On the other side, Wu Qi spoke with some melancholy and lingering fear.
“I once received a rumor that the Demon Emperor did not truly perish. He did not fail to ascend, but was instead dismembered and suppressed by a powerful human being.”
Xiao Feng asked again, "You already knew about this rumor, so why did you still come to this secret realm?"
A bitter voice came from the other end: "Because I didn't believe it before. After all, I've never seen the Demon Emperor with my own eyes. I've only heard his legends."
"Moreover, this rumor suddenly appeared after the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm appeared. I thought that some demons wanted to seize the treasures in the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm, so they deliberately released the news to scare away most of the demons."
"Previous legends about the Demon Emperor mostly say that he had a particularly good temper and was exceptionally talented, a rare genius among the entire demon race."
"Especially since he was able to reach the half-step ascension level as a demon, which is the goal of most demons!"
Xiao Feng listened in silence.
Wu Qi continued to tell Xiao Feng, "But the rumors I heard before said that the Demon Emperor is not the kind-hearted person he is in legends, but a very treacherous demon."
"His ability to grow to the level of Demon Emperor was not due to his extraordinary talent, but because he knew an extremely evil technique that allowed him to absorb the bloodline power, life force, and demonic power of all demons."
"He can completely absorb all the power of another demon and make it his own."
"Such a terrifying and evil technique! Not to mention that he is not even qualified to ascend, once he becomes powerful, he will not only endanger the peace of the demon race, but may even endanger the human race."
"Therefore, his death was caused by the dismemberment and suppression by a powerful human being, but it is clear that his soul escaped. If he were to be resurrected, the demon race and the human race would likely descend into chaos once again!"
After hearing what Wu Qi said, Xiao Feng swallowed hard in fear.
He desperately hoped that Wu Qi was joking with him, and that what Wu Qi said wasn't true.
However, based on his observations of the mysterious demon, it actually matched the rumors that Wu Qi had heard later.
If this is true, then this matter is very serious.
At this moment, Xiao Feng even regretted why he had entered this secret realm!
Wouldn't it be better for him to stay out there quietly?
It's too late for regrets now.
If the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm is indeed a trap set for the many demon races, then perhaps the only one who will be able to leave in the end is the true master of the secret realm, namely the Demon Emperor who is not quite dead.
"Let's meet as soon as possible and spread this message quickly so that all the demons entering the secret realm can prepare. Did the Demon Emperor have any followers before? Will the Demon Emperor's followers enter the secret realm?"
Xiao Feng had countless questions he wanted to ask Wu Qi.
Wu Qi also had many questions about the mysterious demon that Xiao Feng had seen, and wanted to ask Xiao Feng about them.
However, since using communication magic devices couldn't make things clear in person, Xiao Feng and Wu Qi directly agreed on a time and place to meet before cutting off contact.
Xiao Feng strode back to the place where many demonic beasts had gathered, and saw that Wuxia and several other leader demonic beasts were not resting.
Xiao Feng beckoned to them, signaling them to come over and discuss the next steps with him.
"Master!" Wuxia looked at Xiao Feng with concern, and Xiao Feng's expression was not good at all.
"I ask you, do you know any places where you can hide without being easily discovered?" Xiao Feng asked seriously.
"Should we hide? That powerful demon is so strong, we'll definitely be discovered no matter where we hide!" a demonic beast said, trembling.
"Let's keep running away and head to the territory of those more powerful monsters to tell them what's going on," another monster suggested.
"Our master thinks it would be dangerous for us to travel with so many people. Every tribe has the old, weak, sick, and young. Rather than letting them take risks, it would be better to hide them."
Wuxia understood what Xiao Feng meant.
Xiao Feng nodded to Wuxia and then said, "Find a secluded place to hide all the weaker clansmen there."
"If we find a way to expose some traces, we can lure that mysterious demon away, so that at least our bloodline can be preserved."
Wu Qi said that the mysterious great demon was very likely a fragment of the Demon Emperor's soul.
Xiao Feng was not absolutely certain that he could escape from him.
After hearing Xiao Feng say this, the many demonic beasts fell silent.
Xiao Feng didn't want them to lose their morale, but the opponent was terrifyingly strong, strong enough to destroy all their confidence.
“Master, I once discovered a very secluded place. Perhaps we can go there. The situation there is special, and there is a very high probability that we will not be discovered. If we also accidentally leave traces, we will definitely be able to lure that guy away.”
In the end, he was too flustered to speak.
Upon hearing Wuxia's words, Xiao Feng immediately asked, "Is that place far from here? Will the direction we're heading be close to where the great demon is now?"
Wuxia shook her head: "If we speed up, we can get there in about three or four days. We won't get close to the direction where the great demon is now. That's a place I accidentally discovered when I went out for training once."
Xiao Feng decided to trust Wuxia, since the system would give him hints anyway, and if they encountered a powerful demon, they could find a way to avoid it.
"Don't let them rest. Tell them about the situation. We'll travel for another three or four days and then we'll be able to find a place where we can rest for a long time," Xiao Feng said in a deep voice.
The demon beasts knew the gravity of the situation, so Xiao Feng directly exchanged a large number of pills from the system to improve their physical strength.
Any demonic beast that cannot withstand the attack can receive a pill from Xiao Feng.
In order to reach the place Wuxia mentioned as soon as possible, the monsters helped each other.
The strong led the weak, the fast carried the slow, and their large force set off in a mighty procession toward their destination.
After traveling day and night, they finally arrived at their destination in just three days.
When Xiao Feng saw this place, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Wuxia, you are really lucky to have found such a dangerous yet safe place!"
This is a spatial rift, and spatial rifts are very dangerous.
However, within this spatial rift, there is a small, stable area that is large enough to accommodate them.
