Chapter 2070

"Oh, the Bai family also has a senior who specializes in body-refining arts! But I wonder which ancestor of the Bai family this is? If it is true, I, Han, would truly like to pay a visit. WWW. feiazw. COM Net" Han Li felt a stir in his heart when he heard this and asked with an interested expression.

"Our Bai family's ancestor has some small fame in the Holy Realm. His Heaven-Forging Demon Art has been cultivated to the extreme, and he is only one step away from the Holy Ancestor realm; he is known as the Recluse Covering Heaven. I wonder if you have ever heard of him, Brother Han?" Bai Yunxin said with a faint smile.

"This is truly the first time I have heard the name of Senior Covering Heaven, but to be able to cultivate a body-refining demon art to such a realm, if I could receive a few pointers, it would certainly be a great opportunity. Very well, I, Han, came out this time to travel about, so I will go to Phantom Night City with you fellow Daoists, hoping to meet Senior Bai. But I wonder when you fellow Daoists intend to return to the clan? If it takes too long, I'm afraid it might be troublesome." Han Li pondered for a moment and replied calmly.

"Brother Han, rest assured. We went so deep into the wasteland just for the Purple Spirit Fruits. Now that the spirit fruits are in hand, we naturally won't linger. As long as we rest for a few days to recover our magic power, we can set off to return immediately." Bai Yunxin said with great joy.

Han Li nodded when he heard this, feeling reassured, and said nothing more.

Afterward, urged by the three Void Refinement existences of the Bai family, the group found a stable small mountain nearby, opened a temporary cave, and sat inside to rest and recover.

Five days later, after the Bai clansmen had recovered most of their magic power, they immediately released a giant flying boat several dozen zhang long, carrying the group of demons and Han Li as they flew through the air toward Phantom Night City.

Several months later, above a patch of yellowish sandy soil on the edge of the wasteland, seven Nascent Soul stage demons were fighting noisily in the low sky, divided into two groups.

Three of them wore yellow brocade robes and were driving three identical black flying knives, which emitted pale black demon flames.

The other four wore white long robes and unleashed four crystalline white flying swords, which danced and circled, sending out bursts of snowflakes.

Rolling demon flames and crystalline cold energy intertwined in the air, occasionally turning into masses of demon energy that exploded.

For a time, the seven demons were locked in an inextricable fight, presenting a stalemate.

On the sandy ground nearby below, however, lay the corpse of a giant mouse-like demon beast, over ten zhang long, its fur shining with golden light; one look and it was clear it was no ordinary demon beast.

These seven demons were clearly fighting fiercely here because of this demon beast's corpse.

Seeing that they were unable to win for the moment, a young man in a white robe let out a cold snort and suddenly patted a leather bag at his waist.

Instantly, a mass of black energy rolled out, and upon condensing, it transformed into a majestic two-headed demon lion.

This demon creature was pitch black and five or six zhang tall. As its two mouths opened simultaneously, a loud sound of breaking air arose, and countless pitch-black wind blades shot out.

After the three flying knives were wildly struck by these wind blades like a rainstorm, they flashed wildly and were immediately suppressed by the four flying swords.

"Nightmare Lion! Little thief Ning, you actually dare to bring out the clan's guardian spirit beast? If it suffers any damage, are you not afraid of suffering the pain of demon fire refining your body?" The three yellow-robed demons were startled when they saw the two-headed demon lion, and one of the long-bearded old men scolded them sternly.

"Hehe, with you three pieces of trash from the Bai family, you think you can injure our Ning family's guardian spirit beast? If you are sensible, hurry up and get lost. This Golden Dawn Mouse, this young master is determined to have it." The white-robed youth who had released the demon lion let out a wild laugh as he saw his side gaining the upper hand.

The long-bearded old man's face couldn't help but turn livid when he heard this.

"Big brother, the situation is not good; we should retreat first." A yellow-robed man with a ribbon tied around his head said to the long-bearded old man, his face changing slightly.

"I have been stuck at the late Nascent Soul stage for hundreds of years. This Golden Dawn Mouse is extremely rare, and its inner core is extremely important for me to break through the bottleneck. I hope my two virtuous brothers will help me! After it's done, I will certainly not forget this great kindness." The long-bearded old man's expression fluctuated for a while, and finally, he said with a ferocious face.

"What? Could it be that big brother wants to employ that secret technique of the clan? If you do this, not only will your true essence be greatly damaged, but there will also be endless future troubles." Another yellow-robed man with a thin face interjected in shock.

"If I cannot advance to the Spirit Transformation stage, my time will be up. I have no choice but to gamble." The old man said, gritting his teeth.

"Since big brother has said so, I will naturally do my best to protect you."

"Big brother, be careful. We two will try our best to delay for time."

The other two yellow-robed demons looked at each other when they heard this and agreed in unison.

The long-bearded old man naturally thanked them repeatedly with a grateful face.

The next moment, the two yellow-robed demons suddenly took a step forward, black energy rolling on their bodies. The two black flying knives they drove suddenly saw their demon flames swell by a factor of two, transforming into two ferocious demon pythons that joined forces to barely withstand the attacks of the flying swords and the demon lion.

But looking at their strained appearance, it was clear they couldn't hold on for long.

The long-bearded old man took this opportunity to point remotely at his own flying knives.

With a "whoosh," the flying knives turned into a streak of black light and shot back, disappearing into his body in a flash.

The old man then grabbed into the void with both hands simultaneously, and suddenly, several fine, long, willow-leaf-shaped strange blades appeared between his ten fingers. After taking a deep breath, he shook his wrists and prepared to stab them into his dantian.

But just at this moment, spiritual light suddenly flashed at the edge of the horizon opposite them, and a giant ball of light appeared strangely, turning into a long rainbow and shooting toward their location. Its speed was far beyond the imagination of the long-bearded old man and the others.

The old man was startled, stopped his movements, and hurriedly focused his gaze.

He saw that within the yellow light was a giant flying ship over ten zhang long, its whole body emitting soft spiritual light; one look and it was clear it was not a flight magic treasure that ordinary demons could possess.

On the bow of the ship, a few people were vaguely standing there, pointing and gesturing toward this side.

"It's the clan's Eight Desolations Yellow Wood Boat. Could it be that some senior from the clan has returned from deep within the wasteland!" The long-bearded old man was pleasantly surprised when he saw the giant boat.

The other demons were also startled and stopped their fighting one after another.

However, the other two yellow-robed men were also overjoyed, while the four white-robed demons opposite them looked at the giant boat with uncertain expressions, vaguely appearing panicked and at a loss.

The giant boat flashed a few times and then appeared in a blur above the group of demons, stopping in mid-air as its light faded.

Then, a woman's voice drifted coldly from the giant boat:

"Aren't you the three brothers of the Xi Bai Ming family from Ninth Uncle's house? Why are you fighting with the Ning family people here?"

The person speaking was none other than a beautiful young woman standing at the bow of the ship, accompanied by a young man in a green robe and two other Void Refinement demon men.

It was precisely the three Void Refinement demons of the Bai family, Bai Yunxin and the others, along with Han Li.

After months of traveling day and night, they had finally flown to the edge of the wasteland without incident and unexpectedly encountered these few demons who were fighting.

Bai Yunxin recognized the three clansmen wearing the Bai family's attire at a glance and looked somewhat surprised.

"So it is Thirteenth Aunt-Grandmother and Fifteenth and Seventeenth Uncle-Grandfathers. Your grand-nephew Bai Ming kowtows in greeting. These Ning family disciples wanted to seize our Golden Dawn Mouse; I hope Aunt-Grandmother will support your grand-nephew." As soon as the long-bearded old man saw the faces of Bai Yunxin and the others, he felt relieved and hurriedly knelt in the void to pay his respects.

"Oh, a Golden Dawn Mouse! This beast is indeed rare; for you to be able to kill this beast on the edge is quite a stroke of luck. Are you the little fellows of the Ning family? Since this beast was obtained by our clan's disciples, why are you still babbling here? Get lost!" Bai Yunxin swept her gaze over the corpse of the golden giant mouse below and then looked at the four white-robed demons, her expression suddenly turning cold.

The four Ning family demons' faces naturally turned extremely ugly when they heard this.

The youth who had just released the two-headed demon lion opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but was covered by his two companions, who dragged him away toward the distance without a word, not daring to linger in place any longer.

Bai Yunxin didn't care at all and turned to Han Li beside her, smiling charmingly:

"I let you see something embarrassing, Brother Han, regarding the affairs of some juniors. Now that we have reached the edge of the wasteland, it means we are close to Phantom Night City. Phantom Night City was originally built between the Phantom Howl Desert and the wasteland. As long as we have another month or so, we can return to the city."

"If it takes a month, that is indeed quite fast. However, apart from Phantom Night City, I, Han, am also very interested in the Phantom Howl Desert. I have heard that this desert is one of the most famous forbidden lands in the Holy Realm, and it has quite a few strange things within it." Han Li smiled and replied calmly.

"Cackle, I didn't expect Brother Han to be interested in the Phantom Howl Desert as well. However, if you are not a local of Phantom Night City, entering this desert rashly is indeed extremely dangerous. But if you are truly interested, Brother Han, I can tell you more about it on the road ahead." Bai Yunxin was somewhat surprised, but after rolling her eyes a few times, she immediately replied with a charming smile.

"If Fairy Bai is willing to explain it to me personally, that is exactly what I desire." Han Li did not decline and said with a smile.

Thus, as the giant boat set off again to continue forward, Han Li followed Bai Yunxin into the passenger cabin of the boat."

The two Bai family men, Bai Yin and Bai Ying, looked at each other and couldn't help but reveal knowing smiles.

As for the long-bearded old man, he had long since joyfully bowed to the giant boat from afar and greeted his other two companions to land on the sandy ground below, beginning to dismantle the corpse of the Golden Dawn Mouse.

As for whether this beast had originally died at the hands of the old man and his group or had been killed by the four Ning family members, no one went to investigate.
