The high-ranking hunter often appears in the form of prey.

The Demon Race regards Lu Qingshan as prey, and they have dispatched everyone in Mang State to search and hunt him down, trying to capture the audacious culprit.

Their resolute attitude can be felt just by observing the tense atmosphere in the Demon Occupied Zone.

According to Lu Qingshan's original plan, they just needed to hide in Mang State for a while and make the Demon Race believe they've already left, and then the Demon Race would end their grand search and hunt.

Even the Demon Race cannot withstand such a waste and drain on manpower.

Just for one or two unidentified Human Cultivators, making so many people do nothing all day but search for someone?

Perhaps letting those Low Grade Demonic Cultivators continue their search work isn't much of a waste for the Demon Race, but resources of Seventh Grade and above Demonic Cultivators cannot be idly spent like this.

Without the patrols of such high-grade Demonic Cultivators, even if the Low Grade ones find someone, what use would it be?

This is a Human Cultivator capable of slaughtering a city, wouldn't the Low Grade Demonic Cultivators just be offerings?

This is the conclusion Lu Qingshan reached through analyzing the Demon Race situation, also the source of his audacious courage.

However, after obtaining the Heart Lotus and using it to break through his Primordial Spirit Realm to the late Soul Realm, Lu Qingshan's plan changed.

He plans to turn passive into active.

After slaughtering and destroying a city under Demon control, if he can take down one or several of the patrolling high-grade Demonic Cultivators...

Then, only then will the Demon Race throughout Mang State be truly intimidated, and only then will the Demon Race higher-ups truly start to take their existence seriously, involving the true powerful energy of high-grade Demonic Cultivators.

......

Nearly a hundred powerful Demonic Cultivators centered around Mountain Guard City spread out to conduct searches.

Among these Demonic Cultivators, the weakest ones have the cultivation of High Ranking Demon Marshal.

Because the Demon Race understands, when faced with a Human Cultivator capable of slaughtering a city clean, without the combat power of High Ranking Demon Marshal, if they encounter a Human Cultivator, they might not even have the ability to delay for a moment until their main forces arrive.

Tang Palace is a High Ranking Demon Marshal from the Tang Family, of the Tang Silkworm Demon Tribe.

The Tang Family doesn't possess strong power; the whole family has only three Demon Lords.

Yet, at the initial stage of the Soul Snatching Battle, their Tang Family as one of the first families to participate in the fight achieved considerable merits.

Hence, their Tang Family was also first awarded several cities and territories of the Human Race as rewards.

The three Demon Lords in the Tang Family are currently deployed with the army, fighting in the frontline battlefield, attempting to earn more battle merits for the Tang Family, while he is guarding the several cities initially distributed on the rear.

Then, he received the order from above, to leave the family's cities and carry out search and capture tasks in Mang State.

In Tang Palace's view, relying solely on their hundred Demon Marshals, along with that swarm of Low Grade Demonic Cultivators running around like headless chickens only randomly searching and bumping, offers little hope of finding the culprit.

After all, if it were him, after slaughtering the city, he would surely find a place to hide.

With the expansive territory of Mang State, finding a Human Cultivator hiding is nothing short of searching for a needle in a haystack.

A hidden Human Cultivator is much harder to trace than a moving Human Cultivator.

However, since this is the order of high-level Demonic Cultivators, he naturally dare not defy, merely contemplating perfunctory searching for some time; if without results, they should be dispersed to return afterwards.

As for the Human Race slaughtering a city....

The city slaughtered belonged to the Flame Serpent Demon Clan's Yan Family, not his Tang Family, so what does it have to do with him?

The Demon Race has always been self-interested.

Although they have a unified name — Demon Race.

But in reality, the Demon Race is merely a generic term; privately, they are divided into various tribes, with different appearances, customs, abilities, etc., having little ties with each other.

They are not like the Human Race, a united race where everyone can be called compatriots; naturally, they cannot possess the unity and devotion of the Human Race.

Of course, this doesn't necessarily mean the Demon Race is inferior to the Human Race in combat dispatching.

—— Although their culture lacks unity, the Abyss is indeed a world of hegemony, with the Eight Great Holy Demon Clans firmly ruling over the tribes under their territories, acting independently; therefore, they even surpass the Human Race in dispatching.

After all, the more people there are, the more differing voices and ideas emerge, leading to disputes; convincing companions with differing opinions is a quite challenging task.

The Demon Race doesn't struggle with this.

They are completely a world of unilateral decision.

......

Tang Palace released his Divine Sense, searching the nearby situation aimlessly and perfunctorily.

But he doesn't know, right near him, a pair of "eyes" are coldly watching him.

With the combat power of a High Ranking Demon Marshal, Tang Palace is not from a race like the Heart Demon Clan that specializes in honing their Primordial Spirit, so when converted to the Human Realm, his Primordial Spirit Realm just reaches the Initial Stage of Soul Realm.

However, Lu Qingshan is a powerful Primordial Spirit at the late Soul Realm.

Such an overwhelming crushing in realm, as Lu Qingshan used Divine Sense to observe Tang Palace, Tang Palace wasn't able to detect Lu Qingshan's presence.

Hidden in the shadows, Lu Qingshan's gaze turned slightly cold.

He knows the demon before him surely possesses some special means of sending messages; if he reveals himself, Tang Palace will immediately send out a signal for reinforcements.

At that time, with nearly a hundred High Ranking Demon Marshals arriving to besiege him and Mo Yan, even with extraordinary means, it would be tough for them to escape.
