The night had just fallen and the sounds of the Night Demons echoed around, something that Shen Xiang was used to by now. However, Mu Qiangxiang had only heard those eerie cries for the first time, and her delicate brows furrowed in concern.

"Senior Duan, aren't powerful Night Demons supposed to only appear during the day" Shen Xiang asked. If it wasn't for the extreme danger here, he would have gone to Fei Bai Mountain earlier and informed him about what was happening inside. "Yes, powerful Night Demons are no longer afraid of sunlight nowadays. However, truly formidable Night Demons usually reside near the Gates of Hell because they need to consume a vast number of souls to grow stronger. The Gates are constantly leaking out a large number of souls." "They gather souls during the day and release their essence at night to refine them," Duan Mie said. "Maybe there is a Dark Demon Emperor here, something that might even defeat the Ten Heaven Imperial if present. They are very strong in the darkness." Duan Mie's words startled Shen Xiang, who thought that powerful Night Demons might only surpass a powerhouse like Fei Bai Mountain. He never expected them to be on the same level as an emperor himself. Night Demons continuously stirred up chaos whenever dusk fell, and Mu Qiangxiang got used to the noisy sounds after hearing Shen Xiang's description before. However, she found them annoying. Duan Mie's ability to conceal his presence was strong as he was from the Duan clan, and he could help Shen Xiang and Mu Qiangxiang hide their presence without being detected by the Night Demons. After walking through the forest for over an hour, they suddenly heard a sharp howl echoing in the air. It sounded terrifying and caused strange silence among the surrounding Night Demons. "Look up towards the sky." Long Xueyi yelled. Shen Xiang and Mu Qiangxiang saw the sky, and they were both taken aback by what they witnessed. The full moon in the sky was surrounded by a thick silver vapor, and there seemed to be something devouring it. It was as if the moon's essence was being consumed by some horrifying speed. "Those are the old Demon Devils from Hell, only those close enough can witness such a phenomenon, meaning that there should be many Demon Kings nearby. They also absorb a small part of the energy given off, so we should leave as soon as possible." Guided by Duan Mie, neither Shen Xiang nor Mu Qiangxiang was targeted by the Night Demons as Duan Mie had abilities to prevent them from approaching. Duan Mie led Shen Xiang and Mu Qiangxiang through the night, not stopping until dawn. After Night Demons and strange sounds vanished, they slowed their pace as they were far away from the desolate land. "Now it's not that tense, I don't have to fear as long as I stay away from the Night Demon Heads of Hell. It's a relief that we're not in Hell at night, or else…" Duan Mie didn't continue his sentence, while Shen Xiang and Mu Qiangxiang could still feel their hearts pounding. "Senior Duan, what are your plans after leaving the Night Demon Land" Shen Xiang asked. "I'll visit some old places and maybe find important information left by my old friends." Duan Mie sighed, he had lived for so long that his friends' status was uncertain. The sky was now brightened, but only two hours had passed. During this time, they wouldn't hear the annoying sounds of Night Demons, making Mu Qiangxiang's mood much better. Although the land was filled with evil energy from Night Demons, she could still appreciate its beautiful scenery, especially the vast mountain range that filled her with awe. "Someone is coming! Maybe they're from the Imperial Dragon Clan," Duan Mie suddenly sensed. "They are from the Imperial Dragon Clan! They just arrived here, much slower than you!" Long Xueyi replied. Her soul was roaming around them, instantly alerting Shen Xiang to any dangerous presence nearby. "Should we greet them" Shen Xiang asked. "They will come regardless of your wishes! They already saw us!" Duan Mie explained, adding that they found them because the Imperial Dragon Clan had such people who could sense someone's presence in their surroundings. "The Phoenix Princess is also here! I didn't expect the Imperial Feather Clan to stay with them. They were supposed to eliminate the Phoenix Princess before!" Long Xueyi found it hard to understand as she knew that the Phoenix Princess had already talked with her father, the King of Phoenix. However, she was still in the Imperial Feather Clan's company now. "Shen Xiang! It really is you, I didn't expect you would arrive here too!" Several people appeared from Duan Mie's sudden appearance, destroying the surrounding trees and exposing Shen Xiang to the sun. They were surrounded by a group of people now. After seeing the Phoenix Princess, Shen Xiang quickly sent her his voice, asking anxiously, "Xueying! What's happening Why are you still with these people" "I told my father about this, but he doesn't want to fight the Imperial Dragon Clan here. I don't know his intentions." The Phoenix Princess hurriedly replied, then she asked, "Why are you here too Who's with you Our group should be in front and shouldn't take this long." "I'll tell you later, I only hope that the Imperial Feather Clan won't attack," Shen Xiang instructed. "Relax, my father promised me that he won't hurt you anymore and will only watch from the side now," said the Phoenix Princess. Mu Qiangxiang, with her curious eyes, looked at the people around them. Before this, Shen Xiang had told her stories about the Imperial Dragon Clan and Imperial Feather Clan. She quickly identified them as members of the Imperial Dragon Clan when she saw the Phoenix Princess, and since Shen Xiang had also described her beauty, Mu Qiangxiang could recognize it instantly. Duan Mie believed Mu Qiangxiang now, as she had previously mentioned that Shen Xiang was very powerful and famous outside. Seeing him surrounded by people, she understood immediately. "What's your business here Did you think Night Demon Land belongs to the Imperial Dragon Clan" laughed Shen Xiang. "You're still alive and managed to come this far, truly surprising me! You're not as weak as I imagined," he said. They hadn't reached the desolate land yet, but they were coming close soon. Shen Xiang didn't want to warn them about the catastrophic situation—originally, there were over ten thousand people accompanying him, but now only several thousand remained. "Shen Xiang! You can't escape anymore now; just hand over the object," said Ham Fen. Angry, he added that Shen Xiang had taken his Immortal Sword twice and severed his arm each time. Now his arm was fixed, but the anger within him couldn't fade away.aid bitterly.The middle-aged man in black armor beside him said, "We’re not followers of Mo Clan Supreme Demon Realm, so the demon god edicts aren’t useful for us."The demons of Demon Realm actually d...
