He could not even locate her, so he rushed to Flying Eagles Academy without stopping.
At this moment, that demon tribe’s governor, an old leopard demon known as Aesop finally made his move after occupying Flying Eagles Academy for a month.
“The Wasteland once had its glory during ancient times. There may be some leftover treasures of the humans that the ancient supremes had used in the past over here. Even our demon supremes were here before too.”
“Recently, I’ve received the news that an ancient demon king of our demon tribe once fought with a supreme human being. They fought all their way into the Wasteland, but both of them went missing in the end. Those two supremes most likely died in the Wasteland!”
After Aesop said that, a strong demon member with a face full of long hair next to him exclaimed, “Governor Aesop, could it be that the demon king that you’re talking about is the Peacock Heavenly King that dominated the demon world five thousand years ago?”
Aesop nodded. “Yes.”
That person next to him exclaimed, “The Peacock Heavenly King is the supreme being in the demon world. Rumor has it that she had a supreme psychic treasure that could crush the human race’s holy tool, the Xavion Sword! Back then, she and Emperor Xavion fought all the way from the wilderness in the north into the Wasteland. After that, there was no news about them anymore…”
Hiss!
Everyone’s mood unusually heightened.
If they could find the place where the Peacock Heavenly King had died and find the weapons and legacy that she had left behind, it would simply be a windfall like a stunned ordinary person after getting trillions of assets. Then, Aesop continued, “There’s an opening at the ancient force field now, so we can enter it. This is a great opportunity. Because of the rules, the humans over here generally aren’t strong, which gives us an opportunity! I have a treasure from the demon tribe with me here. It’s slightly related to the Peacock Heavenly King back then, so it can pick up some of her scent. I’ve been preparing for a month. Finally, I can see some signs of a positive outcome.”
Someone immediately asked, “What signs of a positive outcome?”
Aesop said, “According to the senses of my treasure, the Peacock Heavenly King’s scent is in the west, but the exact location is still not confirmed.”
“Governor, what are we waiting for then? Let’s go and look for the treasure now! Those are the Peacock Heavenly King’s items. If we could find the Peacock Heavenly King’s precious body, it would be even better!” The person who spoke had a head like a bird and a pointy nose. This guy was the big roc demon that could spread his wings five hundred meters wide and was known as the Sky Roc.
Aesop said, “This is a rather important matter. It’d be best if we don’t bring too many people along. So, I think just the few of us here is enough. We should work together and look for the treasure first. Then, we can distribute the loot. What do you guys think?”
Everyone present looked at each other in dismay and nodded their heads.
Alex nodded. “Let’s sneak over to see for ourselves then. If there’s really a treasure, we’ll snatch it. The demon king’s treasure should be very good! Oh, the Xavion Sword of Emperor Xavion is a legendary divine artifact!”
Jade looked at him and smiled gently. “Don’t get too excited now. These guys are not easy to deal with.”
Alex smiled and said, “Aren’t you here too, Master? Even if a terrible disaster happens, you’re strong enough to hold it up. I’ll be your little disciple in peace.”
“Why can’t you let me be the little girl in peace?”
“Master, you can’t be lazy.”
“Pfft!”
At this moment, she picked up a scent that came from above and her expression immediately changed. “He’s back?”
