South Lake in the South Lake Mountains

Kong Wenxuan didn't know if the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast truly understood his meaning, since Demon Beast have no intelligence or wisdom.

But at this point, he could only continue to follow, trailing behind the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast, hoping that it truly understood his meaning and would lead him to the location of the Demon Race's stronghold.

This time, it was no longer a pursuit. The level-three black tiger Demon Beast began to walk and stop intermittently, seemingly hesitant and afraid. Moreover, the further it went, the more obvious its hesitation and fear became.

Seeing this, Kong Wenxuan felt even more confident that there was a great chance this time. The Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast must have understood his meaning, and the direction it was leading him in was very likely the location of the Demon Race race's stronghold.

Otherwise, this Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast shouldn't be so hesitant and afraid!

Therefore, Kong Wenxuan stopped his forceful pursuit and chase, and simply followed behind, letting the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast hesitate, be afraid, and stop and start.

As long as the other party can eventually lead him to the location of the Demon Race clan's stronghold, it doesn't matter if the journey is slow and takes several months.

Finally, a month later, Kong Wenxuan followed the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast, which was walking and stopping intermittently, and arrived at a place that was somewhat unexpected to him.

This is a huge lake, stretching for thousands of miles, like a small ocean, and it is South Lake in the "South Lake Mountains"!

After reaching the vicinity of "South Lake", the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast immediately flipped over and lay on its back, trying to charm and beg Kong Wenxuan, but refused to take another step forward.

However, Kong Wenxuan no longer needed the other party to lead the way.

Looking at the enormous "South Lake" before him, Kong Wenxuan was somewhat surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that if there really were any hidden Demon Race strongholds in the "South Lake Mountains," then they were most likely located within the "South Lake."

This was an unexpected, yet perfectly logical, answer.

Although the "South Lake Mountains" cover a vast area spanning tens of thousands of miles, it seems that only "South Lake" itself is truly a secluded place.

After all, no matter how secluded those mountains are, there will always be cultivators who risk exploring them in order to collect or find some hard-to-find resources and materials.

Moreover, the Bi Household army had previously swept through the "South Lake Mountains," and those mountain ranges were naturally key targets for the Bi Household army's sweep.

Only in this "South Lake" are many cultivators hesitant to venture into the South Lake because they are not skilled in underwater combat and are unsure about the conditions and safety of the area thousands of miles below.

Even the sweep by the Bi Household's army back then was limited in time, and it's unlikely they could thoroughly sweep through the depths of "South Lake".

Therefore, if there is a hidden stronghold of the Demon Race race in the "South Lake Mountains", it seems most reasonable that it is located in the "South Lake".

"I should have thought of this earlier and focused my exploration primarily on this ' South Lake '!"

Kong Wenxuan couldn't help but shake his head and give a helpless, bitter smile.

However, he did not believe that his pursuit of the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast over the past two years had been in vain.

Not to mention, even if he had a lot of speculation and confidence before truly locking onto "South Lake", it was impossible to completely exclude the "mountains" in "South Lake Mountains".

What if he's wrong?

Secondly, during the more than two years of pursuit, he also successfully recorded the map of the "South Lake Mountains" covering tens of thousands of square kilometers, and marked dozens of major danger points.

This map can serve as an important reference for the descendants of Kong Household when they explore and collect resources in the "South Lake Mountains".

This will also serve as an important basis for the future expansion of Peacock County.

Finally, he did not come away empty-handed during the two years of pursuit and battle. The Law Power in his Dantian and the Spiritual Consciousness in his Sea of Consciousness were honed, trained and increased. After more than two years of tempering, he can be said to have completely pushed his cultivation to the Peak Foundation Establishment.

If he were to break through to the Third Tier Purple Mansion Stage now and propel the "Peacock True Spirit Star" to the "Eighth-Grade True Spirit Heaven," his chances of success would be at least 50% greater than when he first broke through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage more than two years ago.

Moreover, after more than two years of pursuit, battles, and training, he also gained this surrendered Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast.

Each of these growths and gains is not something that can be easily achieved or obtained.

Therefore, Kong Wenxuan did not regret the pursuit and battle against the Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast over the past two years; on the contrary, he was quite satisfied with it. He even thought that in his future cultivation, after completing First Tier of cultivation, he could perhaps undergo such training.

Such tempering can truly hone his current cultivation and strength to the peak in the shortest amount of time, which will greatly benefit his subsequent breakthroughs and cultivation.

After a flurry of thoughts, Kong Wenxuan finally suppressed them all for the time being.

Whether it's about breaking through cultivation barriers or honing one's skills, those are matters for the future. Right now, the most important thing is the "South Lake" right in front of us.

He was already considering whether to report this to "Bifang Commandery" and have the Bi Household's army handle the situation at South Lake.

After all, this "South Lake" covers thousands of miles, and he had no idea what dangers it contained, or whether there were Third Tier or higher Demon Beast.

Kong Wenxuan dared not easily enter to investigate and search for the Demon Race's stronghold.

It would undoubtedly be safer to leave the matter to the more powerful Bi Household army.

However, although Kong Wenxuan was now 90% certain that the Demon Race's secret stronghold was in this "South Lake," he still hadn't seen the actual Demon Race stronghold, nor did he have direct evidence to prove that the Demon Race's stronghold was in this "South Lake"!

So, if he submits the report like this, will the Bifang Commandery approve it?

Besides, he was only 90% sure. What if he encountered that 10% chance of something going wrong and discovered that the Demon Race clan's stronghold wasn't in this "South Lake"?

Perhaps the Third Tier -Third Tier black tiger Demon Beast Demon Beast simply misunderstood him, or perhaps it deliberately led him to the wrong place?

Kong Wenxuan looked down at the Third Tier black tiger demon Demon Beast lying in front of him with its belly exposed. He decided that it was best to play it safe with this kind of Demon Beast that had no intelligence or spirit. He should first confirm that the Demon Race's stronghold was indeed in this "South Lake" before reporting to his superiors.

As for how to determine whether the Demon Race's stronghold was located in this "South Lake," Kong Wenxuan had some ideas in mind.

Instead of approaching "South Lake" rashly, he chose to retreat and leave first. Then he took out the "communication Jade Slip" to contact his clan and asked them to help him go to "Bifang Commandery City" to buy some things.
