"After you enter, make sure to conceal your Life Aura and do not let the Devil Clan inside detect your presence! Do not speak at all, and make sure to follow my hand gestures! There is a very good chance that there is a Devil Clan member with a Cultivation at the Demon Saint Realm inside, so you must be very clear that it would be very easy for a Devil Clan member of the Demon Saint Level to eliminate you. Perhaps with a casual wave of their hand, they could reduce all of you to ashes! After entering, do not casually speak, and make sure to conceal any Qi emanating from your bodies, understand?"
Elder Wan repeatedly warned, reminding people not to speak rashly, to communicate using secret sound transmission, and to pay attention to his hand signals for attacking or retreating.
Those Martial Artists naturally understood how unfavorable the situation was for them; how would they dare to create noise in a place where there might be a Demon Clan member of the Demon Saint Realm.
They knew that if they really did that, it would be nothing short of seeking death!
After everything was explained, Elder Wan then led the team to move forward cautiously.
Once everyone entered the underground cave and had proceeded for a bit, Duan Gujin sensed a faint Qi fluctuation in the Void on the left.
Despite the subtlety of the Qi, with his exceptional Spiritual Power, he accurately pinpointed the source of the Qi.
"It's the Red Fierce Monkey! It's hiding right here!"
Duan Gujin inhaled sharply, knowing that the Red Fierce Monkey was Zhao Wuji's beloved pet. The fact that it was present here meant that Zhao Wuji could very well be hiding in the vicinity.
Thinking of this, his heart started to beat violently once again.
A thought flashed through his mind: if he landed a fatal blow on Zhao Wuji now, could the future God and Demon War be averted?
Various possibilities ran through his mind, but in the end, he abandoned this thought.
For some reason, he always felt there were many unusual implications behind this.
A sense of ominous premonition crossed his mind once again; initially, he felt that the dreadful premonition had disappeared, but just now, it had returned and grew intensively strong once more.
"Elder Wan, I have detected the Red Monkey nearby, please have everyone prepare for it in case the Red Monkey attempts a surprise attack on us!"
Duan Gujin quickly transmitted his message to Elder Wan.
He knew the situation was urgent; he must inform Elder Wan about the presence of the Red Fierce Monkey.
Upon hearing Duan Gujin's transmission, Elder Wan expanded his Divine Sense, and after a while, he sensed some unusual energy fluctuations in the nearby Void.
However, for a moment, he couldn't determine whether those energy fluctuations were indeed from the Red Fierce Monkey, prompting a hint of doubt about Duan Gu's claim.
"Although he is much stronger than the average young person, how could he have detected the Red Monkey's presence? It makes no sense at all! My cultivation is at the Martial Emperor Realm, and even I can't detect the Red Monkey's presence; how could he have done it?"
Elder Wan's eyes flickered, and he then inquired Duan Gujin about how he determined the Red Monkey's presence.
"Intuition!"
Duan Gujin exhaled a breath of turbid air, explaining through sound transmission.
After hearing Duan Gujin's explanation, the corner of Elder Wan's mouth twitched; he thought that Duan Gujin might very well be lying.
He instantly became somewhat doubtful about Duan Gujin.
Elder Wan was a person prone to suspicion; that was just his nature.
As Elder Wan was contemplating this, suddenly, there came a piercing scream from one of the Martial Artists ahead.
Hearing that one of the Martial Artists had let out a piercing scream, Elder Wan became furious. He had previously instructed the Martial Artists entering the cave not to make any noises.
Now, contrary to that, a Martial Artist had let out a deafening scream, which was intolerable for Elder Wan and others.
They quickly looked toward the Martial Artist who had emitted the piercing scream, originally wanting to teach him a lesson.
But in the next moment, they saw a red figure flash by in front of them, and a Martial Artist touched his neck with his right hand, his complexion pale and bloodless.
Elder Wan immediately recognized that the red figure was the Red Monkey, and some Martial Artists present also recognized that it was the Red Monkey.
After a while, that Martial Artist stopped breathing.
Elder Wan inhaled sharply, coming to a sudden realization.
"So that Martial Artist was bitten by that Red Monkey!"
Everyone turned to look at the Martial Artist whose blood had been sucked dry by the Red Monkey, and red hair began to grow on his body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
All the Martial Artists instantly felt an overwhelming fear, quickly moving their bodies away, not wanting to come into contact with the body that had turned into a Red Monkey.
"Dang it! There really is a Red Monkey here!"
Elder Wan immediately felt an immense fear, and he quickly asked the other Martial Artists to retreat back to the entrance of the underground cave.
The other three Sect Elders had not previously seen the Red Monkey, and they secretly communicated with Elder Wan to find out what exactly was going on with the Red Monkey.
Elder Wan promptly told them about the events that had happened, and after hearing them, all three were dumbfounded.
"What kind of Devil Clan is that Red Monkey? Why is it so terrifying?"
The three Sect Elders racked their brains for a good while but couldn't recall which Devil Clan the Red Monkey belonged to.
After discussing for a while, they decided to give up on this adventure.
"We should leave it to the higher-ups in the Martial Saint Realm to deal with the Red Monkey!"
The four Sect Elders knew their own strength was truly insufficient to confront the Red Monkey. They had only sensed its presence before and couldn't pinpoint its location because it moved too fast.
For them, if the Red Monkey kept hiding in the underground cave, it would be very difficult to track its whereabouts.
If they were not careful and got bitten by the Red Monkey, their fate would be the same as the bitten Martial Artist: their blood would be nearly instantaneously sucked dry by the Red Monkey, leaving behind a ghastly corpse.
Thinking of this outcome, fear surged in the hearts of Elder Wan and the others.
Seeing the expressions on the faces of Elder Wan and the others, Duan Gujin deduced that they must really be scared.
He sighed internally, knowing that if there was a Red Monkey inside the underground cave, all of them rushing in might result in total annihilation.
And if that Ghost God-fearing Ultimate Demon Emperor Zhao Wuji was also in that underground cave, then even if their numbers were increased tenfold, they would not be a match for Zhao Wuji.
Duan Gujin breathed a sigh of relief; he did not want to be a pointless sacrifice.
15 minutes later, the people returned to the surface.
Elder Wan immediately asked everyone to recuperate nearby, and they would wait here for reinforcements.
One day later, two teams joined up with them.
After discussing, the seven Sect Elders of the Blood Killing Sect came to a conclusion.
"The Demon Saint Treasure might just be in the black hole up ahead!"
Having had an encounter with the Red Monkey, Elder Wan really did not want to go down and face off against it again. He judged that he was probably not a match for the Red Monkey, and he could only pin his hopes on the Martial Saint level experts within the Blood Killing Sect.
Thus, they could only wait here for the arrival of the Martial Saint Realm experts from the Blood Killing Sect.
