Yun Che stopped and asked, "What did you find?"
“This small lake seems to be emitting a very special aura.” Jasmine said slowly, “It’s somewhat similar to a certain aura I know… it’s a bit similar to… the aura of the Golden Crow!”
Golden Crow?
“Have you ever come into contact with the Golden Crow’s aura of power?” Yun Che asked subconsciously.
"This is not important. A lake can emit an aura similar to that of the Golden Crow. Although it is very faint, it is also very unusual. Let's go down and confirm it."
The attribute of the Golden Crow's power is fire, and the lake is naturally full of water. It sounds very unusual indeed. After confirming that there was no one else around, Yun Che descended as he was told and landed on the lakeside.
This is a very small lake, not much bigger than a pond, and you can see the edge at a glance. But the water is exceptionally clear, and even under the hazy moonlight, you can still vaguely see through to the bottom of the lake.
Twenty feet away from the lake, there was a patch of tangled grass and trees. The grass and trees in the bushes were not green, but dry. The twenty feet next to the lake, which should have been the most suitable place for grass and trees to grow, was barren and flat.
The night wind blew over the lake. It should have brought coolness to the lake water, but it made Yun Che clearly feel a strange sense of heat. With an idea in his mind, he squatted down and stretched his hand into the lake water... The water was not cool, but rather a warm feeling close to body temperature.
The Demon King City is located in the northern part of the Fantasy Demon Realm. The climate there is cool, and it is night time. The lake water should be cool or even icy. It shouldn't be this warm.
“In the lake, there is indeed an aura similar to the Golden Crow’s Flame Power, but I’m not sure it’s the Golden Crow’s Flame Power.” Jasmine said calmly.
Yun Che pondered for a moment, stood up, and said uncertainly: “Could it be because this place is close to the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley that this is the case?”
“No!” Jasmine retorted, “You can look around. Only a small area near the lake has no vegetation, as if it was completely burned. The areas relatively far away are covered with vegetation. If it is because of the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley, then this generation should be affected. If my guess is correct, someone should have released the Golden Crow Flame Force into it, and judging from the aura, it should not have been too long, probably about two or three days.”
“Release the flame power into the lake? Why?” Yun Che asked in confusion.
“Perhaps it was not released intentionally, but the Golden Crow Flame Force in the body stayed in the lake for quite some time, so it stayed there. More likely, someone had difficulty in completely controlling the Golden Crow Flame Force in the body, so he relied on the lake water to calm it down. The latter possibility is greater. Because the Golden Crow’s flame is extremely violent, if you don’t practice the Golden Crow Burning Record, it is basically impossible to control the Golden Crow’s flame force like controlling ordinary profound fire with profound strength alone! The purer the Golden Crow bloodline, the more so!”
“Is that so…” Yun Che nodded slowly. All the members of the Illusionary Demon Royal Family possessed more or less Golden Crow blood, and the Demon King’s bloodline was the purest. Could it be that someone from the Illusionary Demon Royal Family had bathed in this lake?
However, this does not seem to be worthwhile to delve into. If you want to experience the power of the Golden Crow's flames, you can enter the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley. There, you must go!
But it's quiet here and no one will disturb you, so it's a good place to practice sword.
“It’s still early. Since we’ve come this far, let’s practice swordplay to our heart’s content!” Yun Che stretched out his arms: “Hong’er, don’t sleep any more. Get ready…”
“Wait!!” Jasmine suddenly said, “Hide your aura immediately. Someone is coming… and he’s an extremely powerful guy!”
To be described by Jasmine as "extremely powerful", he must be extraordinary, at least he was someone he had no chance of dealing with. If he was an enemy or a bad guy, in this place far away from the Demon King City, he would not even have anyone to ask for help. Yun Che quickly used "Flowing Light and Hidden Thunder" to gather his aura, and then silently got into the bushes behind him.
The bushes were not too tall, but they were dense enough to cover Yun Che's body. Not long after he hid, a blurry figure appeared in the sky directly in front of him, and then in an instant, like a flickering light in the night sky, it approached within thirty feet of him...
So fast! Yun Che exclaimed in his heart. At the same time, he quickly lowered his head to prevent the other party from noticing his gaze... His spiritual perception was sharp to a certain extent, and he could completely detect the gaze without using his eyes... Yun Che had this ability. The other party's amazing speed showed his powerful and incomparable strength... This person's strength might not be inferior to that of his father, Yun Qinghong.
Just when Yun Che even closed his eyes, he suddenly realized that the other party's speed had obviously slowed down, and then stopped in the air not far in front of him.
Yun Che's mind was focused... Did he discover me? Damn! How come this Flowing Lightning Hidden Lightning was suddenly useless at the most critical moment! Or... Is the opponent's profound strength too strong, and I can't escape his spiritual perception even with Flowing Lightning Hidden Lightning?
But soon, Yun Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because although the other party stopped, he did not feel the gaze. A mysterious energy field was released from the man's body, sweeping towards the surroundings, passing by the position where Yun Che was, but did not stop at all, which also proved that Yun Che was indeed not discovered… However, when the mysterious energy field brushed against his body, it made Yun Che's whole body stiffen violently, and his internal organs suddenly tightened. The piercing coldness spread throughout his body in an instant, seeping directly into his blood.
This person... has such a terrifying aura!
Yun Che was completely certain that the strength of this profound energy aura was in no way inferior to that of Yun Qinghong!
The powerful aura of profound strength was secondary, and it also clearly carried a heavy and extremely oppressive feeling! This sense of oppression was so strong that Yun Che felt as if his blood was almost solidified.
Even Yun Che was like this. If it were someone else, they would probably kneel down on the ground and tremble under this pressure.
Who is this person... He didn't notice my presence, but stopped here, which means that this person was originally going to come to this place.
Why would a strong man in the Junxuan realm come to this place in the middle of the night?
The man floated in the air for a while, and after confirming that there was no one around, he withdrew his spiritual sense. At this time, Yun Che also raised his head very carefully and looked at this person. With the bright moonlight, he could clearly see the whole appearance of this person, and his expression became dull for a moment...
Yun Che thought that what he saw was perhaps an old man with an intimidating look, or perhaps a middle-aged man with a sinister look... Even if the other person's face was very young, he would not be too surprised.
But what he saw was clearly a...
Little girl! ?
Yun Che closed his eyes tightly for a moment, and when he opened them again, he saw... still a little girl!
The girl looked very young, only about fourteen or fifteen years old at most, even younger than Feng Xue'er when they first met. She was wearing a gray long skirt that didn't fit her and didn't look good... No, it couldn't be called a long skirt, but a dark gray robe without any decoration. The girl was very petite and delicate, and the gray robe was not wide, but it couldn't hold her body tightly. Instead, it swayed in the night wind, and the hem almost submerged the girl's ankles.
This girl is dressed... strangely.
However, this girl with such strange clothes actually had an exquisitely beautiful face. At least, Yun Che, who had come into contact with too many beautiful women, felt a long sense of suffocation after seeing her face clearly. The shock he felt when he first saw Feng Xue'er was almost as great as the shock he felt when he first met her...
Xia Qingyue had a cold and pure beauty, Feng Xue’er had a dreamy beauty, and Jasmine had a bewitching beauty… and this girl was also extremely bewitchingly beautiful, but the bewitching feeling she presented was different from that of Jasmine. This was a gloomy and dangerous bewitching feeling that made Yun Che think of the cold-blooded and merciless god of death when he looked at her directly. Once he got close to or touched her, he would die without a burial place.
Although she still looked like a young girl, her appearance was extremely beautiful. However, the chilling and piercing aura on her body had reached an extreme level. Yun Che was absolutely sure that anyone who faced her would not be amazed by her appearance at first, but rather be terrified by her aura... and her eyes!
Floating in the night sky, her eyes were also unusually dark, and under the moonlight, they were faintly flickering with a faint black light. Looking into these eyes, Yun Che seemed to see the boundless, deep and endless night, and the abyss of death that would lead to eternal damnation once one fell into it... He looked away almost instantly, and a chill ran down his spine.
Who on earth is this little girl?
Moreover, this girl who looked only fourteen or fifteen years old actually possessed the profound strength of the Sovereign Profound Realm... She should even be in the middle stage of the Sovereign Profound Realm!
Emperor, this title represents the highest level of the Xuan Realm. In the Seven Profound Heavenly Kingdoms, it is a mythical existence. But here... the father is the Emperor, the mother is the Emperor, the uncle is the Emperor... even a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old has the power of the Emperor! !
When did the dignified emperor become so worthless!
“This person is so violent! It seems like she has killed many people.” Jasmine said calmly. With her ability, she certainly would not be intimidated by the aura of this little girl. “She should be from the Illusory Demon Royal Family?”
"How do you know?"
“Because, she has the aura of the Golden Crow bloodline.” Jasmine warned: “You’d better hide well and pray that you are not discovered. With her strong hostility, if she finds out you exist, she will kill you without hesitation!”
Yun Che: “…Why is she coming here alone in the middle of the night? Is she waiting for someone?”
Yun Che had just finished speaking to Jasmine when the girl, who had been still for a long time, suddenly moved and slowly lowered her body.
Her hair was very long, reaching below her waist and hips, and was as black as the night sky, gently brushing against her white jade-like face in the night breeze. When her toes touched the center of the lake, she stopped there and gently closed her eyes.
At the moment her eyes closed, the heavy, dark, and cold aura coming from her suddenly dissipated without a trace. Yun Che’s body and mind, as well as the oppression he had endured, also disappeared in an instant… The girl in his sight stood quietly in the center of the lake, her face peaceful, her black hair dancing lightly. The scene was so beautiful that it was hard to break it… Yun Che was in a daze for a long time, and even doubted whether he had just had an illusion.
Slowly, the girl opened her arms, and her loose sleeves fell down, revealing a pair of crystal white hands as white as jade. Then, her body continued to move downward until her calves were submerged in the lake water... At this moment, a cluster of scorching flames suddenly burned on her body.
The flames were faint, but they spread quickly, soon enveloping her entire body. In the flames, her black hair danced high… However, the flying hair did not attract Yun Che’s attention at all, because, as the flames burned on the surface of her body, the gray clothes on her body were quickly burned to ashes… When the flames went out, a jade body that was as white as snow, and as delicate and fragile as to make people feel pity, appeared in the night wind without any cover… and also appeared in Yun Che’s sight.
