Chapter 961: Chapter 951: Abyss of Infinity
"That battle back then?"
"You guessed the outcome?"
The Celestial Fox and Shadow Fox were at a complete loss again.
Could it be that Gu Chenfeng also knows about the war between the Five Ancient Divine Beasts hundreds of thousands of years ago?
Gu Chenfeng slowly rose to his feet and chuckled. "We should get going too."
As his voice fell.
Gu Chenfeng waved his hand, the lid of the Pill Furnace opened, and yet another fourth-grade Elixir was successfully refined.
Just as Gu Chenfeng and the others were about to set out for the Demon Realm.
"Whoosh!"
Flame Shadow suddenly flashed into view.
"Young Master Flame Shadow!" The Celestial Fox and Shadow Fox bowed respectfully.
"The Heaven-Devouring Fox Race?" Flame Shadow was utterly stunned, then asked, "Why have you come to the Immortal Realm? Did something happen in the clan?"
Gu Chenfeng asked, "Your injuries aren’t healed yet. What are you doing here?"
"Naturally, I bring good news." Flame Shadow hurriedly laughed. "We’ve already tracked down information on the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Stone. If luck is on our side, I’ll get it for you right away."
"You found news that fast?" Gu Chenfeng was quite surprised.
"Of course." Flame Shadow grinned smugly. "But we haven’t pinpointed the exact location yet, so I have to make a trip. I came just to inform you."
"Go, retrieve it as quickly as you can, and be extra careful." Gu Chenfeng nodded. "You’ve come at the perfect time—send us to the Demon Realm first."
"No problem." Flame Shadow showed no concern at all as he laughed. "Hopefully this trip will go smoothly and I’ll obtain it. If not, I’ll come back and ask Young Master Feng to take a trip himself."
As they spoke.
Flame Shadow had already taken out the Eight Trigrams Disc and immediately sent Gu Chenfeng and the other two to the Demon Realm.
Gu Chenfeng’s group of three arrived in the Demon Realm and headed straight for the Ghost Rat Race.
Although they now knew the mysterious man was from the Ancient Taotie Race, they still didn’t know where the Ancient Taotie Race’s territory lay.
Just as the three stepped into the mountain range that was the territory of the Ghost Rat Race.
Members of the Ghost Rat Race appeared one after another, bowing respectfully. "We respectfully welcome Young Master Feng!"
Looking at the many respectful Ghost Rats, Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly and asked, "How is it? Nothing’s happened to the Ghost Rat Race recently, has it?"
One clansman said happily with a smile, "Young Master Feng may not know—just a few days ago the Ice Phoenix subdued the Nine Nether Green Python Race and the Frenzied Leopard Race. Once the news spread and others learned that our race has a powerful Ice Phoenix backing us, the other races no longer dare provoke us. Our clan is doing very well now."
"She subdued the Nine Nether Green Python Race and the Frenzied Leopard Race?" The Celestial Fox and Shadow Fox were both shocked.
So before the Ice Phoenix went to the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race, she had already taken these two terrifyingly powerful races under her wing.
"As long as you’re fine." Gu Chenfeng nodded with a smile. "Please trouble you to take me to see the Ghost Rat Clan Leader."
"Young Master Feng, please follow me." A clansman said respectfully, leading Gu Chenfeng’s group of three toward the Ghost Rat territory.
The news that Gu Chenfeng had come to the Ghost Rat Race quickly spread throughout the clan.
The Ghost Rat Clan Leader and the Elders all came out personally to welcome him.
The Four Great Demon Ancestors also emerged from their Cultivation at once.
Before long.
The three arrived at the palace within the Ghost Rat territory.
"Respectfully welcome Young Master Feng!"
"Greetings, Master!"
The Ghost Rat Clan Leader, the other clansmen, and the Four Great Demon Ancestors all bowed respectfully.
Gu Chenfeng smiled politely. "Clan Leader of the Ghost Rat Race, Elders, there’s no need to stand on ceremony."
"We greet the Ghost Rat Clan Leader and all Elders." The Celestial Fox and Shadow Fox also bowed respectfully, inwardly shocked as well—the four Demon Beasts with Ancient Bloodlines whose names shook the entire Demon Realm actually all had Gu Chenfeng as their master.
"So you’re from the Heaven-Devouring Fox Race." The Ghost Rat Clan Leader said happily with a smile. "Welcome to the Ghost Rat Race."
Gu Chenfeng got straight to the point and asked, "Clan Leader of the Ghost Rat Race, do you know of the Ancient Taotie Race?"
"The Ancient Taotie Race?" The Ghost Rat Clan Leader’s expression didn’t change in the slightest as he said lightly with a smile, "Although I don’t know much about that race, I do know a little."
Gu Chenfeng cupped his fists at once. "I ask the Clan Leader of the Ghost Rat Race to enlighten me."
The Ghost Rat Clan Leader slowly began, "Young Master Feng, the Ancient Taotie Race is an extremely bizarre and mysterious race. They are even stronger than the Flood Dragon Race and have already been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years."
"What? They’ve been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years?" The Celestial Fox and Shadow Fox couldn’t help but exclaim.
Gu Chenfeng nodded slightly. "Having been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, it’s only natural that they’re stronger than the Flood Dragon Race."
In Gu Chenfeng’s view, the strength of the Ancient Taotie Race was already no weaker than that of any Ancient Divine Beast Race, since they too possessed a Divine Beast Bloodline.
The Ghost Rat Clan Leader continued, "The Ancient Taotie Race relies on devouring the flesh and blood of Demon Beasts to enhance their Cultivation, and they can also devour various Demon Beasts’ bloodlines to strengthen their own."
"Their methods are extremely cruel. Back then they could be said to have dominated the Demon Realm, making all races in the Demon Realm fear them."
"Devour the flesh and blood of Demon Beasts?" The faces of the Celestial Fox and Shadow Fox changed drastically again. Their bodies trembled slightly, their expressions full of terror.
Gu Chenfeng asked again, "Clan Leader of the Ghost Rat Race, do you know where the Ancient Taotie Race’s territory is?"
The Ghost Rat Clan Leader shook his head. "The Ancient Taotie Race is extremely mysterious. None of the races in the Demon Realm know where their territory lies. In fact, aside from our Ghost Rat Race, almost no one in the Demon Realm even knows this race exists."
At the side, the Great Elder of the Ghost Rat Race frowned and asked gravely, "Young Master Feng, are you planning to deal with the Ancient Taotie Race?"
The Ghost Rat Clan Leader glanced at Gu Chenfeng and said with a faint smile, "Since Young Master Feng knows of the Ancient Taotie Race’s existence, I presume you’ve already crossed paths with them."
"A powerhouse of the Ancient Taotie Race wants to devour the Ice Phoenix’s bloodline, so I intend to wipe this race out." Gu Chenfeng said it casually, as if exterminating the Ancient Taotie Race was a trivial matter.
The Ghost Rat Clan Leader pondered for a moment, then said, "Young Master Feng, our Ghost Rat Race has only heard a few rumors about the Ancient Taotie Race. It’s said that their numbers are extremely few, but each individual possesses tremendous power."
"Their movements are elusive, and they rarely show themselves in the Demon Realm. Any Demon Beast that has ever seen them has been eaten by them."
Gu Chenfeng nodded and asked again, "Does the Clan Leader of the Ghost Rat Race know their approximate location?"
"We do know the general area." The Ghost Rat Clan Leader replied with a faint smile. "The Ancient Taotie Race hides within an Independent Space. Once one reaches the Demon Emperor Realm, one can open and close space within the Demon Realm."
"But as for where exactly that Independent Space of the Ancient Taotie Race is, our clan cannot determine it. We once tracked them, but the scent suddenly vanished into thin air in the end. I imagine that place is where the Independent Space lies."
Gu Chenfeng smiled with confidence. "The Clan Leader of the Ghost Rat Race only needs to tell me the approximate location. As long as I know roughly where it is, I’ll be able to find them."
The Ghost Rat Clan Leader said with a faint smile, "From what our clan knows, the Ancient Taotie Race may be in the Abyss of Infinity in the Demon Realm. The environment there is harsh, so very few Demon Beasts ever venture into it, but it’s the most suitable place for the Ancient Taotie Race. Still, we can’t be sure they’re really there."
Gu Chenfeng cupped his fists in thanks. "Many thanks to the Clan Leader of the Ghost Rat Race for the information. We’ll take our leave now."
