Chapter 502: Testing the Waters
Xu Zimo was slightly startled.
"The Demon Slaying Family... he had not thought of that name in a very long time."
"The Demon Slaying Family is not only responsible for hunting down the Heavenly Demons of every era; it also guards the Chaos Stone."
Baimeng said, "I must obtain the Chaos Stone before the Demon Suppressing Lock turns. Only then can I open the Space Gate."
