Sparrows, turtledoves, and even pheasants are plentiful bird species in this mountain range. Many of them aren't even considered demons, yet they all attacked swiftly, pecking crazily at the protective barrier and clawing at it with all their might.

Sun Yuanjue's previously confident expression immediately became grave: "This isn't normal. We've never encountered a situation like this when we've ventured into the mountains to gather herbs."

"The Demon Race must be secretly ordering these birds to attack us."

Chief Steward Shen speculated.

Shen Wang, who was listening from behind, shifted his gaze slightly,

Demon Race...

This is a tribal group consisting of demon beasts whose organization is almost equivalent to that of human societies, possessing its own civilization, far more terrifying than scattered demon beasts.

Because the Demon Race has its organization, they no longer fight alone, collaborating as a team like humans and engaging in civilized exchanges.

In other words, the Demon Race is akin to demon beasts similar to humans, and with enough intelligence, they're more difficult to deal with than humans.

In terms of wisdom and strategy, the Demon Race isn't much inferior to humans. In terms of strength, although the Demon Race lacks magical artifacts, their physical bodies are powerful, with innate divine techniques. One-on-one, humans are often not their match.

The Sixth Prince involving himself with these troublesome beings is not entirely unexpected.

"Everyone, get ready to act; the barrier is about to break."

Chief Steward Shen reminded.

Just after he spoke, the spot attacked by a vulture cracked, and then the cracks on the barrier rapidly multiplied, shattering with a crisp sound.

The fierce birds didn't hesitate much, flapping their wings, immediately charging at the cultivators on the ship.

"Hmph."

Chief Steward Shen raised his hand, releasing a wave of cold air. The approaching fierce birds were frozen in mid-air, crashing onto the ship and breaking apart into icy chunks.

Sun Yuanjue's mana was like fire, burning fiercely after being released, causing the fierce birds to scream in agony, turning into charcoal upon landing.

The two, with one icy and one fiery, blocked most of the fierce birds.

Others either used magic or magical artifacts to kill the charging fierce birds.

Amidst various colored radiances, blood splattered, and feathers flew.

The strength of these fierce birds was indeed too weak, even when charging close, they posed no threat to anyone.

The ship smoothly passed through the flock, leaving behind many fallen bodies and feathers.

Shen Wang barely took action, while Silver Moon beside him released sharp edges, slicing many fierce birds into two halves before they even got close.

He merely glanced at a certain place, showing no expression.

Whoosh!

The ship swiftly flew over, continuing deeper into the Desolate Ancient Mountain Range.

Suddenly, the surroundings fell silent, with no danger visible for the moment.

This made everyone become tense instead.

There's bound to be demons when things seem abnormal.

Demons laying ambushes for humans is quite a common occurrence.

While everyone was on high alert, Shen Wang secretly used the Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror to survey the surroundings.

Since it was daytime, he employed the solar power to sense nearby, discovering the silhouettes of demons secretly lurking, not only in the forest but also underground.

Most of them had powers comparable to Little Demons, some were Great Demons, and there was only one Demon King, no stronger ones.

But what surprised him was that these demons were all retreating, not closing in for an attack.

The team successfully avoided these demons, only then did Shen Wang notice demons trailing them, not too fast or slow from behind.

Shen Wang couldn't help but recall a phrase.

"Invite the guest into the urn."

Are they deliberately letting us through, intending to capture us all at once?

"Chief Steward Shen, something seems off, these demons have always been hostile towards us, yet they're refraining from attacking right now. Perhaps there's a trap waiting for us ahead."

Sun Yuanjue expressed his unease.

"It seems they're quite confident, preparing to trap us completely?"

Chief Steward Shen sneered: "If they wanted to do this, why act earlier? They surely know the principle of not alerting the prey? Hmph, beasts will be beasts, they invariably show some flaws."

Hearing this, Shen Wang instead felt skeptical.

At that moment, a flame appeared in the distance, reaching the sky and blasting a gap in the clouds.

Those with strong spiritual power sensed a powerful wave ahead and all looked over.

Then, a thunderous rumble erupted, shaking the entire forest, leaving Shen Wang in astonishment. This power was immense, unlike anything cultivators would unleash.

He then expanded his perception through the Tai Chi Yin Yang Mirror, discovering the increase of Yang Qi a hundred miles away, similar to a volcanic eruption.

Buzz!

A Sound Transmission Talisman flew out from Chief Steward Shen, sending a message: "Shen Tianpei, come quickly, the Medicine Venerable's Cave Mansion of Flowing Light has appeared, we mustn't let these beasts snatch away the good items."

Sun Yuanjue was shocked, exclaiming: "Flowing Light Medicine Venerable!"

Shen Wang was also surprised.

In this cultivation world, those who dare to call themselves Venerable are naturally top-tier figures, surpassing Nascent Soul True Monarchs, being Divinity Transformation Power entities, as for the title Flowing Light, he wasn't familiar with it.

While he didn't recognize it, some present did.

The Golden Core Elder from Jade Silkworm Valley spoke up: "Is it truly the Flowing Light Medicine Venerable who once guided the founder of our Jade Silkworm Valley?"

"Whether Flowing Light Medicine Venerable guided your founder, I don't know, but the Cave Mansion where His Highness is currently located is very likely left by the Flowing Light Medicine Venerable from ten thousand years ago."

Chief Steward Shen responded solemnly: "It appears that it wasn't the Demon Race intending to trap us completely, but the appearance of the Cave Mansion has shifted their focus. Everyone needs to hurry; if we're late, we might not even get a taste of the soup."

He gathered up the ship, which, although convenient, couldn't match the speed of traveling on foot with so many people onboard.

Everyone's expressions changed; these words had a profound impact on them. Ahead lay a Great Power Cultivator's Cave Mansion, surely containing many treasures, and even obtaining just one could bring fortune, possibly even treasures capable of rewriting one's fate.

Many people suddenly burst forth energetically, voluntarily speeding up towards the location of the light pillar.
