Their faces were pale, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
These figures were of various forms, and anyone who knew them would recognize them as the group who had previously intended to target Ao Yuan.
"Did he... did he just see us?" one person asked, his voice filled with uncertainty.
This was a man who seemed to be perpetually dripping water, and in the short time he had been standing there, he had already soaked a large portion of the ground.
"If he saw us, why didn't he come after us?" a shadowy figure's eyes flickered as he spoke calmly.
But one could detect the barely concealed panic in his composed tone.
His words caused the others to fall silent, each expression etched with a hint of fear.
They hadn't revealed themselves, yet Ao Yuan's gaze had been terrifying.
It was as if he had seen through everything and noticed their presence.
"Don't worry, he definitely didn't see us."
Amidst the silence, someone chuckled nervously. "Otherwise, like he said, he would have come looking for us."
"Stop scaring yourselves."
Hearing this, their complexions eased slightly.
"No, he's already seen us."
Before their expressions could fully relax, a burly man suddenly shook his head.
"No... that can't be..."
Everyone's hearts leaped, and cold sweat streamed down their foreheads.
Just as the other had said, if he had seen them, there was no reason for him to let them go!
"He saw us," the burly man said, not looking at them, but gently shaking his head. "But perhaps because he doesn't want to deal with us right now, he didn't cause any trouble."
"How is that possible!"
"You must remember, we were the ones who created him!"
Someone exclaimed, their voice filled with disbelief.
"He didn't attack us because he has more important things to do," the burly man stated in a low voice. "And once he's done with those, it will be time to settle the score with us!"
These words immediately plunged the moods of the figures present to the lowest depths.
They hadn't shown themselves before, yet Ao Yuan had detected them and pinpointed their location with accuracy.
His strength was self-evident.
If Ao Yuan were to come after them, would they be a match for him?
Could they possibly be a match?
They asked themselves, putting themselves in Ao Yuan's shoes. They certainly couldn't have found their own strengths.
And!
The vivid and unforgettable memory of the tribulation lightning!
This had not only struck the demonic beast earlier but had also left an indelible impression on their hearts.
"Enough!"
The burly man looked at everyone, as if understanding their thoughts, and adjusted his emotions, speaking calmly, "Let's disperse for now. Go back and don't pay any more attention to this matter."
"And don't expose yourselves."
"This matter is proceeding according to the planned strategy, and we only need to wait for the subsequent results!"
The burly man's words silenced the others, and they all left in unspoken agreement.
When all the surrounding figures had departed, leaving only the burly man alone.
He did not leave, gazing at the high sun hanging in the sky from afar.
For some reason.
An ominous premonition arose in his heart.
A voice in his mind seemed to tell him that targeting Ao Yuan this time was a mistake.
And this mistaken decision would inevitably bring about a bloody storm.
The final consequence would be their annihilation.
"Is this... truly the right thing to do?"
After a long silence, he quietly retracted his gaze and murmured to himself, his eyes lost.
"No! I was not wrong in this matter!" The next moment, his gaze suddenly sharpened, and he coldly declared, "And it will not be wrong."
"Even if he can withstand heavenly tribulations with his body, he is absolutely no match for a god!"
He spoke these words as if to others, and as if to encourage himself.
As he spoke, his figure distorted and vanished like a dream into the earth.
...
"Ancient remnant tribe?"
At the same time, Ao Yuan, hovering in the air, his eyes flickered.
Just as the burly man had said, he had already sensed several powerful and dangerous energies in that direction.
However, he had not investigated further.
His thoughts were surprisingly consistent with what the burly man had said.
To him, although these energies were powerful, stronger than those of Bruh Gula and his party, they were far from posing a crisis to him.
This was precisely why he had not chosen to delve deeper.
After all, every moment wasted here would only increase the risk of demonic beasts for the other kingdoms.
In comparison, Ao Yuan felt that spending time on them was a loss.
However, although he did not investigate further, Ao Yuan had noted their energies in his mind.
His intuition told him that the sudden hostility shown by various countries on Lan Star towards the demonic beasts within their borders was inextricably linked to them.
But despite this intuition, he did not act. He planned to seek them out later when he had free time.
At that time, they would inevitably be unable to escape his grasp.
Ao Yuan was extremely confident in this regard.
After all!
He was currently the strongest on Lan Star, and even ancient remnant tribes!
He did not put them in his eyes.
Currently, only the never-before-seen gods were worthy of his attention!
This was not to say that Ao Yuan was not confident in defeating these gods, but he had no idea what their actual strength was.
And as Ao Yuan's thoughts drifted, he suddenly sensed an energy approaching from afar.
This energy was very mixed, containing both human and demonic beast presences.
Ao Yuan did not hesitate and flew directly in that direction.
After all!
A place where both demonic beasts and humans coexist was inherently abnormal.
It was very likely similar to what he had faced before with the black rhinoceros!
It was a battle between humans and demonic beasts.
As Ao Yuan had expected.
After only a few steps, Ao Yuan heard the faint sounds of a struggle.
Listening to the sounds by his ear, Ao Yuan's speed suddenly increased significantly.
As a demonic beast, he did not want to see demonic beasts killed by humans.
Ao Yuan's speed was incredibly fast!
He reached the scene of the fight in a very short time.
At a glance, he saw a man with a crew cut whose hand was emitting a brilliant light, forcing back a graceful figure in front of him.
This graceful figure was a woman of unparalleled beauty.
Her figure was voluptuous, and even though she wore loose clothing, it was difficult to conceal.
She did not show weakness, using her extremely agile movements to evade the opponent's attacks.
At the same time, she launched wave after wave of counterattacks.
However, perhaps due to the difference in strength.
Although she counterattacked, as time wore on, she inevitably fell into a disadvantage!
If this continued, it was likely that this graceful figure would be killed by the crew-cut man in no time.
"It's a human? No, it's a demonic beast!"
"It's a transformed demonic beast!"
"No, that's not right either!"
As Ao Yuan, suspended in mid-air, witnessed this scene, a deep look of confusion appeared on his brow.
