"I really didn't lie to you!"
Outside the secret chamber, the white-robed youth looked anxious. He spoke rapidly, like a torrential downpour, shouting, "That fragment of the Primordial Chaos Realm map is used to suppress an unparalleled demon!"
"If it weren't for such an important purpose, do you think I would place something so precious inside so many layers of tightly sealed protective formations?"
The white-clad youth spoke rapidly, as if afraid the other party wouldn't believe him.
Upon hearing the white-robed youth's words, Qin Feng and Ling Xueyan were both slightly taken aback. They exchanged a glance, then turned around almost simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the center of the secret chamber.
In the center of the secret room, a thick, ink-like black mist had appeared, seemingly out of nowhere.
This layer of black mist seemed to have a life of its own, slowly rolling and surging, giving people a sinister and terrifying feeling.
"This is demonic energy!"
Upon seeing this, Qin Feng's expression instantly turned gloomy, his pupils contracted sharply, and a look of horror appeared on his face.
His brows were furrowed, his lips were pressed tightly together, and his whole expression became extremely solemn.
In contrast, Ling Xueyan's reaction was not as intense as Qin Feng's, but she also frowned, her beautiful eyes flashing with surprise and uncertainty.
Her willow-leaf eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and the expression on her pretty face was sometimes gloomy, and sometimes showed a hint of hesitation and contemplation.
However, no matter how many thoughts were swirling in her mind, her gaze remained firmly fixed on the churning demonic energy ahead, as if trying to see through the layers of mist to uncover the secrets hidden within.
These demonic energies are extremely pure, and the chilling aura they emit is bone-chilling, as if it could freeze a person's soul.
Under the eerie black mist, the entire secret room was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
Qin Feng pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Ling Xueyan. Seeing that she remained unmoved, he couldn't help but frown.
Why are you still standing there like a fool, not moving at all?
"Quickly put that fragment of the Primordial Chaos Realm map back in its original place!"
This fragment of the Primordial Chaos Realm map actually has a magical effect of suppression. Although Qin Feng cannot be sure whether it is real or fake for the time being, he absolutely dares not take it lightly or risk it rashly.
However, when his urgent words reached Ling Xueyan's ears, she seemed not to hear them and remained standing quietly in place.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the surging demonic energy ahead, as if she were deep in thought, making it difficult to guess what she was planning.
Upon seeing this scene, Qin Feng's face instantly turned ashen, as if a storm was about to break.
He raised his voice again and roared at Ling Xueyan, "Ling Xueyan, what exactly do you want to do?"
This time, Ling Xueyan finally showed some reaction.
She turned her head slowly and gracefully, her gaze falling on Qin Feng. She slightly furrowed her slender, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows and said softly, "Don't let that guy intimidate you!"
She paused briefly before continuing, "What so-called peerless demon? In my opinion, he's nothing more than a demon at the half-step Heavenly Dao Realm! There's no need to be so afraid!"
Just as Qin Feng was about to open his mouth to speak, suddenly, the anxious voice of the white-robed youth came from outside the secret chamber.
"How utterly foolish! That guy isn't just any ordinary demon; he's from the most mysterious and powerful ancient demon race!"
The boy in white spoke with a tone full of panic and worry.
He then added, "This ancient demon race is far more volatile, ruthless, and bloodthirsty than ordinary demons!"
"If you let this guy break free and escape, then you will all face certain death!"
Upon hearing the name "Ancient Demon Clan," Ling Xueyan, who was standing to the side, had a slight change in expression, but she quickly shook her head, indicating that she firmly did not believe it.
"Absolutely impossible! The ancient demon race was completely wiped out in the distant primordial world! There's no way any of them could have survived."
However, faced with Ling Xueyan's questioning, the white-robed youth scoffed disdainfully. "Hmph! What do you know? The ancient demon race wasn't completely wiped out; a small portion survived and migrated to the outer world!"
After hearing the white-robed youth's words, Ling Xueyan opened her mouth as if to argue again, but ultimately chose to remain silent.
At this moment, she seemed to realize the seriousness of the situation, and thus fell into deep thought once again.
At the same time, Qin Feng frowned deeply, his expression shifting between light and dark.
From the brief conversation between Ling Xueyan and the white-robed youth, he could easily deduce that this so-called ancient demon clan must possess unimaginable and terrifying strength.
Is Ling Xueyan out of her mind?
Since you know the ancient demon clan is incredibly powerful, why are you still indifferent?
"Ling Xueyan, I'm telling you this one last time: put the fragment of the Primordial Origin Realm map back in its original place immediately!"
Qin Feng stared coldly at Ling Xueyan, raising his right hand high the Zhuxian Sword, which radiated endless cold light and sharp sword energy, its tip pointing directly at Ling Xueyan.
Faced with this situation, Ling Xueyan's slender eyebrows furrowed slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Qin Feng's expressionless face, and she asked, "Do you intend to give up this fragment of the Primordial Origin World map?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng snorted coldly and replied, "It's not that I want to give up on it, but given the current situation we face, we absolutely cannot allow it to appear in the world rashly before we are absolutely certain that we can successfully deal with that legendary ancient demon!"
However, Ling Xueyan appeared very calm and composed. She gently shook her head and said in a calm tone, "So what if it's an ancient demon? That person outside is just exaggerating and spreading alarmist rumors!"
Seeing that Ling Xueyan was determined not to put the fragment of the Primordial World Map back in its original place, Qin Feng completely lost his patience. "Hmph, Ling Xueyan, you forced me to do this!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Feng prepared to swing the Immortal Execution Sword in his hand.
However, at that moment, Ling Xueyan quickly spoke up to stop her. "Wait, I'll put it back!"
Clearly, Ling Xueyan still didn't dare to fight Qin Feng and had no choice but to back down and compromise.
Qin Feng didn't speak, but just stared straight at Ling Xueyan.
"well……"
Ling Xueyan sighed helplessly, then immediately took out the exquisite wooden box containing the fragments of the Primordial World map from her storage necklace and put it back in its original place.
