Xiao Che was waiting for Xiao Qian, the emperor of the Qingxuan Empire, to summon him here in Dongfangye.

Sark City was already in a panic. It's just that this matter has not been known to outsiders, after all, Lord Sark has already spoken to close Sark City, and this matter will naturally not spread to the outside world.

Lord Sark is also very helpless, his idea is very good, since the matter has happened, he must find out, after all, it is impossible to hide the disappearance of more than 10,000 people. He thought about waiting for the results to be found out, and then report to Emperor Yu of Northern Yan, but Lord Sark, who had always been wise for so many years, would not have thought that things were not under his control at all.

At the same time, in a hidden area in the endless vast sea west of Sack City, the space here is so strange that if you are seen from afar, it is like seeing a mirage. This is also a phenomenon that occurs in the desert.

But at this time, these scenes are real. Right here, there's a castle that's pitch black throughout. The aura emanating from this castle is very oppressive. If Xiao Che was here, he would definitely know about this oppressive aura. Exclusive to the demons.

At this time, tens of thousands of people were held in the underground prison in this ancient castle. If you look closely, some of these people are martial artists, and the rest are mages. These people are none other than these days, and it is these days that the missing population of Sark City, men, women, and children are quite complete.

The people who guarded them had a strange appearance, and although they looked like people, the aura was definitely not possessed by humans. These human-like creatures give people the feeling that they are very powerful, and although most of the cultivation of these guards is in the Venerable realm, they can still give the people of Sark City a strong feeling.

This feeling comes from the arrogance in their bones, needless to say that their identity is about to come out, that is, the demon race.

The imprisoned people of Sark City were very weak and languishing, and they could not do anything to cultivate. It's all because when they were caught, they were injected with something strange, which went directly into their veins, causing them to lose their cultivation and be like ordinary people.

They were not detained all at once, but were sent in batches by different people. Whether it was brought in early or just sent, blood was drawn. Although the guards did not seem to take any extreme measures against them, there was no shortage of hard bones who were executed on the spot. The methods of these demons are extremely ruthless. There will never be a penny left behind.

The imprisoned people also know in their hearts that although the demons still have their lives alive now, it must be because they still have use value. That is, blood is drawn from time to time. Although they didn't know what the demons were doing with their blood, they knew very well that it was not a good thing. But there's nothing they can do now.

After all, it's people who are swordsmen, and I'm fish and meat.

This underground prison is very spacious, and the demons have converted it into large cages, each cage holds fifty people, and there are hundreds of such cages. As a result, there are still quite a few cages that are empty. And next to these cages, there are two demon guards, guarding them twenty-four hours a day. That's hundreds. Although these people are locked inside, they are still able to talk.

At first, they were all very quiet, but then they found that these demon guards didn't pay attention to them at all, and gradually some of them became emboldened. Even in the power inside, those demons didn't pay any attention to it, and even had some disgust for these humans between their eyebrows.

However, the demons are not completely indifferent, if someone has the action of running away or even speaking, once they are discovered, they will be killed on the spot. Therefore, no one dares to think like this anymore.

There are even people who want to escape, who are told secrets, and they end up in ashes. On the other hand, the whistleblower had nothing to do, which made many people give up the idea of escaping, and within a few days, these people became like walking corpses.

Those demons obviously wanted this effect, so the two sides remained calm. Didn't even bother each other.

Occasionally, though, the demons would take some people out of their cages, and those who were taken away never came back.

Although the people of Sax City who were locked up inside were numb, they were not stupid, and if they thought about it, they knew that those who did not come back were afraid that they would never come back. Therefore, no one wants to be the one who is taken away. Although they had guessed their fate from the time they came in, for them, it was better to die than to live, and to live one day at a time.

There are even many people who take the initiative to curry favor with the demon guards. These demon guards are not like iron stones, they are also intelligent beings. Naturally, there are also preferences of their own. For example, there is a demon guard who likes to listen to strange stories. Coincidentally, one of the fifty people he guarded was particularly good at telling strange stories, so it was only natural that the Sark man would live longer. Every time someone else is taken away, the demon will never choose him.

This made the Sark man also the highest status in the cage. Seeing that this method was so effective, the clever people of Sark City who were imprisoned all tried their best to protect the demon clan. In order to allow myself to live longer, even if it is just one more day.

In fact, for those demons, these people in Sark City are simply like pigs and dogs. To the demons, they are nothing more than their own test subjects. In order to let a wizard with a high status in the demon race do the experiment. Find out how to deal with the Terrans.

In the Demon Race, the status of wizards is very high. The wizards of the demon race are not only doctors, pharmacists, but also poisoners and mages. This is because in the Demon Race, these are not particularly detailed at all. The first thing that can become a wizard is talent, and the second is practice. In the Demon Clan, every wizard can not only refine medicine to save people, but also make poison to hurt people. They are also mages who practice spells themselves.

Therefore, the status of every wizard in the demon race is very high. What's more, one of the leaders of the Demon Race, the Witch Demon Emperor, is the most powerful wizard of the Demon Race.

In this castle, the high-ranking wizard who used the people of Sark City as an experiment had some relationship with the Witch Emperor.

He is also the highest-ranking person in this demon castle. This time he's here on a mission. The experiment he did was to prepare for the next demon army to attack the human race. If his experiment was to succeed, it would be a very fatal disaster for the Terrans, with a huge spread of the world.

More than 10,000 people were his test subjects.

At this time, a team of explorers from Sark City was caught up in a black sandstorm and accidentally arrived not far from here, and saw this mirage-like castle. The leader of this team was obviously a very experienced veteran of exploration, and although he only had the cultivation of the Venerable Realm, he quickly noticed the unusual place in this space.

Therefore, he hurriedly sent someone back, and then led someone to investigate.

Although his instincts told him that this place was dangerous and that he should leave, the responsibility on his shoulders forced him to make the decision to continue exploring.

Soon he was near the castle.

The pitch-black castle stood out in the yellow sand, and the aura emanating from the castle made the entire team extremely uncomfortable.

The cultivation of those team members was all in the three-day realm, so naturally they didn't understand why. But as the captain of the Venerable Realm, he was naturally able to know that it was all because the aura of this castle was too amazing, and the fluctuations it emitted were definitely not owned by the human race.

That's why I feel that strong rejection. As a Venerable Realm martial artist, he naturally knew more than those team members. Soon he thought of the boiling demons that had been rumored recently.

This made him break out in a cold sweat. If this is what he thinks, then all he has to do now is to evacuate this place immediately, return to Lord Sark, and let Lord Sark decide what to do.

But just as he was about to evacuate, the door to the castle suddenly opened. There are human-looking creatures inside, and although they resemble people, their eyes are completely black, without the whites of their eyes, and their hair is mostly purple, green, and red. Seeing this, the captain still doesn't understand, these are the legendary demons.

Recently, he has also read a lot of information and intelligence about the demons, and since the news of the invasion of the demons has been made public, the top supremes of the human race have spared no effort to popularize the information of the demons. Although the time is still short, it has not yet reached the point where the whole people are familiar with the demons. However, the captain, as a Venerable Realm martial artist, is also the person in charge of the investigation, so he naturally knows the details of the demon race.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he already knew that this was the fortress of the demon race. However, he never thought that the demon race had already built such a huge castle here, and the time to sneak into the human race was not short. And they are the closest to Sark City, but they haven't heard anything about it. Read a book for a long time

If it weren't for the fact that so many people disappeared at once, which made Lord Sark angry, the explorers of Sark City poured out, and their team encountered a black sandstorm, they would not have discovered this place.

This captain was born in Sark City since he was a child, and when he grew up, he traveled the rivers and lakes in order to practice martial arts. It can be said that he is very knowledgeable, and when he returned from cultivation, he took refuge under the command of Lord Sark and became an explorer.

Because Sark City is connected to the endless sea, he is naturally very familiar with this place. Although he had encountered the black sandstorm before, he had calculated and knew exactly where he was now. There was nothing wrong with him going back to Sark, or even coming back here.

Now his only worry is that his team will be discovered by these demons.

Although this was also the first time he had seen the demons, he also knew how powerful the demons were. There is a saying that the demon race is invincible at the same level.

This is more than just words.

In order to let all mankind know the horror of the demons, those supremes can be said to have worked hard, and some supremes even compiled a booklet, which recorded the real battle between the human race and the demon beast race and the demon race. These battles are mainly for those Terran powerhouses who have some fame. For example, it is recorded in the book that the battle between a well-known supreme seven-rank kendo supreme and a demon supreme of the same level in history can be said to be a fiasco.

Although most of them are examples of the human race being defeated by the demon race, there are also stories that can calm people's hearts, that is, Xiao Xuan suppressed the entire demon race with his own strength, and there are many glorious achievements of the peak powerhouse of the very famous Supreme Nine Grades in history against the demons.

These brochures are sold cheaply, and they are basically charged a fee. The most important thing is that this kind of booklet is required to be purchased compulsorily, and it must be one for every adult, even if it is a minor, and it must be told by a parent.

The reason why this kind of thing is done is to let people know the horror of the demons and have confidence in fighting the demons.

As the captain of the Venerable Realm, he naturally remembered this book well.

It is also mentioned in the book that in the face of demons of the same level, it is best not to fight, and avoid it if you can. If you encounter a demon clan that is weaker than your own cultivation, you can attack according to the situation.

Now the weakest of these demons in front of him are also in the Venerable Realm, which makes him very panicked. After all, his team members are all under the Venerable realm, and once they are discovered, there is basically no chance of survival.

Originally, he had already warned every member of the team, but he was still not at ease. In the end, one way to get along was to bury these people, including themselves, in the sand.

In this way, as long as it is not unlucky, it is still difficult to be discovered by the demons. Fortunately, although these team members are all martial artists under the Supreme Realm, their cultivation is also in the Three-day Realm, and even at the two levels of the Tongtian Realm and the Hetian Realm, if they hold their breath, they can hold on for a long time.

And so they sank into the sea of sand as he had said.

I don't know how long it took, but there were no accidents, and the captain estimated that those demons had left, so he quietly surfaced, and it was very safe to look around, and then all the team members were aroused.

Those team members were also very uncomfortable. Although they are martial artists, they are also very depressing in the sand, not to mention that each of them is afraid in their hearts, for fear of revealing the slightest flaw, or being unlucky to be discovered by the demons. There is no one who does not fear for their net worth and life.

The good thing is that the worst they thought of didn't come. Now that they were no longer able to investigate, all they had to do was make it back to Sark City.

The way back is not so easy, although as the captain, he has calculated the location of this place and knows how to go back, the only thing he is worried about now is to meet the previous group of demons. Although he didn't know where those demons were going, looking at their direction, it was very likely that they were heading to Sark City.

By now, he had basically been able to determine that the missing people in Sark City were related to these demons.

He led his team members cautiously forward, and he was also terrified along the way. This is especially true of the players.

Everything went very smoothly on the way home. However, just as they breathed a sigh of relief, something unexpected happened.

Not far away, a sharp-eyed team member spotted a group of corpses lying next to the sand dunes not far away, and judging by their appearance and clothing, they were members of the Shack City team who were on the same mission as them.

Although they didn't know each other, as the captain, he also understood that these people must have met those demons before. The viciousness of these demons made each of them extremely angry. None of the corpses were intact, and if you didn't count them carefully, you couldn't tell how many there were. Severed arms and stumps are scattered in the dunes like discarded garbage. As a member of the same kind, no one will feel good when they see it.

As the captain, he must consider the safety of his team members and himself, and he hurriedly sent people to occupy the high ground around the sand dunes and set up observation points to prevent the demons from appearing. He took the rest of the people and gathered the mutilated bodies together and buried them in the sand.

Although this may seem inappropriate, there is only one thing they can do at the moment, otherwise if they burn it, in case of smoke, it will be easily visible in the desert, and then it will reveal their location, which is very dangerous.

That's all they can do.

The demon team that went to Sark City didn't know that there would be a Sark City exploration team behind them, and they already knew the location of their fortress. This time, they received an order from the noble wizard to capture some Terran babies and return them for the purpose of experimentation.

The demons claim to be a noble race, and other races are very lowly to the demons. After all, the earliest ruler of this world was the demons. At that time, all the current clans were all slaves of the demon race. It's just that heaven and earth circulate, all things are born together, and the reproduction ability of the rest of the ten thousand races is stronger than that of the demon race, plus the predecessors of the ten thousand races are good at learning, and they take the demon race as their teacher, and each has created a martial arts system suitable for the cultivation of their own race.

This is what allows them to rebel against the demons. After a long battle of the Ten Thousand Races, the Ten Thousand Races truly freed themselves from the hands of the demons. For all races, the demon race is still that terrifying and terrifying big thing. Although the current demon clan only accounts for half of the resources in the Tianxuan Realm, in fact, the strength of the demon clan is getting stronger and stronger.

The reason why the demon race was able to enslave all races in the first place was entirely because the demon race arrived at the beginning of the Tianxuan Realm. And the ten thousand races are the native races of the Heavenly Xuan Realm.

In this way, the demons are considered invaders. It's just that at that time, the native race of the Tianxuan Realm was too weak to resist the demon race, which allowed the demon race to monopolize the Tianxuan Realm for so many years.

In fact, the demon race has its own place, called the demon world. And the reproduction ability of the demons themselves is not bad. It's just that as an intruder, the demon race has never been truly recognized by the Xuantian Realm. They are able to survive here, but they are severely deprived of the ability to reproduce. This is related to the rules of the Heavenly Xuan Realm itself.

This made the demon clan finally reluctant to withdraw from half of the Heavenly Xuan Realm and give it to all races.

However, with the number of demons in the Tianxuan Realm, even half of the resources are enough for them to squander, and they are developing very well. Even now, the demons have reached a real bottleneck. Now the resources of the Heavenly Xuan Realm occupied by the demons are almost unable to meet the development of the demons.

This made the demons regain their minds. However, this time, the demon race did not want to start a full-scale war with the ten thousand races at all, but gradually encroached on the ten thousand races starting from the human race and the demon beast race.
