Chapter 488 - 488 Meeting the Demonic Race Again

488 Meeting the Demonic Race Again

On the hill, Gu Xi slowly stretched his back, and the bones in his body made a series of crackling sounds.

After a few days of searching, he had checked all the teleportation arrays marked on the map, and he did find several arrays with traces of the demonic race. He destroyed all of them without exception. This should have been a happy thing, but at this time, Gu Xi could not lift his mood at all. Instead, he was very worried.

Although he had wiped out a few teleportation arrays that the demonic race had tried to repair and use, this also made Gu Xi realize that the return of the outer realm demonic race had become a 100 percent reality. More importantly, in the invasion, the demonic race would not limit themselves to just the use of these inconspicuous teleportation arrays!

If they wanted to set foot in the territory of the human race again, they would use more than just this obvious method of transportation!

“There must be some other way.” Gu Xi’s eyes looked at the horizon and his brain started to work quickly.

“According to Elder Yun, the demonic race either built a space tunnel that could teleport them across long distances or completed their invasion through the teleportation formation. Building a space tunnel will attract attention, and even though the Eastern Continent is vast, it is still a very risky thing to do. So, it is very likely that they chose to come through the teleportation formation. But I’ve already checked all the known teleportation portals in the Eastern Continent, and I’ve destroyed all those that should be destroyed. We can’t just stop the demonic race’s plan to come here so easily, can we?”

Gu Xi paced back and forth on the hill, mumbling to himself.

“If they didn’t come here through the Eastern Continent’s teleportation formation, the other possibility is that they’re going to build their own teleportation formation…”

At a certain moment, Gu Xi’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

According to the current trend, the outer realm demonic race had most likely built their own teleportation portal in an unknown place, and the number of teleportation portals must be a number that could not be underestimated.

However, the Eastern Continent was vast, and trying to find the teleportation arrays was like looking for a needle in a haystack. By the time they found all the teleportation arrays, it would be too late.

“I wonder how Elder Yun is doing.”

After some thought, Gu Xi could only pin his hopes on Yun Zhiyi.

As long as the Alliance could be established, they could mobilize most of the cultivators in the entire Eastern Continent to participate in the operation to defend their homeland. They could send people to search the entire Eastern Continent inch by inch, find all the teleportation formations set up by the outer realm demonic race in one fell swoop, and destroy them. In this way, they could delay the arrival of the war by a large margin, giving the people of the entire Eastern Continent some time to catch their breath.

“I hope everything goes well.” Gu Xi sighed and turned into a stream of light and flew straight into the sky.

It was best to return to Lanjiang City as soon as possible to discuss with Elder Yun. After all, Elder Yun’s strength was clear on the surface, and with his experience in fighting against the demonic race 10,000 years ago, Elder Yun was the absolute backbone of this operation.

In the air, Gu Xi’s figure flew towards Lanjiang City at an extremely fast speed. However, before he could leave the northern wilderness, an inconspicuous small village below caught his attention.

Looking down, the village was remote and not big, but the strange thing was that there was no sign of any villagers when looking down from the sky, as if it had been abandoned.

Gu Xi pondered for a while, and his figure flashed. When he reappeared, he was already on the dirt road at the village entrance.

As soon as he landed, Gu Xi was stunned for a moment before his face immediately darkened.

He did not notice it when he was up there, but the moment he came down, a strong smell of blood rushed into his nose!

There were obvious traces of the existence of the demonic race here!

“This time, it’s really a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse.” Gu Xi grinned. At the same time, a vast divine sense burst out from his mind, like a stormy wave, and wrapped the entire village in an instant.

A moment later, he frowned. The feedback from his spiritual sense showed that there was nothing unusual about the village at first glance.

“It seems that I still have to go in to find out.” After taking a deep breath, Gu Xi no longer hesitated. He raised his vigilance to 100 percent and immediately strode into the village.

After entering, the smell of blood in the air suddenly rose to a new level. As Gu Xi gradually went deeper, he even saw the broken limbs of the villagers and their miserable corpses from time to time. He also found a strange similarity. The corpses of these villagers were all dried up and their blood seemed to have evaporated into thin air.

“Snatching their blood… What are they using it for?”

After a simple search, Gu Xi still could not get an answer. His eyes slowly swept across the village that looked normal on the surface and ordered the System to start examining the entire village.

[Ding! A teleportation array has been detected deep underground!]

Not long after, the System responded.

Gu Xi raised his eyebrows and immediately stomped his feet. At the same time, he tried to spread his divine sense deep underground, but it was blocked by an invisible barrier.

“Is the blood used to set up a formation? That’s indeed the demonic race’s way of doing things.”

Connecting the two things together, Gu Xi instantly had his own guess.

It was extremely cruel for the demonic race to use human blood to set up the teleportation formation. It was hard to imagine what would happen to the common people if they really occupied the entire Eastern Continent in the future!

[An outer realm demonic race has been detected approaching!]

Just as Gu Xi was thinking about how to destroy the teleportation array under his feet, the System’s cold prompt suddenly sounded, and his whole body tensed up in an instant.

He could feel that at this moment, there were no less than five auras rapidly approaching his position!

After a few short breaths, a few figures in blood-red robes appeared in Gu Xi’s field of vision, and these people just happened to surround Gu Xi.

“It looks like they don’t plan on letting me go.” Gu Xi indifferently glanced at the few people who had appeared, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

“Young man, you should not have come here,” an old man with a hoarse voice said indifferently. His voice was extremely cold.

“I should be the one saying this to you.” A majestic spiritual power fluctuation slowly surged out of Gu Xi’s body. He smiled and his body tensed up like a bow on a bow, ready to attack at any time.

As long as they made any strange moves, he would not hesitate to completely obliterate them in this barren land with thunderous means!

“It seems like our plan has been exposed.” The old man glanced at Gu Xi indifferently and sighed. “No wonder the plan was brought forward… However, it doesn’t matter anymore. After all, this world is about to become the territory of my race.”

“It looks like you’re very confident. However, our human race was able to drive you out of this continent 10,000 years ago. We naturally have the ability to do the same 10,000 years later. Of course, if it were me, not only would I drive you out of the Eastern Continent, but I would also track you down and annihilate you all in one fell swoop.”

Gu Xi’s words were sonorous and powerful, and his words revealed a strong killing intent that was not concealed at all.

Although he had never seen the scene of the demonic race invading the human race, he could tell from the tragic state of this small village that if the demonic race really succeeded in the future, the human race would be plunged into misery and suffering. It could even be said that the human race faced extinction!

This kind of thing could not be allowed to happen!

“Everything is set in stone, and you can’t change it,” the old man said indifferently, his tone full of confidence in their plan.

Gu Xi did not intend to continue arguing with him on this matter. Instead, he looked at the ground under his feet. At the same time, with the help of the System, the complete appearance of the teleportation array under his feet had already appeared in his mind.
