Chapter 601 It would be better to be reduced to ashes
Good causes are easy to sever, but bad consequences are hard to eradicate.
The moment Xue Lan saw the thin man opposite her, only one thought occupied her mind.
She guessed that the demon god on the other side was the same.
Inside the magic core space, the two were separated by a bewildered and lost Gong Yuan. The middle-aged man had a feeling that this was not a good place, but he didn't know what to do. In the end, he could only turn his gaze to Xue Tong.
There was no other reason than that, among the three people around, the girl in the moon-blue dress appeared to be the gentlest and kindest.
Of course, this is assuming we ignore the large amount of blood stained the hem of her skirt.
Xue Tong, who was standing behind Xue Lan, looked at the thin man who suddenly appeared not far away as if facing a formidable enemy. When she received the purple-robed man's pleading look, she was even a little taken aback.
Xue Lan, whose smile was somewhat eerie, raised her hand and patted the girl's hand:
"Take him to the back to hide."
Xue Tong noticed the worried look on Xue Lan's face, but still obediently looked at Gong Yuan. After pondering for a moment, she slowly spoke:
"My lord, please do not say any more. I will take you away from here."
The official, dressed in a deep purple robe, nodded decisively and quickly took a few steps forward to hide behind Xue Tong. He then followed the girl back a considerable distance.
Only after Xue Tong and the other person had completely disappeared into the darkness did Xue Lan have the mind to deal with the Demon God in front of her.
To be precise, it was a remnant soul of the demon god himself.
It's much larger than the one inside the Garan Secret Realm.
The enormous eye in the sky gently turned towards the direction Xue Tong and the other person had left. Layers of black mist spread from its blood-red pupils, transforming into ferocious, roaring venomous snakes in mid-air, which then turned into a wisp of black fog and chased after them.
Xue Lan had not yet released her powerful divine sense, and her perception of the surroundings was still blurry. The woman slightly raised her eyes to look at the sky, her expression filled with a hint of pity.
"Take them all back."
She spoke with a remarkably calm expression, arms crossed as if discussing whether or not to rush to the Xuanling Peak cafeteria for dinner that evening.
However, those who are familiar with Xue Lan, especially those who are familiar with Xue Lan's past life, know...
This is the highest level of warning from Lord Wolf.
The sword energy from his memory was already brewing within the wide sleeves of the woman opposite him, carrying a chill that could freeze the entire East China Sea in an instant.
He kept quiet, waiting for the moment when Xue Lan would be most unhappy.
The demon god's blood-red eyes glanced at Xue Tong and the other person who had already gone far away, and silently raised his hand and waved.
The demonic energy that had been chasing after them stopped for a moment, then most of it turned back, while a small portion continued the pursuit.
"almost……"
Xue Lan spoke softly in her heart.
Xue Tong should be able to handle the small amount of demonic energy that was released, after all, it's her most capable temporary worker, Honorary Sister!
A temporary worker and honorary sister who had escaped not far suddenly felt an itch in her nose and couldn't help but sneeze.
Xue Tong's expression was rather unpleasant.
She was an outsider in the Yuanming Realm, and logically, she shouldn't have any connection with anything there. So, if someone in this world were to speak ill of her behind her back and make her sense it…
The girl's sarcastic voice rang in Xue Lan's ears:
"Someone was chirping on my back just now, who could it be?"
Xue Lan: Well-behaved.
Xue Tong: "This is so hard to guess!"
Xue Lan silently placed her arms, which she had been crossing, to her sides, her smile looking somewhat guilty.
Lord Wolf looked at the demon god opposite him and said with a smile:
"Would you like some tea? My treat."
The demon felt as if he had seen a ghost. The young man's blood-red eyes rolled slightly twice, then his pupils dilated slightly.
For no other reason than that the Wolf King opposite him had already sheathed the terrifying sword energy in his hand and pulled out a uniquely patterned stone table from his sleeve. He then began to brew tea on it.
The steaming tea, emanating a rich aroma from the white porcelain cup, seemed particularly strange in this setting.
The demon god finally couldn't help but speak.
The young man's voice was incredibly hoarse, like someone rubbing a rough hemp rope against the trunk of a tree. The sound made Xue Lan's head throb with pain.
"Long time no see, Lord Wolf."
Xue Lan glanced at the young man, and his immense divine power spread out in an instant, turning the ground within hundreds of meters around him into a layer of crystal-clear ice.
A pale white shadow slowly rose behind the woman in black, like light white clouds drifting in mid-air, and finally transformed into a giant silver-white wolf with cold eyes.
Xue Lan's voice was cold:
"How can you say it's been a long time?"
"In the Garan Secret Realm, when I killed your clones, and not long ago..."
"The Demon God is like a bone-deep ailment, a stubborn plaster..."
"How can I say it's been so long?"
The calm expression on the demon god's face cracked in an instant, like parched land.
Xue Lan had anticipated this.
The two were inherently irreconcilable enemies; one planted a demon in the other's heart, while the other sealed it away for a thousand years. They spared no effort in trying to completely destroy the other.
Xue Lan: Actually, I couldn't keep acting for a long time.
The enormous blood-red eye in the sky was filled with demonic energy, and sharp ice clusters instantly sprouted from the ground.
The demon god looked at a cluster of ice crystals not far from him and slowly spoke:
"Lord Wolf, aren't you afraid that the owner of this body... will be reduced to ashes?"
Xue Lan knew he was referring to Gong Yuan.
"vanished into thin air..."
Xue Lan softly uttered these words, her greyish-white pupils shimmering like glass:
"Rather than let him become a springboard for you to break free from my seal, I'd rather be a puppet for the rest of my life."
"That would be worse than being reduced to ashes!"
"It really hasn't changed at all."
The demon god spoke in a hoarse voice, his blood-red eyes filled with a sickly smile.
"This is the real Xue Lan!"
The young man slowly raised his hand above his head...
"Whoosh!"
Several arrows trailing a deep blue light flew past the purple-robed man, pinning all the pursuing demonic snakes to the ground.
The girl's moon-blue skirt rippled like water, and her expression was resolute as she stood in front of him.
Xue Tong looked up at the strange blood-red eye in the sky. A white line had appeared in the crimson eyeball at some point, and then gradually turned into a spindle shape that kept expanding to both sides.
As the spindle shape continued to change, the entire eyeball began to twist eerily, eventually transforming into a long halberd. It turned into a red light and flew towards the direction the two had fled from.
"Is he plagiarizing you?"
Xue Tong turned and ran with Gong Yuan, pushing her still-unskilled escape technique to its limit.
"I don't know... Demons all like to play with their own eyeballs."
Xue Lan replied to Xue Tong casually, then raised her hand and gently touched the space between her eyebrows.
"Actually, I couldn't stand it anymore a long time ago."
"Xiao Tong, do you know the name of the strange fire I obtained in the Wan Gong Fang?"
Xue Tong slowly shook her head.
Xue Lan already possessed the Golden Crow Essence when she obtained the Strange Fire in the Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop, so she hadn't really noticed the Strange Fire that this person had acquired.
The blue and red colors can burn away demonic energy...
While the girl was pondering, Xue Lan had already drawn out all the strange flames from between his eyebrows.
The woman's voice was gentle:
"That's a bird too..."
"Blue feathers and red stripes foretell fire and calamity."
The blue and red flames formed a raging sea of fire in front of Xue Lan, engulfing even the demon god. The flames swayed and burned endlessly, eventually transforming into a giant bird with one leg.
Xue Tong stared blankly at the giant bird that illuminated the entire magic core and uttered:
“Bifang…”
