Cold Clouds

Chapter 234: The Demon Tribe of the Western Continent

Baichuan carried Ah Qing on his back and sighed as he looked at the uninvited guest in front of him.

Today, the demon clan is divided into two factions: the Bai Ze clan and the Phoenix clan. As Bai Ling's only child, he is naturally one of the important assassination targets of the Phoenix clan. The Phoenix clan has also sent many assassins.

Just like now. Bai Chuan sighed. Last time, two gods failed to defeat him, but this time, three gods... They really think highly of him. He hasn't even passed the god transformation tribulation yet.

"A Qing, don't sleep anymore, get up and move around." Bai Chuan spoke softly, and the way he spoke so softly made people doubt whether it could really wake anyone up.

Ah Qing was woken up. She looked up at the three gods in front of Baichuan in a daze. She seemed not to have woken up yet, but she still got off Baichuan's back.

It is not a good behavior to disturb other people's sleep.

Ah Qing chased after the two gods alone, while Bai Chuan fought with the remaining one. Bai Ze's remains were currently being nurtured within the Bai Ze tribe, not with Bai Chuan, but he could defeat an early stage god with his own strength.

It was another victory. The three gods sent by the Phoenix Clan fled in panic, but Baichuan always felt something was strange. He always felt that every time the assassins' main target was not him, but Ah Qing.

But it's true, to them, Ah Qing is a much greater threat than him...it makes sense.

The three gods fled back to the Phoenix tribe's territory, walked to a tall phoenix tree, bowed and saluted: "My lord, we are back."

"Come up." A slightly tired voice sounded. The three of them looked at each other, climbed up the tree, and walked into the tree house.

The three of them entered the room and saw Yu Lan sitting on a chair with her eyes closed. Yu Lan now looked much more haggard and thinner than when Lin Xiaoxiao had seen him before, but her aura was stronger.

He had already fully entered the realm of half-step refining emptiness. In order to completely expel the ominous aura that had accumulated in his body because of the Black King's Palace, he had put in a lot of effort.

Although Yu Lan was reluctant to admit it, Lin Xiaoxiao's flame was indeed stronger than his, and it was basically impossible for him to cultivate to that level in the lower realm... Therefore, Yu Lan went to the underworld and snatched the water from Huangquan, refining it into water spirit roots.

Yellow Spring Water is one of the few water spirit roots in the lower world that can compete with pure Phoenix Fire. In order to refine the Yellow Spring Water, Yu Lan actually died once and almost couldn't be saved.

The phoenix is ​​of the fire element, and forcibly refining the extremely cold water of Yellow Springs is very exhausting to the body, so he basically does not leave the Phoenix clan's territory now, and concentrates on recuperation.

"Master Yu Lan..." One of the three Spiritual Transformations spoke up, "Based on the previous and current intelligence, we can infer that the 'A Qing' beside Bai Chuan should also be at the half-step refining level, but for some reason, she seems to have difficulty exerting her full strength, perhaps she is still unstable."

"Well... I understand. Go down." Yu Lan spoke lightly, her voice a little hoarse.

Compared to when he had just refined the Yellow Spring Water, his current condition was much better. Although he had not fully recovered, it was almost there.

"Hu..." Yu Lan slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. When he opened his eyes, a gleam of fire flashed in his eyes. He had found the whetstone, but he still lacked a good knife.

The whetstone refers to Ah Qing, who is suspected to be half a step away from reaching the realm of refinement. In order to express his respect, Yu Lan decided to find a good knife.

There are not many swords that are stronger than the Red Feather Golden Phoenix Sword that he once held. What's more, what Yu Lan wants now is a pair of swords, one water and one fire, so that he can unleash his full strength.

However, there happened to be such a powerful person, Guan Feiya, a genius of the human race seven hundred years ago. He was skilled in using a pair of dual swords, and his water and fire spiritual roots were well matched. Unfortunately, he died young due to his physical condition, and the pair of dual swords were left behind and lost in the land where the demon race and the human race once fought a great battle.

“Hey… Master Yu Lan has been staying in that tree house for such a long time… Could it be that he has a hidden illness?” One of the three gods of the snake clan who had left the tree house and were already several hundred meters away from the phoenix tree suddenly spoke in a very low voice, “And he doesn’t care about anything…”

"How about we..."

"Hush..." The Sparrow God immediately signaled the Snake God not to continue, "Master Yu Lan has reached the half-step of the Void Refining Realm. He can still hear you even from such a distance!"

There was a loud bang, and Yu Lan turned into a flame and shot up into the sky. The Three Transformations God looked back in fear, feeling grateful for his survival.

The pressure was too terrifying.

The battlefield where the demons and humans once fought is now called the Ancient Battlefield by the two races, but neither side has explored it on a large scale. After all, the humans and demons are still hostile to each other, and there are many undead wandering in the ancient battlefield. It would be troublesome if a rash exploration aroused the hatred of the high-level undead inside.

Yu Lan landed on the ground with a terrifying aura. The surrounding undead dared only look at her from afar, or did not even dare to look at her and quickly fled.

Where are those two swords? Yu Lan glanced around coldly and dispersed his spiritual power. This action attracted the attention of countless high-level undead, who gradually surrounded him.

Yu Lanhan's face sank, and his body was flashing with fire and water: "Get out of here, if you don't want to die, be smart."

The undead gradually stood still, but did not leave. They just stopped and looked at Yu Lan, growling softly, as if they were waiting for more companions to come.

"Okay, since you want to die again, I will grant your wish..." Yu Lan sighed, his aura rising continuously.

……

"Oh? So... Yu Lan went to the ancient battlefield," Bai Ling held up her chin as she sat on the throne, "Well... send more people to keep an eye on it, and come back and tell me if anything happens."

The spy below responded and left immediately.

Diyue came out from behind the throne and approached Bai Ling: "Should I go too?"

"No," Bai Ling responded quickly, "It's fine as long as we have those people watching over there."

Besides, Bai Ling would definitely be worried if Diyue went there, so now was not the time to be distracted. Bai Ling felt the breath in his body and adjusted himself quietly.

It won't be long before he has a breakthrough.

"Is that so~" Diyue put her face close to Bai Ling's and said with a wicked smile, "What are you thinking about?"

"I miss you." Bai Ling replied softly.

"You should think more about the affairs of the clan!" Diyue blushed for a moment, stood up, and seemed to be about to flee, "I'm going to train the new recruits first!"

Humph, you want to fight me? Bai Ling watched Di Yue go away, smiled, stood up and left the palace, walked to an open space, took out a long stick and knocked on the ground, and a portal appeared in front of him.

Those spies definitely can't do anything to Yu Lan, so they have to rely on him. Let's leave this to Fen Ling... Bai Ling stepped into the portal, and in order not to be discovered, her entire appearance changed. She didn't look like Bai Ling at all, and even her weapons were not the usual ones.

Yu Lan directly picked up a corpse demon and started using it as a weapon. A pile of skeletons, corpses, blood and flesh were smashed everywhere, and the scene was a mess.

"Hey... That's too scary, that Yu Lan..." A spy said tremblingly, "Those are all ghosts in the Spiritualization Stage..."

"No... don't panic. We have the magic weapon given by Lord Bai Ling, so we won't be discovered!" Another spy swallowed his saliva and said, "As long as we don't take the initiative..."

The flames filled the air, completely burning the corpses and ghosts, turning them into ashes and scattering them. Yu Lan glanced coldly at the ghosts around him who no longer dared to move forward, and walked away.

As long as the power of the dual spiritual roots of water and fire is fully released, the pair of double swords will definitely react no matter what. As long as the pair of double swords can be found, defeating Lin Xiaoxiao is not a dream.

Definitely must find it.

……

At the Black King Palace, Lu Jinhua leaned to one side. The news from the East Continent had already arrived. Lin Xiaoxiao was really a monster...

Tsk, he gets angry just talking about this. What the hell did that damn idiot Tang Zhen do...ah, Tang Zhen is already dead, and the body can't even be found if one wants to whip it.

Tsk, so annoying.

Lu Jinhua muttered to himself, stood up, and looked in one direction with a frown.

Yu Lan was out of control, could it be that Lin Xiaoxiao hit him in the head? But for the time being, they were still cooperating, so there shouldn't be any big problems...

Ah... what a hassle. Lu Jinhua sighed and disappeared into the darkness.

……

"Ah...Ahhhhhh!!!!!!" The huge, roaring corpse monster grabbed the ground with its four legs, its densely packed hands behind it waving wildly, and dozens of eyes stared fiercely at Bai Ling, who had disguised herself.

The resentment was so strong. Bai Ling tried to drive it away, but it was useless, so he had to prepare for battle.

"Huh?" Yu Lan turned her head to look in the direction of Bai Ling. There was quite a big commotion. There must be a powerful guy over there. She hoped that there would be no unnecessary trouble.

It should be over there... Yu Lan turned his head again and looked in one direction. He felt that there was a breath there that echoed with his water and fire breath.

The ghosts along the way did not stop Yu Lan. After all, a phoenix that had reached the half-step refining stage was too powerful for these undead spirits. Moreover, the other party also had the Yellow Spring Water... If they were touched, they would die! Could it be that this guy was sent by the underworld to capture them? Otherwise, how could there be a phoenix that could use the Yellow Spring Water?

Landing at the place where he sensed the breath, Yu Lan looked at the ground, took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and then punched down. Phoenix fire and Yellow Spring water burst out in an instant, creating a deep pit.

I saw it! Yu Lan's face lit up with joy, but suddenly a voice came from behind her.

"Hey, what did you find? Can you give it to me?" After changing her appearance, Bai Ling stood behind Yu Lan with a slight smile, pointing the long stick in her hand diagonally at Yu Lan.

"Who are you?" Yu Lan turned his head, his face gloomy, and his pressure was firmly fixed on Bai Ling.

"Hey, hey, don't be so angry... Don't you just want a thing?" Bai Ling's teasing expression also disappeared slightly, and she became serious.

"It seems like you want to fight..." Yu Lan was full of energy, with red light flashing in his eyes.

"I didn't say that. Why don't you just give me the things?" Bai Ling sighed, "But if you insist on fighting, I'll accompany you."

……

"Then what?" Diyue asked, leaning on Bai Ling's shoulder.

"Then..." Bai Ling took out a fiery red knife, "Then I snatched one back. Isn't that amazing?"

"Don't be so proud if you didn't get them all back~" Diyue looked away and looked up at the sky.

"Hey, hey, hey, Yu Lan is now half a step into the realm of refining emptiness? I'm only at the peak of the realm of spiritual transformation, but I can actually snatch things back from him, isn't that amazing?" Bai Ling said helplessly, and she even looked a little aggrieved.

"Won't you also reach the half-step level of refining emptiness in a while? What's there to talk about?" Diyue said indifferently.

"But it's not here yet..." Bai Ling said with a wry smile.

"I don't care~ It's not enough for me to praise you~ Besides, Lin Xiaoxiao could beat Yu Lan half to death at that time, so why can't you do that?" Diyue put his head on Bai Ling's shoulder.

"Lin Xiaoxiao should be the one discussed outside the fighting capacity..." Bai Ling was saying this when Diyue held his face and turned it away, so that the two of them were facing each other.

"You are the strongest, so you can't lose..." Diyue leaned forward and put her forehead against Bai Ling's, "I believe you won't lose."

Bai Ling was silent for a moment and swallowed his saliva, but Di Yue pushed him away at this time: "No~ Not yet~ Let's wait until the tribe is settled~"

Diyue ran away with a wicked smile, and Bai Ling could only smile helplessly and watch her receding back.

It's really tiring to press the gun.

……

Yu Lan returned to the Wutong tree, frowning and looking unhappy. He didn't know the origin of the guy he just met, but his strength should not be underestimated.

What a pity that Flame Shadow was taken away... But fortunately, Cold Shadow is still in my hands. The water attribute can exert its full power and should be useful against Lin Xiaoxiao.

The Flame Shadow Blade and the Cold Shadow Blade are collectively known as the Flame and Cold Twin Shadows. The two swords were forged from the same furnace. When the sword spirits are connected, the power of 1+1 will be greater than 2.

Moreover, there is only one Cold Shadow Sword which can only exert the full power of water attribute. In Yu Lan's opinion, it is obviously not enough to deal with Lin Xiaoxiao. He must find a weapon that can unleash the full power of Phoenix Fire. 1+1 is always better than just 1.

Yu Lan was silent for a moment, hardened his heart, changed back to his original form and picked up two of his own feathers. After all, he was now the closest thing to a pure-blooded phoenix in the lower world besides Lin Xiaoxiao. His feathers and blood were also excellent materials for making fire-attributed weapons.

Since I can't find it, I'll just make it myself! It hurts a bit, but it's okay. Yu Lan took a breath, held the feather in her hand, and stood up.

……

"What has Lord Yu Lan been doing recently? He spends every day in the refining room?" Several refiners from the Phoenix clan gathered together to discuss, and their voices sounded very confused.

"I don't know, but it's not our business."

A week after Yu Lan entered the weapon refining room, a strange phenomenon occurred in the Phoenix clan’s territory. A beam of fire shot up into the sky from the weapon refining room.

"A divine weapon... has arrived?" Several weapon refiners were stunned for a moment, then exclaimed and ran around to tell each other.

Inside the weapon refining room, Yu Lan exhaled a breath of foul air and burst into laughter. Bai Ling, who was far away, looked unhappy when she saw the fire.

Yulan, ah Yulan...you are really amazing.
