Chapter 878: Searching Again, Beneath the Demon Abyss

Qin Xiao had paid little attention to the village after its people left. They were weak and posed no threat to him.

Now things were different. If they had found some extraordinary opportunity or undergone another change, he needed to be ready. He decided to look for them.

Since the people of the Demon Abyss Village were all Demonic Cultivators, they could not possibly leave the Demon Abyss entirely and would surely remain hidden somewhere in its vicinity.

With Qin Xiao’s current speed, conducting a search would hardly prove difficult.

More importantly, he had brought Da Ling, now numbered Ling Ling Three. It was the village’s former demon god and could sense its people within a certain range.

Over the past six months and more, under the dual nourishment of Spirit-Nurturing Liquid and Demon Crystals, Da Ling had successfully reached its Adult Form, while all the other Demon Spirits had advanced to the Sub-Adult Form or higher.

Qin Xiao deliberately excluded the area mapped out by Shen Wutian from his search.

After all, if he were in their shoes, anyone with a shred of sense would avoid such an obvious flaw. That route was most likely a deliberate setup designed to mislead pursuers.

Consequently, Qin Xiao began his search directly to the left of the route’s starting point.

The original settlement of the Demon Abyss Village lay to the right, but their journey had originated from the left, making it highly probable that they had fled in that direction.

He spent more than a day roughly searching the area to the left, but found no clues.

Demonic Qi from the abyss had left few large immortal plants in the area. With Da Ling sensing for him, he needed no detailed search: a change in the surroundings or a reaction from Da Ling would tell him where to look. Yet he found nothing.

“It seems I overthought things. Those fellows simply fled toward the right instead.”
