223: Don’t make the choice, be the questioner!
The directive to find the entrance to the Demon Realm was noticeably easier.
After expending five million mana, an arrow indicator successfully appeared before him.
Myriad Realms Kun flew at full speed and quickly reached its destination.
Upon landing, Chen Beixuan looked around with a puzzled expression.
The arrow was pointing correctly, but he couldn't see any sign of a spatial passage.
"The location is correct..."
"Demon Realm... connected to the Dark World..."
"Ah, that's right!"
He suddenly clapped his hands, remembering something!
The token he dropped yesterday when he killed Demon Lord Omicron in the Demon Realm, wasn't that the pass to the Dark World?
Thinking of this, he immediately rummaged through his backpack.
Before long, he pulled out a black hexagonal token.
Dark Pass Token: Special Item
Description: With this token, you can open the spatial passage in the Demon East Swamp and go to the Dark World.
— — — — — —
If he could go, he could return. Let's try it!
Chen Beixuan immediately held the token and searched for a passage nearby.
He didn't expect to actually find it!
The black token shot a black energy beam into the void, and in the blink of an eye, a five-meter-wide spatial passage formed.
Chen Beixuan's eyes lit up, he put away Myriad Realms Kun and walked inside.
Whoosh!
His vision changed, and the system prompt indicated he had entered the Demon Realm.
But the surrounding mist had not dispersed; it was still the same as in the Dark World.
The corners of his mouth turned up. "I found you..."
At the same time.
The Three Great Wizards in the Land of Darkness suddenly detected an abnormal light spot appear and immediately became alert!
"Someone is invading, at the passage entrance behind us!"
"This... how did he appear there? How did he get here?"
"The aura detection indicates a Human Clan member, but his identity cannot be determined. There's no such person among the Human Clan experts..."
"Besides us, the only one with a token is the spy we planted in the Demon Realm, Omicron, who was confirmed dead yesterday."
"So... he's the Human Clan member who killed Omicron? The one who destroyed Demon God City?"
“It’s highly likely. We need to find a way to lure him away. We absolutely cannot let him discover the location of the main hall!”
"The method we used against those two women before was good; let's stick with that!"
"Alright."
As the Three Great Wizards chanted spells, the mist outside began to change.
Before long, the mist parted to both sides, revealing a passage.
Seeing this, Chen Beixuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
They found him so quickly...
Are they trying to lure him away?
Or is it a trap?
But no matter which, for him, the result was the same.
Just steamroll through!
"Chaos Envoy!"
Waving his hand to form an army, he summoned 1090 Chaos Envoys to array in front, then unfurled his Mysterious Feathers and scattered them all, charging into the mist!
No matter if it's a trap or what, he'd turn everything upside down!
Just as he was leisurely summoning Chaos Envoys, the Three Great Wizards were all dumbfounded.
"He... he... why isn't he playing by the rules!"
...He's a summoner. This is troublesome. If this continues, he'll find this place sooner or later..."
"He was able to kill Omicron, so his strength is definitely not weak. Even sending the last Black Death Guard Captain would be difficult to deal with him."
"Report to the Lord of Darkness."
"Agreed."
"No objection."
The Three Great Wizards exchanged glances, all agreeing.
Thump, thump, thump!
The Great Wizard hastily knocked on the Lord of Darkness's door. After receiving permission, he pushed the door open and entered.
"Sir, this is bad! A Human Clan summoner has arrived outside. With a wave of his hand, he summoned thousands of strange sword-wielding creatures that are rampaging around the perimeter and could discover the location of the main hall at any moment."
"What?!"
Soul One's expression changed slightly, his heart filled with shock.
Strange sword-wielding creatures... thousands of them? Isn't that the method of a Chaos Mage?!
Shouldn't that guy be in the Dark World?
Thinking of this, he questioned in a deep voice.
"What does that Human Clan member look like? Is he wearing a Black Death Guard mask? Is he flickering with lightning?"
"Ah... yes, yes, yes, exactly as you described!" the Great Wizard quickly replied.
It's over!
Hearing the confirmed answer, Soul One's body trembled slightly, and his eyes were dazed.
It was all his fault. The current situation was entirely his fault!
If he hadn't sent 10 Black Death Guards to their deaths, he wouldn't be in a situation where he had no soldiers to use.
If he hadn't underestimated the Chaos Mage, he wouldn't have ended up with his physical body destroyed!
If only... if only...
But there's no going back in this world.
Making a decision means bearing the consequences!
Soul One took a deep breath from the Soul Orb, exhaling white residual energy, and his emotions stabilized.
"Pass on my command."
A resolute glint flashed in his eyes as he spoke with solemn seriousness.
"Destroy the main hall. Everyone evacuate immediately. Even if we die... we must lure him away from the Land of Darkness!"
The most important thing for maintaining the Black Curtain was the relic core, buried deep underground.
As long as the core could be preserved, it didn't matter if the main hall was destroyed.
"...Yes."
The Great Wizard trembled all over, his face ashen.
The Dark Clan, in a sense, were puppets, servants cultivated by the Darkness God. If their lord wanted them to die, they dared not disobey.
There was nothing in the main hall that needed protection. Once all the Dark Clan members had evacuated, the last Black Death Guard Captain decisively destroyed the main hall.
Rumble...
The crystal hall collapsed with a roar, and the ground vibrated.
Only a pile of dark crystal stone ruins remained, proving its past existence.
Soul One faced the crowd, his expression solemn.
"Depart!"
"Yes!"
Thousands of Dark Clan members answered in unison, then scattered and ran in all directions!
The tactic was simple: fish in troubled waters, disrupt everything.
As long as the opponent's attention shifted to them, the fleeing individuals, the plan would be half successful!
The rest depended on how the Chaos Mage would choose...
......
"Hmm?"
Chen Beixuan, who was in the middle of summoning Chaos Envoys, suddenly let out a surprised sound and stopped his actions.
Images transmitted back from multiple Chaos Envoys showed a large number of Dark Clan members, fleeing in all directions, some even carrying various boxes.
From the looks of it, they seemed to be... evacuating?
"Are they admitting defeat and deciding to take a gamble..."
Chen Beixuan narrowed his eyes and spoke softly.
Relic Core, just by the name, it didn't sound that simple.
And as the crucial energy core of the Black Curtain, would it be something that could be easily taken away?
However, just to be safe, he still issued a pursuit order.
Anyway, he had plenty of Chaos Envoys.
Pursuit and search, neither would be delayed. He wouldn't make a choice.
If he had to choose, he'd be the one setting the problem!
[Ding! You killed a Dark Assassin Lv90. Your mount gained...]
[Ding! You killed a Dark Ranger Lv90...]
......
Kill prompts rang out frequently!
The Chaos Envoys had a speed bonus from Mysterious Feathers and could cast long-range sword qi, easily catching up to the fleeing Dark Clan.
As expected, when the Chaos Envoys cut open the boxes, they were empty.
And some boxes contained scattered dark crystal stones, a mix of true and false.
But you still had to worry if they had hidden the real ones among the fakes.
This was an overt scheme.
"To hell with your overt scheme!"
Chaos · Earth Explosion Star, Range Expansion attribute fused!
100% bonus increased to 200%!
Maximum range increased from 10,000 meters to 15,000 meters!
