“We’ll take a detour.” Long Haochen had made his decision after a moment of thought.

“The Devil Expulsion Pass is located near the center of the Demon Subduing Mountain Range. This mountain range stretches for hundreds of miles horizontally. Even if the demon army were several times larger, they couldn’t possibly block the entire border. We can detour and find a weaker spot in their defenses. Once we enter the Demon Subduing Mountain Range, we can naturally return to the Devil Expulsion Pass.”

With the plan settled, the group immediately set off, maintaining a sufficient distance from the demon camp, and moving horizontally, heading north. Because the main demon base was in the southeast, they had a better chance heading north and were less likely to encounter demon reinforcements.

The area occupied by the demon army was larger than they had imagined. The main legions stretched for hundreds of miles, and there were also a large number of auxiliary troops and patrols/scouts moving along the edges.

Apart from the demon army directly facing the Devil Expulsion Pass, there were demon beacon towers and small garrisons at intervals. Of course, these were all facing the mountain range, used to prevent the Temple Alliance from launching surprise attacks from the mountains. After all, the border line was so long that the demons couldn’t completely encircle the Temple Alliance, which was why Long Haochen chose to detour.

Of course, this method was not unique to Long Haochen. Almost all demon hunter teams above the sixth rank chose to break through at weak points to enter each other’s territory.

For safety’s sake, Long Haochen and his companions continued north for nearly two hundred miles before stopping. By this time, it was already broad daylight, almost noon.

Finding a not-so-dense thicket, Long Haochen led his companions to rest on the spot. Night was the best time to hide, and tonight would be the moment they returned to the Alliance.

According to Long Haochen’s idea, dawn would actually be the best time, because that was when both humans and demons were at their lowest point of willpower. However, one problem restricted his choice of time: the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield.

After these days of experimentation, Long Haochen discovered that his Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield would be unable to be released at dawn and dusk.

There was no doubt how powerful the epic-level Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield was for protecting everyone. The Shield Wall skill, when cast with this shield, was so powerful that it could withstand even a ninth-level powerhouse for a while. An eighth-level powerhouse wouldn’t even think of breaking through easily. Although breaking through here wasn’t very dangerous, for the sake of stability, Long Haochen naturally wanted to strike the demon reconnaissance line when the Sun Moon Divine Snail Shield could be used.

The group conserved their energy in the thicket, not making a fire, and quietly waiting for night to fall.

Han Yu’s Evil Eye quietly floated above the thicket, its huge single eye flashing with a bright light from time to time, surveying the surrounding situation.

At this time, they were about twenty miles away from the border demon哨卡(sentinel post), which was beyond the range of demon reconnaissance magic. Especially since this wasn’t the front of the Devil Expulsion Pass.

Among the number sixty-four elite-level demon hunter team, apart from Long Haochen and Cai’er, whose cultivation increased the fastest, the improvement speed of the others was actually not slow at all. It was just that their brilliance was all overshadowed by Long Haochen and Cai’er. Take Han Yu for example. Han Yu’s inner spiritual power had already reached over six thousand, a standard sixth-level fourth-grade cultivation. He was only in his early twenties! To give a simple example, Long Haochen’s father might not have been more cultivated than Han Yu at his age.

Along with Han Yu’s strength improvement, his magical beast partner, the Evil Eye, had also evolved to the command level, roughly equivalent to a sixth-level human powerhouse. Its single eye had a diameter of more than half a meter and had four soft, limp tentacles that were over six meters long. Although it was mainly used for reconnaissance in the demon hunter team, in reality, the Evil Eye’s combat power was also quite impressive.

The sky gradually darkened, and on the border, the demon army lit bonfires.

A patrol consisting of fifty Dual Blade Demons was patrolling the border. The number of Dual Blade Demons was the largest in the entire demon race. Naturally, they were the ones doing these tough and tiring jobs.

In addition to the Dual Blade Demons, there was also a Demon Eye Warlock in this team, responsible for transmitting information.

While moving, suddenly, the Demon Eye Warlock let out a scream, stopped, and the Dual Blade Demons quickly stopped and surrounded him. These low-level demons did not have any language, relying on instinct to transmit information.

The Demon Eye Warlock’s six eyes stared in one direction, but, in the next moment, whether it or the Dual Blade Demons couldn’t help but tremble and prostrate themselves on the ground.

A group of people in black robes were quickly approaching them in this direction. The one in front was not humanoid, but an extremely huge black dragon. The dragon’s eyes flickered with red light, and just a cold glance at the Demon Eye Warlock and the Dual Blade Demons was enough to almost paralyze these patrolling demon soldiers.

Behind the black dragon, there were a total of nine black-robed people. The one walking in front lifted the hood on his head, revealing an extremely handsome face, and took out a token to wave at the Demon Eye Warlock and the Dual Blade Demons. His feet, however, did not stop at all, striding away with his head held high.

Not to mention blocking or asking questions, for the Demon Eye Warlock and the Dual Blade Demons, facing the pressure of the Nether Dragon, they didn’t even have the courage to stand up. They could only watch with awe as these beings, who might be top demon powerhouses, went away, gradually disappearing into the night. And the direction they were going was the Demon Subduing Mountain Range.

It wasn’t until the dragon’s power completely disappeared that the patrol team climbed up from the ground, their breathing clearly becoming heavier. It was the first time they had come into such close contact with top powerhouses. It would be strange if they could remain calm.

The same situation appeared one after another on the border. At least four patrol teams were frightened and paralyzed on the ground. If it were just humanoid demon powerhouses, they might have dared to step forward and ask. But the problem was, the leader was a genuine Nether Dragon!

The total number of Nether Dragons in the entire demon race was only a little over two hundred. They were the true direct subordinates of the Demon Dragon Emperor. Even lower-ranking Demon Gods had to be careful in front of them, let alone these low-level demons responsible for patrolling. The Dragon Division demon hunter team was a powerful core-level existence.

“McDull is getting more and more impressive.” In the concealment of the black robes, a chuckle suddenly sounded.

The leading black-robed person turned his head and glared coldly at the person who spoke. The black-robed person who spoke quickly shut up, daring not to say more.

That’s right, wasn’t this team of black-robed people Long Haochen and his companions? In order to pretend to be a demon hunter team, Long Haochen summoned Holy Guards Number Eleven and Twelve. Everyone put on black robes, and McDull the little pig directly transformed into the appearance of a Nether Dragon. Although it only had pressure and no actual combat power, it was enough to scare those low-level demons.

The journey had been smoother than expected. By the time they entered the Demon Subduing Mountain Range, and McDull had eaten the fifth sixth-level demon crystal to maintain the Nether Dragon form, they had not encountered the slightest trouble.

In fact, it was normal for them not to encounter trouble in their current appearance. A demon hunter team appearance, led by a Nether Dragon, let alone ordinary patrol soldiers, even seventh or eighth-level demons wouldn’t dare to come forward to check. The Dragon Division demon hunter team was a powerful core-level existence.

It was just that they had experienced too many dangers in demon territory, so Long Haochen had to be careful. It wasn’t until they finally entered the Demon Subduing Mountain Range that everyone relaxed. From this moment on, they could be considered to have returned to human territory.

McDull transformed back into a pig and fell asleep in Chen Ying’er’s arms, exhausted. McDull had also obviously improved. In the past, even with a sufficient supply of demon crystals, it would not have been able to transform into a ninth-level demon for such a long time. However, at least until Chen Ying’er advanced to the seventh rank, it would not be able to advance to that level.

Changing out of the black robes, removing the Demon Eyes, and recalling the two Holy Guards, Long Haochen and his companions immediately transformed back into the demon hunter team. Underneath the black robes, everyone was fully equipped. Now that they were revealed, they naturally exuded a powerful aura.

A murderous aura was cultivated in life-and-death struggles. They couldn’t feel it themselves, but in reality, constant training had changed their temperament a lot.

This was not a place to stay, so everyone climbed directly to the top of the Demon Subduing Mountain Range.

The Demon Subduing Mountain Range was the largest mountain range in the Temple Alliance, stretching not only for hundreds of miles horizontally, but also nearly a hundred miles wide in depth. Even with their strength, without flying, it would take at least two days to cross the entire Demon Subduing Mountain Range.

For the sake of caution, so as not to be discovered by enemies who might be hidden in the mountains, Long Haochen naturally would not let his companions fly to save effort. For them, climbing was not too strenuous. Wang Yuanyuan helped Chen Ying’er, and Sima Xian helped Lin Xin. The speed at which the group climbed the mountain was not much slower than traveling on flat ground.

The night gradually deepened. More than an hour after entering the Demon Subduing Mountain Range, Long Haochen and his companions finally climbed to the summit of the first peak. This mountain peak was over two thousand meters high. The north was already cold, and the top of the mountain was completely covered with ice and snow. The mountain wind at night was even more chilling.

“There seems to be something happening in the south.” Han Yu suddenly said to Long Haochen in a low voice.

Long Haochen looked in the direction he was pointing. Due to the misty clouds on the top of the mountain, and the lack of light at night, even with his eyesight he still couldn’t see anything.

Han Yu said: “The Evil Eye discovered it. There seems to be a large number. But it’s far away, so I can’t tell if it’s our people or demons.”

After thinking for a moment, Long Haochen said: “Let the Evil Eye fly closer to scout, at least to scout whether these people are infiltrating into the Demon Subduing Mountain Range or going out.”
