"But if you want to let you go, this demon king can't make the decision."
Bai Guangda pondered for a moment, and finally said, "How about this, I'll take you to see the Demon Venerable. Your fate will be decided by him."
Xiao Hei frowned, putting on a very worried expression.
Bai Guangda released him and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, you, this little brother, are so clever and sensible. You are a rare talent in the demon race. The Demon Venerable has always cherished talent, and you are my little brother Bai Guangda. This demon king will also speak well of you... As long as you sincerely repent and dedicate yourself to the demon race from now on, the Demon Venerable will not make things too difficult for you."
"Then I'll trouble King Bai!"
Xiao Hei cupped his hands, his expression respectful.
"Don't be so polite, I can't bear to watch such an understanding little brother like you die!"
Bai Guangda, who had wanted to eat Xiao Hei just now, was now calling him brother.
"Talent, this is absolutely a talent!"
Chen Xiao, standing by, silently evaluated Xiao Hei.
"King Bai, what should we do now? Should we destroy the Tian Ce Army first, and then report back to the Demon Venerable."
Xiao Hei asked tentatively.
Bai Guangda raised his hand and shook his head: "We can withdraw from the Northern Territory now, and leave the rest to the Bears!"
"The Bears?"
Xiao Hei was slightly stunned.
"The Bears have always wanted to invade the Northern Territory, but they were somewhat wary of Xiao Tian Ce and the Tian Ce Army he led. When this demon king transformed, I received favor from the Bears, so this time I led the army to invade the Northern Territory, it was just to repay the favor to the Bears."
"Now that the Tian Ce Army has lost half of its men, and my demon beast army has also suffered heavy losses, I have done all I can for the Bears. As for the rest, this demon king will not interfere!"
King Bai said generously.
Chen Xiao's gaze deepened.
The demon beasts invading the Northern Territory was actually the work of the Bears.
The Bears were a great northern power, known for their belligerence and called the "fighting race."
From ancient times to the present, they have been keen on expanding their national borders.
Chen Xiao sent this message to Xiao Tian Ce, asking him to be prepared and to contact him if he encountered any insurmountable trouble.
A moment later, Xiao Zhan replied: "Received!"
If nothing unexpected happened, Xiao Zhan would receive another military medal.
Chen Xiao also abandoned the idea of poaching from the Tian Ce Army. Originally, he hoped that Xiao Zhan could leave the Tian Ce Army and enter the ancient martial arts sects to improve his cultivation, in preparation for the future doomsday battle.
But now it seemed that perhaps the Northern Territory could not do without him, this pillar of strength.
Bai Guangda got into Xiao Hei's car. He had also driven there, but his car was not as good as Xiao Hei's.
After all, Xiao Hei was driving Song Anbang's car.
Chen Xiao also quietly got into the car and sat in the back.
Clearly, Bai Guangda did not have any special way of traveling. Although he was a powerful cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage, his original form was just a large white bear. Therefore, even after reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he had not cultivated the ability to fly.
If it were a bird demon cultivator, let alone the Nascent Soul stage, even if they had just entered the Dao, they would possess the ability to fly.
This was also one of the reasons why Bai Guangda was not well-received among the demons; he was too clumsy.
"King Bai, where are we going? Where is the Demon Venerable now?"
Xiao Hei asked tentatively.
"You drive your car, and I'll give you directions."
Bai Guangda seemed to have enough trust in Xiao Hei, but in terms of actions, he was still somewhat guarded.
"King Bai, how long will we have to travel?"
Xiao Hei asked persistently.
He then added, "If this little demon girl wakes up, we'll be in trouble."
Bai Guangda glanced at Xiao Hongchan, who was wrapped in a blanket, and muttered, "It is indeed troublesome. We can't afford to offend this little ancestor."
"Oh?"
Xiao Hei quickly caught some information from this sentence: "King Bai, why do you say that? If this little demon girl dares to cause trouble when she wakes up, we can just knock her out again!"
"Nonsense!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Hei finished speaking, Bai Guangda reprimanded him, "I'm telling you, Black Skin, if this little demon girl causes a hole in the sky, you can only endure it. If you anger this little thing, we will all die!"
"King Bai, the more I listen, the more confused I become. This little demon girl is only the size of a bean, what is there to fear?"
Xiao Hei continued to probe.
"You know nothing, bloodline suppression, do you understand?"
Bai Guangda spat. "If this little demon girl transforms, her demon king bloodline will awaken. At that time, we will only be able to passively take a beating. No matter how great our abilities are, we won't be able to use them..."
After a pause, Bai Guangda muttered again, "Let alone us, even the Demon Venerable has to serve this young lady well, because the demon king bloodline also suppresses the Demon Venerable."
"What? King Bai, you're not joking with me, are you? This little bean can suppress the Demon Venerable?"
Xiao Hei's tone was exaggerated, and his face was full of disbelief. Then he questioned, "Besides, this little bean has the bloodline of a demon king in her body. You are also a demon king, how can she suppress you?"
"You kid, you really know nothing!"
Bai Guangda glanced at Xiao Hei and said in a low, muffled voice, "We four demon kings were only appointed by the Demon Venerable. This little demon girl's demon king bloodline is innate!"
Xiao Hei thought to himself, "Do I need you to tell me this? If I don't pretend to know nothing, how can I show your brilliant and mighty wisdom, you idiot?"
"So that's how it is!"
Xiao Hei said as if he had suddenly realized something, "King Bai, why don't you tell me more about what's going on with this little demon king?"
Bai Guangda pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's not impossible to tell you. As a disciple of our demon race, you should also have some understanding of the history of the demon cultivation lineage."
"In the past, the demon cultivation lineage was not as decadent as it is now. Even compared to human cultivators, they were not at a disadvantage."
"At that time, the demon cultivation lineage lived in the southern part of the Nine Provinces Continent, in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, called the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom. The Demon Kings were the kings of the Ten Thousand Demons Kingdom, and also the supreme leaders of the demon race, commanding all demons!"
"Those who possessed the bloodline of a demon king were the red panda clan."
"However, five hundred years ago, the Nine Provinces Continent fell into a catastrophe. Visitors from outside the heavens descended upon the Nine Provinces, stirring up disputes and wars on the continent!"
"With the enemy at the gate, humans and demons put aside their past grievances and united to resist the invaders from outside the heavens."
"However, the invaders from outside the heavens were too powerful. The allied forces were defeated, the Nine Provinces Continent disintegrated, and the demon race suffered heavy losses. Since then, they have been in decline, hiding in the Qingqiu Secret Realm, barely surviving."
Qingqiu Secret Realm!
Hearing this name, Chen Xiao was suddenly startled!
What was the relationship between the Qingqiu Secret Realm and the Qingqiu Illusion Realm that had once trapped him?
There was definitely more to it than just a similar name!
