“In other words, there are other experts or factions behind him?”

Xuan Qinghe shrunk its neck and its thick tortoise feet started moving. Two grass demons standing next to it could not dodge in time and were slapped into the ground.

However, at this moment, Xuan Qinghe was not paying attention at all and did not notice the screams of the two grass demons.

!!

“That’s not right. The strength that Xia Donghai displayed just now has definitely already reached the level of a demon king. What other faction can command him by now?”

“Can it be that Xia Donghai is backed by the Demon Divine Palace? But if it’s the Demon Divine Palace, then he shouldn’t have any conflict with the Holy Son…”

In a flash, Xuan Qinghe had already thought of many connections.

However, the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. To be able to nurture an existence like Feng Xia, there was no doubt that this faction was not simple.

However, if not for Feng Xia’s sudden rise to power, no one would have known of its existence.

Why was such a faction completely unknown previously?

“Or can it be that all along, this faction has deliberately concealed its existence and did not want to show its divinity in front of others. It only truly stepped into the mortal world when this great era arrived?”

This scenario was actually not too difficult for Xuan Qinghe to accept.

After all, it came from the Yuanqing River Black Tortoise Clan. In a sense, it could be considered to be a small semi-hidden faction. They hid at the bottom of Yuanqing River all year round and watched the people coming and going as the tides rose and fell. They were like invisible bystanders observing the changes of everything happening on the shore.

It was also for this reason that it knew so many secrets.

“Perhaps I should find a time to interact with him…”

At the same time, when they heard Feng Xia’s answer, many demon beasts heaved a sigh of relief.

As long as he did not ask them to commit suicide on the spot!

They were not like Shuang Xueming and did not have the courage to commit suicide there and then. Since they had already survived Feng Xia’s attack, there was no reason for them to deliberately seek death.

However, immediately after, they saw the white-robed young man, who had just killed their Holy Son, struck a pose on the Heavenly Stairway.

A bad feeling immediately surfaced in all the demons’ hearts.

Looking at this pose, could this guy be trying to…

As they expected, Feng Xia said with a faint smile.

“Since ancient times, natural treasures and divine weapons have all belonged to virtuous people.”

Although the thoughts of most demon beasts were not as complicated and petty as humans, the moment they heard Feng Xia’s words, many demon beasts immediately reacted to it and cursed in their hearts.

What virtue do you have!

At this moment, Feng Xia continued, “So, I think this Heavenly Stairway is a good treasure. Does anyone have any objections if it belongs to me now?”

Many demon beasts looked at one another and shook their heads in unison.

What objections could they raise?

How would they dare to have any objections?!

“Then from today onwards, the Heavenly Stairway will implement a fee system.”

Feng Xia’s next sentence was like a heavy bomb falling from the sky. It shocked all the demon beasts and stunned them. What exactly did they hear?

Not only did this vicious demon want to take the Heavenly Stairway for himself, but he also wanted to set up a checkpoint at the Heavenly Stairway. Anyone who wanted to set foot on the Heavenly Stairway had to pay a sufficient price to Feng Xia!

It was simply… too inhumane!

“Who supports and who opposes?”

Feng Xia smiled faintly. When no one answered, he said leisurely, “If no one objects, then this rule will be implemented with immediate effect.”

Swoosh—

As soon as Feng Xia finished speaking, streams of light flew out of his palm and quickly condensed in front of the Heavenly Stairway, finally turning into a beautiful door.

More spiritual energy of the world gathered and formed a bright plaque on top.

There were two words on it.

Toll booth.

“The fee is based on the cultivation level of the cultivator passing through. It’s between one to five Spirit Breaking Talismans, or you can use treasures of equivalent value.”

After a while, he waved his hand. The tool fox, Bai Xiao, immediately flew up with a shocked yell and landed steadily in the middle of the door. “Young… young master?!”

She let out a soft cry.

Then, she heard Feng Xia’s voice being transmitted to her using magical power. “Bai Xiao, you’ll stand guard here. Those who want to ascend the Heavenly Stairway must pay a toll to you. If you choose to accept a treasure as payment, you can decide on the value on your own.”

Collecting money!

Treasures!

The demon fox Bai Xiao’s eyes lit up.

She hurriedly nodded and said, “I promise to complete the young master’s mission!”

She loved doing such things!

“With so many demon beasts here, other than those who can’t pay the toll, the rest will definitely choose to climb the Heavenly Stairway if they have the chance. As long as young master is around, who dares to not pay the toll? Not even the children of a demon king would dare to do that!”

Bai Xiao instinctively rubbed her claws and her eyes curved into crescent moons.

“As expected, to know how to do such a good deal, the young master’s true form must be a fox! I wonder what method he used to hide his tail so well…”

Bai Xiao’s charming eyes were sparkling as her gaze swept across Feng Xia’s back, as if she was looking for a big tail invisible to the naked eye.

However, at this moment, the spider girl beside Feng Xia seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned around to look at her. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up imperceptibly.

Bai Xiao’s expression darkened.

She had almost forgotten that there was still someone blocking the way between her and the young master!

“Pfft! Little hussy!”

Bai Xiao could not help but curse in her heart.

However, very quickly, she looked down at the sea of demon beasts and her face lit up with joy again. “With so many fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered… I will definitely be able to make a lot of money! At that time, the young master will definitely see me in a different light. This way, it’s not like I don’t have a chance…”

The demon fox, Bai Xiao, happily thought about the future. Feng Xia sat down not far away with a smile and meditated.

The previous battle was not long, but it was extremely dangerous, especially since he had to refine an Immortal Golden Core. There were still many mysteries that he needed to comprehend carefully.

“There’s no hurry. Although I can enter and exit the Heavenly Stairway freely, the current divine light of the Heavenly Stairway does not have the effect of providing 10 years in a dream. I still have to wait for another three days.”

Just as he was pondering, Feng Xia suddenly had an idea. “Speaking of which, I think I’ve seen something like this before…”

Three days passed in a flash.

The silent group of demon beasts suddenly started moving. There were demon beasts who left. They either did not have Spirit Breaking Talismans or were unwilling to pay the toll. A few of the remaining demon beasts rushed forward.

They quickly arrived at the entrance of the toll booth and did not dare to dwindle at all. They quickly paid the toll according to their cultivation and stepped through the door.

At this moment, Feng Xia suddenly flicked his finger and one of the figures immediately let out a miserable cry. Its body flew backward and landed outside the Heavenly Stairway with a bang.

“Xia, Xia Donghai! Why?!” the demon beast shouted indignantly. “I’ve already paid the toll!”

“Then pay again.”

Feng Xia said with a grin.
