This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 756 - 622: Infiltration_2

A gentle breeze came through, and the statue-like head disintegrated into sand, disappearing into the air.
Wei Yu's heart tightened, his eyes narrowing under the hood. He had been watching these people intently since the beginning, yet he hadn't seen any members of the Shadow Sect make a move.
Either these people used a method unknown to him, or there was a peak Great Cultivator among them who could act without him noticing!
"Eighth Realm Great Perfection? Or... Ninth Realm?"
Wei Yu furrowed his brows and pondered in secret, feeling somewhat perplexed. Even if a Ninth Realm cultivator made a move, shouldn't he be able to notice something? Could it be that there was even a Ninth Realm peak Great Cultivator in the Shadow Sect?
Having failed in his strike, Wei Yu did not opt for a second attack. To make a second move would be to truly tear their faces apart.
Being a mid-stage Eighth Realm cultivator, even though he did not utilize his full strength in that strike, the silent and traceless eradication of his attack was not something an ordinary cultivator could achieve.
"Add another ten percent to the price."
The shadowy figure responded indifferently to Wei Yu's attack, as if without any emotional fluctuation.
"No problem! Please follow me then; the items you requested are too numerous and varied, so we need you to check them personally, to avoid any unpleasantness later."
Wei Yu chuckled softly and agreed readily. The extra cost was already within their plan.
After saying so, Wei Yu calmly turned around and with a slap of his hand, a massive black screen unfolded in front of him.
"Gentlemen, please enter."
Wei Yu gestured for the others to proceed and then stepped into the screen first.
Seeing the screen pulled open, the Shadow Sect members seemingly followed with indifference, but in fact, several of them let out a sigh of relief.
Among these eight people, six were impersonated by Liang Yi and the others, while the real Uncle Jute had been sent in earlier by Wan Tinggui, currently searching for the location of the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core while waiting for Liang Yi and the others to arrive.
As for the remaining two, they were Wen Mengxia and Ling Dongsheng.
Despite the risk of them being discovered coming together, as the leading cultivators of their group, Wen Mengxia and Ling Dongsheng would need to step in to temporarily hold off the members of the Devouring Spirit Sect when Liang Yi and the others sabotage the Heavenly Vein Spirit Core.
The one who just struck was naturally Liang Yi; no one else had the ability to strike such a commanding blow, which could also potentially give something away to the other side.
However, Liang Yi's attack did startle Wen Mengxia and Ling Dongsheng. They did not expect that the junior of the past had now grown to a level where even they had to treat him with caution.
The black screen felt insubstantial upon touch as Liang Yi and the others stepped through and found themselves on a dim mountain summit shrouded in thick fog, leaving the realm of surrounding mountains behind.
Liang Yi casually investigated the surroundings and found that their current location seemed to be tucked between Jinghe Domain and Beisheng Domain. No wonder the Devouring Spirit Sect was interested in obtaining information from Jinghe and Beisheng Domains; it appeared they had premeditated plans concerning them.
Wan Tinggui was calm, and neither Wen Mengxia nor Ling Dongsheng found this strange, as they were all too familiar with the methods of the Devouring Spirit Sect.
Liang Yi's gaze returned, and he saw Wei Yu in front of him taking out a beautifully carved Jade Pendant, lifting one hand high.
The Jade Pendant glowed brightly, and a beam of azure light shot out from it, shining on a spot a hundred zhang below the cliff edge.
Under the watch of Liang Yi and the others, the void suddenly appeared twisted and wrinkled under the illumination of the azure light; the array peeled away, revealing two blood-red vertical pupils that opened and a massive beastly silhouette appeared abruptly in everyone's line of sight.
The dark fog curled below the cliff and obfuscated the view, and it was only with a sweep of their Divine Sense that Liang Yi and the others could discern the true appearance of the beast.
It looked slender and winding, ferocious and malevolent in appearance, with wings on its back, its size several times larger than the king of the Ling Cave Demon Wolves Liang Yi had previously encountered on Snow Mountain in Ling Cave!
At this moment, the shadowy figure with two pairs of blood-red vertical eyes slowly twisted its body. Liang Yi sensed a series of violent tremors coming from the mountain underfoot; it seemed that the beast's body was entwined around the towering mountain that reached into the clouds!
"Flying Snake bloodline?"
Liang Yi raised his eyebrows, not expecting to encounter a demon beast with the Flying Snake bloodline here, and judging solely by its aura, this beast had already reached the peak of the Ninth Realm.
Even if this beast could wield part of the Flying Snake's Divine Skills, it's feared that it could fight on par with a normal Great Perfection Cultivator of the Ninth Realm.
Su Youyi and the others were also looking with surprised eyes at the serpent demon with the Flying Snake bloodline, slowly twisting its body below the cliff.
In the Mystical Mechanism Continent, the Flying Snake is a ferocious demon beast that exists only in legends, and is no longer seen nowadays.
"Follow me!"
Wei Yu motioned to the others with a gesture, then leapt down, directly swallowed by the beast with the Flying Snake bloodline amidst the astonished gazes of Liang Yi and the others.
"Ah, this..."
Though he guessed there must be a hidden reason, seeing this happen still made Liang Yi feel somewhat embarrassed; it was a brazen plunge into the snake's maw.
Liang Yi and the others stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the Flying Snake with its massive open mouth, appearing hesitant, as if pondering whether it was some kind of trap.
Wei Yu didn't rush them, understanding that it was because they were jumping into the mouth of a Ninth Realm demon cultivator. The hesitation of the Shadow Sect was quite understandable.
But this was the only pathway to the Devouring Spirit Sect located deep in the valley, and the black clouds beneath the cliff were the black mist that only the Flying Snake's Innate Divine Ability could traverse freely—any other Cultivator would find it lethal upon contact.
Two or three breaths passed, and just when Wei Yu was secretly mocking the people of the Shadow Sect for being timid as mice, the people on the cliff seemed to have made up their minds and one by one jumped into the mouth of the Flying Snake.
Watching the people from the Shadow Sect jump down, Wei Yu suddenly felt a strange sensation. This feeling was fleeting, disappearing as quickly as it came, like a word on the tip of the tongue that was forgotten, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't recall it.
Wei Yu cast the thought aside, not bothering to dwell on it.
The Flying Snake closed its mouth, its fierce gaze scanning its surroundings. When Wei Yu inside its mouth confirmed there was no one else present, the snake unraveled its coiled body around the mountain peak. Engulfed by a layer of dark glow, it flapped its wings like an arrow piercing through the mist, rushing towards what appeared to be the valley floor but in reality was already a Secret Realm.
And what Wei Yu couldn't see from outside was a peak flickering in and out of its sight, swaying with the breeze, following the Flying Snake down to the valley floor!
Having traveled here hundreds of times, how could the Flying Snake care about a speck of dust beside it?
From peak to valley floor, with the Flying Snake's Innate Divine Ability, it took the time of half an incense stick to burn, proving that what seemed like a descent to the valley floor was in fact entrance into a Secret Realm.
Clouds shrouded the sky, blocking out the sight of the Blood Moon unique to the Abyss Continent. The ground was dry and cracked, as if scorched by something.
Such a land bore no vegetation, only grey rocks and grains of sand, with occasional streams of abnormally hot white flames squirting out from between the stones!
Steep cliffs soared to the sky, and at that moment, a long and massive shadow descended from the heavens, crashing onto the ground and raising clouds of dust.
The Flying Snake lowered its head, and several beams of light shot out from its mouth, revealing figures on the ground—it was Wei Yu and the people of the Shadow Sect.
"We're here. This is the domain of the Devouring Spirit Sect. There are many forbidden areas; follow me and don't wander off."
Wei Yu offhandedly instructed them and waved to the Flying Snake before leading the Shadow Sect people as beams of light towards a building not far away.
The Shadow Sect members responded with silence, simply quietly following.
And after waiting until Wei Yu and the others had completely departed, the Flying Snake flicked out its tongue and leapt up, returning to continue its secluded cultivation.
But what went unnoticed by everyone was a speck of dust that fell from the tail of the Flying Snake, landing on the pitch-black ground.
