Chapter 2553: Ninety-Eight Small Paths!

Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun watched the excited, blood-pumping crowd of demon cultivators, and their hearts settled a little. So what if Nüwa and Fuxi refused to submit? He still had plenty more people.

"Since everyone is in agreement, then let us set out for the Holy Lingshan! We shall reclaim Holy Lingshan!"

"Reclaim!"

"Reclaim!"

Deafening voices came from all directions of the demon court, and the entire demon race was in an uproar. The eyes of the Ten Great Demon Saints all gleamed with light, especially Shangyang and Qinyuan.

Gui Che and Fei Dan, however, had other schemes in mind. They too wanted to go to Holy Lingshan, but not in this manner.

Entering Holy Lingshan was indeed fine, but once inside, could they avoid clashing with the Wu race?

Only by preserving their own strength as much as possible could they enter Holy Lingshan. Gui Che had his own thoughts; he would have to wait for the fake Tianwu and Wengzi to return before deciding.

Fei Dan did not expose Gui Che. He merely showed a little less enthusiasm and went along with the Ten Great Demon Saints toward Holy Lingshan.

Donghuang Taiyi glanced at him twice. "Big brother, you need to keep a close eye on Fei Dan. Something seems off about him."

"Alright. Fei Dan probably harbors some resentment. The matter of letting Nüwa and Fuxi go has stuck in his heart like a thorn. I'll keep an eye on him."

Donghuang Taiyi, however, felt that the look in Fei Dan's eyes had changed, and something unexpected might happen.

……

On the way to Holy Lingshan, Yun Zhongzi was dragged along by Kunpeng and managed to avoid many of the demon race's people, who were wandering about in all directions.

At this point, Yun Zhongzi was dragged by Kunpeng until he was completely dizzy. If he had come alone, he would surely have gotten lost inside.

But Kunpeng acted as if nothing was the matter, charging straight through, dodging not only the demon race's people but also numerous traps and mechanisms.

"Wait... wait!"

Yun Zhongzi really couldn't take it anymore. He immediately stopped, gasping for breath, and said: "Kunpeng... if we keep running like this, I'm afraid... I'm afraid we won't survive!"

Kunpeng looked at Yun Zhongzi somewhat speechlessly. Normally he thought Yun Zhongzi's cultivation was decent, but now Yun Zhongzi's stamina was truly terrible—worse than his own.

Yun Zhongzi felt the look in Kunpeng's eyes that seemed to say "enough is enough," and it made him uncomfortable inside, but he didn't say much, after all, Kunpeng really did need to take him to find the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree.

"Fine, then let's rest for a bit. We've already reached the outer perimeter of Holy Lingshan. Once we pass through the ninety-eight minor paths, we'll be able to enter the depths of Holy Lingshan."

"Ninety-eight minor paths?"

Yun Zhongzi stared at Kunpeng in horror. He had never expected it would take so long.

"Is there a problem? Holy Lingshan itself has an extremely complex terrain. If we wanted to charge straight in, we could, but it would inevitably lead to a fierce battle."

Kunpeng explained in detail: "We need to preserve our strength. Otherwise, when we face the Great Emperor of Longevity later, we might not be able to defeat him at all, so how could we possibly obtain the Seven-Treasure Wonderful Tree?"

Hearing Kunpeng's words, Yun Zhongzi also felt it made sense, but right now he didn't know what to say.

The Ancestor of the Ancestor Minghe had told them that the two of them didn't know what intentions they harbored.

Could it be that the Ancestor of the Ancestor Minghe wanted to let the snipe and the clam fight, so the fisherman could reap the benefit?

Thinking of this, Yun Zhongzi also kept a watchful eye. He checked the items on Kunpeng's person, then checked the items on his own person. Finding nothing unusual, he felt at ease.
