Generally speaking, the majority of the devils in the second layer were Devil Kings. But that did not mean Devil Emperors did not exist here. In fact, there were some Devil Emperors in the second layer as well, but these were the Devil Emperors with low cultivation stages. Even so, they were more than enough to give this group of humans trouble. Every single devil was an extremely powerful combatant.

That was why everyone in Yu Caidie's group had sustained injuries during their journey. They had even suffered four casualties. Now that Xiang Shaoyun was claiming that he had sensed not one Devil Emperor, but more, the others started getting nervous.

”Stop trying to scare everyone with your bluffs. According to the map, there are obviously no Devil Emperors if we take this route. There is no mistaking that,” said Di Tong.

Su Jun chimed in, ”That's right. Holy Maiden, let's continue our journey. It will take us two more weeks to reach our destination if we take a detour.”

A few others also voiced their opinions, and none of them believed Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun couldn't be bothered to argue with them. He went beside Yu Caidie and said, ”Come with me!”

After saying that, he reached out to grab her hand, but she avoided his grasp.

”What is the meaning of that? Are you forgetting that all of us are here as well?” Long Yunfei was infuriated.

After spending some time with Yu Caidie, Long Yunfei had become even more smitten with her. His desire to become the Yu Clan's son-in-law was even stronger than before. Thus, seeing Xiang Shaoyun trying to grab Yu Caidie's hand right in front of him naturally filled him with anger.

”We will continue on the same route,” said Yu Caidie. Not wanting to see a conflict breaking out within the group, she resumed the journey before Xiang Shaoyun had the chance to say anything else.

Xiang Shaoyun was left with no choice but to go along with them. If this was any other person, he would have left without hesitation. But since Yu Caidie was in the group, he really couldn't bring himself to leave. He would take the risk, and if needed, he wouldn't mind releasing the ghostrune emperors.

Two additional ghostrune emperors had appeared in his Nether Soul Domain. The ghostrunes had also told him how much they longed for the devilish energy outside, but he had yet to allow them to leave his Nether Soul Domain thus far. By now, it was clear the ghostrunes were also devils.

Xiang Shaoyun continued traveling with the group, but both he and Money were actually maintaining a certain distance behind the others. Huo Xudong had gotten rather close with Xiang Shaoyun recently. He knew Xiang Shaoyun was not one to joke around so he stayed by Xiang Shaoyun's side. After some hesitation, Can Wunian also distanced himself from the main group.

Since Xiang Shaoyun could battle ninth-stage opponents as a fourth-stage King, it could only prove that there was something extraordinary about him. And there had to be a reason for him to issue them such a solemn warning earlier.

Sure enough, the group hadn't even traveled far before five figures appeared before them. The five figures had been hiding in a bush and basically looked like they were a part of the bush. Not even Xiang Shaoyun would have noticed them if he did not have his Nether Soul Domain.

The five devils weren't large in build. They each had a square head with eight feelers, the body of an ant, and the tail of a scorpion. These were the devil ant scorpions, and from the number of feelers they had, all of them were Devil Emperors.

”s.h.i.+t! There are really Devil Emperors here!” The faces of Yu Caidie and the others sank. They had never expected that Xiang Shaoyun would actually be right. Devil Emperors had appeared, and there were more than one. Everyone in the group felt a chill creep up their spines upon noticing the Devil Emperors.
