Upon hearing the words of the Light Emperor Venerable, Ji Zining raised an eyebrow.

Are Xiao Jing and his group about to enter Black Demon City?

They probably couldn't see her and wanted to follow her to investigate.

However, the Light Emperor Venerable is right; she should leave.

Xiao Jing and his group were unaware of the rules of Black Demon City. If they rashly entered Black Demon City, they would likely be besieged by all the Black Demon.

By then, even if they try to curb their hostility, it will be too late.

Only by stopping Xiao Jing and his group before they enter the city and attack the Black Demon can the subsequent events be prevented.

However, it would be somewhat unethical to leave immediately after receiving someone else's inheritance.

After a slight pause, Ji Zining spoke softly.

"Isn't there any way to get you out of here, or to restore your appearance?"

The Light Emperor Venerable trembled slightly, then shook his head abruptly.

"It's no use. Unless I possess the same power as it, I can't go anywhere, nor can I return to my former form."

"Even suicide is forbidden; I can only stay here until the end of time."

"You should leave this place. It's too eerie here; I'm afraid you'll be corrupted by it too."

Upon hearing this, Ji Zining nodded silently.

There was no other way, so she had to leave now. If she delayed any longer, Xiao Jing and the others would probably be trapped by the Black Demon.

"Farewell, senior!"

After speaking, Ji Zining bowed slightly to the Light Emperor Venerable and walked out of the golden hall without any hesitation.

The Light Emperor Venerable watched Ji Zining's departing figure and smiled slightly.

Goodbye, no, never again, this godforsaken place. You'd better not come back a second time.

After speaking, Light Emperor Venerable sat down cross-legged and began to stare blankly.

The only thing he could do to pass the time was to reminisce about everything that had happened in the past.

As I was thinking, time passed by.

After leaving the golden hall, Ji Zining didn't waste any time and hurried towards the entrance of Black Demon City.

Finally, after a short while, Ji Zining returned to the entrance of Black Demon City.

Ji Zining glanced at Xiao Jing and his group who had just entered the city and smiled with relief.

Fortunately, no disaster occurred.

When Xiao Jing and the others saw Ji Zining, their expressions lit up with joy, and they stood still and waved to Ji Zining.

" Your Divine Son Hall, you're back?"

Ji Zining approached Xiao Jing and the others, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Didn't I say not to enter the Black Demon City? How did you all get in on your own?"

"Come outside with me to talk."

With that, Ji Zining took the lead and walked through the archway, exiting the Black Demon City.

Xiao Jing and the others exchanged glances and then shrugged.

Well, I'm probably going to get a scolding, but it's good that His Divine Son Hall is alright.

They had just seen Ji Zining disappear into Black Demon City, so they thought they'd go in and check what was going on.

Ji Zining came out before we even went in, so there's no need for us to go in now.

Following behind Ji Zining, the group arrived at an open space more than ten miles away from Black Demon City.

Ji Zining turned around and said in a deep voice.

"You've all seen this Black Demon City; something's not right about it."

"If you don't show hostility within the city, the demonic energy and Black Demon inside won't attack you."

"Conversely, if you show even the slightest hostility, the Black Demon and demonic energy within will all target you, without exception."

"If I hadn't gotten out quickly, you'd probably be surrounded by the Black Demon by now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Jing and the others' expressions hardened.

Does not showing hostility mean they won't be targeted?

Will they immediately launch a full-scale attack and target us if we show any hostility?

Upon hearing Ji Zining's words, they understood what they had witnessed earlier.

No wonder! No wonder those demonic energies and Black Demon didn't attack Her Highness the Divine Son Hall; it was because of this!

The Black Demon could understand; if controlled by a powerful being, they could achieve this level of power.

But the demonic energy was rather bizarre; the Black Demon was alive, while the demonic energy was dead.

The living are easy to control; the dead are the hardest to control.

Possessing both qualities simultaneously is even more difficult, so the powerful being who transformed Black Demon City into this state must be no ordinary being!

They exchanged glances, and Xiao Jing and the others felt somewhat relieved.

If Ji Zining hadn't returned earlier, they might have really been besieged by the Black Demon, just as Ji Zining had said.

Even though they had sensed something was wrong before, it was of no use.

These are just guesses; they won't put them into practice when entering the Black Demon City. They will definitely choose to use spiritual power, harboring hostility towards the Black Demon and demonic energy.

This is a vicious cycle; only if Ji Zining comes out quickly can this be stopped.

Ji Zining noticed the change in Xiao Jing and the others' expressions, and her own expression softened slightly.

She knew that Xiao Jing and the others were thinking of her, and she wasn't angry about it.

Ji Zining simply wanted Xiao Jing and the others to know that they always needed to remain vigilant, no matter what.

Without vigilance, the road to future success will inevitably be fraught with difficulties.

Ji Zining raised her hand, drawing the attention of Xiao Jing and the others, and then chuckled softly.

"Alright, do you know what I gained from this trip to Black Demon City?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing and the others all showed expressions of curiosity.

There must be something good that Ji Zining has encountered in a place like Black Demon City, otherwise Ji Zining wouldn't be so secretive.

Qing Tan hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"I've been wanting to ask you this for a while now, Your Divine Son Hall, what's that pinned in your hair?"

"Before you went in, Your Divine Son Hall, I remember you weren't wearing anything."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing and the others noticed that Ji Zining had a small palace-shaped ornament on her head, which looked quite peculiar.

Upon hearing this, Ji Zining smiled faintly and removed the Abyssal Spirit Hall hair ornament from her hair.

"You mean this? I found it somewhere in Black Demon City."

"Don't let its small size fool you; its power is immense. Even if its soul is scattered, it can reassemble."

"There is now the soul of a Great Emperor inside, its former owner."

Even a shattered soul can be reassembled!

The divine soul of Great Emperor!

With such power and strength, could their Divine Son Hall have obtained the inheritance of Great Emperor?

Such good fortune left them with not even the slightest bit of envy.

If Ji Zining knew, she would want to say that it wasn't just one Great Emperor's inheritance, but like last time, two Great Emperor -level inheritances at once!

Upon noticing the slight upturn of Ji Zining's lips, Xiao Jing and the others were completely stunned.

So they guessed right?

Having arrived at the Ancient Chaos Graveyard, I received the inheritances of three powerful Great Emperor, and my cultivation level soared.

Xiao Jing and the others believed that it wouldn't be long before their Divine Son Hall would rise to great heights!

Ji Zining took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

"There are a few more things, let me explain in detail."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing and the others immediately showed expressions of listening intently.

Having obtained the Great Emperor's inheritance within the Black Demon City, Ji Zining must know everything about Black Demon City.

Not only that, but there are also the changes in the Ancient Chaos Graveyard, and where did those Black Demon come from?

Ji Zining relayed most of the information that the Light Emperor Venerable had told her to Xiao Jing and the others, including almost everything that had changed in the Ancient Chaos Graveyard.

Of course, Ji Zining didn't hide anything about the Light Emperor Venerable, nor did she need to.

After hearing this, Xiao Jing and the others remained speechless for a long time.

The Black Demon City was built by a fallen Great Emperor who controlled the Black Demon, simply to alleviate his loneliness.

These powerful beings who risked their lives for All Heavens and Myriad Realms could not find peace even in death, leaving them speechless with indescribable grief.

Is this place a two-sided world?

It's a two-sided world!

Their location was reversed from the Ancient Chaos Graveyard, which is why a completely different scene appeared.

This is not the place Chen Chang'an visited last time!
