The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1212

Chapter 1212: Chapter 1209: Confrontation Chapter 1212: Chapter 1209: Confrontation After a long time, the group of little demons had already returned to the cave entrance, yet there was still no sign of Fu Donglai.

Shen Luo was getting a bit anxious and was hesitating whether to enter the cave to investigate when he suddenly heard a booming sound coming from inside the great hall.

Immediately afterwards, a trail of fire shot up to the sky, instantly blowing the buildings outside the Xuan Yang Cave to pieces.

Amidst the debris filling the air, Fu Donglai leapt towards the ground, and seeing this, not a single one of the little demons dared to step forward to block his path.

After landing, Fu Donglai, without the slightest hesitation, leaped up and escaped into the dense forest nearby.

Only then did Shen Luo notice that under Fu Donglai's right armpit, there was surprisingly a young child who appeared to be only seven or eight years old.

“What's going on here?”

Before Shen Luo could make sense of the situation, from the shattered great hall, seven or eight figures burst out one after another, pursuing and attempting to kill Fu Donglai.

The cultivation levels of these individuals were all at the Mahayana Stage or higher, with most being in the early and middle stages, and only one in the Late Mahayana Stage–a burly man with fiery red long hair.

This man was tall and muscular, wore a colorful tiger skin short skirt on his lower body, and his upper body was completely bare, his muscles as sharply defined as if chiselled, exuding an explosive sense of power.

Fu Donglai was extremely fast, turning into the Xun Wind as he sped through the mountain forest.

Of the group of demons, only the red-haired man could essentially keep up with Fu Donglai's pace, while the rest were merely trailing far behind, ensuring they didn't fall too far back but still completely unable to catch up with the two leading figures.

Observing the situation, Shen Luo didn't rush to follow immediately but stayed back and waited for a moment.

He wanted to see if there were any others hidden and yet to reveal themselves.

After waiting for some time and finally confirming that no others were forthcoming, Shen Luo began to swiftly move between the trees using the Slanting Moon Steps, catching up to those people and playing the role of the opportunist lying in wait.

However, after chasing for a while, Shen Luo started to feel annoyed.

He discovered that Fu Donglai's escaping speed was much faster than he had anticipated, to the extent that the chasing demons could not keep up at all, becoming increasingly strung out and left behind.

Shen Luo looked at one of the solitary wild boar demons and his face showed a look of contemplation.

He was hesitating whether to take advantage of this opportunity to defeat each of the isolated demons one by one.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.

Fu Donglai knew he was nearby; logically, he should have tried to join forces with him to overcome these enemies. Instead, he chose to accelerate his escape, which was clearly contrary to common sense.

Unless, he felt these few individuals were too powerful, and even if both of them joined forces, they still had no assurance of victory.

Yet based on the current situation, apart from the red-haired demon, the other demons were not too strong; they didn't have the strength to fight.

Therefore, Fu Donglai's acceleration must be due to some other reason, such as the child he was holding under his armpit.

With this thought, Shen Luo gave up the idea of defeating the isolated demons one by one. He had to catch up with Fu Donglai as quickly as possible.

With a single thought, Shen Luo no longer hesitated; following the residual breath, he used the “Immortal Escape” technique and chased in the direction of Fu Donglai.

As a trail of escape light swiftly departed, Shen Luo's figure rapidly appeared above a valley.

He concealed his breath, looked down into the valley from the air, and saw a three-headed fire lion, over ten zhang tall, wrapped in red fire, arrogantly cornering Fu Donglai against the mountain wall at the bottom of the valley.

“So it's him.”

Shen Luo recognized that the three-headed fire lion was none other than Xiong Ran, who had falsely accused Fu Donglai of stealing the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle.

He was about to leap down to help, but suddenly heard Fu Donglai's voice transmission in his head, “Brother Shen, don't rush, I have some questions for him.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Luo quietly descended toward the valley but did not reveal himself.

In the valley.

Knowing that Shen Luo had arrived, Fu Donglai felt somewhat relieved.

He shielded the little demon with dark skin and a bony protuberance on the tip of its nose behind him, his gaze fixed on the three-headed fire lion.

“Xiong Ran, why did you frame me?” Fu Donglai asked.

The three-headed fire lion, thinking that Fu Donglai, who was nailed by the Soul-scattering Nails, wouldn't be able to cause much trouble, did not rush to kill him.

It was common knowledge at Lion Camel Ridge that he did not get along with Fu Donglai, so at the moment, he was enjoying the sensation of having Fu Donglai under his foot, toying with him as he pleased.

“Frame? Who framed you? The Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle was found in your Storage Ring; it was obviously you who stole it. Are you still refusing to confess? The three Great Kings were benevolent before and let you go, yet instead of being grateful, you dared to steal the Treasure Vase again?” Xiong Ran's fiery aura receded, and he reverted to his Human Race form.

People are often most careless when they feel triumphant.

Even so, in this situation, Xiong Ran still did not confess the truth, insisting that it was Fu Donglai who had taken the Yin-Yang Dual Qi Bottle.

This made Fu Donglai start to wonder if the three-headed fire lion really wasn't framing him on purpose.

At that moment, the little demon hiding behind him suddenly tugged at his sleeve and whispered, “I saw him, it was him…”

The words of the little demon were disjointed, and Fu Donglai didn't understand what he meant at first.

“I saw it in the cave, it was him who took the Treasure Vase guarded by my father, it was him who killed my father.” The little demon's eyes reddened, and he said somewhat agitatedly.

Unintentionally, his voice rose a few notches, so Xiong Ran heard it too.

“Little Devil, what are you talking about?” His brow furrowed, and he spoke with a ferocious gleam in his eye.

The little demon immediately shrank his neck in fright, hiding behind Fu Donglai.

“It was you who really stole the Treasure Vase, wasn't it?” Fu Donglai's expression also turned cold as he spoke through clenched teeth.

“Who can prove that? This milk-scented kid?” The three-headed fire lion sneered, retorting.

“What exactly are you trying to do?” Fu Donglai asked with a frown.

“You don't need to know, and you will never know. You've been hit by Soul-scattering Nails and should be thinking of how to save yourself, but you insist on getting involved in something you should never have been part of. I don't know how to describe you,” said Xiong Ran, shaking his head.

“Something I should never have been part of… so you're saying that you deliberately framed me because you saw that I was returning to the sect and it was just a spur-of-the-moment decision, but you actually had other plans?” Fu Donglai pondered aloud.

“I don't know whether to call you smart or stupid. The more you guess, the more determined I will be to kill you; you understand that, don't you?” Xiong Ran frowned as he spoke.

“It seems my guess is not wrong; you want to use this opportunity to create division in Lion Camel Ridge, and the one you really want to deal with is my Master, isn't it?” Fu Donglai, believing he had deduced the truth, accused angrily.

Xiong Ran simply curled his lips in a smile, remaining silent.

“Xiong Ran, listen to my advice, whatever you want to do, it's best to stop now,” Fu Donglai urged.
