Full level of enlightenment: I achieved Daozu by ascending to the lower realm

Ning Qi agreed and then said, "You'd better hurry."

"it is good."

Xu Qingqiu nodded repeatedly, and the illusory figure suddenly disappeared.

He was obviously going to report the situation to his master.

"Master, this matter is so serious, what have we been doing here these past two days?"

"So, our job is simply to protect them here?"

After Ning Qi put the jade pendant away, Yao Ling realized something: "This can't go on forever, can it?"

"That's so simple."

Ning Qi smiled and then said, "Why don't we just go to the demons' lair?"

"Huh? Master, isn't this too dangerous?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Ling immediately frowned.

This is indeed very dangerous for them.

Although I successfully deceived the demons I encountered outside.

But this was encountered outside, not in the demon's lair.

This is relatively safe, but if you go to their stronghold, that might not be the case.

If they were discovered, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

Going to someone's lair is like entering a mountain gate; even if you're not the best, there are at least a few experts guarding it.

If they want to cause trouble again, they'd better think twice.

"It's alright. Don't forget, I am also half a demon."

Ning Qi glanced at Yao Ling, then turned his gaze forward: "We spotted them from this direction before, so let's try our luck this way."

"Ok."

Although Yao Ling was unwilling, she had no choice but to agree.

"set off!"

After identifying a direction, Ning Qi suddenly set off.

It leaped forward.

Traveling between mountains.

At first, there were no discoveries in these mountains.

Later on, a clue gradually emerged.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Ning Qi stopped to observe, which made Yao Ling tense as well.

They quickly inquired about the situation.

"It's okay, I'm just trying to figure out if I'm going the wrong way."

Ning Qi shook his head, then continued, "I sensed traces of demonic energy here, so I'm sure I'm right."

"Yes, I also feel something is very strange. What gives me this ominous feeling is probably the presence of demons."

Yao Ling also experienced it for a while, and then said with deep agreement.

"Okay, let's continue."

Ning Qi nodded and continued on his way.

Soon, he arrived at the end of a mountain range.

After he arrived here, he stopped again.

"Master, have you discovered anything this time?"

Yao Ling looked around in confusion: "But there's nothing here."

“There are traces of restrictions here.”

Ning Qi pointed here, then said in a deep voice, "They can hide themselves using some kind of array or restriction."

"Otherwise, it would have been discovered by passersby long ago."

"Hmm, but are you sure this is the place?"

Yao Ling nodded, a solemn expression on his face: "I feel it's not that simple. They must be in some underground cave or something."

"Otherwise, even if there are restrictions, the people here would still find them if they patrolled."

"What you said is possible, but I need to test it out here first."

Ning Qi nodded again, and then circulated the demonic energy within his body.

"call!"

As he circulated his energy, demonic energy surged, causing waves of demonic flames to erupt around his body.

"Master, why is your demonic energy so strong?"

This was the first time Yao Ling had sensed Ning Qi's demonic energy.

It's unbelievable that it can be this strong.

If you didn't know who he was, you would really mistake him for a member of the demon race.

"This is the demonic energy I absorbed from the demons I just killed, plus the demonic energy I devoured in the Boundary Sea and among the twisted monsters."

"It's not surprising that there's this level of demonic energy."

Ning Qi smiled and explained, "In that case, I am now a true member of the demon race."

"Yes, if I didn't know the situation, I would have thought you were a demon."

Yao Ling nodded and said with a smile.

"Alright, let's set off then. I want to see what's going on here."

Ning Qi nodded, then stepped forward and came to the open space.

As soon as he appeared there, he felt as if he were being watched by something.

"Master, I have a feeling like I'm being targeted by a ferocious beast?"

Yao Ling shrank back, revealing a look of fear.

"Your feeling is right, there are ferocious beasts here, and more than one."

Ning Qi looked around and then focused his gaze on a small hill in front of him.

Several powerful auras emanated from here, constantly surging.

At the same time, that feeling of being watched also came from here.

"This is it."

The spirit also looked over and said with great certainty, "Master, be careful."

"It's alright, they're just a few beasts, no match for me!"

Ning Qi didn't care at all and said with a smile, "I'll go and meet them. Maybe I'll get some unexpected gains!"

"Okay! Then you need to be careful."

The spirit medicine did not stop them and directly merged into Ning Qi's body.

It was hidden in his dantian.

"call!"

Ning Qi took a deep breath, then suddenly vanished.

When he reappeared, he had arrived at the hillside he had just been observing.

Standing on the mountaintop, looking down.

Sure enough, there were several ferocious beasts there, plump and strong, baring their fangs.

There were also wisps of black energy surging throughout its body.

"Tsk tsk, it's a ferocious beast from the demon race. No wonder it's so strong."

Ning Qi clicked his tongue in amazement, then looked at the group of murderers: "Come on, let me see how formidable you are."

His gesture of beckoning with his finger enraged the ferocious beasts.

"Roar!"

"Awoo!"

They roared and charged at Ning Qifei.

The soil beneath their feet was trampled and sent flying everywhere, and the entire hill trembled as they ran wildly.

The demonic flames also burned, causing the air here to churn.

"Hmph, several ferocious beasts with the strength of True Immortals are indeed very strong."

"Any unlucky person who passes by is sure to die."

"Unfortunately, you've run into me."

Ning Qi snorted coldly and turned his attention to the leading ferocious beast.

"Shh!"

The next moment, he vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already riding on its back.

Ning Qi held the Chaos Sword in his hand, its surface crisscrossed with evil energy, and then fiercely stabbed it down into the neck of the ferocious beast.

"puff!"

The next moment, he pierced the beast's neck.

The ferocious beast, which had been so fierce, lay down on the ground and leaped dozens of feet before stopping.

When I went to check on it again, it was already dead.

The flowing hot blood dyed a corner of the small hill red.

"Roar!" As this ferocious beast was killed, the others behind it roared in grief and anger.

They charged forward desperately, determined to tear Ning Qi apart alive.

Those fangs, full of fur, were ready to pierce him.

"Hmph, you're asking for death!"

Ning Qi snorted coldly, and then suddenly made his move.

With a single swing of the Chaos Sword, the other ferocious beast in front of him was cleaved in two.

Large amounts of blood rained down as the massive body crashed to the ground.

The blood of the ferocious beast splattered everywhere, and the oppressive aura startled the surrounding birds and beasts, causing them to scatter and flee.

"Roar."

At the same time, the remaining ferocious beasts, fearless of death, charged towards Ning Qi.

It looked like they were about to swallow him whole.

"Go to hell!"

Ning Qi waved his hand, and the Chaos Sword was already in action.

The sword energy crisscrossed, distorting the surrounding void.

"Stop! Get out of the way!"

Just then, a shout came from not far away.

Upon hearing this sound, the ferocious beast immediately retreated.

It felt like we had encountered some dangerous person.

Ning Qi glanced over to the side.

He then saw a middle-aged man walking towards him.

He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a robust build.

However, demonic energy surged around him.

Clearly, he was also a member of the demon race.

After he arrived, the ferocious beasts that were originally fierce became docile.

It felt like encountering something terrifying.

"Young man, you are also a member of the demon race."

The middle-aged man stopped, looked Ning Qi up and down, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Ning Qi's answer was simple, and he looked at the middle-aged man as well: "What's going on here? What are you doing keeping them here?"

Anyone with eyes can see that these ferocious beasts are controlled by the middle-aged man.

“These are our watchdogs.”

The middle-aged man smiled and continued, "If any human or immortal passes by, they will be able to detect them immediately."

"Oh? I see. So the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple."

Ning Qi suddenly realized what was going on, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Senior, please don't take offense. I thought they were preparing to attack me."

"Young man, don't worry. Since you are a member of the demon race, they will not attack you on their own initiative."

"Just now, if you hadn't entered their attack range and provoked them, they wouldn't have attacked you."

The middle-aged man glanced back and then said, "They will only attack without hesitation when they encounter an enemy."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't even have had a chance to come over. They would have torn you to pieces the moment you came out of the mountains."

"However, unfortunately, you are too strong. Even if they attack, they are no match for you."

"I see."

Ning Qi looked enlightened and then said, "I apologize for my presumption, but I sensed demonic energy here just now."

"I thought I had run into some of my clansmen, so I came to check on the situation."

"If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me."

"Young man, you're too kind."

"We are all of the same kind. What does it matter if a few ferocious beasts die?"

“We’re back now, and we can produce dozens of them in no time.”

The middle-aged man, however, didn't seem to care and said cheerfully.

"Senior, you're here..."

Ning Qi, curious, couldn't help but ask.

"Here? To be honest..."

"I am stationed here."

After observing for a while, the middle-aged man noticed that Ning Qi was a member of the demon race.

Therefore, they did not shy away from his questions and responded directly.

"Oh? What are you doing stationed here in the middle of nowhere?"

Ning Qi feigned curiosity and continued to inquire about the situation.

"Master, you're amazing! You actually fooled him."

The spirit medicine secretly transmitted sound within his dantian.

"Hmph, I am now a member of the demon race, there is no deception involved."

“This is perfectly aboveboard; otherwise, he would have discovered it long ago.”

Ning Qi responded smugly.

“Young man, we are a community here.”

The middle-aged man lowered his voice and continued, "There are array formations here to prevent us from being discovered."

"After passing through here, you will enter an area with more restrictions and formations."

"Without our people leading the way, it would be impossible to get through."

"If we try to force our way in, we will definitely be discovered."

"Oh, no wonder I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out where the problem was."

Ning Qi nodded, a look of sudden realization on his face.

"Young man, where are you from?"

The middle-aged man then looked at Ning Qi with curiosity and asked.

“I come from the outside world.”

"I originally planned to kill a few people here, then refine a group of people and let them cause trouble here."

"But I came across this place right after coming down."

"And then I was drawn in."

Ning Qi didn't even think twice before lying.

"Oh, so you came from the Boundary Sea."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately understood: "Then, which region are you from?"

However, he still needed to find out more about the situation.

“From the depths of the boundary sea of ​​District 15.”

Ning Qi explained the location of his previous battle with Dao Bujin.

There are also demons there.

"Oh, so it's a wild and undeveloped area."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded again: "Now that you're here, do you want to find someone to rely on?"

"Join us, and it will be safer to act with us from now on!"

He had already set his sights on recruiting Ning Qi.

He was well aware of Ning Qi's strength; it was definitely no less than his own.

Having such a skilled player join them is a good thing for them.

"Great! I happen to have nowhere to go!"

Ning Qi became interested upon hearing this: "But will your clan leader accept me, an outsider?"

"Haha, of course you can, you're not an outsider!"

"We're all demons, there's no distinction between us. If you're willing, I can take you in right now!"

The middle-aged man laughed heartily, "As long as you get in, with your abilities, I'll definitely give you a high-ranking position."

"I don't ask for much, I just want to be able to act alongside my people!"

Ning Qi shook his head and said seriously, "My people have been wiped out by the Immortal Clan, so we have been wandering for a long time."

"It's fate that we met today!"

The middle-aged man believed him even more after hearing his words.

"Yes, senior, so how should we get in?"

Ning Qi snapped out of his daze and asked curiously.

His eyes looked ahead, but he couldn't discern anything amiss.

This place doesn't look like a hidden tribe at all, so there must be something extraordinary about it.

"That's easy, I'll take you in in a bit."

The middle-aged man readily agreed, "Wait a moment, I'll call my brothers over." (End of Chapter)
