The older it is, the more they like it.

Only two things can draw them out of the graves.

First, the appearance of an ancient tomb.

If it’s from the ancient times, they will dispatch several people; if it’s from the archaic age, they might come out in full force.

Second, an invasion by the Mountain and Sea Demon Race.

Now, Vilampu is almost certain that the Dragon Tomb Ancient Race is already on its way.

Besides the Dragon Tomb Ancient Race, the Baihong Ancient Race, who have a deep-seated blood feud with the Mountain and Sea Demon Race and act like madmen, are also inevitably charging here like wild dogs off the leash.

Its time is running out.

It doesn’t want to get entangled with these two groups of ancient races.

If it were to confront these two ancient races, especially the Dragon Tomb Ancient Race, it would be a true war between two nations. But this time, it is just making a lot of noise for a small purpose, seeming like war but actually searching for treasures.

Though Vilampu’s time is tight, it can remain very composed and patiently waits for answers.

Several hours later, it receives the news: The Dragon Tomb Ancient Race is more than likely to arrive at the battlefield in less than a month.

"Then we can only count it as a little over half a month..."

"A little over half a month..."

Vilampu’s voice is uncertain, then suddenly has an idea, hastily explains something to other Demon Race members in the Purple Mansion, and then steps into the Soul Threshold.

Once inside the Tumor Realm, it unleashes a vast swarm of poisonous insects, advancing with an overwhelming momentum.

...

...

"It should be Vilampu that has come in."

"I sensed it too."

The escape duo whispered softly.

But the environment they were in didn’t seem to be the Soul Threshold, but rather an independent Secret Realm.

While quickly tending to his injuries, Song Yan said, "Wife, you’ve inherited quite a lot from the Lingbo Ancient Race. You even have an ancestor’s thought? Can it really open a Secret Realm?"

Demon Mother Su Yao replied lightly, "Over eight thousand years of a great clan, it’s not surprising to leave some things behind. If there was nothing at all, then... would that mean my husband and I have no fate to be a couple? Hehehe."

While she laughed, her expression subtly and faintly moved, and who knew what kind of mischief she was up to.

"Don’t worry, dear. We hide here, and I’ve used the Sea of Suffering aura to cover the entrance. Unless Vilampu or the Elephant Emperor happens to investigate nearby, they won’t find us."

"What’s excellent is that now, after Vilampu enters and searches hastily, if it doesn’t find us, it will assume that we’ve escaped outside, and thus, it will search outside. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"

Song Yan applauded with praise, "Indeed, wife, previously, I was thinking of luring Vilampu in, then quickly escaping from the side."

Demon Mother Su Yao giggled, "You’re so smart, dear. You would have thought of it sooner or later."

...

...

Vilampu advanced like a bulldozer, not stopping even when encountering a treasure hunter. It pushed all the way to the ruins of the Lingbo Ancient Race, and without caring for the Elephant Emperor at the end of the Soul Threshold, it prepared to quickly return to the Soul Threshold entrance.

Its speed was much faster than the Elephant Emperor’s.

The opponent wanted to lure the enemy away and escape, so it gave them the opportunity.

Now, by taking a tour inside, it informed Song Yan that it could run.

Therefore... it wouldn’t linger and was prepared to return directly to capture people.

After searching the Tumor Realm slowly for more than half a month, it might not find anyone, so it could only stand by, waiting for the rabbit to run out on its own.

Vilampu quickly turned around, was about to rush out, suddenly halted, landed abruptly, and dusted off a stone tablet with its hand.

The stone tablet was very new, contrasting with everything else here, something ordinary people might overlook, but how could it escape Vilampu’s notice?

Vilampu dusted off the stone tablet and saw a line of writing carved on it.

The handwriting was fresh, and it read: To capture Song Yan, follow my lead. Now return immediately to the Ice Mirror Soul Threshold exit.

Vilampu stared at the stone tablet, grunted oddly, but still complied and left swiftly.

It had intended to return anyway.

A day later, it had returned to the exit.

The words on the stone tablet suddenly changed: Wait for an hour.

...

Vilampu could naturally see through the essence of this creature before it, such creatures have no reason to help Song Yan. Hence, it charged into the Soul Threshold for the third time, heading directly for the Secret Realm, but upon reaching it, found only a dummy leisurely fishing inside.

When Vilampu dashed out of the Soul Threshold again, Demon Mother Su Yao... had run away.

This Mountain and Sea Demon Race lord was truly enraged.

It looked forward, looked back, and for a moment didn’t know whether Demon Mother Su Yao was a foe or an ally, nor did it know whether Song Yan had fled or not.

...

As for Demon Mother Su Yao, even though she was injured, she could utilize the Demon Mother Lock to repeatedly lock onto the Demon Infant and thus escape successfully.

Now, she was flying rapidly to a remote place.

With the Evil Treasure taken and the eventual disappearance of the Soul Threshold, it was a matter of time.

Once the Soul Threshold here disappears, her connection with the Mother of the Sea of Suffering would also break; she was destined to fight alone.

In other words, if she died, the Nine-Child Demon Mother’s sacrifice plan outside would be a complete failure.

She absolutely didn’t believe that once she and Song Yan got out, he would help her.

So, she must trick Song Yan to death, then escape on her own.

Her sacrifice plan must be executed by herself.

However, she never expected, nor could she figure out, why even though that little thief’s aura was in the Secret Realm, he himself disappeared?

Where exactly is that cunning little thief?

...

...

Over half a month later.

Vilampu still couldn’t find Song Yan.

It had no choice but to take the Ice Mirror Soul Threshold Soul Treasure with the Elephant Emperor Shixiang and quickly retreat.

The ancient clans’ army returned once more.

The Formless Ancient Race’s clan leader, Tang Xiaoxuan, searched everywhere for the shadow of their clan’s prodigy.

Then, at the entrance to the closing Ice Mirror Soul Threshold, a familiar figure suddenly emerged.
