Chapter 191 Kneel down
After a night's rest, Hao Chen and Zhan Hu traveled with Chi You to the Tian Duan Mountains on the ancient star of Tianhu.
The Tianduan Mountains are located in the southern part of Tianhu Ancient Star, stretching for millions of miles. There are many ancient ruins in the mountains, the most famous of which is the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.
Legend has it that the Demon Emperor was born into the Qingqiu Fox Clan. His cultivation was so profound that he had traveled far in the realm of immortality, traversing the universe and starry sky. He was the idol of the demon clan at that time.
However, some unknown event occurred later, and when the demons saw the Demon Emperor again, they were horrified to find that the Demon Emperor's life force was exhausted and he was already nearing his end.
The Demon Emperor did not explain anything, but went to the Heavenly Broken Mountains alone.
From then on, a Demon Emperor's Tomb, which opens only once every ten thousand years, was added to the Tian Duan Mountains, allowing all members of the demon race to enter and seek opportunities.
People of other races, upon entering the Demon Emperor's Tomb, will be suppressed by the rules of its inner world, making it difficult for them to compete for opportunities within.
Therefore, the people of the demon race benefited the most from the Demon Emperor's Tomb. Some of them found the Supreme Holy Scripture in the Demon Emperor's Tomb and eventually established a holy land.
Some people also found divine materials and rare gold among them, which were bought at high prices, and they obtained a large amount of resources.
Some even underwent astonishing transformations within it, their cultivation levels soaring. Because the Demon Emperor's Tomb contains so many opportunities, it is also known as the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm.
Of course, most of them died in the Demon Emperor's Tomb. But even so, it did not stop the demon race from entering the Demon Emperor's Tomb in search of opportunities.
With Chi You leading the way, Hao Chen and his group quickly arrived at the Tian Duan Mountain Range.
From a distance, the Tian Duan Mountains stretch endlessly, exuding a majestic and imposing aura. Furthermore, dragon energy flows beneath the mountains, clearly indicating that a dragon vein is being nurtured beneath them.
Hao Chen's mouth watered at the sight, and he couldn't help but have the idea of digging up the dragon vein and taking it home.
Seeing Hao Chen's dazed expression, Chi You looked at Zhan Hu curiously: "What's wrong with him?"
Zhan Hu glanced at Hao Chen and knew what he was thinking, but perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, he shook his head at Chi You: "I don't know either, but I think it should be fine!"
As Zhanhu spoke, he secretly flicked Haochen's butt with his tail, interrupting Haochen's fantasy.
Hao Chen cried out in pain, rubbing his buttocks, and said, "Zhan Hu, what are you doing? Do you want to... Ugh!!!"
Before Hao Chen could finish speaking, Zhan Hu blushed and covered Hao Chen's mouth, preventing him from continuing.
Even though Zhan Hu covered Hao Chen's mouth, Chi You knew what Hao Chen wanted to say. After all, the noise in Zhan Hu's room last night was so loud that the bed was shaking so badly it almost fell apart. She wasn't deaf, so she naturally heard everything.
Soon, Haochen and his group arrived at their destination.
Many people had already arrived and gathered in an open space.
Hao Chen glanced around and realized that there seemed to be only five forces that had come, not as many as he had imagined.
Chi You seemed to notice Hao Chen's confusion, so he explained it to him telepathically.
Hao Chen sneered after hearing this, saying that wherever there are people, there is a world of intrigue.
The Demon Emperor's Secret Realm is no longer the demon realm that any demon could enter. It is now controlled by five forces: Qingqiu Sacred Land, Demon Dragon Palace, Immortal Valley, Jietian Dao, and Netherworld Land.
These five forces are renowned throughout the universe and are all first-rate powers.
Among them, the Heavenly Dao and the Underworld originated from other ancient life-bearing planets, and were not native to the Heavenly Fox Ancient Planet.
If any other forces attempt to interfere in the demon race's secret realm, they will face joint resistance from these five forces.
The Demon Emperor's Secret Realm provides a boost to demons but suppresses other races.
In addition, it has been opened many times, and has explored almost everything except for the Demon Emperor's inheritance.
Therefore, other top-tier forces maintained a wait-and-see attitude, which was considered giving face to the five forces of Qingqiu Holy Land.
As for other forces that are not respectable, they dare not risk offending these five forces to compete for the almost impossible inheritance of the Demon Emperor.
Of course, if the Demon Emperor's legacy were to appear in the world, Hao Chen was certain that those forces would no longer remain in a wait-and-see attitude, but would personally step in to compete for the legacy.
Upon the arrival of Chi You and his entourage, a hint of hostility flashed across the faces of the high-ranking officials of the Qingqiu Holy Land.
After all, it was obvious at a glance that Chi You was not a member of the demon race, but a human.
Furthermore, Chi You arrived uninvited, and the girl's appearance made her seem harmless, so the forces of Qingqiu Holy Land naturally wouldn't give her a friendly look.
If it weren't for the concern that Chi You might be an old monster with the ability to preserve his youth, Hao Chen and his group would probably have been killed as soon as they appeared.
A middle-aged man with horns on his head stepped forward and blocked Chi You's path, saying, "You are not welcome here. Please leave."
"Get out of the way!" Chi You frowned, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, his eyes gradually turning cold.
If it weren't for the fact that the Demon Emperor's Secret Realm needed these demons to open, she would have already put them into the Human Emperor Banner. Did they really think she, Chi You, was easy to bully?
However, Chi You also decided that once she obtained that item, she would invite these demons to play inside her Human Emperor Banner.
Chi You's words did not make the middle-aged man step aside. Instead, he looked at Hao Chen and Zhan Hu beside Chi You, as if he had seen through Chi You's purpose.
"Heh, bringing two pets and you think you can compete for the Demon Emperor's inheritance? You're really not good-looking, but you've got some pretty wild ideas, little brat."
With just one sentence, this middle-aged man offended both Chi You and Hao Chen. As for Zhan Hu, he said that being a pet to its master was perfectly fine.
Hao Chen pointed at himself: "Old Deng, what did you just call me? Say it again if you dare?"
When the middle-aged man heard Hao Chen call him "Old Deng," his temples throbbed. He snorted coldly, "Hmph, you ill-mannered mutt. Didn't you see I was talking to your master? What are you doing interrupting?"
The middle-aged man seemed still not satisfied after speaking, and continued, "Like master, like dog. I'll teach you a lesson and show you how to respect your elders."
After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he slapped Hao Chen across the face. When the people below saw this, they all stopped talking and gathered together to watch Hao Chen as if they were watching a good show.
"Do you think this dog might get slapped to death?"
"Probably not, it's just a pet, a good scolding will suffice."
"That's right, it's too dirty to kill this kind of mongrel."
The people below didn't try to avoid Hao Chen during their discussion; in fact, they deliberately raised their voices, making Hao Chen's veins bulge.
Chi You and Zhan Hu silently took a few steps back, looking at the middle-aged man with a half-smile, as if to say, "You're about to be in big trouble."
The next moment, before the middle-aged man's hand could even touch Hao Chen, it exploded on the spot, and even his primordial spirit was erased by some unknown force.
Meat paste mixed with blood, flesh, and internal organs fell like raindrops, filling the people below with shock and terror.
The middle-aged man who had just made his move was a quasi-Celestial Venerable. Although he had only recently entered the quasi-Celestial Venerable realm, the sight of him being easily crushed like a chick still spurred them on.
At this moment, a young man below pointed at Hao Chen and his group and said indignantly, "How dare you! Do you know who you've offended...?"
"Shut up!" Hao Chen looked at the person who was speaking, and with just one glance, the person instantly exploded.
At this moment, everyone fell silent, staring at Hao Chen with expressions of shock.
They realized that it wasn't Chi You who had attacked, but rather the black dog beside her, which had glared at them dead in an instant.
Even so, these people still glared at Hao Chen, while Hao Chen looked down at them with an air of superiority.
"A bunch of trash. If you dare to spout any more nonsense, I'll wipe you out so you won't waste the air."
The leaders of the various factions, realizing what was happening, quickly shielded the group of young people behind them, seemingly afraid that Hao Chen would go berserk and kill all their disciples.
"Young man, you've gone too far with your pet. My junior was merely speaking the truth, and you..."
One of the elders looked coldly at Chi You, and at the same time, his aura instantly pressed down on Hao Chen.
Hao Chen snorted coldly and released his own aura, showing no weakness in his confrontation.
Chi You stepped forward a few paces, came to Hao Chen, and nodded to her, as if to say that he was handing it over to her.
Hao Chen obediently put away his imposing manner, walked to Zhan Hu's side, and looked at Zhan Hu with dissatisfaction: "Zhan Hu, you didn't even help me just now."
Zhan Hu was speechless. He wanted to say that his strength was just so-so, and he didn't even know who would help whom.
However, Zhan Hu's pride prevented him from speaking his mind.
After thinking for a moment, Zhan Hu lowered his head and whispered in Hao Chen's ear, "I will definitely feed you well after you come back from the secret realm."
"Really?!" Hao Chen's eyes lit up when he heard Zhan Hu's words, and his burning gaze fell on Zhan Hu's stomach.
Zhan Hu was startled by Hao Chen's burning gaze on his back and immediately regretted it, wondering if his back could withstand Hao Chen's ruthless advances.
Can I take back what I just said?
"What do you think, my little darling? The Pixiu has a very big belly, so you'll have to work hard."
Once you do it once, you'll do it twice, and once you do it twice, you'll do it three times. At first, Haochen felt ashamed and embarrassed when he did that kind of thing with Zhanhu.
But now he has grown up and has started to take the initiative, now he loves to pester Zhanhu for it every night.
While Hao Chen and Zhan Hu were flirting, Chi You looked at the old man and slowly said, "I do not need to explain my actions to you."
As he spoke, a wisp of true immortal aura descended, and the old man's body began to crack, as if broken porcelain had been forcibly glued back together.
At this moment, the old man felt boundless fear. He was a Celestial Venerable, and yet the other party could hurt him so easily, especially since the other party called himself "this sovereign".
Therefore, the old man was certain that the other party was definitely a true immortal, a terrifying titled true immortal.
"What a tragedy!" The old man gave a bitter laugh, then slowly knelt down before Chi You: "Elder of Qingqiu greets True Lord."
