CHAPTER 182: CHAPTER 174: PEOPLE ARE QUITE BAD

"Holy Daughter, it has only been an hour. We have already lost half of our companions," a member of the Demon Clan said in terror.

One must know, aside from the squad of the Holy Daughter, the other nineteen squads are relatively balanced in strength.

Those two humans could easily annihilate other squads, and they could easily annihilate them too!

How could they not panic?

Ran Bi’s expression also turned somewhat ugly.

She hoped that the demons would consume the lives of those two humans, but the hunting speed of the humans had not decreased at all!

Is this strategy really effective anymore?

No, this can’t go on.

If too many of the Demon Clan were lost, even if they ultimately won, she as the Holy Daughter might still face considerable scrutiny.

Although she is of high status, ordinary demons could question her without any impact on her whatsoever.

But Ran Bi had her own ambitions, and a poor reputation would be detrimental to her future plans.

Ran Bi made a decisive decision: "All demons, gather in my direction, stop giving the humans the opportunity to defeat us one by one."

Upon hearing the new order, all demons breathed a sigh of relief and began to converge in Ran Bi’s direction.

Now.

With their reduced numbers, they couldn’t use the Hundred Demon Formation anymore, but the formation is very flexible; a hundred demons could form it, and so could five, it just made a difference in strength.

Now that fifty of them were gathered together, they could still use a scaled-down version of the formation.

Although the power would be reduced, with the Holy Daughter present, those two humans wouldn’t be able to make any significant moves!

On the compass, all the points began to converge in the same direction.

Lu Zhuoyan raised an eyebrow: "They are beginning to gather. The direction they are gathering in must be where the Demon Clan Holy Daughter is."

"Fifty demons gathered together could probably still utilize a formation. The power of this formation is still unknown, so we need to be cautious," Shi Nian stated.

Lu Zhuoyan deeply agreed: "Indeed, our lives are worth much more than those demons’."

"They will probably come after us soon. Shall we run first?" Shi Nian suggested.

"Let’s go!" Lu Zhuoyan immediately agreed.

The two men did not hesitate and began to flee.

Demon Clan.

"Great! The Holy Daughter has issued the rallying order! Let’s see what those two little mice can do now!"

"The Holy Daughter’s reaction is swift! This time, they are surely doomed."

"So what if half the demons died? With the Holy Daughter here, we are still invincible."

In the Demon World, there is a complete blind trust in the Holy Daughter Ran Bi.

At this moment, seeing Ran Bi change the strategy, they felt revitalized once again.

Contrarily.

In the Human Realm, the people became worried again.

These two heroes seem very strong.

But they have only been hunting small squads one at a time, never encountering the Demon Clan Holy Daughter face-to-face.

Now that the demons are no longer dispersed, do they still have a chance?

Demon Clan.

A Supreme from the Demon Clan spoke calmly.

"This human girl managing to come this far is already extremely commendable. But along the way, she clearly did not dare to confront the Demon Clan Holy Daughter directly. Now with the demons gathering, she probably has no strategies left."

"The Human Clan is destined to fail. At this point, it’s only about delaying a little longer."

"Look, the demons are making a move!"

Immortal Demon Battlefield.

The remaining fifty demons gathered together.

Ran Bi, with a stern face, said coldly, "Next, I will use a Secret Technique to directly lock on those two human’s locations. This Secret Technique will consume my Magic Power. The longer the technique is used, the more Magic Power it will consume. Once we find them, we must fight quickly and decisively!"

"Yes," the demons responded thunderously.

Ran Bi nodded, and under the protection of the group of demons, she began to perform the Secret Technique.

While she had been chasing Shi Nian and Lu Zhuoyan and hadn’t managed to encounter them directly, she had collected some of their Qi at the scene.

Now it could be used to lock onto their positions.

Suddenly, Ran Bi formed several mysterious hand seals, then her Magic Power transformed into a small black bird.

Ran Bi then condensed the collected Qi of Shi Nian and Lu Zhuoyan into a small orb of light and fed it to the bird.

The body of the bird expanded for a moment and then returned to normal.

It recognized the direction, and dashed towards it.

"Follow up!" Ran Bi coldly said.

A group from the Demon Clan immediately followed.

In the deep forest.

Shi Nian felt something unusual the moment it happened.

"Host, you are being tracked." Little Tong reveled a bit in the misfortune.

It just couldn’t stand how cowardly the host was acting anymore.

Why run?

Just fight them head-on!

Shi Nian raised her eyebrows. Her Qi was vaguely locked on, but she could feel that she could erase it anytime.

But, should she erase it...

"The Demon Clan has locked onto us," Lu Zhuoyan also noticed and immediately voiced a warning.

Little Tong couldn’t help but say: "Host, there’s something up with your little martial uncle. How did he notice it so quickly?"

Shi Nian raised her eyebrows.

Is Little Tong just now realizing that there’s something off about little martial uncle?

Even Shi Nian couldn’t see through the true strength of her little martial uncle.

Setting aside combat abilities, the number of his odd yet useful skills were perhaps a bit too many.

Shi Nian was always curious.

Even without her presence, but with little martial uncle around, how could Ling Tian Peak have fallen to such a fate?

From those two worlds, it seems that eldest martial sister, second martial brother, Master, all met a demise where their paths were destroyed.

Third martial brother and the little martial sister probably didn’t fare much better.

But if little martial uncle had been there, how could he allow them to end up with such a fate?

There are only two possibilities.

Either little martial uncle, like her, never appeared in the book.

Or, little martial uncle encountered some accidents later and was preoccupied with his own troubles.

Which possibility it could be, Shi Nian still had no way of knowing.

Lu Zhuoyan didn’t know Shi Nian’s thoughts had wandered off; he spoke, "This Demon Clan Saintess’s Qi Machine Traction Method isn’t very well-practiced. I could try a small maneuver and mislead her somewhere else."

Shi Nian’s eyes lit up: "Little martial uncle, you have such skills!"

Lu Zhuoyan modestly nodded, "A minor trick. Fifty li from here, there’s a lair of a fierce beast, why don’t we lure them there?"

A lair of a fierce beast fifty li away?

Shi Nian instantly caught on.

The Immortal Demon Battlefield is known to have fierce beasts present.

These fierce beasts, unlike demon beasts, initially lack intellect, and their strength improves only through devouring each other.

Eventually, there appear fiercely powerful beasts after much devouring.

After reaching the Transcendence Tribulation Stage, fierce beasts gain a hint of intellect, they mark a territory and can cultivate some basic cultivation techniques. But the fierce nature of these beasts remains, and any outsider entering their territory will face a relentless battle.

When the Immortal Demon Battlefield first opened, the Human Clan was unaware of the fierce beasts, and those who accidentally entered territories of a beast in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage often met a grim fate.

After many explorations, the Human Clan also compiled a map; places marked in red indicated territories of fierce beasts and warned against approaching them carelessly.

The Demon Clan possesses a similar map.

Generally, the Demon Clan wouldn’t dare to invade a Fierce Beast’s territory.

But this Demon Clan Saintess, due to some luck with her Qi Machine Traction Method, if they follow the trail thinking that she and little martial uncle entered the fierce beast’s lair?

In pursuit of them, the Demon Clan would likely also enter the lair.

If the Demon Clan and the fierce beasts start fighting...

Shi Nian chuckled sinisterly, looking at Lu Zhuoyan with a rather evil expression: "Little martial uncle, you are quite the schemer."

Lu Zhuoyan glanced at her, very modestly: "I’m no match for you."

"Then we shall..."

Shi Nian immediately leaned closer to Lu Zhuoyan, and they started whispering together.

Little Tong: "..."

It, a dignified Little Tong, why did it have to end up with such a master?

Why?

Ahhhh!
