Feng Yue Cheng, Inn.
Everyone from He Clan was resting here.
"Damn it, we were so close to getting first place!"
In the room, He Nian said in a cold tone.
"We didn't expect a sudden breakthrough, but we still have a chance to win tomorrow's round!" He Ming said in a deep voice.
He still wanted to say something, but he frowned and shouted coldly, "Who is it, come out!"
Whoosh!
A black fog floated in and rolled in the air, forming a human figure.
"Old Black Heart? What are you doing here! "He Ming shouted coldly, no longer as humble as he was during the day.
"Hmph, it's you!" Elder Black Heart's eyes flashed, black Qi surrounded his body.
"What's your goal this time, the White Dragon Ascension Pill?"
"That's none of your business." He Ming sneered, "Old Black Heart, I won't let you get the pill."
"Then let's wait and see. I don't believe that you guys can achieve anything in alchemy!" Elder Black Heart sneered, his body turned into ghost fog again and disappeared in the air.
"He's from Black Heart Hall?" He Nian was puzzled.
He Ming nodded, "Don't hold back, we must get the pill."
"Have a good rest, you must win tomorrow's competition." He Ming said a few more words and left.
Dan Emperor Hall.
A dark red shadow floated towards the eastern pavilion, it didn't attract anyone's attention.
In the room, Lin Xuan was sitting cross-legged, trying his best to stabilize his soul realm.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
His gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing through the void and flying out of the room.
Ding Ding!
The sound of collision was heard. Lin Xuan's feet flashed and he appeared outside the door.
"Don't you think it's too late to leave?" He stretched out his palm, silver lightning surged, forming a dragon claw.
It was like a dragon-capturing hand, grabbing at the dark red shadow.
Weng!
Even a Harmonious Spirit expert would be injured by this attack.
The dark red shadow didn't expect Lin Xuan to be so strong. Seeing the silver claw about to grab him, his body emitted a dark red light.
Bang!
Lin Xuan grabbed him with his palm. The shadow groaned and used a secret technique, turning into a ray of light and quickly escaped.
"Eh?"
Lin Xuan was astonished. He felt that the thing he had grabbed was slippery and disgusting.
He retracted his hand and looked at it carefully.
"What's this?" Lin Xuan was stunned. What he had grabbed was actually a piece of snakeskin.
On top of the snakeskin, there was a red pill robe.
"This is the He family's clothing, but why is it made of snakeskin?" Lin Xuan was puzzled. "Could it be …"
He didn't dare to continue thinking about it. This kind of thing was too terrifying.
No, he had to tell Old Man Dique.
Lin Xuan took the item and disappeared on the spot.
"Senior Di Que, are you asleep?" Lin Xuan quickly arrived in front of a hall.
"Hehe, Little Friend Lin, what's the matter at this hour?" Old Man Di Que pushed his wheelchair out with a puzzled look on his face.
"Look at this," Lin Xuan said as he handed the snakeskin over.
"This is …" Di Que's pupils constricted. "Where did you get it?"
His voice trembled slightly, as if he had seen something terrifying.
"Someone was spying on us just now and I caught him. That person left behind this snakeskin, but his true body escaped.
"And this red pill robe should belong to the He family."
"There's indeed something wrong with them." Di Que's expression was solemn. "I'm going out."
…
In the magnificent hall, the elders had solemn expressions.
"Old Han, are you sure?" asked President Meng Chuan.
"Yes, this snakeskin was left behind by the He family," said Di Que. "We can be sure that they aren't humans."
Everyone looked at the scarlet snakeskin and felt their scalps tingle.
Thinking back to the competition during the day, their hearts trembled.
Could it be that they were competing with a group of monsters during the day?
"It's better if we confirm it," President Meng Chuan said cautiously. "You should know what this snakeskin represents."
"I'll accompany you," said Di Que. "Bring Lin Xuan along. He was the one who discovered it."
The two of them quickly arrived at the Pill Emperor Hall and found Lin Xuan.
"We're going to investigate the He family." President Meng Chuan explained his intentions.
"If this is true, I'm afraid Skymountain Country will be in trouble."
Lin Xuan nodded. He could sense the seriousness of the situation.
The three of them moved and ran towards the He family's residence.
Not long after, they arrived outside the inn.
"Conceal your aura," said President Meng Chuan.
Lin Xuan activated the black cloak, and his entire person seemed to have disappeared.
With a tap of his feet, he landed on the roof like cotton.
"There seems to be a defensive mechanism, but I can crack it," whispered Di Que. Then, he waved his sleeve, and a mirror appeared in his hand.
Circulating his spirit energy, the mirror emitted a faint light. Di Que aimed it at the room.
Soon, a series of images appeared on the mirror.
"How magical?" Lin Xuan was surprised that the mirror could reproduce the scene in the room.
This way, they didn't have to use their soul power, nor did they have to worry about being discovered.
Inside the room, a petite figure was sitting on the ground. A large red robe wrapped around her body.
"This person should be He Nian." The three of them communicated mentally. "She's cultivating."
The three of them waited patiently, like experienced hunters.
Hiss —
After a long while, the image on the mirror changed.
The large red robe began to expand as though it was being propped up by something.
Rip!
The sound of cloth tearing could be heard as the red robe shattered, revealing He Nian's body.
At that moment, she was no longer petite. Instead, she had become very muscular.
A thin slit suddenly appeared on her head.
Pfft! Pfft!
The crack grew larger and larger as a ferocious snake head poked out with green mucus.
Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he frowned.
This was too horrifying! The originally petite He Nian was actually a snake in human skin!
Hiss!
A piece of human skin landed on the ground. Behind the ferocious snake head was a body covered in scales. It was similar to a human.
"What's this?" Lin Xuan was stunned. He originally thought that it would be a snake-type demon beast, but from the looks of it, that wasn't the case.
"It's a demon," said Meng Chuan in a deep voice.
"Demon?" Lin Xuan was alarmed. Among demon beasts, there were higher-level existences. They were known as demons.
This was because these demons were no longer in the form of beasts. Instead, they resembled humans in certain areas. For example, although the snake demon below had a snake head, it had a human body.
"Hiss, my main body is still the most comfortable. I'm suffocating to death from hiding in my small body during the day!" The snake demon actually spoke in human language.
Her neck was slender, and her body was like a snake's. She could easily reach the roof.
Pfft!
The snake head stretched out and absorbed the moonlight's powers with all its might.
In the shadows, Lin Xuan and company had solemn expressions. It was actually a snake demon. This was too shocking.
"Demons are even rarer than Spirit Channeling experts. Why would they appear here?" Earth Scarce was puzzled.
