When Mo Fan returned to the spot, he saw Bai Shuang standing motionless on the ground, her eyes filled with blankness.
Mo Fan frowned slightly, not understanding what was wrong with her, so he spoke up, “Miss Bai, are you alright?”
Yet after these words, Bai Shuang remained unresponsive, like a statue.
What was going on?
Now Mo Fan finally realised her state was not right, so he walked straight to her, pointed a finger at her forehead.
The next moment, vast divine sense plunged directly into Bai Shuang’s sea of consciousness, while transmitting with divine sense, “Wake up!!”
Bai Shuang immediately shuddered, her eyes gradually clearing, finally awakening from that blank state.
Seeing this, Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and withdrew his divine sense.
“Lai Bao, thank you!”
Bai Shuang took a deep breath, a trace of fear in her eyes, thanking Mo Fan.
“What happened to you just now?” Mo Fan asked.
“I fell under that fellow’s illusion technique!”
Bai Shuang’s expression immediately turned ugly.
Illusion technique?
Mo Fan frowned slightly, “You mean Tu Shan Yun Jun?”
“Who is Tu Shan Yun Jun?” Bai Shuang asked in return.
“The sword expert who attacked us earlier.”
Mo Fan explained, then briefly recounted his earlier clash with the fellow.
“Tu Shan Yun Jun? Tu Shan… could it be that Tu Shan?!”
Bai Shuang muttered, her expression suddenly growing solemn.
“You know that fellow’s background?” Mo Fan looked at her with some surprise.
“No, just guessing, I once heard my mother mention some powerful forces among the demon clans, including the Tu Shan clan.” Bai Shuang said.
Tu Shan clan?
Mo Fan immediately grew interested, saying, “Can you tell me about it?”
“Yes.”
Bai Shuang nodded, continuing, “The Tu Shan clan’s true form is the nine-tailed heavenly fox clan, it is said their inheritance is ancient and mysterious, traceable to the primordial era, originally one of the top great demon clans, but later somehow went into seclusion.
It is said the entire Tu Shan clan lives in hiding somewhere in the divine domain.
This makes the various demon clans of the Hundred Thousand Mountains very dissatisfied, some even treat the Tu Shan clan as traitors.”
“Just that?”
Mo Fan was somewhat disappointed after hearing, as this information was useless to him, even without Bai Shuang saying it, he could guess Tu Shan Yun Jun came from the divine domain, not a demon cultivator from the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
“Information about the Tu Shan clan is scarce, but legend says they possess two particularly powerful divine abilities.”
“Oh?”
Mo Fan immediately perked up again.
This time, without waiting for Mo Fan to ask, Bai Shuang continued on her own, “These two divine abilities, one is illusion technique, the other is deduction method.”
“Right, there’s also an interesting rumour you might find intriguing.”
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Bai Shuang’s face as she looked at Mo Fan.
“Is that so? Then I must listen carefully.”
Mo Fan also smiled upon hearing this.
“Rumour has it the current Tu Shan clan ancestor likes the White Tiger Holy King, the two demons once had a romantic entanglement.” Bai Shuang laughed.
“Uh… true or false?”
Mo Fan blinked, somewhat curious about this news.
The White Tiger Holy King was his idol, also very rigid and rough, thinking of him during the Southern Border war, saying “this old man” left and right, he found it hard to imagine what Bai Xiao Su in love would be like.
And what kind of extraordinary woman was the Tu Shan ancestor who liked Bai Xiao Su?
“I don’t know if it’s true or false.”
Bai Shuang shrugged, then returned to the topic, saying, “But from what you said about Tu Shan Yun Jun attacking me, the Tu Shan clan possessing illusion divine ability should be true.”
“How did he make you fall under the illusion?” Mo Fan asked curiously.
Earlier when he fought Tu Shan Yun Jun, the opponent had not used illusion, which made Mo Fan especially concerned.
Though he and Tu Shan Yun Jun could be said to have become acquainted through fighting, and the opponent owed him a promise, he did not think that fellow was a trustworthy demon, if given the chance, he might strike without hesitation.
Therefore, he urgently needed to understand Tu Shan Yun Jun’s various methods, so next time they met, if conflict arose, he could respond promptly.
“Speaking of this, I’m quite depressed, at that time I saw you fly to find that fellow, so I also extended divine sense to look, but found he directly looked towards me.
Though separated by several li, I felt his gaze could ignore distance, directly reflecting into my eyes.
I saw his eyes become very different.
One pupil turned black, one turned red, then I fell into the illusion.”
Bai Shuang said helplessly, still somewhat lingering with fear.
“Heterochromia?”
“Could it be some unknown pupil technique divine ability?”
Mo Fan pondered thoughtfully, he had seen the opponent’s red pupils, when attaching flames to the long sword, but then both pupils turned red, with flames dancing, somewhat different from Bai Shuang’s description.
Thinking of this, he asked again, “What kind of illusion was it?”
“Very terrifying, pitch black, as if the entire world only had me left, there I felt nothing, no matter how I flew, all I saw was ink-like darkness, I didn’t even know how long I was inside.
That feeling was too frightening, I don’t want to experience it a second time.” Bai Shuang said with a face full of fear.
“It seems that fellow is more troublesome than we imagined.”
Mo Fan nodded, then saw Bai Shuang look at him, “How did you defeat him?”
“Just exchanged a few blows, didn’t determine a winner, but he was somewhat wary of me, so didn’t continue, later he withdrew himself.”
Mo Fan explained simply, not mentioning more detailed information about Tu Shan Yun Jun.
“Alright, good thing you were here, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have survived.”
Bai Shuang nodded bitterly, gritting her teeth, “Hope we don’t meet that fellow again, he’s simply a monster!”
“It’s fine now, let’s continue!”
Mo Fan smiled, not wanting to waste too much time on this, he needed to quickly deal with the other Wind Thunder Mountain demon cultivators, then fully focus on Lei Yu Zi Dian.
This trip to the Dragon Ruins was a chance for the Lei Yu family to eliminate him, but for Mo Fan, wasn’t it also a chance to eliminate Lei Yu Zi Dian?
He even had greater ambitions.
If he could devour a demon ancestor, the feedback power would surely be enough for him to break through to demon king!
Of course, what excited Mo Fan more was the various divine abilities of ancestor realm demon cultivators!
He did not believe Lei Yu Zi Dian only had the wind thunder light wheel divine ability.
Bai Shuang nodded, immediately took out the life jade to check, soon smiling at Mo Fan, “Looks like our luck is good.”
“How so?” Mo Fan looked at her.
“Originally Lei Yu Zi Dian brought eight teams inside, but now only three remain on the life jade!”
“That means, besides us dealing with these teams, considerable changes have occurred inside.”
Bai Shuang’s words also lifted Mo Fan’s spirits, thinking carefully he smiled, “That’s normal, after all, many powerhouses came to this Dragon Ruins, including personal disciples from human sacred grounds, those fellows see us demons as eyesores and thorns in their flesh, once discovered, they’ll strike ruthlessly.
Moreover, the Dragon Ruins itself has endless terrifying dragon blood creatures, if a dragon blood creature comparable to peak king realm appears, it’s a great disaster for the many treasure-hunting cultivators!”
“Yes, that’s what I think too.”
Bai Shuang smiled and nodded, then said no more, immediately rising on clouds, leading the way forward.
Mo Fan followed upon seeing this.
Two days later, after clearing a group of annoying dragon blood creatures, they finally saw another Wind Thunder Mountain demon cultivator team!
And the demon leading this time was Mo Fan’s old opponent.
The second great king of Lei Yu Mountain, Lei Yu Feng!
