"Ha ha ha ha…"
"All those years of plotting were not in vain. In the end, I've obtained it."
The Black Fiend Old Demon's face was filled with smiles, and that smile—along with his laughter—overflowed with triumph.
This made Chu Feng realize that the Black Fiend Old Demon's earlier kindness had indeed been an act. This old fellow was never the benevolent sort.
"My lord, Lord Yunliang instructed us to relay a message to you."
"You must not let down the Asura Spirit Army."
"So, my lord, what exactly is inside?"
"Why were the Asura evil spirits of the Asura Burial Ground so intent on guarding it?"
Chu Feng fired off questions one after another.
He wanted to learn more about that box.
"Chu Feng, you sure have a lot you want to know."
"But unfortunately, people of the Sacred Light race have no right to know that much."
The Black Fiend Old Demon turned his gaze toward Chu Feng once more, and his smile had taken on a menacing edge.
The Black Fiend Old Demon's sudden shift in demeanor left even Gongsun Yuntian at a loss. Just moments ago, the old demon had been so favorable toward Chu Feng, even defending him multiple times. How had things changed so abruptly?
But compared to Gongsun Yuntian, Chu Feng was not particularly surprised by this turn of events.
"Black Fiend Old Demon—now that you've finished using me, you're finally showing your true colors?" Chu Feng asked with a cold laugh.
"Judging by those words, you already know how I intend to deal with you?"
The Black Fiend Old Demon was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected Chu Feng to remain so composed.
"Well, how should I put it? I'd long prepared for the worst possibility, but I never truly expected the worst outcome to come."
"Looks like today is the day I die," Chu Feng said.
"You're right—you won't be leaving alive. A little brat like you living on is no good thing for our Nine Soul Heavenly River."
"As a member of the Nine Soul Heavenly River, I have the duty to eliminate threats on its behalf."
The Black Fiend Old Demon did not bother hiding his intentions. He stated his reason for wanting to kill Chu Feng outright.
"Since I'm a dead man anyway, why not grant me one last wish?"
"Can you tell me what exactly is inside that box?" Chu Feng asked.
"I told you—people of the Sacred Light race have no right to know that much."
The moment the Black Fiend Old Demon finished speaking, his terrifying pressure engulfed the entire great hall in an instant.
Now, with a mere thought, he could scatter Chu Feng's soul to nothing.
Seeing this, Chu Feng asked no further questions. Instead, he raised his middle finger at the Black Fiend Old Demon.
"Black Fiend Old Demon, you're the real waste here. You didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Asura Burial Ground—you had to beg this young master to do the job for you."
"Remember, without me, you wouldn't amount to even a fart."
"Do you dare enter the Asura Burial Ground openly? Of course you don't—not only are you a waste, you're also a coward."
"Screw the Black Fiend Old Demon—I spit on you! I think you should be called the Black Fiend Old Waste."
"You look down on my Ancestral Martial Heavenly River? Someone like you… is even worthy?"
Since things had already been torn apart, Chu Feng held nothing back and unleashed a torrent of curses at the Black Fiend Old Demon.
The moment these words left Chu Feng's mouth, Gongsun Yuntian was so shocked his jaw dropped wide open.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone from the younger generation dare to berate the Black Fiend Old Demon like this.
The sheer audacity was absolutely staggering!!!
"Insolent brat—perhaps someday, you could have amounted to something great."
