A Useless Person's Rise to Power: The Demon King's Addiction to Pampering

Everyone in Xixuan Kingdom says that the secret realm is dangerous.

Where does the danger lie?

The most dangerous creature is the man in black robes! That demon that has been lurking in the secret realm, devouring the essence and souls of the royal elites!

Feng Jiutian finally understood, and she also realized something.

That day, Qi Mo said that the masked man who announced he was looking for Ling Xuzi was a demon, which proved that the Xixuan royal family had long been infiltrated by the demon race, and that this demon race was also cooperating with this demon in the secret realm.

The demons needed a lot of essence, and the Xixuan royal family had been devoured by too many elites, so they could no longer support the black-robed man's needs. Therefore, the masked man announced that outsiders could enter.

This explains why that tournament took place.

It's not because we're looking for Lingxuzi.

Rather, it's because demons need to absorb the essence of more powerful humans. Elders of large families naturally disdain competing with juniors, and those with resources and strength are too lazy to come and take the risk. Only those with some strength but no background or support will come to the secret realm, hoping to find something.

What the masked man didn't expect was that the secret realm was rumored to be so dangerous. All the family heads thought there would be good things in the Xixuan Kingdom's secret realm, so they all sent their family's elites to come.

Of the ten people who entered the secret realm, six were from the Xixuan Kingdom, which was somewhat unexpected, not to mention that one of them was Situ Ya, the legitimate daughter of the most powerful family in Xixuan.

The man in black robes had negotiated with the masked man, telling him not to harm the Situ family and to target people from other countries instead.

Otherwise, given Situ Ya's arrogant nature, how could she have entered the secret realm for so long without being injured or noticed by the man in black robes?

Unexpectedly, the man in black robes did not harm Situ Ya, but instead let Feng Jiutian kill her.

This saved the man in black robes the trouble of doing anything.

Without Situ Ya, the black-robed man acted without restraint. He first devoured the essence of three people, and then ordered the mist demon to devour the essence of two more.

Finally, there was Mo Shen, who was killed near the teleportation array.

The man in black robes originally had the same idea as Feng Jiutian: he wanted to wait for someone to come to him and have their essence absorbed.

But he overlooked Feng Jiutian, a pawn with unpredictable potential.

So Qi Mo and Fu Lingyue were successfully sent out because he failed to stop them.

However, Ge Baofang, who was behind, was deliberately let off the hook by the man in black robes, but he put on a fierce look, which made Feng Jiutian feel strange.

Ge Baofang must have some connection with demons!

Putting that aside, just the fact that Ge Baofang pushed her to the front and almost killed her is enough for Feng Jiutian to turn the Ge family upside down!

Everyone who lays a hand on her will not escape!

"Woo——"

The wind blew through the canyon, sounding as unpleasant as something howling.

Feng Jiutian continued walking forward, using his divine sense to explore the surroundings. The demonic aura here was so strong that it could not be ignored.

"Whoosh-"

A dark shadow flashed by not far away, moving so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch it. However, Feng Jiutian's divine sense was already beyond the range of ordinary people. Even so, he could not see what it was, but could only sense its presence!

Feng Jiutian immediately followed!

"Hiss."

The demonic python roared and followed Feng Jiutian's footsteps. The faster it ran, the more alarmed Feng Jiutian became. This person was too fast!

That's right.

It's people!

The dark figure was a person, who was constantly moving through the jungle at an outrageous speed.

Feng Jiutian also sensed the strong demonic aura emanating from this person, and the look in his eyes grew even more profound.

Finally, she got closer and closer to that person. From afar, she summoned the Crimson Lotus Nightfire, channeled her spiritual power, and threw it forward!

"boom!"

A tremendous roar.

The person in front was caught in the flames of the Crimson Lotus Night Fire and hurriedly dodged to the side. He seemed to glance back at Feng Jiutian before continuing to flee.

Feng Jiutian narrowed his eyes, then gathered countless balls of crimson lotus night flames and threw them away!

They actually dared to run away!

Feng Jiutian was determined to stop this demon and find out what was going on. Clearly, there shouldn't be any living people in the secret realm, not even demons.

She couldn't detect the presence of the man in black robes, so Feng Jiutian guessed that the man in black robes had already left. Logically speaking, apart from her, there shouldn't be another living human or demon in the secret realm.

But then one suddenly appeared!

Feng Jiutian found it strange and felt that this demon must know the exit of the secret realm, otherwise why would it appear here!

However, the demon in front continued to run despite Feng Jiutian's fierce attacks, without stopping at all, even though it had suffered severe injuries.

Gradually, Feng Jiutian realized that something was wrong.

This demon...

It's as if they don't feel pain.

No matter how severe the blow, he continued running as if nothing had happened, as if he had some kind of goal.

Feng Jiutian considered himself to have a strong capacity for endurance, but he couldn't reach the level of this demon, who didn't even utter a muffled groan.

Gradually, Feng Jiutian's attacks weakened, but she increased her speed.

She needed to catch up with the demon as soon as possible and ask him what was going on and how he had ended up in the secret realm.

Half an hour has almost passed.

The two continued to move through the forest, and the distance between them did not shorten at all. Feng Jiutian was fast, and the demon was fast too. They chased each other but neither could catch up with the other, and neither could shake the other off.

Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Feng Jiutian shouted—

"wait!"

The figure in front paused for a moment, as if looking back at Feng Jiutian, then ran even faster!

Enraged, Feng Jiutian exhaled deeply, channeled his inner energy into his dantian, and focused all his spiritual power into the soles of his feet before charging towards the demon.

This time, Feng Jiutian didn't get distracted and focused all her power on her feet, so she was incredibly fast. In just a moment, she caught up with the demon who had just increased his speed and intercepted him.

"Speak! Who are you?!"

Feng Jiutian threw the person to the ground, placed his sword against the demon's neck, and exuded an imposing aura.

The demon was wearing a tattered linen garment with many patches that looked like they had been sewn on by the demon himself, which made Feng Jiutian frown slightly.

She sensed that something was wrong.

If this demon and the man in black robes are in cahoots, how could they not even have a decent set of clothes? Why would they need to sew them themselves?

Feng Jiutian found it very strange and looked at the demon warily. She pressed the fine snow in her hand and said in a slightly cold voice, "Speak! Otherwise, I'll take your life!"

"I……"

The demon spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, as if he hadn't spoken in a long time. He said, "I am not a demon."

"With such a strong demonic aura, how could it not be?"

Feng Jiutian remained unmoved. She could sense a strong demonic aura emanating from this demon, which could not possibly be human.
