Chapter 1432: Bai Xinlan

Diewumeng refuses to go in, wanting the other two to go in to die; that would be a death sentence, they wouldn't fall for it.

Although the three are an alliance, each still has their own calculations and their minds are not aligned; they walk together for shared benefit to counter the schemes and killings of the Mangshan Demon Emperor, and under life‑and‑death threats they naturally act this way, not because they inherently have tangled interests or truly trust each other.

To be honest, among the three there is no mutual trust; they only join forces out of helpless necessity.

If they were strong enough, it wouldn't be like this.

"Heihu, Feng Wang, if we don't go inside we can't know what lies within; perhaps our opportunity is there. If we can win over the beings inside the Formation, our chances of overthrowing the Demon Emperor increase."

"The person inside also doesn't want to be constantly watched by the Demon Emperor, who could eliminate him at any moment; why not join forces? He is clever and knows what to do."

Diewumeng remains unyielding, giving a look to Feng Wang and Heihu, signaling that one of them should go in while she waits outside.

Feng Wang and Heihu exchange a glance; Heihu sneers, "Butterfly King, how about this: we go in to talk to the one inside, and we'll act as your Dharma Protector outside, what do you think?"

Feng Wang immediately says, "Exactly, Butterfly King, you are the strongest among the three of us; if you go in, we'll feel more at ease and it shows the greatest respect to the one inside."

"If the two of us go in, wouldn't we just be a laughingstock to the one inside?"

"Butterfly King, even if you encounter danger, you can escape quickly."

Heihu and Feng Wang swiftly form an alliance; neither wants to become cannon fodder or go inside.

They cannot refuse, so they must let the Butterfly King go in and see what she says.

Diewumeng's expression darkens; those two are truly cunning, refusing to go in.

"If the three of us don't go in, we can't cooperate, can't know what's inside, nor the opportunities there; how about all three of us go in together?"

Feng Wang and Heihu feel a chill on their scalp and immediately shake their heads.

"Forget it, Butterfly King, I don't want to go in."

"Diewumeng, I still don't want to die."

The two outright refuse; they don't want to go in, at least not without knowing the situation inside, so they can't.

They are well aware of the Formation's dangers.

Even the Mangshan Demon Emperor dares not rashly enter this Formation; whether the three of them could emerge alive is uncertain.

Diewumeng stares at the two, "This won't do, that won't do," and, unable to contain her irritation, says, "What exactly do you two want?"

Heihu immediately says, "Butterfly King, we two won't go in anyway; if you're willing, then you go in."

"Right, Butterfly King, you can't force us in." Feng Wang points at the inside of the Formation, murmuring, "Just by looking, this Formation is clearly dangerous; it's not something you or I can handle, and going in would… be very dangerous."

"We know our own strength; rather than risk going in, we'll wait outside. I'm sure Bai Xinlan will definitely come out."

"Perhaps we can establish a connection through Bai Xinlan and the one inside; then would we still fear the Demon Emperor?"

Diewumeng falls silent, turns and stares at Feng Wang; his words are not without reason.

Bai Xinlan will certainly emerge; instead of them going in directly, it would be better to intercept her then and ask her.

Bai Xinlan has certainly entered more than once; she's already familiar with the interior. If she leads the way, she might see the beings inside the Formation, and if they can cooperate, they won't have to worry about Pill Refining later.

At their current realm, elixirs are extremely scarce, especially those suitable for them, even more so.

"So we keep waiting?"

"Exactly."

"Feng Wang's suggestion is spot on," Heihu nods, approving the plan.

Waiting is, for now, the safest method—nothing else.

"Alright, let's settle on that." Diewumeng also doesn't want to enter the Formation alone; it's indeed very dangerous.

The three decide to wait outside, eyes fixed on the interior of the Formation.

Longshe Shan.

Bai Xinlan successfully meets Qinglong True Person and directly voices her thoughts.

"Qinglong Daoist, the Demon Emperor intends to act against us; our very existence seriously threatens his position, he won't spare us."

"He has already begun moving; I believe he'll soon send people to hunt us down."

"We must prepare in advance; the three Demon Kings of the Mangshan Demon Palace have already formed an alliance, and Butterfly King Diewumeng has also sought my cooperation to jointly oppose the Mangshan Demon Emperor."

"Qinglong Daoist, this time you cannot stay out of it; this matter started because of you, so it will inevitably affect you. After the Mangshan Demon Emperor deals with us, he'll naturally trouble you."

"When that time comes, do you think you can still stand by idly?"

Bai Xinlan sees Qinglong Daoren remaining indifferent and can't help but grow anxious.

"You can't simply stay here; if the Luotian White Snake Clan can no longer protect you, you'll be targeted by all monsters. Those Demon Kings are not easy to deal with; once they learn how powerful your Pill Refining technique is, they'll surely try to claim you."

"Between you and me, we're already like grasshoppers on the same rope—when one prospers, the other does; when one is harmed, both suffer."

"If we cooperate to oppose the Mangshan Demon Emperor, once the matter is settled you can continue living peacefully, and I will send you more resources."

"I'm sure you also desire more spirit veins and more heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

Inside the Mangshan Demon Palace there are many valuable items, all of which Qinglong Daoren needs.

They have cooperated many times before; collaborating again poses no problem.

There is a foundation of trust between them; Bai Xinlan still feels very confident in Qinglong Daoren, who harbors little ambition, or rather, seeks a quiet life in an absolutely safe environment. As for outside affairs, he doesn't wish to involve himself.

Just earn his elixirs peacefully; other matters, such as the various issues of the Mangshan Demon Palace, he doesn't want to handle.

These years, Qinglong Daoren has stayed within Longshe Shan, never stepping out.

The Luotian White Snake Clan can rise with Qinglong Daoren's help, then seize control of the Mangshan Mountain Range, becoming its sovereign.

It would also make their clan the strongest Monster Race of the Mangshan Mountain Range, restoring its former glory—a lifelong wish of hers.

The restoration of the Luotian Ancestor gave her hope, and with the Luotian White Snake Clan's rapid rise in recent years, Bai Xinlan's heart naturally grew ambitious, seeking to dominate the Mangshan Mountain Range and become its emperor.
