Chapter 55: A Letter from the Yan Family Ancestor (Humbly begging for continued reading, monthly tickets, and tips)

Of course, this promise was only to put Nangong Wan at ease; in reality, he would still go out.

On the way, he had already inquired clearly about the situation of that "Huoyun Daoren."

If there were no accidents, the other party would likely send his disciples and descendants, those Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, to hunt him down.

And for these Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, as long as the number wasn't too high at once, for Yan Taibai, they were simply providing progress points for 【Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils】.

Therefore, Yan Taibai was not very worried, but to ensure there were no mistakes, he would still inquire a little in advance.

As long as it was confirmed to be only the Foundation Establishment Stage disciples and descendants under "Huoyun Daoren."

Then he would have nothing to worry about; this was also one reason why he killed that burly "Huojiao Xianzi."

He actually hoped that Demonic Path Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators would hunt him down, so that he could complete his tasks faster.

"As long as you understand."

Hearing Yan Taibai's words, Nangong Wan also breathed a sigh of relief, and her gentle voice sounded once again.

"With your Spirit Root aptitude, you will be able to reach the Golden Core stage sooner or later, there is no need to take such risks. As for Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils or Punish the Treacherous and Eliminate the Evil, it is not too late to do these things after you reach the Golden Core stage. By then, whether it is your lifespan or your strength and divine abilities, you will not need to worry about safety issues. You will also be able to strengthen yourself and the reputation of the sect."

Nangong Wan advised him earnestly.

It was rare for her to speak so much to others, let alone offer advice.

But Yan Taibai was, after all, the junior martial brother of their lineage, and both her master and martial uncle had urged her to keep a close watch on him.

Naturally, she could not just ignore him.

"Junior understands, Senior Sister can rest assured."

Yan Taibai continued to make perfunctory promises. In any case, it wasn't a Heart Demon Vow, so there was no need to worry at all.

"Then you must first swear a Heart Demon Vow, otherwise stay honestly in my cave dwelling to cultivate."

Nangong Wan's clear, limpid eyes were like a fluoroscope, seeing directly through Yan Taibai's thoughts, and she commanded with her red lips slightly parted.

As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Taibai's expression suddenly became awkward and troubled, as if his secret thoughts had been exposed, and he laughed dryly.

"Senior Sister, that is not necessary!"

"Not necessary? It seems you still want to leave the sect to do your 'Slay Demons and Eliminate Devils' good deeds?"

Seeing Yan Taibai's attitude, Nangong Wan's tone turned slightly cold, and she questioned him with a hint of unkindness.

"How could that be? How could Junior be someone who breaks his promises? It's just that a Heart Demon Vow has a significant impact on one's state of mind, so it's better not to swear one!"

Yan Taibai hurriedly found an excuse.

"Hmph, I see you still haven't given up. No, as for the Heart Demon Vow, I will naturally explain it to Martial Uncle Qiong later, but if you want to leave my cave dwelling, you must first swear a Heart Demon Vow that you will not leave the sect for even half a step within three to five years, otherwise, otherwise... anyway, you just need to swear the Heart Demon Vow."

Seeing this, Nangong Wan acted like a temperamental young girl, snorting softly to make Yan Taibai swear the Heart Demon Vow, though she could not find anything to threaten him with.

"Senior Sister, what if something happens to my family, what should Junior do?"

Seeing Nangong Wan's appearance and demeanor, Yan Taibai suppressed the laughter in his heart and found another reason.

"This... this!"

Hearing this reason, Nangong Wan's expression froze. She looked him up and down with her clear, beautiful eyes, and finally sighed, saying with some helplessness.

"Suit yourself! In any case, this is your own business, and I will not interfere anymore. From now on, if you have any matters, go find others; do not disturb my cultivation, and I will no longer concern myself with your affairs."

Once these words were spoken, Yan Taibai knew he had angered Nangong Wan and hurriedly spoke to apologize.

"Little Senior Sister, please do not be angry; Junior truly did not intend to make you angry."

"Come, Little Senior Sister, look at what this is?"

After saying this, Yan Taibai took out a fiery red Jade Slip he had obtained from the Storage Bag of the Yin Yang Demon Sect's "Huojiao Xianzi" and handed it to Nangong Wan.

"This is?"

Seeing this, Nangong Wan hesitated for a moment, but still took the fiery red Jade Slip and probed it with her divine sense to examine it. A quarter of an hour later, Nangong Wan's beautiful face was filled with surprise. The look she gave Yan Taibai no longer held the previous anger, and she thanked him with her sandalwood lips slightly parted.

"I never imagined a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator would actually possess such a Fire Attribute Divine Ability. Thank you, Junior Brother Taibai; this divine ability is indeed of great benefit to me. Forget about the Heart Demon Vow; stay in my cave dwelling to cultivate for the time being to avoid leaving the sect."

"Senior Sister is too polite. After I obtained this divine ability, the first person I thought of was Senior Sister. Now that it is useful to Senior Sister, Junior is too happy to be thanked."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai knew he couldn't leave, so he continued to smile and speak.

"Bah, you only know how to use sweet words; I don't know who you learned that from."

Hearing Yan Taibai's words, Nangong Wan spat out in annoyance.

Facing this junior martial brother Yan Taibai, she truly could not maintain the indifferent, calm, and ascetic demeanor she showed others.

"Hehe, Junior is speaking from the heart."

Seeing this, Yan Taibai finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly retorted.

"Alright, say no more; save those words for Junior Niece Ruyan!"

Nangong Wan rolled her eyes at Yan Taibai.

"Yes, Junior obeys."

Yan Taibai's smile did not fade.

"However, this divine ability is indeed of great use to me; is there anything you want?"

Nangong Wan brought up business again, clearly not wanting to owe Yan Taibai anything.

"Junior wants Metal-attribute Intermediate Spirit Stones."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai did not stand on ceremony and said it straight.

"Especially Intermediate Metal-Attribute Spirit Stones? Could it be that the Metal-attribute Intermediate Spirit Stones I gave you before are all used up?"

Nangong Wan asked with some surprise.

"That is correct, they have already been consumed and refined. As for medicinal pills and the like, I don't have any on me, and besides, Metal-attribute Intermediate Spirit Stones are more suitable. Their effect on me is no worse than miraculous pills."

Yan Taibai nodded in acknowledgment.

His demand for Metal-attribute Intermediate Spirit Stones was too great; that small amount of Metal-attribute Intermediate Spirit Stones wasn't even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.

Naturally, he wanted more.

"I do not have many Metal-attribute Intermediate Spirit Stones on me, but I can exchange for some from the sect for you. How many do you want?"

Nangong Wan did not suspect anything and asked again.

"How about one hundred? Rest assured, I will not let Senior Sister suffer a loss. This is a cultivation technique and divine ability obtained from the Black Fiend Cult; although it is a Demonic Path technique, I believe it still has its merits."

Yan Taibai took out a black Jade Slip and said.

After all, one hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to over ten thousand Low-tier Spirit Stones; Nangong Wan might not necessarily agree.

Before the words had even faded, a streak of fire ignored the formation Restriction of Nangong Wan's cave dwelling and rushed directly into the hall where the two were located.

It was then seized by Nangong Wan, who began to examine it.

A moment later, after finishing the examination, she looked at Yan Taibai with a strange expression.

It made Yan Taibai's scalp tingle, and he could not help but speak up.

"Does it have to do with me?"

"Mm, your Yan Family Ancestor invites you to return for a visit, saying there is an important matter to discuss."

Nangong Wan nodded her head slightly and spoke the contents of the Sound Transmission Talisman.
