Chapter 561: 533: Red Snake Entwines Around White City

Chapter 561: Chapter 533: Red Snake Entwines Around White City

This matter had caused a great uproar at the time, stirring up huge waves throughout the Demon World.

No demonic beast was willing to believe that a human could move freely in and out of Sacred Beast Mountain.

But in fact, it was true.

This cultivator named Lu Ya not only traveled through the Sacred Mountain but also took away the offspring with the purest bloodline from the Tianwu Clan.

What was even more unacceptable to the demonic beasts was that Lu Ya was only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage at the time.

This made the whole matter seem absurd.

Regardless of whether one had reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage or the Complete Nascent Soul Stage, any mature beast on Sacred Beast Mountain could easily kill them with a casual swipe of their paw.

How could such a human cultivator act so audaciously?

Although rumors later circulated that Lu Ya’s ability to freely enter and exit Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain occurred because he had received [Emperor One]’s silent consent.

However, this did not appease the demonic beasts.

[Emperor One], as the nominal ruler of all the demonic beasts, held such an exalted status. Many young beasts with pure bloodlines and exceptional talents couldn’t catch the eye of [Emperor One].

Why should this mere human cultivator?

Thus, it took more than a decade for the storm caused by this matter to gradually settle down.

The name ‘Lu Ya’ became deeply ingrained in the minds of many demonic beasts.

Although the Cyclone Bird was naturally forgetful, when “Lu Ya” and the Imperial Jade Token were mentioned simultaneously, it recalled the events of that year instantly.

“It seems rumors are indeed true, Lu Ya really has a deep relationship with [Emperor One] …” The Cyclone Bird chuckled oddly, flapped its wings, and followed Xu Ke into Sacred Beast Mountain.

There seemed to be some special energy within Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain that was extremely beneficial to the demonic beasts.

The closer he got to it, the more spirited Li Fan felt.

Deep within his body, something seemed to be rejoicing, making him feel his blood boiling and a seemingly endless burst of energy.

The Azure Luan Bird under Xu Ke felt the same way.

It let out a clear, ringing cry, its voice filled with unabashed joy, and its flying speed instantly increased.

In an instant, they were already there.

Xu Ke and the others had already entered the territory of the Sacred Beast Mountain, but at that moment, Little Green suddenly froze in the air without warning, stopping all movements.

At the very same moment, Li Fan also felt a fatal crisis surging up in his heart.

Xu Ke, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to the danger, still excitedly shouting: “Little Black, look quick, what is that?”

Li Fan’s body felt as if it had turned to stone, unable to move, only able to force his eyes to follow the direction Xu Ke was pointing to.

What came into view was a gigantic snake, coiled and wrapped around Sacred Beast Mountain.

Its entire body was flaming red, eye-catching and incredibly eerie.

The red snake’s body was enormous, the part coiled around Sacred Beast Mountain seemed to be only a fraction of its seemingly endless body.

Most of it was hidden in the blue waters of Nanming Sea.

It was a sight that could instill fear in anyone.

Yet, this unparalleled ferocious beast appeared out of nowhere as they were about to enter Nanming Sacred Beast Mountain, its presence unbeknownst to them all prior.

The red snake’s single eye was fixated on the Azure Luan Bird and the humans on it with a cold, emotionless gaze.

The tremendous pressure compelled Li Fan to involuntarily close his eyes, obeying his body’s instinct.

Yet Xu Ke seemed unfazed, completely unaware of the terrifying aura, he stared wide-eyed, meeting the gaze of the red snake.

After a stalemate, a faint radiance emitted from the Jade Badge in Xu Ke’s embrace.

The red snake’s gaze shifted slightly, then it closed its eye.

In an instant, the Azure Luan Bird regained her mobility.

Li Fan felt the pressure on him abruptly lift away, prompting him to breathe a little easier.

When he looked again, the giant red serpent that was larger than a mountain had already disappeared without a trace.

It was as if the blood-curdling scene from earlier was just a shared hallucination.

But Li Fan knew, the one-eyed red serpent still resided on the Sacred Beast Mountain.

It was only that they could not see it nor comprehend its existence.

“If it weren’t for that Emperor One Jade Badge, even with Unity-Path cultivation level, death or disability would be inevitable here.” Li Fan was secretly startled.

On the other hand, Xu Ke appeared to be nonchalant and carefree, urging the Azure Luan Bird to descend onto the mountain.

“Whew! It feels so comfortable here.” After a bit, Xu Ke, having stepped onto the ground, took a deep breath and exclaimed.

He knew that staying on the Sacred Beast Mountain had some inexplicable benefits for the Demonic Beasts.

So this time, he did not recall Little Green, instead letting her transform into a smaller version, placing her in a temporary nest beside Li Fan.

Li Fan shot him a glance, but the image of the Qing Saint in the real world thousands of years later suddenly surfaced in his Spirit Consciousness.

He smiled faintly, not bothering to interact with her.

Little Green seemed a bit scared of Li Fan, the Heavenly Mandate Mystic Bird, her eyes filled with trepidation whenever she looked at him.

She actively maintained a distance from him, not daring to get too close.

Temporarily setting aside the two little birds perched atop his head, Xu Ke dashed along the mountain path toward the lofty city above.

All along the way, countless bizarre Demonic Beasts could be seen.

Beasts of myriad forms, from horse bodies with bird wings to human faces with snake tails.

…

Even some demonic beasts that were flowers, trees, and grass spirits, exuding no demonic aura, appeared celestial and sacred.

But regardless of how fierce or ambitious these demonic beasts appeared, they were all exceptionally cautious and modest, navigating the mountain path with careful steps, without any sign of overstepping.

Thus, Xu Ke’s reckless and wild dashing was especially conspicuous.

Some demonic beasts glared with murderous intent, wanting to teach this little brat a lesson.

However, as if sensing the [Emperor One] aura from him, not a single beast ventured to act.

So, they let Xu Ke jog all the way to the base of the city at the mountain peak.

Constructed from an unknown material, the city on the summit of the Sacred Beast Mountain was magnificent, its entire body snow-white, looking noble and solemn under the sun.

Outside White City was simply a high wall, without a door.

However, as the beasts approached, a face appeared out of nowhere.

It opened its mouth wide, revealing a pitch-black tunnel.

Xu Ke stopped suddenly.

He craned his neck, trying to peek inside the tunnel.

But he could not see clearly at all.

Just as he was mumbling to himself, a beast came by, with a mocking expression on its face, and walked straight in.

Xu Ke turned his lips down and immediately ceased his hesitation.

He followed the beast into the White City of the Sacred Beast Mountain.

The light disappeared and then reappeared.

“Follow me!”

A childish, milky voice resounded next to Li Fan’s ear.

He saw upfront a child, who looked about five or six years old. The child was charming and exquisitely carved, their gender unclear, was standing with hands on hips, talking to Xu Ke.
