Firstly, they must not expose their identities.
If the Demon Clan finds out that there are Human Clan intruders outside right now, it goes without saying that the five Martial Saints would be in a heap of trouble; the Bai Mu Tribe would surely come out in full force.
Once the opposition emerges in full force, their side would be in dire straits.
Although the Bai Mu Tribe is just one among many Demon Clan Tribes, this tribe far surpasses their participating contestant team both in the number of Martial Saint-level experts and in the number of experts at the Martial Emperor Realm.
Capturing the leader first is certainly a good strategy, but even ten Martial Saints joining forces might not be enough to capture the Bai Mu Leader.
For a moment, the five Martial Saints looked troubled and wore grim expressions.
Duan Gujin pondered for a while, then exhaled and said, "Everyone, stay calm. Let me forcibly read the memories of these four members of the Demon Clan first."
Duan Gujin immediately proceeded to destroy the meridians of the four Demon Clan members, crippling their Cultivation.
Afterward, he forcefully read their memories.
After spending more than four hours, he finally found some valuable clues from the memory of one Demon Clan member.
"So it turns out that the leaders of the Demon Clan are going to attend the once-in-a-decade birthday celebration of the Eagle King Demon Saint the day after tomorrow!"
According to that Demon Clan member's memory, he knew that the Bai Mu Leader would lead a large group of talented members from the tribe to leave the tribe and proceed to the territory of the Eagle King Demon Saint.
The Bai Mu Leader had no choice but to participate in this birthday celebration and had to carefully prepare a birthday gift as well.
Every ten years, the Eagle King Demon Saint would summon all the leaders of the Demon Clan Tribes for a birthday celebration.
Every time this day arrived, it was a painful day for the leaders of the Demon Clan Tribes.
According to the Eagle King Demon Saint's rules, they must hand over a certain proportion of Treasures.
Should any Demon Clan Tribe dare not to hand over Treasures as stipulated, it would be considered a sign of disrespect to the Eagle King Demon Saint and would be punished severely.
Generally speaking, the leader of that Demon Clan Tribe would be eliminated, and the members of that Demon Clan Tribe would be distributed to other Demon Clan Tribes to serve as slaves.
Although there were occasional rumors of Demon Clan Tribes rebelling against the Eagle King Martial Saint, in the end, it would be the Eagle King Demon Saint emerging victorious over these rebels.
And the Bai Mu Leader, knowing his strength was nowhere near that of the Eagle King Demon Saint, had been digging for valuable treasures in the lake for a long time.
Fortunately, that lake was the Bai Mu Leader's blessed land, and almost every year that Bai Mu Leader had a bountiful harvest, enough to have Treasures for the birthday gift to the Eagle King Demon Saint.
Everyone in the entire Demon Clan Tribe knew how stringent the Eagle King Demon Saint's demands were, but they could only acquiesce and agree.
They knew their strength was far inferior to the Eagle King Demon Saint, and could only let him commit his atrocities.
Duan Gujin immediately informed the other four Martial Saints of this news. After hearing it, they inhaled sharply.
"Are we going to ambush the Bai Mu Leader on the way then?"
Ning Tiancheng said.
His eyes flickered, unable to determine whether Duan Gujin's words were true or false. He couldn't understand the language of the Demon Clan, and it was only after seeing Duan Gujin execute Soul-searching Techniques that he believed the latter could understand the Demon Clan.
Since Duan Gujin had dealt with the Demon Clan in his past life, he naturally knew the language of the Demon Clan.
"Ambush on the way?"
Duan Gujin's eyes flickered as he carefully recalled the information provided by the five Demon Clan members, feeling that an ambush was indeed a very good method.
"However, I don't know how many experts the Bai Mu Leader has taken away from the Demon Clan Tribe; we can only stealthily monitor from aside!"
Duan Gujin said, and the four Martial Saints including Ning Tiancheng immediately agreed with his suggestion.
"Let's go back first! We have to take these five Demon Clan members away together so as not to reveal our tracks!"
Duan Gujin immediately pulled the five Demon Clan members and returned to the team with the other four Martial Saints.
After returning, he reported what had happened to another team of five Martial Saints, then he asked those five Martial Saints to lead the team further away so they wouldn't be discovered by the Demon Clan Tribe up ahead.
That other team of five Martial Saints immediately agreed and then they led the team, trying to keep as far away as possible from the Demon Clan Tribe at the front.
Duan Gujin, from the memories of those five Demon Clan members, found some of their memories of consuming human flesh, and decided to discard these five Demon Clan members to let them fend for themselves.
Of course, now was not the time for him to kill these five Demon Clan members.
"Do you think there are any treasures in the Demon Clan Tribe up ahead?"
Some Martial Artists quietly speculated, having never seen the Demon Clan, nor knowing what kind of Species the Demon Clan really is.
At this moment, what confused them the most was why the Demon Clan would appear on the Jiuzhou Continent.
Yan Dapang, hearing that Duan Gujin understood the language of the Demon Clan, suddenly became very curious. He quickly came to Duan Gujin and asked why the Demon Clan would appear on the Jiuzhou Continent.
"This Jiuzhou Continent can connect with the Hundred Saints Mountain, naturally also with the Demon Realm. The Demon Realm is to the north of the Jiuzhou Continent, and I believe you have also heard that there is a Demon Island there, which is the border between the Demon Realm and the Human Race World. The Jiuzhou Continent has always been rumored to have Demons there, and in fact, those so-called Demons are the Demon Clan! Sometimes, some fishermen on the sea vessels would be transported into the Domain of the Demon Clan by spacetime storms, and end up being eaten by the Demon Clan members! These five Demon Clan members had once feasted on human flesh! The flesh and blood of the Human Clan are absolutely delicious for them!"
Duan Gujin explained.
After hearing Duan Gujin's explanation, Yan Dapang felt a sudden chill in his heart.
"So, Demon Island is the boundary between the Demon Clan and the Human Clan!"
Although this statement was widespread across the Jiuzhou Continent, most Martial Artists who had not seen the Demon Clan firsthand didn't believe that there were truly Demon Clan members on Demon Island.
Moreover, the Demon Clan is to a large extent similar to the Devil Clan, therefore, many Demon Clan members are treated as if they belong to the Devil Clan.
"Does that mean we have no way to return to the Jiuzhou Continent?"
Yan Dapang became anxious.
Duan Gujin quickly told him: "To escape from here, we must find the convergence point between the Jiuzhou Continent and the Demon Realm."
"Why would the Jiuzhou Continent have something like Demon Island?"
Yan Dapang had heard some rumors before, but those were only rumors he heard in his boredom.
"Dimensional convergence; here at Jiuzhou Continent, there is energy that connects both with the Demon Domain and with the Devil Domain! Because the energy that connects with the Devil Domain is inside the Human Clan mainland, so it is known to the world, while inside this Demon Island, the energy of the rules is very unstable, with the Rule Power sometimes favoring the activities of the Human Clan and sometimes benefiting the activities of the Demon Clan! Simply put, it's very difficult to enter Demon Island, but to get out from here is very easy! It's like the monsoon, some winds only come from the south, and if you try to move south from the north, the difficulty increases significantly, it might even lead to Space Turbulence!"
Duan Gujin explained repeatedly.
"So that's how it is!"
After hearing Duan Gujin's words, Yan Dapang suddenly understood that Demon Island was such a terrifying place.
"So does that mean that as long as we can find a place close to the sea and then follow the direction of the ocean currents, we can then go home?"
Yan Dapang suddenly asked.
"Yes! What we need to do next is to find the direction of the sea here, and then leave by ship. We don't have a ship right now, but we can build one! Building a ship is not difficult; the difficulty lies in lacking the materials needed to build a ship!"
Duan Gujin nodded emphatically.
