energy that was attacking.

With just one strike, it annihilated it.

“Ugh!”

A slightly pained grunt came from not too far away.

Someone was there!

Qin Niu’s nerves instantly tensed.

There was actually someone in this space who could it be?

Could it be an adventurer like him, who came in searching for treasure and then accidentally got sucked into this space?

“Who’s there?”

Qin Niu bent over to pick up two stones from the ground, while sternly calling

out.

That person had just launched a chill energy attack at him, clearly harboring ill intent.

This time, three streams of chill energy assaulted him.

Coming from different directions.

They were filled with an evil presence, carrying a dense scent of death, similar to the chill energy that descended from the branches of the Ancient Banyan

Tree.

But compared to it, the chill energy from the Ancient Banyan Tree at night seemed more condensed, and it did not carry such an intense deathly aura.

Qin Niu did not know what this triple stream of chill energy was and directly struck out with his blade.

The technique he used was a mass-killing skill, the Sweeping Strike.

The three streams of chill energy had no resistance against the slash of his Ink

Blade and were all extinguished.

In the shadows, that person’s muffled grunt sounded once more.

This time, Qin Niu did not hold back.

As he closed in on the opponent, he threw the two stones in his hand towards

the source of the sound.

For a practitioner of the Innate Realm, even a mere stone thrown held considerable power.

Bang Bang!

The stones struck something hard, sparking off flints, shattering the stones

into several pieces.

Then they fell to the ground.

Using the faint light from the sparks, Qin Niu finally saw the scene in front of him.

It was a human-shaped stone sculpture.

But this sculpture was much bulkier than an average person, its body as thick

as a bear’s.

The height was around one and a half meters.

It was sitting cross-legged.

Another detail, the sculpture was black.

The facial features were quite vague; it was unclear if it was due to the lack of detailed carving on the face or for some other reason.

A stone sculpture should be an inanimate object, right? How could it possibly emit a grunt?

Qin Niu felt utterly baffled.

Feeling that all the threat was emanating from this sculpture, he quickly approached and swung his blade.

“Mercy, have mercy!”

The stone sculpture let out a terrified plea for clemency.

It sounded aged, clearly a male’s voice.

“Playing tricks! Who are you?”

Qin Niu coldly questioned the stone sculpture.

“He Houyi!”

The stone sculpture seemed very afraid of Qin Niu.

“You’re called what?”

Qin Niu could hardly believe his ears.

“He Houyi.”

The stone sculpture repeated.

-You, you’re the beekeeper from Black Stone Village? The one who single-handedly took on the entire Seven-Star Sect as the Green Demon?”

Qin Niu knew that the Green Demon’s real name was He Houyi.

It was just that later, because the bees he raised were green killer bees, and his actions were similar to that of a demon king, who slaughtered the entire village, he was thus given the name Green Demon.

“Heh… Let the world call me Green Demon if they wish! I’ve raised bees, I’ve killed people, but I ask myself, those I killed were the ones who had to be killed. The Seven-Star Sect, in my eyes, is no big deal.”

The stone sculpture’s voice carried a hint of self-ridicule.

And a trace of melancholy.

“Hmph, everyone here deserves death? If 1 hadn’t been vigilant, if 1 couldn’t resist those cold and evil creatures, I’m afraid I would’ve been dead by now. You’ve exhausted every scheme to leave behind the Green Demon Beekeeping Manual, deliberately including a treasure map inside, luring people step by step into your trap. Such actions are thoroughly demonic. Today, you cannot remain, I’ll send you on your way first, to prevent future calamities for humanity and continued harm to the world.”

Qin Niu raised his blade to strike the stone sculpture again.

The two stones had just struck it, sparking on impact, indicating the surface of

the sculpture was very hard.

The Green Demon must have also been a figure from at least two hundred years ago, it was quite unexpected that he could live until now.

Living within a stone sculpture, who knows what method he used? “Don’t kill me! Luring people here in search of treasure was a last resort. Back then, I killed the Seven Star Sect Master, angering the higher-ups of the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect. They sent an Immortal Master to kill me.

In front of the Immortal Master, I had no power to resist.

The Green Demon Bees I had painstakingly raised were easily exterminated by him.

1 managed to use a substitution method to escape the calamity of death. But after I fled back to this cavern beneath the Cold Pond, although I didn’t die, I might as well have been a living corpse. I had to survive by sucking the lifeblood of living people.”

Over the years, I’ve been trying every possible way to get my revenge, as long as I can avenge this great enmity, without you needing to lift a finger, I will take my own life as thanks to the world. To give an explanation to those people

I’ve killed.”

The Green Demon’s words were earnest.

But Qin Niu listened expressionlessly.

“What were those cold and evil creatures that attacked me just now?”

“It’s a secret technique I cultivated, equivalent to my avatar.”

“When you were slain by the Immortal Master from the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, your cultivation should have been strong, what realm were you in at that time?”

“I was already in the Innate Realm.”

The Green Demon answered crisply.

“Later Stage of the Innate Realm?”

“Yes.”

As the Green Demon answered, he seemed straightforward but actually played

a trick.

He did not specify which stage of the Innate Realm he had reached.

The difference between the Initial Stage and the Later Stage of the Innate Realm is immense.

“The secret technique you cultivated, you must have already been practicing it before you fought the Immortal Master from the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect, right?”

“Yes!”

The Green Demon, facing an opponent like Qin Niu, must have felt helpless.

Mature beyond his years, with extraordinary wisdom and strategy.

All his schemes and tactics were ineffective in front of Qin Niu.

“How many Beekeeping Manuals have you left outside?”

“Over a hundred.”

“Does every single one contain a treasure map?

“Yes!”

“When I touched that crystalline lotus flower at the bottom of the pond, why did a whirlpool suddenly form, sucking me in?”

“That was a trap.”

“What is the name of that plant?”

“Ice Lotus!”

“Was it growing here in this pond originally, or did you plant it?”

“It was already here.”

“The water in the pond is bone-chillingly cold, is it related to that?

“Yes.”

-How do you usually deal with other adventurers? Just wait for them to be sucked in and freeze into ice blocks?”

“Those with weaker cultivation will be directly frozen to death. Those stronger will fall into the Blood Pool, where my avatar will deal with them.”

“How do you suck their lifeblood?”

“My avatar can suck it. Once they die, their fresh blood will merge into the Blood Pool.”

“How do I leave this place?”

Qin Niu had asked almost everything he wanted and began to ask the most crucial question.

“There are two passages. One is where you were sucked in, you can attempt to burst out from that spot. Your cultivation is probably in the Initial Stage of the innate Realm; it might be difficult to achieve. The second passage is beneath the Blood Pool; there’s a cave that leads to the outside bottom of the Cold Pond, they are connected. However, there is a segment that is extremely cold, but you should be able to withstand it.”

The Green Demon taught him the two methods of leaving.

“Hmm, thank you for your answers.”

Qin Niu did not inquire about the whereabouts of the Green Demon Bees, but instead coldly and ruthlessly swung his blade at the statue.

Bang!

The stone sculpture was shattered, revealing the flesh body inside.

After so many years, the flesh body of the Green Demon had not been destroyed. It was an older man with a sinister appearance and gray hair..
