Chapter 367: One Like Ice, One Like Fire
Yu Zhao looked at Hua Tu again.

Hua Tu let out an “Ah” and said, not very sure: “Demonic Beasts do have this thing called undergoing tribulation, but usually only Great Demons with pure bloodlines will go through tribulation. This little snake…”

He paused, then shook his head: “I cannot see what his origin is.”

These words were his way of admitting that he could not see what was going on with Bai Ran and could not give any useful advice.

Yu Zhao then placed her hope on the well-traveled Long Fei Fei.

“Do you know any way to help him ease this heat?”

Long Fei Fei rubbed her chin. After thinking for a moment, she said: “I actually know of a healing holy land for Demonic Beasts. Many injured Demonic Beasts will travel from far away to that place to heal.”

Hua Tu stared with wide eyes.

How did he not know the Demon Race even had a healing holy land?

While he was still stunned, Yu Zhao could not wait to ask: “Where is that place?”

Long Fei Fei shook her head and swayed a little: “First, undo the Illusion Art on me. Then I will think about whether I want to tell you.”

She had barely finished speaking when Yu Zhao neatly dispelled the Illusion Art she had placed on Long Fei Fei.

Long Fei Fei had not expected Yu Zhao to be so easy to talk to. Her thoughts turned, and she held up three fingers: “Besides that, you also have to agree to three conditions of mine.”

Yu Zhao gave her a calm sideways glance.

“One.”

Long Fei Fei had been planning to bargain with Yu Zhao, but when she met Yu Zhao’s eyes, she dropped the idea right away.

One was one. Anyway, she still had not decided what to ask Yu Zhao to do.

“It is in the Western Region, not far from the little baldy’s Clarity Sound Temple.”

Bu Yan had already gotten used to his new nickname. After he heard this, not only did he not get angry, he even showed a thoughtful look.

Seeing the change in his expression, Yu Zhao asked: “Bu Yan, do you know where it is?”

Bu Yan put his palms together and gave Yu Zhao a Buddhist salute: “If Benefactor Long is talking about Chaozong Gorge, this poor monk does indeed know that place.”

“Yes, it is Chaozong Gorge!”

Long Fei Fei did not hide it either and admitted it cleanly.

On both sides of Chaozong Gorge, the steep rock walls stuck out in strange shapes. From far away, they looked like one Buddha statue after another. It was like the grand sight of ten thousand Buddhas bowing together.

Because of this story, the gorge had a karmic link with Clarity Sound Temple. Many Buddhist Cultivators went there because of its fame, and Bu Yan was one of them.

However, he did not go there by choice. He had been dragged there by Senior Brother Bu You.

Senior Brother Bu You’s reason was that going more often to places covered in Buddha’s light would help Bu Yan’s cultivation.

Whether Bu Yan’s Buddhist Dharma had improved or not was another question, but he had indeed seen many Demonic Beasts active in Chaozong Gorge.

At the time, he had not thought much about it. Looking back now, it was a bit suspicious.

As soon as she heard this, Yu Zhao decided to take Bai Ran to Chaozong Gorge and give it a try. Even if there was only a one in a thousand chance, she did not want to miss it.

Also, since Chaozong Gorge was close to Clarity Sound Temple, she could visit Clarity Sound Temple on the way.

“I am going too!”

Long Fei Fei raised her arm eagerly.

Hua Tu refused to fall behind: “And me!”

The whole time, Si Tu Xuan had been completely ignored. He finally found an opening and quickly asked: “Fellow Daoist Yu, what are you talking about? Can I come along?”

Long Fei Fei and Hua Tu turned their heads at the same time and glared at him hard, as if their eyes were saying: What does this have to do with you?

“Fellow Daoist Si Tu.”

Only now did Yu Zhao notice that Hua Tu had actually come together with Si Tu Xuan. She had no idea how this man and beast knew each other.

“Fellow Daoist Yu, I already heard from my cousin about what happened before,” Si Tu Xuan said. “I apologize to you on behalf of my clansman. When I go back, I will report everything to the chieftain and ask the chieftain to punish them heavily.”

When he said this, Si Tu Xuan’s cheeks burned hot. He had never thought that after rushing here from so far away, he would end up coming just to clean up his clansman’s mess.

Si Tu Jian Nan lowered his head awkwardly.

In these past days, people from the Si Tu Clan had spent plenty of time being dragged around by Yu Zhao, and now Si Tu Xuan had come in person to apologize. So Yu Zhao chose not to hold onto it anymore. She took out the Sacred Relic of the Situ Family and handed it back into Si Tu Xuan’s hands.

Long Fei Fei’s gaze moved from Yu Zhao’s hands to Si Tu Xuan’s hands. Her eyes shone, and she was almost drooling.

After she had stolen the Sacred Relic of the Situ Family, she had not even had time to leave behind a fake copy. Now that Yu Zhao had removed the Illusion Art on her, she did not know if she would ever get another chance to…

“Xuan’er, hurry and put it away!”

Si Tu Jian Nan stepped forward and blocked Long Fei Fei’s burning gaze.

Long Fei Fei clicked her tongue.

This old fellow had really learned his lesson.

[Forget it. There will be plenty of chances later. I had better not hand Yu Zhao any more leverage.]

“You are all going to Chaozong Gorge, then what about me? You are not going to throw this lonely old man away halfway, right? If you do, I will start wailing!”

At this moment, Lou Yu Shan’s anxious voice sounded.

[Oh no,] Yu Zhao thought. [She had almost forgotten about Senior Uncle Lou.]

Right now, Lou Yu Shan was eager to return home. He clearly did not want to follow them and run all over the place.

But Bai Ran’s condition could no longer be delayed.

Just as Yu Zhao was feeling stuck, Si Tu Yu stepped forward.

“Senior, if you do not look down on our Si Tu Clan, we are willing to escort you back to the Five Elements Dao Sect.”

On their way back to the Si Tu Clan, their path would pass right by the Five Elements Dao Sect.

Lou Yu Shan was overjoyed: “Good, good, good! I will go with you!”

He did not care who went back with him. As long as they delivered him back to the Five Elements Dao Sect in one piece, that was enough.

With this matter settled perfectly, Yu Zhao felt a big stone drop from her heart.

After a short rest, everyone split into two groups and set off.

Shao Yi Chuan stared at the backs of Yu Zhao’s group as they walked away and asked in a low voice: “Big Sis, should we chase after them?”

As he spoke, he even made a throat-cutting gesture.

Shao Yi Man slapped the back of his head: “Chase them so we can die?”

With Hua Tu joining them, Yu Zhao’s team now had three Nascent Soul Cultivators.

If they dared to play any tricks from behind, that would be like digging their own graves.

Shao Yi Chuan said unwillingly: “But that Long Fei Fei…”

“With Yu Zhao there, no one can touch her, and she cannot touch anyone either,” Shao Yi Man said. “Just watch. One of them is like ice, the other is like fire. They will fall out sooner or later.”

Hearing this, Shao Yi Chuan could only swallow his words, still feeling unwilling.

In his heart, he swore: [Next time I run into Long Fei Fei, I will definitely make her pay.]

…

Late at night.

Dark clouds covered the sky.

It was so dark that you could not see your own hand in front of your face.

Ye Cong Xin licked the corner of her lips in satisfaction. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint pink color rose on her pale skin.

As she passed by Wu Shao Zhen’s room, she swept her Divine Sense inside and saw Wu Shao Zhen sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, cultivating, a halo of Spirit Power glowing around his body.

Only then did she pull back her Divine Sense with an easy heart and tiptoe back to her room.

The moment she withdrew her Divine Sense, Wu Shao Zhen, on the wooden bed, suddenly opened his eyes. A cold light flashed in his gaze.

This was not the first night that Bai Qing Qing had come home late.

Ever since they escaped from the leopard’s hands and changed to a new place to stay, Bai Qing Qing’s movements had become more and more strange. Sometimes she would even disappear for a whole day, then use some casual excuse to brush him off.

Wu Shao Zhen never exposed her. He only watched quietly.

In the end, he discovered Bai Qing Qing’s secret.
