Chapter 161: I’ll Help You Go Down and Explain to Them Personally!

Fallen Ridge.

The wind and sand gradually rose, carrying a faint smell of blood.

Cui Hao sat carelessly on a bare stone slab, lowering his head to gnaw on dry rations.

”Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!” Cui Hao spat out the wind and sand that had blown into his mouth when he opened it.

He looked up at his senior sister beside him, who was calm and composed, using her spiritual power to block the wind and sand.

Cui Hao said with an aggrieved tone: ”Eldest senior sister, I’ve been with you for all this time, and if I don’t have any merits, I at least have some hard work to show for it. You’ve already put up a spiritual power shield, so you might as well cover me too. Look at all this sand I’m eating.”

As if snapping out of a daze, Li Yingling glanced at Cui Hao, manipulating her spiritual power to extend and also shield him, isolating him from the wind and sand.

She began to explain with a serious expression: ”After reaching the Golden Core Stage, spiritual power automatically protects the body. This is a passive effect. I did not actively deploy my spiritual power just now.”

Cui Hao said with a suspicious look: ”Senior sister, I’m going to reach the Golden Core Stage too, so please don’t lie to me. I always feel like you just want to see me make a fool of myself.”

”You kid aren’t stupid after all, you know your senior sister is fooling you.”

The one who spoke to explain was not Li Yingling, but a slightly familiar voice.

However, this sudden and soundless movement still startled Cui Hao and Li Yingling.

The two of them quickly looked in the direction the voice came from.

They saw Bai Xuanling not far away, a slight smile on her face, her eyes looking teasingly at Li Yingling—Caught you bullying your little junior brother, haven’t I?

Li Yingling ignored Cui Hao, who was beside her, looking at her with a resentful expression.

A smile quickly appeared on her face, and her tone became sweet as she said: ”Elder sister Bai? What brings you here?”

Bai Xuanling walked over, her tone holding a teasing meaning: ”Your master is busy with other matters. He was afraid you would be at a disadvantage, so he had me come watch over you.”

She walked up to Li Yingling, looking at her with an unconcealable smile, and continued to tease: ”You’ve learned your master’s key skills quite well. Your face isn’t even red now.”

This kind of verbal attack naturally couldn’t break through Li Yingling’s defenses; her master’s teasing was sometimes what truly hit the mark.

She naturally hooked her arm around Bai Xuanling’s: ”Elder sister Bai~ What are you talking about? How come I don’t understand?”

A comfortable smile could not help but appear on Bai Xuanling’s face. As Li Yingling’s attitude was very pleasing, she skipped this topic and said: ”Are you the one arranging everything on this side?”

”It’s also time for some practical training. One can’t just cultivate with their head down all the time.”

”That’s reasonable. Even in my sect, once you reach the Golden Core Stage, you have to go out and wander a bit.”

Bai Xuanling naturally agreed with this point. After all, cultivating immortality sounds pure, but it is in fact a path paved by countless causes and effects.

The path of cultivation is very long, so long that most cultivators must measure it in centuries or even millennia.

Even the tremendous changes of a century are enough to cause great events that sweep up countless people.

The connection of countless worldly events is like a great net; the more events that accumulate, the denser the net becomes.

When the net is dense enough, it will catch the small fish that try to escape.

Aptitude can decide most things, but it can absolutely not decide everything. The cases of prodigies falling are even more numerous than one can count.

Bai Xuanling had once seen a peerless prodigy whom even she had to look up to fall, yet she had lived until now.

One’s own practical training is the most reliable life-saving treasure.

Bai Xuanling glanced at a certain mountainside not far to the east and asked: ”Are you planning to take your junior brother to launch a sneak attack on the little demons over there?”

Li Yingling thought for a moment. The one coming to hand over things today seemed to be the Great Martial Demon King—that cowardly Golden Core Stage bull demon.

In front of Bai Xuanling, could a Golden Core Stage cultivator only be called a little demon?

”That’s an internal agent from the Demon Kingdom that we’ve turned. They’re here to exchange information this time,” Li Yingling explained.

Bai Xuanling looked at Li Yingling with some surprise, not expecting that this child’s methods were so formidable.

However, she still asked with some doubt: ”You’ve already turned three Golden Core cultivators. Why is this battle being fought so slowly? Wouldn’t a pincer attack from both sides have ended it by now?”

Li Yingling was stunned upon hearing this. When did she ever turn three Golden Cores?

At best, she had managed to gather two Golden Cores and one old Foundation Building fox, that was all...

Li Yingling and Cui Hao exchanged a glance and quickly understood the situation.

At least one of her two demon king informants had likely been caught. But judging by the nature of those two demon kings, no matter which one was caught, they would have likely betrayed the other without hesitation...

If this logic was followed, then her informant demon kings should have been completely wiped out.

Bai Xuanling looked at their expressions, understood the situation, and nodded lightly: ”Oh, so it’s you two who are about to be ambushed?”

Li Yingling wasn’t particularly emotional, nor did she regret losing the informants in the Demon Kingdom. If she had to regret anything, it was probably not having personally slaughtered those three shameless scum demons who had betrayed their companions without a moment’s hesitation.

She quickly ordered Cui Hao, who was at her side: ”Retreat first. We’ll go notify the Alliance Leader right away. The current main direction of attack is very likely to be a heavily armed ambush.”

Hearing this, Cui Hao immediately dropped the dry rations in his hand and walked toward his own senior sister, preparing to ride her spiritual treasure back.

Bai Xuanling reached out to interrupt their somewhat practiced fleeing actions and said: ”If I hadn’t come, you could have run. But now that I’m here, why are you still running?”

If she let these two junior cultivators continue to fuss about, who knew how much longer Chu Xingchen would be delayed here.

Li Yingling’s actions paused, and she looked toward Bai Xuanling.

Below the mountainside that Bai Xuanling had mentioned.

Demon King You Kui, a scorpion spirit with a long poison needle swaying behind his back, cursed resentfully: ”Damn it all! I knew that coward Niu was afraid of death, but I never thought he’d be so afraid of it that he’d defect to the enemy?”

”The most damned thing is that fellow Hu Qi. Was his brain kicked by that coward Niu? Instead of tearing him to shreds on the spot for everyone to share and supplement themselves, he actually said we should investigate more carefully to avoid wronging one of our own brothers.”

”Later, I’ll drag that human back to add some freshness to Niu’s soup.”

The Spider Demon King leaned against a large boulder and said calmly: ”I think Hu Qi has a problem too. Ever since he grew powerful, he’s lost his former valor. Recently, he seems rather similar to that coward Niu.”

The Rong Ke Demon King, with antlers on his head, looked rather old, and the expression on his face was somewhat listless.

He calmly watched the spider and scorpion complain. After they had both finished, the Rong Ke King said with a regretful tone: ”It’s just that too many of our brothers have died for nothing...”

As these words fell, the other two demons also fell silent.

The Rong Ke Demon King had brought his entire clan’s strength with him. He was already very old and could not live for much longer.

Among all the demon kings, the others had more or less selfish motives, even the spider and the scorpion were no exception. Only he, from beginning to end, was the most pure.

Things having come to this, every demon knew that the so-called Demon Kingdom had long become a joke.

Many of the lesser demons under their command had already fled without a fight.

Their current desperate resistance was better described as the resentment in the other demon kings’ hearts, wondering which bastard had betrayed them. Who could feel at peace without ferreting out the culprit and making soup out of him?

Demon King You Kui spoke to console him: ”Old Lu, rest assured. Today, we will get justice for our fallen brothers.”

”Hmm? What a coincidence. In that case, let me help you three little demons, shall I?”

The three demon kings suddenly felt a chill run down their spines. They all looked up toward the sky at the same time.

They saw three human cultivators standing in the air.

The one who spoke was a human female cultivator with a mocking expression on her face.

Her expression was contemptuous, and a maniacal smile appeared on her face as she said:

”I’ll go down and personally help you explain it to them.”
