Chapter 267
They quietly bypassed the garrison and sneaked towards the rear of the demon tribe, being careful along the way and avoiding many demon patrols.
We walked to a strange forest, all the trees were black and exuded a trace of demonic aura.
Suddenly, many vines emerged from all around, wrapping around everyone like they had life. Shi Qinghan drew his sword to cut off the vines, but the more he cut, the more vines appeared.
Gu Shihan closed his eyes and sensed it, and found that the roots of these vines were deep underground.
She summoned a firebird, which rushed into the ground and the vines withered instantly.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a melodious flute sound was heard, and everyone's heads became confused.
Gu Shihan forced himself to stay awake, took out the Qingxin Bell and rang it. The sound of the bell dispelled the confusion of the flute sound.
The crowd did not dare to stop and sped up, bypassing the demon camp and heading straight into the demon's heartland.
"Junior sister, this devilish land is similar to our fairyland! How come I can still see immortal cultivators active around?" Mo Yu asked.
Gu Shihan looked around and said, "This is not the Demon Realm yet. The real Demon Realm is still far away. We cannot use our spiritual power at will in the Demon Realm. Everyone, be careful. It's best to act in groups of two or three. We shouldn't be too far away. The best distance is to be able to take care of each other."
"Well, how about we form a group of three?" Duan Siqi blinked her bright big eyes and asked everyone with a smile.
"Of course, Shihan, I want to go with you. Hehehe, by the way, Nangong, you can come too!" Wen Xin was smiling and invited enthusiastically, while extending her hand to wave to Nangong Yi.
"Okay, no problem!" Nangong Yi responded cheerfully, and caught up with him as quickly as the wind.
In this way, the personnel groups were determined: Duan Siqi, Mo Jian and Mo Yu formed one team; and the other side was composed of Shi Qinghan, Situ Tinglang and Gu Jiahui.
The three groups pretended not to know each other and continued to move forward. On this day, they came to a town of neither large nor small.
This town is a little special. It is home to immortals and demons, and they get along quite harmoniously. It looks like a peaceful scene.
After entering the town, everyone dispersed tacitly and went to quietly search for useful information.
Gu Shihan, Wen Xin and Nangong Yi slowly walked into an antique teahouse.
They chose a relatively secluded corner and sat down, ordering a few cups of tea. They seemed to be sipping tea and chatting leisurely, but in fact their ears were perked up, paying attention to the movements around them.
At this time, several demons sitting at the next table were chatting enthusiastically. One of them lowered his voice and said, "Did you hear? This time, the high-ranking officials of the demon world unexpectedly ordered a war without any warning. It is said that it seems to be to snatch an extraordinary treasure."
The other person opened his mouth in surprise and asked, "What kind of treasure is it? How could it make the high-ranking officials of the demon world mobilize so many troops?"
"I don't know. I only know that the treasure is in the second heaven of the fairy world. It is said that obtaining this treasure can change the situation between the fairies and demons. Whoever obtains it will have absolute say."
Gu Shihan's heart suddenly shook, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Could this be the real reason why the demons launched such a shocking war? He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
At this moment, on the other side, the group led by Duan Siqi was moving forward in a narrow and deep alley.
Suddenly, their eyes were drawn to a figure huddled in the corner.
When they got closer, they found that it was a seriously injured immortal. The immortal was as pale as paper and his breath was weak, but he still managed to reveal a shocking secret to Duan Siqi and others:
In this seemingly ordinary town of the demon clan, there is a mysterious little tower hidden. It is said that a rare and unique prophecy in the world is hidden deep inside this tower, but no one can get close to it.
Although this small tower is here, it seems to be alive. A prophecy will appear every thousand years. A hundred years ago, there were rumors that a mysterious bead would appear, and the power that obtained this bead would be able to call the world.
Both the human race and the demon race were ready to make a move, but the whereabouts of the bead was strange and it was said that it was obtained by someone from the fairy world. The Demon King was not happy about this and the battle began.
Not long after, the three groups successfully met up and shared and exchanged the important intelligence they had obtained with each other.
After careful consideration, everyone was skeptical about such rumors.
"I think it's fake!" Shi Qinghan was the first to raise an opinion.
"I think so too. It is probably an excuse of the demons. Since someone from the fairy world got it, he has the power. Wouldn't it be easy to deal with the demons?" Situ Tinglang also said.
Duan Siqi thought for a moment and said, "Since the prophecy came from the small tower, should we explore the small tower?"
"Sure! What do you think, junior sister?" Mo Yu asked.
Gu Shihan thought about it and couldn't find any other way. Then maybe going to the source of the prophecy could be a way. "I think it's worth a try."
As night falls, the inky black sky covers the earth like a huge piece of black silk.
Under the cover of moonlight, the three groups of people carefully avoided the layers of tight guards set up by the demons and approached the small tower silently like ghosts.
This small and exquisite white tower is as pure as snow, and emits a soft and bright white light.
If you look closely, you will find that the bright white light is mixed with wisps of black air that are twisted and deformed like smoke.
The black air seemed to have life, swirling around the tower, adding a mysterious and weird atmosphere to the entire tower.
"Shi Han, how did we get so close to this small tower without realizing it? Didn't we agree before that we shouldn't get close to it?" Duan Siqi asked with a puzzled look on her face.
Her big watery eyes were full of confusion and worry.
Gu Shihan was also a little surprised, and shook his head and replied: "I'm not sure either. But look at those people over there, they also seem to want to get closer to this small tower, but they seem to be trapped in a maze and can't move forward at all."
Gu Shihan stretched out his hand and pointed in a direction, and everyone looked in the direction he pointed.
Sure enough, I saw several people walking around aimlessly like headless flies, muttering something. They were obviously lost and couldn't find the way forward.
At this moment, Xing Bai's voice suddenly came into Gu Shihan's mind: "Hanhan, let me out!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Shihan immediately waved his sleeves. A flash of light passed by, and Xingbai's figure flew out from the Yuehua bracelet.
