Chapter 429: Demon Abyss Counterattack

Gou Guangming who had wanted to say something as soon as Lu Wuchen began assigning people did not even have time to speak. Before he knew it, events had developed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, Sect Master Lu had already obtained everyone’s agreement, stirred up their emotions, assigned the missions, and arranged the personnel.

Gou Guangming could only swallow the words he had wanted to say and watch as everyone immediately split up and began carrying out their respective tasks.

Uh! He thought bitterly, Why won’t they give me a chance to speak? I know a lot about the Demon Abyss Clan! The protagonist destroyed more than just one or two Demon Abyss Realms. He wiped out countless Demon Abyss Realms of all sizes, and the original story contains plenty of information about the Demon Abyss Clan. I could provide them with a huge amount of intelligence right now! Sigh! They all left before I even had the chance to say anything.

Just then, Gou Guangyan suddenly patted the shoulder of Gou Guangming, who had been standing there with a troubled expression. Looking into the distance with a solemn expression, he said, "Enough! Stop making that strange face and prepare for battle!"

Hearing this, Gou Guangming followed his elder brother’s gaze and suddenly realized that Sect Master Lu Wuchen of the Holy Sword Sect might actually have the potential to be a jinx.

He had just said that the Demon Abyss Clan could launch a counterattack at any moment. He had barely left with his people, and the Demon Abyss Clan immediately launched their counterattack.

This really was going to be the death of him!

How could they have come so quickly.

While complaining inwardly, he began changing the magic treasures he was using.

Fortunately, ever since learning that he had transmigrated into a book, he had continuously prepared for the future.

Although his plan to save the protagonist and make the protagonist owe him a life-saving favor had failed, he had still successfully latched onto the protagonist’s powerful backing.

Now, another one of his preparations was finally coming into play.

The attributes of this magic treasure were a perfect counter to the Demon Abyss Clan’s attributes.

Today was finally the day he would show off his prowess and save the Heaven Origin Realm.

"Hahaha... You Demon Abyss Clan bastards, your Grandpa Gou is here!"

Gou Guangming let out a wildly over-the-top, chuunibyou-style laugh and charged toward the Demon Abyss Clan members who were rushing forward to counterattack.

Everyone could not help looking at him as though there was something seriously wrong with this person.

"Guangming... Sigh!" Gou Guangyan shouted as he hurried after him.

Seeing the two of them take the lead, the cultivators who had formed their battle formation immediately followed.

Xiao Shou saw that in the distant demonic aura, which had originally been surrounded and burned by the black flames, several small figures had suddenly been thrown inside.

When those small figures landed in the flames without suffering the slightest damage, the demonic aura, which appeared to have already shrunk considerably, suddenly erupted with countless demonic shadows.

Each one carried monstrous demonic aura as they rapidly charged toward them.

The cultivators on their side also rushed forward, each wrapped in defensive spiritual light of various colors. In an instant, the two sides clashed, producing earth-shaking sounds of battle.

Xiao Shou could not help sighing. "What a coincidence. Sect Master Lu had just led the experts away, and they immediately launched a counterattack."

"Too much of a coincidence..." Fu Young said meaningfully while standing beside Xiao Shou.

Seeing this, Xiao Shou reached out and tapped his forehead with a finger, then transmitted his voice to him. "Young’er, what did you figure out? Hurry up and tell me."

"I was just thinking that if it were me, compared to infiltrating and conquering other places, transforming the World Stone into a Demon Realm Stone would be the truly important matter. So I would naturally be much more cautious about it. At the very least, when triggering the demonic aura mutation, I would have to observe the reaction of those guarding the World Stone."

Fu Young rubbed his forehead and looked seriously at Xiao Shou as he transmitted his voice.

Hearing this, Xiao Shou froze before immediately understanding. "Are you saying there is an infiltrator among these people who is colluding with the Demon Abyss Clan? But my flame did not react!"

"Being an infiltrator does not necessarily mean being burdened by heavy sins. Besides, it could also be a member of the Demon Abyss Clan disguised through appearance-altering techniques, or someone carrying a treasure capable of concealing their aura. In short, there are many possibilities."

Fu Young blinked his eyes and continued confidently, "However, I can tell from their actions that the relationship between the Demon Abyss Clan and their collaborators is not particularly close. There is not much trust between them."

After spending several years together as master and disciple, Xiao Shou understood his beloved disciple very well. The moment he saw Fu Young wearing that expression that said everything was under control, he knew he was extremely confident in his analysis.

But... His beloved disciple was simply too clever. He could spot the problem at a glance, while he had not found the key point at all, much less noticed any hidden intelligence.

He could only humbly ask him for guidance and give him an ingratiating smile.

"Good Young’er, don’t keep me in suspense. Hurry up and tell me everything you’ve observed!"

"Heh... Master, really..."

Seeing his master’s flattering smile, Fu Young felt as though there was no way he could hide anything from him.

He immediately transmitted his guesses and conclusions to Xiao Shou.

"I think this is what happened. Since there is an infiltrator here, the information you mentioned earlier about your fox flame must have leaked. So they would certainly have received intelligence saying that your flame is ineffective against the Demon Abyss Clan. But even with that information, the Demon Abyss Clan still threw some of their own people out to test whether the information was true before launching their attack. This alone proves that the Demon Abyss Clan does not fully trust their collaborators."
