A deal?
Mo Fan frowned. He did not think he had anything to trade with this hedgehog demoness.
Cooperation, however, did share a common goal.
“You want to use me to deal with Lei Yu Zi Dian?”
Mo Fan grasped this almost instantly.
Back in Phoenix Pass, this woman had voiced her dissatisfaction with Lei Yu Zi Dian right in front of him. Later, in the Fire Phoenix Palace, Lei Yu Zi Dian had slapped her hard.
Clearly, her relationship with Lei Yu Zi Dian was not as good as imagined.
“It’s not using, it’s cooperation!”
Bai Shuang corrected at the right moment, then suddenly smiled. “I think before explaining this to you, we can first deal with a certain eyesore. What do you say?”
Mo Fan turned his head upon hearing this and caught Cang Gu’s helpless gaze.
“Woman, I admit you’re beautiful, but can’t you be kinder? No need to fight and kill all the time. It ruins the harmony.”
Seeing both looking at him, Cang Gu rolled his eyes and put on an innocent expression.
“I’m no human, and don’t you human cultivators always call us demons man-eating beasts?
In that case, I’ll just keep this Core Formation cultivator here!”
Bai Shuang sneered repeatedly, her gaze towards Cang Gu filled with unconcealed killing intent.
“No, I surrender!”
Cang Gu shrugged, raised his hands, then looked at the silent Mo Fan opposite. “Hey, fellow daoist, won’t you control your demoness?”
Hearing this, Mo Fan subconsciously touched his nose and glanced at Bai Shuang beside him, feeling her beauty was indeed excessive.
Perhaps because Cang Gu had said this, a blush appeared on Bai Shuang’s face, though it quickly returned to coldness.
“This person is a human clan prodigy, a direct disciple of a sect, with unfathomable strength. I even suspect he has some sacred physique.
Clashing with him is not a wise choice.”
At this moment, Mo Fan’s transmission suddenly sounded in Bai Shuang’s ear, instantly narrowing her pupils.
She could ignore a sect’s direct disciple, but a sacred physique was different. It was a direct embodiment of power.
“Miss Bai, I have some friendship with this Fellow Daoist Cang Gu. No need for sparring, right?”
Mo Fan spoke up at this point, extending a bit of goodwill to Cang Gu.
Hearing Mo Fan say this, the tense Cang Gu relaxed considerably, surprise appearing in his eyes.
“Since my stinky little brother has said so, I won’t bully him!”
Bai Shuang rolled her eyes and smiled instantly.
“You two fellow daoists have made a wise decision!”
Cang Gu smiled, scratched his head, and laughed awkwardly. “Well, you continue. Don’t mind me.”
“…”
Mo Fan was speechless, but seeing Bai Shuang’s shy face, he glared and thought, “Why are you shy?”
But he knew some things could not be said in front of Cang Gu, who was, after all, a human cultivator.
Thinking this, Mo Fan directly grabbed Bai Shuang’s hand, feeling its softness and warmth, his heart stirring slightly.
But soon he felt a powerful demon force erupt from her body, trying to shake his hand off.
So Mo Fan quickly said, “This isn’t the place to talk. I’ll take you underground!”
Sure enough, upon these words, the violent demon force in Bai Shuang calmed instantly.
Mo Fan then used his earth-escaping divine ability, enveloping Bai Shuang in demon power, and both vanished from the spot.
After the two demons disappeared, the smile on Cang Gu’s face gradually faded. He muttered, “A demon general who killed a Core Formation cultivator and openly threatened to deal with me without hesitation…
Another troublesome fellow!
I wonder how many demon clan prodigies have come this time…”
Deep underground.
Mo Fan casually opened a new cave abode, illuminated it with thousands of spirit stones, then released Bai Shuang’s soft hand.
“Now you can speak.” Mo Fan looked at her calmly.
Bai Shuang did not rush to talk but scanned the cave. Then demon power surged within her.
As a trace of demon power entered the pendant on her chest, a glow instantly released from it.
In a moment, the glow formed a barrier, protecting the entire underground cave.
After this, a smile appeared on Bai Shuang’s face. She looked at Mo Fan. “We share a common goal, so cooperation is the best choice.”
“Isn’t Lei Yu Zi Dian your ancestor? You hate him that much?” Mo Fan asked curiously.
“I wish he would die right now!”
Bai Shuang snorted coldly, teeth clenched, but she did not explain further. Instead, she changed the topic. “Cooperate with me, and you can turn from prey to hunter. I can help you kill all Lei Yu family disciples entering the Dragon Ruins!”
“Interesting, but even without cooperating with you, in this space, I don’t seem to need fear that old fellow Lei Yu Zi Dian.” Mo Fan said meaningfully.
“I know you’re strong, with few rivals in the same realm.
But never underestimate a demon ancestor’s foundation!
Even with cultivation sealed to Core Formation stage, it’s not something demon generals like us can handle.” Bai Shuang said gravely.
Mo Fan was noncommittal inwardly. After entering this place, he did have confidence to fight any demon ancestor.
But he had to admit Bai Shuang’s words held some truth.
Demon ancestors like Lei Yu Zi Dian had lived countless years. The battles they experienced were beyond his comparison.
And who could guarantee these powerhouses had no trump cards?
“Then what do you think I should do?”
“Hide well first and wait for the Dragon Ruins entrance to open.
The laws in the Dragon Ruins are more terrifying. From what I know, even demon ancestors are suppressed by the laws upon entering!
That’s your chance!”
Bai Shuang’s eyes flashed. She continued, “If Lei Yu Zi Dian wants to enter the Dragon Ruins, he must seal his cultivation to demon general realm.
That’s when the cultivation gap between us is smallest!”
“Indeed!”
Mo Fan nodded, admitting Bai Shuang made sense.
If in this space he had some confidence to fight Lei Yu Zi Dian, then once truly entering the Dragon Ruins, he would have full assurance!
Within the same realm, he had never feared anyone.
So what if a demon ancestor?
With cultivation suppressed, many powerful methods surely could not be used. That would be more advantageous for him, Mo Fan!
“The Dragon Ruins is so vast. How will we find him then? Or can you track his movements anytime?” Mo Fan asked the key question.
“The ancestor is suspicious and cunning. To facilitate contact, he gave us some gadgets before entering this place.
Through them, we can sense each other’s positions.
But we cannot sense the ancestor’s location.”
Bai Shuang spoke, paused slightly, then continued, “But I’m certain that if you make some commotion in the Dragon Ruins, the ancestor will come for you first!”
Mo Fan nodded. Waiting like a stump for a rabbit seemed foolish, but sometimes it worked well.
“Then, pleasant cooperation!”
Mo Fan smiled. He did need a demon cultivator like Bai Shuang.
Because she could almost always monitor the Lei Yu family’s movements.
Once the Dragon Ruins entrance opened, it meant he could become the hunter, preying on the Lei Yu family demons!
Since they chose to wait, the two demons stayed in the underground cave, awaiting the entrance to open while avoiding much trouble.
One day passed quickly. When Mo Fan opened his eyes again, the “Dragon Ruins” stele on the surface burst with brilliant light!
The Dragon Ruins entrance had opened!
