Upon hearing the words' sacrificial ceremony ', Ji Tianxing's pupils constricted as he vaguely guessed at something.
He hurriedly put on an expression of fear and reverence as he flew into the night sky, following the Demon Commander and the five Demon Kings as they flew forward.
The group tore through the night sky as fast as lightning, heading straight for the thousand-zhang tall peak in the middle of the mountain range.
As they hurried, Ji Tianxing secretly observed the situation of the Demon Race camp.
He saw that the mountains and ravines in all directions were barren and barren.
On the gray-brown mountains and rivers, demon soldiers in black armor could be seen patrolling the perimeter, wielding spears and large sabers.
In the night sky covered in black clouds, an extremely dense demon fog shrouded an area of a thousand li, obscuring the radiance of the sun, moon, and stars.
More than a hundred enormous dark red eyeballs hung in the night sky like stars, overlooking the Demon Race camp below and monitoring all movements within.
The red light emitted by those dark red eyeballs shone on the mountains and rivers, covering the entire Demon Race camp in a layer of blood.
No matter how one looked at it, the Demon Race camp was filled with a ghostly aura, like a sinister and terrifying purgatory.
However, only a minority of the Demon Race were active on the ground. They were all patrolling and guarding sentries.
The tens of millions of Demon Race soldiers were not stationed on the ground, but were hidden underground in the darkness.
Ji Tianxing had just joined the Demon Race camp, so he did not dare to act rashly. He did not release his spiritual energy to investigate the situation underground.
But he did not need to look to know that the Demon Race army had dug countless tunnels underground, constructing many Demon Caves and underground cities for them to live in.
This was a habit formed by the Demon Race over tens of millions of years.
Whether it was in the Northern Desert or in the Central Continent, this deep-rooted habit could not be changed.
Not long after, the middle-aged Demon Commander led Ji Tianxing and the others to land on the thousand-zhang tall peak.
This isolated mountain was guarded by at least ten thousand Demon Race elites. The defense was extremely tight.
Moreover, the mountain was faintly suffused with red light, and black clouds of Demon Qi soared into the sky. There were also bursts of sobbing sounds.
Invisible waves of sound came from underground, sounding extremely oppressive and strange.
It was as if tens of thousands of evil spirits were crying and howling in hell.
Ji Tianxing listened carefully for a moment, but he could not understand the meaning of those voices, nor did he know what was going on.
"Shua!"
The middle-aged Demon Commander led Ji Tianxing and the others into a dark cave halfway up the mountain.
There were more than ten Heavenly Origin Stage Devil Kings guarding the two sides of the cave. They had even set up a Soul Level Defensive Array.
"Greetings, Demon General Wu Shan!"
When they saw the middle-aged Demon Marshal, the Demon Kings guarding the cave all bowed respectfully to him.
Demon General Wu Shan waved his hand, indicating for the Demon Kings to rise. Then, he led Ji Tianxing and the others into the Demon Cave. They followed the dimly lit Demon Cave and headed underground.
Ji Tianxing's expression did not change as he traveled in silence. But in his heart, he thought, Previously, other than the Devil Emperor and the Nightmare Demon, there were also the six great Devil Marshals and the Ghost Emperor.
But I've killed four of the six great Devil Marshals and even the Ghost Emperor. Only Demon General Broken Soul and Demon General Dark Night are left.
I didn't expect the Devil Race to have a few more Soul Tempering Stage experts in just two years. The Devil Emperor made them the new Demon Marshals.
Clearly, Demon General Wu Shan had only been promoted to Demon General in the past two years.
Before this, Ji Tianxing had never heard of his name.
Of course, with his current strength, he did not care about those few Soul Tempering Stage Devil Marshals.
The only ones who could truly pose a threat to him were the four Venerables, the Blood God's Sons and the Ancient Demon Emperor!
Soon, Demon General Wu Shan led Ji Tianxing and the others through dozens of miles of tunnels and into the depths of the underground.
Along the way, Ji Tianxing discovered that there were indeed many tunnels underground. They were interconnected and extended in all directions, forming a huge underground city.
Every intersection of the tunnels was guarded by Demon soldiers.
Although a large number of Demon soldiers lived in the underground Demon Cave, it was not noisy or chaotic.
The Demon soldiers were all silent and had cold and dull personalities. They carried out their tasks quietly or rested in an orderly manner.
Only that dull and strange sound kept coming from the depths of the underground. It was like a demonic sound that pierced through one's brain, reverberating in Ji Tianxing's mind.
The deeper they went, the more ear-splitting the dull sound waves were, making one feel uneasy.
Unknowingly, 15 minutes passed.
Demon General Wu Shan led Ji Tianxing and the others to a depth of 90 miles underground and finally stopped.
At the end of the tunnel was a huge cave with a radius of 15 miles.
The walls of the cave were inlaid with blood-red gems that emitted a dark red glow.
The ground of the cave was still flat, like an empty wasteland. It was shrouded in a dark red glow and appeared especially eerie.
At least 100,000 Demon soldiers gathered in the wasteland. They were like a pitch-black tide or a black colony of ants.
These Demon soldiers were all dressed in black armor. They were arranged in neat rows and all of them knelt on the ground, kowtowing towards the center of the wasteland.
Every time they kowtowed, they would solemnly pray and recite the ancient and obscure language of the demon race.
The low chants and prayers of 100,000 people converged into a formless sound wave that reverberated in the wasteland and spread in all directions.
Seeing this scene, Ji Tianxing finally understood that the cries of the Demon soldiers he had heard earlier were coming from here!
"At least a hundred thousand demon soldiers gathered here, kowtowing and praying in a mysterious manner.
No wonder the sound waves spread from the depths of the earth. Even the human camp south of Heaven Dragon Pass could hear them.
Could this be the sacrificial ceremony that Demon General Wu Shan spoke of?
These thoughts flashed through his mind. He frowned and looked towards the center of the wasteland. He wanted to see what the 100,000 Demon soldiers were kowtowing to.
What was the sacrificial ceremony that Demon General Wu Shan spoke of?
But at this moment, Demon General Wu Shan glanced at him and the other Demon Kings. He ordered in a low voice, "The sacrificial ceremony is the most sacred and solemn event of our race. Later, all of you better behave yourselves, Benshuai!
Don't look around. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You must be respectful. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died! "
The Demon Kings were observing the situation in the wasteland. When they heard Demon General Wu Shan's words, they shrunk their necks in fear. They lowered their heads and hurried on their way.
Ji Tianxing's expression did not change, but he was more and more puzzled and expectant.
Under Demon General Wu Shan's lead, the group stepped onto the dark brown wasteland. They passed through the many Demon soldiers and walked towards the center of the wasteland.
Ji Tianxing silently hurried on. He quietly observed the situation around the wasteland and memorized the layout.
Soon, he clearly sensed that there were not only 100,000 Demon soldiers on the wasteland, but also several experts of the Spirit Refinement Realm and above.
In the center of the wasteland, there were also three extremely powerful auras that suppressed the entire area.
