Chapter 84 After fooling them, they were dumbfounded. Where did this come from?
"Be careful." In the dense forest, Lu Feifeng, who was leading the way, looked around warily.
"I feel it's dangerous here."
Possessing innate sword bones, she has an extremely keen sense of danger.
As soon as the three of them stepped out of the ancient coffin, her skin immediately reacted to the stress!
Clearly, this dense forest is not a safe place, and they need to leave as soon as possible.
Luo Hongxi walked behind her, holding a magical weapon, ready to strike at any moment.
Chen Haotian, who was at the back, was carrying a coffin the size of a human head. This thing could only be shrunk to this size by Luo Hongxi, and it still couldn't be put into the space.
And let me tell you, this thing is really heavy, like a mountain pressing down on you. If Chen Haotian, being a sword cultivator, hadn't regularly trained his body and possessed the cultivation level of the third level of Soul Forging, he probably wouldn't have been able to carry it.
suddenly!
Amidst the rustling of the dense forest ahead, a group of strangely shaped humanoid creatures rushed out.
The three of them took one look at the various colored crystal cores that had sprouted from between each other's eyebrows, and their expressions turned serious:
'A member of the demon race!'
'We've indeed arrived in the territory of the demon race...'
Unlike humans, demons possess a demon beast core between their eyebrows, which they can hide when they go out to prevent humans from spying on them. Since they are currently on their own territory, these people naturally don't need to hide.
"Humans?!" the leading minotaur frowned and shouted.
"You're from the Zhu family?! What are you doing here?!"
"The Zhu family?" Upon hearing this, Luo Hongxi and the other two's eyes lit up: "It seems we're not far from the Demon Emperor's hometown!"
'Judging from his tone, there are probably quite a few humans within the Zhu family imperial clan…' Chen Haotian, his mind racing, clasped his hands and smiled:
"Fellow Daoists, we have been entrusted by the powerful members of the Zhu family to come here to search for someone. We hope you will forgive us for disturbing you."
They were entrusted by the Demon Emperor, so there's absolutely nothing wrong with what they said.
Aside from being unreliable, Chen Haotian is very quick-witted, so he should have no problem handling this kind of situation.
Seeing that his expression was normal and he didn't seem to be faking it, the minotaur nodded and waved his hand:
"Keep up, no one is allowed to enter here! You're just lucky to have run into me. If other forces saw a human, they wouldn't care whether you were from the Zhu family or not!"
'He's a kind-hearted demon!' Chen Haotian, Lu Feifeng, and Luo Hongxi exchanged glances, quickly stepped forward to the minotaur's side, and bowed gratefully.
"I am deeply grateful! May I ask your name? I will certainly report this to my family upon our return, and I will personally pay you a visit with generous gifts!"
'Hmm? She's got some skills; no wonder the Bamboo family sent her out...' The minotaur chuckled. Who wouldn't be happy to get something for nothing?
"It's nothing! I am Niu Shan, a minor leader of the Tianqing Clan of the Great Wilderness Mountain."
'The Sky-Supporting Clan of the Great Wilderness Mountain? What the hell?!' Chen Haotian's eyes twitched. He was a well-traveled and knowledgeable man, but he had never heard of this place name before.
'Could it be that the Demon Emperor used great supernatural powers to create a small world here?' This was the only guess he could make.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Haotian tentatively whispered:
"Fellow Daoist Niu, why is this place sealed off? Could it be that some treasure has been unearthed here?"
“Not bad!” Niu Shan whispered.
"It is precisely because of the Heavenly Lake that all forces have gathered here!"
"Hiss! Heavenly Pool?!" Chen Haotian's expression changed drastically as he stared at Niu Shan in disbelief!
Although he didn't understand anything, that didn't stop him from being shocked!
'This person even knows about the Heavenly Pool of the Demon Clan? He must hold a minor position in the Zhu family…' Upon seeing this, Niu Shan felt a desire to befriend him and nodded solemnly.
"It happened just two days ago. The strange phenomenon alarmed all the forces at the time, and they immediately sealed off this area to prevent the people of the other seven demon domains from finding out! After all, the Heavenly Pool is where the Demon Emperor once set foot. It is said that he was able to prove his Dao and become an emperor, and he gained great benefits in the Heavenly Pool!"
"Many powerful figures from various forces have come this time, and there are quite a few demon saints! Your Zhu family has also sent a senior demon saint! I will send you there now, so that you won't be harassed on the way."
"Thank you for your trouble, Fellow Daoist Niu." Chen Haotian clasped his hands in a solemn gesture, but his heart was in his throat.
'Could it be that we've stumbled upon an extraterrestrial realm?!'
It should be noted that there are not many forces in the Xuan Tian Continent with a Demon Saint-level expert in charge. For example, the Demon God Mountain in the Eastern Region and the Undersea Dragon Palace in the Northern Region are only five major forces.
But judging from Niu Shan's words, there are quite a few forces here with demon saint-level experts!
"Senior Sister," Luo Hongxi looked at Lu Feifeng, who was frowning beside her, "Senior Brother Chen has been here? He knows about Tianchi and all that?"
'What could he possibly know? He's just trying to fool people!'
"Huh? I thought it was true!" Luo Hongxi pursed her lips, almost bursting out laughing. This Senior Brother Chen is really something, he even fooled her.
Lu Feifeng didn't share her optimistic attitude, and transmitted her voice in a serious tone:
"Hongxi, I was wondering what the star map in the ancient coffin was, but now it seems we might have activated an extraterrestrial teleportation array. This is no longer the Xuan Tian Continent!"
'What?!' Luo Hongxi was shocked.
Beyond the borders?!
What happened?! They sent her all the way out of the Xuan Tian Continent?!
"Young Master! Young Master, are you there?!" Luo Hongxi's voice was somewhat panicked; she was afraid she would never see the young master again.
"Don't panic, Hongxi, I'm here." Shen Yun smiled slightly. If her father, Luo Qinghe, knew that his daughter was already thinking of outsiders and forgetting about her father before she was even married, how heartbroken he would be.
The familiar soft voice made Luo Hongxi secretly relieved, and her tense expression relaxed:
'It's good that you're here, young master...'
Her young master is truly powerful; he can even keep an eye on her across two realms!
This shows that the plane the young master belongs to is more advanced than theirs.
"Don't worry, senior sister!" With her confidence restored, Luo Hongxi spoke with much more conviction.
"We have so many treasures and the Demon Emperor's legacy; going to the Zhu family shouldn't lead to any trouble. Let's take it one step at a time and see."
If anything really happens, her young master will take care of it; there's nothing to be afraid of.
'And once we're in the outer realms, we might even be able to find some special favor items for you, young master!' Thinking of this, Luo Hongxi was actually looking forward to this trip to the outer realms.
'I hope so.' Lu Feifeng took a deep breath. If something really happened, she and her junior brother had to protect Luo Hongxi and get her out of here.
We would not hesitate to pay the price with our lives!
"With the opening of Tianchi this time, many forces have been allocated a spot to enter the pool, including the Zhu family." Niu Shan kept talking throughout the journey:
"There are so many advantages to being in a powerful organization. People like us, who are just nobody, can't even dream of it!"
"Haha, that's right." Chen Haotian nodded in agreement, occasionally saying a few words, trying to extract more useful information.
More than an hour later.
Niu Shan led them out of the dense forest.
Ahead, a towering mountain came into view, surrounded by areas where various forces were stationed.
“The three of you, I will take you to the Zhu family’s territory, which is in the mountains ahead.” Niu Shan pointed to the mountains ahead and led the way.
'Sword Master, what was the Demon Emperor's entrustment to you?' As they drew closer, Chen Haotian became somewhat nervous.
He had been bragging and making things up the whole way, and now that he was about to meet the person in charge, he really had no other choice.
