This change was clearly unexpected for the Golden Ape, leaving it montarily at a loss.
If Xu Fan were awakened and tortured again, should he genuinely despond during the ordeal due to his low strength and perish, then the White Snake would also fall. That would ruin everything.
However, if Xu Fan is not awakened, controlling the White Snake would be much easier, yet the Golden Ape feels sowhat unsatisfied!
Every ti Xu Fan finds various reasons to thwart the Golden Ape's actions, it feels like punching into cotton, unable to exert power...
"Damn it!"
After long contemplation, the Golden Ape decided to prioritize the bigger picture.
Once this restriction is broken, an insignificant Taoist youngster poses no threat. The Golden Ape intends not only to kill Xu Fan but also to massacre the Taoists, painting the town red with their blood!
Only by doing so can the Golden Ape release the pent-up anger of a thousand years!
"Bai Ying, since I've called your na, why do you still show this face to ?"
"Besides, the one who truly killed Gu Fang wasn't , but the Taoists! Don't you see? This is all part of a sche devised by those Taoists! Their goal is to control us, to enhance their combat strength! Our common enemy is the Taoists! Do you understand?"
The Golden Ape's words made the White Snake's body tremble, suddenly glowing brightly, transforming from a small snake into a woman in white.
Her silky black hair cascaded like a waterfall on her shoulders, her extrely beautiful face remained young despite the thousand years, though covered in layers of frost, anyone who gazes upon it even for a glance might turn into an ice sculpture.
In fact, with her power, turning people into ice sculptures is straightforward; earlier at the small pond, she nearly froze Xu Fan despite the constraint.
"Very good, it seems you've recalled your identity." The Golden Ape showed no surprise upon witnessing the transformation, as if it had seen this scene nurous tis before.
Gazing steadily at Bai Ying, the Golden Ape spoke word by word, "Your na is Bai Ying, a dignified Demon Cultivator! Not rely a Demon Beast! You shouldn't be enslaved by anyone!"
"In the future, when you transform from snake to dragon, soaring in the sky, everyone will be left in awe! Even Gu Fang from a thousand years ago, even the Taoists, cannot dictate your fate!"
Boom!
These words exploded like a startling thunder in Bai Ying's ears, causing her charming body to tremble uncontrollably.
"Rest for a mont and restore your Spiritual Power, then join in breaking the restriction."
Seeing Bai Ying in this state, the Golden Ape figured it was enough and with a cold word, approached Xu Fan, sat cross-legged, and began restoring its Spiritual Power.
Those punches used to break the restriction looked impressive but were trendously taxing on Spiritual Power.
How strong is Bai Ying? Being unable to escape the small pond for a millennium shows the restriction's power, and breaking it with punches was exhausting even for the Golden Ape.
The reason the Golden Ape chose to stay near Xu Fan was not out of concern for feigning unconsciousness, seeing Xu Fan as insignificant. His only value lies in threatening Bai Ying to fulfill the Golden Ape's intentions.
After all, Xu Fan's power is too weak! Even awake, he can't do much.
Indeed, Xu Fan could commit suicide, perishing alongside Bai Ying and thwarting the Golden Ape's plan, but the question is, does Xu Fan have that courage? Would a Taoist disciple who can't withstand a bit of pressure dare to threaten with his life?
Closely, the Golden Ape despises Xu Fan. Weak in power and a Taoist disciple full of righteousness... If it weren't for these flattering remarks from Xu Fan, or rather if there were no other use for him, the Golden Ape would have killed him long ago.
To be sure, the Golden Ape glanced at Xu Fan again, seeing him still unconscious without any sign of waking and fully relaxed, beginning to restore its Spiritual Power.
Xu Fan remained unconscious, lying flat on the ground, seemingly devoid of consciousness.
But in truth, is that the case?
Of course not.
The so-called unconsciousness rely stemd from Xu Fan using a weakened Turtle Breathing Technique, appearing as if unconscious but internally exceptionally clear-minded.
What is the use?
Don't forget, Xu Fan shares a soul-level connection with Bai Ying! This makes Bai Ying his eyes! Xu Fan doesn't need to open his eyes or even ask Bai Ying what's happening, perceiving through her sensory feedback vividly.
This is the first step in Xu Fan's plan.
Deceiving the Golden Ape, Xu Fan and Bai Ying putting on a seamlessly coordinated performance, making Xu Fan's existence overlooked, while gaining the Golden Ape's trust in Bai Ying.
So far, Xu Fan's first step was imnsely successful!
With the first step secured, the second becos effortless and even the final third step will beco much smoother...
"Taoist lad, can you tell what the second step of your plan is?"
In Xu Fan's mind, Bai Ying's voice suddenly appeared, cool-toned but not directed at Xu Fan, inherently cool, like a chilled beverage on a hot sumr day, refreshing the spirit.
Previously, Xu Fan hadn't revealed his plan to Bai Ying, yet Bai Ying easily deciphered Xu Fan's first step, cooperating seamlessly for perfect execution.
As for Xu Fan's second step, even Bai Ying couldn't anticipate it.
Xu Fan smiled slightly, responding ntally, "Senior Bai, allow to clarify, I'm not so Taoist lad. Actually, the Taoists did send one, but he has already died by my hand. As for the second step, you'll see then."
Xu Fan masquerading as a Taoist disciple was to incite the Golden Ape, stimulating its impulsiveness and anger, inducing a sense of complacency. Xu Fan's plan is interconnected, with the identity of a Taoist disciple just a minor deception.
Having said this, Xu Fan beca calm and silent, like a silent Hunter, focused solely on the prey.
Ti passed slowly.
Suddenly, the Golden Ape stood up and roared, an imposing energy rising from its body!
