said in a low voice, patted his shoulder with one hand, and covered them in a green light.

Ouyang Ming was shocked at first, but he immediately noticed the effect of this green light.

As Liu Ming chanted, their figures became faintly visible, and their aura was completely hidden.

Ouyang Ming’s eyes flashed with a hint of astonishment. With such a concealment technique, even the Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses might not be able to spot them in this red mist.

“Let’s go!”

Liu Ming said in a low voice, then they flew forward in a faint green shadow.

The Huangfu Family in front was not flying fast, so Liu Ming and Ouyang Ming quickly caught up. However, in order to prevent being discovered, they deliberately kept a distance.

To Liu Ming’s surprise, the Huangfu Family only had 6 people left. Beside the Huangfu Family, there were 5 demons in golden costumes.

As for these people, he had seen them at the entrance of Demon Abyss. They belonged to 1 of the 4 great families, the Long Family.

“Mr. Liu, those people in golden robes don’t seem to belong to the Huangfu Family?” At this moment, Ouyang Ming’s voice sounded in Liu Ming’s ears.

“Yeah, those people are members of the Long Family, 1 of the 4 great families. It seems that they have formed an alliance.” Liu Ming replied via voice transmission.

Ouyang Ming’s face turned grim. The 6 people of the Huangfu Family were far more powerful than the 3 of them. Adding the 5 members of the Long Family, if they fought head-on for treasures, they had 0 chance of winning.

After all, there were 3 Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses among them.

…

The party of Huangfu Family didn’t realize that they were being followed. Huangfu Yupo frowned and closed her eyes as if she was sensing something.

After a moment, she opened her eyes.

“How is it?” Huangfu Kuizhao was flying not far from Huangfu Yupo. Seeing this, he asked with voice transmission.

“I can’t feel the aura of the princess anymore.” Huangfu Yupo sighed and replied through voice transmission.

“Did you sense it wrong just now?” Huangfu Kuizhao frowned.

“Probably not. Just now I did clearly sense the aura of princess’ Five Element Illusory Demon Technique, but it disappeared without a trace in an instant. It must have been covered by someone’s spell.” Huangfu Yupo said with certainty.

“In this way, the Liu Family should have come here. It is possible that the princess is really in their hands. They may have deliberately let you sense the aura of the princess just now. Could it be that they want to threaten us by this?” Huangfu Kuizhao guessed solemnly.

“It’s very likely that’s the case.” Huangfu Yupo nodded with an ugly face.

“Since this is the case, we have to be mentally prepared. Sir Demon Emperor said before that after entering the Demon Abyss, put the overall situation before everything else. If the Liu Family really threatens us with Princess Ying, Elder Yupo, please forgive me for putting the interests of our family first.” Huangfu Kuizhao said with a stern expression.

“…Okay.” Huangfu Yupo said with a complicated look, sighed imperceptibly, and nodded.

The 2 Mystic Comprehending State powerhouses of the Huangfu Family finally reached an agreement through discussion, but they didn’t know that Zhao Qianying was indeed nearby at the moment. Her situation was completely different from what they had speculated.

Behind the 2, the 5 members of the Long Family were keeping a certain distance from the Huangfu Family. They weren’t in a hurry at all.

…

Liu Ming and Ouyang Ming who followed naturally didn’t know what was going on in front. They just followed behind carefully.

Seemingly realizing that there was no danger here, everyone in the Huangfu Family gradually sped up their escape lights.

Half an hour later, the members of the Huangfu Family finally came to the Demon Abyss Tower, which was the giant tree Shadowroot.

After landing on the ground, the Long family still kept a little distance from the Huangfu Family.

They did not rush to enter the Demon Abyss Tower. Instead, they looked around on the spot.

Liu Ming and Ouyang Ming lurked in a giant flower bush hundreds of meters away. They were horrified when looking at the distant giant tree.

The Shadowroot was like a gigantic towering mountain. Its trunk soared majestically into the sky, piercing into the faint red mist in midair.

The trunk was unbelievably thick. It was covered with dark gray rough bark.

Liu Ming secretly estimated in his mind that this Shadowroot should be several miles thick. It could be said to be the largest plant he had ever seen.

Liu Ming recalled Mo Tian’s words before. This sky-reaching tree trunk seemed to connect to the Ancient Demon Realm.

While thinking so, his eyes gradually moved down.

Regarding the Ancient Demon Realm, although he was somewhat curious, he had no intention of finding out.

The roots on the ground of Shadowroot were also extremely thick and intertwined. The roots exposed on the ground were like connected hills.

“Huh.“

With a flash of his eyes, he noticed that among these tree roots, some raised tombs could occasionally be seen. There were tombstones erected beside them, but they all looked very dilapidated and the writings were already blurred. They seemed to have endured the having endured the ravages of time for many years.

Ouyang Ming also noticed those tombstones, but his understanding of the Thousands Demons Continent was not as good as Liu Ming’s, so he naturally didn’t know the origin of those tombstones.

“Those tombstones are rumored to be erected for those ancient demon generals who died in battle after the ancient demon clan failed to invade other continents.” Mo Tian’s voice emerged in Liu Ming’s mind.

“Then are there ancient demon corpses buried in these tombs!” Liu Ming was startled.

Although it was just a casual look, there were at least a dozen tombstones around him, so didn’t it mean that there were more than a dozen ancient demon corpses? When he thought of these ancient demon corpses emerging from below the ground, he felt a shudder in his heart.

“You don’t have to worry, the ancient demon corpses in these tombs have long been buried deep in the ground, and they seem to be trapped underground by Shadowroot. Strictly speaking, the bottom of Shadowroot is a safe zone.” Mo Tian said faintly.

Liu Ming was relieved when he heard this.

The Huangfu Family was obviously also shocked by the majestic appearance of Shadowroot, but after looking around, they quickly recovered from the shock. After the leaders discussed for a while, they began to circle around the Shadowroot’s roots.

Liu Ming and Ouyang Ming followed silently.

After turning around the Shadowroot for half a circle, the members of the Huangfu Family let out a cheer. In front of them, the was a black square entrance at the bottom of the trunk.

Above the entrance, there were 3 ancient characters. With Liu Ming’s knowledge, he didn’t recognize these 3 ancient characters, but judging from the strokes, it should be the language of the ancient demon race.

“Senior Mo Tian, ??could this be…” Liu Ming asked excitedly.

“Yes, this is the entrance of the Demon Abyss Tower. However, there is a layer of enchantment on this entrance, which must be opened with the Demon Abyss Key.” Mo Tian’s tone was also a little excited.

Liu Ming raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he quickly looked at it intently.

Sure enough, he saw a faint layer of black light curtain at the entrance, which was similar to the entrance enchantment of the Demon Abyss, but the color was different.

Ouyang Ming looked at the black entrance with an excited look.

“Mr. Ouyang, be patient.” Liu Ming hurriedly reminded Ouyang Ming via voice transmission.

“Mr. Liu, don’t worry, although I want the Heaven Earth Thunder Ring, I won’t be so ignorant.” Ouyang Ming took a deep breath and smiled at Liu Ming.

Liu Ming nodded. When he was about to speak, he suddenly looked at the side in shock.

“Be careful, there are other people!” He pulled Ouyang Ming, and they hid behind a huge tree root.

As they just barely hid their figures, whistling sounds came from the distant sky!

A few escape lights landed near the entrance of Demon Abyss Tower after a few flashes.

As soon as the escape lights faded, 8 figures were revealed. They were all members of the Liu Family and the Kongxiang Family.

TL: Seems like there would be a big fight before entering the tower…
