348: Chapter 347 The Demon Clan Appears 348: Chapter 347 The Demon Clan Appears Feng Yue Inn.
The He family mbers were resting here.
“Damn it, we were so close to getting first place!”
In the room, He Nian’s tone was chilling as he spoke.
“A breakthrough at the last minute, we truly didn’t expect that.
However, we still have a hope of victory in tomorrow’s round,” He Ming said in a deep voice.
He wanted to say more, but his brow furrowed, and he shouted coldly, “Who’s there?
Get out!”
Whoosh!
A stream of black mist drifted in, tumbling in the air before finally forming a human shape.
“Elder Hei Xin?
What are you doing here?” He Ming coldly snapped, sans the servile attitude from the dayti.
“Humph, so it’s really you!” Elder Hei Xin’s gaze flickered, his body shrouded in swirling black aura.
“What’s your goal this ti, White Dragon Ascending Pills?”
“That’s none of your concern,” He Ming sneered.
“Black Old Ghost, I won’t let you get your hands on the elixir pills.”
“We’ll see about that.
I certainly don’t believe that you inhuman fellows could achieve anything in the Alchemy Dao!” Elder Hei Xin scoffed, his body once again becoming a ghostly fog, disappearing into the air.
“Is he from Black Heart Hall?” He Nian asked, puzzled.
He Ming nodded, “We don’t need to hold back against him; we must get the elixir pills.”
“You better rest up.
We have to win the competition tomorrow.” After giving a few instructions, He Ming left.
Dan King Hall.
A dark red shadow drifted towards the eastern pavilion, attracting no one’s attention.
Inside a room, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged, fully focused on consolidating his Soul Realm.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
His gaze was like a sharpened sword, piercing the void and racing towards the outside of the building.
Ding ding!
A clashing sound rang out.
With one staggered step, Lin Xuan appeared at the doorway.
“You think you can leave?
Don’t you think it’s too late?” His hand shot forward, and silver Thunder surged forth, forming a phantom of a dragon claw.
Like a Dragon Capturing Hand, it reached for the escaping dark red shadow.
Vroom!
Even a Soul Fusion Realm Expert hit by this strike would be injured.
The dark red shadow clearly hadn’t anticipated Lin Xuan’s formidable strength.
As the silver hand approached, it radiated a dark red glow.
Bang!
With one grab, Lin Xuan caught the figure, who let out a muffled groan and used a Secret Technique to transform into a fleeing streak of light.
“Eh?”
Lin Xuan was perplexed.
The thing he had snagged felt slippery and profoundly disgusting.
Withdrawing his hand, he looked closely.
“What is this?” Lin Xuan was stunned.
What he had caught turned out to be a piece of Snake Skin.
On the Snake Skin was also a red Pill Robe.
“This is the He family’s clothing, but why Snake Skin?” Lin Xuan wondered, “Could it be…”
He didn’t dare to continue the thought, as the implications were too shocking.
No, he must inform Old Man Di Que.
Grasping the items, Lin Xuan disappeared from the spot.
“Senior Di Que, have you gone to bed?” Lin Xuan quickly arrived in front of a large hall.
“Hehe, young friend Lin, what brings you here so late?” Old Man Di Que erged, pushing his wheelchair, his face etched with curiosity.
“Take a look at this.” With that, Lin Xuan handed over the Snake Skin.
“This is…” Old Man Di Que’s pupils shrank sharply.
“Where did you get this?”
His voice trembled slightly, as if he had seen sothing terrifying.
“Soone was spying just now, and I caught them.
They left behind this Snake Skin,but their true body escaped.”
“And this red Pill Robe, it should belong to the He family.”
“They really do have a problem.” Old Man Di Que’s expression beca grave.
“I must go out for a while.”
…
Within the grand hall, the elders’ faces were heavy with concern.
“Old Man Han, are you certain?” President ng Chuan said.
“Yes, this Snake Skin is indeed left behind by the He Family,” Old Man Di Que affird.
“Now we can be sure they are not human.”
Everyone looked at the blood-red Snake Skin, feeling a tingling sensation on their scalps.
Thinking back to the dayti competition, they felt a shiver in their hearts.
Could it be that they were competing against a group of monsters in broad daylight?
“It’s still better to confirm this,” President ng Chuan said cautiously.
“You should know what this Snake Skin signifies.”
“I’ll go with you,” Old Man Di Que offered.
“Let’s bring Lin Xuan along; he’s the one who found the thing.”
The two n quickly made their way to Dan King Hall and summoned Lin Xuan.
“We’re going to probe into the He Family’s foundations,” President ng Chuan explained their intent.
“If this is true, Heavenly Mountain Country might be in trouble.”
Lin Xuan nodded, sensing the gravity of the situation.
The three figures soared through the air, heading towards the He Family’s residence.
Before long, they arrived outside the inn.
“Conceal your presence,” President ng Chuan instructed.
Lin Xuan activated his black cloak, and his entire being seed to vanish.
His footsteps lightly touched the roof, as soft as cotton.
“There appear to be defense asures, but I can break through,” Old Man Di Que murmured, then with a wave of his sleeve, he produced a mirror.
Activating his Spiritual Power, the mirror emitted a faint glow, and Old Man Di Que aid it inside the building.
Soon, the mirror began to display a series of images.
“How wondrous?” Lin Xuan exclaid, amazed that the mirror could reproduce the scene within the room.
Now, they need not exert their Soul Power, let alone worry about being detected.
Inside the room, a petite figure was sitting on the ground, wrapped completely in a broad Red Robe.
“That must be He Nian,” the three communicated via their souls.
“She’s cultivating.”
Patiently, the three waited like seasoned hunters.
Hiss, hiss—
After a long while, the scene in the mirror changed.
The broad Red Robe began to swell as if sothing was inflating it from within.
Rip!
The sound of fabric tearing filled the air as the Red Robe split apart, revealing He Nian’s body.
At this mont, she was no longer petite but had beco robust.
Suddenly, a fine rift opened on her head.
Pop, pop, pop!
The aperture continued to widen, and a ferocious Snake Head erged, covered in green mucus.
Lin Xuan’s pupils constricted, and his eyebrows knitted tightly together.
This was too horrifying!
The once petite He Nian was actually a snake wearing human skin!
Hiss, hiss!
A human skin fell to the ground, and behind the grueso Snake Head erged a body covered in scales, similar to a human’s.
“What is this?” Lin Xuan was taken aback.
He had thought it would be a snake-like Demon Beast, but now it seed it wasn’t entirely so.
“It’s the Demon Clan,” ng Chuan declared solemnly.
“The Demon Clan?” Lin Xuan was shocked.
Amongst the Demon Beasts, there were even higher beings known as the Demon Clan.
These Demon Clan no longer retained the form of re beasts but had aspects similar to humans in certain parts of their bodies.
Just like the Snake Demon below, although it had a Snake Head, it had a body resembling that of a human.
“Hiss, hiss, being in my true form is so much more comfortable.
Being stuffed into that tiny body all day was suffocating!” The Snake Demon was actually speaking human language.
Her neck was elongated like a snake’s body, easily reaching the ceiling.
Poof!
The Snake Head stretched out, eagerly absorbing the power of the moonlight.
In the shadows, the faces of Lin Xuan and the others were solemn.
A Snake Demon, this matter was shockingly alarming.
“Demon Clan mbers are even rarer than experts in the Spirit Communication Realm, why would they appear here?” Old Man Di Que wondered.
