Half an hour later.
Hidden Mist Mountain.
Inside a cave dwelling.
Chen Fan looked at the goat demon before him with a subtle expression.
"Brother Po Yue, you weren't lying to me, were you?"
Po Yue was the goat demon's name.
Only after Chen Fan had sworn an oath to the Heavenly Dao did Po Yue tell him the full details.
It turned out that one of Po Yue's friends, another Marquess-ranked Demon Star, had accidentally discovered a Dragon-Elephant Clan ruin within a forbidden region of the Demon Domain.
He had encountered no small amount of danger and trouble within that ruin, but he had also gained quite a harvest.
Yet his strength was limited, and he had been unable to venture deeper into the ruin.
In order to obtain greater benefits and treasures, he had shared the information with Po Yue.

According to Po Yue, it was a special passage. Once anyone stepped inside, it would unleash an unceasing barrage of ferocious attacks.
With their strength, neither of them could pass through it. They had even nearly lost their lives.
"Neither my friend nor I possess a nine-star defensive Dao artifact. Under such attacks, we simply couldn't hold out. After several fruitless attempts, we could only withdraw for the time being..."
