Chapter 591: Chapter 585: Scheme

"You’re wrong, I also despise you cunning humans."

Lady Zi Ying spoke coldly, "You’d better not say those words again, otherwise I’ll detonate the curse mark inside you."

"Fine, I won’t say it, why get so worked up."

Ye Xuan held his tongue, women often say one thing and mean another, and dealing with Zi Ying was evidently much easier than dealing with Jialuo, the Demon Saint.

It seemed that her position within the Shadow Demon clan was not low.

Roar roar...

Just then, from deep within the Demon Beast Mountain Range, came another round of astonishing roars. Fierce presences swept through the range of his soul power sensors, and some Demon Beasts were even heading in their direction.

"Something must have happened deep in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, otherwise these Demon Beasts wouldn’t be running out so desperately."

Zi Ying’s expression changed. Normally, the Demon Beasts that could threaten them stayed deep within the Demon Beast Mountain Range and hardly ever came out, but now they were fleeing out as if in clusters, which was illogical.

"This is perfect, isn’t the goal of your trials to hunt Demon Beasts? Now that so many are delivering their inner cores to you, aren’t you pleased?" Ye Xuan said with a half-smile.

"Shut up, you have no idea what’s sealed deep within this mountain range..." Chi Yi glared fiercely at Ye Xuan, as if he wanted to devour him.

"Chi Yi!"

Zi Ying’s eyes suddenly turned frosty, as if he had spoken out of turn.

"Oh?"

At this moment, Ye Xuan also showed a thoughtful expression, the more they reacted this way, the more he wanted to venture deeper into the mountain range.

"Just some Demon Beasts, with me here, even the strongest Demon Infant is nothing to worry about. Taking their inner cores is as easy as turning over my hand. Why don’t we go deeper and hunt some more Demon Beast inner cores? What do you think, Brother Chi Yi?" Ye Xuan said with a grin as he looked towards Chi Yi.

"This lad makes sense. With his abilities, we can definitely collect more inner cores. Lady Zi Ying, a Level 4 Demon Infant’s inner core might not be enough for you to break through. If you had two or three, the chances would surely increase significantly."

Chi Yi seemed to be considering others on the surface, but he had his own plans. When Zi Ying obtained that Level 4 Demon Infant inner core just now, he was incredibly envious, his eyes nearly popped out. Of course, he didn’t dare covet Zi Ying’s share, but if Ye Xuan could obtain some more Demon Infant inner cores, or other Demon Beast inner cores, he’d surely get a portion.

After all, he hadn’t managed to take any advantage; just leaving like this would be a wasted trip.

"Although that’s true, this is too risky, and this person is full of cunning tricks. I’m worried he might be plotting something."

Zi Ying hesitated. The person she referred to was naturally Ye Xuan. She didn’t trust him because he gave her a mysteriously unmanageable feeling.

"What trick can he play? If he dares plot anything, I’ll slaughter him myself."

Chi Yi spoke as if Ye Xuan was a trivial opponent, and then continued, "Besides, doesn’t he have the curse mark you placed on him? If he dares to make a careless move, just detonate the curse mark and reduce him to dust."

"Right, what plot could I possibly play? I certainly don’t want to risk my life. Don’t worry, Lady Zi Ying, I will absolutely follow your commands," Ye Xuan said, seemingly very honest.

"Alright then."

Even though Zi Ying was still uneasy about Ye Xuan, she believed she could still control him. Besides, the temptation was too great to resist. Inner cores from Demon Infants were crucial to her, and while a Level 4 Demon Infant was difficult for her to kill, Ye Xuan could easily eliminate such beings.

Such an opportunity was indeed rare.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

As the group ventured deeper, strands of gray smoke seeped out from deep within the Demon Beast Mountain Range, revealing all sorts of bizarre demon beasts emerging from the mountains amidst the spreading Demonic Qi.

These demon beasts were incredibly unique, some resembled apes but with curved horns on their heads, others looked like tiger-lions but were covered in Scale Armor, each possessing a strong aura of Yin Demon, which was excellent material for Shadow Demons’ Cultivation.

Ye Xuan, using his Spiritual Fire, killed one demon beast after another. Even he dared not hunt the beasts openly but captured them cautiously to avoid provoking a group, as startling a large number could force him to flee in panic.

Throughout this process, Ye Xuan also kept an eye on the surrounding environment to see if there were any surprising discoveries.

They were now very close to the core of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, and if there were any secrets deep within the mountains, they might soon find them.

"It’s time to stop advancing."

Suddenly, Lady Zi Ying halted first, scanned the surroundings, and then issued the command.

"Are we stopping here?"

Ye Xuan had no intention of stopping here; he was determined to reach the deepest part of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Pushing his soul power to the limit, Ye Xuan spotted a group of horned dinosaurs fifty miles to the northwest, and an idea struck him. He then concentrated his soul power into spikes, which he violently thrust into the souls of those horned dinosaurs.

Roar, roar, roar!

After this assault, all the horned dinosaurs seemed to be injected with adrenaline, their eyes turning blood-red as they furiously charged toward Ye Xuan’s location.

Boom, boom, boom!

Soon, the ground beneath everyone’s feet shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

"What’s going on?"

Lady Zi Ying’s gaze sharply changed; she soared into mid-air, and from her vantage point, she saw billowing smoke and a crowd of horned dinosaurs, exuding towering Demonic Qi, charging toward them.

Among the group of horned dinosaurs, one in the middle was noticeably larger than the others and was ferociously fast.

"How are there so many demon beasts charging at us? Run!"

Dozens of horned dinosaurs merged, creating a terrifying storm of Demonic Qi; once engulfed by this storm, it would be difficult to escape.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Sensing danger, everyone started moving, rapidly retreating backward. Ye Xuan also moved, but his movement was slower than everyone else, and he was the farthest from the group. As a giant horned dinosaur approached, it opened its huge mouth and swallowed Ye Xuan whole.

The tidal wave of demon beasts swept past like a flood and as swiftly as thunder. It came quickly and left just as fast. Lady Zi Ying, Chi Yi, Ximen Ying, and Qian Wuchen managed to return to their original positions, but Ye Xuan was missing.

"Where’s that young man?"

Realizing that Ye Xuan was nowhere to be found, Lady Zi Ying’s voice suddenly turned cold.
