Bai Cang strongly suspects that he has encountered a "reverse phishing" scheme.
The most skilled hunters often appear as the prey.
Bai Cang had absolutely no interest in playing the role of "Dragon King's Son-in-Law".
After all, he can't even manage a "crooked smile," so how can he be a good "Dragon King's son-in-law"?
Thinking of this, Bai Cang couldn't help but feel wary of Fang Baoliu: Boy, you must protect yourself when you're out and about.
Moreover, if we follow this line of thinking, Fang Baoliu's previous irrational behavior can all be given a "reasonable" explanation.
That is: She seduced me, she actually seduced me!
Little did Fang Baoliu know that he was also very wary of Bai Cang at this moment, as if he was worried that Bai Cang would suddenly become beastly and devour him.
Although the "Master" was willing to agree to Bai Cang's exorbitant demands and even appointed him as his "protector" for this training trip, it was clear that he intended to bring the two together.
Fang Baoliu was not actually opposed to this, and even longed for it at one point, so she decisively chose to take the initiative.
However, Fang Baoliu was "greatly disappointed" after spending these few times with Bai Cang.
Bai Cang is too domineering, too tyrannical, too forceful, too clueless about romance, and has a serious case of paranoia. He is thick-skinned and black-hearted, and is simply a "top-notch scumbag".
Of course, these are not disadvantages in the Heshan Sect; on the contrary, they are extremely significant "advantages".
However, Fang Baoliu's emotional understanding kept telling her: this man is definitely not a good match, to hell with rationality, "a woman should treat herself better."
If the two of them become Daoist partners, wouldn't I be bullied to death in the future?
Amidst this intense conflict and entanglement between reason and intuition, Fang Baoliu subconsciously kept his distance from Bai Cang.
And so, amidst their mutual "guards," several days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a sudden rumble of thunder sounded, and the "stars" hanging in the sky began to fall one by one.
Countless changes of light and shadow, like the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields.
Green mountains and clear waters have turned into barren and desolate places, and beautiful scenery has become grotesque and ferocious.
Bai Cang felt his vision blur and the ground magnify infinitely, as if he were about to hit the ground headfirst and brake with his face, making him exclaim, "Damn it!"
But the next second, he found himself standing safely on the ground.
The surroundings were filled with a foul atmosphere and were filled with broken walls and ruins.
Towering trees rose from the ruins.
However, the lush green forests were devoid of any "life force," instead filled with an intense, almost impenetrable "deathly aura," as if the entire world had already "died."
Countless miasma, like dark clouds, shrouded one mountain peak after another, filling every corner.
Suddenly, a series of ghostly wails and howls came from the depths of the dense forest.
A bloody wind howled, dark clouds rolled in, and shadowy figures darted about.
Fang Baoliu was startled and no longer cared about being angry with Bai Cang.
He jumped up immediately and moved closer to Bai Cang.
"Awoo!"
The next moment.
All that could be seen in the dense forest were countless scarlet beast eyes, which were steadily approaching in a staggered pattern.
What appeared to be a pack of giant black wolves, their bodies emanating a faint demonic aura, moved with the disciplined undulations of a well-trained army, slowly closing in on the two.
"It's just a few iron-backed wolves, what are you so nervous about?"
Bai Cang smiled nonchalantly, and with a flick of his sleeves, dozens of Ice Soul Crystals were unleashed.
"Boom!"
The next moment.
The Yin thunder of Gui water exploded, and invisible ripples swept across.
Dozens of Ironbacked Wolves, newly entering the demon realm, along with the wolf king who was comparable to a ten-aperture cultivator, were annihilated before they could even let out a scream.
At the same time, Bai Cang's sleeves fluttered, and five illusory white bone demons rushed out in all directions.
"From now on, all actions will be taken under orders. Any questions?"
Looking at Bai Cang, who was handsome, composed, and exuded confidence, Fang Baoliu suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of security.
As if a thread in her heart had been touched, she immediately replied obediently, "Mmm!"
Bai Cang had no interest in probing her change in mindset. "Tell me everything you know about this secret realm."
Fang Baoliu pondered for a moment, then slowly explained, "This secret realm is called Cangli Blessed Land. It is said to be the place where a Golden Core True Monarch passed away. When True Monarch Tianhe first came to Xia Kingdom, he explored this place. The Nine Rivers and Great Swamps in Zongguan Mountain Gate were transported from here."
"Back then, before the True Lord had condensed his core, he, as a Dao Foundation True Person, withstood three True Lords who were not yet at the False Core stage and ultimately won. However, it was because of that great battle that the Cangli Blessed Land was shattered."
"Later, the True Lord made an agreement with the three fake core cultivators to use this secret realm as a training ground for their disciples. They jointly set up a forbidden spell and shared entry and exit tokens. The True Lord received six tokens and bestowed them upon the three senior brothers of the Three Capitals of the General Temple and the Ten Thousand Mountains Headquarters."
"However, Senior Brother Li and Senior Brother Zhao have already explored this place before, so we shouldn't encounter them again."
So, our Heshan Cult started out as a tomb raider?
To find the dragon vein and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains; each winding mountain is a barrier.
Bai Cang inwardly complained, but his eyes narrowed. "You mean: besides competing with our fellow disciples from Heshan Dao, we also have to run into the disciples of the False Core True Monarch?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Baoliu looked up at Bai Cang, his eyes filled with a light of admiration and respect. "I believe that Junior Brother will be able to handle this with ease!"
Bai Cang remained completely unmoved by this clumsy attempt to "praise someone to death," and simply frowned, saying, "So, you're planning to stand by and do nothing from now on, relying entirely on me to protect you?"
While there's nothing wrong with taking money to do things, Fang Baoliu is, after all, a cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining. Is she really as bad as she appears?
Especially since she grew up in the Heshan Sect and even spent time at the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Mountains Sect.
How could someone who grew up in that hellish place where people are devoured without spitting out their bones be a delicate and weak innocent flower?
Bai Cang can take money to do things, but he will never allow others to treat him like a fool.
Faced with Bai Cang's questioning, Fang Baoliu replied matter-of-factly, "It's precisely because I'm not good at fighting that I have to spend a lot of money to ask my junior brother to protect me. Shouldn't you protect me?"
What you said makes so much sense, I'm completely speechless... what a load of rubbish!
"You have to handle these smaller situations on your own to really get the training you need."
Bai Cang said righteously, "Otherwise, if we encounter danger, I can't guarantee that I will have the capacity to take care of you."
Do you think this "philanthropist" is so easily fooled? Trying to use him as a laborer? No way!
At worst, he can just collapse and run away; who can do anything about it?
Fang Baoliu was silent for a moment after hearing this, then sighed and said, "Junior brother is right. I will definitely take action later to prevent you from being in a difficult position."
"But at crucial moments, I'll ask you to keep an eye on things for me, junior brother."
Bai Cang nodded, then a strange light flashed in his eyes. "Let's go, let's meet those new friends!"
