In the past, if Xiao Qingluan had made such a request, the Prince of Zhenbei would definitely have agreed. After all, before his encounter with the Black-Robed Venerable and others from the Hehuan Sect, he was quite confident in his own strength.

But now, he felt that Fang Han's words were not meant to scare them. Fang Han did not mean that he did not want them to participate in the competition for the Yin-Yang Fruit, but that their strength was really insufficient.

"Qingluan, you must listen to me. We're going down the mountain right now."

The Prince of Zhenbei spoke solemnly and in a serious tone that left no room for doubt.

"Brother, let's stay here at the Taoist temple and observe the situation. We've come all this way to Yin Yang Mountain, we can't just give up now, it would damage your reputation."

Xiao Qingluan pleaded.

This time, she didn't resort to crying, making a scene, or threatening, because she sensed that her brother's tone was very different from usual. It was serious yet resolute, and she knew that unless she could persuade her brother, making a scene would be useless.

"We absolutely cannot linger here. The fierce fighting just now, the remaining corpses, and the pervasive stench of blood are very likely to attract those incredibly powerful demonic beasts. If that happens, our situation will become even more difficult and dangerous, and we might even fall into an abyss of no return."

The Prince of Zhenbei immediately said, "My reputation is nothing; life is the most important thing, especially your life."

After saying that, he grabbed Xiao Qingluan's hand tightly without further ado and strode quickly down the mountain.

He knew that the longer he stayed there, the greater the danger would become.

Although Xiao Qingluan was unwilling, she ultimately could not go against her brother's wishes.

Left with no other choice, she could only reluctantly obey her brother's orders.

However, Xiao Qingluan secretly planned that she would not leave so easily after descending the mountain.

She planned to wait for Fang Han to come down the mountain. She was full of curiosity and was determined to see with her own eyes what the legendary Yin-Yang Fruit looked like and what its wonders were.

“Brother, the evil people of the Hehuan Sect are entrenched in Yin Yang Mountain. In my opinion, you should send an elite force to flatten Yin Yang Mountain and eliminate this scourge.”

Xiao Qingluan said angrily as she walked down the winding mountain path.

She almost died here, so of course she hates the people of the Hehuan Sect to the core.

“This Yin-Yang Mountain is very strange. Mr. Fang Han said that there are also experts from the Hehuan Sect at the Divine Sense Realm in this mountain. If a large army comes in a big way, it can certainly flatten this place, but these evil people will probably flee at the first sign of trouble. Once you reach the Divine Sense Realm, you can fly on a sword. Such people are very difficult to track down.”

"Zhenbei Wang Xiao Zhandao."

"Brother, are you just going to let things go like this?"

Xiao Qingluan said with great displeasure.

"Hunting demonic beasts and suppressing evil people is the duty of the Demon Suppression Division. I will arrange for the Demon Suppression Division to send people to handle this matter."

"Zhenbei Wang Xiao Zhandao."

He not only held military power over the Northern Garrison, but also served as the head of the Demon Suppression Division, allowing him to freely command the division's troops.

"Although Tantai Qiuyue is a prodigy, since there are experts at the Divine Sense Realm in Yin Yang Mountain, even if she were to bring all the people from the Tianyuan Bureau of the Demon Suppression Division, it would probably be to no avail."

After a brief silence, Xiao Qingluan spoke.

Despite being a willful and charming little girl, she possesses basic problem-solving skills.

“I intend to invite Mr. Fang Han to serve as the Supreme Guest Elder of the Demon Suppression Division. If he agrees to help Tantai Qiuyue, this matter may be easily resolved.”

After a moment's thought, Zhenbei Wang Xiao Zhan said.

"Supreme Guest Elder? That's an important position that allows you to freely command the entire Demon Suppression Division. Its status is not much different from yours as the Division Chief."

Xiao Qingluan asked in surprise.

“Mr. Fang is our savior. Moreover, his cultivation is unfathomable. Not to mention serving as the Supreme Guest Elder of the Demon Suppression Division, he is fully capable of taking on the position of Division Chief. As long as His Majesty agrees, I am willing to hand over the position of Division Chief.”

Zhenbei Wang Xiao Zhandao spoke with sincerity.

"Brother, you value him so much?"

Xiao Qingluan couldn't help but ask.

“Mr. Fang will surely be able to step into the Yuan Dan realm or even higher in the future, soaring to the sky and becoming someone we can only look up to. Befriending him will be very beneficial to us. Someone like him may not even be worthy of the position of Director of the Demon Suppression Division.”

Xiao Zhan, the Prince of Zhenbei, sighed with emotion.

"He was originally a fool, how could he suddenly transform into a super strong person? This man is truly unpredictable, quite interesting."

Xiao Qingluan muttered to herself.

This is the second time she's said that Fang Han is somewhat interesting.

Just as Zhenbei King Xiao Zhan and his sister descended the mountain, Fang Han had already flown to the main peak of Yin Yang Mountain and was nearing the summit.

The Yin-Yang Mountain was originally lush with vegetation, but the closer one gets to the summit of the main peak, the sparser the vegetation becomes, while many huge rocks appear, giving it a desolate feel.

He sensed that he was getting closer and closer to the tracking talisman, so he slowed down and concealed his presence.

That beautiful young woman is already a powerful cultivator at the Divine Sense Realm, capable of flying on a sword. If she discovers us, we'll definitely have to run away on our swords.

The occasional clouds and mist that had appeared on the main peak earlier had vanished without a trace, replaced by a hazy, ink-like fog that surged and rolled, spreading and expanding until it enveloped the entire mountain.

Deep within the swirling smoke, occasional chirping sounds could be heard, their high-pitched voices echoing through the silent mountains, making it difficult to discern what kind of creature was making them.

In addition, a faint fishy smell wafted from the smoke. At first, it was barely noticeable, but as Fang Han went deeper, the smell became stronger and more pungent, making people dizzy and almost nauseous.

Fang Han's eyes gleamed. Although the surrounding scenery was hazy, he could still make out the general outline thanks to his exceptional eyesight.

Moreover, his perception is extremely strong, like an invisible net spread throughout the surrounding space. He can keenly detect even the slightest disturbance nearby, whether it is a subtle change in the wind or a faint fluctuation of the aura of a creature lurking in the shadows, as if everything is under his control.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Fang Han finally reached the summit.

Looking up, one can see a sizable lake atop the mountain. Under the cool moonlight, the water appears a mysterious and deep emerald green, like a giant piece of jade inlaid there.

In the middle of that lake, there was a small island.

"That beautiful woman must be hiding on this island."

Fang Han clearly sensed that there were human presences on the island, and it was definitely not just one person.

Just then, a burst of light suddenly appeared on the island.

The light pierced through the thick fog.

Fang Han saw it; it was a towering tree on the island that was in bloom.

The light was emitted by the blooming flower; it was truly magical.

"This is a Yin-Yang Tree!"

Fang Han's heart stirred.
