Chapter 1022: Chapter 1022 - 451: Green Demon Arc - Waves
Hidden sanctuary.
Accompanied by a flash of light.
A group of humans suddenly appeared in this demon land.
"Indeed, it is the handiwork of the Lord of Mansion..."
While Ye Zhongyu and his team commanded their troops nervously, the Zuo Family Ancestor traced the patterns on the wall with his hand.
"Isolated perception, sealed by an array, no wonder we couldn’t find it. Unless the moment the entrance is opened, there’s some breath leaking, otherwise, it’s impossible to be detected."
The Bai Family Ancestor said in a deep voice.
"Ordinarily we could find it, but with the interference of the Heaven’s Circle Array... Lord Lan, has been setting this up for a long time."
The Hei Family Ancestor rarely spoke up.
"Oh! The array patterns have changed... it’s a composite array!"
"Locking from the outside to the inside, he wants to trap us."
"Interesting, Lord Lan wants to crush us all at once?"
The three ancestors discussed leisurely the intricate design of the place, while the others appeared increasingly tense.
"This is... the hiding place of demons!"
Holding the token, Ye Zhongyu took a deep breath.
He looked around but did not see the three ancestors.
With only them, attacking this place had no chance of success.
About to speak...
Step, step, step.
Ahead, a group of demons was approaching!
No!
Not just a group! It was densely packed!
The situation, the situation, clearly seemed like they knew in advance they would attack!
"We’ve been deceived! That Diao Deyi indeed has defected to the demons!"
Ye Zhongyu spoke coldly.
Ming Tianqi’s expression was also extremely grim, the overwhelming swarm of demons had surrounded them completely, not to mention the threat posed by familiar demon leaders, just the sheer difference in numbers was beyond what they could handle.
"I told you, that guy was suspicious! Ancestor? Ancestor, are you here?"
Shu Shangming shouted nervously around, but no one responded.
All the invading humans retreated and huddled together, forced into a corner.
"Teleport! Teleport out! Things are not looking good!"
Shu Shangming yelled.
But Ye Zhongyu had already secretly used the token several times, but it was useless!
The token seemed to have lost its connection with this place, suddenly becoming ineffective!
Gulp!
Ye Zhongyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Could it be... today, they would all perish here?
"Don’t squeeze!"
"Back up! Back up! The demons are closing in!"
"Should we fight?! Lord Hall Master, should we fight!!"
Under high pressure, everyone’s emotions were agitated.
And at this moment, just as the demons had pushed the humans into a corner, surrounding them tightly, they suddenly stopped.
The Shu Bird Demon and other demon leaders emerged, looking towards Ye Zhongyu and the others.
"Humans, we meet again."
The Shu Bird Demon’s lips curled up.
Everything, exactly as he expected.
Everything was within Lord Lan’s calculations!
The only flaw was the Green Demon, now missing and causing him some worry.
"No need to waste words with them, destroy them, avenge the Destructive Demon!"
The Heart Burning Demon spoke coldly.
The Blood Sea Demon was also nearby, the circular blood water surged, enveloping his body.
Three demon leaders against three hall masters, the strength disparity was clear.
Not to mention the quantitative and qualitative differences among their underlings, creating an overwhelming advantage for the demons.
But at this moment, a voice gently sounded.
"Don’t rush."
The voice was light, yet it echoed in everyone’s ears.
Even the three ancestors hiding their forms changed their expressions and looked in a certain direction.
Only to see the demons suddenly opening a path, allowing a human to walk slowly to the front of the crowd.
Even if they hadn’t seen him before, Ye Zhongyu and the others immediately guessed his identity.
"Lan Yuhe, Lord Lan..."
Ye Zhongyu and others murmured softly.
And the demons all knelt down, even the demon leaders were no exception.
"Lord Lan!"
"Lord Lan!"
"Lord Lan!"
Only to see Lord Lan’s lips slightly curl, with a light gesture of his forefinger in the void.
As if removing an invisible cloak, three figures appeared abruptly among the crowd.
"Hahaha! Lord Lan’s skills haven’t diminished since back then!"
Before anyone else could react, the Zuo Family Ancestor was the first to laugh heartily.
"Lord Lan, back then you left abruptly, why have you returned now? And against us, approaching with sword and blade, standing with the demons." The Bai Family Ancestor said, his expression complex.
"...Lord Lan, please enlighten us!"
The Hei Family Ancestor was the most succinct, merely adopting the apprentice saluting his master posture.
This salute seemed to traverse through time, returning to the initial moment when the five of them and Lord Lan met as master and apprentices.
Yet, of the small group from back then, only three remained today.
Lord Lan rarely retracted his expression, revealing a somewhat serious demeanor.
"From the beginning of humankind, there was sin. But why should the sins of ancestors be borne by us descendants? I want to [question the divine], with human flesh, to charge [the Immortals] with guilt!"
With Lord Lan’s statement, while the others were confused, only the three ancestors’ expressions changed drastically.
"Lord Lan, human power cannot even break through this realm, why are you so persistent about it!"
"Lord Lan, the immortals are dead! Immortals have vanished! Apart from treasures like [artifacts] left behind by immortals, proving the existence of Immortals, where else in the world are there traces of immortals? Your path to [seeking immortality] was wrong from the beginning!"
Step!
The Hei Family Ancestor, the most direct, stepped forward, disregarding others, walking towards Lord Lan step by step.
"Lord Lan, back then you said, demon blood would corrupt human purity. The power of the Spirit God would drive human consciousness insane. Only humans, pure humans, can reach the true end. Yet now, following your path, I’ve walked this far, yet my heart is filled with confusion. Here, I ask Lord Lan, to enlighten me!"
