Based on what Yao Yan said, they had invited many capable people this time, all of them possessing all sorts of lightning-attributed flames. Perhaps the matter was not as simple as what Xiao Chen said.
"Princess Yao Yan, what exactly is this evil Demon? Can you explain it to me in detail?"
What kind of evil Demon was it? To think that even Emperor Wu could not do anything to it, only fearing lightning-attributed flames. This piqued Xiao Chen's interest.
After a few rounds of transportation formations, they passed through the Primal Chaos Domain. Just as they were about to reach the Yellow Soil Demonic Garden, Xiao Chen casually asked about the evil Demon.
Princess Yao Yan appeared very fatigued. However, with Xiao Chen accompanying her, she was in a good mood. At the mention of this evil Demon, an unnatural expression of fear appeared in her eyes.
Princess Yao Yan sighed and answered, "This evil Demon has a humanoid appearance as well. However, it does not have a body of flesh and blood. It can consume the flesh and blood of cultivators to strengthen itself. The energy it uses is filled with evil Qi. It is different from any race in the Kunlun Realm, even different from the Deep Abyss Demonic Race.
"Regular Martial Techniques are practically useless against this evil Demon. Many of the Kunlun Realm's clansmen could not react at all before this evil Demon swallowed them whole.
"If not for lightning-attributed flames, which can deter this evil Demon, it would be hard to imagine what else in the world could suppress it.
"However, it does not matter this time. Several experts with lightning-attributed flames in the Kunlun Realm have accepted the invitation. Furthermore, with Young Master Xiao's help, we will definitely be able to settle this once and for all."
Xiao Chen looked at the empty Immortal Spirit Ring and felt it was unfortunate. If Ao Jiao were here, given her knowledge, she would definitely be of great help to him.
"Young Master Xiao, what's wrong? We are about to reach the Yellow Soil Demonic Garden.
We cannot fly anymore, "Princess Yao Yan reminded when she saw that Xiao Chen seemed somewhat distracted. The storm above the Yellow Soil Demonic Garden was famous.
Xiao Chen recovered his wits and smiled apologetically. Then, he landed on the Yellow Soil Demonic Garden with the other two.
After passing through the Yellow Soil Demonic Garden, the Chaos Devil Sea would pass. However, the Yellow Soil Demonic Garden was fraught with danger. There were mutated plant-type demonic beasts everywhere.
Among them, there were quite a few plants that had cultivated successfully and even developed spiritual intelligence. Even with Xiao Chen's current cultivation, he didn't dare to say that he could do whatever he wanted here.
Princess Yao Yan put the Thorn Monarch Hoop on her head. Some of the thorns on the Thorn Monarch Hoop were deeply embedded in her forehead, and blood was flowing out. Princess Yao Yan, on the other hand, didn't feel much pain. Waves of peaceful energy fused into her mind, filling her body with strength.
Yellow earth, gloomy jungle, and strange plants. Xiao Chen followed behind the two, not daring to relax his Divine Sense for even a moment.
Princess Yao Yan took care of quite a few plants and demon beasts along the way. With the Thorn Monarch Circlet, she was much stronger than Xiao Chen in the Yellow Soil Devil Garden.
The Thorn Monarch Circlet was a mysterious treasure passed down from ancient times. It had the ability to control, absorb, and devour plants. There were quite a few plants in the Yellow Soil Devil Garden that hadn't attacked yet. As long as they had any malicious intent, Princess Yao Yan would sense them in advance.
The green Thorn Monarch Circlet emitted motes of light. As it sat on Princess Yao Yan's head, it gave off an indescribable sense of nobility.
When some plants sensed the Thorn Monarch Circlet's power, they even took the initiative to open up a path. The Thorn Monarch Circlet was truly mystical.
Just like that, Princess Yao Yan walked into the depths of the Yellow Soil Devil Garden without any mishaps. Princess Yao Yan stopped in front of an ancient tree.
That ancient tree wasn't very tall, and it didn't have many leaves. However, its color was lush and dazzling.
When Princess Yao Yan arrived before the tree, she broke off a green leaf from the Thorn Monarch Circlet and gently handed it over.
A tree branch hung down like a human hand and grabbed the green leaf from the Thorn Monarch Circlet.
A human face appeared on the tree branch. It placed the green leaf in its mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Not bad. This is indeed a leaf from the Thorn Monarch Circlet. According to our agreement, I will send you on your way."
Xiao Chen's eyes lit up. This seemingly ordinary ancient tree was actually a spirit that had cultivated to a high level. "Whoosh! Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
Three tree branches flew over and wrapped around the waists of Xiao Chen's group. An irresistible force came from the tree branches, and the ancient tree sank into the ground with the three.
The scene changed quickly. It felt like time passed. When the three stabilized themselves, there was a vast sea in front of them. The Yellow Soil Devil Garden was already far behind them.
In one breath, the three had traveled more than half of the Yellow Soil Devil Garden. This ancient tree's strength was truly unfathomable.
When Yao Yan saw the sea, she heaved a sigh of relief. She removed the Thorn Monarch Circlet from her head, and her previously radiant face immediately turned dim and listless. Her eyes filled with exhaustion and indescribable fatigue.
It looked like the exhaustion of the Thorn Monarch Circlet was not something Princess Yao Yan could bear. Otherwise, she would not have asked the ancient tree to help her.
"Your Highness, are you alright?" Xiao Chen asked somewhat worriedly when he saw the situation. Was the other party in a rush?
"I'm fine. I'm fine now that I see the sea. Let's go. The elders and the others must have waited for a long time already."
Yao Yan smiled faintly, and her long, sky-blue hair fluttered in the sea breeze. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the smell of the sea in the wind. Then, she gently leaped up and landed in the vast sea.
The instant her legs touched the water, they immediately turned into a fish's tail. As she swam in the sea, Yao Yan seemed to become a different person. She waved at Xiao Chen and said, "Young Master Xiao, let's go!"
Electric light flashed under Xiao Chen's feet, and he landed beside Yao Yan in the blink of an eye. As he looked at the mermaid beside him, he was somewhat distracted.
Swaying her tail, Yao Yan led Xiao Chen down in the water. Her speed was astonishingly fast, simply like a water spirit. Xiao Chen, who had always been known for his speed, actually found it somewhat taxing to keep up.
After they sank to a depth of five kilometers, there was no longer any sunlight in the sea. It was pitch-black. Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense was affected; he could only see a kilometer around him.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a multi-colored light lit up below. When Xiao Chen looked over, he saw a huge, dream-like castle at the bottom of the sea. A barrier of light surrounded the castle.
The scene before Xiao Chen brightened, sweeping away the pitch-black darkness. There were corals swaying at the bottom of the sea, Merfolk moving about, and blooming sea trees. The entire scene was gorgeous. Words could not describe the wonder of the seabed.
Yao Yan revealed sincere joy on her face. She said, "This is the nation of our Merfolk Race. There are still some tribes in other places. In the future, when I have time, I will bring the White Robed King around again."
Xiao Chen reveled in this beautiful scene, feeling somewhat confused. The Merfolk Race was famous for their ferocity on land. Unexpectedly, he could not see any of that here.
"Young Master Xiao, there is no need to be surprised. Our Merfolk Race is the most hospitable to our friends. However, against our enemies, even the most beautiful girl will pick up a short sword and fight," Yao Yan said softly.
Xiao Chen was not the only one. Any outsider who came to the Merfolk Nation would have the same question. Xiao Chen was not the only one; any outsider who came to the Merfolk Nation would have such doubts.
"Your Highness!"
A group of Merfolk warriors swam over and bowed to Yao Yan in an orderly fashion. Xiao Chen had seen this group before. It was Mu Yun, who had been with Yao Yan in the Sage Mark Monument's treasure pavilion.
After not seeing Mu Yun for two years, Mu Yun's strength had improved significantly. With a cursory glance, Xiao Chen discovered that Mu Yun was already a peak Medial Grade Martial Sage.
Mu Yun looked at Xiao Chen with joy on his face. He performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "The White Robed King has come. It is truly an honor."
Originally, Mu Yun only wanted to borrow some fire. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen came personally. Naturally, he was pleasantly surprised.
When the Merfolk warriors heard Mu Yun address Xiao Chen as the White Robed King, they all looked over and sized him up curiously. They could not help whispering to each other, discussing in whispers.
Xiao Chen really could not continue being addressed like this. He simply did not like the term White Robed King. He said, "My King title has not been decided yet. I hope that everyone will not mention the title of White Robed King again."
Mu Yun smiled and said, "The White Robed King is too humble. Although your King title has not been decided yet, Young Master Xiao is definitely worthy of the title of White Robed King."
When Yao Yan saw that Xiao Chen's expression was somewhat unnatural, he smiled faintly and changed the topic. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Mu Yun, are the experts of the various factions ready?"
When Xiao Chen spoke of proper matters, Mu Yun's expression turned grave. He said, "They have been preparing for a long time already. This time, Princess was able to invite the White Robed King over personally. There will undoubtedly be more opportunities on this trip."
Mu Yun led the two through the light barrier, isolating them from the seawater. Then, Yao Yan and Mu Yun naturally reverted to human form and flew in the air.
After sending people to arrange a place for Xiao Chen to stay, Mu Yun and Yao Yan quickly took their leave from Xiao Chen.
"This is it."
A gentle and pretty Merfolk Race girl led Xiao Chen to a luxurious courtyard. She said softly, "Young Master Xiao, rest here for the night. Tomorrow morning, I will bring Young Master to meet with the others. I will be in the side hall. If you have any instructions, you can call me at any time. "
Everything in the courtyard was fine. Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "You may withdraw first. Just come and call me tomorrow morning."
"How can I do that? Young Master is an honored guest that His Highness personally welcomed. Naturally, I will serve you well and cannot leave on my own."
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "Since I am an honored guest, naturally, I have the final say. You may withdraw first. There is only one night. Why would I need to take care of me?"
After dismissing the maidservant, Xiao Chen prepared to enter his room to cultivate. Suddenly, two people landed outside the door and walked over to Xiao Chen.
When Xiao Chen turned his head to look, he was stunned. Why are these two people here?
These two people were none other than the Muddy Sky Gate's Young Master, Qi Wuxue, and the White Bone Sovereign's descendant, Long Fei.
Seeing Qi Wuxue was already surprising enough for Xiao Chen. Now, seeing Long Fei astonished him. This fellow had been chopped in half by Xiao Chen's saber strike. In less than two months, he had actually recovered.
"White Robed King, how have you been? Do you find it strange to see us?"
Qi Wuxue walked over with a wide smile. Long Fei held a folding fan in his hand, looking like a pale scholar. When he saw Xiao Chen, he did not show any deep hatred or bitterness.
Based on the indistinct state of ruin in Long Fei's eyes, this fellow had managed to comprehend the will of ruin on his own after losing the Ruin Trident. His strength had probably soared significantly.
"Don't be so shocked. Since you can come to this place, naturally, we can come as well. You are not the only one with a lightning-attributed flame. We were invited as well. Of course, we are not as honored as you are, needing Princess Yao Yan to personally invite us."
