Demon General Yan Ze stood on that field looking at the distant Snowrock Castle.

He used his mental perception….

He perceived the flow of particles everywhere!

All things were composed of particles. The fast-moving light contained particles. The floating wind was also composed of particles. The entire area of Snowrock Mountain was also composed of countless particles.

“Snowrock Castle.” General Yan Ze said to himself as each particle of Snowrock Castle conveyed a variety of information through his mental perception.

“There are 1,899 humans there.”

“An alarm array envelops the area and will activate upon the discovery of an intruder.”

“Likewise, there is an extraordinarily powerful killing array that is combined with a trapping array and maze array. I suspect even a Demon General would be trapped within this array for sometime.” General Yan Ze inwardly nodded. “I doubt it is possible to invade Snowrock Castle and kill Xue Ying’s true body.”

He only came this time to scout and asses the situation here.

Xue Ying’s true body was travelling to many places, searching for demons. Xue Ying could change his appearance, so it was extremely difficult to discover his true body. Since the demons were hiding, they suppressed their auras and camouflaged their bodies to avoid being found. Under these conditions, it was also extremely hard for them to find Xue Ying!

But there would be a time….

When Xue Ying’s true body returned to Snowrock Castle, then that would be the perfect time to kill Xue Ying.

“What a pity; there’s no way to invade his Snowrock Castle. The risk is too high!” General Yan Ze gave up on that idea. “I need to be patient to ensure his death I need to wait for an opportunity and behead him in one move.”

He took one step forward.

Shua.

General Yan Ze directly penetrated into the void and vanished.

General Yan Ze was extremely cautious. He had scouted through his Demonic Avatar! Just like how human Saint Transcendents were able to use Qi Avatars, powerful demons were also able to use their demonic energy to make an avatar. Because they were trying their hardest to conceal themselves while they’re in Xia Clan’s World, however, it was rare for the demons to make one.

A Demonic Avatar was made from condensed Demonic energy, and there was no way to conceal it! No matter where it was, it would expose the demon and become detectable by a human Transcendent using World Energy.

If a Demonic Avatar was killed, the demon’s soul would also suffer.

Demons would only use Demonic Avatars when absolutely necessary.

Even General Yan Ze only used it because he wanted to scout Snowrock Castle by himself and quickly leave. He would not dare to strut around or stay for a long time.

…

“Gone?” When Xue Ying had just finished making a report to the Infernal Palace when the purple-scaled, small, skinny demon had already penetrated space and left.

“He already left,” Xue Ying immediately reported to Infernal Palace.

Almost immediately, Palace Head Chen replied to Xue Ying. “Xue Ying, the Demigod demon you described must be Yan Ze. Based on our investigations, he’s a terrifying existence. His strength is unfathomable. He’s really cautious and has had no prior clashes with us. We don’t know much more about him, but we know that all demons from the five northern provinces are under his command.”

“Mn?” Xue Ying was surprised. “The whole five northern provinces?”

“Yes, he can be considered as the king of demons from the five northern provinces. The highest leader!” explained Palace Head Chen. “He’s also your Water Daoist Faction’s biggest enemy! This is all we know about him. Now is a crucial time to collect detailed information. In short, be sure not fight with him, and if possible, avoid him.”

“Understood,” Xue Ying replied.

From his simple contact with General Yan Ze just now.

With the World Energy he had sensed the outrageous and abnormally powerful Demonic aura. Xue Ying knew that the aura of a being with average power wouldn’t vanish instantly. Likewise, the aura wouldn’t surge violently up to this level. The demon had either purposefully released his aura for provocation, or he was really cautious and only sent his Demonic Avatar.

“That feeling.” Xue Ying frowned.

It was really uncomfortable.

He felt that the demon Demigod Yan Ze had been able to see through him completely. This sort of feeling made Xue Ying extremely alert. Xue Ying knew that his senses were not giving him a false alarm; there was a good reason for him to feel the way he felt. He knew some kind of energy had permeated the area and spied on him. Unfortunately, he couldn’t resist this energy since his level was still too low.

It is said that Demon Demigods are on par with our Xia Clan’s top Demigods armed with deity weapons, pondered Xue Ying. There’s still gap with our Xia Clan’s Transcendents’ individual might.
