"What? Seriously injured?"

The expressions of the Celestial Shadow Palace Master and the Elder changed dramatically.

Gu Chenfeng was the first to step out.

The Palace Master and the Elder also hurriedly followed.

At this moment.

In the palace square.

Flame Shadow, enduring his severe injuries, angrily cursed, "That damned stinky centipede, how dare it poison me? Next time, I'm going to chop off all your legs!"

"Three legs to dig your grave! Three legs to offer incense! Three legs to stab your heart! Three legs... and the rest, I'll bring back to roast and eat!"

The more Flame Shadow said, the angrier he became, leaving all the Celestial Shadow Immortal Palace disciples in a stupor.

One disciple, dumbfounded, asked, "Um... Young Master, are you okay?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me?" Flame Shadow replied arrogantly, yet his bruised face, tattered clothes, and bloodstains betrayed his pitiful state.

Gu Chenfeng grinned, "So lively, doesn't seem like the injuries are too bad."

"Bad my ass! Can that stinky centipede possibly harm me? If I hadn't been so merciful to let it go..." Flame Shadow muttered, but then suddenly snapped back to reality.

"Gu Chenfeng!" Flame Shadow widened his eyes and immediately pretended to be gravely injured, collapsing to the ground and crying out, "Feng Shao, you have to stand up for me! That damned centipede ambushed me, look at what it has done to me, you must avenge me."

Seeing Flame Shadow's 180-degree change, his tears and pitiful act left the Immortal Palace disciples bewildered.

The Palace Master and Elder simply shook their heads in exasperation, looking at him as if he were an idiot.

Gu Chenfeng shook his head helplessly, a mix of amusement and annoyance welling up inside him as he looked at Flame Shadow.

Gu Chenfeng squatted down and asked with a smile, "Stop pretending, get up and tell me what actually happened."

The Palace Master huffed, "Stop pretending, get up!"

Flame Shadow feigned pain, looking pitiful, "Feng Shao, aren't you being a bit heartless? Can't you see how badly I'm injured?"

Gu Chenfeng grinned, "If you don't get up, I'll make sure you really have to lie down."

"I'm getting up right now!" Flame Shadow's face changed dramatically, quickly jumping up in fright.

Gu Chenfeng gave him a quick once-over, smiling faintly, "The injuries aren't too severe, but the external wounds look quite bad, seems like you took quite a beating."

Flame Shadow was filled with anger, gnashing his teeth, "Feng Shao, I'm telling you, those Demon Realm beasts are too detestable! I was just trying to inquire about the Infinite Golden Crow and accidentally stumbled into that centipede's territory. It ambushed me without a word, and I was caught off guard."

"Otherwise, with my cultivation and powerful body technique, even if it were at the Immortal Venerable Realm, it couldn't do anything to me."

"Only the weak find excuses for themselves," the Palace Master doused cold water on him directly.

The Grand Elder smiled lightly, "The Young Master must have encountered an Immortal Venerable level demon beast. It's quite commendable that he returned alive."

Flame Shadow beamed with pride, "Elder really knows how to talk."

However, a trace of fear and unwillingness flickered in Flame Shadow's eyes as he continued, "But that beast is very strong, and its physical body is extremely powerful. I couldn't match it in a direct fight and could only run for my life."

"If I hadn't run fast enough, you wouldn't have seen me, Feng Shao. But I didn't come back empty-handed; while that stinky centipede was chasing me, I overheard information about the Infinite Golden Crow and confirmed it's deep in those mountains."

"That's good," Gu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "Go heal first, you still have some poison in your body, got to expel it quickly."

Flame Shadow patted his chest with a smile, "Don't worry, Feng Shao, these injuries are nothing; a few days of rest and I'll recover."

Gu Chenfeng nodded with a smile, "You rest well, and after you've recovered, we'll head to the Demon Realm together."

In the following days.

With the powerful Healing Pills, Flame Shadow's injuries gradually healed.

Flame Shadow had been harboring a grudge, determined to settle the score and tear that stinky centipede to pieces.

In Flame Shadow's palace.

Once fully recovered, Flame Shadow immediately went to find Gu Chenfeng.

Gu Chenfeng was busy with alchemy at the moment.

"Feng Shao, I'm fully recovered, we can set off now," Flame Shadow said with a beaming smile, eager to get revenge on the centipede.

Gu Chenfeng glanced at Flame Shadow, smiling lightly, "Are you familiar with the Demon Realm?"

"Not really," Flame Shadow shrugged, "I've been there twice, but I do know the Ghost Rat Race in the Demon Realm. They're not very strong but are very knowledgeable about Demon Realm affairs."

"They're the ones who told me that the Infinite Golden Crow was seen in Demon Soul Mountain, which is the largest mountain range in the Demon Realm and the most densely populated area for Demon Realm races."

Gu Chenfeng waved his hand, causing the elixir to fly out of the Alchemy Furnace, then reached out and caught it in mid-air, storing the Third Grade pills in his Storage Ring.

"Let's go, we'll head to the Demon Realm now," Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, "In fact, I've never been to the Demon Realm before, just as well, I can see how Fire Qilin and the others are doing."

"Fire Qilin?" Flame Shadow asked, slightly surprised.

Gu Chenfeng smiled lightly, "It's the ancestor of the Demon Race in the Cultivation Realm. After its ascension, it went to the Demon Realm. But I don't know where they are in the Demon Realm now."

"That's easy, we'll go directly to the Ghost Rat Race," Flame Shadow laughed, then flew out an Eight Trigrams Disc Magical Treasure, infusing it with terrifying immortal power.

The Eight Trigrams Disc suddenly burst forth with dazzling green light, projecting an array several meters wide.

"Feng Shao, let's go," Flame Shadow said with a smile as the two of them stepped into the green array and vanished without a trace.

A few minutes later.

In a void somewhere in the Demon Realm, a green array appeared out of nowhere.

Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow stepped out of the array.

Looking at the unfamiliar world, Gu Chenfeng smiled faintly, "So this is the Demon Realm? Its aura is quite unique." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"That's right!" Flame Shadow said cheerfully, "The Demon Realm holds no enmity towards the Immortal Realm, as long as we don't offend them or invade their territories, they won't treat us as enemies even if they see us."

"Of course, there are unfriendly ones, like that stinky centipede."

In the mysterious and vast Demon Realm, a strange and unique aura pervades. The sky here is often shrouded in mist, at times presenting dark red or deep purple hues, as if concealing endless mysteries and dangers.

Forests and mountains are common landscapes in the Demon Realm, with distributions and densities beyond imagination.

Within the forests grow various peculiar flowers and grasses, some of which may be deadly poisonous, while others can emit mind-bewitching fragrances.

In addition to their unique nests, the powerful races of the Demon Realm have also built grand and imposing palaces.

Flame Shadow smiled faintly, "Let's go, we'll head to the Ghost Rat Race first, I roughly remember the direction."
