Qin Feng glanced at the golden skull and then, without hesitation, swore an oath with his inner demons as the golden puppet had instructed.

Qin Feng clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and chanted incantations. An invisible force rose from his body, seemingly resonating with the surrounding void in some wondrous way.

When the oath was fulfilled, that power instantly merged into the depths of his soul, forming an unbreakable inner demon contract.

The golden skull watched Qin Feng complete these actions silently. After everything had settled, it slowly opened its mouth and let out a low, hoarse voice: "I know the whereabouts of the remaining two fragments of the map."

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng, who had been calm, was momentarily stunned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He couldn't help but ask, "Do you really know?"

"Hmph!" The golden skull snorted coldly, responding with a hint of disdain, "I have lived in the temple for countless long years, so I naturally know this little thing!"

Upon hearing the golden skull's confident words, Qin Feng subconsciously turned his gaze to Qing Jie, who remained silent to the side, and a half-smile appeared on his face.

"You seem to have spent countless years in this temple, yet why do you know nothing about this matter?"

Faced with Qin Feng's questioning, Qing Jie maintained his calm and composed demeanor, and replied slowly, "I have always lived in that valley and have never stepped out of it. It is normal that I do not know about this matter."

After hearing this, Qin Feng still had doubts about Qing Jie's explanation, but considering that the matter was really insignificant, he did not continue to ask.

His gaze then shifted to the golden skull, and he asked, "Where are those two fragments of the map?"

The golden skull replied, "Both fragments of the map are in the hands of the ferocious beast Taotie!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng was stunned as if struck by lightning, his heart filled with turmoil.

Taotie is one of the four legendary ferocious beasts!

His reputation was so great that it instilled fear in people.

However, before Qin Feng could recover from his shock, the golden skull continued, "This Taotie was sealed in a place called the Demon Suppression Tower, which is not too far from here, only about half a day's journey away."

These words were like a bombshell dropped on the crowd, instantly causing a huge uproar.

Qing Jie, in particular, suddenly turned extremely pale, as if he had seen something terrifying.

With a flicker of his figure, he appeared before the golden skull in the blink of an eye, like a ghost.

Qing Jie stared intently at the golden skull, urgently asking, "The Demon-Suppressing Tower you mentioned earlier... is it located in that Demon Realm?"

The golden skull spoke in a slow, heavy tone: "That's right, it's in that demonic realm."

Upon hearing this, Qing Jie's body trembled slightly. His eyes widened, his lips quivered, and he muttered to himself, "It...it really is in that place..."

Seeing this, Qin Feng frowned deeply and asked curiously, "So what's so special about this Demon Realm? Why are you so wary of it?"

Qing Jie took a deep breath, as if to calm the turbulent emotions in his heart, before answering in a solemn tone: "This Demon Realm is also known as the Ancient Demon Cemetery. Legend has it that in the distant past, countless powerful ancient demons perished here."

"However, no one can be sure whether any ancient demons that have survived by chance still exist there!"

At this point, Qing Jie paused slightly, then turned his gaze to Qin Feng. "You have previously fought against an ancient demon, so you should have some understanding of the terrifying power that ancient demons possess."

"They are not only exceptionally strong, but also ruthless and cruel."

"Therefore, if there is even just one ancient demon in this demon realm, even if we all work together to fight it, we will probably still find it difficult to defeat it in the end!"

"There's even a possibility that they'll be completely wiped out and perish in the Demon Realm!"

Qin Feng frowned slightly, his expression shifting between light and dark, like the ever-changing weather.

His gaze was fixed on the distance, as if he were contemplating some important decision.

Even Qingjie is so wary of the Demon Realm, so is there any need to risk going there?

Seeing Qin Feng remain silent, Qing Jie's expression grew increasingly serious.

He took a deep breath and then solemnly said, "Qin Feng, even if there are no surviving ancient demons in this Demon Realm, we are still afraid that we will have difficulty dealing with the extremely ferocious beast Taotie with our current strength."

At this point, Qing Jie paused, then added with emphasis, "What's even more terrifying is that the Demon Suppression Tower suppresses many ferocious beasts and demonic creatures."

"These guys have been imprisoned for a long time, and once they are freed, they will bring a catastrophe."

"Qin Feng, I'm not trying to scare you or exaggerate here. I hope you will carefully consider whether or not to go to the Demon Realm before making a decision!"

After hearing Qing Jie's words, Qin Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared intently at the other party. "Heh, don't you want to open the Primordial Chaos Realm?"

Qing Jie sighed helplessly. "Of course I want to open the Primordial Chaos Realm, but between opportunity and my own life, I will choose my life!"

"Hehe, I never would have guessed you were such a coward, so afraid of dying!" Qin Feng mocked.

Qing Jie ignored Qin Feng's mockery. He curled his lip and said, "You're brave and fearless, then go to the Demon Realm and try it yourself!"

Qin Feng merely glanced at Qing Jie, ignoring him. After a moment's hesitation, he looked at Ling Xueyan beside him. "Want to give it a try?"

Ling Xueyan bit her lip lightly, her expression becoming incredibly resolute, and said decisively, "We've already come this far, I'm not willing to give up so easily!"

Qin Feng was very surprised by Ling Xueyan's answer. He thought that this woman would back down, but now it seems that he had underestimated her determination to enter the Primordial Origin Realm.

At this moment, the golden skull spoke up. "Actually, the Demon Realm isn't as terrifying as this fellow Daoist describes!"

"Even if there are ancient demons that have survived in the Demon Realm, we can handle them with our strength!"

"As for the ferocious beasts and demonic creatures sealed inside the Demon Suppression Tower, they are nothing to fear in my opinion!"

Hearing the golden skull's words, Qing Jie frowned slightly, looking at it coldly. "Bullshit!"

"With your mere existence as a ghost cultivator, where do you get the audacity to utter such arrogant words?"
