Chapter 505 Did we go the wrong way?
After the three Demon Emperors and their subordinates followed Xiao You and Xiong Yuxuan into the Lingxiao Treasure Vault, they saw that the gate was filled with dense demonic mist.
Just by looking at the sheer number of demons, the Demon Emperors could sense in their hearts just how terrifying the power of those demon gods from another world was.
Yu Xuan led them forward, keeping a few steps apart, and the Blood Moon Demon Emperor and the others felt that Yu Xuan's figure was becoming somewhat blurry.
Seeing that Yu Xuan had walked a while and then quickened his pace until his figure was almost disappearing into the demonic mist, the Blood Moon Demon Emperor hurriedly said, "Yu Xuan, slow down."
Yu Xuan seemed not to hear him and instead walked even faster.
The three Demon Emperors immediately sensed something was wrong. The Soul-Devouring Demon Emperor was furious and cursed loudly as he chased after Yu Xuan, reaching out to grab him from behind.
The Blood Moon Demon Emperor and the Overturning Heaven Demon Emperor retreated.
Even as the Blood Moon Demon Emperor retreated, he didn't forget to call out to the Soul Devouring Demon Emperor.
"Soul Devourer, stop chasing, retreat."
However, after he and the Overturning Demon Emperor retreated a few steps, they could no longer see the Soul Devouring Demon Emperor. The demonic mist in the entire Lingxiao Treasure Vault became even denser.
At first, the two of them could still hear the Soul Devouring Demon Emperor cursing Yu Xuan, but after taking a few steps back, they could no longer hear the Soul Devouring Demon Emperor's voice.
What's even stranger is that when the Blood Moon Demon Emperor and the Overturning Heaven Demon Emperor retreated, they discovered that all the demon subordinates who had been following them, along with the fierce demon named Shu Cheng, had disappeared without a trace.
It should be noted that all the subordinates of the three Demon Emperors were Demon Saints, including many high-ranking Demon Saints, and several of them were already at the ninth rank of the Heavenly Realm.
How could twenty or thirty high-level demon cultivators just disappear silently in such a short time?
Even more terrifying is that these demons vanished without a trace, and neither the Blood Moon Demon Emperor nor the Overturning Heaven Demon Emperor were aware of it.
At this moment, the two Demon Emperors already knew that things had changed drastically, and they no longer cared about searching for their subordinates. The Blood Moon Demon Emperor said, "We have never been to the Lingxiao Treasure Vault before, and we don't know what kind of magic array is inside. From now on, you and I must advance and retreat together. Let's get out of the treasure vault first."
The Demon Emperor nodded and said in a low voice, "We must not go more than three steps apart. In a place like this, we must never be alone."
Before he could finish speaking, the Blood Moon Demon Emperor tore a piece of cloth from his golden cloak and handed one end to him, saying, "Even three steps isn't safe. The Demon Saints disappeared too mysteriously."
The Overturning Heaven Demon Emperor didn't react for a moment. After taking one end of the strip of cloth, he stared blankly at the Blood Moon Demon Emperor.
It wasn't until the Blood Moon Demon Emperor tugged at the other end of the cloth in his hand that the Overturning Heaven Demon Emperor realized what was going on and said somewhat awkwardly, "Is it really necessary to go this far?"
"of course."
The Blood Moon Demon Emperor said decisively.
And so, the two Demon Emperors, holding onto the cloth strips, cautiously walked step by step toward the direction of the treasure vault's entrance, which they remembered.
Even though they walked slowly and were extremely cautious, they walked for a long time toward the treasure vault gate but still did not reach the gate.
The Overturning Heaven Demon Emperor stopped first, followed by the Blood Moon Demon Emperor.
The Demon Emperor of Overturning Heaven tugged at the strip of cloth in his hand, his face turning quite grim.
"I remember we only walked about twenty or thirty steps in, but now we've walked back about forty steps. Have we gone the wrong way?"
At this moment, the demonic mist had become extremely dense. Even though the Blood Moon Demon Emperor was standing no more than three steps away from the Overturning Heaven Demon Emperor, the Overturning Heaven Demon Emperor could no longer see the expression on the Blood Moon Demon Emperor's face.
After the Overturning Heaven Demon Emperor finished speaking, the Blood Moon Demon Emperor seemed to think for a moment before saying, "The direction is right, the distance is right, but the gate is gone."
"The front door is gone?"
"I am surprised," the Overturning Demon Emperor said. He turned his head to try to see the expression on the Blood Moon Demon Emperor's face, but the demonic mist was so thick that he could only see the general outline of the Blood Moon Demon Emperor's face.
"Don't say anything yet. Let's think back carefully and see if we went the wrong way when we came out."
The Blood Moon Demon Emperor's voice rang out once more.
The Overturning Demon Emperor then fell silent, and began to recall in his mind the direction and distance his demons had traveled as soon as they entered the treasure vault.
After a few breaths, he spoke with certainty: "It's just as you said, the direction is right, the distance is right, it's just that the gate is gone."
"Yes, I'm sure of that too."
"How about we walk a little further ahead and take a look, remembering the number of steps and the direction? If it's still not right, we'll go back."
