Chapter 874: Chapter 864: Thousand-Year Profound Ice Lake

"What a terrifying poison!"

Watching the flowers, grass, and trees wither and rot at a speed visible to the naked eye, Flame Shadow broke out in cold sweat. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Gu Chenfeng activated the Ancient Divine Power, forming a golden defense shield that instantly enveloped him and Flame Shadow.

In the next second.

A purple-black storm swept over, engulfing Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow.

"Haha, more prey delivered right to us! And humans, no less!"

"Look at these two, so tender, with the aura of the Immortal Realm. The clan leader will surely be pleased!"

"Exactly! The clan leader loves young and handsome human males, they’re just perfect! Haha!"

Within the purple-black poisonous mist came the sound of several arrogant laughs.

"Fond of young and handsome males?" Flame Shadow was slightly taken aback, then quickly said, "I know who they are now."

"You know?" Gu Chenfeng looked at Flame Shadow.

Flame Shadow smiled slightly, "They are the Rot Scorpion Race. When I first came to the Demon Realm, I heard that the clan leader of the Rot Scorpion Race likes young and handsome males, everyone in the Demon Realm knows that."

"As for what exactly they do, I don’t know. Maybe for cultivation, or perhaps for some other reason."

Not long after.

When the purple-black poisonous storm faded away.

A group of Rot Scorpion clansmen rushed in, led by a tall Rot Scorpion man, with a face full of a sinister smile.

"Brat, hand over all your treasures and obediently come back with us to be presented to our Scorpion Queen Clan Leader!" the Rot Scorpion leader arrogantly said, looking like he was certain of controlling Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow.

"Boss, they actually resisted our tribe’s poison!" a clansman exclaimed in shock, "Their strength must be very strong, right?"

"Strong?" The leading clansman sneered disdainfully, "So what if they’re strong? This is the Demon Soul Mountain Range of the Demon Realm, even an Immortal Emperor can’t leave alive."

"Facing our tribe’s poison, even an Immortal Emperor has only a dead end."

Flame Shadow crossed his arms and sneered, "Tsk tsk, so arrogant; this poison might only kill cockroaches, do you really think you can handle us?"

"I’m in a good mood today, so I advise you to leave immediately or go catch someone else for your clan leader. Otherwise, your lives are at risk."

"Lives at risk?" The Rot Scorpion leader was first taken aback, then laughed heartily, "You dare to act arrogant in front of our Rot Scorpion Race?"

"Hahaha!" The Rot Scorpion people laughed wildly.

Gu Chenfeng remained calm, saying indifferently, "We have no grievances or animosity, and I don’t intend to be your enemy. Please make way, we have important matters to attend to."

"Make way?" the Rot Scorpion leader mocked, "Your important matters are none of our concern, and even if there are no grievances, we can still capture you and bring you back."

As the words fell.

The leader waved his hand, and the many Rot Scorpion clansmen behind him released a purple-black poisonous mist, quickly spreading for hundreds of feet.

"Haha, taste the power of our Rot Scorpion Race’s poison!"

"The poison we released is ten times stronger than the poisonous storm earlier!"

"Rest assured, we won’t poison you to death. We still need to catch you for a reward! Haha!"

The Rot Scorpions laughed wildly.

"Fools." Flame Shadow shook his head.

"Since this is the case, I won’t hold back." Gu Chenfeng curled his lips into a dangerous smile, then lightly waved his hand, dispersing the poisonous mist with powerful force.

The purple-black poison within hundreds of feet instantly vanished without a trace.

"This... how is this possible?" The Rot Scorpion leader was shocked, eyes widening in disbelief.

The Rot Scorpion people’s wild laughter abruptly stopped.

Gu Chenfeng’s eyes turned icy, forming a Sword Point with his right hand. Dozens of golden energy swords instantly formed around him, each emanating a terrifying aura.

"Not good! Run!" The Rot Scorpion leader screamed in terror, quickly turning to flee.

The Rot Scorpion people also fled in panic.

Flame Shadow mocked with a cold smile, "Running now seems a bit late."

"Go!" Gu Chenfeng lightly commanded.

Dozens of terrifying golden energy swords shot towards the Rot Scorpions like lightning, piercing through the bodies of dozens of them in an instant.

"Ah!"

Screams echoed as the remaining Rot Scorpions fled in terror, scared out of their wits.

Gu Chenfeng reached out and grabbed across the air, forcibly pulling back an escaping clansman.

Gu Chenfeng asked coldly, "Tell me, where is the Heaven-Devouring Fox tribe?"

The Rot Scorpion clansman trembled in fear, "Deep in the Demon Soul Mountain Range, at the Thousand-Year Profound Ice Lake. You can feel the cold energy there, follow it to find the Heaven-Devouring Fox territory."

"Sir, we realize our mistake, please spare me. My grandmother is getting married tomorrow..."

"Scram!" Gu Chenfeng shouted angrily, throwing the Rot Scorpion clansman far away.

The Rot Scorpion clansman fled headlong, terrified that Gu Chenfeng might change his mind and kill him.

At this moment.

"Just wait! The Rot Scorpion Race won’t let you off!" came an angry shout from the depths of the mountain range.

"Let’s go." Gu Chenfeng said with a faint smile, completely unconcerned about the leader’s threat.

Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow flew low towards their destination, encountering various demon beast races along the way, but none were hostile.

An hour later.

They finally reached the deeper regions of the Demon Soul Mountain Range.

"Feng brother, the cold energy is in that direction." Flame Shadow pointed, "The Thousand-Year Profound Ice Lake is over there."

Gu Chenfeng said, slightly surprised, "The cold energy is extremely powerful. The Thousand-Year Profound Ice Lake must contain immense power, and the Heaven-Devouring Fox tribe’s strength shouldn’t be weak either."

After a short while.

Gu Chenfeng and Flame Shadow followed the cold energy to the Thousand-Year Profound Ice Lake.

The Thousand-Year Profound Ice Lake is vast, with cold energy more than ten times stronger than before.

In the center of the vast Thousand-Year Profound Ice Lake, a majestic mountain peak floated.

The imposing palace of the Heaven-Devouring Fox tribe was built atop the mountain, towering into the clouds, impressive and grand.

"Truly magnificent." Flame Shadow couldn’t help but marvel, "When I entered the Demon Soul Mountain Range half a year ago, how did I not notice this?"

After sensing briefly, Flame Shadow added in awe, "Late-stage Demon Venerable! The Heaven-Devouring Fox tribe’s strength is indeed very strong, even more powerful than the Fire-Swallowing Python Race, and the cold energy can suppress the Fire-Swallowing Python Race’s flames."

"The Demon Realm’s races are truly formidable, one more powerful than the last, and this is only the deeper parts. The innermost tribes must be terrifying beyond imagination."

Gu Chenfeng didn’t pay attention to the majestic palace, instead slowly approaching the lake shore.

Gu Chenfeng reached out and grabbed a strand of lake water into his palm, using Soul Power to carefully sense it.

Seeing this.

Flame Shadow frowned and asked, "Feng brother, is there something wrong with the lake water?"
