Ye Feng fell into a moment of silence; the other party clearly did not regard him highly. The reason was simple: the seal of the Ancient Demon Lord was extremely powerful, far beyond what a small cultivator at the Qi Refinement stage like him could reinforce.
Unlike the somewhat naive Blood Demon Wolf, the Nine-Headed Blood Python was deeply scheming and had weighed the situation in its mind. If it believed that Ye Feng could not contribute anything to the ancient seal, then it was likely true.
In this case, Ye Feng's only trump card for survival was rendered useless. He had originally hoped to persuade the other party using the matter of the ancient seal, but now it seemed that things would not go as he wished.
"Senior, how do you plan to deal with me?" Ye Feng paused for a moment before suddenly asking.
"You have some interesting skills, kid; you even understand a bit of celestial magic. It's just a pity your cultivation is too shallow. The ancient seal is not something you can reinforce. Although you have some connections with my fourth brother, Old Man will not let you off easily. My secrets must never be revealed!" The Blood Robed Elder's face twisted again, and his gaze towards Ye Feng was filled with murderous intent.
"I will not reveal your existence to anyone!" Ye Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Although I am lacking, I am still one of the few who can comprehend the Wordless Heavenly Book. The seal has already loosened, and the Ancient Demon Lord may break free at any moment. At that time, your fate may not be much better than mine. If you are unwilling to give me a chance to try, feel free to kill or torture me as you wish!"
Ye Feng stubbornly raised his head, his gaze steady and his expression proud, as if he had placed life and death aside!
"Kid, are you really not afraid of death?" The Blood Robed Elder sneered coldly.
"What is there to fear in death? We both have our fates sealed. To die at the hands of a master like you would be a stroke of luck for me. However, as for how you will die in the future..." Ye Feng replied calmly.
"Bold!" The Blood Robed Elder shouted angrily. With a flick of his hand, an invisible force struck Ye Feng once more.
A dull thud echoed in his chest; even with a resilient body, Ye Feng could not withstand a direct hit from the Nine-Headed Blood Python. Two or three ribs broke instantly, and his body was slammed against the rock wall as he spat out a mouthful of blood, nearly losing consciousness.
"Hahaha, it's a pity I won't see the day when you become cannon fodder for the demon lord!" Ye Feng endured the excruciating pain and shouted loudly.
"Brat!" The Blood Robed Elder's face turned ashen; his fingers curled into claws as he grasped at the air, conjuring a mass of pitch-black energy out of nowhere. Clearly enraged, he intended to directly obliterate Ye Feng.
"Stop!"
"Boss, show some mercy!"
At that moment, two figures rushed in. A White-Clad Woman pointed her fingers like flowers, forming several ice seals, and in an instant, shot out three ice spikes about ten feet long.
Another figure, a Blood-Robed Man resembling the Nine-Headed Blood Python, exhaled a plume of black mist, enveloping Ye Feng within it.
The ice spikes shot toward the elder's face, but the Blood Robed Elder remained unafraid. With a wave of his left hand, Demonic Energy surged around him, transforming into a relentless wall of mist in front of him.
As soon as the ice spikes touched the Demonic Energy mist, they immediately halted their momentum and were entangled by the black mist surging from the wall, quickly changing direction and shooting toward the White-Clad Woman.
"Scatter!" the woman shouted coldly. With a flick of her jade hand, the ice spikes dissipated into countless ice flowers that scattered across the ground.
"Ice Phoenix Clan? Fourth Brother, how dare you associate with the beast clan?" The Blood Robed Elder glared angrily at the Blood-Robed Man beside Ye Feng.
The ones who timely rescued Ye Feng were none other than the Blood Demon Wolf and Ice Phoenix Xiaobing. After leaving Cheng Xiaofeng and others behind, they had searched aimlessly for half a day in the western jungle of Qiu Yang Secret Realm before finally discovering a hidden entrance to enter the Nine-Headed Blood Python's Spirit Qi Cave.
The last time Blood Demon Wolf visited the Nine-Headed Blood Python's spiritual cave was fifty years ago, so he momentarily forgot about the entrance, which delayed them for so long.
Just as Blood Demon Wolf was about to explain, Xiaobing stepped forward angrily, her entire body radiating cold air and her face resembling frost.
"You old man, what are you so arrogant about? I'm not afraid of you at all! How dare you beat up Ye Feng like this? Do you believe I will make you pay for it?"
As they say, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Although Xiaobing belonged to the beast clan, her cultivation was too shallow. Even if she revealed her true ice form, she was still no match for the Nine-Headed Blood Python.
"If you grow into a Sixth-Order Divine Beast, the Old Man would truly not be your opponent. Right now, even with your divine beast bloodline, it would only take a little effort for the Old Man to take your life!"
As the old man and the young girl were about to clash, the Blood Demon Wolf quickly stepped between them, repeatedly bowing in apology.
"Boss, you are magnanimous, so please don't lower yourself to argue with a little girl. What is going on here? Shouldn't Ye Feng be cultivating in my Spirit Qi Cave? How did he suddenly appear in your cave? Boss, this person absolutely cannot be killed; the seal of the Ancient Demon Lord relies on him to reinforce and repair it!"
Fearing that the Nine-Headed Blood Python would go on a rampage, the Blood Demon Wolf hurriedly conveyed his intentions and highlighted Ye Feng's importance.
"I already knew this kid's intentions," the Old Man replied. "Do you really think repairing an ancient seal is that easy? With this kid's strength, he can hardly even approach the seal, let alone repair or reinforce it!"
The Blood Robed Elder shot a fierce glare at the Blood Demon Wolf. Although they had no blood relation, they were both part of the Beast Clan and had served Xuan Yue Celestial Master for nearly two hundred years. Their demonic nature had faded significantly, and they had formed a brotherly bond like humans.
Even though their relationship had soured due to Third Brother's incident, their past feelings had not completely vanished. Under the Blood Demon Wolf's obstruction, the Nine-Headed Blood Python truly could not bring himself to strike.
"Boss, how do you know this kid can't reinforce the seal?" The Blood Demon Wolf's expression stiffened as he spoke somewhat displeased.
"That's obvious. The master's task was to guard the seal. You and Third Brother are too weak; it was always me and Second Brother who helped out. The horrors of Seal Canyon are beyond your imagination. After our master passed away, Second Brother and I did attempt to go to Seal Canyon to reinforce the Ancient Demon Lord's seal, but we ultimately failed every time. Not only are the Demon Spirits inside Seal Canyon beyond our reach, but even the restrictions outside the canyon are something we cannot approach!" The Blood Robed Elder said coldly.
"Seal Canyon?" The Blood Demon Wolf became increasingly confused. "What is this Seal Canyon? Is that Ancient Demon Lord sealed within the canyon? And what are these Demon Spirits? Why can't you and Second Brother pass through the restrictions?"
The Blood Demon Wolf asked several questions in succession. At that moment, Ye Feng, who had been receiving treatment from Xiao Bing for his injuries, finally began to wake up and happened to hear this exchange.
"You are magical beasts with Mystical Demon Power; naturally, you cannot pass through the restrictions outside the canyon. However, I might still give it a try," Ye Feng said softly.
"Ye Feng, why do you care about that ancient seal? When that demon lord comes out, we can just capture them as slaves and run as far away as possible! I don't believe that demon lord would chase us thousands of miles!" Xiao Bing glared fiercely at Ye Feng and scolded in a delicate voice.
"Xiao Bing, stop messing around. If the Ancient Demon Lord emerges, it will surely bring disaster to the world. Since this demon can enter our realm through the cracks in the continent's seal, it will undoubtedly return to gather more forces. By then, the entire Divine Martial Continent may fall into the hands of the demon race, and we will have nowhere to escape."
"If that's the case, it really is troublesome. Although our Beast Clan does not belong to the Divine Martial Continent, I don't remember how I ended up here. Otherwise, I could take you back to our Beast Clan's continent!"
Xiao Bing muttered with a grim expression, while Ye Feng did not take it too seriously. Although he wanted to know why Xiao Bing appeared alongside Tianyi Daoist in the Qiu Yang Secret Realm and seemed to obey him, this was clearly not something that needed to be considered right now.
"You are right. The one sealed by your Qi Refining Practitioners in the Qiu Yang Secret Realm is indeed a demon lord from the demon realm who has jurisdiction over three major demon states and is one of the eighteen Shura Demon Kings. This demon's strength is beyond your imagination; only the top experts among your human Divine Martial Realm might be able to handle it together. However, this Shura Demon King was overly arrogant last time and tried to conquer the entire Divine Martial Continent by himself, only to be defeated by your kind. This time, he will certainly return through the seal cracks to gain support from other Shura Demon Kings and invade the Divine Martial Continent again. By then, your Divine Martial Continent will likely be completely occupied by the demon race!" the Nine-Headed Blood Python said solemnly.
The Nine-Headed Blood Python's words were not alarmist; Ye Feng understood the seriousness of letting the Ancient Demon Lord break free from its seal. He looked firmly at the Blood Robed Elder and said, "I believe you definitely do not want to fall into this Shura Demon King's hands either. Now that the ancient seal is about to break, please give me a chance to try. Regardless of whether I succeed or not, it won't bring any harm to you!"
Ye Feng had already made up his mind to go to Seal Canyon and give it a try; even if he couldn't succeed, he could think of other methods later.
The Nine-Headed Blood Python stared at Ye Feng for a while before sighing lightly, "Kid, for Third Brother's sake, I'll let you off this time. Take these young humans and leave this place quickly; make plans early. Perhaps you can live a little longer. It's not that I don't trust you; currently, Seal Canyon is extremely dangerous with Demon Spirits rampaging everywhere. Even if you have the ability to repair seals, it would be difficult for you to approach the core of the seal!"
"Demon Spirit? Is that a type of magical beast?" The Nine-Headed Blood Python had mentioned this name more than once, and Ye Feng was quite surprised. "Since there are restrictions from celestial techniques around the seal, why would there be Demon Spirits invading Seal Canyon?"
The Nine-Headed Blood Python shook its head. "Demon Spirits are not magical beasts but spiritual entities formed from Demonic Energy leaked by sealed mountain demons after thousands of years of transformation. Ink Spirits themselves lack intelligence; they only know how to kill and possess strength comparable to mid-level warriors in your human Origin Martial Realm. However, Demon Spirits are formless and intangible; martial skills cannot harm them directly, and they can attack your Divine Soul directly, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Although your celestial techniques are very effective against Demon Spirits, your cultivation level is low, and there are tens of thousands of Demon Spirits sealed within—far beyond what you can handle!"
