"Xing Batian?" Gao Fei was startled, "That name is so unique... I remember the Demon Emperor is Xing Mietian, and your elder brother is called Xing Batian, just one character difference. What's their relationship?"

"Yeah, Xing Batian, Xing Mietian, the names are quite similar..." He Hentian nodded, "Sounds like they are real brothers."

"Xing Mietian has become the Demon Emperor?" The bear man was very surprised, "Are you sure you're not joking?"

"Darn!" He Hentian curled his lips, "Who has the time to joke with you! If you don't believe it, you can go out and ask around. Xing Mietian has been the Demon Emperor for a long time."

"Who would've thought," the bear man shook his head incessantly, "in the end, it's Xing Mietian who became the Demon Emperor. I can't believe it, really can't believe it. Second brother, could you have imagined this?"

The lizard man shook his head, "I can't imagine it either! It's so surprising! Our eldest brother is particularly fertile, having fathered hundreds of sons, each one competent. In my memory... Xing Mietian was quite ordinary, ranking last among all the princes, nothing special at all, and the eldest brother didn't like him very much... I'm really curious, how did Xing Mietian become the Demon Emperor? Do all the other princes accept it?"

"Hey, can you stop whispering?" He Hentian shouted, "Speak up, let us all hear it."

"Umm... there is something you might not know." The bear man said hesitantly, "My older brother was once the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race."

"Er? The Demon Emperor?" He Hentian's eyes widened, "That huge gorilla was the Demon Emperor?"

The bear man and lizard man nodded together, "Yes."

"What's the relationship between the current Demon Emperor Xing Mietian and that big gorilla?" He Hentian quickly inquired.

"They are father and son," the bear man answered.

"Father and son? Dammit! Did I hear that right?" He Hentian exclaimed, "They are really father and son?"

"Yes," the bear man confirmed with a nod, "If I remember correctly, Xing Mietian is the youngest son of my eldest brother, who is very powerful and has fathered hundreds of sons, each one with his own ability. Compared to the others, Xing Mietian was just mediocre, at the bottom among all the princes. I really can't figure out how he became the Demon Emperor. Do all the other princes really accept this? There must be something fishy going on!"

"Right, there must be something fishy," the lizard man nodded, "It's a pity we can't get out, otherwise we would definitely clear this up." At this point, the lizard paused, "If the eldest brother knew about this, I wonder what he would feel. Probably very surprised as well."

"It's really unexpected," He Hentian grinned showing his Snaggletooth teeth, "That ugly gorilla is actually Xing Mietian's dad! It's...just unbelievable."

"One is called Xing Batian, the other Xing Mietian, just from the names you can tell there is a connection," Gao Fei said, "I just didn't expect them to be father and son."

"Alright, cut the crap," Duanmu Hong waved his hand, "Old Lizard, Old Bear, I'm asking you, is there a Defying Heavenly Level Spiritual Medicine here?"

"Spiritual Medicine? What Spiritual Medicine?" The lizard man looked puzzled, "I have lived here for ten thousand years and have never seen a Spiritual Medicine. Old Bear, have you ever seen one?"

"No," the bear man shook his head, "Never seen it."

"Never seen it?" Duanmu Hong furrowed his brows.

"Elder, can't you sense the aura of the Spiritual Medicine? Just follow the aura to search for it," Gao Fei suggested.

Duanmu shook his head, "I can't sense it anymore."

"Ah?"

"Just not long ago, I suddenly couldn't sense the presence of the Spiritual Medicine anymore."

"You couldn't sense it? What happened?"

"If I'm not mistaken, it must have been those bald monks who played tricks on us. They used the Spiritual Medicine as bait to lure us into the valley, then took the medicine away and sealed the entrance," Duanmu Hong said with a gloomy face. "We've been played by those bald monks."

"Damn it! That's so despicable! So shameless!!!" Gao Fei cursed loudly. "Those bald monks really made a good calculation, luring us into the valley and then releasing Great Demons to fight us, using the demons to eliminate us. That's ruthless, poisonous, and utterly shameless!"

"Too bad they never expected that we would actually subdue all the Great Demons." He Hentian sneered. "Since the Spiritual Medicine is no longer here, there's no need for us to stay. Let's quickly break the Formation at the entrance and go find those bald monks to settle the score."

Just as Duanmu Hong and the others were planning to leave, the old bear suddenly remembered something...

"Oh, right." The old bear slapped his forehead. "There's something that might interest you."

"What is it?" Gao Fei stopped and asked.

"Deep in the valley, there's a bottomless pit. Well, it's not really bottomless, just very deep. Every once in a while, there would be flashes of light from within. I suspected there could be treasures down there, so I deliberately went down to check. Who knew that at the bottom of the cave, there was a huge Formation, not only strong in Defensive capabilities but also capable of attacking. If I hadn't run fast, I would probably have been killed by the Formation." Up to now, the bear man still had lingering fears.

"Oh? There's such a place?" Duanmu Hong's interest was piqued. "Lead the way, I want to see it for myself."

"Alright, got it." The old bear turned and walked towards the depths of the valley.

Duanmu Hong and the others followed behind.

At that moment, Snaggletooth returned with a group of the Demon Race, "Kneel, all of you, and call out 'Master'!" Snaggletooth was the first to kneel on the ground and said loudly, "Master, the task you gave me is completed. These members of the Demon Race are willing to serve you as their lord. These are the souls they offer to you." Snaggletooth handed a bunch of light shadows to Duanmu Hong.

After a brief inspection, Duanmu Hong put away the light shadows. "Rest assured, as long as you obediently follow orders, I won't make things difficult for you. If you perform well, I will reward you handsomely. Now, rise." After using forceful measures, it's time to show some gentleness. Combining hardness with softness was the most effective method.

"Thank you, Master." Snaggletooth led the group of Demon Race as they stood up.

"Can all of you transform into human forms? Or shrink your bodies? I'm not used to looking up when talking to you," Duanmu Hong said.

"Swish swish swish…"

Hundreds of Demon Race transformed into human forms, mostly men, with a few women. They all had one thing in common—they were very ugly! Notably, Snaggletooth directly transformed into a big man, robust and muscular, with his face covered in black hair, making him look very fierce.

"Hmm, not bad," Duanmu Hong nodded with a smile. "Let's go treasure hunting." Duanmu Hong led the group of ugly demons towards the depths of the valley.

By this time, Snaggletooth had already learned the whole story from the old bear. He quickly walked up to Duanmu Hong and whispered, "I've also been into the bottomless pit before. It's very strange inside, especially the Formation, it's too overbearing. I suffered a bit back then..."

"I heard from the old dog and the old lizard that your name is Xing Batian?"

"Ah? Yes…"

"You were once the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race?"

"Er… The old dog and the old lizard really have loose lips, even telling you something like that." Xing Batian let out a light sigh. "Time flies so fast, tens of thousands of years have blinked by. I wonder how the Demon Race is doing now."
