Chapter 685: Chapter 345: Mo Xiaolan’s Crisis
Chang’an Palace.
Just one street over from the Western Emperor Palace, it’s usually used to host visitors from other states.
The disciples from the various sects attending the Immortal Ascension Ceremony are staying here.
Chang’an Palace has many courtyards, and the disciples of Zhenyang Sect are arranged in the largest one.
After the banquet in the Western Emperor Palace ended, Tantai Mingyue mysteriously disappeared, and the other disciples were led by several elders to settle in Chang’an Palace.
At this moment, in Qin Gengyun’s room, everyone was happily looking at Si Minglan who had just walked in with Fang Xue.
"Hey Fox Spirit, you’ve really become a Fox Spirit now, haven’t you?"
Liu Su cheerfully stepped forward, while Jian Yue sized her up:
"Heh, congratulations Third Senior Sister, your chest has grown, your hips have become curvy, now you can attract even more men."
Si Minglan glanced at her and also smiled: "I’m still not as loose as Senior Sister. Oh wait, you’re Jian Yue now, right? Speaking of cheap, not even ten Demonic Foxes can match you."
The two women laughed, one teasingly, one alluringly, sparks seemed to fly.
Si Minglan turned to look at Qiu Zhihe, the two exchanged glances for a moment, Qiu Zhihe smiled and said:
"Congratulations Taoist Friend Si for overcoming your Heart Demon, achieving the Celestial Beast Record, henceforth your cultivation is unimpeded, the path is clear."
Si Minglan put away her seductive charm and bowed to Qiu Zhihe: "Thank you Taoist Friend Qiu for giving me the Celestial Beast Record, I won’t forget your kindness."
Then she turned to Qin Gengyun: "Long time no see."
Qin Gengyun cupped his hands: "Congratulations Taoist Friend Si."
"Why be so formal, call me Minglan." Si Minglan smiled alluringly, Qiu Zhihe gave Qin Gengyun a cold glance, Qin Gengyun coughed awkwardly.
Si Minglan still wore a charming face, sashaying over to the Phoenix Bird Beast reclining nearby and reached out to touch its head:
"Such a big bird head."
"Guh?"
"Can I ride this bird?"
"Guh!"
Xu Caihe and Zhou Ling’Er stood by, dumbfounded:
"Isn’t that the former Third Senior Sister from Xiyue Peak?"
"She... didn’t she die?"
"So Senior Sister Ye deliberately stabbed her back then to help her fake her death and escape? Did Senior Brother He and Junior Sister Ruo also know?"
"Have we discovered a secret we weren’t supposed to know?"
"Oh my gosh, I feel like killing myself to silence myself!"
Si Minglan explained to everyone her experience cultivating the Nine-tailed Fox Scroll under Tang Mountain, now she’s sprouted six fox tails, and once she achieves all nine, she’ll wield the power of the Ancient Divine Beast Nine-tailed Demon Fox.
"What cultivation does the Nine-tailed Demon Fox have?"
Zhou Ling’Er asked curiously.
Si Minglan gave her a look, her alluring gaze made Zhou Ling’Er shiver, her legs nearly buckled, Xu Caihe quickly supported her.
After amusing Zhou Ling’Er, Si Minglan giggled softly:
"In ancient times, the Nine-tailed Demon Fox could kill Divinity Transformation Cultivators."
"Wow?!"
Everyone was amazed, Liu Su couldn’t help but exclaim:
"So powerful, since Master you’ve already been with this Fox Spirit, why not take her as your second wife, then no one would dare mess with you! Ouch!"
Liu Su held her head, looking at Qiu Zhihe aggrievedly.
"Hehe, I’m not interested!"
Si Minglan wrapped her arms around Fang Xue’s waist, her smile charming:
"Once I slaughter the Western Emperor Palace, I’ll soar away with Xiaoxue, dirty men stop dreaming about me."
Everyone looked shocked, Qin Gengyun said to Fang Xue: "Xiaoxue, do your parents know about this?"
Fang Xue’s face turned red: "Third Senior Sister is joking with you, don’t take it seriously!"
At this moment, Yun Wu walked in from outside and said to Qin Gengyun: "Brother Qin, Sister Xiaolan hasn’t returned yet."
Everyone was discussing matters in the room while Yun Wu waited outside for Mo Xiaolan, but by now Mo Xiaolan was still nowhere to be seen.
Qin Gengyun frowned: "Xiaolan said she was going to see Wu Yiren, could she be staying overnight in the princess’ chambers?"
"Oh my! Are they going to spend the night grinding away?" Liu Su covered her mouth, looking excited.
Qiu Zhihe glared at her, her eyebrows furrowing slightly: "The palace has many rules, guards strict, Wu Yiren is a princess, there’s no way she would allow Xiaolan to stay overnight."
The couple exchanged a glance: "Could something have happened to Xiaolan?"
...
"Are you people from Celestial Fall Sect?"
The black mist gradually thickened, Mo Xiaolan’s vision could only see about three feet around her, the Flying Feather slowly retreated, merging into the black mist, only the large body of the Tiger Boar coldly stared at Mo Xiaolan.
"A person about to die, asking is useless."
Whish whish whish! Dozens of pitch-black arrows shot out from the black mist, all transformed from mane on Flying Feather’s body.
This cultivator transformed Flying Feather was just like the one outside Zhenlian City back then, capable of transforming mane into arrows to attack the enemy.
But the situation now differs from that time, then Mo Xiaolan was with Qin Gengyun, Qiu Zhihe, Jian Yue and others dealing with three Demonic Beasts together, now she’s besieged alone.
Orchid flew from Mo Xiaolan’s left shoulder, becoming a rain of flowers blocking the arrows shot by Flying Feather.
However, the black mist grew denser, soon completely covering this space.
Mo Xiaolan tensed: "Hunting Cloud?!"
Back then outside Zhenlian City, besides Flying Feather and Tiger Boar, there was another high-grade Demonic Beast: Hunting Cloud.
This beast’s combat power isn’t strong, but it can spit poison mist that obscures vision and seals cultivation.
Back then, just one Hunting Cloud kept the heavy fog outside Zhenlian City undispersed for over a month.
The city’s cultivators dared not leave the city.
And now, to deal with her alone, they dispatched Hunting Cloud, Flying Cloud, and Tiger Boar, these three high-grade Demonic Beasts.
Who is so intent on killing her?
No time to think, Mo Xiaolan raised her delicate hand, the orchid transformed into white blossoms, rotating around her, driving away the black mist.
However, just as a corner of the black mist cleared, again dozens of mane arrows shot over!
At the same time, a powerful killing intent surged from above, Tiger Boar’s massive body came crashing down towards Mo Xiaolan!
Mo Xiaolan’s figure suddenly transformed into countless flower petals, enveloping Tiger Boar, each petal was incredibly sharp, carving many wounds on Tiger Boar’s body.
"This woman is strong! Don’t hold back!"
Tiger Boar roared wildly, the spiritual power on its body exploded, blowing away the countless petals entrapping it, then a black mist surged over, entangling these petals.
Outside the black mist, over a hundred mane arrows infused with strong spiritual power shot over!
Simultaneously, Tiger Boar opened its blood-red mouth, a massive beam of blackness shot out, scattering the countless petals!
A spray of fresh blood scattered in the air, Mo Xiaolan revealed her form, her face pale, her body marred with more than ten bloody wounds.
The surrounding black mist took the opportunity to seep into her wounds, Mo Xiaolan’s face paled further.
These three cultivators who can transform into Ancient Exotic Beasts all have Nascent Soul First-Layer cultivation, and their cooperation was extremely seamless, Mo Xiaolan is already struggling to fight the three.
"Don’t waste time, kill her!"
