After Su Xi clarified Ouyang Chu Ge's direction, they continued to walk forward together.
Suddenly, they encountered quite a few patrolling individuals along the way.
These people were armed, their demeanor aggressive, clearly indicating that none of them were to be trifled with.
Seeing so many people, a flicker of confusion crossed Su Xi's brow.
Why were there suddenly so many? What were these people trying to do?
As these individuals hurried past her, Su Xi couldn't help but look at Ouyang Chu Ge beside her, wanting to understand what was happening.
She was not a demon, but fortunately, she had a demon by her side.
Ouyang Chu Ge glanced at Su Xi and explained, "When you saved that person earlier, you already attracted attention. Now our whereabouts have been discovered."
Su Xi frowned upon hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's words, unable to comprehend.
They had been so careful when they acted before, why were they discovered so easily?
After all, there had been no unusual occurrences previously.
Hearing Su Xi's question, Ouyang Chu Ge pointed to the direction of the prison behind them and said, "All the prisons here are interconnected. Now that this one has been opened, those people naturally know."
"The Heaven's Scar is about to rupture. They certainly won't allow us to act recklessly and will find ways to deal with us."
Su Xi's gaze held even more confusion upon hearing Ouyang Chu Ge's words, "Who are those people you're referring to?"
She had traversed this strange place extensively these past few days but had not encountered any high-ranking demons, nor did she know who was orchestrating all of this behind the scenes.
Ouyang Chu Ge and the others had mentioned those people many times, yet she didn't even know their identities.
Ouyang Chu Ge chuckled softly upon hearing Su Xi's question but offered no explanation.
Although he wanted to use Su Xi to achieve his goals, he would not reveal all the secrets of the demon race. Matters concerning their race could only be known within the demon race itself.
If it were to be revealed, it would lead to considerable trouble.
If outsiders were to know, it would become a secret weapon used against them.
Seeing Ouyang Chu Ge's expression, Su Xi knew he was unwilling to speak.
Therefore, she didn't press further. No matter what Ouyang Chu Ge intended to do, as long as it didn't hinder her from achieving her own objective, it would be fine.
Her gaze shifted to a spot not far away, and she said, "Earlier, I asked for your help with my plan. Now, take me to the Heaven's Scar."
Since this peculiar place was Ouyang Chu Ge's creation, he must know the location of the Heaven's Scar.
Time was of the essence, and she didn't want to wander around like a headless fly. She needed a clear direction and couldn't afford to waste time.
Upon hearing Su Xi's words, Ouyang Chu Ge nodded, "In that case, let's move forward."
Ouyang Chu Ge was more than willing to leave those old monsters behind in the demon realm. Without Su Xi needing to say more, he already had his own arrangements.
Otherwise, if those people all came after him, even in the human realm, he wouldn't be able to escape and would only be captured.
Thinking of his tragic fate of being captured, his footsteps quickened considerably.
His objective was to resolve these matters as soon as possible.
Observing this, Su Xi felt even more perplexed about his identity.
Ouyang Chu Ge was clearly a demon, yet why was he so interested in helping her now? It was as if he held a grudge against these demons.
As the two walked on with their own thoughts, Su Xi suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a moment."
Hearing Su Xi's voice, Ouyang Chu Ge turned to look at her, his eyes revealing confusion.
They were so close to the Heaven's Scar, why had she stopped now?
Sensing Ouyang Chu Ge's puzzled gaze, Su Xi pointed to a sealed room not far away, "Let's check this place first."
"Why?"
Ouyang Chu Ge frowned, unsure of what Su Xi intended to do.
Could she not focus on one task before moving on to another? There was no need to abandon it midway.
Su Xi knew her actions were baffling Ouyang Chu Ge, but she didn't change her mind.
She knew that to seal other things at the Heaven's Scar, the five Spirit Orbs would be necessary. Currently, she only had three. Even if she reached the Heaven's Scar, she wouldn't be able to seal it.
Therefore, she had to find the remaining orbs before heading to the Heaven's Scar. She sensed a slightly abnormal fluctuation of energy from the room beside them.
This made her believe that if she went inside, she would undoubtedly have unexpected gains.
Ouyang Chu Ge was unaware of Su Xi's situation, but he still followed her.
After all, only Su Xi had the ability to seal the Heaven's Scar; he would be useless going there alone.
Upon arriving at the stone door Su Xi had indicated, Ouyang Chu Ge looked perplexed.
He had initially thought it was an ordinary place, but now there were so many strange traces.
What was this place used for?
In his memory, he had not built this place, and he had no idea what these people intended to do.
Su Xi examined the stone door up and down for a few moments, then looked at Ouyang Chu Ge beside her, "Do you know how to break the seal here?"
She was adept at human formations, but the formation before her was clearly a demon technique. She had never encountered it before and naturally didn't know how to resolve it.
Ouyang Chu Ge looked at the formation before him and naturally recognized it as the demon race's most formidable sealing array.
What puzzled him now was that he had no idea what was inside that warranted such a powerful array.
If the stone door were opened, and there was a powerful demon inside, their days would surely be numbered.
Su Xi discerned Ouyang Chu Ge's concerns and reassured him, "Don't worry, there's no danger here."
"No danger?" Ouyang Chu Ge's face showed confusion at Su Xi's words; he clearly didn't believe her.
For him, the truth of the matter was more important than relying solely on Su Xi's words.
Su Xi's gaze held determination as she said, "Trust me. By opening this, we will have a way to seal the Heaven's Scar."
She would never tell Ouyang Chu Ge that she possessed a supercomputer that could directly observe the contents inside using X-rays.
While she couldn't open the door herself, it didn't mean she couldn't ascertain what was roughly inside.
Although Ouyang Chu Ge still didn't believe her, he instinctively nodded upon seeing Su Xi's resolute gaze.
He didn't know why, but he found himself believing Su Xi.
He took out a pile of items from his person and fiddled with them in front of the stone door for a while.
The tightly shut stone door immediately creaked open with a "creak" and slowly swung open.
As the stone door opened, a surging demonic energy erupted from within. The pure and potent demonic energy invigorated Ouyang Chu Ge.
He had only ever experienced such concentrated and pure demonic energy at the demon source.
Why would such potent demonic energy be present in a room within the human realm? What exactly was stored inside?
However, he soon looked at Su Xi with concern.
This demonic energy was an indispensable treasure for him, but for Su Xi, a human, it was poison. Once demonic energy entered her body, she would be finished.
He couldn't let Su Xi get into trouble before she achieved her goal.
