Chapter 733: Chapter 547: The Third Union Dao Realm Town Stone

The night was deep.

Within a courtyard in Red Maple Valley.

Fairy Zi Lan and Yue Tiance sat facing each other across the table, with the Valley Master and several Elders quietly waiting by their side.

It was not that the identities of people from the East Dragon Palace were so esteemed that even the servants they sent had to be powerful Elders, but now, in Red Maple Valley, compared to the disciples busy concocting elixirs, these cultivators with the strongest cultivation were, in fact, much more dangerous.

That’s why Fairy Zi Lan had called them over, claiming it was just for idle chat. In truth, it was just that she couldn’t relax her concern.

"Didn’t you go to inform Daoist Shen?"

The downside of being kind-hearted was that it easily brought trouble, but the upside was that, having been through so much trouble, she could maintain a calm demeanor no matter what situation faced her.

This lady clad in a purple gown, even with serious injuries, spoke softly and gently throughout, never once losing her temper. If not for her strikingly delicate features and her formidable cultivation, it would have been hard to tell she was a Dragon Maiden, adored by a top-tier power.

"To report back to Fairy, I have already visited Senior Shen’s residence to invite him, but he declined," the Valley Master hurriedly approached, speaking frankly. Among the three, that cultivator in ink-colored clothing might seem the weakest, but when it came to character, he was even more proud than those young masters and misses from the Yue Family and the East Dragon Palace. Since entering the valley, he has almost always kept to himself, seldom speaking with others.

"I see..." Fairy Zi Lan’s voice faltered a bit, seemingly a little headachy. "And the young girl?"

Daoist Shen’s strength was respectable, daring to venture alone in Western Hong; he must have had ways to ensure his own survival. Not wanting to be protected by others was normal; even if he did encounter the Bear Demon, as long as they were within Red Maple Valley, she and the others would surely notice and could rush over when necessary.

However, it was safer for the young girl to stay close to herself and Yue Tiance.

"I didn’t see her." The Valley Master gave a wry smile. One reason he felt Senior Shen was so proud was that he couldn’t even enter the door and was turned away from outside.

"It’s fine." Yue Tiance, almost instinctively wanting to make a snide remark, looked at Fairy Zi Lan and tempered his tone somewhat, "I understand your soft heart, but everyone has their own fate. Can you protect others for a lifetime? Just let it be."

Besides, he didn’t think the boy was worth befriending.

"If I see them, I’ll look after them, if not, so be it. Don’t worry, I will handle everything as quickly as possible," Fairy Zi Lan softly explained, after all, the other party had important matters at hand and had been delayed because of her.

"I’ve already sent word to the Yunhe Sect to ask their ancestors to come and guard for a while. When aunt sends people over, things should be just about settled."

In these lands and waters of Western Hong, there were surely few things that the Dragon Consort of Mount Yu couldn’t solve.

"Alright, I’m going to wash up. You keep watch for me for a while," said Fairy Zi Lan as she stood up.

It was well known that the Purple-Bearded White Dragon was a stickler for cleanliness; otherwise, he wouldn’t have left so many "Fairy Zi Lan Bathing Pictures" in Hongze. Having borne her injuries for several days since they first appeared, her patience up to now was quite extraordinary.

"Rest assured," Yue Tiance said with a warm smile.

Honestly, he had no interest in these trivial matters; even if Western Hong were slaughtered top to bottom, it wouldn’t concern the Yue Family of Northern Hong.

But he had to maintain this appearance of a righteous heart in front of Zi Lan to keep their relatively good relationship, and potentially to progress further.

"This way please, Fairy. The hot springs behind the valley may not compare to Eastern Hong, but they are still quite the beautiful scene," urged the Valley Master, promptly turning to lead the way.

"I’ll go by myself."

Fairy Zi Lan slightly nodded, declining the offer of kindness, and then stepped out of the courtyard.

She stretched her body a little, ready to reveal her true form, but suddenly hesitated and drew back her arms, looking in another direction.

Still a bit worried after all. Should she go and take another look?

With this thought, she subtly changed direction, not towards the back of the valley, but towards Shen Yi’s residence.

...

In another courtyard of Red Maple Valley.

Shen Yi sat cross-legged in his room, as streams of Demon Souls converged from all directions.

Given his nature, of course, he wouldn’t rely solely on the hope of Demons willingly running into his lap. Whether it would be of any use or not, actively seeking them out was better than sitting idly by.

Unfortunately, he was not familiar with Western Hong and, up to now, had found nothing.

"Hmph."

Shen Yi opened his eyes again, and just then, he saw An Yi, unusually, tugging at his sleeve, prompting him to glance sideways, "Hmm?"

The little one remained silent, simply pointing outside.

It was clear that her slacking was limited to situations where Shen Yi was not threatened. Whenever she sensed the slightest mishap, she would faithfully act as a good Town Stone.

Following An Yi’s cue, a sinister laugh began echoing in Shen Yi’s mind.

"With such limited cultivation, you dare to meddle in everything. Do you really think you have the East Dragon Palace to clean up your mess?"

The words were barely finished when a fierce wind suddenly arose, sweeping Shen Yi violently into its grasp!

The Black Bear Demon had long been prepared to face the cultivator’s desperate counterattack. It could sense that this youth in black was much stronger than the rabble of Red Maple Valley, and with people from the East Dragon Palace nearby, it did not let its guard down even with a significant boundary difference.

What surprised the Bear Demon, however, was that Shen Yi seemed to be scared stiff, not only failing to bring out a Dao Soldier or Magic Treasures but not even showing a flicker of expression on his face as he was easily encapsulated by the black wind.
