Chapter 151: What a pity

Before leaving, Su Tingyun habitually searches the Qiankun Array Hall inside and out. She finds Xiao Mei's brother, Ning Yuan, also in seclusion. And the evil energy inside Ning Yuan is now slightly less than before. He was originally a Demonic cultivator, but now that he has found his sister and turned away from evil, he should have changed his cultivation method.

There is no demonic aura around Ning Yuan, so Su Tingyun relaxes after checking.

However, she still sets up arrays and talismans around him before continuing to inspect other areas. After seeing this, Su Tingyun admires the Grand Elder even more.

He must have refined his body into a cage, preventing the demons from spreading out. It's just a pity that he couldn't hold on in the end. He and his disciples all died in the stone room.

--

Su Tingyun is going to Dual Realm Mountain. Li Xinmei's eyes go red, and she insists that she wants to go too. Her cultivation has now reached the late stages of the Golden Core realm. After absorbing spiritual energy into her eyes, they no longer have a silver color but rather a faint purple hue. "Back in the Immortal Palace, I obtained some colorful stones. Through those colors, I gained a lot of insights. Now my mastery of formations is stronger than before. I'm sure I can help you."

Because of the colored stones, several disciples in the Qiankun Array Hall have inherited the Qiankun Formation Eye. They may not be as good as Li Xinmei, but they have made great progress. As for Fang Dingyuan, he no longer has the previous pale gold in his eyes, but they have a silver glow.

Su Tingyun herself cannot detect the cracks in the demon territory of the Dual Realm Mountain, but perhaps Li Xinmei can help. After considering it, she agrees.

Liu Feizhou wants to go as well, but Su Tingyun decisively refuses. As a result, Liu Feizhou's face turns ugly, and he leaves in a huff.

Let him throw a fit. Liu Feizhou has a bad temper and doesn't value human life. He has killed many people, and his heart is filled with great anger. The Dual Realm Mountain is a place that stirs up evil thoughts deep in people's hearts. Although Liu Feizhou treats his own people well, deep down, he still doesn't care about others' lives. Moreover, since he indeed can't help, Su Tingyun is unwilling to take him on the risky adventure.

Su Tingyun and Li Xinmei ride on the Springwater Sword together. After a day's journey, they arrive at the Qilian Mountains. It hasn't been long since Su Tingyun was last here, but the black air over the Qilian Mountains is even denser now, and the evil aura inside is even heavier.

Worried that Li Xinmei might be affected, Su Tingyun decides to let her stay inside Big Bai's belly. When a critical moment comes, she'll let her out to help with her Qiankun Formation Eye.

The evil air over the Qilian Mountain has grown denser. Fortunately, Su Tingyun's cultivation has also improved, and her spiritual energy is not restricted. So, she doesn't feel much discomfort for the moment. But when she follows her recollection to the original entrance of the demon realm, she discovers that the entrance is indeed gone.

Even though her primordial spirit is much stronger now, she still can't see any hints of it.

….

Meanwhile, in the demon territory of the Dual Realm Mountain, Zhang Zhizi's eyes suddenly snap wide open. An abnormal redness comes over his face, and his smile twists into a grotesque grin.

In just a short period, Zhang Zhizi's cultivation has reached the stage of a Tribulation Transcendent! All demonic energy serves as the source of his power. The continuous flow of power within the Dual Realm Mountain has caused his cultivation to skyrocket. Anyone selected by the Beauty Scroll will become a demon capable of destroying an entire Realm within a short time. If there hadn't been another demon competing with him, the advancement of Zhang Zhizi's strength would've been even more astonishing.

"I still haven't gone out to find her, yet she's come knocking on my door herself!" Zhang Zhizi slowly opens the Beauty Scroll, and at the last position, Li Xinmei's silhouette appears faintly.

This means she's here.

Initially, he didn't include Li Xinmei in the painting, but he recorded her soul, allowing him to know her whereabouts anytime, anywhere. Now, they are at the Qilian Mountains, the entrance to the Demon Realm, his paradise. He's certain he can capture Li Xinmei into the painting, make her his woman, have her kneel at his feet, and call him master.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhizi's smile grows even broader, almost as if beastly blood is boiling within him. He reaches out and pinches Bai Lu's waist, then fondles Xi Guang's chest. Even though he's already held them both, he still wants more.

His current life is beyond what he used to dare to imagine. However, he wants more than just this. He wants all those who have hurt him in the past to kneel at his feet, and he wants that lofty figure, the white moonlight in his heart who once looked down on him, to become his plaything.

He used to be so small and insignificant, but now he wants to become incredibly powerful, to make those people take notice, and to ruthlessly step on their faces.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhizi grips tightly and vigorously rubs his hands together. Xi Guang lets out a muffled groan as he pinches her, her face flushing and her body softening like a puddle of water as she leans against him. Her red lips are as charming as plum blossoms, and her eyes are seductive and captivating.

Bai Lu lightly pokes Zhang Zhizi's collarbone and casually says, "If Li Xinmei dares to come here to provoke, could it be that she has some backing?"

After speaking, Zhang Zhizi roars angrily, "She dares to provoke me?"

He then stands up abruptly, his anger boiling, and says, "Let's go. We'll go out and catch her."

"Wait." Bai Lu covers her face with a fan and communicates through voice transmission, "That person seems different from us. He is trapped inside Dual Realms Mountain. If we rush out now and let him slip away, it wouldn't be appropriate."

She's been searching for Yan Yuqing's whereabouts, occasionally finding traces of him at the entrance of the Dual Realm Mountain.

He seems keen to leave here but can't. In other words, he is likely trapped inside the mountain. Why would he be suppressed here?

Bai Lu is momentarily puzzled, but she's also worried. If this person escapes, it might disrupt important matters in the Demon Realm. Someone who can be suppressed by the Dual Realm Mountain is likely not an ordinary person. Moreover, this person is full of demonic energy, clearly being cultivated and groomed to be the Demon Realm's master. This is completely different from the puppet monsters nurtured by the Beauty Scroll.

Zhang Zhizi may seem formidable now, but in the end, he will become a mindless demon puppet, merely selected by the Beauty Scroll and not worth mentioning at all. Looking at him now, his emotions often spiral out of control. With just a little provocation, he loses his rationality. It won't be long before he becomes a puppet. It is only Xi Guang, who joined in last and didn't experience the past, who still thinks Zhang Zhizi is the real master.

She used to proactively tell her sisters the truth, but this time Bai Lu decided not to tell her. As expected of jealousy, Bai Lu purses her lips and smirks, though she finds Xi Guang irritating.

Glancing at Zhang Zhizi, Bai Lu's smirk curls into a disdainful smile. Compared to him, Yan Yuqing appears much more mysterious. Of course, she is so much more interested in Yan Yuqing.

As Bai Lu finishes speaking, Xi Guang says, "If that person goes out, won't it mean there'd be no one competing with us for demonic energy? Master's cultivation speed will only accelerate. Why not seize the opportunity?"

Zhang Zhizi finds Xi Guang's words reasonable. Moreover, with Li Xinmei outside, he can't bear it any longer. He says directly, "Regardless, I'm going to catch Li Xinmei. Now that I'm a strong powerhouse at the Tribulation Transcendent stage, and with you two helping, how is it possible that we can't catch one Li Xinmei?"

Since Zhang Zhizi has made up his mind, Bai Lu naturally won't oppose. She extends her divine sense but doesn't find any trace of Yan Yuqing. She can't help thinking that it's a pity.
