Chapter 624 Not Among Us!
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the once turbulent East China Sea fell into an eerily calm.
The inner demon's cold, probing demonic light landed on the golden giant bird opposite, thinking that Lord Wolf King's luck was as stable as ever.
Nothing good has happened since I arrived in the East China Sea.
Xue Lan was unaware that her inner demons were currently tormenting her. The woman struggled to her feet to steady her turbulent soul, her greyish-white eyes quietly gazing at the enormous three-legged golden crow opposite her.
It was larger than Uda, and its soft golden feathers shone gently in the quiet, deep night. Its long tail feathers drooped down from the air and fell into the sea, turning that small patch of water into a dazzling gold.
Within that small patch of gold, Xue Lan discovered a section of tree root protruding into the seawater.
The woman slowly straightened up, her voice steady and gentle:
"It turns out to be here."
"The Fusang tree can only be seen when the sun sets and the golden crow returns."
"Fuso?"
The inner demon swung its fluffy, soft tail behind it, allowing the people it was protecting to see what was happening before them.
This sight was quite telling; everyone's face showed varying degrees of surprise. Xue Tong's was the most astonished.
The girl pointed to where the golden crow was, a rare hint of fear appearing in her voice:
"Is this... Fusang?"
In everyone's sight, the beautiful, golden bird landed on a grotesque and terrifying giant tree. The thick roots that should have been rooted in the sea had grown backward, carrying the corpses of thousands of aquatic creatures and twisting and weaving behind the golden crow into a huge cage, completely enveloping the golden crow and the branches of the Fusang tree.
“That’s right…” Xue Lan said calmly.
"This is Fusang."
After saying this, the woman slightly raised her head and exchanged a glance with the inner demon, then took a step forward.
She took only one step forward, and the golden crow atop Fusang seemed to be stimulated by something, instantly taking flight and bursting into flames. In the blink of an eye, it dispelled the vast sea mist condensed by Xue Lan's divine soul power.
Xue Lan heard a clear and ethereal voice:
"magic."
Lord Wolf, you understand.
The woman turned her head and glanced at her inner demon:
"It seems like he doesn't like you."
The inner demon swung its tail back again, pulling Xue Tong and Zhu He, who were about to step forward, back into its arms:
"I like you, fine. Then go by yourself."
"I will keep a good eye on your people."
Xue Lan: I've gotten used to you breaking down so easily.
With no energy left to spare for the mischievous inner demon, Lord Wolf offered a perfunctory reassurance:
"Okay, okay, thank you."
The inner demon was annoyed by Xue Lan's coaxing tone, and really wanted to use its big tail to slap the pretentious Wolf Lord into the sea.
After imagining it in his mind, the big black wolf cackled and tightened its tail, while also setting up a protective barrier for the people in its arms.
She only didn't listen to Xue Lan because she didn't want to lose face.
Xue Lan was both amused and exasperated by the inner demon's little tricks, and really wanted to give it a good scathing rebuke.
But now is not the time for tantrums and jokes.
With a faint smile fading from her lips, Xue Lan once again faced the Golden Crow, which clearly did not look like a friendly opponent.
The woman gently raised her hand and pressed it down.
A bone-chilling cold emanated from beneath Xue Lan's feet, instantly suppressing the raging seawater of the Golden Crow. Clusters of exquisite ice crystals grew from the sea, enveloping Xue Lan within them.
Lord Wolf's jet-black hair began to gradually turn white, and even some frost formed on his long eyelashes.
The golden crow withdrew its blazing flames and slowly spoke:
"You are... Xue Lan... that one from Beiyuchuan."
Under the shade of the giant Fusang tree, Xue Lan was like a mustard seed in the vast world, insignificant and unknowable, yet he brought it an immeasurable sense of oppression.
Its intuition told it that continuing this confrontation would not end well.
Xue Lan heard the golden crow opposite her let out a long cry, then spread its wings and flew high into the air, its body shimmering with light that kept flowing.
A moment later, a girl dressed in a magnificent golden feather robe emerged from the dazzling light.
Looking at the girl, Xue Lan's first thought was:
She looks a lot like Uda.
The girl's features were not as gentle as Wu Da's, and a hint of coldness seeped from her golden eyes.
She spoke slowly, her voice tinged with anger:
"When did Lord Changjun of the Northern Region River ally with the demons?"
The accusation of being utterly humiliated was quickly refuted by Lord Wolf:
"We are not allies!" Xue Lan pointed to the inner demon behind her:
"It was all an accident. Xue Lan absolutely did not collude with the demons."
Jinwu looked at the enormous black wolf behind Xue Lan, which was overflowing with demonic energy.
Strangely enough, although this demon was covered in demonic energy, his original aura was exactly the same as Xue Lan's, and he truly belonged to the Yuanming Realm.
The girl's heart, which had been in her throat, calmed down slightly, and she looked up at Xue Lan:
"Who knows?"
Xue Lan almost laughed in anger: "Hey you..."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'?" The golden crow descended from mid-air and walked a short distance in Xue Lan's direction.
"Lord Wolf King has come to my East Sea with something that is emanating demonic energy... I don't know what it is."
"It's only natural for demons to have doubts."
The tense atmosphere between the two sides was shattered in a few words between them. Xue Lan couldn't help but chuckle. Just as she was about to relax a little, she felt a chill coming from behind her.
It's an inner demon.
The voice of the inner demon carried three parts indignation, two parts confusion, and five parts grievance:
"What do you mean by 'something whose nature is unknown'?"
"It's someone like you," Xue Lan said dismissively, trying to appease the inner demon.
"You are unprecedented and unparalleled, truly the first of your kind in the millennia-long history of the Yuanming Realm..."
The woman laughed and retorted, "Is it so hard to understand that I don't know what you are?"
The inner demon's doubts were disrupted by the Wolf King's rapid-fire explanations, leaving it as tangled as a ball of yarn.
its not right!
The inner demons are screaming in my heart.
Why is it that when both Xue Lan and Xue Tong get scolded, Xue Lan learns something new, while Xue Lan only gets scolded?
Lord Wolf has the absolute right to explain the question of inner demons.
Because inner demons are the celestial soul.
The three souls each have their own roles. The Heavenly Soul, which is in charge of connecting heaven and earth and guiding cultivation and enlightenment, is naturally not as good as the Demon Soul, which is in charge of memories and experiences, when it comes to being eloquent.
As for why the inner demons didn't think of this aspect.
Perhaps it's because Lord Wolf is naturally confident.
I'm confident in this life. Even more so in my previous life!
After calming her inner demons and quelling her turbulent soul power, Xue Lan decided to have some serious business with Jinwu.
The woman flicked her sleeve, glanced at the enormous Fusang Divine Tree behind the Golden Crow, and spoke with a smile:
"What do you call a girl?"
"My name is Wu Jin."
“Fellow Daoist Wu Jin…” Xue Lan nodded and spoke, his voice calm and composed:
"I've come to Fusang. Is that esteemed person still there?"
The night over the East China Sea grew increasingly cold. Just as Xue Lan finished speaking, a damp sea breeze suddenly swept up behind Wu Jin.
Amidst the swaying, menacing branches, a gentle voice reached Xue Lan and the others' ears:
"I wonder which one Lord Changjun is referring to?"
