Chapter 514: The North of the Demon Realm

With the energy impact brought by the collapse of the stone platform, the hall was in chaos.

Fang Yue took advantage of this perfect opportunity, his figure flashed, and he turned into a stream of light and swept towards the edge of the hall.

He was extremely fast, shuttling like a ghost in the smoke and chaos. Those monsters who had not yet recovered from the shock could not catch his trace at all.

The rescued monsters saw the direction Fang Yue left, and began to cover him with understanding.

They cooperated with each other and performed various magic. For a time, the light and smoke intertwined, making the already chaotic scene even more elusive.

Fang Yue quickly came to the exit of the hall. He looked back at the messy battlefield, and a complex look flashed in his eyes.

Although the battle here temporarily prevented the monsters from destroying the seal, he knew that the ambitions within the monsters would not be extinguished, and the future situation would still be grim.

However, he had more important things to do at the moment.

He turned around and stepped out of the hall without hesitation. The outside world was still filled with mysterious mist.

Relying on his keen perception, Fang Yue ran towards a secret direction.

He knew that he had become a thorn in the eyes of the demons in this incident, and he had to find a safe place to hide as soon as possible, while planning the next move.

In the border valley, the reconnaissance team led by Su Yao began to explore the valley more deeply after defeating the giant monster.

They moved forward cautiously, alert to new dangers that might arise.

At this time, the valley was filled with a mysterious atmosphere, as if countless eyes were peeping at them in the dark.

"Everyone be vigilant, the situation here is very wrong."

Su Yao whispered, she clenched the spear in her hand, and the black blood of the giant monster still remained on the tip of the spear.

The soldiers nodded one after another, and they each exerted their vitality and were ready to fight at any time.

In the cave of the demon clan's forbidden land, General Li and the soldiers were relieved after successfully repelling the demon spirit.

But General Li's physical condition was not optimistic. He was pale and almost unstable.

"General, you should take a rest first." A soldier said with concern.

General Li waved his hand: "No, we will continue to study the seal. This time the demon attack shows that there is a huge secret behind this seal. We can't let it be threatened again."

The soldiers immediately re-investigated around the vortex of vitality and the ancient seal. They knew that they had a heavy responsibility.

Fang Yue ran quickly in the fog. He deliberately avoided the paths where the demons might appear, and chose some remote and hidden paths to move forward.

Along the way, he kept an eye on the movements around him, and his demon power was also running secretly to prevent possible emergencies.

After running for an unknown period of time, Fang Yue came to a quiet valley.

The valley was lush with vegetation, a clear stream was gurgling, and some unknown exotic flowers were blooming by the stream, exuding a faint fragrance.

The fluctuations of vitality here were relatively peaceful, and it seemed to be a good place to hide temporarily.

Fang Yue found a hidden cave in the valley. He first set up some simple early warning prohibitions at the entrance of the cave, so that if other creatures approached, they could be detected in time.

Then, he entered the cave, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to recuperate the demon power he had consumed in the previous battle.

At the same time, the main city of the demon clan fell into an uproar and agitation. The news about the destruction of the stone platform and the death of many elders swept the entire city like a gust of wind.

The streets and alleys of the demon clan were full of discussions, and ordinary demons showed fear and anxiety. Their originally peaceful life was broken by this sudden change.

Some demons were worried that this would trigger revenge from the human race or other forces, while others were confused about the future. After all, the decisions and actions of the elders represented the direction of the demon clan to a certain extent. Now that most of the elders were lost, the demon clan seemed to have lost their direction.

In the palace of the main city of the demon clan, the atmosphere was as depressing as the dullness before the storm.

The remaining demon clan leaders looked gloomy. They sat around a huge stone table and discussed the follow-up of this incident.

"Fang Yue must die! He destroyed our plan and killed many elders. If this revenge is not avenged, where is the dignity of our demon clan!"

A demon clan strongman in a gorgeous black robe angrily slammed the table, with hatred flashing in his eyes.

"Humph, the top priority is to stabilize the situation in the city first and not let the panic continue to spread. Moreover, we also need to re-examine the plan of breaking the seal. Is it really worth such a huge price for us to pay."

Another more rational demon clan leader frowned and said.

"Stabilizing the situation is important, but Fang Yue must not be let go. We can issue a bounty and mobilize the power of the whole clan to find him. Whether he is dead or alive, he must be brought to us." Another senior leader made a suggestion.

Everyone nodded, and then, one order after another was transmitted from the palace of the demon clan main city to every corner.

Soon, the entire demon tribe knew about the bounty on Fang Yue, and countless demons began to stir and prepare to embark on the journey to find Fang Yue. A storm against Fang Yue quietly rose within the demon tribe.

Under the influence of this bounty trend, every corner of the demon tribe was boiling.

Those idle demons, adventurers who were eager for wealth and fame, and radicals who hated the human race all regarded Fang Yue as their target.

In the market and in the tavern, there were voices discussing Fang Yue's bounty everywhere.

The bounty notice was posted in every conspicuous place in the main city of the demon clan, which described in detail Fang Yue's appearance, the demon sword he used, and the general direction where he disappeared.

Some demons gathered in front of the notice, with greed and excitement in their eyes, exchanging clues they knew or guessing where Fang Yue might be hiding.

In the forests and mountains around the main city of the demon clan, many demons also began to take action. They searched along the route that Fang Yue might have passed, not letting go of any suspicious traces.

Some demons who were good at tracking carefully checked the ground, grass and branches, trying to find clues left by Fang Yue; some demons with special magic used their abilities to sense the surrounding atmosphere, hoping to capture the remaining demon power fluctuations of Fang Yue.

Outside the quiet valley where Fang Yue was hiding, there were also several demon teams wandering nearby.

Some of them came here by accident, while others relied on their keen intuition to detect that this valley was a little unusual.

However, due to the clever warning ban set by Fang Yue, these monsters have not yet discovered the secrets in the valley. ~~~~~~

A month later, Fang Yue was in a cave in a quiet valley, and his monster power had recovered to its peak.

His eyes flashed with determination and wisdom. Obviously, during this period of seclusion, he not only recovered his strength, but also had a clearer plan for future actions.

He slowly stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave, looked at the still mysterious fog outside, and thought to himself:

"The monsters' bounty on me is still valid, but hiding is not a long-term solution. I need to find more allies to fight against those monster scums who want to destroy peace."

"The monsters I rescued last time should not be the same as the monsters who are trying to attack the human world now. These monsters may become allies!"

Fang Yue thought of this and decided to find the monsters he rescued last time. Relying on his memory, he rushed to the general direction where the previous rescue operation took place.

Along the way, he remained vigilant. After all, the situation within the demon clan was now in chaos, and no one knew what would happen on the way. Sometimes he hid his body and shuttled through the clouds, and sometimes he moved forward quickly with the cover of dense woods.

Finally, Fang Yue came to the place where the demon clan was rescued last time. This used to be a battlefield. Although some time has passed, some traces of fighting can still be seen. Fang Yue began to look for possible hiding places for the demon clan in the surrounding area.

Not long after, he found some clues. In the depths of a hidden valley, there was a faint fluctuation of demon power. Fang Yue approached carefully. When he was about to approach the entrance of the valley, several figures suddenly jumped out of the woods next to him. They were the demon clan he rescued last time.

When they saw Fang Yue, they were stunned at first, and then a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

"Master Fang Yue, it's really you!" A demon clan member said excitedly.

Fang Yue smiled slightly: "It's me. I came here this time to discuss an important matter with you. Now the situation within the demon clan is becoming more and more chaotic. Those demon clan scums who attempt to destroy the seal and provoke disputes are becoming more and more rampant. I want to unite all the forces that can be united to fight against them and protect peace. I wonder if you are willing to join me?"

The demon clans looked at each other, and a trace of determination flashed in their eyes.

"Lord Fang Yue, you saved us last time, and we have always wanted to find a chance to repay you. And we can't stand what those guys did, and we have long wanted to stop them. We are willing to join you!" One of the demon clans who seemed to be the leader said firmly.

Fang Yue was delighted. With the addition of these demon clans, his strength has grown a little bit.

"However, Lord Fang Yue, although we are willing, our strength is limited, and we may not be able to help much." The leading demon clan said with some concern.

Fang Yue waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, every bit of strength is important. And we can continue to look for other like-minded allies. As long as we unite as one, we have a chance to change the status quo."

In the border valley, Su Yao led the reconnaissance team after a hard fight and finally succeeded in subduing the giant beast.

But the team members were exhausted and many were injured. Su Yao knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he decided to lead the team back to the camp to rest.

In the cave of the demon clan's forbidden land, General Li and the soldiers successfully cracked the trap and continued to move towards the ancient ruins.

On the way, they encountered some ancient formations and mechanisms. Although they were safe, they also consumed a lot of time and energy.

When Su Yao led the team back to the camp, he unexpectedly met General Li and his party.

Both sides were very vigilant at first. After all, in this complex situation, any encounter may be hidden.

But when Su Yao saw General Li's clothing and logo, he let down his guard.

"Are you General Li's team?" Su Yao asked.

General Li stepped forward: "Yes, who are you?"

Su Yao revealed her identity and briefly described their experience in the border valley.

General Li frowned after hearing this: "It seems that there are more unstable factors around here than we thought. We also encountered many difficulties in this forbidden area, and all of this seems to be related to the seal."

After the two sides communicated, they realized that the information they had might be able to piece together a more complete picture of the situation.

Su Yao described in detail the abnormal situation of the giant beast in the border valley, including the strange abilities displayed by the giant beast and the changes in the vitality fluctuations in the surrounding environment.

General Li listened carefully and nodded from time to time. Then he also shared the possible connection between the ancient formations and mechanisms found in the forbidden area and the seal.

Those formations seemed to be designed to protect the seal, but as time passed, some of them have shown signs of instability, perhaps due to interference from external factors.

"We must find a way to deal with it as soon as possible," Su Yao said with a firm look, "We can't let these unstable factors continue to spread, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

General Li agreed: "Yes, we need to integrate resources and study together. Perhaps we can start with the abnormal vitality fluctuations you encountered in the border valley to see if we can find clues related to the seal."

So they decided to find a safe place nearby as a temporary base.

After searching, they found a natural cave in a hidden corner of the valley. There was a natural barrier formed by the gathering of vitality around the cave, which could resist foreign enemies to a certain extent.

After entering the cave, they began to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the intelligence they had.

The soldiers took out the formation diagrams and mechanism structure diagrams recorded in the forbidden area, and Su Yao's soldiers described the characteristics of the vitality fluctuations when the giant beast attacked.

Everyone worked together to try to find the connection between the two.

In the main city of the demon clan, the enthusiasm for rewarding Fang Yue has not diminished at all, but has intensified.

In order to obtain more clues, some demons began to interrogate the demons who had contact with Fang Yue, which made the atmosphere in the city more tense.

Many innocent demons were implicated and lived in fear.

On Fang Yue's side, he continued to rush with the newly joined demons.

On the way, they found that more and more demons were gathering towards the north. These demons had different expressions, some were excited, and some were nervous.

As Fang Yue led the newly joined demons to continue to explore in depth, they gradually realized that this gathering was not accidental.

In the northern sky, the demon aura became more and more dense, and it seemed that some major event was about to happen.

"It seems that a big storm is brewing inside the demon clan." Fang Yue frowned and looked into the distance with deep eyes.

The demon members around him also looked solemn. They knew that this storm was probably related to the seal. Once the seal was broken, the balance between the demon world and the human world would be completely broken, bringing endless disasters. (End of this chapter)
