Chapter 594: Chapter 564: Gathering and Decapitation (Part 2)

The wolf demon leader was seated at the main seat, looking at the various representatives of upper-tier powers all around, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.

"Everyone, we’re just about short of blood and energy. As long as they kill a few more people, or a few more of them are killed, then this door will be completely opened."

Several leaders from the upper-tier powers all looked at the huge door ahead, eyes filled with dread.

Only those who reach their level can truly understand the overwhelming pressure this door presents.

This pressure came like a tidal wave, making even those with their level of power feel deeply powerless.

Yu Caiyi’s eyes flashed with a hint of inexplicable emotion.

She had had contacts with people from the Forbidden Area, thus she knew what lay beyond this door.

However, her gaze remained fixed on the young man beside the wolf demon leader.

The young man looked indifferent, a smile playing on his lips, as if he was unconcerned about everything around him.

At this moment, a demon from the upper-tier power slowly stepped forward.

"We’ve reached this point; I think you should tell us what it means exactly. If you don’t reveal the truth soon, we’ll skin you alive."

The rest of the demon Pseudo-Gods from the upper-tier powers nodded slightly when they saw someone step forward.

Though they didn’t speak, it was evident they agreed with this individual’s statement.

The wolf demon leader heard this and sneered: "I know what you’re worried about, and since things have escalated to this level, I shall tell you."

At this point, the wolf demon leader paused his speech.

After taking in the expressions of everyone present, he continued speaking.

"Beyond this door, there’s a group of beings powerful enough to overturn the heavens and earth. I call them ’Lords’."

"As for their true identity, I’ve only managed to understand a part."

"The Lords have a simple request: open this door to allow them to descend, which will save them a lot of effort."

The creature that had spoken before asked again: "But if that’s the case, won’t we also face the same fate as those humans? Being wiped out on the spot by the terrifying entities behind the door?"

The wolf demon leader shook his head and suddenly pointed to the young man beside him, saying, "Everyone, since I can bring you here, I surely have assurance. My brother standing beside me is a follower of those big figures behind the door, so they know each other."

"As long as we align ourselves with these big figures, they won’t harm us. Only the people of Celestial Cloud Path will die."

Upon this statement, the young man beside him nodded slightly, confirming the wolf demon leader’s words.

Once these words fell, the upper-tier powers who previously voiced concerns fell silent, slowly retreating.

The other demon Pseudo-Gods, after listening to the wolf demon leader’s explanation and after some pondering, decided to wait and see.

Yu Caiyi took in everyone’s expression, coldly laughing internally: "They’re all a group of cunning old foxes, unwilling to stick their necks out at this time. But sometimes, whether or not you stick your neck out isn’t your choice."

She had dealt with these people from the Forbidden Area and knew how ruthless their methods could be.

Nevertheless, Yu Caiyi played it smart, making her presence as minimal as possible at this time, thus refraining from explaining.

Seeing the many demon Pseudo-Gods no longer dwelling on the matter, the wolf demon leader continued: "Everyone, let your men give it one more push. We need to speed up the progress; otherwise, if those big figures inside get anxious, they’ll throw a fit."

Several upper-tier power demon Pseudo-Gods exchanged glances and nodded in agreement before vanishing from the spot.

The place once again fell into tranquillity.

At this moment, all powers seemed to be engaging in the final battle here.

The number of teams gathered by Qin An and others was growing.

They were getting closer to the exit.

In the deepest palace, more than thirty Mountain Patrol Gold Generals haven’t suffered any losses, however, the Mountain Patrol Silver Generals and Mountain Patrol Copper Generals incurred heavy losses.

Not long ago, a severely wounded Mountain Patrol Gold General had also returned to normal and caught up with the main force.

At this moment, before them lay a long passage.

Mountain Patrol Gold General Gu Yun exhaled deeply, showing an unmistakable look of fatigue on his face.

The demon Pseudo-Gods seemed to be attacking like mad from all sides.

Even the seasoned Mountain Patrol Gold Generals felt somewhat tired.

"Based on my understanding of Jinluan Holy Hall, beyond this passage lies the final destination, also the last battlefield?"

Gu Yun surveyed the surroundings, saying: "We must act cautiously; unless it’s absolutely necessary, don’t engage in large-scale slaughter."

About the secret of the Golden Palace Holy Scripture, everyone knew without Gu Yun needing to elaborate, they all agreed with a nod.

Subsequently, Gu Yun stopped talking, leading everyone into the long passage.

The further they went, the more intense that strange and powerful aura became.

Even Gu Yun and the Mountain Patrol Gold Generals displayed a solemn look.

A tiny pinpoint of light appeared ahead.

The light, as they advanced, gradually began to grow.

When it expanded to a certain extent, everyone finally stepped out of the passage and arrived at an extremely vast space.

This was the broadest main hall in the entire Jinluan Holy Hall, hence exuding a golden-brilliant splendor.

What caught everyone by surprise was that there were already a large number of demon Pseudo-Gods gathered here.

At the center, the enormous door emitted a terrifying sensation that touched one’s very spirit.

Now, the door had already opened slightly, seemingly ready to fully open at any moment.

And the aura was flowing out from this small gap.

The wolf demon leader looked at the arrived members of the Evil Extermination Bureau and sighed: "I hadn’t anticipated you’d arrive so swiftly; it’s time for our grievances to be completely settled this time."

Gu Yun sneered, not responding verbally but internally pondering a way to break the deadlock.

As per their knowledge, creating too much bloodshed here isn’t advisable; otherwise, the enormous door would open.

If the bloodshed reaches a certain level, unleashing what’s inside, then the entire Ancient Battlefield relic would be in danger.

Qin An had been standing within the crowds, and now as his gaze swept around, he spotted an old acquaintance.

Among the crowd, Yu Tian was standing amidst a group of fish-like demons, appearing quite ordinary.

Yu Tian seemed to sense the gaze, following it to see Qin An.

Yu Tian paused slightly, then quietly said to Yu Caiyi: "That man is Qin An."

Yu Caiyi returned to herself, her gaze landing on Qin An, with a flicker of killing intent in her calm gaze.

She turned to the young man beside the wolf demon leader and made a sign with her eyes.

The young man also paid attention to Qin An’s position, revealing a cruel smile.

Under the scrutiny of these two gazes, Qin An felt quite uncomfortable but, surrounded by the Mountain Patrol Commanders, didn’t appear panicked.

At this point, the wolf demon leader showed a cruel smile.

"I like to toy with my prey before dining, so I’ll tell you all what kind of desperate situation you’re truly in."

Pointing to the enormous door, he said: "Facing you are only two paths, the first is to defend, but eventually be breached by us and killed right here, the second is to engage in the final battle with us, but then this door will open, and once those big figures inside appear, you all must die."

The Mountain Patrol Commanders present fell silent upon hearing this.

They were all smart enough to know the wolf demon leader’s words were true.

Qin An rubbed his chin, thinking to himself: "It seems this is indeed a tough predicament to break."

Now, the two options laid out actually lead to certain death.

Regardless of choosing which one, the result would be the same.

Gu Yun took a deep breath, waved his hand and said: "Mountain Patrol Silver Generals and Mountain Patrol Copper Generals block those slightly weaker powers, as for the other Mountain Patrol Gold Generals, follow me for the decapitation operation!"
