They formed a line, continually heading deeper into the forest.
The forest became more and more dense, giving off an oppressive feeling.
“Yun’er, do you feel cold?”
Upon hearing it, Ye Chen replied, “Wouldn’t be strange if you don’t feel cold now. Can you ensure her enough warmth right now? Do you want me to help, so we can provide warmth to each other?”
He Xibai glared at Ye Chen.
“Let’s move, don’t worry about me,” Guo Yuyun said.
“Don’t you have any better way to alert people in the Immortal and Demon Domains?” Ye Chen asked.
Yu Yun shook her head.
Suddenly, a cliff came into view. The exhausted guards shouted, “Hey, let’s take shelter in that canyon until the rain lightens up, then we can continue.”
Most people quickly agreed to the suggestion.
The lightning and thunder kept flashing and crackling in the sky.
The atmosphere here was stagnant, as dark as the night.
The muddy ground was unbearably uncomfortable for everyone.
“Has the person been brought?” the Demon King Gao Ba asked Xishan Gui, who was standing beside him.
“They have. There are more than two hundred strong men and three to four dozen children,” Xishan Gui replied.
“We weren’t discovered by anyone from the Immortal and Demon Domains, were we?”
“Rest assured, we’ve been very careful. They won’t discover us.”
Gao Ba said, “We can’t be careless. After all, the news that Earth Demon Island has been found has begun to spread. People from the Evil Domain have also appeared. They may try to figure out the location of the Earth Demon Island and send people here.”
Xishan Gui nodded and said, “As long as these people come, we can soon start. These people will find a way to dig through. It shouldn’t take too long.”
Gao Ba asked Yin Jue, who was standing next to him, “Have the explosives been prepared?”
“They were prepared when we brought people here this time. Don’t worry, everything is ready and sufficient,” Yin Jue responded.
Gao Ba continued, “We can’t be careless. We’ve attracted so many people from the Central Plains. It’s very likely that we have attracted their attention. We need to speed up and dig our way through quickly. Our primary task is to capture the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit.”
Xishan Gui nodded and said, “We will make quick work of it and save time.”
Gao Ba nodded and continued, “We had to fight so hard to buy ourselves some time. For us, time is incredibly precious. After all, people from Earth Demon Island and Immortal City know this. They will send people here sooner or later. So, we have to make haste. The most important thing is to open the Sealed Door before they arrive.”
Xishan Gui and Yin Jue both nodded.
Then Gao Ba said, “Yin Jue, be vigilant and keep an eye out. If people from the Immortal and Demon Domains come, we should be prepared.”
Understanding Gao Ba’s intentions, Yin Jue replied, “Rest assured, I will have people watching.”
Continuing, Gao Ba said, “As for the job of digging through the collapsed passage, I’ll leave that to Xishan Gui.”
“Alright, I’ll take responsibility for that. Just leave that part to me.”
“Once they arrive, we won’t have any chance. We can only dig through as quickly as possible before they arrive, so that we can obtain the Red Demonic Spirit and the Black Demonic Spirit,” said Gao Ba.
“Yes, I understand.”
Yin Jue reported, “It seems the folks from the Evil Domain have learned about our activities too. They have entered the Central Plains and almost killed Ren Xiongbei.”
“I don’t care what they’re up to as long as they don’t hinder our acquisition of the demonic spirits,” replied Gao Ba, who’d gone through countless hardships to crack the Mind-boggling Formation and find Earth Demon Island. He would not give up this opportunity.
At that moment, a voice came from outside, “We’ve brought them here.”
Gao Ba immediately stood up, and sure enough, a large crowd had started to gather below. A long line of people was pouring in through the rain.
Gao Ba said, “Xishan Gui, it’s up to you to find a way for these people to dig through as quickly as possible. However, we still need them for now. When people from the Immortal and Demon Domains arrive, they may prove useful.” These people could serve as hostages.
“Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
“Alright, go and arrange everything,” instructed Gao Ba, dismissing Xishan Gui and Yin Jue.
The rain showed no signs of stopping.
People from Immortal City had heard that a group of strong men and children had mysteriously disappeared on the coastline. The matter attracted the attention of Su Hong and Qiao Fanfeng.
Su Hong immediately gathered his forces, suspecting that the disappearance of these men and children might have something to do with Earth Demon Island.
It seemed that people from the Demon Domain had indeed found Earth Demon Island,” said Su Hong.
These words surprised Ren Xiongbei, who asked, “Sect Leader, why do you think so?”
Su Hong spread out the map and said, “Look here, many strong men and children have disappeared.” He pointed to a location near the coast and circled it.
Jiang Ouyang said, “Yes, what direct connection does this strong man and child have with Earth Demon Island?”
Su Hong explained, “Years ago, our ancestors defeated the Red and Black Demon King on Earth Demon Island, using up all their energy to break his fusion with the Red and Black Demonic Spirits. But we too were exhausted and many people died. Unable to subdue the Red and Black Demonic Spirits, we sealed off the cave to prevent them from escaping, and destroyed the tunnel leading to it. We also set up a huge enchantment, which caused Earth Demon Island to remain undiscovered for over a thousand years.”
Following Su Hong’s explanation, Qiao Fanfeng added, “If the people from the Demon Domain really broke the enchantment and found Earth Demon Island, they would have to break through the destroyed tunnel. To do so, they would need to find as many hardy miners as possible. Many miners have disappeared from this area recently.”
“True, a lot of miners have disappeared from this area, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they were taken to Earth Demon Island by the people from the Demon Domain.” Ren Xiongbei was still not convinced that the people from the Demon Domain had found Earth Demon Island.
Su Hong continued, “Most concerning is that many children in their early teens have also gone missing.”
“Why does this have to do with the teenagers?” Jiang Ouyang asked out of curiosity.
“Do you know how the Red and Black Demon King captured the Red and Black Demonic Spirits a thousand years ago?”
Qiao Fanfeng responded, “Children.”
Jiang Ouyang and Ren Xiongbei suddenly understood.
Su Hong continued, “The Red and Black Demon King used children as bait to catch the Red and Black Demonic Spirits. If Demon King Gao Ba really found Earth Demon Island, he would need the miners to reopen the tunnel and use children as bait to capture the Red and Black Demonic Spirits. Most crucially, these events are happening on this coastline. If our guess is correct, they have already found Earth Demon Island and have set off, and they may capture the spirits at any moment.”

After hearing this, Jiang Ouyang said, “If that’s the case, they may indeed have already found Earth Demon Island. We must figure out a way to stop them.”
Ren Xiongbei questioned, “But how do we know the exact location of Earth Demon Island?”
Su Hong replied, “Others may not know, but we of the Immortal City do.”
“That’s impossible.” Ren Xiongbei retorted.
“Though it was decided to destroy the directions back then, one of our ancestors recorded the route to Earth Demon Island and created a map, which has been preserved in the most confidential room of the Book Collection Pavilion.”
“Really? If that’s the case, that’s great! We should set off immediately to Earth Demon Island and prevent those from the Demon Domain from obtaining the Red and Black Demonic Spirits.” Jiang Ouyang suggested.
Su Hong glanced at Qiao Fanfeng and nodded.
Qiao Fanfeng said, “Sect Leader, why don’t I handle this?” He knew that Su Hong had a lot going on lately and hadn’t fully recovered from the incident with Ye Xue.
Ren Xiongbei added, “In that case, we should contact the Demon Palace, Heavenly City, and other sects as soon as possible to inform them of our suspicions and concerns.”
Su Hong nodded, “Alright, send messages to all sects in the demon and immortal domains, saying that the people from the Demon Domain might have found Earth Demon Island. Anyone willing to help should convene here and we will set off together. Brother Qiao, you lead our Immortal City disciples, and make haste to Earth Demon Island. Try to stop Gao Ba from obtaining the Red and Black Demonic Spirits and rescue those innocent people.”
Qiao Fanfeng quickly nodded his agreement.
“Eleventh disciple Wei Chiqing will assist you.”
Qiao Fanfeng reassured, “Don’t worry, I will do my best to stop them.”
“Alright then, get ready and set off early tomorrow morning. We cannot afford to waste any time. I believe the people from the Demon Domain must have already found Earth Demon Island, which means we don’t have much time left. You need to get there as fast as possible, otherwise we may be too late. Even if you reach Earth Demon Island, they could have possibly already escaped.”
Qiao Fanfeng nodded and left.
Jiang Ouyang asked, “What will happen if we can’t prevent Gao Ba from obtaining the Red and Black Demonic Spirits?”
“In the short term, nothing much might happen, but in a few years, the threat will be immense.”
Su Hong continued, “The Red and Black Demon King obtained the Red and Black Demonic Spirits to fight against us years ago. In a short amount of time, they equaled us in power. If he’s given more time, and if the fusion of the Red and Black Demon King is completed, our Taiji Qiankun Array might not be able to stop him.”
Upon hearing the gravity of the situation, Jiang Ouyang exclaimed, “We must stop them. How on earth did that damned Gao Ba find out about the whereabouts of Earth Demon Island?”
“Ah, there’s no point in delving into that now.” Su Hong also harbored suspicions.
Guo Mingyu immediately became alert upon receiving Su Hong’s letter. When Xia Yue also found out about it, she panicked, asking, “Could our daughter have been kidnapped as well?”
Guo Mingyu shook his head, “What are the odds?”
“Who says it can’t be a coincidence? Our daughter kept saying she wanted to visit the site and see that ancient city.” Xia Yue argued.
“Alright, don’t worry about this right now. I’m going there right away.” He prayed that his daughter would be safe.
Xia Yue became anxious again and said, “If what we fear is true and our daughter has been taken, isn’t she in great danger? They will use Yun’er as bait, and there’s no way the Red and Black Demonic Spirits would spare my daughter!”
“Ah, stop crying. Let’s deal with things as they happen.” Guo Mingyu then called Ling Jian, saying, “Quickly get your Uncle Lou Xuancheng in here.”
Xia Yue stated, “I want to go too.”
“Not a chance. You stay in Immortal City. Who knows what we might encounter during the journey with those from the Evil Domain still in the Central Plains. Stay home, and if Yun’er really is there, I promise I will do everything I can to bring her back.”
“What plan do you have to bring her back safely?”
“Even if it costs me my life, I will bring her back. Does that sound better?”
Yu Qing said, “Mother, you shouldn’t distract father.”
“Shut off! Don’t think that the Demon Palace is yours now that something might have happened to Yun’er.”
Guo Mingyu said, “Could you calm down and think about finding Yun’er?”
