Damn it, those monsters are so cunning. If they're so tough, they should come out and fight us fair and square. What kind of hero hides in the shadows and plays dirty tricks?

Hei Xiong: "There's no other way. If they don't show their whereabouts, we can't find them. We can only use the most basic method to search."

Silver Ring sighed and resigned herself to following Black Bear's footsteps.

The two wandered aimlessly through the streets for over an hour when Hei Xiong's phone rang.

Hei Xiong answered the phone, said a few words to the other end, grabbed Yin Huan, and ran towards Bamian Mountain.

"Hurry, Xue has sensed demonic energy on Bamian Mountain." Hei Xiong pulled Yin Huan, avoided the nighttime pedestrians, and suddenly rushed towards Bamian Mountain.

Silver Ring frowned: "Are those demons hiding in Eight-Faced Mountain?"

Hei Xiong: "I don't know, we'll find out when we get there."

Bamian Mountain is a natural scenic area in Hengdian. As its name suggests, the mountain is towering in all eight directions, with steep cliffs and a very complex terrain. At night, Bamian Mountain is even more shadowy, and from a distance, it looks like a giant beast lurking under the moonlight, baring its teeth and exuding a sinister and eerie atmosphere.

Following the scent of snow, Yin Huan and Hei Xiong found it at the foot of a cliff on the summit of Bamian Mountain.

The two had just arrived and hadn't even caught a glimpse of its snowy form when they were startled by a sudden, thunderous roar from the cliff face. Huge boulders, as if struck by a heavy blow, crashed down from the cliff with a series of thuds.

Wherever it passed, large trees were snapped in half, and grass and trees flew away.

As soon as Hei Xiong and Yin Huan landed, they were startled by the stones rolling down from above and immediately ran away.

"Don't go down, I'll go check it out." Hei Xiong placed the silver ring on a treetop, gave the instructions, and then swooped down and flew towards the direction from which the strange noise had occurred.

There seems to be a fight going on over there.

Silver Ring: "......" Hey, come back!

Damn it, why did you put her on the top of the tree...? Don't you know she's afraid of heights?

Yin Huan lowered her head, glanced at the ground under the big tree, her brows furrowed, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes.

Oh no, oh no, I really do have acrophobia...

Damn it, it's all Huo Fei's fault. Her fear of heights was entirely caused by that bastard Huo Fei.

Yin Huan suppressed her panic, her fair hands tightly gripping the tree trunk. Then, with her eyes closed, she moved slowly and fearfully down the tree.

After moving for a while, she finally reached the tree trunk. Silver Ring exhaled, wiped her forehead, and gave herself a look of disdain.

She feared she was about to become a disgrace to the demon race.

Not very strong in combat, can't fly, fine. But he's afraid of heights... No, I have to keep his fear of heights a secret from everyone.

Yin Huan was furious. She hugged the tree trunk and cursed Huo Fei several times.

—Far away in Penang, Huo Fei, who was fighting against several demons that had suddenly attacked Luohan Temple, suddenly sneezed twice.

Overcoming her fear, Yin Huan finally managed to safely move from the treetop to the base after much effort. She steadied herself, took a few deep breaths, and then ran towards the direction from which the fighting was taking place.

During the time Silver Ring was down from the tree, the battlefield had shifted from the cliff to the ground.

In the pitch-black forest, a fierce wind swept through, and the vegetation, affected by the aftermath of the battle, swayed violently. Many small trees could not withstand the strong winds and waves and had already broken in half.

Silver Ring crept stealthily towards the battle zone. Once on the battlefield, she realized that things weren't as simple as she had thought.

Under the pitch-black night sky, several dark figures crisscrossed, darting swiftly through the trees like swallows.

The sounds of fighting, bang bang bang, were incessant.

There were quite a few shadowy figures fighting, and Silver Ring couldn't immediately tell who was friend and who was foe among those battling in the trees.

On a tree trunk ahead, Hei Xiong and Ta Xue were attacking an old man dressed as a Taoist priest; beside the old man, several people who were clearly with him were fighting desperately with other Taoist priests carrying peach wood swords.

The situation is somewhat complicated.

After observing for a long time, and with the arrival of the black bear, white-haired fox, and gray fox, Silver Ring finally managed to figure out what the battle was all about.

This was because an evil path and a demon were colluding, which was discovered by the demon hunters and Xue who were searching for the demon's whereabouts. Thus, the three parties started fighting.

The battle took a sharp turn after the three demons arrived and joined the fray, with the demon hunters and Black Xiong gaining the upper hand in a very short time. Especially after White Hair unleashed his trump card, using Buddhist power against several dark figures, the battle neared its end.

Those things disguised as humans could not maintain their appearance the moment the Buddha's power swept across them, and their true forms were revealed. Perhaps because their demonic power was weak, they were completely destroyed by the Buddha's power as soon as their true forms were revealed.

At the scene, only the old Taoist priest dressed as a Taoist remained resolutely standing there.

The old Taoist priest who colluded with the demons obviously did not expect that his few small actions in Hengdian would attract the help of the demonic Taoists.

Seeing that several demons had their physical bodies destroyed by the Buddha's power, the old Taoist's eyes turned sinister. He snorted coldly, and suddenly swung his sharp longsword, unleashing a powerful strike with a dark light that swept out towards the people who were attacking him.

Just as everyone was displaying their skills to defend against the attacks, the old Taoist seized the opportunity, suddenly using his toes to gain leverage and accurately extricate himself.

The old Taoist priest retreated in the direction that Silver Ring was hiding.

Yin Huan knew her own limitations; aside from being strong and having a good whip-wielding technique, she was utterly useless. From the very beginning, she had no intention of helping.

With her limited abilities, offering help would only make things worse.

She doesn't hold anyone back; in fact, she helps. Therefore, she hides it exceptionally well.

None of the three parties involved in the fight noticed that a little guy had infiltrated their battle zone.

The old Taoist priest, who was colluding with the demons, was focused on dealing with the demon hunters and the demons, including Black Xiong, who had discovered their whereabouts, and naturally did not notice Silver Ring. As he fled, he saw that the grass was dense in that direction, and on a whim, he decided to use the terrain to his advantage to escape the battle.
