However, Zu'an possessed the art of transformation, allowing him to perfectly transform into a member of the demons while concealing his own aura. Thus, he remained undetected throughout his journey inland, constantly changing his identity.
Meanwhile, deep within the camp, in a magnificent tent, the Demon Lord sat high above on a tall seat made of white bones, with a three-headed monstrous bird crawling at his feet, sizing up a plump, white-skinned subordinate below.
"My lord, this is absolutely true. King Bulun was indeed wiped out by the sea tribe. From now on, no one will hold you back. Next, we will march east and completely annihilate the demon race. We will capture that damned saintess and make her your maid!" If Zu'an were here, he would definitely recognize him as the male concubine Steward Pi whom he had met in the dungeon.
"Morgard has truly disappointed me. Leading an elite army, he was annihilated by an unknown fellow. To be on par with him is a disgrace to me!" the Demon Lord gritted his teeth.

Just then, a voice came from outside: "That's not right. Now is the best time to do that thing."
"Who!" The demons in the room suddenly changed their expressions. They knew that they had just said some very treasonous things, and if outsiders found out, it would cause endless trouble.
The Demon Lord waved his hand, sending a powerful burst of energy directly towards the source of the incident.
Wherever the energy passed, the wall of the tent was completely obliterated.
