Chapter 872: Deception Unveiled

"Wait, I sensed something!" Taejin Yun exclaimed, sweat streaming down his back in panic.

The sharp killing intent from Dalamadur receded significantly as its figure instantly appeared before him. "Where is Pixiu?!"

"In the exact eastern direction," Taejin Yun pointed to their right front and said.

Dalamadur didn’t hesitate any longer, grabbing Taejin Yun and soaring into the sky with extreme speed, while Yeonseon Yang and the others swiftly followed behind.

In the dark forest, the demonic beasts stirred restlessly, but the moment they sensed the powerful aura of Dalamadur, they instantly retreated to their territories, trembling with fear.

Such a powerful demonic beast coming out here—no wonder even the Deity Transformation stage beasts didn’t dare to show themselves.

With Dalamadur leading the way ahead, they didn’t encounter a single demonic beast.

"Do you think Taejin Yun really sensed the presence of Pixiu again? Or was he just unable to sense it before?" Hyunwoo Chen’s voice echoed in the minds of Yeonseon Yang and the others.

"He wouldn’t dare deceive Dalamadur, unless he has a death wish." Dalamadur was not a demonic beast to be trifled with. Even ten Taejin Yuns couldn’t defeat it.

If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of this Dalamadur, they wouldn’t have found themselves in such a passive situation.

Just then, Dalamadur, leading at the front, suddenly came to a halt.

Everyone else quickly stopped, unsure of what Dalamadur intended to do next.

Yeonseon Yang’s gaze sharpened.

Devils?

"Who goes there?" From the darkness ahead, a group of devils emerged, and the devils quickly spotted their presence as well.

The lead devil, seeing their large group, and several of them at the Deity Transformation stage, had a change of expression. Without hesitation, he turned and fled, shouting, "Retreat!"

The devil’s subordinates had no idea what was happening, but seeing their leader flee without a fight, they assumed their opponents must be overwhelmingly strong.

Dalamadur didn’t immediately give chase. From its perspective, the strongest devil among them was merely a lord, and catching up would only be a matter of time.

"Is it them?" Dalamadur’s green eyes flicked toward Taejin Yun, whose expression was odd and uncertain.

"The aura I sensed is indeed within that group, but..." Taejin Yun hadn’t finished speaking when Dalamadur shot off like an arrow, instantly pursuing the devils.

Yeonseon Yang and the others didn’t move because they knew the Heavenly Dew scent wasn’t coming from the devils—it was Pixiu itself that was affected by it. But Dalamadur didn’t know that; since Pixiu could conceal its aura, it had mistakenly assumed the demonic beast was hiding among the devils.

"City Lord Yun, are you deceiving Dalamadur? When it finds out, you’ll be in big trouble," Seojin Feng said anxiously. So many changes had occurred suddenly, and he wasn’t sure if they could still capture Pixiu.

Taejin Yun’s face looked terrible. "I’m not deceiving him. As soon as I got near that group of devils, the Gu King suddenly calmed down."

Everyone was stunned. "City Lord Yun, what do you mean? Are you saying Pixiu is hiding among the devils?"

"I don’t know. I’m also completely in the dark right now. Earlier, the Gu King suddenly lost the scent of the Heavenly Dew..." Taejin Yun said.

"I thought you were tricking Dalamadur, but it seems you were serious. Could this have something to do with this incident?"

Taejin Yun took a deep breath. "It’s highly likely."

"Everyone, we should leave now. Otherwise, when Dalamadur returns, we’ll still be in trouble." Hayeon Ren didn’t wait for a response and immediately led the disciples of the Divine Maiden Sect away.

Although they knew Dalamadur wouldn’t kill them easily, there’s always a chance something could go wrong. Traveling with a powerful yet volatile demonic beast was like gambling with their lives.

Hayeon Ren would never place her life in the hands of a demonic beast.

Once she left, the others quickly followed, bringing their people along.

Seojin Feng and the rest hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to leave with Taejin Yun.

Not long after they left, Dalamadur, having slaughtered the group of devils, returned. Upon realizing that Pixiu was not among them, Dalamadur knew it had been tricked. Seeing that Taejin Yun and the others had fled, the demonic beast was consumed with rage, and its explosive energy instantly devastated the surrounding area.

Hundreds of miles away, a Monarch-level devil suddenly sensed the commotion and turned around to look in the direction of Dalamadur.

"Milord?" Forvach asked in confusion.

"There’s a powerful demonic beast, and it seems to be rampaging in the east. Who’s over there?" the Monarch-level devil asked in a deep voice.

Forvach quickly replied, "Milord, that’s the direction where Jahol go."

"This is troublesome. Have we found those two disciples from the Green Lotus Sect yet?" the Monarch-level devil’s mood grew darker.

"No, Milord. It’s as if they’ve vanished. No matter how we search, we can’t find them, nor the shadow that ambushed us before," Forvach responded nervously.

"And what of the other sects?"

At that moment, a blood-soaked devil arrived to deliver a message.

"Reporting! The human sects have left the Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, and it seems they were accompanied by a powerful demonic beast. Jahol has been slain."

The faces of the devils shifted, and they all looked at the monarch-level devil. "Milord, could this demonic beast have come specifically for us?"

Jahol had the strength of a grand lord, yet he was killed.

The Monarch-level devil released a powerful aura. "I will go investigate personally. Forvach, recall the others."

"Yes, Milord."

The Monarch-level devil vanished in an instant, and in less than a minute, he had crossed the distance of hundreds of miles. From afar, he could see the demonic beast wreaking havoc, flattening everything within hundreds of meters, trees and hills alike.

"Milord, save me!"

Rehimes had been nearby when Jahol was killed. He knew Osmos had seen the two Green Lotus Sect disciples, so he tried to stick close to him. Since Osmos was Jahol’s subordinate, he thought it was a safe bet. But they were unlucky, and even Jahol was killed. Naturally, Osmos didn’t survive either.
