Not too long later, they arrived at a depression in the mountains. A few Otherworldly Demons were standing on the spot, gathering spiritual energy from the surroundings toward them. It seemed like they were activating some kind of formation.
Taking a closer look, the strongest of the four Otherworldly Demons was around Mou Wu's level, reaching Sempiternal realm. As for the other three, they were only at Great Sage 1-dan Introspective Convalescence realm.
In front of them was a Teleportation Formation. However, judging from the appearance of the formation flags, it was extremely ancient. It was hard to tell how long it had been in operation, so it was a little old. Thus, it was more troublesome to activate it.
The strongest Otherworldly Demon was glaring at the Otherworldly Demon furiously. He was the one who had bellowed earlier.
"Lord Mo Ye, I've tried my best, but this formation is too old … I can't do anything about it!"
The Otherworldly Demon driving the formation replied with an awkward look on his face.
"Cut the crap and hurry up. Otherwise, if anything were to happen, both of our heads will roll!"
Lord Mo Ye waved his hand.
"Yes!"
Not daring to utter a single word, the Otherworldly Demon furiously drove his zhenqi, and the rate at which spiritual energy was gathering in the surroundings increased. The ancient formation glowed brightly, as if it would be activated at any moment.
The face of the Otherworldly Demon was pale, and it seemed like he was on the verge of collapsing.
"Hurry and help!"
He summoned the other two.
Without any hesitation, the remaining two Introspective Convalescence realm Otherworldly Demons slit their fingers and sent a surge of blood toward the teleporter.
Weng!
In an instant, the Spirit Qi became abnormally dense, and the array released a dazzling light.
"Yes!"
Seeing that the formation had been activated, Mo Ye harrumphed and entered the center of the formation.
Whoosh!
Surrounded by light, a crack appeared in space. Mo Ye entered it and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Patter!
As soon as Mo Ye left, the remaining three Introspective Transcendent experts all slumped to the ground.
From the looks of it, the formation earlier had sapped all of their strength in an instant.
"It's fortunate that we managed to complete it. Otherwise, we would have been beheaded …" Despite their exhaustion, the trio still couldn't help but chuckle.
If the array formation hadn't been activated just now, he would have lost his life.
Just as he was rejoicing, the sound of footsteps suddenly sounded. Following which, a towering tribesman walked up to him.
"Lord Mou Wu!"
Upon seeing the appearance of this person, the three of them hurriedly stood up.
"Yes, activate the formation and send me to where Mo Ye just went!"
Mou Wu waved his hand.
This Mou Wu was naturally Zhang Xuan in disguise.
Given how Mo Ye was in such a hurry to leave through the Teleportation Formation, there was no doubt that he had something important to do. Since he had seen Mo Ye, it was only right for him to stop him. At the same time, he could also try to find out more about the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe.
"Milord is also going to the Thousand Leaf Sea?"
The Otherworldly Demon who had activated the formation nearly burst into tears.
He had just been teleported once, and he had already lost his life. If he were to teleport again … he would most likely die.
"Didn't Sovereign Chen Ling instruct Milord to head to Jiang Xinghe's side?"
Zhang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
Mou Wu had gone to the seal of Mount Longhu and had been called Ye Xinghe by the other party. It seemed that the other party had a different way of referring to regions.
"I've already dealt with the matter at Ye Xinghe, and Sovereign Chen Ling wants me to rush to the Thousand Leaf Sea as soon as possible to meet up with Mo Ye. Why … do I still need to report to you?"
Squinting his eyes, Zhang Xuan's Slaughter Zhenqi surged out. His armor flapped, and it seemed like he was ready to attack at any moment.
Mou Wu's armor was exactly the same as Heng Jiang's. As long as he changed his appearance, there was no need to worry about his clothes being exposed.
"I wouldn't dare …"
The Otherworldly Demon who had activated the formation had an awful look on his face. Thus, he could only continue channeling his zhenqi into the formation.
However, he had expended too much energy earlier, and his stamina was running low at the moment.
The other two Otherworldly Demons knew that they would be taught a lesson if they failed to activate the formation. Thus, they quickly rushed over to help.
Paying no heed to the Otherworldly Demons, Zhang Xuan asked, "I have just dealt with the matter at Ye Xinghe, so I'm not too sure about the situation at the Thousand Leaf Sea yet. How are things over there?"
Since Ye Xinghe was in the Subterranean Gallery of Mount Longhu, there was a good chance that the Thousand Leaf Sea was one of the six Subterranean Galleries that could be breached at any moment.
Since they were able to pass through the Thousand Leaf Sea, it would be a good opportunity for them to deal with the other Subterranean Galleries as well.
"Milord, due to our low standing, we aren't too sure about the details. However … we heard from Lord Mo Ye that Sovereign Chen Xing and Sovereign Chen Ling have jointly issued an order for the garrison troops of the Thousand Leaf Sea to attack immediately!"
One of the Otherworldly Demons replied without any hesitation.
"Garrison troops? Attack? "Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
Previously, when Heng Jiang and the others from the Zhang family weren't in a hurry to attack, Zhang Xuan had been worried that they might be waiting for reinforcements to arrive. Ten thousand Otherworldly Demons was already a fearsome force to be reckoned with. Once reinforcements arrived, they would surely fall.
However, from what this fellow was saying, it seemed like the Thousand Leaf Sea was where the reinforcements were located.
To attack immediately upon receiving the order … Which Subterranean Gallery were they planning to attack?
Would it be dangerous?
Furthermore, the most important thing was …
Sovereign Chen Xing and Sovereign Chen Ling had issued an order together!
Previously, Heng Jiang's order was for Sovereign Chen Ling to attack while Sovereign Chen Xing ordered them to wait in place … In other words, the two of them didn't share the same opinion. However, at this very moment, the two of them had issued an order for everyone to attack.
"How many soldiers are there in the Thousand Leaf Sea at the moment? Can you spare some to reinforce Ye Xinghe? "
Zhang Xuan asked, feigning ignorance.
"The Thousand Leaf Sea is filled with the strongest soldiers of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe. They are led by Sovereign Chen Ling and Sovereign Chen Xing, and there are at least a hundred thousand of them!"
One of the Otherworldly Demons replied proudly.
"A hundred thousand?"
Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up, and he nearly fell to the ground.
Just ten thousand soldiers was enough to force the entire Zhang family into the Subterranean Gallery … Even the headquarters of the Mingshi Tang wouldn't be able to suppress a hundred thousand of them simultaneously!
The Otherworldly Demons actually possessed an army of such scale?
If they were that powerful, how could the Master Teacher Continent be defended?
"That's right!" The Otherworldly Demon replied. "This is the first time that the two Sovereigns have joined forces. They have gathered all of the experts of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe in order to breach a single passageway … The soldiers of the other Subterranean Galleries have all headed to the Thousand Leaf Sea, and only Ye Xinghe was too far away, so they didn't inform us …"
A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes as he heaved a sigh of relief.
He had thought that they would attack all 108 Subterranean Galleries simultaneously with a hundred thousand reinforcements, but from the looks of it, that wasn't the case.
Most likely, they had gathered all of the soldiers of the Subterranean Galleries together to attack a single Subterranean Gallery.
Furthermore, judging from the other party's words, this was the first time that Sovereign Chen Xing and Sovereign Chen Ling had joined forces … Putting that together, it seemed like the Three Sovereigns of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe weren't as harmonious as he had thought.
Perhaps, they were wary of one another, which was why they couldn't gather their forces together. Otherwise, even the headquarters of the Mingshi Tang wouldn't have been able to suppress them.
"Something's not right … Lord Mou Wu, as a Commander, how could you possibly be unaware of this?"
One of the Otherworldly Demons suddenly realized that something was amiss and exclaimed. The other two were stunned for a moment before turning their gazes over.
