There was nothing on the small peak except a stone gate. The female elder came to the stone gate, took out the jade token hanging from her waist, and pressed it on the groove on the stone gate. Because the other two elders were holding the giant beast, the jade tokens on their waists were held by the female elder.
After the three jade plates were embedded in the stone gate, a spiritual light instantly appeared on the stone gate, and the formation set up on the stone gate was activated. The stone gate made a heavy "click" sound and opened. Behind the door was a dark and wide secret passage.
A breeze blew in, and the shark oil lamps on both sides of the secret passage suddenly lit up.
"Please come this way, distinguished guest." The female elder said and made a "please" gesture, but still walked in front to lead the way.
Half an incense stick later, they finally reached the end of the secret passage.
The further they walked, the more spacious the surroundings became. Yan Baibai soon discovered that the interior of this small peak was a natural cave, which was actually empty. The Tianji Pavilion took advantage of this and created a natural dungeon inside the small peak.
And now, the dungeons are filled with unconscious giant beasts.
"Elder, are these giant beasts transformed from humans?" Yan Baibai asked in shock.
"Yes, these are what we caught in just one month." The female elder said with a heavy heart, "Most of the demons living in the main city have already transformed into beasts."
"Most of them?" Yan Baibai asked, "Elder, do you mean that there are still a small number of people who are fine?"
"Well, but their situation is not optimistic." The female elder said as she took Yan Baibai to turn a corner. Outside the corner was an upward stone staircase. The stone staircase turned several times and finally stopped in front of a small stone door.
It is called a small stone gate, but in fact it refers to the big stone gate on the small peak. The small stone gate can accommodate two adults to enter and exit, but it is impossible for a giant beast to pass through this stone gate.
As Yan Baibai approached the stone gate step by step, he could see a bright light coming through the gap in the stone gate. The light was sometimes bright and sometimes dim, which must be caused by a moving object blocking the light.
After hearing the voices coming from inside the stone gate, Yan Baibai finally confirmed that there was someone behind this small stone gate. No, to be more certain, it was a demon who had not yet transformed into a beast.
After the female elder came forward to negotiate, the small stone door opened. When Yan Baibai saw a dozen monsters with animal ears and tails and red eyes inside, he knew that these were monsters that had not yet transformed into beasts.

"Third Elder, who is this?"
One of the young men with a pair of bear ears on his head took a few steps forward. He bowed in the direction of the female elder, then looked at Yan Baibai with some vigilance, with obvious vigilance in his eyes.
"Manager Xiong, this is our young lady's distinguished guest." The female elder looked at Yan Baibai and then introduced him to Yan Baibai: "Dear guest, this is Manager Xiong, who was sent to our world from the demon world."
"Third Elder, we faintly heard the sound of bamboo music and were thinking something good had happened. It turns out today is your young master's wedding day. We apologize for not being able to go and congratulate him."
Manager Xiong spoke respectfully, but his tone was not very friendly. In Yan Baibai's words, it was sarcastic.
Manager Xiong ignored the female elder's stiff expression and continued, "I know the world of immortal cultivation is not peaceful right now, but your Tianji Pavilion has just formed an alliance with Wuzhi Mountain. It's not good to reveal this matter to an outsider without verifying it."
People with demon blood suddenly turned into wild beasts, and many demons in the city were also affected. The demon world envoys could not find a clue, so they were invited into the cave by the people of "Tianji Pavilion". However, this matter was related to the demons no matter how you looked at it. Although Manager Xiong and others had the ability to run away, they were in someone else's territory after all, and could not hurt the humans in the city.
Besides, he didn't know how to explain to the Demon King if he ran back like this. It seemed like he was fleeing from the crime. In order to prove his innocence, Manager Xiong did not take any action and tried his best to cooperate with the investigation of Tianji Pavilion. However, a month passed, and they could only see the increasing number of beast-like humans in the dungeon, but they still couldn't get an answer.
The people trapped in the cave originally wanted to ask the people from Tianji Pavilion to investigate the matter together, but as soon as they got close to the giant beasts, the blood in their bodies began to surge wildly, and the primitive desire to kill could not be suppressed. In the end, they could only honestly return to the dungeon and trap themselves.
Manager Xiong had already reported his situation to the demon world, but a month had passed and he still hadn't received a reply from the demon world. Manager Xiong couldn't help feeling anxious and depressed, and coupled with the fact that Tianji Pavilion had made no progress, he couldn't help feeling resentful.
This time, when the Third Elder came, Manager Xiong thought that things had made progress, but he didn't expect that they just brought two more giant beasts. When he saw the unnatural expression of the Third Elder, he knew that the Tianji Pavilion had found nothing.
That would have been fine, but the Third Elder even brought in a delicate, beautiful woman, introducing the prisoner to her as if he were some rare treasure. Upon inquiry, he discovered that this person was from the Tianji Pavilion's marriage partner, which infuriated him even more. He felt that the people of Tianji Pavilion were spineless, so Manager Xiong couldn't help but lash out with sarcasm.
"The Tianji Pavilion claims to be the descendants of the Five Elements Sect from a thousand years ago, yet now they have fallen to the point of arranging marriages between relatives. Life is truly unpredictable." Manager Xiong said as he glanced at the Third Elder's dark face. His mood slowly improved, and he looked at the beautiful human in front of him, thinking about how to tease her to clear up the depression in his heart.
"Miss, you Five Finger Mountain people lack foresight. If you truly want an alliance to survive in this turbulent world of immortal cultivation, how can you only rely on people from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?" Manager Xiong straightened his back and then spoke slowly, "How about you send an envoy to the demon world and form an alliance with our demon king? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
