Jun Yelan raised his arm, blocking the demon beast's attack and throwing it fiercely to the ground. He looked at the one-horned beast on the ground, his eyes chilling as he said, "It's you, the legendary Hai Beast."
Among the ancient ferocious beasts, there was a Hai Beast, cunning and treacherous, whose whereabouts had always been unknown. He never expected to find it here.
The Hai Beast, hearing its name spoken, bared its teeth and glared furiously at Jun Yelan, preparing to launch a new round of attacks.
Below, Lan Yan called out worriedly, "Jun Yelan, be careful!" As she spoke, she was also targeted by the Hai Beast and quickly took a step back.
Jun Yelan immediately flew down, landing in front of Lan Yan, his eyes coldly fixed on the Hai Beast as if he could tear it apart. "Lan Yan, you go first. I'll deal with this little beast."
"You're lying to me. He's a ferocious beast like you, and you'll be in danger," Lan Yan had read many demon books before, wanting to understand Jun Yelan better.
She fumbled in her bag and pulled out a red string, tying it to both Jun Yelan's and her own wrists. She said, "Now you can't get rid of me, and I can't leave you."
She jiggled their wrists, as if showing off a treasure, a faint smile on her lips.
Jun Yelan was stunned. He truly wasn't confident in dealing with the Hai Beast. If it were in the past, it might have been possible, but now, covered in wounds, it was almost impossible.
He murmured, "You are truly different." With that, he activated his palm and struck towards the Hai Beast.
Lan Yan hadn't heard Jun Yelan's words clearly. Seeing this, she also took out her spiritual artifact and attacked the Hai Beast.
The Hai Beast, attacked from both sides, became enraged. It raised its two forepaws and, with immense power, struck at the two people before it.
However, Jun Yelan directly met the attack with his wings and transformed one of his hands into a claw, raking at the Hai Beast's back. The Hai Beast, backlashed by its own attack and grasped by Jun Yelan's claws, struggled desperately.
Seeing this, Lan Yan took out her previous spinning top, which transformed into a formation, trapping the Hai Beast. "Heh heh, let's see how fierce you are now?" she clapped her hands and, facing the Hai Beast's fierce eyes, snorted coldly.
The Hai Beast bared its fangs and tried to roar at Lan Yan again, but Jun Yelan blocked it.
Jun Yelan's eyes grew colder as he said, "I won't kill you. Where is the eye of the formation?" Seeing that the Hai Beast was unwilling to tell, he walked up to it and fiercely gripped the single horn on its head.
The Hai Beast immediately thrashed against the formation, and facing Jun Yelan's death-like gaze, it slightly retracted its claws and lay on the ground. That was its only horn.
This demon beast before it was terrifying; it submitted.
Only then did Jun Yelan release the horn in his hand and coldly say, "Lead the way."
The Hai Beast got up, touched the horn on its head, and turned to walk forward. Upon closer inspection, its body was trembling.
Lan Yan watched the scene unfold, finding it incredible. She put away the spinning top and walked towards Jun Yelan, giving him a thumbs-up. "Jun Yelan, you're amazing! Truly an ancient demon beast."
Jun Yelan said nothing. He reached up and took down a fruit from the top of his head, handing it to Lan Yan. Seeing her frozen, he said, "Weren't you hungry?"
Lan Yan smiled, took the fruit, and took a big bite. It was truly sweet. She then offered it to Jun Yelan, "Do you want some?"
Seeing the teeth marks on it, Jun Yelan froze, his gaze shifting slightly. He then took two more, one for himself and one for Lan Yan.
As he ate, he met the Hai Beast's eyes. With a slight change in his expression, the Hai Beast dared not do anything and obediently led the way.
Hai Beast: Wuwuwu, eating that fruit can increase one's cultivation by ten years.
After eating two fruits, Lan Yan felt full and her body felt lighter. "This fruit is truly magical." She looked at the Hai Beast, which had stopped moving, and discovered a luminous circle at its feet. She assumed that was the eye of the formation.
Jun Yelan also walked over, glanced at the Hai Beast telling it to leave, and then squatted down, placing his palm on the formation's eye.
The formation's eye gradually changed, emitting a cloud of white mist that instantly enveloped Jun Yelan and Lan Yan.
"Jun Yelan!" Lan Yan waved her hand in front of the white mist. What was this? It was blocking her vision. "You're still too young to use this move against me."
She curved her lips, raised her wrist, looked at the red string, and walked forward. With this, she was sure she wouldn't lose Jun Yelan!
At this moment, Jun Yelan was also in the white mist, unable to find Lan Yan. His eyes darkened. He should have killed the Hai Beast directly. This was the Hai Beast's final move, truly insidious and cunning.
He activated his palm, but he couldn't use his spiritual power here, and his heart grew increasingly agitated. He clenched his fist, the red string on his wrist subtly swaying. He softly called out, "Lan Yan."
There was no response, but he understood. He walked along the direction of the red string.
Lan Yan watched the red string become increasingly taut, realizing Jun Yelan was just ahead. She ran forward and suddenly bumped into something like a wall, joyfully reaching out to embrace it and shouting, "Jun Yelan, I found you." Kuai Shu Ge
Jun Yelan was already stunned, unsure how to place his hands, staring blankly at the person in his arms. He had also seen the shortening red string, and his heart was still subtly trembling when someone rushed into his embrace.
At this moment, his heart trembled even more violently, beyond his control.
He placed his hands on Lan Yan's back and nodded. "Yes, you found me. I'll take you away."
Lan Yan smiled at him.
Jun Yelan's expression softened. He then took Lan Yan's hand and activated his palm. Instantly, the white mist dissipated, and the two of them stood on a desolate piece of land, with no sign of human habitation in any direction.
His eyes darkened.
Lan Yan looked around, realizing they were in a place she didn't recognize. She asked in confusion, "Where have we arrived?"
Jun Yelan's voice responded, "The Demon Realm." He clenched his fist, not expecting the formation to lead them here. This Demon Realm was not a good place.
He couldn't help but look at Lan Yan.
Lan Yan reacted, "Isn't this your territory! Right, where do you live? Let's hurry back." She had been exhausted these past few days and needed to recuperate.
Jun Yelan was taken aback. He had expected Lan Yan to be more surprised, or perhaps to cry out in distress, but she accepted it so casually. He had never considered this place home, but hearing it from Lan Yan's mouth now sparked a sliver of anticipation.
"Yes," he said, not letting go of Lan Yan's hand, and led her onto the land of the Demon Realm, heading towards his territory.
Lan Yan was excited the entire way, finally about to learn about Jun Yelan's past life. She curiously looked around, discovering that the Demon Realm was utterly desolate. For a hundred miles in any direction, she couldn't see a single living creature.
So this was the place where Jun Yelan had lived for millions of years. He must have been so lonely. She couldn't help but grip Jun Yelan's hand tighter, resolving in her heart to save him.
Jun Yelan felt the difference in his palm and allowed the person beside him to do as she pleased.
After a long while, they arrived at a hilltop. He announced, "We're here." As he spoke, he frowned, sensing other demonic auras here. Other demon beasts were present!
