Ethereal World: Vicious Cannon Fodder's Immortality Road novel Chapter 766

Chapter 766: A Conspiracy Unveiled

Emerging from the confines of the Dahlia Field, where Yao had forcibly dragged her, Shenlian Yingyue initially dismissed her encounter with him as a mere aberration. After all, she was human and he was a demon. Seizing the moment when everyone was distracted by Yao, she made her swift escape.

Jade Orchid and the others attempted to pursue her, but their efforts were futile. Shenlian Yingyue’s speed was incomparable; her power defied the limits of common understanding.

Yao made no move to intervene. He was acutely aware that their attempts would be in vain, and even if they somehow succeeded, he had no vested interest in the outcome. His sole concern lay in ensuring that she did not disrupt the prince’s ritual.

Deliberately veering away from the area Yao had indicated, where the prince was performing some clandestine rite, Shenlian Yingyue resolved not to let curiosity get the better of her. After all, they say that curiosity kills the cat.

Returning to her allies, she inquired, "How are things looking on your ends?"

"Master, getting our hands on the treasures is proving quite difficult," Xiao Yun noted, positioned at the northern end of the warehouse alongside Xiao Li and Xiao Qiu.

"The security measures are exceedingly tight," Xiao Nian complained, reporting from the western side where she stood with Lu Long and Feng Huang.

"Their abilities are utterly bizarre," added Xiao Lan, flanked by Xie Xie and Xiao Mei to the east of the warehouse.

She nodded in agreement to their assessments but cautioned them to tread carefully.

"We have an Upper Rank Demon guarding the treasury. His power is ’invisibility.’ If Brother Yun hadn’t detected his presence in time, we would have fallen into their trap," Tian Tian chimed in, still hidden behind a massive tree at the southern edge of the warehouse alongside Huan Huan and Zhizhi.

"Invisibility..." she mused.

"Invisibility: This demon possesses the ability to render himself completely undetectable in the physical realm, making it perilous for enemies to sense his approach," Bing Xue elaborated.

"A’Xue, you have extensive knowledge of demons," she remarked, surprised. Typically, she would expect Xiao Yun to have such insights.

"It’s merely common knowledge," Bing Xue replied with a serene smile, though her words did not fully reflect the depths of her understanding.

Shenlian Yingyue opted not to press further into the topic.

"This power is formidable. Even other demons are unable to detect the presence of this invisible guardian," Hong Zuan, who perched on her shoulder, added with a furrowed brow. "If the demon race were to unleash this invisible entity upon the Mortal Realm, it could sow chaos before any cultivators realized the source of the disturbances."

The ominous implications of Hong Zuan’s words hung in the air, and she felt an unsettling chill run down her spine. They were not merely thieves; they were potential harbingers of chaos, and the stakes were higher than anyone had initially anticipated.

Silence enveloped the group.

"Every individual has a vulnerability. Once we discover it, we can conquer them," she observed with an air of tranquility.

"Come back, little ones! I have a plan!" she declared, beckoning them back with her will.

(Their conversation unfolded through a spiritual link.)

Being close to them in the same city made it effortless to draw them into the contract space. Once gathered, she scanned her surroundings before vanishing into the Ethereal Small World.
