Chapter 407: Infiltrating the Demon Castle!

ew Calamity Source Stones left.Only the Calamity's power within a single Origin Stone can contend with the Dharma Phase Realm. The rest of the Calamities are too weak to be of any significance!The st...Qingshu City was at least ten times larger than the county town where Yun Hao rescued Xi Xuan!

This place has already been taken by the Demon Clan as their base camp outside the Demon Cave.

Sato, the descendant of the Demon Lord, remained within Qingyuan City, responsible for commanding the war effort and preparing inside the Demon Castle to refine the Dead Ming Pill and cultivate the Dead Ming Heaven Skill!

After Yunhao arrived at Qingyuan City, he hid outside the city and circled the entire Qingyuan City.

The number of demon races guarding here is enormous, their strength is powerful, and they have set up magic arrays everywhere.

It's not realistic to just barge in like we did when we were rescuing Xiaxuan.

Even if we go through great lengths and manage to break into Qingyuan City, it wouldn't be very meaningful. Because, whether it's about obtaining the Death Pearl, rescuing people, or getting clues about the entrance to the Demon Cave, the key point lies with Satto, the prince of the demon race.

According to Sodan's confession.

Prince Sato of the demon race was very cautious and always stayed within the Demon Fort.

Very soon.

Yun Hao then had a plan!

No force, only strategy!

………

Half a day later.

A group of demons, with over a hundred captured humans, arrived at the city gates of Qingyuan City.

All captured humans were pierced through their bodies with iron chains, linked together.

Every single person is covered in bloodstains, and their skin surface is covered with a layer of pitch-black demonic energy. This demonic energy completely seals the power of these captured humans!

"Lord Sato wants three thousand human warrior souls, and with this batch, we'll have enough. Hurry up and open the gate and let me in!" The demon who was escorting back human prisoners shouted from the position at the city gate.

"Boom..."

The heavy city gate, slowly opened.

A demon general of the Transcending Mortal realm, leading his troops, walked out from inside the city gate.

The leading demon who brought back the captives was clearly familiar with this demon general, and he laughed: "Alright, there's no need to check. They've all been pierced by demon chains, and their spiritual energy has been completely sealed with demonic energy imprints."

There will be no problems.

The demonic cultivator smiled and said, "We still have to go through the necessary procedures."

Then, with a wave of his arm, the demon lord's subordinates who had come out from the city gate immediately stepped forward and roughly checked the captured humans.

Only proceed after confirming there are no issues.

A demon from the Demigod Realm suddenly chimed in, "Was there anything unexpected on the way"

The leading demon, escorting the captured humans back, shook his head and said, "Why ask that"

"You've just returned, so you probably don't know, a death hole has been destroyed, and one of the Death Pearls has been taken. We lost quite a few demon generals and elite warriors. Rumor has it that a young human prodigy did this. Prince Satto is furious about it."

"Unexpected… It's truly unexpected. On our way back, we encountered a martial hall town demon guard who wanted to probe information about Qingyuan City. Haha, he was just a greenhorn and I subdued him with one move."

The leading demon, bringing back the captives, pointed at a young man among them and said: "It's this guy! Arrogant and headstrong. He gave us quite a hard time. Do you think he's the one who stole the Death Pearl and destroyed the Death Point The human prodigy who defied us If it really is him, haha, then I must have stumbled upon a great accomplishment by chance!"

He glanced at the demon from the Profound Realm, then withdrew his gaze and said, "Someone who was defeated with a single move couldn't possibly be the human genius who enraged Lord Satto."

"Stop dreaming here! Cut the chatter and get these people inside. Take them to the Demon Fort, and make it quick! Remember, Prince Sato isn't in a good mood right now. Don't mess with him!"

"Alright, I'll go in then. Thanks for the reminder. When I'm done, I'll properly thank you!"

That's it.

A group of human prisoners were escorted into Qingyuan City.

Yun Hao, it's the lone demon hunter who infiltrated Qingyuan City to gather intelligence.

Sator, the descendant of the Demon King, wants to combine the soul of a human warrior with a Death Orb to refine the Dead Soul Pill.

To refine a soul essence, one must ensure that the human martial artist is alive and has their consciousness infused with ghostly energy.

So, Yun Hao thought of a way to infiltrate the city. He would disguise himself as a prisoner and become one of Sato's materials for refining Nether Souls. This way, he could not only enter Qingyuan City but also get into Sato's hidden demon fortress!

Everything is going smoothly and progressing according to his plan.

As long as he was willing, he could break the Demon Seal that imprisoned his spiritual energy at any time. The injuries on his body were nothing major either. As long as he activated the life energy within his Life Wheel, he could recover to his peak state in just a few breaths' time.

After entering Qingyuan City.

Yun Hao, hidden among the captives, secretly observed the Demon Clan's troop deployments.

The demons who considered Qingshuicheng to be the main base camp outside their demon lair stationed a powerful force there. Fortunately, Yunhao didn't choose to break in forcefully, otherwise, the ending wouldn't have been pleasant.

Just then.

A strange tremor spread across Qingyuan City.

In the very center of Qingyuan City, on top of a hundred-zhang-high black fortress, a beam of black light suddenly shot out.

A black beam shot out, exploding with a boom in the air and then transforming into a wave of black that rippled outward.

The black wave rippled for a while before disappearing.

Yun Hao clearly sensed that the entire Qingyuan City's magic array had been subtly enhanced to a certain degree.

And.

Unseen, a pressure descended upon Yun Hao. Not only him, but anyone with human blood would be suppressed!

In contrast, the demon race has become even more spirited and their auras are purer.

"Magic Source!" Yun Hao muttered in his heart.

Magic source is a kind of energy that exists in every magic cave.

The power of the demon race comes from the Demon Source!

However, the demonic energy that was surging just now wasn't substantial. It shouldn't be a true manifestation of the real demonic source, but rather a portion of it that had split off.

This moment.

Yun Hao had already figured out why only the descendant of the Demon King, Sato, could know the entrance to the ever-shifting Labyrinth.

It must be because of the part that was separated from this group of magic sources.

As long as one controls a portion of the demon core's energy, they can establish a constant connection with the complete demon core within the Demon Cave. No matter how the entrance to the Demon Cave shifts, it can always be found.

The descendant of the Demon King, Sato, is within his demon fortress. Parts of the demonic energy have also been divided and are within the fortress, including the magic formation hub that covers the entirety of Qingyuan City. Those who were captured and are about to be refined into soul spirits, such as Tian Buhui, are also all imprisoned within the demon fortress!

Magic Castle,

Only then is the true core.

Just like a palace of an imperial dynasty.

As long as we destroy the demon fortress, this war will surely turn in our favor!

………

A moment later.

Yun Hao and a group of human captives were imprisoned in a dungeon located next to the demon fortress.

Within the dungeon, a chilling energy permeated the air. This intangible force subtly eroded one's perception.

This is ominous!

It is obvious that now everyone must be locked here, with demonic Qi invading their sea of consciousness, polluting their souls. Then their tainted souls will be refined into soul demons, and finally merged with the death pearl to refine the Deathly Yin Pill for Sato to cultivate the Deathly Yin Heaven Art!

Yunhao silently circulated the Ancestral Divine Technique, dispersing all the Yin Qi that had invaded his sea of consciousness.

Thus, two full days passed.

Yun Hao's surroundings, all the people were already tainted with sinister qi, their souls corrupted. They walked like zombies, their eyes vacant and lifeless.

Two days’ time, the spiritual pollution will be enough. We can send them into the Demon Fortress to be used in refining spirit souls!

Outside the dungeon, a demon general came to pick someone up. Afterward, everyone who was imprisoned with Yun Hao, were escorted by the demons into the Demon Fort!eaven Grade lower product."His flames are the Azure Spirit Fire from the primordial fires of heaven and earth… Although not bad, for someone with his monstrous talent, it's too weak!""He wants to use...
