93 Cut off temptation
The eagle demon turned around, its eyes filled with both desire and caution. Looking at the two women, its gaze sharp, it said, 'Are you telling the truth? If you're lying, the consequence will be that I devour you alive.'
Wan Qing's eyes flashed with cunning as she said, "The master you follow is incredibly powerful. If you truly follow him, you have a great chance of obtaining all sorts of elixirs and magical medicines, as well as demon beast cores. With that in mind, and given your good aptitude, breaking through to the Demon King realm is just around the corner."
After your breakthrough, you eagle demons will have a place to roost in these 100,000 mountains. You won't have to depend on anyone anymore.
After listening, the eagle demon pondered for a moment, then tilted its head and said, "You've been talking for so long, but all I need to do is stay with my master. What business is it of yours? If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. You'd better find a place to hide. Although I won't provide your information to the Demon King, the other demons might!"
The eagle demon listened, offering little advice, thinking to itself, 'I know I should pledge allegiance to my master; do you need to tell me? But how difficult is it for a demon king to break through!'
"Please wait, I know how to refine medicine. If we're with your master, it'll be easier for your eagle clan to find medicinal herbs. You can provide them to your master, and we'll help you refine them. We'll save some for you, or your master might reward you if they're in a good mood. Wouldn't that make your breakthrough much faster?"
The eagle demon, just about to fly away, pondered these words. 'Humans seem to have a particular fondness for elixirs. If that's truly the case, it's quite possible.'
So he asked, 'What do you want?'
The spirit fox, Wanqing, with her bright eyes, said sincerely, "You probably know where your master lives. Take us there, and when your master returns, we'll explain everything to him."
Presumably, your master has agreed to let us stay. You can provide some medicinal herbs, and we'll put in a good word for you. Then, your wish will probably be granted very soon!
The eagle demon stared at Rou Rou and Wan Qing for a while, and Wan Qing also looked at the eagle demon honestly.
'This way, we can also receive protection; otherwise, the Demon King and his forces will find us sooner or later.'
The eagle demon nodded and said, "Alright, I agree. I will take you to my master, Lord He. However, you must swear an oath before the Demon Saint; if you break the oath, you will never be able to break through to the Demon King realm in this lifetime."
"Okay. We swear." The Elixir Fox readily agreed.
Pulling Rou Rou along,
"Spirit Medicine Fox Wanqing, after the Eagle Demon brought us to Lord He's residence, if we can stay by Lord He's side, we will definitely help the Eagle Demon obtain elixirs and acquire more resources for you. If we break this oath, we will never be able to break through to the Demon King realm in this lifetime!"
Rou Rou then swore an oath as well, with similar content. The Spirit Fox thought to itself, 'I must quickly find protection by Lord He's side. Otherwise, I'll be in big trouble. And there's the life-saving grace of escaping from the mountains. I must find a way to repay that debt in the future.'
Hearing the two demons swear an oath, his expression softened considerably. "Very well, I hope you will keep your promise."
Then he said, 'Come on up, I'll take you to the master's quarters.'
"Wait a minute, I'm skilled in alchemy, and Rou Rou excels at cultivation and locating herbs. We were careless this time, heading towards the vicinity of Wan Jian Manor. Rou Rou smelled the Dragon Heart Fruit there. We got too close to Wan Jian Manor and were discovered. But we also roughly know the location of the Dragon Heart Fruit. If you'd be willing to take us there first..."
After obtaining the Dragon Core Fruit, we'll have Lord He find some auxiliary medicinal herbs. We can then refine the Dragon Blood Pill. If the auxiliary herbs are of high quality, breaking through to a higher level isn't impossible.
The eagle demon's expression changed drastically! "Dragon Core Fruit, are you sure? This has a chance to change one's bloodline, potentially transforming into a dragon. It would make breaking through to the Demon King realm much easier. This thing is rare even in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, let alone in this outer region. Don't try to fool me!"
The murder was unexpected!
"Let's go together. There are probably other demons guarding this place. It would be best to inform your master, Lord He."
The eagle demon's expression shifted to one of human-like contemplation, only to vanish instantly. He immediately reverted to his eagle demon persona, without even realizing it.
"Okay, I agree. Hurry up, we'll catch up with our master soon." With a flap of its wings, it took flight. "Hold on tight, I'm going to accelerate!"
Accelerate, accelerate, at lightning speed! At this moment, a mysterious power flashed from the eagle demon's body. It sped away like lightning, disappearing from its original spot, chasing after He Chen.
Three thousand feet above the sky, there is a man with a sword hanging at his waist.
The Myriad Swords Manor was right before them. They circled the manor, scrutinizing it closely. They could vaguely make out that the Myriad Swords Manor seemed to be concealed by some kind of formation!
Immediately, he opened his divine sense and observed carefully. In his divine sense, Wanjiazhuang had a stone staircase leading up the mountain. Wanjiazhuang was built halfway up the mountain. Inside, there were five two-story houses, each estimated to occupy about ten or twenty zhang in length and width.
The roof tiles are carved with dragons, and there are also carvings of phoenixes soaring through the heavens. The interior has several clearly defined functions: a servants' quarters, a training hall, the elders' residences, the residences of newly initiated disciples, and a reception and banquet hall! At this moment, the banquet hall is bustling with activity.
The men's belts were loosened, and each man had one or two beauties beside him, their bodies veiled in light gauze, yet fully revealed. Some were in his arms, some were close by, and some had one in each hand.
In the middle were six young and beautiful women performing a dance—kicking, stretching, doing splits, and backbends. It was almost inhuman. They wore red and pink tops, red, blue, and yellow high-waisted pants, and shorts that were barely half a foot long!
Snow-white, deathly white skin, devoid of any color. An ordinary person would be utterly dumbfounded. Upon closer inspection with divine sense, these were not human beings at all; they were skeletons!
The men in the hall were completely absorbed in this atmosphere, as if it were second nature. They drank, joked, and had a great time.
In an instant, He Chen gasped, thinking to himself, 'The world is vast and full of wonders; I had underestimated everyone. I'd heard of people raising this and that before, but it seems there are still many brave souls out there!'
Then, 'But these women are all new ghosts! So young, who would bear to die if they could live!'
He held the hilt of his gentleman's sword, ready to draw it. Suddenly, he sensed something amiss. The eagle demon approached with incredible speed!
In the blink of an eye, he was before her. Panting, he said, "Master, this humble demon has urgent news to report."
'What is it? Speak slowly, there's no rush,' and then he saw two demons behind him.
He secretly admired it, 'How beautiful!'
The spirit foxes, Wanqing and Rourou, said in unison, "Greetings, Lord He!" Then, Wanqing sincerely said, "Thank you for saving our lives, Lord He."
"No need to thank me, it was just a chance encounter. Don't worry about it!"
Then look at the eagle demon!
