Ancient Ancestral Emperor

Everyone followed the cave and walked inside, only then did they realize that the Xuan Qi was completely useless in this place. As for the demonic energy, it was impossible for it to produce flames here. He could only rely on his senses and his surroundings to slowly move forward.    

Fortunately, the Junior Second Elder had already scouted and returned. According to the Junior Second Elder, there was no danger within, but there were many guardians in the depths of the cave. In this situation, these so-called negative emotions were unwilling to move at all. They could only stand in their original spots.    

Even in the face of Qin Shaojie's threat, they were unwilling to enter the cave, so Qin Shaojie could only sigh, and had them wait outside.    

If they were to do this, the Demon King and the others would not be able to relax, and they would naturally know how powerful these soul bodies were. Once they were not within Qin Shaojie's monitoring range, only god knew what they were planning to do, and furthermore, if any of these fellows had any ulterior motives, they were all inside the cave, which was the true danger.    

But Qin Shaojie did not care, after all they were all just at the Saint level. Unless their strength reached that of a Venerable One, then who could possibly pose a fatal threat to them? Furthermore, he would not be able to stay in the outside world to watch over these spirits.    

As for what they wanted to escape for, Qin Shaojie did not care.    

From Qin Shaojie's point of view, as long as they did not leave Demon Mountain, then everything would still be under his control. Of course, the most important and critical thing was to enter the cave and find the numerous guardians mentioned by Junior Second Elder!    

The group carefully moved forward, afraid that they would attract something that they should not have, and even withdrew their auras.    

Everyone looked at each other and saw traces of excitement on their faces. Following the direction of the light, they increased their speed and if the brat from Junior Second Elder was accurate, then the light should be the so-called guardians that had disappeared into the depths of the Demon Mountain!    

These were the guardians?    

Finally, everyone appeared in the deepest part of the cave, and under the flickering of their eyes, even Qin Shaojie frowned slightly, and then asked with a shocked tone.    

There were several hundred martial artists sitting cross-legged in front of him. Their eyes were slightly closed and no aura was leaking out from their bodies. It was as if they had fallen asleep here. These martial artists sat together in a taiji style. There was a certain distance between them that could barely allow a person to pass between them.    

Although they didn't feel any aura from their bodies, their flesh and blood were still alive. To be able to preserve their flesh and blood to such a degree meant that the strength of these warriors was quite tyrannical.    

These are the guardians of our demon race!    

At this moment, the Infernal King and the others' hearts were constantly flickering. They never expected to see guardians who had disappeared for who knows how long in this place. Looking over, he saw some familiar faces among the guardians. Some of them were powerful people who had become famous when the Infernal King was young, and some were people of the same generation as the Infernal King but who had dedicated themselves to everything the Infernals had.    

Ever since they had entered the Demon Mountain, they had never taken a single step out of this place. Everyone was guarding everything on the Demon Mountain and they were even protecting the secret left behind by the Great Devil King back then!    

It could be said that they gave everything they had to the Great Demon King, to the demons and to Demon Mountain.    

No regrets. Even in this demon mountain that was filled with death and monotony, no demon had ever regretted it. They did not turn back, and this kind of fearless dedication was something every demon was proud of and respected!    

It was a pity that these once peak powerhouses of the demon race didn't have any life on their bodies. They didn't sense any aura, which caused the Demon King's heart to tremble. These guardians were the true foundation of the demons, and would be able to help the whole demons avoid danger at crucial moments. If they had all fallen here, it would have a fatal impact on the entire demon race.    

It was not only the Infernal King, but even the other core elders of the demon race that followed him had complicated expressions on their faces.    

Countless people had hoped that fate would prevent them from seeing these guardians, but unfortunately, they had never truly come into contact with them. After they entered the demon mountain, they wouldn't care about the demon race's battles. No matter what faction they were from before, after they entered the demon mountain, they would become guardians. However, he never expected that the next time he saw these guardians, it would be like this!    

How could everyone accept this!    

Even some of the core elders had turned pale! It was obvious that the damage caused to the whole demon race was beyond imagination.    

If the situation inside the Demon Mountain were to spread out, perhaps the entire demon race would collapse!    

The Infernal King could not sense any aura. Other than his physical body being complete, he was completely devoid of any signs of life!    

Finally, a core elder shakily said to the Infernal King. He had already inspected them. These guardians had lost their most basic demonic energy, and they didn't have any signs of life. This was clearly a sign that he had passed away in meditation. However, what they didn't understand was that it was impossible for experts at this level to all die here.    

Perhaps most of them had reached the end of their lifespan, but it was impossible for all several hundred guardians to be in such a state!    

That's right, it must be the negative emotions from the outside world. No wonder they didn't want to come in! I don't care if they are the Guardian's negative emotions, but I know that they must die! Finally, an Elder could not endure this kind of ending. A dense killing intent spread from his nearly hissing voice.    

These were the future support and reserves of the entire demon race. To fall here just like that, no matter what kind of mental preparation they made, was impossible to accept. At this moment, from their point of view, it was all because of those negative emotions!    

If he had considered that they were the spirits of the protectors earlier and was hesitant because of this, he could only wish to finish off all the spirits under this kind of killing intent!    

That was the only way to make them pay for the deaths of the guardians!    

Wait a minute!    

Just as the elders were flustered and exasperated, the Demon King shouted to make them quiet down. Because at that moment, he saw that Qin Shaojie did not have any other words to say.    

Young master, what did you find?    

The Demon King cupped his fists towards Qin Shaojie and asked softly. And only now did these elders of the devil race realize that something was amiss with Qin Shaojie.    

He continued to circle around these guardians, continuously touching them, as if he had discovered something. Although his face was grave, his gaze was not the same as when he had seen the dead man, but more like he had sensed that something was amiss.    

This situation allowed everyone to see hope once again.    

No matter what, Qin Shaojie was the Great Demon King's legacy, and he had something as powerful as the chain-link.    

Although some of the demons were still unsatisfied with the Demon Lord's honorific title of young master, since he was not a human after all, they were just demons, but they could do nothing as he had demoness by his side, and he truly had some methods, so he did not care too much about it, and turned his gaze towards Qin Shaojie.    

It was obvious that they hoped that Qin Shaojie would discover something here, and they even more so hoped that this kind of death was nothing more than a fake death, and that Qin Shaojie would be able to wake them up!    

No one dared to be negligent, and no one dared to speak, they only stood quietly behind Qin Shaojie, waiting for his results.    

On the other hand, Junior Second Elder's expression was the same as it was at the start.    

Although they were both demons, the current development of the demons was a disappointment to him. In such a difficult situation, the demons were still in a state of internal strife.    

At that time, the Great Demon King was thoroughly disappointed in the demons, and even the stone box was the main reason why he wasn't willing to stay in the demons.    

Back then, in the Da Suo Country, the remnant soul of the Demon King had been paying attention to the movements of the Demon Race. However, due to this action, the Great Demon King had never truly appeared, yet he was able to stabilize the Demon Race.    

Thus, although he felt somewhat regretful about the current situation of these demons, it was nothing more than this.    

If not for Qin Shaojie, the demons would have been completely annihilated in this war, and the world would no longer have demons!    

From the looks of it, they needed to thank Qin Shaojie properly.    

Because with his understanding of Qin Shaojie, it was impossible for him to be indifferent to the current situation of the entire Demon race. The fact that he could appear here was an indication of his attitude.    

But even so, there were still demons who were dissatisfied, if not for the relationship with the Great Demon King, they would have already attacked Qin Shaojie.    

Just like the spirit bodies he had seen before, he tried to snatch the Great Demon King's inheritance from Qin Shaojie no matter what.    

It was a pity that these people did not know that the Great Demon King did not leave Qin Shaojie with the so called inheritance, nor did he have too many treasures. What was left behind was only responsibility!    

If it was any other devil, perhaps no one would want this inheritance!    

It was truly strange. This situation should not have happened because the guardians were affected by the outside world. Everything was their own choice!    

After a long while, Qin Shaojie also slowly raised his head, but there was an additional trace of astonishment in his eyes. Then he slowly said in a deep voice.    

And these words, made everyone look at each other, obviously no one understood the meaning of Qin Shaojie's words!
