The two of them discussed the situation in Dan Yun City in detail.
In half a year, Dan Yun City will hold its annual Pill auction, attracting many Nascent Soul cultivators.
Maybe, even items to overco the Heart Demon Tribulation might be found.
"The Valley of Ten Thousand Demons still needs my attention, so this trip will have to be made by you alone, Junior Brother," True Monarch Lan Ling said softly.
"Rest assured, Senior Sister, I will surely return safely," Xu Ping cupped his hands and saluted.
With his current strength, the probability of encountering danger in the nearby realms of the Great Xia Country was still very small.
...
Upon returning to Celestial Cyan Peak, for safety’s sake, Xu Ping decided to bring the Water Lake Rat along.
Several days later, a streak of azure light swept across the sky as Xu Ping and the Water Lake Rat quietly left the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons without alerting anyone.
Half a month later, one human and one rat had flown out of the Great Xia Country region.
Above the lush mountain range, Xu Ping rode a Spiritual Boat, the breeze gently caressing his face.
As Xu Ping contemplated the next steps and planned his activities in Dan Yun City, an odd feeling suddenly arose.
Sweeping with his Divine Sense, he sensed three powerful Nascent Soul fluctuations rapidly approaching, utterly unmasked, as if intentionally revealing their presence to Xu Ping.
This blatant release of energy was undoubtedly a provocation and a threat, causing Xu Ping’s brow to furrow tightly.
Xu Ping’s eyes slightly narrowed and turned to look, a fierce glint flashing through them.
"True Monarch Chixiao, a demonic True Monarch, and a... Fourth Rank Demon Monarch!"
"They co with ill intentions!"
Xu Ping imdiately recognized their identities, alarm bells ringing in his mind, yet outwardly he maintained calm and composure.
Since when did the Red Sand Sect get involved with these demonic old creatures?
At this mont, a hint of fear appeared on the Water Lake Rat’s face, and it hastily transmitted via Divine Sense, "Master, that Demon Monarch seems to be a Snake Demon, and its bloodline is extraordinary, suppressing ."
"Snake Demon?"
"Bloodline suppression?"
Xu Ping was startled, a heaviness flashing in his eyes.
Normally, Snake Demons naturally restrained Rat Demons.
But the Water Lake Rat had a mutated dual water-fire attribute bloodline, far surpassing ordinary Rat Demons, yet it was still suppressed, showing the extraordinary nature of the intruder’s bloodline and strength.
"Three of you, halt."
Xu Ping’s voice was ice-cold, with a wave of his sleeve, six Quasi-Fourth Rank Puppets instantly appeared around him.
He then ford a Spell, and the Puppet Array took shape in an instant, a pressure at the peak of Early-Stage Nascent Soul level suddenly spreading.
The two humans and one demon could not help but stop, each on guard.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, we’re all from the Great Xia Country, why are you so wary of us?"
True Monarch Chixiao, wearing a fiery red brocade robe, eyes as profound as an abyss, let out a aningful and peculiar laugh.
Xu Ping did not respond, his expression stern, his gaze sharp as a blade, sweeping over the three one by one.
Finally, he turned his eyes towards the demonic True Monarch and the Snake Demon Monarch.
The demonic True Monarch, clad in a black robe, had a sinister face and an eerie aura.
The Snake Demon Monarch, covered in azure scales with vertical pupils, exuded a bloodthirsty and powerful aura, already approaching the peak of Fourth Rank Lower Grade.
As the Snake Demon Monarch gazed at the Water Lake Rat, a flash of greed and desire appeared in its vertical pupils, as if it was looking at an exquisite delicacy, its mouth watering.
Its tongue occasionally flicked out, licking its lips, an action both strange and repulsive.
The Water Lake Rat grew even more fearful, instinctively hiding behind Xu Ping.
It felt that even if it used its Divine Power Seal, it probably wouldn’t be a match for this Snake Demon under the bloodline suppression.
Seeing this scene, Xu Ping’s face darkened, his eyes flashed with cold light, and the power of the Puppet Array surged to its peak.
"What business do the three of you have with ?" Xu Ping asked coldly, scanning the three.
"We just wanted to get closer to Fellow Daoist Yan, but it seems Fellow Daoist Yan has greatly misunderstood us,"
The demonic True Monarch smiled ominously, his voice as jarring as tal scraping, "So we shall not disturb Fellow Daoist Yan anymore. I wish Fellow Daoist Yan a safe journey to Dan Yun City."
Having said that, the two humans and one demon transford into several Escape Lights and vanished into the horizon.
Their departure seed almost too urgent, as if they truly intended only to greet him.
But Xu Ping knew that these three suddenly blocking his path clearly ca with malicious intent.
Xu Ping coldly watched their disappearing direction, a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
They didn’t attack him, probably because they weren’t confident.
"Master, I feel that Snake Demon wanted to eat ," the Water Lake Rat beside him still had traces of fear on its face.
"Eat you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ping frowned, a hint of thought in his eyes.
For Snake Demons, Rat Demons were naturally a great nourishnt, not to ntion a Water Lake Rat with such a mutated bloodline.
"So, they ca for the Water Lake Rat?"
If this were truly the case, then things would beco sowhat complicated.
"This is probably instigated by True Monarch Chixiao!"
With this thought, Xu Ping’s murderous intent grew stronger.
But soon, he suppressed the killing intent in his heart. Even with the Water Lake Rat’s assistance, his current strength could hardly cope with three Nascent Soul-level enemies.
Furthermore, that demonic True Monarch was part of the Six Demon Countries Alliance, and if he summoned one or two more peak Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivators, it would be dangerous.
"Seems like, the rest of this journey requires concealing my identity and proceeding with caution," Xu Ping thought to himself.
Having made up his mind, he piloted the Spiritual Boat into a dense forest.
Half an hour later, a burly man riding a flying sword headed towards Dan Yun City.
...
anwhile, in the distant sky, three streaks of light sped away, none other than True Monarch Chixiao, True Monarch Yue Qian, and the Ten Thousand Snake Demon Monarch.
"True Monarch Yue Qian, now that you’ve seen this Rat Demon, do you believe what I said is not false?" True Monarch Chixiao smiled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
