Chapter 6948 Scheme

As soon as Long Chen and the others stepped through the black gate, they were met with loud roars. Countless devils rushed at them.

Seeing this, Yan Li shouted in surprise, “So many devils!”

“Begone!”

Yue Xiaoqian made a one-handed seal. A ripple spread out, and the devils vanished at once. A primordial aura swept over them. Now, they could see endless mountains, plains, and rivers stretching into the distance.

Yan Li was baffled. “Just now...?”

“It was an illusion,” Chi Yutong explained. “The devil qi here is very strong. If you’re nervous, weak-willed, or your soul is hurt, the devil qi will make you see things that aren’t real. That’s why this place is called the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm. You have to stay alert here and avoid getting hurt, especially in your spirit.”

Yan Li felt embarrassed right away. He was the only one who had shouted, while everyone else stayed calm.

Chi Yutong looked at Long Chen and said, “Big brother Long Chen, the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm might be dangerous, but it is also filled with opportunity. We can search for treasures as we head for the heart of the realm. After all, we can only enter stealthily to avoid disturbing the Dark Feather Blaze Devil.”

Chi Yutong was careful not to call Long Chen by his name now that Yue Xiaoqian was with them to avoid any misunderstandings.

Long Chen smiled and rubbed Chi Yutong’s head.

“Now that your big sister Xiaoqian is here, there’s no need for us to sneak around. As long as you’re with your big sister Xiaoqian, you can go wherever you want in the Devil Suppressing Illusion realm!”

Chi Yutong felt nervous when Long Chen treated her so warmly in front of Yue Xiaoqian. But then Yue Xiaoqian took her hand and smiled.

Yue Xiaoqian said, “Little sister, don’t underestimate me. I’m very strong, especially here!”

Seeing Yue Xiaoqian’s warm smile and kindness, Chi Yutong suddenly felt ashamed of her own thoughts. Long Chen had always treated her like a little sister, and that had never changed. She realized she had been overthinking everything.

Xin Yu immediately raised her hand.

“Then I want to come with big sister Xiaoqian too!” exclaimed Xin Yu.

With a smile, Yue Xiaoqian held Xin Yu’s hand as well.

“Alright, then we can form an alliance!”

Xin Yu was excited. “Yes! Big sister, if you’re this strong, we can openly scavenge for treasure. This is a battlefield of the primal chaos era. Countless experts have died here, so there are countless treasures to be found.”

Long Chen shook his head and said, “We don’t have much time. We’ll go straight to the center of the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm to face the Dark Feather Blaze Devil. Until we get there, we’ll use the time to get used to the auras and rules here.”

Looking at Zi Nuo, Long Chen asked, “Do you sense it?”

Zi Nuo nodded.

He replied, “I can sense the Wine God’s Sword Dao will. It is coming from the depths of the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm. However, when I entered, I felt a quiver in my soul. The Dark Feather Blaze Devil should have sensed me as well.”

The Wine God Palace’s disciples grew alert and put their hands on their swords. They could already sense the danger, and it made them ready to fight.

“The Dark Feather Blaze Devil knows we’re here?” Xin Yu turned pale, no longer thinking of the treasures.

“Don’t worry, your big brother Long Chen is here too. Who cares about some Dark Feather Blaze Devil,” comforted Yue Xiaoqian.

Yue Xiaoqian smiled sweetly. With her confidence in Long Chen, she was not worried at all.

Long Chen added, “Everyone, don’t worry. I wouldn’t do this if I wasn’t sure. We already have an escape route ready. Even if we can’t win, we can get away safely. Think of this as a test. Our main goal isn’t to kill the Dark Feather Blaze Devil, but if we can, that would be great. If we do, everything in the Devil Suppressing Illusion Realm will belong to us! All the treasures... hehehe!”

“We have to kill the Dark Feather Blaze Devil no matter what!” Xin Yu shouted, her eyes glowing.

Her excited expression made Yue Xiaoqian, Chi Yutong, and the others laugh. Their fear disappeared, replaced by a strong fighting spirit.

Then, with a serious tone, Long Chen said, “First, let me explain our strategy...”

To keep things safe, Long Chen shared their plan to counter the Dark Feather Blaze Devil via spiritual communication. Soon, everyone nodded in agreement.

“Let’s go!”

Long Chen led the way, wasting no time.

Suddenly, the ground beneath them exploded, and terrifying devil qi burst out. Some kind of devil creature was coming up.

But Long Chen and the others moved so quickly that they were already gone by the time the devil creatures appeared.

“There are such terrifying devils right at the entrance!” Yan Li exclaimed, badly frightened.

Even though those devil creatures were in the Sovereign Lord realm, their auras were much stronger than the devils they had hunted near the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture. They were on a whole different level.

“Now that the divine capital has been exposed, I won’t hide it from you anymore. The outsider devils you hunt near the Heavenly Magnificence Divine Prefecture are actually part of a scheme,” Long Chen said.

“A scheme?” Chi Yutong, Yan Li, and Xin Yu were stunned.

“Those devils aren’t strong or smart. Yet you keep hunting them, and their numbers never go down. Why do they stay? Why don’t they run away?” Long Chen asked.

Their eyes widened. They had never thought about it before. Even if the devils weren’t smart, they should at least have some instinct to survive.

Even wild beasts had those instincts. If they were hunted, they knew the place wasn’t safe and would move somewhere else.

But the devils they hunted didn’t do that. Even after all these years of hunting them, their numbers never went down. In fact, more and more kept showing up.

Long Chen said, “If I’m right, the leaders of the outsider devils put them there on purpose.”

“Then what is their goal?” Chi Yutong asked.

“You’ve hunted many outsider devils. Over time, their resentment builds up on you. People with strong wills aren’t affected, but others might become irritable or less clear-headed.”

Xin Yu suddenly exclaimed, “Now that you say it, I have discovered there are more and more idiots in this world! Is this the cause? Do the outsider devils let us hunt them to poison us?”

Long Chen shook his head. “It’s not that simple. The resentment is just a seed they plant. Later, using methods like that evil statue, those seeds grow until people fall under the outsider devils’ control.”

Chi Yutong gasped, “Wait, is that how the thirty percent of sect masters in the divine capital you mentioned ended up as puppets of the outsider devils?”

Long Chen nodded. Before she could say more, he continued, “It’s too late. Those under control are completely controlled. The rest don’t have the patience or energy to resist. When the great era comes, the outsider devils will use force to make them submit.”

“If they submit to Lord Brahma I might understand, but are they crazy to join the outsider devils?!” demanded Xin Yu.

“The human heart is the hardest thing to comprehend!” Chi Yutong sighed.

BOOM!

Just then, the mountain in front of them collapsed. Devil qi erupted, and a giant figure blocked their path.
