Concubine Yunxia also felt a chill, rushing from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.
This thing gave her a feeling far more ferocious than the Sky Demon Emperor!
He decisively carried Jiang Fan on his back, swiftly heading to the exit.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Hell Beast in the great hall was still devouring Yan Dao’an’s remnant soul, he decisively escaped.
And Jiang Fan discovered a quasi-spiritual artifact longbow not far away.
He grabbed it easily.
Finally leaving the inner court.
Jiang Fan sensed the space barrier behind him, as if something had violently shaken it.
A bead of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
It must have been that Hell Beast trying to intercept them.
Fortunately, they left decisively.
If they had hesitated for even a few breaths, they would have been caught.
"Little Qilin, is the monster you mentioned that one?"
Little Qilin, shivering, jumped into Jiang Fan’s arms, trembling and said:
"When I went into the main hall, I ate some food and drank some water."
"Then I accidentally swallowed a pearl, and this thing just appeared out of thin air."
"It almost caught me."
Jiang Fan widened his eyes.
Little Qilin had actually been to the main hall?
From the layout, the twenty-four small side halls were merely there to complement the main hall.
The true treasure should be hidden in the main hall.
The food and drink mentioned by Little Qilin must be earthly wonders!
"Wait, you said a pearl?"
Jiang Fan was puzzled, he hadn’t heard Little Qilin mention any pearl.
Little Qilin pointed at his own round belly:
"It’s right in here."
"I tried, but I can’t spit it out."
"It’s as if it’s become a part of my body."
Jiang Fan pondered, was the pearl swallowed and then the Hell Beast appeared?
What exactly is this pearl?
On the side, Concubine Yunxia gasped.
Without blinking, she stared at Little Qilin.
In disbelief, she said, "Jiang Fan, where did you come by this little spirit beast?"
Jiang Fan said, "It came on its own."
Concubine Yunxia stumbled slightly, feeling a little dizzy.
"On its... on its own?"
"If my guess is correct, it is the little beast the Sky Demon Emperor has been searching for all along!"
"This time, the reason the Demon Race waged a war was also to force the Human Clan to hand it over."
Jiang Fan widened his eyes.
He lifted Little Qilin with a look of astonishment and said, "You mean the war between the two races, was for it?"
Little Qilin innocently blinked its big eyes, sheepishly saying:
"I just ate a little bit of something."
Concubine Yunxia took several deep breaths to calm herself down.
Both amused and exasperated, she said:
"You and your master are carved from the same mold."
"Always managing to inadvertently drive others to collapse."
"Do you know what the pearl you swallowed is?"
"It is the Merit Divine Pearl used by the Tiger Demon Emperor to break through the Divinity Transformation Realm!"
A treasure for breaking through Divinity Transformation?
Jiang Fan was stunned.
Concubine Yunxia said with a pained expression:
"The abbot of the White Horse Temple once led the monks across the seas to specifically seek out this Divine Pearl."
"After the Tiger Demon Emperor refused, the White Horse Temple tried to convert him."
"Both sides waged a great battle over this."
"In the end, with the White Horse Temple losing several Vajras and the Tiger Demon Emperor being severely injured, it concluded."
Jiang Fan was shocked beyond words.
The Tiger Demon Emperor was truly fierce back then.
Fighting the monks of the White Horse Temple alone, and still causing them to suffer a crushing defeat.
Jiang Fan was a bit puzzled.
Why would such a formidable Tiger Demon Emperor perish while exploring the Secret Realm of the Nine-Dynasty Ancient Capital?
That Ancient Giant at most was Nascent Soul Middle Stage, right?
Even if it was a sneak attack, it shouldn’t have been that easy to kill the Tiger Demon Emperor.
The death of the Tiger Demon Emperor.
There must be another reason.
But that’s not important anymore.
He looked intently at Little Qilin’s belly: "If we extract the Merit Divine Pearl now, can it still be useful?"
Concubine Yunxia shook her head.
"After so much time, the Merit Divine Pearl has already begun to merge with its body."
"If I’m not mistaken, it should have been very sleepy lately."
"That’s due to the merger of the Merit Divine Pearl with it."
Jiang Fan was always curious as to why Little Qilin had become increasingly sleepy.
So that’s what it was!
Concubine Yunxia said enviously, "Congratulations, you have acquired a spirit beast with boundless potential."
"With the Merit Divine Pearl, it will naturally break through to the Demon Emperor stage."
"The hope of advancing to Divinity Transformation far exceeds that of ordinary demons."
"What a lucky little beast."
As she spoke, she couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
Being of the Demon Race herself, breaking through to the Demon Emperor Realm was arduous.
Yet Little Qilin’s path ahead is clear, without any obstacles.
Jiang Fan thought of giving her a horn as a gift.
The wall behind them began to shake once more.
The persistent Hell Beast was still attacking the space barrier.
"Let’s find a different place."
"I need to heal first."
Concubine Yunxia nodded.
She carried Jiang Fan to a secluded valley.
After resting for an hour.
His injuries were almost fully healed.
At this moment, he held both the Thunder Extension Order and the Thunder Pill in his hands.
"It’s the last layer of Cloud Shadow!"
His eyes shone with a trace of excitement.
Once practiced, wherever his gaze reached, he could instantly move.
With such speed, even Nascent Souls would be inferior.
Of course, the downside is obvious.
It is limited by the power of thunder and lightning in his body.
For such long-distance travel, the consumption of thunder and lightning would be massive.
Even after absorbing Yuan Chen’s Thunder Pill, at most he could use it five times consecutively.
After using it, he would still be caught up by Nascent Soul Experts.
At least when facing Nascent Soul Experts, he wouldn’t just be waiting for death.
There would be a sliver of opportunity to escape!
He closed his eyes and cultivated silently.
Concubine Yunxia, on the side, built a small stove using stones, brewing a pot of tea over a slow fire.
Occasionally glancing at Jiang Fan, and then looking at the serene blue sky.
She would sometimes think about the little moments between the two of them.
Finally, resting her cheek on her snowy hand, she quietly watched Jiang Fan.
A slight smile, like a gentle spring breeze brushing over a lake, rippling clear waves.
It became a painting.
When time turns tender, and travels under the starry night.
She will still remember.
Once in a certain valley.
No mission from the Fox Demon Clan, no oppression from the Sky Demon Emperor, no dust and grime from pursuing the Martial Path.
Only a pot of tea, a lover, and her own smiling gaze.
As Jiang Fan’s body surged with thunder and lightning.
He slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of a smile.
"Heavenly Thunder Six Parts: Cloud Shadow", achieved Great Success!
With this technique, he now had a card up his sleeve against the Nascent Soul Realm.
A fragrant breeze wafted.
Concubine Yunxia took a silk handkerchief from her sleeve, gently wiping the sweat off his forehead.
Her eyes soft, her affection rich.
Jiang Fan’s heart felt different.
He was no longer a naive young boy.
He could understand Concubine Yunxia’s feelings.
Just as he was about to say something.
A series of small explosions sounded near the valley.
Jiang Fan suddenly stood up and said:
"They’ve encountered danger."
"Let’s go check it out!"
