"That's wonderful! The master has truly returned!"

"A hundred thousand years! We've finally waited for the master's return!"

"We can finally leave this cursed place!"

At the moment the Ice Phoenix nodded in response, the four demon beasts hopped around excitedly once again.

Seeing the excited four demon beasts, the Ice Phoenix asked in bewilderment, "Aren't you beasts of the secret realm?"

The four demon beasts simultaneously turned around, once again surrounding the Ice Phoenix at the center, their gigantic faces only a meter away from the Ice Phoenix.

There was no room left for the Ice Phoenix to move.

From afar, one might mistake the four demon beasts for holding a meeting.

The Fire Qilin answered, "We are demon beasts from the Cultivation Realm, a part of the Demon God Race from a hundred thousand years ago, I am the Clan Leader!"

The Eight-armed Demon Spider answered, "A hundred thousand years ago, the master wanted to subdue the Demon God Race. We beasts fought the master for three days and nights, then chased the master into the secret realm, and while we came in fine, we couldn't return afterward."

The Giant Ape answered, "Chasing the master deep into the secret realm, we realized we had fallen into a trap. The master had hidden their true strength and took us down in one fell swoop."

The Dragon Turtle answered, "After that, we submitted to the master. The master set a Divine Lock seal on us, instructing us to guard the sealing array, and we waited for a hundred thousand years!"

Seeing the four demon beasts earnestly answering, the Ice Phoenix restrained from laughing and asked, "So, you've been cultivating in the secret realm for a hundred thousand years?"

The four demon beasts nodded in unison.

The Ice Phoenix asked again, "Are you very familiar with the secret realm?"

The four demon beasts nodded in unison.

The Ice Phoenix asked again, "A hundred thousand years ago, when you entered the secret realm, did you have news of the ancient immortal artifact?"

The four demon beasts shook their heads in unison.

The Ice Phoenix was secretly disappointed and thought, "It seems the master was right. Perhaps tens of thousands of years ago, the ancient immortal artifacts were already claimed by others."

The Fire Qilin asked, "Little Phoenix, do you want an ancient immortal artifact?"

The Dragon Turtle asked, "Little Phoenix, what kind of ancient immortal artifact do you want?"

The Eight-armed Demon Spider asked, "Little Phoenix, do you want a heavier or lighter ancient immortal artifact?"

The Giant Ape asked, "Little Phoenix, do you want a bigger or smaller ancient immortal artifact?"

Upon hearing this.

The Ice Phoenix was dumbfounded, asking stupidly, "Didn't you say you didn't have any?"

The Fire Qilin answered, "A hundred thousand years ago, we indeed didn't have ancient immortal artifacts."

The Dragon Turtle answered, "A hundred thousand years ago, we had just entered the secret realm, how could there be ancient immortal artifacts?"

The Eight-armed Demon Spider answered, "A hundred thousand years ago, we only had half-grade immortal artifacts."

The Giant Ape answered, "Yes, exactly, you asked about a hundred thousand years ago, so we didn't have any."

Driven frantic by the answers, the Ice Phoenix asked again, "What about a hundred thousand years later?"

"None." The four demon beasts shook their heads in unison.

After saying so much, only to end up with nothing, the Ice Phoenix was nearly enraged to the point of spitting blood, wishing dearly to thrash the four demon beasts.

Unfortunately, the Ice Phoenix was not their match.

Even in a one-on-one fight, even with the Spirit Communication Jade, the Ice Phoenix wouldn't dare claim victory.

If only the Ice Phoenix knew how to wield the Divine Lock, she would definitely beat the four demon beasts until they scattered!

"Once I break through to the middle stage of half-immortal, I'll make you regret it!" the Ice Phoenix thought ferociously, and in an angry and frustrated state, she flashed to the side of the sealing array, ignoring the four demon beasts.

The Fire Qilin approached and asked, "Little Phoenix, talk to us about how the Demon God Race is doing."

The Giant Ape approached and asked, "Little Phoenix, how is the Cultivation Realm doing? Which force is currently the strongest?"

The Eight-armed Demon Spider approached and asked, "Little Phoenix, who is the current Clan Leader of the Demon God Race? And what is their cultivation level?"

The Dragon Turtle approached and asked, "Little Phoenix, how are our descendants doing? Please tell us quickly."

Once more, the four demon beasts surrounded the Ice Phoenix at the center.

With her eyes shut tight, the Ice Phoenix coldly said, "Keep your distance from me."

The four demon beasts exchanged glances, simultaneously asking, "Little Phoenix, are you angry?"

The muscles on the Ice Phoenix's face twitched, but she said nothing, treating them like air.

The Fire Qilin then said, "Little Phoenix, we know where the ancient immortal artifact is."

"Yes, yes, we know where the ancient immortal artifact is!" The Dragon Turtle and the three-headed demon beast nodded repeatedly.

Upon hearing this.

The Ice Phoenix opened her beautiful eyes and asked coldly, "Where is it?"

The Fire Qilin answered, "Not here."

"I'm asking where it is!" The Ice Phoenix shouted angrily, truly on the verge of explosion.

The Dragon Turtle urgently answered, "To the southwest, there's a mountain, and on the mountain, there's a palace that holds an ancient immortal sword."

The Giant Ape answered next, "There's a terrifyingly strong half-immortal within the palace. Back then, the four of us couldn't defeat him even together."

The Ice Phoenix rolled her eyes and then closed them again, truly infuriated by the four demon beasts.

Their words were as good as unsaid.

Even the four middle-stage half-immortal demon beasts couldn't defeat him; could the Ice Phoenix do it?

"Little Phoenix, open your eyes." The Fire Qilin continued, "That half-immortal has already died, leaving only a trace of spiritual power. It's been many thousand years since then; that spiritual power might have dissipated."

"Yes, that's right." The Giant Ape answered, "If we go now, we can definitely take him down. Even if we can't, we can flee, I'm a fast runner, and I guarantee that old thing won't catch up."

The Eight-armed Demon Spider replied with extreme confidence, "After all these thousands of years, even if that old thing's spiritual power hasn't run dry, it's definitely weakened by now. He surely isn't our match!"

The Dragon Turtle looked at the Ice Phoenix and asked, "Little Phoenix, do you want to go?"

Upon hearing this, hope was ignited in the Ice Phoenix's heart.

If things were as they said, then a bet might be worthwhile.

The Ice Phoenix opened her eyes and coldly said, "Lead the way."

Given that it's merely a manifestation of spiritual power and thousands of years have passed, even if the power hasn't entirely dissipated, it must have weakened significantly.

One unique beast and four demon beasts would undoubtedly wield immense power.

Even if they had to wear down that strong spirit, they'd eliminate it.

"It's not far to the southwest, and I'll lead the way," The Fire Qilin shot into the sky first.

"Let's go! Let's get revenge on that old thing!" The Giant Ape roared, leaping skyward forcefully.

The Eight-armed Demon Spider propelled upward with its eight legs, moving with terrifying speed despite its massive size.

The Dragon Turtle conjured a cloud, following leisurely from behind.

The Ice Phoenix looked at the four demon beasts, coldly stating, "If you dare deceive me, once the master comes out, I'll make you pay."

The Fire Qilin answered, "The palace truly holds an ancient immortal sword, we're absolutely not lying, and if we are, may I be struck by heaven's lightning five times!"

The Giant Ape answered, "May I be struck by heaven's lightning!"

The Eight-armed Demon Spider answered, "May I face heavenly punishment."

The Dragon Turtle, catching up, answered, "May I be cursed with no offspring."
