Chapter 851 -501: Rainbow Road 91

“I hope you’ll understand, these plants attacked us only out of a protective instinct, not specifically targeting us.”
Maya Leaf nodded in agreement.
“I understand, Brother Logan, you seem to have a particular kind of leniency towards these spirit plants, as if you can’t bear to harm them.”
Logan just smiled.
“After all, if I were in their position, I could understand them too, so this is probably one of the reasons I don’t want to ruthlessly destroy them.”
...
Maya Leaf seemed to somewhat understand. Sometimes, she thought this sympathy was unnecessary, and at other times, she admired Logan for it.
To be able to maintain such purity of heart amidst multiple temptations is indeed rare. Besides, Maya Leaf wasn’t the type to recklessly slaughter; she didn’t like killing the innocent. The two of them hit it off and quickly moved past the spirit plants, heading forward.
The vibrations from the spirit plants grew stronger, as if they wanted to prevent passage, but because of the array, they ultimately couldn’t do anything.
Finally, after walking a bit further, we started to feel that we were getting closer and closer to the Spiritual Spring.
Apart from the familiar fluctuations of spiritual power, Logan also felt another type of presence, one that was strangely familiar yet repulsive to him.
“Brother Logan, what’s wrong? Why did you suddenly stop?”
Logan didn’t immediately answer her. Instead, he looked down at his feet, where two plants had been tainted with Demonic Qi, and traces of it lingered on their leaves.
“Shh.”
Logan turned around, making a silencing gesture towards her, his eyebrows tightly knitted, showing that he took the matter very seriously.
“Not good, I sense the presence of the Demon Race. There are demons nearby. Be careful, we need to find a place to hide for now.”
Logan’s expression was extremely serious, making Maya Leaf, who was initially immersed in the joy of nearing the Spiritual Spring, become solemn as well.
“The Demon Race.”
Maya Leaf whispered these two words, a trace of fear flashing across her beautiful face. She didn’t know the Demon Race well, having hardly ever had the chance to confront them before.
But from what she had learned about the Demon Race, they were a clan known for their evil deeds and savage nature.
It wasn’t that she had a lot of entanglements or battles with many demons; rather, the esteemed elders in her family clan had described the demons’ malevolence since her childhood.
Therefore, hearing about the demons now, she felt a bit panicked.
“How could the Demon Race appear in the Secret Land? How did they know about this place?”
As Maya Leaf asked this, she quickly pondered in her mind.
Although the Secret Land was supposed to open only five months later, it was not unlikely for someone like her to be sent in early by the elders. Could it be that the demons were brought in the same way by the higher-ups of their Demon Race?
“I’m not sure either. Since we were able to find it, maybe some demons were lucky, and they found this place too. Anyway, these two demons are far more powerful than us. Let’s keep our auras concealed and avoid being detected by them for now.”
If possible, Logan didn’t want to confront the demons head-on. Given their current strength, it was not a good idea to clash directly with the demons.
Realizing this as well, Maya Leaf obediently nodded and followed closely beside him, hiding in a concealed spot.
Afterward, Logan quietly peeked out, looking in that direction. After extending his spiritual awareness, he soon saw two members of the Demon Race.
The demons stood on the grass, their faces displeased as they kicked the vines beside them, their voices filled with deep anger.

“Such bad luck, having us deal with these matters, what a mess they’ve dumped on you and me!”
The other demon obviously didn’t want to complain about such topics there and instead mildly tried to pacify his companion.
“Don’t say that. The Demon Monarch values us, that’s why he sent the two of us. Just get it done properly and don’t displease the Demon Monarch.”
“If we were just here to look for treasures, I wouldn’t mind; I like precious items too. But it’s no fun coming here with tasks in hand!”
As he spoke, perhaps to vent his frustration, the demon directly wielded his spiritual power and destroyed a swath of spirit plants around them.
Thinking about the spirit plants they had been cautiously protecting and not daring to touch, only for the demons to destroy them at will, Logan couldn’t help feeling a bit depressed. They were indeed a bunch of brutes.
“Enough, keep your temper in check. Don’t forget our important task.”
“The reason we entered ahead of time is to seize the opportunity, to destroy the Secret Land. That’s the priority. Then we mess with the opportunities created by those people, making those so-called righteous cultivators fall into depravity. This is a big game set by the Demon Monarch, and we are his generals. Don’t ruin his plan.”
Although the other demon was somewhat unwilling, he did calm down a bit, clearly understanding the importance of the task and not daring to lose his temper recklessly.
“I know, once again it’s up to us brothers. That Spiritual Spring looks quite nice; why not hide the Demonic Qi underneath? We must make all those righteous clansmen fall into depravity, otherwise, I won’t be able to let out this breath!”
“Of course, that’s what should be done. You didn’t need to tell me; we should proceed that way!”
The two looked at each other and suddenly burst into malicious laughter.
After they were done talking, the demon who had been complaining threw a dark Demon Pearl into the Spiritual Spring.
