Demon Clan's Old Monster

Too strong...

This person is simply too strong!

He was pulled out by someone with a single hand, unable to even stir a ripple in the other's gaze. The gap in their strength was beyond imagination.

An existence like this was far beyond what any human cultivator he had encountered before could compare to.

From terror, to shock, and finally to obediently staring in awe.

The entire process took only a few breaths, yet it utterly shattered this monster's tens of thousands of years of experience and knowledge, leaving not a trace of its earlier imposing manner. Now, it was like a deflated ball of dejection, a transformation as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

Looking at its now docile appearance, there wasn't the slightest ripple in Yi Feng's eyes.

This kind of thing was far too normal.

He had long since anticipated it.

Even though this place looked treacherous, it was impossible to run into the big boss right from the start. If encountering powerful beings were that easy, he wouldn't have failed so many times in his quest for death.

Sigh...

Life isn't easy.

Hopefully, this time he can succeed in finding death.

A flicker of loneliness as pure as snow passed through his eyes as Yi Feng sized up the shriveled little monster.

"What are you, and what's the situation with this place?"

That indifferent gaze, as calm as if looking at an ant, and the casual, utterly fearless tone, perfectly embodied the demeanor of a peerless master!

This wasn't just kicking an iron plate—it was more like kicking a plate of indestructible diamond!

The monster was so scared, sweat poured down like rain!

Not daring to be the slightest bit presumptuous, it immediately began trembling and offering an ingratiating smile!

"G-great one!"

"This lowly one is Lin Kui, of the demon race."

"As for this realm, it was built by cultivators from Fengxue Island to imprison and seal away all sorts of captured fiends and monsters. Besides demon races like me, there are also exiled human cultivators, ferocious beasts from ancient times, and terrifying demons."

"For a long time now, we've been sealed by formations, our life force waning. To survive, we have no choice but to fight and kill each other, competing for life force..."

"This lowly one truly did not know of your esteemed arrival. My earlier actions were driven by greed for survival. I beg for your forgiveness, great one..."

This creature seemed quite perceptive. In a few short sentences, it answered in exhaustive detail and even tacked on a plea for mercy. It was the epitome of knowing one's place, shrewd to the point of nearly attaining enlightenment.

Yi Feng gave a slight nod and continued asking the key questions.

"According to what you say, there really are very powerful beings inside? What level does your strength represent in this Prison of Demon Suppression?"

The shriveled monster hurriedly nodded, repeatedly bowing!

"Your insight is profound, great one! Truly profound!"

"The Prison of Demon Suppression holds many immensely powerful existences, both demons and devils. Those truly terrifying old monsters possess cultivation so dreadful they wouldn't bother wasting strength for mere life force. For ages, they have remained hidden deep within, in their own respective territories!"

"This lowly one's strength is insignificant. I can only fight for life force in the outer regions. It was a desperate move, which led to offending you, great one. I beg for your forgiveness..."

"My meager strength is but that of an ant within the Prison of Demon Suppression. I have an eighty-thousand-year-old mother above and a three-year-old child below. I beseech you, great one, to show mercy and spare my wretched life!"

While the explanation was detailed, the nonsense at the end made Yi Feng frown.

This little monster was a real piece of work...

To save its skin, this guy would say anything, completely discarding any sense of face. He was a creature so deficient in life force, where would he even get a three-year-old child?

Yi Feng was no fool; he couldn't be so easily deceived.

After a brief moment of contemplation,

he deduced that the first half of the information was likely true. Ignoring the latter pleas for mercy, he continued questioning with a stern face.

"So, you're saying there must be terrifying demons and devils deep inside. What exactly is the strongest existence, and where can it be found?"

As soon as the words fell, the shriveled little monster trembled all over with fright!

Good heavens...

What exactly is this lord's purpose, asking about the strongest right off the bat?

The little monster was shocked once more, but it had no time to ponder. It quickly answered with trepidation.

"The strongest existence... must be the devils!"

"Devils are born cruel and bloodthirsty, endlessly devouring other living beings. All the races here have an unspoken understanding: whenever a devil appears to fight, everyone will unite to attack it."

"Otherwise, everyone would eventually be consumed by the devils!"

For a long time, even though many devils have been eradicated, with only a few old monsters hiding in the deep darkness, they still fill all the beings in the Prison of Demon Suppression with fear and dread. The very name 'Prison of Demon Suppression' comes from this. From the beginning, this place was built to seal away the terrifying devils.

After this nervous whisper, the little monster put on a fawning smile.

"Great one..."

"This lowly one has told you everything I know. I beg you, in light of my sincere repentance, to spare my life..."

Yi Feng finally nodded in satisfaction.

"Hmm, not bad."

This place truly didn't disappoint. Not only were there terrifying old monsters from various races, but also the terrifying devils feared by all. It seemed his quest for death held great promise.

This time, it should be a sure thing.

Looking at the little monster's ingratiating smile, Yi Feng nodded with satisfaction.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Although this monster was incompetent and posed no real threat, keeping it alive could yield more information, which was far more useful than killing it for a tiny bit of experience.

Upon hearing this, the little monster was overjoyed, secretly congratulating itself on its cleverness. If not for its quick wits, it would surely have been done for today!

"Thank you, great one! Thank you!"

But before it could finish bowing,

Yi Feng, looking towards the dark path ahead, already had a gleam of anticipation in his eyes.

"Don't thank me yet."

"Since you know so much, hurry up and take me to find the devils."

As soon as the words were spoken,

The little monster's smile froze on its face. Staring at Yi Feng's harmless smile, it suddenly felt a terrifying chill sweep through its entire body, as if it had glimpsed the true face of a devil.

Instantly!

The little monster's eyes widened in shock, its pupils trembling violently!
