Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1824 Chapter 1824 Demon Emperor

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded and said.

"Follow me!" Qu You said.

Ye Qing and the others nodded.

Soon, the group quickly left the pyramid.

After leaving the pyramid, they quickly increased their speed and headed towards the distance along the Demon Realm!

“We might be located by them. Aren’t you afraid they’ll recognize you when they get here?” Ye Qing asked.

"Why should we be afraid?" Qu You asked.

"Don't you have a contract?" Ye Qing asked.

“What we’re doing doesn’t mean we’re breaking the contract!” Qu You said.

"Huh?" Ye Qing asked.

“The contract doesn’t stipulate that we are not allowed to cooperate with others,” Qu You said.

Ye Qing was speechless. "You can even exploit bugs like this?"

"A bug?" Qu You asked in confusion.

"It's nothing!" Ye Qing shook his head, and the group transformed into streaks of light and quickly headed in a certain direction!

After traveling for about fifteen minutes, streams of demonic energy appeared behind Ye Qing and his companions.

At this moment, they arrived at an open area! Qu You said, "Remember that rock over there!"

Ye Qing looked to the left, and in that direction, there was a huge rock with what appeared to be some writing on it!

"Then remember every step I take from here on out. If you want to leave this place, you must take the right step every time you want to get out!" Qu You said again.

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded!

Then, he saw Qu You take a step out, and Ye Qing and the others quickly followed. When Ye Qing took a step out, the vanished Demon Realm Gate in front of him appeared instantly!

"I've sped up, so don't go the wrong way!" Qu You said again!

Then his speed suddenly increased.

Ye Qing and the others quickly followed, and as he moved forward, they felt they were getting closer and closer to the door!

"Qu You!"

Just then, a roar resounded, and with the tearing sound of the roar, a violent demonic aura swept in from behind!

Qu You increased her speed again, and Ye Qing and the others quickly followed.

Before long, they finally reached the back of the door!

Just as they were walking out, a man dressed in black robes suddenly appeared at the side of the gate, staring intently at Qu You, Ye Qing, and the others with his eyes wide open!

"Don't worry, you won't get out!" Qu You wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then turned to look at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Demon Emperor!"

"Qu You, did you summon these people?" the Demon Emperor asked, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

"They stumbled into this place by mistake!" Qu You said calmly. "Of course, I also plan to cooperate with them to eliminate all of you demons!"

"Do you know what you're doing? Are you trying to break the pact between our two races?" The Demon Emperor's face turned ferocious as he said, "Take them down now and bring them in, and I'll pretend nothing happened!"

"I don't think I've broken the contract, and it's not time to offer you tributes yet!" Qu You said.

"You!" The Demon Emperor's expression shifted between light and shadow as he said, "Our two races have shared weal and woe for many years. Qu You, do you really intend to take this step?"

Qu You curled her lip and said, "Go to hell! The passage was destroyed in an accident, and my Soul Clan couldn't leave this dark area. After I explained the situation to you, what did you say? You said the contract was in that place, and we had to provide you with tribute. I couldn't break the contract, otherwise my Soul Clan would be wiped out! I could only draw lots every year to select clansmen to come and give to you!"

"Your demon race has grown stronger by absorbing the souls of my soul race! And my soul race is now on the verge of extinction!" Qu You said, "Now you want to talk to me about a contract?"

"It's alright, when your demon race is wiped out, this contract will naturally be gone!" Qu You said.

"Do you think you can destroy my demon race with these few little kids?" the Demon Emperor roared.

"Why not? They all possess unique characteristics. Do you think they might be backed by powerful sects?" Qu You licked his lips and said, "Instead of being wiped out, why don't you tear up that contract, then you stay in the Demon Realm, and we'll stay in the darkness, each minding our own business? How about that!"

"You're dreaming!" the Demon Emperor sneered.

"Then just wait to be wiped out!" Qu You said.

"Breaking the contract is fine. If we break the contract, then your Soul Clan will break the contract too!" the Demon Emperor said.

"Then this place won't be able to keep you in check!" Qu You said. "Once your demon race comes out, it seems that even my Soul Clan won't be able to withstand you!"

"You are courting your own destruction!" The Demon Emperor stared intently at Qu You!

"Stop yelling!" Just then, Ye Qing said, "You are the Demon Emperor?"

The Demon Emperor looked at Ye Qing and said, "The Chaos Dao Tree!"

Ye Qing licked his lips and said, "Show me your crystal core. I'll check it out and see if I have a chance to become a Great Emperor after absorbing it!"

The Demon Emperor looked at Ye Qing and said, "Come here, come here and I'll show you!"

His voice seemed to carry a kind of bewitching quality, making people unable to resist going there!

"Alright, I'll keep it here for a few days. I'll come back to pick it up in a couple of days. You must take good care of it!" Ye Qing said.

"I'll kill you!" the Demon Emperor roared.

But even the Great Emperor seemed unable to break free from the constraints of this gate and walk out of it.

"Let's go!" Qu You took a deep breath and said, "Let's leave this place first, there's no need to say anything more to them!"

Ye Qing nodded, turned around, and left with the group of people, leaving only the Demon Emperor standing angrily in front of the gate, staring intently at Ye Qing and the others' backs!

They continued walking, and soon they came to another strange rock. Qu You asked, "Did you remember the steps you took just now?"

Ye Qing nodded.

For them to remember now, this is not a difficult thing!

“Remember these footsteps!” Qu You said, “This place is a formation leading to darkness. If you don’t follow the proper path, you’ll never find that crimson light curtain!”

Ye Qing nodded.

Sure enough, after taking a step, Ye Qing saw the blood-red light screen again. This time, Qu You walked much slower. Before long, they arrived in front of the light screen and passed through it successfully.

Ye Qing slowly exhaled. After stepping out of the light curtain, he felt some marks he had left in the darkness.

"Everyone, you should leave this place first. It's still early. Go out and erase the marks on your bodies. Also, it would be best if you broke through to the Saint level before entering this place. It doesn't matter if it takes a few more days. Of course, if possible, you can capture some exotic beasts or bad people for us and send them here. Every year, we need to offer them one Saint-level soul, ten Venerable-level souls, and hundreds of Domain Lord-level souls!"

"Every year?" Ye Qing pondered for a moment before saying, "We will try our best to meet your requirements, until we deal with these demons in the Demon Realm!"

"Thank you!" Qu You said.

"That's right!" Just then, Lin Qianyu said, "We know the way out, why don't you come with us..."

Qu You shook his head and said, "That passage contains a strange law. We don't know how it was created, but even saints cannot leave that place!"

Ye Qing said speechlessly, "Alright then, we'll leave here first!"

“Okay! Remember our agreement!” Qu You said.

"After we get the items, how will we find you?" Ye Qing asked again.

Qu You thought for a moment, then took out a dagger and tossed it to Ye Qing, saying, "After you enter this place, this dagger will guide you in the direction of my Soul Clan!"

"Okay!" Ye Qing nodded, and then the two said goodbye to each other.

Following the marks he had left behind, Ye Qing quickly arrived at a passage.

They passed through the passage smoothly. Lin Qianyu frowned and said, "What kind of law is it that can imprison the Soul Clan but has no effect on us at all!"

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go back and find that stupid dog and see what he can do to remove the marks on us."
