Seeing the small mountain village below, Ming Tianbei was immediately shocked.
"The boundless Cangli Mountain Range has already been destroyed, yet how could this small village remain unharmed?”
"Moreover, just by observing from afar, there’s a sense of mystery and unpredictability!”
He pondered in his heart, somewhat hesitant.
"Go down, hide in the village.”
On his back, the little girl spoke, saying,
“He’s almost upon us!”
Thinking of the pursuers behind him, Ming Tianbei could only grit his teeth and say,
“Fine!”
He hurriedly descended towards the small village!At this moment.
On the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range, two middle-aged men dressed in linen were gradually approaching.
"According to the information we have gathered, that so-called expert from the Southern Territory is hiding in that small village ahead!”
Wang Chuan spoke, his expression solemn, saying,
“We cannot approach rashly; if indeed a demon cultivator is hiding within, it is more likely we will encounter misfortune than fortune…”
These two men were, indeed, two True Immortals who had come to the Southern Territory from the Xuanhuang Mist Sea of the Xuantian Realm!
—Ever since the battle at Taiyan Holy Land, news of an extraordinary person hiding on the outskirts of the Cangli Mountain Range had spread amongst the upper echelons in the Xuantian Realm; upon their arrival in the Southern Territory, they quickly inquired about it.
The leading Yu Chenbing had a cold look in his eyes as he said,
“We must get closer to take a look!”
"As long as we can confirm that he who is hidden here is that demon cultivator, then everything else will be easy to handle!”
The two men approached slowly.
"Eh? What is that?!”
Suddenly, Wang Chuan exclaimed in surprise.
Both men immediately stopped.
Yu Chenbing looked up and saw above the small village in the distance, dark mist billowing, and demonic Qi surging!
Even from afar, they could feel the terrifying demonic might, causing their very souls to tremble!
"No… Could it truly be, truly be the Demon Race?!”
Wang Chuan was shocked.
"From afar, this demon cultivator’s cultivation level seems far above that of a True Immortal, and even… surpassing a Profound Immortal?!”
Yu Chenbing’s face also became grave!
The two did not dare to approach but could only watch from a distance as the dark mist gradually descended, seeming to have entered the small village.
"This time, we can be certain, Demon Cultivator Ming Tianbei is indeed hiding here!”
"Let’s go!”
Without any hesitation, Yu Chenbing turned and left!
They had obtained the information they were seeking; there was no point in staying any longer.
Inside the small mountain village.
Ming Tianbei, carrying the little girl on his back, ran swiftly towards the front!
When he landed in this small village, he found to his dismay that his demonic power was greatly suppressed, so much so that he couldn’t even take flight!
He was at the strength level of the Xuanmo Realm!
To be suppressed to such an extent, this place could almost compare to some forbidden regions in the Immortal Domain, right?
What exactly was here?
But he had no time to think further.
The young man behind him was still in pursuit!
After the young man landed, his speed too could not increase anymore.
"What kind of place is this… Why is it so strange?”
Can Ge’s face was a mix of surprise and uncertainty, hesitating whether or not to follow inside.
But as he hesitated, the front-running Ming Tianbei had already carried the little girl and disappeared out of sight!
"No matter, I must take back the Demon Monarch’s Primeval Soul!”
He clenched his teeth and followed suit!
One after the other, they ran at top speed through the village.
Not long after, a small courtyard suddenly appeared before Ming Tianbei’s eyes!
"Stop!”
The little girl suddenly spoke urgently.
"This… What kind of courtyard is this? Heaven, I can clearly see the aura of the Immortal Path swirling like a vast sea, with the sounds of Dao subtly circulating…”
Ming Tianbei murmured while desperation flashed in his eyes.
"Demon Monarch… the one living in seclusion here appears to be a formidable entity from the Immortal Realm!”
"We’ve blundered into the line of fire…”
He spoke sadly!
—The Demon Race, bom in the Demon Domain, has always been incompatible with the Immortal Domain!
In the last few epochs, both sides have even battled frequently across the Taboo Sea Area that separates the two realms!
And now, the Demon Monarch’s Primeval Soul has collided with a powerful being of the Immortal Realm…
We’re definitely doomed!
However, the little girl thought for a moment and then said,
“Let’s go in!”
"It’s not wise, Demon Monarch, this is the residence of a great Immortal Realm power…”
Ming Tianbei said.
But the little girl jumped down from his back and said,
“How could such a distinguished individual exist in the tiny Xuantian Realm? Perhaps, he’s been waiting for me, who knows!”
After speaking, she walked up and knocked on the door, calling out,
“Is anyone there?”
"Demon Monarch…”
Ming Tianbei wanted to come forward, but after taking just one step, he discovered that a terrifying presence instantly suppressed him!
His entire strength of the Xuanmo Realm was suppressed at that moment!
He was reduced to the level of a mere mortal!
His expression turned to one of extreme shock; this small courtyard was terrifyingly powerful, such that merely stepping forward…
He even suspected that if he took another step, he would be reduced to ashes!
But why could the Demon Monarch approach?
Right, the Demon Monarch had just awakened and was in the
“Spiritual Sprout” state; in a sense, she was not really a demon cultivator yet!
Inside the small courtyard.
Li Fan had nothing particular to do. While sipping his tea, he was giving instructions to a few disciples when he suddenly heard the sound of knocking.
"Nan Feng, go see who it is.”
Li Fan said.
Nan Feng immediately went to the door and opened it to find a little girl standing outside, appearing somewhat timid.
The little girl was dressed in rough cloth, her complexion rather pale.
"Little sister, who are you? What brings you here?”
Nan Feng asked curiously.
"Sister, there are bad people chasing us… My uncle and I are fleeing for our lives, those bad people want to kill us,”
The little girl said fearfully.
Nan Feng felt moved upon hearing this, she looked outside and saw a bald man, sweating profusely, struggling to look this way!
Now an Immortal, Nan Feng could tell that the bald man was a cultivator, and that his aura was exceedingly extraordinary!
"Little sister, come inside with me first!”
She immediately scooped up the little girl and walked into the courtyard.
As they entered the courtyard, the little girl’s large eyes flashed with a trace of terror.
The note on the Pantao Tree drooped slightly.
The hen pecking at the ground briefly looked up.
The carp in the pond flicked its tail.
The little girl paused for a moment, and then her large eyes welled up with tears, and she immediately burst into tears!
"Wu wu… I didn’t mean to barge in… I’m not a bad person, please… I’m scared…”
Muttering, she looked around the courtyard in panic…
What place is this exactly…
Why are there so many terrifying beings, each one stronger than the last!
She was genuinely scared!
At that moment, Li Fan finally spoke up,
“Nan Feng, what’s going on?”
At the sound of this voice, the little girl immediately felt the fear of being watched by unknown terrifying beings vanish; she wiped her tears and looked over to see a young man sitting at the stone table.
Is this the master of this place?
Curiosity immediately filled her tearful big eyes!
So young, yet able to command such terrifying followers…
Unimaginable!
She thought perhaps this was an ancient figure of immense power…
Nan Feng said,
“Master, this little girl knocked on the door, claiming someone was trying to kill her and her uncle… Seeing that she was just a mortal, I brought her in.”
Having said this, he set the little girl down.
Li Fan glanced at the little girl upon hearing this.
Dressed in coarse cloth, yet her skin was tender and delicate!
This indicated that her appearance was deliberately crafted, a disguise!
Pale skin suggested she was ill!
Plus, she was being pursued.
Li Fan instantly thought that perhaps this little girl was some rich family’s daughter, who could only disguise herself and flee from her family’s enemies due to some incident at home!
That’s how it’s written in novels, right!
However, regardless of who this little girl was, he had to save her first. Saving a life was more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda!
"She is no ordinary person.”
Li Fan said calmly,
“But, since she has entered, let her stay for now.”
At these words, the little girl was shocked. Sure enough, an ancient figure beyond imagination had seen through her identity…
But, it seemed he did not care about who she was… and he seemed quite amiable!
Her big eyes blinked and she suddenly stepped forward coyly, saying,
“Thank you… senior.”
"No need to call me senior, just call me Big Brother,” Li Fan said with a smile, looking towards Nan Feng,
“What about her uncle?”
Nan Feng said,
“Her uncle is no ordinary person… He did not dare to enter!”
Upon hearing this, Li Fan immediately understood; that so-called uncle must mostly be some sort of bodyguard for the little girl!
It was better to not let such people in and disturb the tranquility of the courtyard.
Li Fan nodded,
“Let him leave for now. As for those pursuers, if they come, this place will give them more than they bargained for.”
With the likes of Long Zixuan, Lu Rang, Dugu Yuqing, and Qing Chen – four men – in this little courtyard, was there fear of trouble?
Even a group fight wouldn’t be a concern.
Moreover, in this small mountain village, Li Fan was confident in the rapport he had with his people. In a crisis, with just one shout from him, people of all ages would grab their tools to help!
That was the foundation of his confidence.
Nan Feng, upon hearing this, responded with a yes and was about to leave when the little girl tugged at her hand and said,
“Sister, I will come with you. I still have something to say to Uncle.”
"Alright then.”
Nan Feng, accompanied by the little girl, walked to the door and said,
“My master commands you to leave for now.”
Outside the small courtyard, upon hearing these words, Ming Tianbei’s face suddenly turned very ugly. How could he leave the Demon Monarch?
After all, the Demon Monarch’s primeval soul still needed protection!
However, the little girl had already spoken, saying,
“Uncle, you should find somewhere to hide for a while. The elders here will protect me… This is the safest place!”
Ming Tianbei was shocked!
Who exactly was residing here, to be able to make the Demon Monarch… call them an elder!?
The one living here must be a giant from the Immortal Domain!
And, it seemed that the Demon Monarch’s intention was for him to leave first…
He dared not disobey and immediately said,
“As you command!”
After saying this, he turned and left, quickly disappearing from sight.
Nan Feng closed the door.
Soon after, outside the small courtyard.
The bald young man holding a black demon bottle finally appeared here.
"The aura of the primeval soul reached this place…”
The young man looked toward the small courtyard ahead and was greatly shaken.
"Wu’erXianting!”
These four characters were like the Heavenly Dao, imposing and profound!
The whole courtyard seemed like a vast world unto itself!
"How is this possible… What place is this? Could it be… Could it be the residence of a powerful Immortal Domain expert?!”
He muttered to himself, deep in thought, when suddenly a chill flashed in his eyes as he said,
“I understand now, the Gong Ya Demon Marshal lineage has colluded with the Immortal Domain!”
"How despicable!
I want to see who dares to snatch someone from the hands of Jing Mie Demon Marshal!”
He took a step forward.
Pressure like a mountain!
He could hardly take another step!
Can Ge’s face changed drastically. How could this be… After all, he was a peak Xuanmo Realm cultivator.
What place was this, really?
But then, rage surged in his face!
"No… I have the demon bottle bestowed by the Demon Marshal, who can stop me?! Who can stop me!”
He roared, stimulating the power contained within the demon bottle!
A wisp of demonic qi was released.
But, it was just in that instant, a surge of qi emerged from the four characters
“Wu’erXianting”!
"Pfft—”
The bald young man suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood and knelt on the ground!
The demon bottle in his hand… had shattered directly!
Ming Tianbei walked briskly away from the small courtyard, but he still hesitated!
"No, the people of Jing Mie Demon Marshal, holding the demon bottle, possess great power. Besides, that mysterious entity is oblivious. I should go back and take a look!”
Unable to resist, he turned and ran back.
After a short while, he returned to the front of the small courtyard and upon seeing what was before him, was instantly dumbfounded!
