172: Chapter 172 Planning

Recently, the interior of the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons has been in a state of turmoil.

Endless Devilish Qi from underground erupted continuously, and some areas became shrouded in this Devilish Qi.

This Devilish Qi was not the ordinary, common variety that could be used to Cultivate.

It was Ancient Devilish Qi!

For beings like them who had stayed in the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons for a long time and were accustomed to absorbing blood-evil Devilish Qi, it was still akin to poison.

What was even more frustrating was that they had recently acquired a territory that was extremely suitable for Cultivation.

However, after their boss clashed with the other party, she ultimately chose to retreat.

Ask yourself, having crossed the majestic expanse of a hundred mountain ranges, how could they just give up so easily?

Water Demon Scale found it hard to believe.

But the reality before her indicated that this matter was by no means ordinary.

"Has Skeleton not returned yet?" In an instant, the pressure of her Peak Body Integration Stage cultivation surged forth.

"Reporting to Lord Demon Scale, King Skeleton has not sent any news yet."

"That shouldn't be. He only went to the periphery to retrieve that item for you, My Lord."

"According to the information provided by you, My Lord, and the detailed location of the item, he shouldn't have encountered much trouble as long as he didn't trigger the traps."

"Even if he encountered some trouble, he could have resolved it invisibly, or even taken the initiative to attack."

"But now, all contact has been lost!"

"If that's the case, either he found the item and fled far away with it."

"Or he was Sealed or killed by someone else, thus cutting off his means of communicating with the outside world."

"But regardless of which it is, it means that the items he obtained will drift further and further away from you, My Lord."

"From now on, send people to follow the tracks Skeleton left behind and investigate them one by one."

"As long as you find Skeleton, or the item being sought."

"You will all be credited with a great achievement, and there will definitely be rewards."

"Your subordinate obeys."

A strange and treacherous storm of events quickly blew from the inner edges of the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons toward the periphery.

On the other side, with the White Empress as their guide who was familiar with the conditions of the periphery, Gu Qingge and his group did not take many detours and arrived directly at the outer zone of the Spring of Ten Thousand Demons.

The reason they did not go in directly was mainly because both the White Empress and Gu Qingge had detected abnormal phenomena in this place!

Someone had laid out a plan here in advance.

Among those hidden and unopened Restrictions, some were for attacking and killing, some for immediate detonation, and others for inflicting curses, which would cause pain for the rest of one's life.

No matter which Restriction fell upon one, it would cause their combat power to be greatly reduced.

Especially in the current Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons, a massive crisis was brewing in the periphery.

This crisis not only attracted the attention of many parties, but the life-and-death struggles were also extremely decisive and desperate.

"Then what should we do now?" Gu Qingge asked.

"One word: wait." The White Empress said with firm, beautiful eyes.

"Wait?"

He looked at the White Empress, who appeared calm and composed, showing no concern for the monsters and demons guarding the Spring of Ten Thousand Demons.

He couldn't help but feel a bit more confident.

In that case, perhaps she really did have some means at her disposal to make powerful experts fall.

However, Gu Qingge would never place all his hopes on others.

"Very soon, we just need to wait for those Yao Beasts in the distance to invade this place, and it can be completed smoothly."

"What? Yao Beasts? Where are the Yao..."

Suddenly, when he released his Divine Sense to perceive the surrounding situation, he discovered that not far away, there were indeed three Qilin of different colors pulling a giant carriage.

Using Qilin to pull a carriage?

The other party's status must be extremely noble.

And the reason they appeared here was very likely because of the strange properties of the Spring of Ten Thousand Demons, which led them to enter the periphery.

What was even more terrifying was that beneath this carriage, there were countless Yao Beasts rushing and charging.

"Looking at it roughly, they look like a tough nut to crack."

"So, are you afraid?" The White Empress extended her slender, jade-like finger and tapped Gu Qingge's left chest.

"How could I be?"

"Faced with life and profit, most people usually choose life."

"But I, I only choose profit."

"Furthermore, I believe that I possess even greater strength and potential."

"I am about to display the chilling feeling of someone waiting for death."

"Young Lord, we will soon reach the thing you have been so desperately seeking."

A scantily clad, sexy and charming bunny girl extended her soft, jade-like hands to massage the body of this cold and ruthless man.

Gradually, the handsome and refined man swept his gaze into the distance, eventually fixing on a corner of the sky.

"Hmm? Why are there so few people brought by them this time?"

Since he appeared here, it meant that other noble families had also received the news.

"But it doesn't matter. Killing one is killing, and killing a group is also killing."

"Daring to give me the feeling of insubordination is simply courting death."

Everything he blurted out was filled with unquestionable, overbearing words.

If the arrogance of an ordinary person is self-humiliation.

Then his arrogance was instead a means to achieve his goals by any means necessary.

Moreover, he possessed another identity, which was the fundamental power he truly relied upon.

His true identity was the Young Clan Chief of the Ink Jade Qilin clan.

This also well explained the reason why he could use low-grade Bloodline Qilin to pull his carriage.

Gu Qingge was already aware of these uninvited guests.

If he had enough strength, he would definitely slaughter everyone in all directions.

But the current actual situation did not allow him to do so.

As such, he could only settle his mind and quietly wait for a good opportunity to present itself.

"How about we play a big one?" The White Empress blinked her beautiful eyes frequently, having already formed a plan in her heart.

"The Spring of Ten Thousand Demons has the ability to devour blood Qi, Killing Intent, and Devilish Qi."

"I believe that as long as we plan well, everything is possible!"
