Chapter 2098: Volume 10: Battle of the Demon Realm, Chapter 2098: Unexpected Opponent

"Demon Race Saint Ancestor! Fairy, you are not joking, are you? If there is a Demon Race Saint Ancestor guarding Iron Sand Ridge, I would rather not have this true blood." Han Li said with a gloomy face.

"Brother Han, you are overthinking. If a Demon Race Saint Ancestor's true body were really guarding Iron Sand Ridge, why would the Long family and the Spirit Race choose the Illusory Howl Desert route? They would have stayed as far away as possible. According to what I know, there is only an incarnation of the Ling Yuan Saint Ancestor at Iron Sand Ridge. It seems that his true body once received a great favor from the Azure Wing Race, which is why he has an incarnation guarding Iron Sand Ridge all year round. You once killed a Saint Ancestor incarnation in the battle of Heavenly Abyss City, so I think dealing with this incarnation should not be a big problem. Moreover, as long as we are careful in this operation, we may not necessarily alarm this Ling Yuan Saint Ancestor incarnation." The girl in the feather garment blinked her beautiful eyes and said.

"It's just an incarnation! But it's still not easy to deal with. As far as I know, the connection between a Demon Race Saint Ancestor's incarnation and his true body is very tight. And this is different from the Spirit Realm. If the Ling Yuan Saint Ancestor's true body also lives not far from Iron Sand Ridge, once we alarm the incarnation, I'm afraid his true body will rush over immediately. The risk is still too great!" After Han Li's expression changed a few times, he still shook his head.

"Brother Han, don't worry. Since I have made this plan, how could I not have inquired about relevant information in advance? According to the information I have collected, the Ling Yuan Saint Ancestor's true body not only lives very far away from here but has also been in a life-and-death seclusion for ten thousand years. Moreover, this Demon Race Saint Ancestor has had other incarnations fall before, but his true body has never been seen coming out of seclusion. There are even rumors that the Ling Yuan Saint Ancestor's true body has already fallen, and only a few incarnations are left walking in the world. Of course, the truth of this news cannot be verified by ordinary people, and no one really dares to disturb a Saint Ancestor's seclusion cultivation. However, in this way, Brother Han doesn't have to worry about the Ling Yuan Saint Ancestor's true body taking action; we only need to deal with the incarnation guarding Iron Sand Ridge." The girl in the feather garment said with a smile.

"If that's the case, we can still plan for it. However, the reason I was able to kill a Saint Ancestor incarnation in the Spirit Realm that day was the result of other fellow daoists restraining and helping from the side. Otherwise, relying on me alone, I would still be powerless." Han Li said with a relaxed expression.

"This point, I naturally know. So before I set off in the Spirit Realm, I specially went to a close friend and borrowed a strange treasure, the 'Hun Tian Bead'. This one-time consumable treasure has no other effects, but once unfolded, it can form a world of its own. As long as you can entangle that Demon Race Saint Ancestor incarnation for a moment, I can use the power of the treasure to urge a secret technique of the Ye family..." It can trap him for a short half-day. With such a long time, you and I can leave calmly. As long as we don't expose our human identities, I don't believe this Ling Yuan Saint Ancestor incarnation will really chase us to the death for some true blood." The girl in the feather garment said confidently.

"Hmm, it seems Fairy Ye has been planning this for a long time. Since we only need to entangle him for a moment, I naturally have no problem. I believe I can do this." Han Li let out a long breath and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing that Han Li finally had no worries, the girl in the feather garment naturally relaxed, and her beautiful face became like a flower.

Although she had been planning this since she was in the Spirit Realm, if Han Li was really unwilling to help, she would never be able to obtain the Azure Luan true blood smoothly with her own strength, which is why she offered such a high price to invite Han Li to take action at the beginning.

Next, the two began to plan carefully in the flying boat.

Not long after, as the flying boat sped through the air, a yellow line appeared on the ground in the distance, and then a loess plateau slowly emerged.

It looked unusually flat, and it seemed impossible to see the end at a glance.

The flying boat flashed over a slope, and Han Li, who was talking to the girl in the feather garment, suddenly moved his expression and glanced out of the window.

"What's wrong, Brother Han, did you find something?" The girl in the feather garment was stunned and couldn't help asking, and at the same time, she vigilantly released her spiritual sense to scan the nearby void.

"Nothing, I just found a low-level demonic beast hiding in the soil below that is quite interesting. It can blend itself with the surrounding aura, and even I was almost deceived for a moment." Han Li had already withdrawn his gaze and said lightly.

"Oh, there is such a thing! But this is not strange. The environment of the Demon Realm is far harsher than that of the Spirit Realm. Some low-level demonic beasts have some innate divine abilities for self-preservation, otherwise they would have been exterminated by those high-level demonic beasts long ago." The girl replied with a sweet smile.

Han Li nodded and didn't say anything more about it.

At this time, the flying boat flashed and left the slope below without a trace.

And after a cup of tea, the originally empty-looking mound suddenly split open, and a demonic beast about a foot in size, looking like a hedgehog, crawled out from inside. It was covered in gray-white spikes, but there were several extremely long tentacles on its head, and at the same time, two protruding eyeballs stared fixedly at the direction where the flying boat disappeared, actually moving with strange red light, as if it had its own intelligence.

A month later, at a place where the loess plateau and a mountain range were adjacent, a small town about ten miles in size was built in a depression.

There was no wall around the small town, only rows of yellow wooden fences with symbolic significance standing nearby.

Above the small town, colorful escape lights shuttled back and forth from time to time, either soaring into the sky or slowly falling onto a small square in the center of the town.

However, there were several high platforms more than ten feet high standing in the corners around the small town, each with a pitch-black, shiny giant banner, emitting faint black Qi, covering the sky above the entire high platform.

And on these high platforms, there were four or five demonic guards each, standing there with expressionless faces.

With the square as the center, the entire small town had several crooked streets, with shops and restaurants opened by demons on both sides. Tens of thousands of demons were coming in and out of these buildings, looking quite prosperous.

In an inconspicuous restaurant near the edge of the town square, two demons were sitting at a table near the window, closing their eyes and resting.

On the table, there was only a jade-green wine pot and two wine cups as white as jade.

The rich aroma of wine came from the wine cups, and the wine inside was as crimson as amber, which looked like a rare top-grade wine at a glance.

Except for the two, there was no one else on the entire floor of the restaurant, as if the two demons had wrapped up the whole place.

"They should be coming soon." A burly man with thick eyebrows, several small braids, and two thick gold rings in his ears looked at the square a few times, then suddenly asked his companion, showing a look of impatience.

"According to the intelligence from that guy Eye Demon, the group of suspected targets just walked out of the Illusory Howl Desert a month ago. However, as soon as they came out of the desert, they split into several groups and took different routes. The two of us only have to deal with two of them. The others will naturally be dealt with by others in the hall. Calculating the distance, they should arrive here in these two days. This Earth Dragon Town is the only place nearby where one can stay. As long as they come from this direction, they will definitely stop in the town for a while." The demon opposite was a middle-aged Daoist priest with a refined face and a Daoist robe, who opened his eyes and replied.

"Hmph, that's hard to say. What if the target doesn't need to replenish anything and just flies over from nearby? Wouldn't you and I be busy in vain here?" The burly man with thick eyebrows snorted and said.

"Hehe, Brother Luo, don't worry. This town is the closest town to the Illusory Howl Desert in this area. If they are really the target, they should have stayed in the desert for decades. Once they come out, how could they not come to the nearest place to replenish consumed pills, crystals, and the like? Moreover, even if they don't need supplies, they need to understand some recent events, right? They will definitely come to this town." The middle-aged scholar shook his head and replied.

"Brother Leng speaks reasonably, but I don't believe it even more." The burly man rolled his eyes and said unpleasantly.

"Oh, then Brother Luo, do you want to make a bet with me?" The middle-aged Daoist asked with a smile.

"What do you want to bet, kid?" The burly man raised his thick eyebrows, revealing a look of vigilance.

"Let's bet on the reward for our action this time? This time, the reward for this business is quite generous, otherwise we wouldn't have appeared here." The Daoist said with a light smile.

"Brother Leng is playing a good game. I won't make this bet with you. If you change the way of betting, I might be interested." The burly man shook his head like a rattle and stared with his eyes wide open.

"Then what does Fellow Daoist Luo want to bet?" The middle-aged Daoist raised the corner of his mouth and asked with a smile.

"If you want to bet, let's bet on who defeats the target this time!" The burly man rolled his eyes and said.

"Hehe, I consider my divine abilities far inferior to yours, so let's not make this bet." The Daoist said with a chuckle.

"Brother Leng, why refuse so early? Maybe my opponent happens to be much stronger than the one you have to deal with!" The burly man grinned and said.

"I have always believed in myself and not in luck!" The Daoist replied lightly.

"Having cultivated in the hall with you for so many years, you are still so boring, never doing anything without certainty, never willing to take any risks." The burly man shook his head again, looking very bored.

When the middle-aged Daoist heard this, he smiled slightly and was about to say something more when his eyes suddenly lit up, and his gaze swept towards a black flying boat that was slowly landing in the square."

"That's right, it's this flying magic tool, exactly the same as the image passed over!" The burly man sitting opposite also stood up excitedly, and a series of crackling explosions came from his clenched fists. (To be continued)
