Checking in for 100,000 Years

Chapter 487: Chapter 487: We are still friends, right?

Suibai, ostensibly the most powerful humanoid oddity in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, was nevertheless hunched over, leaning on an ancient cane like a tottering old man. His gait was unsteady, an unbelievable sight.

His footsteps, heavy as celestial war drums, caused the ground to shake subtly.

The enormous Heavenly Mechanism Tower seemed to vibrate imperceptibly, causing a slight ripple in its silver glow.

The audacious black fog from outside also infiltrated a part of the tower.

”COUGH, COUGH...”

As Suibai walked, he coughed. The sound echoed beneath the silent Heavenly Mechanism Tower, clearly audible, striking straight to the heart.

Feeling that terrifying aura, every cultivator’s face grew even paler.

”Senior Sister, this old man is also Suibai. It’s truly hard to imagine, how can there be so many Suibais?” Jun Moxiao swallowed hard, struggling to speak.

Although Suibai was their benefactor, encountering several different Suibais in succession still filled them with an indescribable sense of unease.

”I’m not sure either, but Suibai has always been kind to us, so there’s no need to be scared,” Luo Li said, her small face taut as she mustered her courage.

In truth, she also felt some trepidation in her heart, an unease stemming from a deep intuition. This elderly Suibai seemed entirely different from the others. He exuded an indescribable murderous aura.

Only after Suibai entered did the Black Rock Demon and Mu Qing, the only pair still fighting, separate.

They each retreated several zhang and descended from mid-air.

Suibai glanced in Luo Li’s direction before emotionlessly advancing towards the Black Rock Demon.

”Why is Suibai walking towards me?” This Destiny Realm Level Nine Black Rock Demon was greatly shocked, yet he dared not move. Suibai’s arrival signaled a routine inspection. I must remain perfectly still and not make any rash movements. Otherwise, if I anger Suibai, there’s only one outcome—death.

All the cultivators fixed their gazes on Suibai, watching him walk step by step towards the Black Rock Demon.

”This elderly Suibai is brimming with an infinite murderous aura, like a demon emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. He’s heading for the Black Rock Demon first. Could it be that he’s taken a disliking to that old fellow?” Big Black Cat’s eyes glinted, and he inwardly gloated at the Black Rock Demon’s impending doom. If Suibai were to kill the Black Rock Demon, it would be a cause for great celebration. This would instantly eliminate the Nine-tailed Fox Demon’s strongest combatant. Even if it meant facing the Ironclad Gryphon Clan, Big Black Cat was confident in putting up a fight. After all, Mu Qing was Destiny Realm Level Nine; she alone could handle several Destiny Realm demons. The remaining Destiny Realm demons would be his to deal with. Combined with his Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye, Big Black Cat was confident he could win this battle. As for the Blood Spirit Sting, Big Black Cat had already used it twice. His current mana reserves were insufficient to sustain a third use.

Suibai’s face was covered with red hair, making it impossible to discern his features.

His colossal face drew closer to the Black Rock Demon, his nose twitching as if sensing some kind of aura.

The Black Rock Demon dared not move a muscle. His body was still encased in thick Black Rock Armor; theoretically, no peculiar scent should escape.

Suibai took a step back.

The Black Rock Demon let out a soft sigh of relief. Just as he thought he had passed the inspection, his eyes widened as he saw Suibai’s palm striking towards him.

THUD!

The Black Rock Demon couldn’t evade it.

The slap landed, and even his hard Black Rock Armor was utterly insufficient to resist Suibai’s immense power.

The Black Rock Demon, along with his armor, exploded into a mist of blood, dying on the spot.

Witnessing the elderly Suibai’s killing spree, all the cultivators trembled in fear.

It was just as the rumors said: though old, this elderly Suibai possessed the strongest killing intent.

After casually killing the Black Rock Demon, Suibai glanced at the other Black Rock Demons, who were also clad in armor.

His gaze was sinister, eerie, and ruthlessly cold.

Those Black Rock Demons trembled with fear and actually knelt on the ground.

”Suibai, spare us, please!” they loudly begged for mercy.

Suibai merely glanced at them and then ignored them, turning towards Mu Qing.

Mu Qing’s heart tightened. She didn’t know why Suibai was approaching her.

”What is this Suibai trying to do? Does he need to inspect one of his own people too?” Big Black Cat’s eyes widened in disbelief at Suibai’s actions.

”This...” Luo Li’s heart hammered wildly; she suddenly had an ominous premonition. Suibai was inherently a strange humanoid creature, often teetering on the brink of madness and semi-madness. This elderly Suibai didn’t seem very lucid; the difference compared to the other two Suibais was stark.

Suibai walked over to Mu Qing’s side. He actually lowered his face to sniff the Super Divine Dragon Breath emanating from Mu Qing.

Seeing this, Luo Li could no longer hold back and quickly rushed over.

”Senior Sister, I’ll go with you!” Jun Moxiao’s expression changed slightly. He sent a mental message, ready to follow.

”Little Junior Brother, you stay put and don’t move. More people won’t help matters!” Luo Li sent a mental message back, walking briskly without a backward glance.

Jun Moxiao could only sigh and remain where he was.

At this moment, Su Wanyi’s heart was in her throat, worried for her Little Junior Sister.

At this moment, Suibai finished inspecting the Super Divine Dragon Breath on Mu Qing, retracted his head, and took half a step back.

With a flash, Luo Li appeared between Mu Qing and Suibai.

”Suibai, this is my companion. You cannot harm her,” Luo Li said decisively, clenching her small pink fists.

Suibai stared at Luo Li expressionlessly, scrutinizing her as if reassessing the lovely young girl before him.

Luo Li said no more, simply staring back at Suibai.

The surrounding cultivators, and even the members of the Demon Clan, all stared at Luo Li in stupefaction, unable to believe their eyes.

Truly, like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger. The nerve of this young girl was far too great. How dare she speak to Suibai like that?

Although some cultivators had previously seen a Suibai lead this small team away, the situation was different now. This was the elderly Suibai, the one with the most potent killing intent.

Any misspoken word would result in being killed on the spot by Suibai.

Many Human cultivators broke out in a cold sweat for Luo Li.

Ye Yun was also curiously watching this elderly Suibai, wondering what choice he would make. This elderly Suibai, perhaps due to his age, was clearly not as sharp-witted as the previous two. He showed signs of senility.

Suibai slowly raised a hand, his body trembling as if making an agonizing choice.

”Suibai, we are still friends, right?” Luo Li suddenly said.

Suibai hesitated for a moment. A flicker of realization crossed his eyes, and he nodded subtly, saying in a hoarse voice, ”Yes!”

Joy spread across Luo Li’s face.

The other five members of the Dragon God Sect all let out a long sigh of relief; the hearts that had been lodged in their throats finally settled back into their chests.

Suibai recognized the Sect Master.

This meant he would no longer act against the Sect Master or Mu Qing.

This was truly wonderful news.
