Shi Tuo returned and found Sheng Kong.
Sheng Kong and his group had already entered the dense forest; it was already midnight.
Shi Tuo said, “Hmm, I’ve located them. They’re to the southeast, on the waist of a mountain.”
Huan Huo asked, “They haven’t been discovered by the people of the Demon Domain, have they?”
“They might have already found out. From the moment we arrived on the island, they would have known. They’ve just not shown it.”
“If they have found out, will they deal us the same way they dealt with the Immortal City and the Demon Palace tonight?” Huan Huo asked with a hint of worry.
“I don’t know, it doesn’t seem likely.”
“If they’re not going to make a move, that means they’re waiting for us to come.”
“That’s not right either; they definitely won’t let us pass so easily. They’ll definitely do something,” Shi Tuo said.
“In my opinion, the best thing they could do now is to ambush us unless they are about to break the Seal and obtain the Demonic Spirit. In that case, there would be no need for it.” Huan Huo said.
Shi Tuo said, “It probably won’t be so fast. If they were so close, they wouldn’t have needed to attack the ships of the Immortal City and Demon Palace last night. So it’s unlikely to happen quickly.”
Huan Huo nodded in agreement.
Shi Tuo added, “They must know we’re here and that people from the Immortal Demon Domain are close behind. There’s no need for them to deal with us now, they’re afraid we might get entangled and then the Immortal Demon Domain people would arrive, and they won’t be able to handle it.”
Huan Huo said, “That’s very likely.”
“Tomorrow, we must quicken our pace.” Shi Tuo stated.
Sheng Kong agreed, “We have to stay vigilant tonight. Regardless of whether they’ll try to ambush us, we have to be careful, or else we might end up unprepared like the people from the Immortal City and Demon Palace.”
Shi Tuo promised, “Don’t worry, I’ve already set up our forces. If they come, we’ll know before they get a mile close.”
Back at the base, the people from the Demon Domain were starting to lose their cool.
The third in command, Xishan Gui, was anxious when someone returned and reported the position of the newcomers on the island.
The second in command Yin Jue said, “These people from the Evil Domain are really fast.”
Xishan Gui agreed, “Should we deal with them the same way we dealt with the people from the Immortal Demon Domain?”
The Demon King Gao Ba had obviously considered this issue, shook his head and said, “No.” They had battled just the previous night and now would have to tangle with the people from the Evil Domain; they would hardly get any rest. Furthermore, the people from the Immortal Demon Domain would arrive on the island tomorrow, and he would need to conserve strength for then.
“It’s hard enough for us to deal with the Immortal Demon Domain, and now the people from Evil Domain have arrived. The people from Immortal Demon Domain will also be here tomorrow; we don’t have the energy to deal with all of them,” Yin Jue remarked.
Gao Ba nodded in agreement.
Xishan Gui said, “But we still need some time to get through.”
Gao Ba, having given it some thought over several hours, said, “Tomorrow, set some explosives here as Jiu Jue suggested.”
“Use them to blow it open?”
“In the interest of time, if there’s no better idea, we’ll blow it straight open.” Gao Ba seemed to be growing impatient.
Actually, Xishan Gui was also impatient, he just hadn’t expressed it.
Xishan Gui said, “Alright, let’s blow it open.”
“You focus on the digging, and meanwhile bury the explosives. If we’re driven to desperation, we’ll blow it open. But wait for my order. Only detonate when I give the signal.”
Xishan Gui nodded and said, “I only need half a day to bury the explosives.”
“Keep in mind, save half the explosives to blow open the entrance.”
“Don’t worry, we brought plenty of explosives. It’ll be enough.”
“Well, you better be careful. It might take more than one try.”
Xishan Gui nodded.
Yin Jue said, “I’ll take the responsibility to watch them. I definitely won’t let them catch up.”
Gao Ba was quite confident in Yin Jue’s abilities. He said, “It seems like there’s a lake up on the mountain.”
“Yes, there is indeed a lake,” Yin Jue replied.
Gao Ba glanced at Jiu Jue and said, “Jiu Jue, go have a look to see how big the lake is, where it would flood if it overflows, and if it can avoid our area. Maybe we can lure them into this area.”
Jiu Jue nodded.
Yin Jue asked, “Big Brother, are you planning to breach the lake?”
“With our current strength, it would be very difficult for us to handle both the Immortal Demon Domain and Evil Domain. We need to use the lake to our advantage. If possible, let’s flood them.”
Yin Jue nodded.
Xishan Gui said, “Drown this lot, and then see who dares to compete for the Demonic Spirit.”

Gao Ba added, “Tonight, you’re going to have to make a trip, to make sure everything is clear. Don’t get it wrong and end up flooding ourselves.”
Jiu Jue nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation, and said, “Rest assured, I will not be careless on this.”
“That’s good. Off you go,” Gao Ba said.
Jiu Jue quickly left the scene.
Gao Ba spoke to Xishan Gui again, “Though we brought a lot of gunpowder, I have other uses for it, so we can’t waste it.”
“Hmm, I got it.”
Gao Ba continued, “I will make sure they can’t reach the Demonic Spirit Seal even if they do make it to Earth Demon Island.”
“We would be best off if we could utilize the water in the lake to aid us.”
“We can’t afford a drawn-out battle against them. We need to focus our energies on capturing the Demonic Spirit.”
The boss is right. We definitely need to concentrate more on the Demonic Spirit. Our main reason for coming here is the Demonic Spirit.”
Gao Ba nodded, and added, “Only by obtaining the Demonic Spirit can we restore the Demon Domain.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“All right, now you guys understand the situation. Go and prepare. Keep a close eye on them and figure out the Evil King Sheng Kong’s route.”
Yin Jue nodded in agreement.
The night deepened, an eerie calm prevailing before the storm hit. The wind howled, making the trees emit strange sounds.
The darkness was magnified on the island.
They were rushed out before they could finish their meals. Ye Chen watched a group of people climbing the cliffside like monkeys, not knowing what they were up to.
“Are those guys bored or what? What are they doing climbing up and down? Looking for swiftlet’s nests for nutrients?”
Yu Yun also noticed and said, “Swiftlet’s nest, my foot! They’re burying gunpowder.”
“What! Burying gunpowder—are they trying to blast through from that side? Won’t they need to dig anymore?”
Yu Yun was a bit confused, wondering why they were burying gunpowder all of a sudden. They might score an own goal if things went wrong.
Ye Chen asked, “Is that where the seal entrance is located?”
Yu Yun replied, “That is the most likely location.”
“How do you know?”
“The tunnel has already been half-dug. We can infer its location.”
“Inferred, is that the location!” Ye Chen said, “How come they’ve become so impatient. It’s safest to run away.”
“You think my plan is correct now, don’t you?”
People in the back were yelling, “Get to work, hurry up!”
“If they’re going to blast, why are they still digging?”
“Just for fun.”
“They might blow us all up inside.”
“We’d better hurry.”
“It seems like they truly want to blast through. Aren’t they afraid that it will collapse and all their efforts will be wasted?”
“Maybe the people from Immortal City are on their way.”
After much thought, Ye Chen felt there was some truth in this, saying, “Yes, they can’t wait anymore, there are changes.”
Yu Yun nodded in agreement after hearing this.
They waited until noon.
Yu Yun looked around. Their people were eating.
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from the west. It was faint due to the distance, but still audible.
Ye Chen looked up at the sky, saying, “Is it going to rain?” However, the sky was clear.
Yu Yun said, “No, it’s not rain. The battle has already begun over there.”
Shortly after, a puff of thick smoke arose from the west, and the rumbling sounds kept on. The smoke became thicker and thicker.
Ye Chen got more excited and said, “Girl, seems like you’ve got it right. The people from Immortal City have arrived.”
Some of Xishan Gui’s men had already gotten restless.
A swarm of dark objects quickly approached from the other side. It seemed they had discovered the location of the seal and a large body of them were heading this way.
Xishan Gui jumped out and yelled, “Release the contents of the cage.”
The dark swarm was coming quickly and were clear-cut, initiating a fierce attack right away.
Seeing this, Yu Yun thought it was a great opportunity. With the swarm holding off the Demon Domain’s disciples, they had a chance to escape. She yelled, “What are you guys waiting for! Run now!”
The girl seemed to be deviating from the plan.
She released several Crystal Beasts, who rushed toward the people guarding the entrance as she began to advance.
“That’s not the plan, is it?” Ye Chen followed Yu Yun.
“Plan, my foot! Now is the best time to run. If we don’t run now, are we waiting for them to deal with those airborne things before coming after us?”
A group of children, led by Yu Yun, Xibai, and Ye Chen, rushed toward the entrance, the craftsmen also being prepared, and followed them to the cave entrance.
