Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons
Chapter 730 - 545: A Son Will Never Set Up His Father

Chapter 730: Chapter 545: A Son Will Never Set Up His Father

Rugged piles of shattered stones and uncivilized, disorderly growth of massive trees merged to create a damp and gloomy hiding place.

The swirling black clouds enveloped the figures of two people.

Yue Tiance frowned as he looked down, then turned his gaze slightly, "Didn’t you make a mistake? Is this the lair of a Great Demon that can injure you?"

Any Demon Race with some Cultivation would hardly stoop to dwell in such a crude place.

Fairy Zi Lan pondered for a moment and closed her eyes to feel her surroundings.

Upon opening them again, a trace of worry appeared in her eyes.

Based on the intense aura, it was clear the Bear Demon wasn’t here due to some accident, such as being chased, but had instead taken refuge here temporarily.

The other party had resided here for many years.

Such a powerful Great Demon, without any forces under its command — what did it eat or drink? How did it maintain the peak of its demonic power...could it depend solely on meditation and breathing?

"I’ll go in and take a look, you stay outside and back me up."

Fairy Zi Lan took the lead in stepping forward.

The Black Cloud Divine Skill of Yue Tiance could even avoid the detection of ones in the Unity Realm Stage. Otherwise, his clan wouldn’t have felt secure letting him alone stray from Northern Hong to search for his elder brother.

"..."

Yue Tiance extended his hand, intending to suggest going in himself, but considering the character of the Purple-Bearded White Dragon Race, he quietly withdrew his hand.

This was actually why he was so infatuated with Zi Lan.

The heaven and earth granted the Purple-Bearded White Dragon an exceptionally sharp perception, allowing them to easily discern the emotional fluctuations of others. If used in interactions, they could be described as unbeatable.

Hardly anyone could refuse a being that fully understood them.

Not to mention himself, even many years ago, Xuan Qing, who was indifferent and ruthless towards emotions, was equally ensnared by another Purple-Bearded White Dragon.

But for the White Dragon themselves, perceiving too much wasn’t always a good thing.

The sorrows and hardships of the mortal world, which others could easily turn a blind eye to, were ceaseless torments for those White Dragons with empathetic hearts.

Rather than saying they were saving the common people, it was more about comforting themselves.

"Don’t worry, although it does not give face to the East Dragon Palace, it didn’t intend to hurt me, probably thought it wasn’t worth the trouble."

Fairy Zi Lan softly reassured, she wasn’t a fool, she clearly saw that a few days ago the Bear Demon recognized her, yet definitely had no intention of completely falling out with the East Dragon Palace.

With that said, she gradually descended towards that damp place.

As she neared the cave, Zi Lan became increasingly cautious in her movements.

She silently tread over the muddy logs, fully sensing everything inside, suddenly her step faltered... the cave was empty, the Bear Demon was not here at this moment.

Instead, Zi Lan sensed another presence.

Under the veil of black clouds, she glanced sideways and saw a tall figure in a dark robe in the distance.

A young Cultivator stood there with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, quietly standing at the cave entrance, gazing out at the sky.

Zi Lan’s gaze fell on the petite girl behind him, inadvertently furrowing her delicate brows.

With the acute perception of the White Dragon, even ones in the Unity Realm Stage couldn’t completely hide their Cultivation from her.

The girl had no aura at all, simply an ordinary person, yet it was unclear what torment she had suffered, for her heart seemed utterly desolate.

How could someone bring such a young girl to the lair of a Great Demon?

With this thought in mind, Zi Lan revisited her scrutiny of the young man, then paused again in astonishment.

Despite her initial prejudice, she still couldn’t sense any obvious malice from this person. Clearly, he wasn’t exactly a good person since the scent of blood on his body was too strong!

Besides, although he was tainted with the aura of the Bear Demon, it evidently happened just recently, indicating he was not in cahoots with the master of this cave.

Odd...

Zi Lan hesitated for a moment, then swiftly moved to position herself between the two strangers, revealing herself while greeting with clasped hands, "I apologize for the disturbance, fellow Daoist. I am Zi Lan from the East Dragon Palace. May I know what brings you to this Demon’s lair?"

"..."

Shen Yi and An Yi both fell into silence.

In the instant of the black cloud’s attack, the little girl instinctively transformed her palm into a claw. Were it not for Zi Lan exposing her unguarded back to her, by now that tender little hand might have already pierced her chest.

Shen Yi was also somewhat amazed.

It had always been him, relying on the mysterious Breath Concealment Technique of Town Stone for stealth attacks. It had been a long time since someone had come so close without him noticing.

What puzzled him more was why this woman had lingered for so long, then suddenly approached to be subdued by An Yi.

And, if he hadn’t misheard earlier, did she mention the East Dragon Palace?

A wild Purple-Bearded White Dragon... Shen Yi instinctively scanned around.

"Fellow Daoist, don’t misunderstand, the one outside is just my companion, merely backing me up with no ill intentions."

Catching the young man’s glance and the sudden surge of killing intent, Zi Lan quickly spoke up to clear the misunderstanding.

As soon as the words left her mouth, the young man’s hostility quickly vanished as if it had never been there.

Zi Lan was somewhat taken aback; this person dared to wander in Western Hong, yet was so easily trusting of others?

"Phew."

Shen Yi silently sighed, followed the news from Wanxiang Pavilion, yet it turned out to be a false lead.
