The enchantnt cast over the small pond disintegrated into a flurry of scattered lights.
The old monk, from his superior position, looked down at the White Snake with an inexplicable expression.
Similarly, the White Snake held its body upright, staring defiantly at the old monk. However, its gaze wasn't entirely hostile; there was an indescribable nuance.
In any case, the two figures appeared infinitely complex at that mont.
Xu Fan watched them from afar, neither approaching nor issuing commands to the White Snake.
Given that the White Snake was close to the old monk's level of strength, Xu Fan believed it already knew what to do.
After a long silence, the old monk spoke first, his face a mix of resentnt and a greater degree of disdain, "Hehe, is this what you steadfastly believe in? Sealed here for a thousand years for your conviction! Bearing endless loneliness! Now… have you regretted it?"
"Never!" The White Snake's response was crisp and clear, causing a slight anger to flash across the old monk's face.
However, known for never being soft, the old monk surprisingly did not choose to get angry this ti. Instead, he shook his head repeatedly, full of pity, deep in his eyes lay profound disdain.
For so unknown reason, looking at the old monk's eyes, Xu Fan felt that the monk's disdain wasn't aid at the White Snake but seed to target another person...
"I think that when the Myriad Beasts Sect's Sect Master Gu Fang died, you should have died with him!"
"But since you didn't die and caused to endure a century of suffering here, you must now pay the price!"
At this point, the old monk suddenly changed from his gritting teeth deanor to a voice that carried a hint of persuasion, "Surely you don't want to stay here anymore? With your talents, without Gu Fang, you would have transford into a Jiao and had a chance of becoming a Dragon. Would you have fallen to this state?"
"Join hands with later to break the enchantnt, and I will let you go. How about it?"
The old monk spoke these words clearly; it was obvious that he didn't trust Xu Fan's Beast Taming Art.
After all, for a strong entity like the White Snake, breaking free of control is relatively easy as long as it pays the corresponding price.
As for whether the old monk would allow the White Snake to leave after breaking the enchantnt, that entirely depended on the monk's mood.
The old monk said this candidly, without hiding it from Xu Fan. Xu Fan, too, sat wisely at a distance, adjusting his breath, as if he had been greatly impacted by the energy fluctuations just now.
"Hehe."
The White Snake's response to the old monk was a cold laugh to the extre.
"A thousand years ago, I believed your words, which led to the Sect Master's death. Do you think I would trust you again now?"
With these words from the White Snake, the atmosphere instantly returned to a freezing point.
The old monk's eyes twinkled, as if murderous intent had arisen, while the White Snake remained unyielding, glaring at the old monk with a stance of perishing together if it ca to it.
"Sigh!"
At this mont, Xu Fan let out a noticeable exhale, breaking the deadlock between the two.
It seed Xu Fan had just co back from entering ditation; he walked boldly toward the old monk and firmly said, "Elder! I have already recovered from the injuries I suffered earlier; I will now control this White Snake and break the enchantnt with you!"
However, the old monk said nothing, not even glancing at Xu Fan, his gaze fixed on the White Snake, while the corner of his mouth lifted playfully.
Previously, the old monk went through great lengths for Xu Fan to control the White Snake precisely for this mont.
Without Xu Fan as a link, if the White Snake escaped the old monk's control, even by winning, it would be a pyrrhic victory. Escaping the enchantnt this lifeti would be impossible. On the contrary, with Xu Fan, the old monk could leverage Xu Fan's life.
If the White Snake showed any signs of freeing itself, the old monk could kill Xu Fan, and as Xu Fan's Spiritual Beast, the White Snake would die too.
Even if the White Snake decided to break free from Xu Fan's control at a great cost, its strength would be greatly reduced, allowing the old monk to easily regain control.
This plan was still an open sche, still unsolvable!
As the White Snake looked at the old monk's smiling mouth, its face changed dramatically, while Xu Fan appeared baffled and at a loss.
"Elder?"
The old monk remained oblivious to Xu Fan's question, the smile on his lips even wider.
"Bai Ying, let's break the enchantnt together, to show sincerity… I'll kill this kid now! How about it?"
Upon hearing this, the White Snake trembled slightly, while Xu Fan's reaction was extrely intense, as if he recognized the old monk for the first ti, his eyes widened, and he pointed a trembling finger at the monk, speaking shakily, "Elder, what do you an by this? How can you say such things to a Demon Beast?"
"Demon Beast? Hahaha! Demon Beast?"
The old monk couldn't help but laugh out loud after Xu Fan's words.
"Silly Taoist boy, don't you understand yet? Your so-called elder is also a Demon Beast!"
As he spoke, a burst of golden light erupted from the old monk's body, his once kind face finally revealing ferocity, his body swelling to over three ters tall, transforming into a golden monkey, its furious eyes and golden fur resembling a Divine Weapon Vajra.
Simultaneously, a terrifying aura firmly locked onto Xu Fan. With his strength, Xu Fan was immobilized.
Moreover, Xu Fan had an incredibly real premonition, as if just a thought from the golden monkey would crush him to death without needing to lift a finger!
"Demon, Demon Beast, how dare you deceive ! My Taoist clan will never coexist with you!!"
The more "angry" Xu Fan's face beca, the more "excited" his voice grew, the more intense the mockery on the golden monkey's face and the more satisfied it felt!
A thousand years ago, a group of Taoists sealed the golden monkey here, struggling for a millennium, suffering countless hardships.
Today, the golden monkey finally avenged its thousand-year-old hatred, this overwhelming sense of joy made the monkey almost lose itself!
However, the golden monkey, standing at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World a millennium ago, quickly regained its composure, wanting to use asures to threaten Xu Fan, lest Xu Fan gets too agitated and does sothing desperate, causing the White Snake to die along.
Yet, before the golden monkey could demonstrate its thods, the overly agitated and shocked Xu Fan rolled his eyes and promptly fainted...
