Chapter 2375: Fear Demon

“It really is you.”

The War Demon angrily charged forward, while Dada and Xue Keke stared at the War Demon in shock.

Previously, Dada and Xue Keke had followed Yigen and Xue Keke, leaving the Underground Maze for the Demon Abyss Sea.

He was quite familiar with the humans of the Taoyuan World. This appearance certainly wasn’t of the Taoyuan World humans; it was likely an illusion by the Demon Clan transforming into human form.

“Capture him alive; the young master definitely likes this type of slave, and I imagine his blood is very delicious too.”

Dada and Xue Keke laughed, leading the charge forward.

The War Demon was skilled in combat, but the disparity in strength was evident. Dada and Xue Keke knocked the War Demon to the ground in just two moves, and as they were about to capture him, a green net bound the War Demon’s body.

A black mist enveloped the area, and the War Demon vanished from sight.

Dada and Xue Keke’s faces turned sour. He looked around but saw no one, his gaze resting on a severed arm not far away. He snorted coldly, “Take the severed arm and hand it over to the young master.”

“Yes, Lord Dada.”

A few slaves nodded quickly and stepped forward to pick up the severed arm.

The War Demon’s sight was engulfed by the black mist, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a powerful demon standing beside him.

This demon wasn’t the Eight-Armed Demon nor the Spiky War Demon, who was closely related to the Eight-Armed Demon, but rather a demon clad in black armor, with two sharp horns on his head.

The War Demon knew this type of demon was called the Fear Demon.

Though called Fear Demon, it’s a type of Inferior Demon known to have a bloodline much superior to regular Inferior Demons.

Thus, Fear Demons easily cultivate into formidable demons. However, the Fear Demon once followed the Fear Demon Monarch and perished in the Taoyuan World.

There are few Fear Demons left in the Demon Abyss. Judging by his appearance, he didn’t seem like a subordinate of the Frost Wolf Great Lord.

“How did you end up in the Underground Maze? Tell me, whose subordinate are you?”

A raspy voice emanated from the Fear Demon’s mouth.

The pressure made the War Demon shiver. The factions within the Demon Abyss also engaged in battles, which were more brutal.

This Fear Demon saved him from those masked men; however, he might also end up as his meal.

“My lord, I am a subordinate of the Frost Wolf Great Lord, who is stationed at a nearby base. This time, we are ordered to invade the Taoyuan World to avenge those clan members who perished there. I fell into those guys’ trap while chasing the enemy.”

The War Demon shivered slightly as he looked at the Fear Demon.

The Fear Demon pondered his words for a long time, finally exhaling deeply, “I see. You have been unconscious for days. I healed your wounds. My clansmen, take me to see the Frost Wolf Great Lord; I have matters to discuss with him.”

“Sure, sure. My lord, the Great Lord will surely be very pleased to see you.”

The War Demon was elated upon hearing the Fear Demon’s words.

Bringing a demon back would undoubtedly excite the Great Lord and the leaders.

Cong Shuai followed behind the War Demon, walking through the tunnel previously dug by Ying Chou.

The War Demon was captured by Ying Chou, who had agreed with Mountain Ghost Granny after capturing the War Demon, decisively requesting Cong Shuai back from Lu Gou.

For the sake of infiltrating the enemy’s conspiracy, Mountain Ghost Granny, Guo Cunhou, and Lu Gou personally went to meet Tang Ming.

After much planning, they decided on a feasible approach: letting the Blood Ancestor Divine Sect clash with the Demon Abyss folks, which provided a chance for the Taoyuan World to ease its tensions.

However, the Demon Abyss Sea seemed to be turning into a battlefield, so Tang Ming decided, upon returning to West Continent City, to create a seaside fortress on the coastline of the Spirit Tree Plains.

The Eight-Armed Demon and Spiky Demon returned to the outer camp but did not see any War Demons returning.

This made the Eight-Armed Demon a bit regretful for sending only one War Demon, as they could still locate the entrance to the tunnel now. But surely, the opposite side would be prepared, so the Spiky Demon advised the Eight-Armed Demon to investigate the area.

However, direction and intellect indeed posed a big problem; over the past few days, the Spiky Demon personally led the search but still couldn’t find the entrance to the Blood God’s Plane base.

Actually, the Spiky Demon was unaware that after Yigen and Xue Keke tasted the War Demon’s arm blood, they discovered its power wasn’t birthed from the Taoyuan World.

In the Underground Maze, other planar powerhouses had appeared, and those planar powerhouses seemed strong, at least in bloodline strength, equaling the main Slave Clan members of the Xue Keke Clan.

These primary Slave Clan members, as the core of Xue Keke Clan, played a crucial role in combat.

Bonand and Xue Keke took too many people; the rear of the Underground Maze was empty, putting Yigen at risk once an actual fight ensued.

Thus, Yigen ordered his subordinates to tightly shut the stone door, sent a letter to Bonand, and informed the Family, awaiting reinforcements.

Several times, the Spiky Demon and the Eight-Armed Demon passed by the entrance of the Xue Keke Clan base but couldn’t discover the secret of that base entrance.

“What do we do? Why can’t we find out anything? The Great Lord has inquired two or three times already. If we fail again, both of us won’t have a good ending.”

The Eight-Armed Demon angrily looked at the Spiky Demon, whom he trusted initially for proposing this opportunity to achieve merit.

But now, the Spiky Demon had led him down a rough path.

“Chief, Chief. Number Seventeen has returned.”

A War Demon burst through the door, running in panicked from outside.

The Eight-Armed Demon and Spiky Demon both stood up, “What? Number Seventeen is back?”

“Wait, did he return alone or with someone? Eight-Armed, don’t be too hasty; there might be a trap.”

The Spiky Demon’s eyebrows furrowed, his spikes sparkling brightly, indicating he’d thought of something.

“Even if there’s a trap, we must investigate. This is our base; even if there is a trap, what’s there to fear?”

The Eight-Armed Demon snorted, directly following the reporting War Demon outside.

The Spiky Demon stomped his foot, then looked at the two sidekicks beside him, “Go, inform the Five Heads and the Great Lord. Tell them there’s a lead on the Blood God’s Plane matter.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The sidekick nodded and sprinted towards the depths of the base.

The Spiky Demon took a deep breath, pursuing in the direction the Eight-Armed Demon had left.

Reaching the base entrance, the Eight-Armed Demon and his followers stood there. In their midst was an elegantly armored Fear Demon, with two bent horns on his head.
