"What do you think?"
I glanced at the Huangqi Demon King and said coldly.
Huang Qi Monster King's eyes turned, and he immediately stopped the monsters who were rushing over: "Stop, don't hurt Qing Yun, and don't hurt this little brother first."
As he spoke, the demonic aura on the Demon King Huangqi was suddenly released, shocking the other members of the demon tribe.
Those monsters were naturally afraid of the Demon King Huangqi, so they all returned to their original places obediently and did not attack the snake monster Qingyun again.
I retracted the pure Yang aura on my body, looked at the Huangqi Demon King with a smile, and said softly: "Chief Huangqi, since you are the patriarch of the entire ancient demon clan, I will speak frankly. I came here today for the fragments of the ancient demon clan's divine map."
When he heard me talk about the fragments of the divine map, the Huangqi Demon King's gray-yellow eyes glanced at the snake demon Qingyun behind me, and then moved on to me.
"Oh, you came here for the fragments of the ancient divine map? Did the snake demon Qingyun tell you about the fragments of the divine map?"
Huang Qi Demon King looked a little gloomy, and said unhappily. His wrinkled face was filled with coldness.
I smiled slightly and shook my head, "Not really. Even if the snake demon Qingyun wasn't there, I would have found this place. It's just a matter of time. Because I already knew about the fragments of the ancient divine map."
"Also, I have obtained four fragments of the divine map."
My words made the Huangqi Demon King's body tremble.
Then, it began to look at me carefully and seriously.
"What do you mean by that?"
I smiled and said, "What I mean is that I have become the guardian of the fragments of the ancient divine map, or in other words, the leader. Today I came to your ancient demon clan to subdue the fragments of the ancient demon clan's divine map. This is my purpose."
I said this very loudly, and all the demon tribe members who were watching nearby heard what I said.
For a moment, the demon tribe members were talking about it.
"What? This human is the guardian of the fragments of the ancient divine map. How is this possible? The fragments of the ancient divine map have been scattered and dispersed. How could this human possibly obtain them?"
"Yes, the Yellow Emperor is the owner of the sacred map of mountains, rivers, and the state. How come a guardian has appeared now? Moreover, the Yellow Emperor has already fallen in ancient times, so it is impossible for him to leave any instructions."
"I guess this human might be a liar. He was brought into the fragments of our ancient demon clan's divine map by Qingyun just to seek benefits from our demon clan. He is definitely not a good person."
Those members of the ancient demon tribe were talking endlessly, saying all kinds of things.
Moreover, most of the demon tribe members are hostile to me.
Instead, it was the Demon King Huang Qi who stared at me with a serious look.
"You said you are the guardian of the fragments of the ancient divine map. What evidence do you have to prove it?"
The Huangqi Demon King raised his black eyebrows slightly, and the gloom in his eyes became increasingly heavy.
I could see that if I didn't prove it, this demon king would definitely take action against me at the first opportunity.
I smiled, then reached into the cloth bag and took out the fragment of the divine map that was synthesized by the ancient humans, ancient sea tribes, ancient ghost tribes, and ancient beast tribes.
"Chief Huang Qi, I believe in your vision. Please take a look at this first."
When I showed me the fragment of the divine map, the whole body of the Huangqi Demon King trembled.
Then, its breathing became rapid, and it said in surprise: "It is actually... It is actually a fragment of the ancient divine map, and it is really... It is made up of four fragments of the divine map pieced together."
The corners of my mouth curled up slightly with a hint of pride, and I smiled and said, "Yes, Huang Qi
Patriarch, just believe it."
The Huangqi Demon King swallowed his saliva and then walked towards me.
I stood there motionless, feeling defensive.
The Huangqi Demon King came in front of me, staring at me with a burning look as if his eyes were sucked away by the fragment of the divine map in my hand.
"Um... little brother, can I see the fragment of the divine map in your hand?"
The old hand of the Huangqi Demon King was trembling when he stretched out his hand.
I nodded: "Sure."
Afterwards, I handed the piece of the divine map to the Huangqi Demon King in his astonished gaze.
Looking at the fragments of the divine map in his hand, for some reason, tears actually flowed out from the corners of Huangqi Demon King's eyes.
It muttered, "It really is a fragment of the divine map from ancient times. It really is... I didn't expect that the ancestor demon's prediction was true. There really is a new guardian who has taken over the fragment of the divine map."
As he spoke, the Demon King Huang Qi moved his body and knelt down towards me: "Demon King Huang Qi greets the new master! I am sorry that my people have offended me just now, I hope the new master will not blame me."
Eh, you surrendered already? Not so fast.
In the distance, those demon tribe members who were still talking among themselves were shocked when they saw this scene.
But the demon kings had all knelt down, and they hurriedly knelt on the ground with their trembling demon bodies.
I was surprised, but I quickly helped the demon king Huang Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
"Monster King Huangqi, don't you want to ask something else? Why do you trust me so much?" I asked suspiciously.
Huang Qi Demon King reached out his hand to wipe the tears from his face and said respectfully, "Little brother, no, Master, you don't know. Our ancient demon clan's deceased ancestor demon once used the last of his life to calculate the future of our demon clan. He said that our demon clan will welcome a magical man in the future. That will be our future."
"And you, my master, are our future."
When saying these words, there was a mixture of joy and sadness in the eyes of the Huangqi Demon King.
Ancestral demon
I think he should be the most powerful person in the demon clan. But he has already died. It seems that his life span has been exhausted and he can't obtain pure spiritual energy, so he died early.
Nodding, I took the fragment of the divine map from the hands of Huangqi Demon King, and then asked, "Then, Senior Demon King, are you willing to let me control the fragment of the ancient demon clan's divine map?"
All in all, this is the result I want.
Huang Qi Demon King nodded and said seriously: "Of course I and my people are willing."
As long as you are willing.
I nodded, pretending to be an expert, with my hands behind my back, and said, "Well, in that case, you take me to the location of the ancient demon clan's central hub now."
"Yes, Master."
After receiving the order respectfully, Demon King Huangqi looked behind him and gave a few instructions, asking the demon members not to move, to stay where they were and wait for orders.
Those monsters, including the old tree monster, looked at me in dumbfounded eyes.
Seeing this, the snake demon Qingyun shouted loudly: "Master, no, new master, you promised me to spare my life. I am the one who brought you into the space of the fragments of the ancient demon clan's divine map. New master, you must save me. Qingyun begs you..."
I stopped and looked at Huang Qi Monster King, saying, "Senior Monster King, look..."
Huangqi Demon King looked at Qingyun and then at me, and said, "Master, I understand what you mean."
Then, Huang Qi Monster King gave orders to all the monster tribe members, saying: "Qing Yun, leaving the ancient monster tribe without permission is an unforgivable crime, but it can come back, which means that it has realized its mistake. Moreover, it has also brought back the mysterious man that the ancestor monster deduced, that is, me.
It has brought us the future ruler of our demon race. This is its contribution to our demon race."
"Now I declare that although the great demon Qing Yun has done something wrong, she does not deserve to die. Although the death penalty can be avoided, the punishment for living cannot be escaped. Come, capture her, take her away, and send her to the Cliff of Repentance, where she will reflect on her sins for a thousand years."
Hearing the order from the Demon King Huangqi, the snake demon Qingyun hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Grandma, for letting me go. Thank you very much!"
At this time, two members of the demon tribe, a demon leopard and a demon wolf, captured the snake demon Qingyun and took her away. It seemed that they took the snake demon to the Siguo Cliff.
"Master, let's go. The central hub of our demon clan is up there."
The Huangqi Demon King raised his finger and pointed at the pavilion high on the stone mountain and said.
I nodded and followed the Demon King Huang Qi with Elder Ma.
When we were heading to the central hub, the demon king Huang Qi couldn't help but ask me, "My lord, how come you have such pure spiritual energy? That spiritual energy is obviously not absorbed from the spirit stone. Is it you... "
I admitted, "Yes, Senior Demon King, you are right. The spiritual energy in my body is indeed not absorbed from the spirit stone, but from the air. To be honest, I have mastered a method to absorb 'spiritual energy'."
"Not only me, if the members of your demon race master this method, they can also practice it."
After hearing what I said, the demon king Huang Qi became even more excited, and he kept saying, "Great, great! If this is true, then our demon clan can continue to practice, and we can prosper and grow stronger again."
The Demon King Huangqi also told me about their ancient demon clan.
The ancient demon tribe has been staying inside the fragments of the divine map since the end of the ancient times.
However, the spiritual energy in the fragments of the divine map was not much, and after a few years, the spiritual energy was completely exhausted. The ancestors of the demon clan went to the outside world to look for spiritual energy, but found that the spiritual energy in the outside world was also exhausted. They had no choice but to return to the ancient demon clan.
Fortunately, the ancient demon tribe did not have too many members, and many spirit stones were left behind, which allowed their descendants to continue.
However, the spiritual stones have been consumed over the years and there are not many left. Some members of the demon tribe have thought about leaving the ancient demon tribe.
However, the members of the demon clan were forbidden to leave the ancient demon clan. The purpose was to prevent them from causing trouble in the outside world.
Monsters can use blood to cultivate, but the world is currently controlled by humans. Once they touch the roots of humans, even if they are ancient monsters, they will be punished by heaven.
Therefore, successive patriarchs of the demon clan would prohibit their members from entering the outside world, that is, the world of the living.
But they couldn't go out and had no spirit stones, so many of the tribesmen died because their lifespans ran out.
When saying these words, there was helplessness in the eyes of Huangqi Demon King.
However, its intention to preserve the ancient demon clan and its unwillingness to harm others is worthy of praise.
Soon, the three of us reached the highest point of the stone mountain.
The attic stood there quietly, like an old man who had experienced the vicissitudes of life and was witnessing the changes of the ancient demon clan.
The attic is painted with bright gold, giving it an awe-inspiring feel.
There are three big characters written on the plaque of the attic, all of which are ancient characters. The name of the attic is "Ancestor Pavilion".
Seeing me staring at the plaque, the demon king Huang Qi introduced: "Master, this Ancestral Pavilion is the place where our demon kings of all generations died. It is also the central hub of the divine map fragments. In addition, the demon souls of the ancestral demons of all generations live in the central hub to guard the fragments of the ancient demon clan's divine map."
"Master, if you want to obtain the fragments of the ancient demon clan's divine map, you still need to get the approval of the demon souls of the ancestral demons."
