Yu Xuan released his spirit sense in all directions, spreading it like an invisible tide as he tried to grasp the true layout of the area.
What he sensed made his brows knit.
Too many presences.
And beneath it all, something wrong.
He focused first on the source of the darkness itself.
It was not ordinary concealment.
It carried a faint devouring quality.
In the brief moments since he had stepped into the area, Yu Xuan could already feel his spirit sense being eroded, swallowed by something intangible, as though the darkness itself was feeding upon it.
"This application is really something." he muttered.
At the same time, movement stirred ahead.
From within the strange fortress, demons began to emerge one after another, their auras were quite domineering.
Yu Xuan's gaze sharpened.
At the center of them stood a familiar figure.
A small grey demon, barely thirty centimeters tall.
The same one that had escaped him before.
"So you were hiding here?" Yu Xuan said softly.
