Demon King Ridge

"Where have you brought us? This is absolutely not the territory of the Human Race!" Xiao Feng grabbed the Bird Demon beside him and demanded an answer directly.

The Bird Demon blinked its innocent eyes and said aggrievedly, "This was never the territory of the Human Race to begin with. This entire area for a million miles is not the territory of the Human Race. You only asked me to lead you out of the cave; you didn't say anything about that requirement."

Xiao Feng was completely stunned, and when he spoke again, his voice carried a hint of tremor.

"You aren't lying to me? What exactly is this place!" Xiao Feng was already panicking a little.

The Bird Demon continued to act as if it didn't know why Xiao Feng was panicking and said, "This is the territory of the Yao Race, the Yao Emperor Ridge."

The moment the Bird Demon finished speaking, Xiao Feng loosened his grip on its neck. He exchanged a glance with Zhao Yuwei, and their eyes were filled with bitterness.

It's over.

That was the only thought in both of their minds.

If they had only arrived at the border between the Human Race and the Yao Race, it would have been manageable.

But they had happened to arrive at the Yao Race's main base in the far south.

What was worse was that the closer they got to the Yao Race's main base, the more obvious the opposition between the Yao Race and the Human Race became.

Although conflicts and clashes occurred at the border between the Human Race and the Yao Race, the members of the various clans living on both sides were already familiar with each other, and their relationships were slightly more relaxed.

But the closer one got to the Yao Race's main base, the stronger the Yao Race became, and the fewer traces of the Human Race there were.

Coupled with the deep blood feud of the past, the Yao Race was extremely hateful towards the Human Race.

Of course, the Human Race was no better towards the Yao Race.

Over millions of years, the Human Race and the Yao Race had long reached the point of irreconcilable enmity.

When the Human Race was weak, they were the food for the Yao Race.

Once the Human Race could Cultivate and their strength greatly increased, they began to hunt the Yao Race in return.

Skinning them, pulling out their tendons, breaking their bones, and sucking out their marrow!

At the peak of the Human Race's glory, they were almost suppressing the Yao Race in battle!

If not for a peerless Genius appearing within the Yao Race later to level the playing field, most of the Yao Race would likely have been wiped out by the Human Race long ago.

It was precisely because of this that the Yao Race hated the Human Race even more.

However, this was not the case for all of the Yao Race.

Some clans within the Yao Race disliked fighting and had never participated in the war between the Human Race and the Yao Race, maintaining a fairly friendly attitude towards the Human Race.

None of this mattered.

After all, the location where Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei were currently staying was the Yao Race's main base; it was impossible for them to run into any Yao Race members who were friendly towards the Human Race.

"From the beginning, I thought it was very strange. That cave was clearly something only we of the Yao Race could enter, yet you two of the Human Race appeared there."

"I didn't expect that you didn't even know where you were. So, how did you get in?" the Bird Demon asked, feigning concern.

Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei were exhausted.

If they had known earlier that they were entering such a place, they would have been better off staying in the cave; perhaps it would have been a bit safer.

"This is the southernmost territory of the Yao Race. If we want to return to the Ming Cult, not to mention that we would definitely be hunted down by the Yao Race, we would also have to cross the endless sea, the ten-thousand-mile forest, the continuous snow-capped mountains, and the boundary between the Human Race and the Yao Race."

"Only then could we return to the territory of the Human Race and go back to the Ming Cult. We would also have to avoid the pursuit of those from the Righteous Path first. Without a dozen years or so, I'm afraid it won't be possible!"

Xiao Feng did not answer the Bird Demon but instead discussed the matter with Zhao Yuwei on his own.

Zhao Yuwei also knew that what Xiao Feng said was indeed the current situation.

But they could not stay in the Yao Race's main base forever.

If their identities as members of the Human Race were discovered by the Yao Race, wouldn't they be finished?

"I just used my Divine Sense to investigate. For some reason, the aura of the Yao Race on this small island is not very strong. Let's conceal our own auras and stay here for now, acting according to circumstances," Xiao Feng said helplessly.

That was all they could do for now, and Zhao Yuwei nodded.

Such a powerful shock had only caused Xiao Feng a slight headache when he first learned the unfortunate news.

But soon, Xiao Feng figured it out.

They had originally intended to leave the Ming Cult.

By running so far away all at once, the Tianyi Sect would certainly not be able to find any trace of them, and he would also be able to avoid the crazed attempts by Su Xueqing to assassinate Zhao Yuwei.

Apart from the fact that the two of them were in more danger here, there was nothing bad about it.

Perhaps they would soon find a way back to their original continent.

Since they had arrived, they might as well settle in.

Since they could not leave here in the short term, they still needed to find a place to rest first.

Because the Bird Demon was leading the way for them, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei did not get lost on the small island.

Soon, under the reluctant guidance of the Bird Demon, the two found a place suitable for resting.

After the two of them sat down for a moment, they realized that the Taowu had already run off to who knows where.

Xiao Feng's eyes darkened, and he communicated directly with the System, ordering the System to trigger the toxins in the Taowu's body.

Sure enough, not long after, the Taowu returned from outside with a face full of rage.

Upon arriving in the territory of the Yao Race, the Taowu naturally resumed its original form.

Its massive body appeared before Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei, and it really did have a somewhat intimidating feel.

It was a pity that Xiao Feng was not afraid of it at all; he even complained that the Taowu was blocking his light and said directly, "Can't you shrink your size a bit? I don't care if you change back to your original form, but you're blocking too much light like this!"

The Taowu was so angry it wished it could swallow Xiao Feng in one bite.

"You promised me before! You said you would let me go! Are you going back on your word now?" the Taowu retorted angrily at Xiao Feng.

"I am not going back on my word. Isn't it because your own poison flared up that you came back? What does this have to do with me!" Xiao Feng said innocently.

"But you clearly already neutralized the toxins in my body, so why is there still some left? You never completely neutralized the poison for me! Neutralize this poison too, immediately!" the Taowu said.

Xiao Feng shook his head at the Taowu: "That won't work. The poison I promised to neutralize for you was the poison I administered to you back in the Secret Realm."

"However, the toxins currently in your body are ones I administered afterwards, which are not within the scope of our agreement. Moreover, the antidote for this poison is administered in stages, and there is currently no antidote to completely neutralize it."

After Xiao Feng finished saying this with a smile, the Taowu was completely enraged and charged directly towards Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei.

However, Xiao Feng and Zhao Yuwei did not dodge or avoid it.

Xiao Feng still wore that smiling expression as he looked at the Taowu.

Seeing the Taowu getting closer and closer, Xiao Feng spoke abruptly.

"However, the time between each flare-up will get longer, and once you have been poisoned with this, other poisons will have no effect on you."

The Taowu's fangs stopped one meter in front of Xiao Feng.

"Oh, right, this toxin is one I researched myself, and even my foster father doesn't know what the antidote is. If you kill me, this poison will truly never be neutralized."

Xiao Feng was simply having the System control the Taowu to make it suffer; naturally, only Xiao Feng could stop it.

Because the Taowu hadn't been poisoned with anything at all.
