This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered-Chapter 697 - 596: A Mission That Can Be Mooched!_3

Aside from those three, both Uncle Ju and Wan Tinggui showed no signs of unease, as one had traveled back and forth countless times, and the other never considered the Abyss to be a treacherous place.

Wan Tinggui, looking at Liang Yi, suddenly seemed to remember something and curiously asked:

"How did things turn out with the traitor before? I haven't heard any of you mention it."

Upon hearing Wan Tinggui bring up this matter, He Zhiqing, Ke Mengzhan, and Pang Qingshi also showed an interested expression.

Regarding the traitor, they didn't know much besides the details of the Abyss sign they had heard superficially from their master, who mentioned that Liang Yi was already taking action. As for the specific outcome, nothing had been announced.

"Of course, it's been handled."

Liang Yi raised his eyebrows and confidently said, blinking his eyes.

"Hmm? Does that mean my backup plan is unnecessary?"

Wan Tinggui looked uninterested; she had devised a backup plan to avoid inspection by the Abyss upon learning that the plan had been leaked, but it turned out to be unnecessary.

"It almost came into play."

Liang Yi teased with a smile.

"Is the traitor really among the First-class forces?"

It seemed that infiltrating the Abyss had also placed a great deal of pressure on Ke Mengzhan; even his usual sleepy demeanor was replaced by alertness, his posture straight and sharp, like a blade in its sheath.

"Of course, but he doesn't realize that he's been exposed yet, he must still be in the dark..."

Liang Yi thought for a moment; he had only informed senior Zhou Zhukong and the others of the traitor's true identity, but how they dealt with him was unclear.

"In any case, the master instructed us to just proceed with the original plan."

"Did the master make a move a few days ago, possibly because of this?"

The chilly Pang Qingshi suddenly spoke.

"Yes, Wan Wan did indeed act to cover up that matter's Heavenly Mechanism. Given it involved the Abyss, concealing any significant issues related to it required Wan Wan to intervene personally before anything even happened."

Su Youyi nodded and said.

"No wonder the master looked so exhausted when he returned."

An understanding dawned on Pang Qingshi.

Among them, only Ke Mengzhan, who was completely unfamiliar with the Way of Heavenly Mechanism, looked puzzled and turned to He Zhiqing.

"In that realm of the Abyss, anything related to it manifests in the Heavenly Mechanism, achieving an effect akin to foreseeing the future."

Noticing Ke Mengzhan's confusion, He Zhiqing kindly explained.

"If the Banished Immortals wish to conceal the matter of the traitor passing on crucial intelligence, they must cover all relevant Heavenly Mechanisms, so the Abyss won't detect any flaws."

"I see."

Ke Mengzhan instantly grasped the meaning thanks to He Zhiqing's clear and simple explanation.

"Speaking of this path, it's the same route taken by White Tiger Envoy when they came last time, right?"

Uncle Ju floated mid-air, surveying the surroundings, sensing a familiarity with the place Wan Tinggui had chosen.

"Yes, you guessed right. They previously opened this secret passageway, which now serves us well." Wan Tinggui flicked her temple hair, her gaze reaching far into the distance.

"If we walked here normally, we would definitely be discovered by Abyss Cultivators. But now, with the Mystical Mechanism's army drawing attention at the front, we can infiltrate undetected."

"Alright, if there's no problem, let's prepare to go. Have you mastered the introductory part of the Shadow Mysterious Dao Chapter?"

Wan Tinggui checked the time and, seeing that it was almost time to start the operation, walked to the front of the group and turned to ask everyone.

Liang Yi and the others exchanged glances, their lips curling into identical smiles.

A dark shadow appeared beneath everyone's feet, and as it undulated like waves, the spiritual power aura from their bodies steadily vanished, replaced by the immensely pure Abyss Demon Qi!

When the shadowy waves ceased, the individuals standing before Wan Tinggui had transformed into several "genuine" Abyss prodigy cultivators!
