Chapter 1244: Tiandu Gate, Tiandu Dragon King

Diewumeng subconsciously looked outside; she had heard a very interesting piece of news, a piece of news about Lan Tiansheng, and this news was also related to the Luotian White Snake Clan.

That place hides secrets; as for her, she most enjoys the feeling of uncovering secrets.

It really gets people hooked.

"Lan Tiansheng, how much longer are you going to hide?"

Turning back, Diewumeng shouted toward a certain spot; there was no response, she raised her slender jade hand, her expression still holding a smile.

"Do I have to ask you to come out?"

In the mountains and forests, a figure appeared; Lan Tiansheng walked out, he could no longer hide.

"As expected of you, Diewumeng, you never fail to see through me each time." Lan Tiansheng smiled and said: "How did you find me?"

Each time he cannot escape her eyes; this woman is too strange, also very eerie. Lan Tiansheng knows his own methods; even among Demon Kings, not necessarily able to detect him. He truly wants to hide; even Xu Kongwang couldn't hope to find him.

Yet Diewumeng each time can find him, and she finds him immediately; it's highly unreasonable.

This woman is the person Lan Tiansheng fears most, without equal; in the entire Mangshan Demon Palace, aside from the Demon Emperor, this person before him is the most… eerie. Every time he encounters her, Lan Tiansheng feels an indescribable sensation, as if his schemes, all his plans, were mere empty setups.

"Lan Tiansheng, you wouldn't be trying to fool me, would you?" Diewumeng said with a grin; as soon as she spoke, she directly blocked Lan Tiansheng's mouth, leaving him unable to speak.

"Eh?" Lan Tiansheng was somewhat taken aback; before he could speak, he was seen through, and moreover, Diewumeng's words were exactly his own.

"Actually, you don't need to say it; I already know. Do you think I can take that position, persuading me to cooperate with you to seize it together?"

"The position of Demon Emperor is supreme; who wouldn't want it?"

"We are both Demon Kings; that step is very close, we could… sit upon it, you say I'm right, right?"

Diewumeng gave a grin showing her teeth; that smile was like a spring breeze.

Lan Tiansheng opened his mouth, but for a long time could not speak.

Facing this person, there is always a sense of defeat; without saying anything, she sees through it.

"Hehehe." Diewumeng let out a clear laugh; she was very happy, and whenever she saw someone's embarrassed expression, she wanted to laugh.

Teasing others is one of her pleasures.

"Looks like I was right, Lan Tiansheng; I heard you went to a very interesting place—is that place fun?" Diewumeng didn't dwell on the previous issue, nor on the Demon Emperor matter, but directly asked about something else.

Such a turn of events made Lan Tiansheng feel a chill down his back.

His whereabouts were known to only a few, yet she could know them immediately.

"Have you been following me all along?"

Lan Tiansheng's face darkened; this woman is very dangerous.

Diewumeng spread her hands: "No, you're overthinking; you want to hide, you think I can follow you? In the Mangshan Demon Palace, your hiding ability, Lan Tiansheng, is unmatched; I cannot find you."

Lan Tiansheng did not believe those words.

Every time, she can see through his whereabouts.

"Then how do you know?" Lan Tiansheng asked about Longshe Shan; this woman is interested in Longshe Shan, which is not a good thing.

Thinking of Qinglong Daoren's orders, Lan Tiansheng couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

This woman must absolutely not go to Longshe Shan; otherwise, Qinglong Daoren would think he is incompetent, and if he were directly killed, wouldn't that be disastrous?

"It's simple; I am very familiar with Bai Xinlan, and the affairs of the Luotian White Snake Clan cannot escape my eyes."

Diewumeng walked up to Lan Tiansheng's side and sniffed.

"I smell something different on you, like the scent of some kind of pill; may I have one?"

Reaching out face‑to‑face, that pure and innocent face bore a touch of simplicity.

Silly and naive.

But Lan Tiansheng would not think her silly and naive, nor would he think her easy to deal with.

This person is not easy to deal with.

On the contrary, she is very hard to entangle.

Those who know Diewumeng's methods all think she is hard to deal with; everything is a disguise.

This woman excels at disguising herself, never having shown her true face.

Lan Tiansheng froze for a moment, staring at the woman before him; that smile was so warm, yet so dangerous.

Within the smile lay a hint of killing intent.

"You can refuse to give me one; I can go to that place and look, I should be able to find some." Diewumeng said indifferently.

As soon as she said that, Lan Tiansheng's whole body tensed, he stared fixedly at Diewumeng.

Diewumeng continued: "Don't think about killing me; you know, you can't kill me."

Lan Tiansheng's breath weakened, his whole body relaxed.

"Here you go."

He felt helpless, only able to give her one pill.

"Now that's more like it, Lan Tiansheng; I have high hopes for you."

A Nine‑Grade Dragon Blood Pill, just given away like that—even a single one causes Lan Tiansheng great pain.

He couldn't refuse; if this woman couldn't get the pill, she wouldn't give up.

What a huge loss.

Diewumeng put away the pill, satisfied, and said: "Lan Tiansheng, you should stay hidden these days; don't show up, or you'll die."

After saying that, Diewumeng turned and vanished, leaving a bewildered Lan Tiansheng.

His expression changed several times; Lan Tiansheng gritted his teeth, turned and left, disappearing into the mountains.

Not long after he left, Xu Kongwang appeared, staring at the empty ground, his gaze turning cold.

"Hmph, you ran fast, Lan Tiansheng."

"And this woman Diewumeng is truly a nuisance."

Xu Kong Wang let out a wave of venting, then disappeared.

Tian Du Men.

Wu Mie Zhenren brought Bai Hang Holy Maiden into a cave heaven, which lay beneath the lake.

At the foot of Da He Feng Mountain there was a great lake.

Around it were Tian Du Men's three mountain peaks: Da He Feng, Emei Feng, and Tian Du Feng, which stood encircling the lake.

The lake surface was year‑round shrouded in mist, unable to reveal its true appearance.

The area was also sealed by a Formation; without an order, no one could approach.

Beneath the lake water lay a cave heaven; to be precise, it was a Dragon Palace.

Hidden beneath the lake bottom was the abode of Tian Du Men's divine beast, the Tian Du Dragon King, and also its palace.

Bai Hang entered this place for the first time; she had long heard legends of the Tian Du Dragon King, yet had never seen its true form.

"Master, is this the Tian Du Dragon Palace?"

Bai Hang Holy Maiden curiously surveyed the surroundings; it was even more splendid than she had imagined, glittering with gold and jewels, with various luminous pearls lighting every corner, plus a rich aura of spiritual energy and water element; upon entering the Dragon Palace's precincts, the immense pressure from outside vanished.

Wu Mie Zhenren turned back and cautioned: "Wait a moment, don't speak recklessly."

Bai Hang Holy Maiden nodded, followed her master's steps, and entered the palace interior.

Upon the dragon throne sat a figure—that was the Tian Du Dragon King, yet he looked like a youth.

The youth was like jade; at first glance that was the feeling—Bai Hang Holy Maiden stared for a moment, having imagined many appearances, but never this one.
