Chapter 356: If He Can Stay Alive, That Is Already Lucky
Shao Yi Man finally spoke after the hall had been silent for a long time: “I do not agree! This method is too risky!”

She was the Boss of the Three Heroes of the Shao Clan, and her personality was calmer and steadier than the others.

The two Shao brothers also hurried to echo her.

Si Tu Jian Nan’s eyes showed hesitation: “We can discuss this matter again.”

He also felt that Yu Zhao’s proposal was too bold.

Right now they were only trapped here. Their lives were not in danger, so they could take their time and make long term plans.

Yu Zhao was not a stubborn or unreasonable person. With half the people now against her idea, she naturally could not keep insisting.

She gently stroked the sleeping Bai Ran with her fingertips, and thought in her heart: [Little Rascal, you have to hold on!]

Yu Zhao’s plan was put on hold, but for the moment no one could think of a better method.

So everyone buried their heads in thought, each trying to find a way to break out of this situation.

At the same time, on Spirit Mountain.

Nine-Tails looked at Bai Ling, whose expression was haggard and whose beauty had faded. Nine-Tails let out a soft sigh in her heart.

The White Peacock Clan loved to dress up and paid great attention to appearance. It was rare to see one of them in such a sorry state.

She gently comforted: “I know you are worried about Bixi Dragon-Tortoise, but you also need to care about yourself.”

Bai Ling nodded slightly, but the worry between her brows still could not be hidden.

Nine-Tails wanted to persuade her again, but when she thought of the missing Bixi Dragon-Tortoise, her own heart also hung high.

Bixi Dragon-Tortoise carried the bloodline of the Azure Dragon. To become the Beast King, it also had to go through countless hardships. The first trial was the bloodline test that Quan Ye had once gone through.

Back then, Quan Ye only barely survived that calamity with Nine-Tails’ help.

To make sure nothing went wrong, Bai Ling had even prepared a second set of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to help Bixi Dragon-Tortoise absorb its bloodline power. Who knew Bixi Dragon-Tortoise would suddenly vanish.

They had no idea how it was doing now, or whether its bloodline had awakened.

“ Nine-Tails! Bai Ling! The two of you get out here!”

Nine-Tails and Bai Ling were sitting facing each other, sighing over and over, when a rough shout suddenly came from outside.

Sensing a familiar aura, Nine-Tails thought: [Crap.]

Before she could decide what to do, another long howl sounded from outside.

If he kept yelling like that, the commotion would be heard even outside Spirit Mountain.

Bai Ling sighed: “In the end, we still could not hide it.”

Nine-Tails tried to reassure her: “I have been neighbors with the Three-Eyed Leopard for many years. He is someone we can trust.”

Bai Ling nodded and opened the Barrier Formation.

The next moment, a flower leopard, several times larger than Hua Tu, leaped inside. He waved his paw, raised another Barrier Formation, then asked anxiously: “Did Bixi Dragon-Tortoise go missing?”

“Yes.” Bai Ling closed her eyes and nodded heavily.

“Ah, my heavens!”

Hua Guang let out a strange yell and scraped at the ground in panic.

He had already thought it was strange. Recently, the White Peacock and Nine-Tailed Fox clans had been sneaking around everywhere. Yet he had not heard anything about Bai Ling and Nine-Tails forming a partner bond.

So he had secretly sent Hua Tu out to investigate.

In the end, Hua Tu did not do his job. Instead of checking on the two clans’ unusual movements, he chased after a Human Race cultivator named Yu Zhao, wasting so much time.

Every time Hua Guang thought about this, he grew even angrier.

It was one thing if Hua Tu was unreliable, but how could Bai Ling and Nine-Tails also cause such a huge problem!

That was Bixi Dragon-Tortoise!

The Azure Dragon’s only… oh, he almost forgot, there was also a descendant with an impure bloodline.

“Have you heard? The Heaven-Devouring Rat and Moonshadow Rabbit took that fellow with half the Azure Dragon blood, Quan Ye, back with them. They said they want to train him to compete for the Beast King position.”

Hua Guang’s thoughts jumped very quickly. Just a moment ago he was still angry about Bixi Dragon-Tortoise, and in the next moment he switched to another topic.

“Beast King? If he can stay alive, that already counts as good luck.”

Not long ago, Quan Ye’s background had suddenly been exposed, causing a small stir in the Demon Race.

Many demonic beasts were eager to move, but they still feared the strength of the Five Elements Dao Sect and did not dare go to the sect to demand a person.

In the end, only when the Heaven-Devouring Rat and Moonshadow Rabbit clans formed an alliance did they dare bring him back.

But as for carefully teaching him, not only Nine-Tails, even the most naive Little Foxes would not believe that.

The demons had coveted the Azure Dragon bloodline for a very long time. It was only because Bixi Dragon-Tortoise’s status was so noble, and because the White Peacocks were protecting it, that they did not dare lay a hand on Bixi Dragon-Tortoise. They had far fewer scruples about Quan Ye.

They might leave Quan Ye with his life out of respect for the Five Elements Dao Sect. As for everything else…

Nine-Tails gave a cold laugh.

Seeing that Nine-Tails clearly did not like Quan Ye, Hua Guang grew curious. He was just about to ask if Nine-Tails knew some even more secret news, when Bai Ling spoke solemnly.

“Hua Guang, I need your help. Help me, Su Ming, search for Bixi Dragon-Tortoise. It has already been missing for a month, and we still have no clues at all.”

Right now Bai Ling had no interest in news about Quan Ye.

She cared only about Bixi Dragon-Tortoise.

Hua Guang’s leopard face became very serious: “I will send out flower leopards to search for Bixi Dragon-Tortoise, but I am not doing it for you. I am doing it for the Demon Race.”

“Thank you!”

Hua Guang came in a rush and left in a rush.

After he went back, he immediately sent out the Spotted Leopard Squad to look for Bixi Dragon-Tortoise’s trail, and at the same time issued another mission.

Anyone who saw Hua Tu was to beat him up first, then tie him up and drag him back.

If Hua Tu dared to run, they were to break his two leopard legs before dragging him back.

In short, he had to be given a good beating.

Hua Tu still did not know that his Chieftain had already issued a kill order on him from a thousand miles away. After he came out of the Heaven and Earth Cage, he analyzed the information his little brothers had gathered, then chose the place Yu Zhao was most likely to appear.

Luckily, his luck was good. The end of the route he chose was exactly the Desert of Lost Souls, where Yu Zhao was currently located.

…

Outside the Desert of Lost Souls, the same familiar little stall was still there.

A handsome young man with a noble air took the wrapped Cooling Pearl and Ganlin Stone from a young Female Cultivator’s hands, then rushed into the Desert of Lost Souls in high spirits.

He lowered his head and glanced at the Jade Token. Two red dots on it were slowly moving closer. The corners of Si Tu Xuan’s mouth could not help but curve up.

Back then, choosing to befriend Fellow Daoist Yu of his own initiative had really been the wisest decision.

Fellow Daoist Yu not only had amazing talent, but also a broad mind that could match the Sage. She had actually been willing to share the location of the Ancient Dao Arena with him for free.

And this time, the team did not include Yao Wu Ji.

Nor people like Zhou Jin Yue and Mu Ye.

He felt both flattered and delighted.

So when he received the news, he rushed to the Desert of Lost Souls without stopping to rest, planning to meet up with them.

Judging by the distance, he would be able to see her in seven days.

Even the teasing wind and the endless yellow sand could not put out the fire in Si Tu Xuan’s heart.

At that moment, a young man appeared within his Divine Sense. The youth had honey colored skin and gave off a wild aura all over his body.

He was lying on top of a sand dune. His collar was wide open, revealing a large stretch of chest muscle.

“Water, water, water…”

Si Tu Xuan carefully sized the youth up from head to toe. Then he turned his toes outward, planning to walk around him and enter from the other side.

“Do not go…”

The youth opened his dry, cracked lips and softly called out.

Si Tu Xuan did not change his mind just because the youth looked like he was on his last breath.

This person gave him a strange feeling he could not describe.

To stay safe, he did not plan to mind this business.

He had already noticed that the other party did not have a Cooling Pearl on him, and he was not carrying a Ganlin Stone either.

This disaster was something the youth had brought on himself.

It had nothing to do with him.
