Chapter 853

Sensing the aura of the Demon Clan again, Chen Ang couldn't help but frown.

This level of the Sin Prison was not much different from theirs; he didn't expect the Demon Clan on this level to be so active.

As the sky grew dark, Chen Ang's gaze became vigilant.

Walking at the very front, he instructed those behind him, "This is an active zone for the Demon Clan. Everyone must be careful, walk in a group, and no one should act alone. If something happens, notify the others in time. Even if you are suspicious, you must speak up. Now, it's better to be safe than sorry."

Everyone understood what he meant, so they nodded one after another to agree.

Walking in the active zone of the Demon Clan, Chen Ang was always very cautious.

Until a glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The sky was bright; the Demon Clan probably wouldn't come out to act. Even if they did, their abilities would be suppressed, which was all benefit and no harm to them.

Finding a place with a weaker aura, Chen Ang sat directly on the ground.

"Everyone rest for a while. It's about half a day's journey to An Xinyi's side now. Let's rest for a while, then rush over in one go."

After hearing his words, everyone sat down one after another.

Sitting beside him, Wan Shitong frowned tightly and said, "Boss, this isn't very far from our place, only one level apart. Why is the active range of the Demon Clan so different?"

Thinking about it, Chen Ang said, "Perhaps there is a barrier between the two levels, and it's not easy for the Demon Clan to cross, so they can only be active on this level."

"But the Demon Clan was also very active when we were in the depths of the Sin Prison before, just like now. It takes several days to walk from the depths of the Sin Prison to here, so why didn't the barrier stop them?"

Hearing his question, Chen Ang rubbed his temples.

"I can't figure these things out right now either; even if you ask me, I can't give you a definite answer."

Seeing that he seemed to have a headache, Wan Shitong obediently closed his mouth.

"Boss, I won't ask anymore. Let's find the answer ourselves."

"Yes, we'll talk about it later. Now, resting well and rushing to An Xinyi's side is what's important. As for what the situation is here, he will naturally inform us when we get there."

Actually, Chen Ang was also confused, but he intuitively felt that things shouldn't be that simple, so he couldn't draw a conclusion and could only speak vaguely.

After all, besides Wan Shitong, there were also Li Lao's people. If he said too much or said it wrong, it would inevitably lead to misunderstandings. He didn't want to stir up any emotions because of a few words, so it was best to keep his mouth shut for now; he was very clear about this.

As Chen Ang and the others moved forward, an aura came from afar.

Sensing the strong aura, Chen Ang instantly became vigilant.

Blocking the people beside him, he lowered his voice and said, "Someone is approaching us; everyone hide."

Hearing this, everyone hurriedly acted and found hiding places one after another.

After everyone was hidden, Chen Ang scanned with his gaze and didn't see anyone exposed. Only then did he pull Wan Shitong and hide behind a giant rock.

Wan Shitong wanted to poke his head out from behind, but was patted by Chen Ang.

"Be careful, don't expose yourself. There are more than just the two of us now."

Understanding what he meant, Wan Shitong obediently retracted his gaze, quietly sensing every move of the other party.

When he calmed down, Chen Ang released a wisp of aura.

After sensing it carefully, a look of doubt suddenly appeared on his face.

Just as Wan Shitong wanted to ask, Chen Ang suddenly stood up.

He suddenly appeared from behind the rock, and the person coming from afar was also startled. Subconsciously, the other party swung a palm, and a powerful aura headed straight for Chen Ang!

Sensing the fierce attack, Chen Ang pushed his palms forward, directly neutralizing half of the opponent's cultivation.

Turning his body, just as he was about to block the remaining aura, the person suddenly exerted force again. Only a bang was heard, and the remaining aura hit the rock, directly shattering it into pieces!

Amidst the smoke, Wan Shitong suddenly began to cough.

Remembering that he was still behind the rock, Chen Ang was shocked and ran toward him as soon as he lifted his legs.

Just then, Wan Shitong stood up and said complainingly while coughing, "Boss, why didn't you notify me when you made a move? I was almost smashed to death by the rock!"

Looking at his disheveled appearance, Chen Ang hurriedly checked him carefully. Seeing that he was safe and sound, he finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Sorry, I was a bit anxious just now, but I didn't expect them to make a move, so I neglected you."

Hearing Chen Ang's apology and seeing the worry in his eyes, Wan Shitong could only wave his hand helplessly.

"Forget it, forget it, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Just then, the person approached Chen Ang.

Wan Shitong was facing him, and seeing him coming in a hurry, he immediately blocked in front of Chen Ang.

"What are you doing? You still want to attack my Boss? You were the ones who threatened us first; don't force us to fight back!"

Hearing his words, the person waved his hands repeatedly.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding. We aren't here to attack you; everything just now was a misunderstanding."

After his voice fell, Chen Ang also reached out and pulled Wan Shitong.

"Don't be impatient. The move just now was like water flooding the Long Wang's temple; they aren't bad people. They are An Xinyi's people."

As soon as Chen Ang said this, Wan Shitong widened his eyes.

"Boss, what did you say? You said they are An Xinyi's people?"

"Yes, otherwise why would I say it was water flooding the Long Wang's temple? Both sides were very vigilant, and we hid ourselves. Just now I sensed their aura and stood up in a hurry. I didn't expect that I stood up too quickly and startled them, so they made a move subconsciously. I wanted to stop it, but I couldn't. Everything was a misunderstanding, don't be excited."

Hearing Chen Ang say this, the other party also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we have no malice; it was truly a misunderstanding just now."

Following An Xinyi's people, Chen Ang and the others successfully arrived at his mansion.

Arriving at a safe place, everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Walking all the way here, the aura of the Demon Clan had been lingering around them. Although the Demon Clan people never appeared, it still made them break into a sweat.

After all, the number of people who came this time was small, and they were not familiar with the situation here. No one wanted to make a move rashly. Fortunately, Chen Ang led them well, bringing them through the journey without any danger to arrive at An Xinyi's place, which made them exceptionally fortunate.

Just as everyone's mind stabilized, An Xinyi appeared.

Seeing Chen Ang, he was extremely excited and stepped forward to grab his hand.

"Chen Ang, why are you here?"

"I came to help you retrieve the Flame Stone. You said the next crystal decomposed would be given to me. Before I get the crystal, how could I let it fall into the hands of the Demon Clan?"

Hearing Chen Ang's words, a look of apology appeared on An Xinyi's face.

"Chen Ang, it's my fault for not protecting the Flame Stone well."

"It's not your fault. You have always taken the Flame Stone seriously. Now that it could fall into the hands of the Demon Clan, I guess they used some very despicable means."

Mentioning this, An Xinyi couldn't help but bite his back teeth tightly.

"You're right, their means were indeed despicable. To get the Flame Stone, the Demon Clan sent Demon Wolf this time. Demon Wolf is the most high-end Demon Clan person in the Demon King realm. He can transform into a human on his own and hide his aura to do dirty deeds! This time he also led many people above the Demon King realm and set up a net to come for my Flame Stone. I fell into their trap due to a moment of carelessness, which is why the Flame Stone was lost!"

"They lurked by your side?"

"Yes, they lurked by my side in the guise of businessmen to talk business with me. After gaining my trust, they began to enter and exit my mansion, which gave them the opportunity to succeed."

After thinking for a while, Chen Ang asked again, "Actually, I'm a bit confused. There is no Demon Clan on our level, but there are many above the Demon King realm on your level. Why is there such a big gap between the two levels?"

After hearing his words, An Xinyi sighed.

"Chen Ang, actually, except for the top level, the Demon Clan is very active on every level. Because the top level has a thicker Heaven and Earth Qi, it is not suitable for their cultivation, and even less suitable for their survival. So for self-preservation, they had to abandon that level."

"But the Ghost Clan is very active on that level."

"Although both clans are clans of darkness, they are not the same in essence. The Ghost Clan cannot stand the weather, but they can stand the Earth Qi. Earth Qi can nourish them, so they can take root. But the Demon Clan is different; Heaven and Earth Qi are both unfavorable to them, so they won't take risks."

After his explanation, Chen Ang finally understood what was going on.

Turning his head to look at Wan Shitong and the others, everyone also nodded at him.

They had studied this all the way, but there was never any result. Now, after An Xinyi's explanation, they finally understood.

Seeing them nod, Chen Ang retracted his gaze, looked at An Xinyi, and said, "No matter who the Demon Clan sent this time, we must get the Flame Stone back. On the way here, I felt the aura of the Demon Clan was exceptionally active. I guess they feel they have nothing to fear. In the next few days, I will find an opportunity to go out and investigate properly. Once there is an opportunity, I will make a move immediately."

When saying this, Chen Ang's expression was exceptionally firm, clearly having already made plans.

Knowing what Chen Ang was thinking, An Xinyi patted him on the shoulder twice.

"Chen Ang, I know you want to help me get the Flame Stone back, but this action cannot be reckless. The people sent by the Demon Clan this time are very strong; we must treat it with caution, otherwise, it will easily be more ominous than auspicious."

"I know, but time waits for no one. If we don't act as soon as possible, once they figure out the use of the Flame Stone, I'm afraid things will be uncontrollable."

Knowing what he was worried about, An Xinyi said softly, "There is a barrier on the Flame Stone, which was set up by Li Lao and me together. With the barrier there, they won't succeed easily, so we still have some time. Chen Ang, come with me for a moment."

After hearing his words, Chen Ang went with him.

After the two turned a few corners, Chen Ang saw a stone cave. ===== CHAPTER 854 =====
