863 The Secret Behind the Southern Region (1/2)

Xie He's speed was very fast.

Although he no longer had his pincers, his speed had increased on the other hand.

The color of the sky had just hit daybreak. Just as the first ray of light shone down, Xie He had reached the Hundred Thousand Mountains, landing on the entrance of it.

Looking over from a distance, there was a layer of twisted Nether energy around the Hundred Thousand Mountains. The entire sky of Nether energy was like malevolent claws and teeth, letting out a soundless roar that rushed toward the heavens.

A trace of reverence leaked out of Xie He's eyes. He knew that within that Hundred Thousand Mountains, there was an extremely powerful existence.

Thinking about his four great generals that had been roasted bright red, he once again thought of the two pincers that he had no choice but to give up on. Xie He felt his heart bleed. His rage was also blazing, and his resentment for Bu Fang had also reached the peak.

Originally, he could have been a local tyrant in that Light Wind Empire, but because of the sudden appearance of that guy, it had caused him to escape out of the Light Wind Empire with an incomparably pathetic figure.

This time, he must ask an expert from his tribe to get revenge for him!

Stepping into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the Nether energy within the mountain was turbulent as it boiled.

A mountain peak stood majestically.

On that mountain peak, there was a huge winding tree that hid the sky and covered the earth. Its lush tree leaves seemed to block everything in sight.

The tree branch rolled up, forming a circle. Within that circle, Nether energy continuously surged and boiled, and within that energy, experts from the Ruin Prison could be seen walking out from time to time.

This was the Mandala Tree's transportation gate. It was the passage that allowed them to be able to reach this place.

A fanatical color appeared in Xie He's eyes. On that thick tree branch, there were experts sitting cross-legged, resting with their eyes closed.

These experts were Great Ethereal Realm existences that came from the Ruin Prison. Their energies were extremely terrifying.

They sat cross-legged on top of the tree branch, borrowing the energy released from the Mandala Tree to cultivate.

Suddenly, a Great Ethereal Realm expert opened his eyes. The sight from his eyes seemed to rip the illusionary void into shreds, causing Xie He's heart to tremble.

Xie He hurriedly lowered his head in deference.

Those were the Great Ethereal Realm experts of their demon scorpion race. Not long after, the grievance that Xie He felt in his heart was all spilled out as he thoroughly described his experiences.

The Great Ethereal Realm experts of the demon scorpion race did not have a trace of sympathy for Xie He, who had broken two of his pincers.

”The Mandala Tree transported you guys over to let you guys deal with proper business, not for you to enjoy life. You only have yourself to blame.”

Xie He was lectured for quite a bit, but he did not dare to let out even a breath. Although his heart was sullen, he did not dare to speak.

The status of the Great Ethereal Realm experts was already counted to be quite noble, and they were many times nobler than him.

He, Xie He, was only half a step into the Great Ethereal Realm, not even reaching the Great Ethereal Realm realm yet, so towards a Great Ethereal Realm expert, he would naturally have the reverence that he was supposed to have.

”Do you know that our Ruin Prison is attacking the Hidden Dragon Continent? In such a remote and backward place, why should such a large force deal with it?” that Great Ethereal Realm expert asked.

Xie He's figure shook.

How would he know the secret behind it? All he knew was to follow orders to finish the task that was given to him.

That Great Ethereal Realm stood up on the Mandala Tree. Standing on the tree branch, he crossed his arms, gazing into the distance.

”There's no harm in telling you. If we can find it, then it could be counted as a great merit. The objective of us invading the Hidden Dragon Continent is to find the remains of the previous strongest demon king of our Ruin Prison…” the Great Ethereal Realm expert calmly said.

When Xie He heard that, his entire figure trembled.

The remains of the strongest demon king?

As of this day, there were eight great demon kings in the Ruin Prison. But a long time ago, there were nine great demon kings, and that demon king was the strongest in the Ruin Prison, no matter in cultivation or combat ability.

However, this demon king had already fallen, and he had fallen a long time ago.

And from the various sources, it seemed like the strongest demon king had fallen in the Hidden Dragon Continent.

Out of the eight great demon kings of the Ruin Prison, four had agreed with this view. Hence, they had advocated for attacking the Hidden Dragon Continent, while the remaining four demon kings had remained neutral.

And this had led to the current situation.

”Although the place is a remote Southern Region… the possibility of the demon king's remains being there is high… If this matter was messed up because of you lazy people, then you guys will have to bear the blame.”

That Great Ethereal Realm expert said a lot, so Xie He listened obediently.

In the end, that Great Ethereal Realm expert sent out a Great Ethereal Realm expert to head to the Light Wind Empire, even though the Light Wind Empire was not that important.

After all, Xie He was one of the demon scorpion race. To be humiliated in such a backward place, they naturally had to win that face back.

…

The next day…

The snowstorm still fluttered in the sky.

Xiao Xiaolong had returned to the restaurant and resumed cooking, which meant that the restaurant had also resumed business.

After not meeting for a long period of time, Xiao Xiaolong's culinary skills had improved greatly, actually passing Bu Fang's expectations. This made the latter a little surprised.

Xiao Xiaolong was really proud. After all, to be able to shock Bu Fang with his culinary skills, this meant that his improvement was not small.

However, after Bu Fang displayed a few moves, Xiao Xiaolong began to feel the gap between them.

When Bu Fang's dish was cooked, its aroma was incomparably dense. After sniffing it, Xiao Xiaolong's entire feelings seemed to have become a lot lighter and happier.

No matter what skill, whether it be heat control or knife skills, Xiao Xiaolong felt that Bu Fang was like a majestic mountain.

He was still far away…

The snowstorm blew, and the sweeping chill entered the small restaurant.

Bu Fang pulled out a chair, sitting in front of the restaurant. He leaned against the chair as he quietly watched the entire sky of snow. This was a different type of feeling.

Ouyang Xiaoyi was very lively. As a waitress, she was much more professional than Chu Changsheng that lazy guy.
