Chapter 1235

"It's been a while; back then the clan leader was in closed-door cultivation, so I couldn't tell you." Bai Meng immediately replied: "Disciple predicts he is likely trapped inside; Qinglong Daoren may not have killed him yet, but Lan Tiansheng might as well be dead."

"Anyone who goes in there cannot get out, especially Lan Tiansheng; he can't be killed, but can be imprisoned and tortured."

"I estimate Qinglong Daoren can also see that Lan Tiansheng is not ordinary; killing him would be troublesome, better to imprison him; the specifics require me to make a trip to Longshe Shan."

Bai Xinlan raised her hand.

Bai Meng immediately asked: "Master, what's wrong?"

"I'll go; don't act rashly, Xu Kongwang that old bastard is surely watching the vicinity of Longshe Shan, afraid you'll fall into their trap if you go." Bai Xinlan said coldly.

Xu Kongwang is sinister and deceitful, capable of anything to achieve his goal, employing any means.

He would really act against Bai Meng, then use Bai Meng to threaten himself; Bai Xinlan not letting Bai Meng go is out of concern for her safety.

"Master, you also need to be careful; it's best to bring some people along, just in case." Bai Meng reminded.

Bai Xinlan nodded: "Rest assured, master has it in mind; you keep watch over the clan, and over Longshe Shan, I will go."

"Yes." Bai Meng clasped his fists and withdrew.

Bai Xinlan rose, stared at the location of Longshe Shan, and her figure gradually faded.

Around Longshe Shan.

A figure appeared; he stared at the formation before him, not too close, he did not directly touch the formation nor appear before others, merely glancing, yet he took in the surroundings.

Beside him appeared a burly giant, clad in black, his height exceeding Xu Kongwang's by two heads, at least over two meters tall, his face full of ferocity, with two intersecting scars on his face making him even more ferocious and terrifying.

"Supreme One, Lan Tiansheng last disappeared here."

Xu Kongwang nodded slightly: "Is Lan Tiansheng dead, or trapped in this formation before us?"

Hei Hu, which possibility do you think is highest?

Hei Hu said coldly: "Either way, it means little to the Supreme One; Lan Tiansheng acted rashly, already defying the Supreme One's orders—if he died, he deserved it."

"But anyone who dares to kill the Supreme One is essentially opposing him; the formation likely contains a Strong One, seemingly closely related to the Luotian White Snake Clan; otherwise, the Luotian White Snake Clan would not have stationed people to guard this place, appearing to monitor but actually protecting it."

"No wonder our people cannot scout this place, nor enter it."

Xu Kongwang kept his eyes on the formation ahead; around were many members of the Luotian White Snake Clan, who formed an encirclement, not allowing demonic beasts to enter; any demonic beast wishing to enter must pass through their permission.

The defensive situation here is second only to the core area of the Luotian White Snake Clan.

These circumstances cannot be concealed from him; having come in person to observe, only then did he know this situation, and Xu Kongwang is furious inside—these matters Lan Tiansheng never told him, no news at all, how could he not be angry?

Hei Hu observed the change in the Supreme One's expression and continued: "Lan Tiansheng has always been two-faced; Supreme One, why not this time?"

Xu Kongwang shook his head: "Enough, don't say more; Lan Tiansheng is still useful—if he isn't dead, first get him out, then we'll talk; these years he has also suffered."

"Yes."

Hei Hu's face remained normal, seeming not to care at all.

In the depths of his eyes, a cold smile flickered.

He stared at the formation ahead, wanting to break it, but rashly entering would not be possible.

Since Lan Tiansheng is trapped, he might also be trapped.

Lessons from the past, Hei Hu will not fall for the same trick again, nor will he suffer the same fate.

Two hours later.

Xu Kongwang's brows were tightly knit; he raised his head and saw a figure descending, then entering the formation.

Hei Hu also saw this.

The two exchanged a glance, brows furrowed; Hei Hu doubted: "Supreme One, isn't that Bai Xinlan?"

"Yes, she seems not to have noticed our presence."

Xu Kongwang pressed his hand down: "It seems this place is indeed related to Bai Xinlan; what secret lies inside that warrants her such great turmoil?"

"Moreover, isn't this woman in a weak state? Why her?"

Bai Xinlan's condition is abnormal, very abnormal.

Xu Kongwang knows the drawbacks of the cultivation technique Bai Xinlan practices; at this time she should be weak, she ought not to have left the Luotian White Snake Clan, yet she did.

Moreover, she came to this place, entered the formation ahead, claiming there is no problem inside—he would not believe that.

"Supreme One, could it be that Bai Xinlan's strength has recovered, and perhaps even advanced further?"

Xu Kongwang's expression grew solemn: "Not impossible; combined with the Luotian White Snake Clan's changes these years, they must have gained some opportunity; otherwise, they could not have collectively advanced."

"What treasures are inside the formation?"

Hei Hu's heart stirred; if Bai Xinlan can quickly increase her strength, then so could he.

In an instant, he understood Lan Tiansheng's thinking; if it were him, he too could not resist.

After all, this is a shortcut to increase strength; if successful, then?

Thinking this, Hei Hu's heart raced, but he could not show it too obviously; at least, in front of the Supreme One he still had to pretend, yet his thoughts had already flown into the formation.

Inside Longshe Shan.

Bai Xinlan entered Longshe Shan, passed the formation, she turned back and saw Lan Tiansheng inside the formation, utterly miserable.

Her cultivation had declined, her expression sorrowful, her body covered in wounds; it seems these years she has truly been tormented horribly.

"Lan Tiansheng is truly miserable; indeed, he is still alive."

"This person wanted to enter Longshe Shan, underestimated the formation, naïve."

Bai Xinlan was in a good mood; seeing Lan Tiansheng suffer, she felt delighted.

All along, Lan Tiansheng thought his talent allowed him to go anywhere, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, but in the end he fell for the trap and was confined.

And being confined for years, truly miserable.

Even seeing Lan Tiansheng, she could not help but sympathize with him.

"Bai Xinlan Daoist friend, congratulations, your cultivation has surged forward; you will surely become a demon emperor in the future." Qinglong Daoren immediately came forward to greet.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Qinglong Daoist friend is not lacking either; compared to our last meeting, your progress is great, in no way inferior to mine." Bai Xinlan offered a flattering remark.

「Not at all, not at all, I'm nowhere near you, Dao friend. 」

「Qinglong Dao friend, don't be humble—your prowess makes even me wary. 」

「No, Bai Xinlan Dao friend's strength leaves me far behind; I will still need their support. 」

「I also want Qinglong Dao friend to support me. 」

They mutually flattered and tried to outdo each other, Qinglong Daoist met his match, and Bai Xinlan is certainly not someone who knows nothing.

On the contrary, it's quite interesting.

In this regard, it's far more interesting than Bai Meng.
