"System! Quickly detect where I am! How did I end up here? What kind of fortuitous encounters do other people have when they get behind the stone gate?!"
"How come all I found behind the stone gate was a pile of bones that looked like it had been dead for ages! What on earth is that thing?!"
In the past, Xiao Feng wouldn't have been so afraid, but now he has no power to protect himself.
He's a complete weakling; if he encounters anything strange, his first instinct is to ask the system if it can protect him.
Unfortunately, the system did not give Xiao Feng an answer immediately.
After a few seconds, Xiao Feng realized that the bone in front of him did not move at all.
Xiao Feng had just breathed a slight sigh of relief when the remains immediately began to move.
Xiao Feng's heart leaped into his throat again. Startled, he pressed himself tightly against the stone door behind him.
He suddenly misses the mutated giant spider outside.
At least the giant spider was alive.
It's better for him to be alive than dead, so he can have some peace of mind.
[Host, a trace of soul power remains on these remains. It is very likely that they are some kind of predecessor left behind by the demon race. Please be careful.]
A few seconds before the skeleton began to speak, the system also provided Xiao Feng with the test results.
Xiao Feng just wanted to roll his eyes. All he wanted to know was how to get out of here!
Who cares what kind of senior this is among the demons?
Anyway, he's not a member of the demon race. If this senior finds out, he'll be completely doomed.
He didn't want to die at the hands of a pile of bones.
"Is there a way out of here? Quickly check where the exit is or where the control points are located?"
[Whether you can enter or leave is controlled by this skeleton. I cannot help you; please resolve the issue yourself.]
Hearing the system's response again, Xiao Feng really wanted to pull it out of his mind and kick it a few times.
Left with no other choice, Xiao Feng could only sit cross-legged against the stone door.
If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move either; if the enemy does move, I'll just kneel down.
Then the skeleton spoke: "Who are you? How dare you disturb me!"
Upon hearing the other party's self-identification, Xiao Feng instantly realized that these remains might be those of the former Demon Lord.
There isn't much information in the cultivation world about how the former Demon Lord died.
After all, the demon race hasn't caused any major disturbances for quite some time.
Especially after the death of the former Demon Lord, it was as if the group was leaderless.
Like a headless fly, it couldn't cause much of a stir in the entire cultivation world.
Like rats in a sewer, they live stealthily in the dark.
If Xiao Feng hadn't been captured by the Demon Clan this time, he wouldn't have known that the Demon Clan had secretly accumulated so much power.
There are also figures like the Heavenly Demon Messenger.
However, the demon race has declined considerably compared to before.
Otherwise, the Demon Lord's Seal wouldn't have ended up in my hands.
Thinking of the Demon Lord's Mystic Seal, Xiao Feng suddenly realized that the reason he entered this space was very likely because of the Demon Lord's Mystic Seal on his body.
Xiao Feng was pondering why he had entered this strange space, so he did not answer the corpse's question.
The skeleton spoke again, its tone instantly turning icy as it said, "Having trespassed into my place of rest, you shall stay and keep me company!"
Xiao Feng stood up abruptly and pressed himself tightly against the stone door.
He wanted to try activating the Demon Lord's Mystic Seal within his body to see if he could get it to take him out.
However, it had no effect.
Xiao Feng felt as if he were imprisoned in place by something.
He did know that the former Demon Lord was very powerful.
But I never expected it to be this powerful!
He's already dead, he's just a skeleton!
Why is it still so powerful?
However, just as the skeleton rose up and slowly approached Xiao Feng.
But suddenly he sensed a familiar aura emanating from Xiao Feng.
As soon as he waved his hand, Xiao Feng watched in disbelief as the Demon Lord's Mystic Seal emerged from his storage bag.
Then it fell into the hands of the other party.
"I never expected it to fall into your hands. But why can't I sense the demonic bloodline within you? Has the demon race fallen so low that even someone as weak as you was able to enter this place?"
Although it was just a skeleton, Xiao Feng felt its mockery of him.
Faced with the words spoken by the skeleton of the former Demon Lord, Xiao Feng wanted to give a firm rebuttal.
However, he could only consider that the other man had the ability to kill him, and that the only thing that could get him out of the way had fallen into the other man's hands.
Xiao Feng could only say with grievance, "The other demons harmed me, stripped me of my bloodline, transformed my demonic energy into spiritual energy, and imprisoned my magic power. Then they threw me into the Demon Hunter Cave. By chance, I was able to come to the space where you are, Venerable One."
The system exclaimed in its mind that Xiao Feng was too good at making up stories.
The skeleton of the former Demon Lord was already curious as to why someone who could obtain the Demon Lord's Seal had spiritual power but no demonic energy in their body.
After hearing Xiao Feng say this, he realized that there had been disloyalty among the demons.
However, the fact that Xiao Feng was able to control the Demon Lord's Seal means that he is the only one destined to inherit his position.
Since the bloodline in his body has been stripped away, he should be given the purest original demonic energy.
This is the only thing I can leave to those who are destined to receive it.
With this trace of primordial power, he was able to suppress all beings within the demon race.
Even those stronger than him can do it.
"Then I will pass on to you a trace of my original demonic energy that I left here. After you leave this place, you must lead the demon race to greatness!"
Xiao Feng was about to make an excuse to refuse, but the skeleton didn't wait for him to say anything.
With a casual wave of his hand, a small black hole suddenly appeared where he had been sitting cross-legged.
Immediately, a dark, gleaming stream of primordial demonic energy emerged from there and quickly entered Xiao Feng's body.
The Demon Lord's Seal was returned to Xiao Feng's hands.
Then the remains of the former Demon Lord vanished right before Xiao Feng's eyes.
"?" Xiao Feng was full of questions. What was going on?
Is this his destiny? Is he destined to be inextricably linked to the demon race for the rest of his life?
"System, quickly check if that wisp of demonic energy has caused any harm to my body, or if it will turn me into a demon," Xiao Feng hurriedly asked.
After a system check, the response was: "That wisp of demonic energy did not affect the host's body. The host can now learn both the **clan's** cultivation techniques and the righteous path's techniques; the two systems will not conflict within the host's body for the time being."
Hearing that he hadn't been hurt, Xiao Feng stopped worrying and started thinking of a way to leave the place.
The stone gate can now be opened.
