Hearing this, Liu Ming's expression changed slightly. His eyes glowed with purple light as he looked in the direction Zhao Qianying was looking at.
With the continuous injection of magic power, his Purple Rune Demon Eyes' eyesight was raised to the extreme.
In the fog ahead, several purple streaks of light appeared, heading in the direction of the Demon Abyss Tower.
"Correct. From their attire, they are indeed from the HuangFu Clan. Apart from them, there seems to be others." Liu Ming nodded and looked at Zhao Qianying with a strange expression.
This woman's actions were a bit strange. It was as if she didn't want to meet the HuangFu Clan.
"Brother Liu, I do have some difficulties. I don't want to meet the HuangFu Clan, but my cultivation method is a bit special. However, my cultivation method is a bit special. If I get too close, I'm afraid that they will sense me. I wonder if I can temporarily hide in your Grotto-Heaven Treasure? "Zhao Qianying asked with an anxious expression.
Liu Ming nodded and raised his hand. A Heavenly Abode Mountain Pearl appeared in a flash. Then, a large amount of yellow light surged out and wrapped around Zhao Qianying's body. It flew back into the pearl and disappeared without a trace.
Ouyang Ming watched as Liu Ming took Zhao Qianying into his grotto-heaven. His expression didn't change, but he was curious about Liu Ming's identity. After Liu Ming put away the pearl, he asked,
"Liu, what do we do now?"
"It's rare for someone to lead the way. Let's go, we'll secretly follow them." Liu Ming said in a low voice. He patted his shoulder and a ball of green light wrapped around the two.
Ouyang Ming was shocked when he was enveloped by the green light. Then, he immediately sensed the effect of the green light and his expression eased.
As Liu Ming chanted the incantation, the two figures suddenly became faintly discernible. Their breaths were also completely shielded and did not leak out at all.
A look of surprise flashed in Ouyang Ming's eyes, and he felt reassured in his heart. With this kind of Secret Technique that could conceal one's tracks, as long as they were careful in this environment that was filled with red mist, even an almighty expert in the Profound Comprehension Realm might not be able to discover their tracks.
"Let's go!"
Liu Ming said in a low voice. The two turned into faint green shadows and flew forward.
The HuangFu Clan's group wasn't flying very fast, so Liu Ming and Ouyang Ming quickly caught up. However, in order to avoid being discovered, the two intentionally maintained a certain distance from the group.
Liu Ming revealed a surprised expression. Out of the ten people from the HuangFu Clan, only six were left. Beside the HuangFu Clan, there were five demon cultivators wearing golden robes.
He had met these people before at the entrance of the Devil Abyss Secret Realm. They were from the Long clan, one of the four great clans.
"Mr. Liu, those people in golden robes don't seem to be from the Huangfu Family?" At this moment, Ouyang Ming's voice sounded in Liu Ming's ears.
"En, those people are from the Long Shi Clan, one of the four great clans. It seems that they have formed an alliance." Liu Ming replied.
Ouyang Ming's face darkened. Just the strength of the six HuangFu Clan members far surpassed the three of them. If the five people from the Long Clan were to join them, he and Liu Ming wouldn't stand a chance if they fought for the treasure.
After all, there were three Mystic Enlightening Realm experts in the group.
… …
The HuangFu Clan's group didn't notice that there were two tails behind them. Huangfu Yupo's brows were tightly furrowed as if she was sensing something with her eyes closed.
A moment later, she opened her eyes.
"How is it?" Huangfu Kuizhao, who was flying not far away from Huangfu Yupo, asked.
"Not good. I can't sense the princess's aura." Huangfu Yupo sighed and replied.
"Did you make a mistake?" Huangfu Kuizhao frowned.
"I don't think so. I clearly sensed the aura of the Princess' Phantasmal Art just now. However, it disappeared in the blink of an eye. Someone must have used a technique to conceal it," Huangfu Yupo said with certainty.
"If that's the case, the Liu Clan should be nearby. The princess might really be in their hands. Could it be that they intentionally let you sense the princess's aura to threaten us?" Huangfu Kuizhao guessed with a solemn expression.
"It's highly possible." Huangfu Yupo nodded with an ugly expression.
"If that's the case, we must be mentally prepared. The Demon King said before we left that we must consider the bigger picture after entering the Demon Abyss. If the Liu Clan really uses Princess Ying as a threat, Elder Yupo, please forgive me for putting our clan's interests first. "Huangfu Kuizhao said with a cold expression.
"… Alright." Huangfu Yupo's eyes revealed a complicated expression. He sighed faintly and nodded.
The two Ethereal Enlightenment existences from the Huangfu Clan finally reached an agreement. However, they didn't know that although Zhao Qianying was indeed nearby, her situation was completely different from what they had expected.
Behind the two, the five people from the Long Clan, led by the golden-robed young woman, followed behind the Huangfu Clan from a distance. They all had calm expressions.
… …
Liu Ming and Ouyang Ming, who were following behind, naturally didn't know what the Huangfu Clan's mighty figure was thinking at this moment. The two of them still carefully controlled the escape light and silently moved forward while sticking close to the ground.
The Huangfu Clan seemed to have discovered that there was no danger here, so they gradually increased their speed.
An hour later, everyone from the Huangfu Clan finally arrived at the Demon Abyss Tower, which was a little hazy from before. It was also under the Ancient Ink Tree.
After descending to the ground, the Long Family members still maintained a certain distance from the group ahead of them.
The eleven of them weren't in a hurry to enter the Demon Abyss Tower. Instead, they sized up the place.
Liu Ming and Ouyang Ming followed them silently and hid in a patch of giant flowers a few hundred meters away. They looked up at the giant tree in the distance and revealed a horrified expression.
The ancient ink tree was like a huge mountain that reached the sky. The tree trunk had a majestic aura that rushed into the sky and entered the pale red mist in the air.
The visible part of the tree trunk was already unbelievably thick. The entire tree was wrapped in greyish-black rough bark.
Liu Ming silently estimated that the ancient ink tree should be a few miles thick. It could be said that it was the largest plant he had ever seen.
Liu Ming recalled Mo Tian's words and secretly guessed that the ancient ink tree was really connected to the sky and the Ancient Devil World.
He thought about it in his heart, but his gaze gradually shifted downwards.
He might be a little curious about the Ancient Devil World, but he didn't have any intention of exploring it.
The roots on the ground of the Giant Hamo Tree were also extremely thick and intertwined. The roots that were exposed on the ground were like a series of connected hills.
"Eh?"
His eyes flashed as he noticed that among the roots, he could occasionally see one or two protruding graves. There were also tombstones erected beside them, but they looked very dilapidated. The words on them were already blurred, and it was unknown how many years they had been through.
Ouyang Ming also noticed the existence of those tombstones, but his understanding of the Ten Thousand Devil Continent wasn't as good as Liu Ming. He naturally didn't know the origin of those tombstones.
"Those tombstones are rumored to be erected by the Ancient Devil Clan's generals who died in battle after the Ancient Devil Clan invaded other continents." Mo Tian's voice appeared in Liu Ming's mind.
"Doesn't that mean there's an Ancient Devil Corpse buried in each of these tombstones?!" Liu Ming was shocked when he heard Mo Tian's words.
Although it was only a cursory glance, there were at least a dozen tombstones around him. Didn't that mean there were more than a dozen Ancient Devil Corpses? His heart shuddered when he imagined these Ancient Devil Corpses burrowing out from the ground and pouncing at him.
"You don't have to worry. The Ancient Devil Corpses in these tombstones have long been buried deep underground. They seem to be trapped by the ancient ink tree and won't come out. Strictly speaking, the area under the ancient ink tree is considered a safe place. "Mo Tian said lightly.
Liu Ming's face immediately relaxed when he heard this.
The HuangFu Clan's group was obviously shocked by the ancient ink tree's majestic appearance, but they quickly recovered after looking around. After a soft discussion with the few people in the lead, they began to fly around the roots of the ancient ink tree.
Liu Ming and Ouyang Ming silently followed behind.
After circling around the ancient ink tree for half a round, the HuangFu Clan's group let out a cheer. In front of them, there was a flat trunk at the bottom of the ancient ink tree. There was a black hole that looked like a square door.
There were three ancient words written above the entrance. Even with Liu Ming's knowledge, he couldn't recognize these three ancient words. However, from the strokes, it should be the ancient words of the Devil Race.
"Senior Mo Tian, could this be …" Liu Ming was excited as he transmitted a message.
"That's right. This is the ancient ink tree, which is also the entrance to the Devil Abyss Tower. However, there is a layer of restriction on the entrance that needs to be opened with the Devil Abyss Key. "Mo Tian's tone was also a little excited.
Liu Ming's brows twitched when he heard this and quickly looked over.
As expected, there was a layer of faint black light barrier at the entrance of the black hole. It was similar to the restriction at the entrance of the Devil Origin Mystic Realm, but the color was different.
Ouyang Ming also revealed an excited expression when he looked at the black entrance.
"Brother Ouyang, don't be impatient." Liu Ming glanced at Ouyang Ming and quickly transmitted a message to remind him.
Ouyang Ming took a deep breath and smiled at Liu Ming. "Liu, don't worry. I might want the Cosmic Lightning Resistance Bracelet, but I won't be so reckless."
Liu Ming nodded and was about to say something. However, his expression suddenly changed and he turned to the side.
"Be careful, someone is coming!" He pulled Ouyang Ming and the two of them hid behind a giant tree root.
As the two of them concealed themselves, a series of air-piercing sounds came from the horizon!
There were streaks of light flying over. After a few flashes, they landed near the entrance of the Devil Abyss Tower.
The streaks of light disappeared and revealed seven or eight figures. They were the Liu Clan and the Kong Xiang Clan.
