There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

The disciples all looked at each other in bewilderment.

After all, they had been fighting and killing demons for so long, and this was the first time they had ever seen a demon king come up and praise them without saying a word.

Being praised by the Demon King... why does this feeling make my whole body itch?

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Although there's a saying that you can't hit a smiling face, these monsters in front of me can hardly be considered human, can they?

And don't think they didn't hear what I said earlier. These demon kings have been treating them like their prey ever since they appeared. I don't know what's gotten into them right now.

In short, it's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—it's definitely not with good intentions.

Before they could figure out what these crazy monsters were up to, none of his disciples paid him any attention, treating him like he was talking nonsense.

But the demon king clearly didn't think that way.

Seeing that they stood there silently, like honest people, as if they had been frightened into submission by his intimidation.

The demon king who had spoken earlier was very satisfied, so much so that he didn't even notice his disciples' subconscious tense and defensive movements. "Which of you made the move just now?"

Gu Xia raised an eyebrow slightly. "I did it, so what?" She could conceal her aura at any time. The group of demon kings opposite her had probably been ruling this secret realm for too long and hadn't noticed anything amiss.

Seeing that someone had taken the initiative to admit it, the demon king glanced down at her as if he were looking at an ant, "Since you have asked, then I will mercifully tell you this once."

"That illusionary forest is our territory. Since you've destroyed our land, you'll pay with your life!"

Ah...ah?!

Do you want Gu Xia to pay with her life?

Are you serious?

"Hey, what nonsense are you spouting, you birdbrain?" Ye Suian scoffed. "You've been in the secret realm for two days and you're already marking out territory? What do you mean, 'your territory'? Are you a dog that marks its territory?"

He feigned a sudden realization, "Oh, I almost forgot. After all, the prototype is a bird, which is roughly the same as a dog if you round it up. We can understand if it can mark its territory, right?"

The disciples burst out laughing instantly.

Niu Wa Ye Sui An, if you're going to curse me, then curse me a few more times.

The demon king who had spoken was completely dumbfounded by the scolding.

Not to mention him, the group of demon kings behind him were also stunned on the spot.

"How dare you call me a birdman?" The demon king was furious, letting out a sharp, piercing sonic attack. "You ignorant fool, do you know who you're talking to?"

"Believe it or not, I can crush you with one hand."

Calling him a birdman is one thing, since his prototype is indeed an eagle, but he actually dares to compare himself to a dog.

Has the cultivation world outside developed to this extent because they haven't been out for too long?

A kid who hasn't even grown his first hair dares to provoke them like this? Huh?

Upon closer inspection, it turns out this guy is a talisman cultivator!

It's outrageous!!

LOL, it would be a miracle if Ye Suian were afraid of his threats. "Of course I believe you, why wouldn't I?"

The boy had a smug grin on his face, looking incredibly irritating. He even stretched his head forward a little. "Come on, hit me. If you don't dare to lay a hand on me, then admit you're a dog."

joke.

These unfamiliar demon kings were indeed quite powerful, mostly at the Void Refinement stage or higher, with only a handful at the Nascent Soul stage.

But his junior sister is still here!

He has a junior sister, what is he afraid of?

Junior sister, do you think you can just stand by and watch that silly bird beat him to death?

Gu Lanyi clicked her tongue and added quietly, "Let's find another breed. Someone like him is an insult to dogs."

At least the dog is much smarter than him; it won't make Gu Xia pay with its life just by talking to him.

You've been picking on the easy targets for too long, haven't you? This time you've finally found a tough one.

Asking Gu Xia to pay with her life? Do you even deserve it?

The demon kings looked dazed.

ha?

No, is that right?

Feeling his dignity had been challenged, the Bird King spread his wings, ready to make a move and teach those two disciples who had insulted him a lesson.

The next second, he was grabbed by another demon king behind him.

"what are you doing?"

He turned his head, furious. "What are you doing stopping me? I'm going to tear those two damned guys to pieces!"

"Wait a minute, something doesn't seem right."

The demon king who was pulling at him didn't even lift his eyelids, completely ignoring his angry expression.

Nonsense, he wasn't the one being scolded, of course he was calm.

The demon kings, who had initially disregarded these brats, also realized the problem.

"If only one person is eager to die, we can say he's out of his mind, but we can't expect all of them to be mentally unstable cultivators, can we?"

Are the people outside crazy? Letting so many mentally unstable cultivators in.

It's obvious that something's wrong with these cultivators.

But they couldn't quite figure out exactly what was wrong with them.

After all, they are already physically strong, so expecting them to suddenly become intelligent is obviously unrealistic.

at the same time.

Gu Xia was also discussing this matter with other close associates, since, strictly speaking, she, Xu Xingmu, and Cheng Jing were all considered to have been admitted to the palace for the second time.

“The last time we entered a similar secret realm, but we encountered a Nascent Soul stage demon beast not long after we entered, and we found the exit and left before we could go any deeper.”

Given their cultivation levels at that time, encountering a Nascent Soul stage demonic beast at the very outermost edge was already considered extremely unlucky.

Fortunately, they discovered Qu Yimian at that time, and the two siblings followed her out without hesitation. Because they did not venture deep into the heart of the territory, they did not encounter the uncontrollable dangers that might have existed later.

But their luck was clearly not so good this time.

They were tricked by that strange illusion forest as soon as they entered, and before they could even come to their senses, they were fed directly to a group of demon kings.

Are you really treating them like takeout? And even bringing in those who willingly offer themselves up for free?

No one has this luck.

Cen Huan recalled the scene she had seen earlier and pondered, "Now it seems that this place is indeed dangerous. In the past, cultivators who accidentally entered this place, even if they were lucky enough to escape the illusion, would probably perish here if they encountered the Demon King again while under extreme mental tension."

No, I'm afraid even a complete corpse won't be left behind.

Her gaze swept over the group of demon kings opposite her without leaving a trace.

"Don't be nervous." Gu Xia simply explained to them that she didn't know much about this place either. "These demon kings have probably been entrenched here for a long time. We can capture them to lead the way, so we can avoid the possibility of stepping on landmines again."

To truly understand these places, one must look to the indigenous people of these hidden realms.

Unaware that Gu Xia had already set her sights on them, the demon kings suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
