"What's going on? The power of the twelve cities can't even defend a small city like Chang?" Lady Lian muttered to herself, gesturing for her army to surge forward.
Wang Yao then noticed that, so far, not a single one of the signature mud pillars of the Yi tribe's city had appeared. Could it be that the Liang tribe had already conquered Xiaoshang City and was chasing after the Yi tribe's retreating troops? Could it be that the Liang tribe's firearms were more advanced than those of the Zhanghuang tribe?
Before him lay a dense forest, where the two armies were locked in fierce combat. Scattered firelight could be seen through the trees, obscuring the view, and Wang Yao could not discern the true nature of the Liang tribe on the other side.
"Father... I saw a head..." Hui Shuo suddenly whispered from the side.
"What human heads? They're all worms, those are worm heads!" Wang Yao said indignantly. This monk must have messed up his brain with his breathing technique. There are worms everywhere, where are the people?

Wang Yao listened to his earnest words and realized that there must indeed be something there. Moreover, he was, after all, an immortal, and his spiritual sense had been honed. Now, reminded by Hui Shuo, he focused his mind, and the dense forest on his right appeared in a different state in his eyes.
Then, a human head shrouded in black smoke, swaying and drifting through the forest, finally came into his view. Upon seeing it, Wang Yao abruptly covered his mouth with his hand. This... this is the Shadowless One from the Underworld! How did he end up in the Demon Realm?
