Chapter 197: The Mysterious Myriad Demon Hall!
【“The Myriad Demon Hall?”】
【You asked the Black King about the situation of the Myriad Demon Hall.】
【After a moment of silence, the Black King told you that the situation of the Myriad Demon Hall was rather special.】
【The Black King told you that the Myriad Demon Hall had existed for a very long time, yet they almost never concerned themselves with anything happening in the outside world.】
【The Black King told you that, in theory, the Myriad Demon Hall was actually the Demon Race force that had existed the longest and possessed the greatest strength in the entire Canglan Realm.】
【The Black King told you that because the Myriad Demon Hall kept itself apart from worldly affairs, almost nothing that happened would ever involve them.】
【“Then what about this Secret Realm?”】
【You asked the Black King whether, since the Myriad Demon Hall did not concern itself with worldly affairs, that Secret Realm could be used freely.】
【After hearing this, the Black King shook his head helplessly.】
【The Black King told you that although the demon beasts of the Myriad Demon Hall did not concern themselves with outside matters, they still cared greatly about cultivation.】
【You asked the Black King whether he knew the specific circumstances of the Myriad Demon Hall.】
【The Black King shook his head.】
【“I do not know. No one knows what the Myriad Demon Hall is truly like.”】
【Hearing this, you frowned slightly.】
【You told the Black King that, since things had already come to this point, you should go there first and see.】
【“We are going to the Myriad Demon Hall right now? Aren’t you going to check the situation of the Secret Realm in the Northern Abyss Palace first?”】
【“No need!”】
【You knew your own situation very clearly. The moment you entered the Secret Realm of the Northern Abyss Palace, that Secret Realm would also be completely lost.】
【You told the Black King that when the time came, he only needed to help you go in and check the situation.】
【A few days later!】
【The Black King brought you to the eastern part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.】
【You discovered that the eastern part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains was a dense primeval forest.】
【“It is here?”】
【The Black King pointed at the dense forest below.】
【“I only know that the Secret Realm is here. No one knows the exact location of the Myriad Demon Hall.”】
【The Black King told you that the reason they said the Myriad Demon Hall was here was because when they first discovered this Secret Realm, they had been warned by people claiming to be from the Myriad Demon Hall.】
【The Black King told you that from that day onward, rumors began spreading through Huangzhou that the Myriad Demon Hall was located here.】
【After hearing the Black King say this, you became more and more interested in the Myriad Demon Hall.】
【You found that this Myriad Demon Hall was very much like the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion among your Human Race.】
【“So... what you mean is that before this Secret Realm was discovered, none of you even knew the Myriad Demon Hall existed?”】
【The Black King nodded, then shook his head.】
【The Black King told you that the Myriad Demon Hall had always existed in the Canglan Realm, but very few people had ever seen them.】
【The Black King told you that it was only because so few had seen the Myriad Demon Hall before then that many members of the Demon Race did not acknowledge its existence, at least not until this Secret Realm was discovered.】
【Hearing that, you lowered your gaze toward the dense forest below.】
【“Let’s go. Let’s have a look at this Myriad Demon Hall!”】
【After hearing this, although the Black King still felt somewhat nervous, seeing your calm expression made him relax quite a bit.】
【Very soon, you found the entrance to the Secret Realm within the dense forest.】
【The Black King told you that this Secret Realm was called the Myriad Demon Secret Realm.】
【The Black King told you that it had been given this name because when it was first discovered, the people from the Myriad Demon Hall had referred to it by that name.】
【“The Myriad Demon Secret Realm...”】
【With that, you told the Black King to enter the Secret Realm and inspect the situation.】
【“What? M-Me? I’m going in?”】
【When the Black King heard that you wanted him to enter the Myriad Demon Secret Realm alone, he froze on the spot and stared at you blankly.】
【The Black King could not understand why you were not going in yourself and were instead sending him in alone.】
【“You are a member of the Demon Race. The people of the Myriad Demon Hall should not be too hostile toward you. Even in the worst-case scenario, if you run into danger, you can just come right back out. With me waiting outside, what are you afraid of?”】
【For the time being, you did not want to tell the Black King that you could contaminate Secret Realms, so you could only find some random excuse to brush him off.】
【After hearing your explanation, the Black King rolled his eyes.】
【Even a fool could tell that this was just some excuse you had made up on the spot.】
【However, the Black King had no right to choose now. Since you had said that he could simply come back out if he encountered danger, he accepted it readily enough.】
【“Fine!”】
【Then, the Black King turned around and entered the Secret Realm.】
【You watched the Black King’s disappearing figure and silently waited outside the Secret Realm for his return.】
【Time passed second by second.】
【A quarter of an hour later, the Black King came running out of the Secret Realm with terror written across his face.】
【“Save me! Save me!”】
【After leaving the Secret Realm, the Black King quickly hid behind you.】
【You looked at the Black King, whose body was trembling without stop, and asked him what exactly had happened.】
【The Black King raised a shaking hand and pointed toward the Myriad Demon Secret Realm before you.】
【Very soon, a middle-aged man walked out of the Secret Realm. His features were exceptionally handsome.】
【“Mahayana Realm Great Perfection?”】
【You had not expected that a random demon beast coming out of the Myriad Demon Secret Realm would already possess Mahayana Realm Great Perfection cultivation.】
【At that moment, you became certain that there were absolutely demon beasts above the Tribulation Stage within the Myriad Demon Hall.】
【“A human?”】
【When the handsome man saw you, he frowned slightly. He had not expected to run into a human here.】
【But very quickly, the handsome man’s attention shifted back to the Black King.】
【“Didn’t I already say that you were not allowed to covet the Myriad Demon Secret Realm? Or did you take the words of the Myriad Demon Hall for nothing but wind?”】
【After hearing this, the Black King cast you a pleading look for help.】
【The handsome man took all of this in, then turned his gaze toward you.】
【“I never expected that a dignified Demon King would actually listen to the words of a human.”】
【“You are the one who told him to come to the Myriad Demon Secret Realm, aren’t you?”】
【You told the man that the Secret Realms of the Canglan Realm belonged to everyone, and that for the sake of resisting the Bizarre Insect Clan, you were searching throughout the Canglan Realm for every Secret Realm that could still be used.】
【After hearing this, a disdainful expression appeared at the corner of the handsome man’s mouth.】
【“I do not care what your Human Race is trying to do. You may use all the other Secret Realms in the Canglan Realm if you like, but the Myriad Demon Secret Realm is the one place you may not use!”】
【“And besides... your Human Race’s appetite is not small. You have already stretched your hand all the way into the Demon Race’s territory!”】
【You told the man that many Secret Realms in the Canglan Realm had already been polluted by the Progenitor of the Bizarre Insects and were simply unusable.】
【“Polluted?”】
【After hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed through the man’s eyes.】
【“I do not care. Use any other Secret Realm you like, but the Myriad Demon Secret Realm is the one place you may not use!”】
【You spread your hands and replied helplessly,】
【“So there is no room for negotiation, then?”】
【“None at all!”】
【With that, you put away the smile on your face and drew the Taixu Immortal Sword.】
【“I never planned to come here and talk things out nicely in the first place. Since that is the case, then we’ll just take it by force!”】
【“You are courting death!”】
【A killing intent flashed through the man’s eyes as he instantly charged at you.】
