“Continue.”
[As you continue deeper into White Water Lake, you know it isn’t too big, and with your speed, you’ll quickly approach the center of the lake.]
[One minute later, you start to slow down, while carefully observing the surroundings.]
[Two minutes later, you suddenly see a demon patrol approaching from a far distance to your left.]
[With a swift reaction, you use Boneshifting to shrink your size as much as possible and hide behind a nearby rock covered in algae.]
[The patrolling demons are only Mortal Level, far away from you, and they haven’t noticed your presence. They continue to approach at a leisurely pace.] [Three minutes later, the patrolling demons are still several hundred meters away from you.]
[End of the second foresighting, do you wish to continue?]
“Continue.”
[The moment you see the patrolling demons, you already have a plan in mind to blend in with them.]
[The demons slowly come closer to you, and after a minute, they finally arrive near you.]
[You hide well enough that they don’t notice your presence, and you’re prepared to strike at any moment.]
[Finally, the demon patrol with five members carrying long spears arrives near your hiding spot, but you wait patiently instead of attacking immediately.]
[As the last demon passes by your hiding spot, you suddenly launch a Divine Soul Attack on it.]
[Unable to withstand your attack, the last demon in the line is silently killed.]
[You quickly shift into the appearance of the demon, take the spear from its hand, hide its corpse, and take its place, following the team from behind.]
[The leader of the patrol seems to notice something and unconsciously glances back, but fortunately, you’ve blended into the group, and the leader doesn’t discover anything.]
[Congratulations, you’ve successfully infiltrated the patrolling demons and follow them as they continue to move forward.]
[Two minutes later, the patrolling team encounters no abnormalities and continues to advance at a leisurely pace.]
[Three minutes later, the patrolling team encounters another team, and none of the demons notice anything unusual about you. You continue to follow the team.]
[End of the second foresighting, do you wish to continue?]
“Continue.”
[The patrolling team moves slowly, and you’re patient, knowing that you’re not far from the lake’s center now.]
[One minute later, you finally see a cluster of underwater buildings in the depths of the distant lake.]
[From time to time, patrolling demon teams leave the buildings and patrol in different directions, as well as those that return after completing their patrols.]
[Two minutes later, you finally approach the massive building complex, which consists of more than a hundred large and small buildings.]
[At the center of the complex is a huge palace, surrounded by countless structures, making it even more conspicuous.]
[This is the heart of White Water Lake, and the entrance to the Lake Heart Spring you’re looking for is somewhere in that palace.]
[As you continue to approach the buildings with your team, suddenly, a demon emerging from the huge palace in the distance catches your attention.]
[You see a large demon, covered in scales and armor rushing towards the surface of the lake.]
[The moment you see the demon, you recognize it as the one that tried to capture you back in White Water Town! ]
[The demon disappears into the lake’s surface, and you continue to follow your team towards another palace on the left side of the central palace.]
[End of the third foresighting, do you wish to continue?]
“So it’s that demon from before. It seems that this White Water Demon King is the same one from the White Water River!”
Su Nan’s heart sinks slightly, but he isn’t too surprised.
He had suspected that the White Water Demon King might be the same one from the White Water River in White Water Town when he first heard about it.
Back then in White Water Town, his Daily Task refreshed to explore the White Water River.
It was a four-star Task, so he knew there must be a Demon King in the White Water River.
Moreover, he had hunted a group of small demons in the Chen Ancestral Hall and was pursued by a demon sent by the Demon King, which is the same demon that appeared in his foresight now.
“What a coincidence to meet here.”
Su Nan gazes into the distance at the center of White Water Lake.
The pursuing demon had caused him quite a bit of trouble back then, and if possible, he wouldn’t mind hunting it down after it leaves White Water Lake. “Continue the foresight.”
[You follow your team into a palace where many patrolling demons live. You take advantage of their inattentiveness to leave the team and venture towards the central palace in the guise of the scaled burly man.]
[One minute later, you encounter several demons who don’t notice anything unusual about you.]
[Two minutes later, you arrive in front of the giant palace at the center of the lake.]
[You notice that there’s a demon guarding the entrance to the palace, looking very similar to your current demon disguise.]
[The guard notices you and looks puzzled. Knowing you can’t show any abnormalities now, you brace yourself and approach the guard.]
[The other party asks you, “Didn’t you go to invite Nine-Tailed King according to the Demon King’s orders? How did you return so quickly?’1]
[You react quickly and tell the other party that you found the Outsiders the Demon King wanted to capture and report it to him.]
[After speaking, you don’t pay attention to the demon anymore and quickly enter the palace.]
[However, the moment you enter the palace, a young man appears in front of you and grabs your throat.]
[Your Boneshifting technique has been detected by the White Water Demon Kingas abnormal.]
[You died.]
“The White Water Demon King is indeed in the palace!”
Su Nan frowns. This is within his expectations, as it is the Demon King’s lair, so the chances of running into him are high.
He just didn’t expect to be discovered as soon as he entered the palace.
With this, he can no longer continue his foreknowledge.
“It seems I need to find a way to lure the White Water Demon King away.”
Su Nan ponders. As long as the Demon King is around, no matter how many times he foresees, he cannot succeed.
He must lure the Demon King away if he wants to enter the Lake Heart Palace. “What could I do to lure him away?”
Su Nan muses.
Suddenly, he recalls the scene of being killed by the Green Wolf Demon King in his earlier premonition, and his eyes light up.
“Maybe I can lure away the White Water Demon King by killing one of his subordinates!”
Both Demon Kings are already targeting him. As soon as a Xuan Level Demon under them is killed, they will rush over immediately.
This would originally be a bad thing for him, but now it might also be an opportunity.
If he hunts a Xuan Level Demon who is a subordinate of the White Water Demon King, he could lure him away.
As long as he can grasp the right timing, he could sneak into the Lake Heart Palace!
Thinking of this, he also recalls the Sky Corner Academy and the two demon creatures from the Dust Gazing Tower.
Both demons were under the White Water Demon King.
Regardless of success or not, he needs to try!
After glancing at White Water Lake, Su Nan turns to leave.
He doesn’t plan to hunt the demon about to leave the lake.
Now is not the time to alert the snake by hitting the grass.
About ten minutes later.
Su Nan, disguised as Zhang Yang, returns to the Demon Hunting Bureau.
“Bureau Chief Sir, a Xuan Level Demon named Yellow Leopard under Green Wolf Demon King was killed by someone.” Zhu Chen quickly reports.
He stares intently at Su Nan’s expression as he speaks. Ma Qiang and Chen Su also focus on Su Nan, trying to read something from his face.
Su Nan looks at the three of them, nods and says, “It seems you have guessed it. Yes, it was me.”
He doesn’t hide it and admits it directly.
The three of them had already guessed, so even if he didn’t admit it, they wouldn’t believe him.
Anyway, they already knew about Su Nan killing Lv Ear, so admitting it now doesn’t matter.
He even pulls out the corpse and says, “Help me turn this demon corpse into essence and blood, too.”
“It really is Yellow Leopard!”
Although they already knew that Su Nan could kill Xuan Level Demons, they were still shocked to see him taking out another Xuan Level Demon Corpse.
In their memory, even the previous Xuan Level Bureau Chiefs could not kill a Xuan Level Demon in a day!
But Su Nan did it.
Chen Su comes to her senses quickly and takes out the mirror that records Demon-slaying Points.
“Sir, you have accumulated 500 Demon-slaying Points now,” she says, both amazed and envious.
She might not be able to accumulate this many points even if she saved for a year, while Su Nan took less than three days!
“500 points, huh?”
Su Nan nods, thinks for a moment, and asks, “Are there any items in the Demon Hunting Bureau’s Treasure Vault that can replenish vitality?”
