Chapter 732: Chapter 545: A Son Never Schemes Against His Father_3

He’s nothing but a rake!

Zi Lan Fairy’s face also showed a touch of embarrassment. However, considering that when they first met, she had introduced herself and yet Daoist Shen had remained so calm, it seemed likely that he didn’t quite understand the East Dragon Palace.

After all, ignorance is no crime, and to voice a reminder would just seem petty.

"Not so peaceful?" Shen Yi put away the jade scales and glanced sideways with interest. He was only curious about this matter now.

Zi Lan Fairy hesitated for a moment before she began to explain what she knew, "I have already reported back to my elder, and we need to wait for her to send someone to resolve this issue. If Daoist Shen is not in a hurry, you can stay in Red Maple Valley to avoid being targeted by that demon... It’s quite peculiar, although very powerful, it seems to be starving to the point of not sparing even the corpses of Returned Void Cultivators."

"Understood."

Shen Yi nodded again.

As long as that demon was still alive, it was unlikely to target Red Maple Valley just once.

Seeing the two beside him pick up speed, he also took the opportunity to use the Dragon Leap Sky Mare technique, transforming into a purple and white long rainbow shooting towards the direction Zi Lan Fairy had indicated!

"..."

This time, even Zi Lan Fairy was stunned in place.

Yue Tiance clenched his teeth even more, pulling a face at Zi Lan and telepathically said, "Pretending not to know each other, but in the end, you’ve seen her bathing. Do we really need to bother with this liar?"

Zi Lan Fairy’s pretty face blushed slightly, waving her hand, "Can’t you say less? We didn’t have much interaction to begin with."

Having seen, however, was not that big a deal; after all, many in Hongze had seen her, and there were even shameless people who recorded it in paintings. Her dragon scales were like ordinary clothes for other girls, nothing that couldn’t be seen, it was just more annoying than anything else.

But just a moment ago she was thinking that Daoist Shen was unfamiliar with the East Dragon Palace, yet the next moment he pulled such a move – it felt almost like he was mocking her.

Zi Lan Fairy shook her head and continued toward Red Maple Valley.

Soon enough she landed within that vibrant red valley.

"You have returned." The Valley Master of Red Maple Valley, as if resigned to his fate, had already commanded his disciples and stewards to start refining the Jade Maple Elixir in full force, hoping to gather a thousand years’ worth of the elixir in one go.

He now could only hope that the Fairy Zi Lan would help explain the situation to the Overlord Sect of Yunhe when the time came.

"Prepare accommodations for these two," Zi Lan softly instructed.

"I understand." It was then that the Valley Master of Red Maple Valley noticed the two additional people. After quietly sizing them up for a moment, he moved his gaze from the youth in ink-black clothes to Yue Tiance, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

So, Fairy Zi Lan was starting to call in friends!

The man with horns on his head, along with the fine scales, reminded him vaguely of a powerful Great Demon from Northern Hong, a lineage known for producing a remarkable prodigy many millennia ago named Yue Tianji.

Before that senior from Southern Hong became famous throughout Hongze and dominated his peers, Yue Tianji was undeniably the premier prodigy of Hongze.

He even had the potential to lead his clan to a position matching the Northern Dragon Palace.

Unfortunately... It was rumored that Yue Tianji had been suppressed for tens of thousands of years and, with a heart full of gloom, he sought masters and the Dao tirelessly. His efforts were not only to enhance the purity of his bloodline but also to attempt to replicate the Myriad Laws mastered by the senior from Southern Hong.

After endless hard work and just as he felt he could reclaim the title of the foremost prodigy, that senior from Southern Hong met with an accident.

All of Yue Tianji’s years of effort suddenly had no place to be applied, and it was rumored his Dao Heart shattered, and nothing more was heard of him since.

Yet, this episode, while cutting off that clan’s chance to ascend further, did not affect their standing in Northern Hong in the least.

With the East Dragon Palace and the Yue Family in place, the Valley Master of Red Maple Valley didn’t believe that Bear Demon would dare to cause more trouble!

Moreover, regardless of background, just by sensing his aura, the Valley Master felt that this junior from the Yue Family was likely not much weaker than the Bear Demon.

As for that youth in the ink-black clothes, though his strength seemed much lower, he could still bolster their presence.

"Two esteemed guests, this way please."

The Valley Master of Red Maple Valley hastily called for several Elders and personally led the way in front.

...

Outside the chaotic and damp hiding place of the huge trees,

two figures suddenly dropped down; and as their forms became visible, they were unmistakably a tall and a short Bear Demon, both robust in build.

"Dad, did you eat humans again?" The slightly shorter Bear Demon sniffed and looked over somewhat helplessly, "Even if you eat those cultivators from Red Maple Valley, it won’t do you any good, and it might just cause the nearby powers to distrust us."

To be honest, if Dad hadn’t eaten those cultivator corpses back then and just set up the six people outside Red Maple Valley, this matter would have been resolved long ago.

By doing such a thing, wasn’t it just a clear signal to that group of cultivators that after you finish your work, not a single one of you will escape?

"Since when does your father need your lip?"

The tall Bear Demon bared his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment, "Qi Zhaoyu is an ungrateful bastard, he knew I was just a step away from breaking through, promised things and then cut off all communication, isn’t that just trying to control me!"

"The Dragon Lord is probably worried that Dad won’t listen to him after you break through. I heard he went to Southern Hong, he must be planning something big... Actually, there’s no need to rush, he still needs us, and after giving us those Heaven and Earth Treasures for tens of thousands of years, how could he bear to waste all that effort."

The slightly shorter Bear Demon spoke softly, trying to console, "At least the situation now is better than when we were being hunted in Northern Hong back then."

"Better my ass!" The tall Bear Demon spat, "We’re still hiding in a place like this, and have been for tens of thousands of years. I don’t believe that without the Western Dragon Palace, I can’t break through this realm."

"Dad, what about the Fairy Zi Lan?" As the conversation got more absurd, the slightly shorter Bear Demon quickly changed the subject.

Upon mentioning her, the mighty Bear Demon’s face also showed difficulty; it had ignored the Dragon Maiden before not because it wasn’t afraid of the East Dragon Palace, but simply because it didn’t know how to deal with the situation.

It definitely wanted the Jade Maple Elixir, but to negotiate terms with Fairy Zi Lan... if the Dragon Lord found out, he’d surely skin him alive.

The arrangement was for them to collaborate against the Dragon Consort of Mount Yu, and now, before the job was done, they were already getting chummy with the East Dragon Palace, practically writing the intention to defect on their faces.

Even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn’t wash them clean.

So, they could only ignore Fairy Zi Lan... when that woman inexplicably intervened to take a shot, it nearly scared him to death, but thankfully, she was powerful enough to catch it, or else it would have blown up into a huge issue.

Right at that moment, a third Bear Demon swept in like black wind and landed with a grave expression, "Dad, she has invited two more over, it looks like she means business this time."

The tall Bear Demon gritted his teeth and immediately strode into the cave dwelling.

Following that, he saw the cave dwelling turned upside down, "Damn it, I nearly forgot that stinking woman has the ability to track and hunt demons, what a nuisance! Can she really handle all the trivial matters of Hongze? She’s really a beast!"

Upon hearing this, the third Bear Demon’s eyes swiveled, and it stepped forward to speak softly, "Dad, actually, it’s not difficult to force her to leave. The temperament of the Purple-Bearded White Dragon is well known; we just need to kidnap one of her helpers, leave a letter explaining that we mean no harm, and as long as she is willing to back off, once she leaves this place, we will release the person."

"Do you think she’ll believe that?" the tall Bear Demon looked disdainful.

"I don’t know if she will believe it, but she definitely won’t want to trouble her friends. Dad, you really don’t understand Fairy Zi Lan well enough," the third Bear Demon said with a smile, lowering its voice, "As for settling scores later... The Dragon Lord is definitely planning to make a move, and by then, we will be long gone to Southern Hong, and you will have successfully broken through, why fear her then."

"As for who to kidnap... among those she invited for help today, there’s one with mediocre cultivation," it went on, conjuring a letter with its demonic energy. "Dad only needs to take care of the kidnapping; just leave this letter on the table, and within three days, she will surely leave."

Listening to the other’s emphatic words, the tall Bear Demon was also moved; this son of his wouldn’t betray him.

Besides, there was no other way, so might as well give it a damn try.

As long as Red Maple Valley bowed down, all the powers, big and small, near the Yunhe Sect would have to send their tributes obediently.

If he could successfully break through and become a Great Demon comparable to those of Union Dao, he wouldn’t even need to accompany the Dragon Lord on risky ventures anymore, and would be free as the sky is high and the sea is vast for the fish to swim.

Deciding this, he turned and walked out of the cave dwelling, snarling, "It’s settled then."
