Chapter 1237: Xukong Wang Faces Bai Xinlan

"No need to hide any longer, come out, Xukong Wang." Bai Xinlan stepped out of Longshe Shan, walked forward for a while, stopped, turned and said coldly.

Her gaze fixed on the ground behind her; in the dense jungle there was no silhouette, only rustling sounds, and her own voice echoed. After a moment, no one emerged. Bai Xinlan stared at one direction, behind a tree, just staring without speaking.

A moment later, two figures stepped out, and Xukong Wang clapped and said, "No wonder it's you, Bai Xinlan; I didn't expect this Dharma Protector to be discovered by you."

Xukong Wang smiled as he stepped forward, his eyes meeting Bai Xinlan's. In that moment, the two said nothing yet understood each other's thoughts. Bai Xinlan crossed her arms and mocked, "You are still the same you—sneaky, doing things covertly, never appearing openly."

"All these years, you still cannot change your treacherous cunning."

Giving no face at all, he rebuked her directly; Xukong Wang shrugged and said, "Facing a Strong One like you, I cannot be careless."

"Bai Xinlan, after a hundred years apart, you have changed greatly; your cultivation has advanced swiftly, which greatly astonishes this Dharma Protector."

Xukong Wang slowly rose into the air, and in a few steps arrived before Bai Xinlan, asking directly, "I wonder what opportunity you have obtained, Bai Xinlan; could you give some to this Dharma Protector?"

"Both of us are Dharma Protectors; after a millennia of friendship, you have encountered a good opportunity yet are unwilling to give me a share?"

He reached out and demanded directly; he truly hides nothing, speaking plainly and asking outright.

Bai Xinlan's expression turned sour as she stared at Xukong Wang and the one beside him; these two came with ill intent, not to reminisce.

"Hmph," Bai Xinlan sneered, saying, "Xukong Wang, do you intend to make a move?"

"Or have you been lying in wait for me? Wanting to take the so‑called opportunity from my hands?"

Xukong Wang immediately forced a smile, "Of course not; how could I dare act against you? After all, you are the woman this Dharma Protector has set his eyes on. Though we haven't met for years, you remain as beautiful and captivating as ever. How about this: marry the Dharma Protector, and together we will join forces; within the Mangshan Demon Palace, no one will be a match for us."

He kept staring at Bai Xinlan, becoming increasingly enamored with her.

Bai Xinlan despised him, saying, "A fool's fantasy."

"Xukong Wang, don't even think about it; even if this Dharma Protector were to casually choose someone to marry, it could never be you."

Xukong Wang did not get angry; instead he was delighted, enjoying the expression on Bai Xinlan's face.

"Hahaha, Bai Xinlan, throughout the Mangshan Mountain Range, only I can match you; the others are merely ants."

"We are a match made in heaven; if we join forces, the Mangshan Mountain Range will sooner or later become our domain."

"Follow the Dharma Protector, and together we will unify the Mangshan Mountain Range."

He reached out, inviting Bai Xinlan.

Such shamelessness truly disgusted Bai Xinlan.

"Heh," Bai Xinlan mocked, "Is that all you have?"

"You are treacherous and cunning, cruel and poisonous; I certainly don't want to be devoured by you."

Xukong Wang, this person, has not been short of devouring the women beside him; several women before, without exception, were consumed by him.

After this person grows bored, he will act ruthlessly, caring not who you are.

After devouring those women, Xukong Wang attains Advancement; the technique he cultivates is highly unique, and combined with his clan's special ability, it turns him into a pervert.

A complete pervert.

"Haha, Bai Xinlan, you should know this Dharma Protector only eats them because he likes them; it is their honor."

"And you, this Dharma Protector likes you very much; I will not eat you, you are different from them."

"They willingly merge into the Dharma Protector's body; the Dharma Protector naturally fulfills them. If one day you wish to merge into the Dharma Protector's body and fight side by side with the Dharma Protector, the Dharma Protector can also fulfill you."

Xukong Wang remained shameless; he could utter such words with a righteous air.

Bai Xinlan grew increasingly disgusted, her view of Xukong Wang becoming even more loathsome.

This person is not a normal human.

"Get lost," Bai Xinlan waved her hand, telling him to scram.

She does not regard Xukong Wang, nor wishes to marry him; this person is nothing but a daytime dream.

Xukong Wang naturally would not scram; this time he came not for this matter, but for other reasons.

He needs to know the cultivation advancement issue of the Luotian White Snake Clan and the mystery of Lan Tiansheng's disappearance.

"Bai Xinlan, as long as you tell what opportunity the Luotian White Snake Clan has obtained and where Lan Tiansheng has gone, this King will naturally scram."

Stepping forward, Xukong Wang pressed on relentlessly, with Hei Hu following his steps.

The two together forced Bai Xinlan, but she remained unflustered, staring at them and disdainfully saying, "What? If I don't speak, you want to make a move on me?"

"Overestimating yourselves, Xukong Wang, and Hei Hu, you both attack together."

Xukong Wang and Hei Hu fell silent; they knew the woman before them too well—her brazen confidence must be backed by support.

Moreover, this woman is dangerous, and this place is Luotian White Snake Clan's territory; once action is taken, it will attract the clan's attention, which will arrive here swiftly, making them the ones in danger.

Bai Xinlan's clever ploy caused a stir around them even if they took no action.

Xukong Wang knew that once he chose to act, those people would act immediately, and then the two of them would be in trouble.

"Bai Xinlan, this Dharma Protector does not wish to fight you; this King asks just one question: where is Lan Tiansheng?"

He yielded.

There was no choice; the situation was unfavorable, so he could only bow his head.

Bai Xinlan pointed at Longshe Shan: "He is inside; if you wish to find him, enter that Formation."

Having said that, Bai Xinlan turned and left, not sparing a glance at the two.

Such an attitude made Xukong Wang angry; he raised his hand but dared not strike.

Hei Hu stared at Bai Xinlan's silhouette, coldly saying, "Your Excellency, Bai Xinlan is too arrogant; if she were outside, I would have to discipline her regardless of what I say."

Xukong Wang shook his head, "Enough, Hei Hu; you are not her opponent. This woman must have backing; she would not undertake something without certainty. This place remains Luotian White Snake Clan's territory; if we choose to act, we will be the ones at a loss."

"She calculated this point, which is why she…"

"Moreover, I think she definitely will…"

Hei Hu fell silent; the probability was very high.

"Your Excellency, this woman surely harbors a secret," Hei Hu stared ahead, hesitantly saying, "That Formation is dangerous; Lan Tiansheng is still inside, likely still alive. Should we…?"

Xukong Wang turned back and asked, "Hei Hu, are you confident you can break that Formation?"

Hei Hu lowered his head in thought, then shook his head: "Supreme, your subordinate has no confidence."

"But we can directly attack that Formation, forcing the people inside to release Lan Tiansheng."

Xu Kongwang heard this, pondered for a moment, and said: "Good, let's do as you said."
