Chapter 1498 - 1252: It's a Trap (Part 2)
"Could it be that this Eternal Empress just wants the Demon Clan present to work for her, and she found such an excuse to make them willingly serve her?"He pondered for a while and felt this possibility was very high.
He glanced around and found that the number of Demon Clan around was at least tens of thousands.
He furrowed his brows and looked ahead again. After a while, he saw countless female demons walking onto the high platform from the left.
Soon, a giant chair appeared on the high platform in front.
Then, a slightly plump female demon sat on that giant chair.
Duan Gujin's eyes widened, clearly seeing the appearance of the female demon in front.
He thought the female demon's appearance was quite elegant and poised, but her body was somewhat overweight.
However, all the surrounding demons seemed to be going crazy, knowing that the female demon sitting on the chair was the Eternal Life Goddess.
"Eternal Empress, I love you!"
Many demon experts secretly said to themselves.
Duan Gujin's ears were sharp, and after hearing this, goosebumps rose all over him.
Duan Gujin thought the female demon beside the Eternal Empress was quite youthful and charming, but he had no interest in those female demons.
After 15 minutes, the Eternal Empress sitting on the chair spoke.
"Everyone, please quiet down and listen carefully to me. Today, I've summoned you here to find a husband who can fight alongside me. I hope each of you can bring glory upon yourselves. Do you have confidence in yourselves?"
"Yes!"
The demons present let out excited yells.
Upon hearing this, Duan Gujin sneered inwardly, knowing that the so-called Eternal Empress was feeding the male demons poisonous chicken soup, one death counting as one.
As time ticked by, 15 minutes later, the Eternal Empress finally finished discussing what she wanted to say.
Only then did Duan Gujin realize that the glorious and holy mission she spoke of was to enter Despair Abyss to find Feng Xian's relics.
He gasped, knowing Despair Abyss was a terrifying place, where most creatures entering would lose their lives.
In the past, Exotic Realm Creatures had dispatched armies to enter the abyss but returned empty-handed.
Upon hearing the Eternal Empress wanting the demons to go into Despair Abyss, he felt the Eternal Empress might be sending the demon experts to their deaths.
He knew very well that Despair Abyss was filled with killing intent, surrounded by high mountains, which were once connected mountain ranges but were later submerged by seawater.
And the seawater contained a powerful radiation energy, causing plants and animals there to grow rapidly.
Therefore, Despair Abyss was home to various powerful Demon Beasts.
"This is simply sending these male demons to their deaths!"
Inside he felt like a million wild horses were galloping and at this moment, he just wanted to leave this palace immediately, not wanting to follow the demons into Despair Abyss to find Feng Xian's relics.
He knew Feng Xian was an Immortal Beast, and its relics were extremely valuable.
He had heard of an Immortal Domain True Immortal who found Feng Xian's relics and sold them at an exorbitant price.
However, the creature that found Feng Xian's relics was genuinely a True Immortal, and for the demons to enter Despair Abyss to find Feng Xian's relics now, that was purely courting death!
Until now, Duan Gujin instantly understood the purpose of the Eternal Empress: she wanted the demon experts to enter Despair Abyss to find Feng Xian's relics.
As for how many male demons might die, it wasn't her concern.
Thus, he discreetly made his way to the back of the crowd, deciding not to follow the male demons into Despair Abyss.
He quickly retreated to the back of the crowd, and finding no other demons noticing him, he swiftly exited the palace.
But soon, a demon soldier noticed him. The soldier didn't shout but instructed other demons to surround him.
Duan Gujin saw the situation, his eyes flashed, and he feigned calmness, walking nonchalantly past the demon soldier ahead.
The demon soldier immediately stopped him, asking what he was doing.
Duan Gujin promptly told the soldier he was ordered by the Eternal Empress to do something outside.
The demon soldier, upon hearing Duan Gujin's words, let him pass without hindrance.
Duan Gujin released his Divine Sense and quickly determined his escape direction.
Although some demon soldiers spotted him en route, he claimed he was acting under the Eternal Empress's orders.
Upon hearing this, the demon soldiers no longer troubled him.
But upon reaching the palace's wall, he soon discovered that the wall harbored various Array Powers, blocking his way out.
Thus, he sought some isolated demon soldiers, forcibly extracting their memories, and soon learned that to leave the palace he must possess the Eternal Empress's hand decree, or else he could never leave the palace.
"Damn it!"
From the demons' memories, Duan Gujin learned that escaping the palace required at least a Supreme God Realm cultivation, which infuriated him.
"I never thought the Eternal Empress had planned this all along!"
In the current situation, he could only sigh.
He pondered for a long while but couldn't devise any plan.
He wandered within the palace for ten days and finally gathered some valuable intelligence.
"So that's the deal!"
He discovered from the demon soldiers that the Eternal Empress's true form was the Moon Red Demon Rabbit, instantly recalling that in the past, there was a female fairy in the Immortal Domain whose pet was the Moon Red Demon Rabbit.
"If the Eternal Empress never leaves here, I'll be trapped here forever!"
Through extensive probing, he also learned that the male demon guards here primarily weren't responsible for palace internal security; most were actually slaves to the female demons. He even witnessed several female demons humiliating a male demon, leaving him utterly flabbergasted.
Upon witnessing this, he felt like a million wild horses were stampeding inside.
While trapped in the palace for over ten days, Wu Xiuqing accidentally exposed her identity and was hunted by the demon experts here.
"Damn it, that Duan Gujin must be cozying up with those female demons now. I'm so envious! Why can he live a life of pleasure while I'm being hunted here?"
Although her combat power was formidable, she was in the Demon Transformation World, where the Rule Power naturally imposed a strong suppression on creatures from other Planes entering here, preventing their combat power from fully unfolding.
Thus, she was being hunted throughout by the demon experts here.
Eventually, she was surrounded by the demon experts.
In desperation, she immediately used her Innate Divine Ability, forcibly tearing through the Eternal Dynasty's Space Crystal Wall, escaping outside.
Upon reaching the outside, she immediately utilized Extreme Speed to swiftly distance herself from the Eternal Dynasty.
And those demon experts pursuing her failed to tear through the Space Crystal Wall, thus could only disperse from the Eternal Dynasty's gates to search for Wu Xiuqing.
This news was quickly reported to the Eternal Empress, who immediately suspected that Immortal Domain experts had entered the Demon Transformation World.
She promptly ordered the demon experts to thoroughly search the entire Eternal Dynasty, leaving no potential Immortal Domain spies lurking undiscovered.
Following the command, those demon experts conducted exhaustive searches throughout the Eternal Dynasty.
Yet after days of searching, they found no traces.
