The Fire Cloud Monster was proficient in the Fire Escape Technique. If it was in the Yehuo Plains, it could use the flowing flames to hide. However, there was no space for it to use the Fire Escape Technique here.
The eagle-bodied beast soared in the sky and caught up again in a few breaths.
The Fire Cloud Monster panicked. The one chasing after it was a Combination Stage old monster. Even if it was at its peak, it would still have to be careful, let alone now that it was injured.
The Fire Cloud Monster fled as it said, "If it's because of my disrespect, I hope Senior Lu can forgive me."
"You know too much." Lu Xiaotian had already heard the Fire Cloud Monster's speculation. How could he let the Fire Cloud Monster go? When he fled from Yuan Ling City to the Yehuo Plains, he heard about the Fire Cloud Monster's power from the mouths of those rat demons. Several hundred years had passed, and the Fire Cloud Monster was still in the Divine Illusionary Realm. The Fire Cloud Monster didn't say anything else. It was vexed that it came out of the Yehuo Plains. If it was in the Yehuo Plains, it might have a chance to escape. However, it didn't have any confidence now.
A dark cloud covered its head. The Fire Cloud Monster looked up in shock. It saw that the eagle-bodied beast had already covered the sky above it and swooped down. It was like an eagle hunting its prey.
Its sharp claws swiped down, and several blood-red claw shadows descended from the sky.
Whoosh, whoosh. The blood-red claw shadows clawed into the several acres of fire cloud. Flames exploded inside, and the fire cloud rolled even more violently than before. Suddenly, the fire cloud exploded into four unconnected parts, and then flew in four directions at the same time.
"You have some tricks up your sleeve." The eagle-bodied beast's tone was emotionless. It spread its wings, and suddenly, four eagle-bodied beasts of similar size flew in four directions, catching up to the four red clouds at the same time.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Amidst the fierce claw images, the four clouds of fire exploded. There was actually no person or monster inside, only a pair of eyeballs the size of a human head, connected by a sliver of flesh and blood. It looked extremely horrifying.
"Looks like the Fire Cloud Monster isn't just a Divine Illusionary Realm monster. If I hadn't chased you out of the fire cloud, even I would have been fooled by you. This world is truly filled with all sorts of strange things. "
The eagle-bodied beast looked at the pair of human head-sized eyeballs in surprise. This monster only had a pair of eyes left, and a small part of its flesh connected to it, yet it was still able to survive until now. It was truly an anomaly. Lu Xiaotian thought to himself, I'm afraid that the strength of the owner of this pair of eyes far exceeds my current strength. Lu Xiaotian knew that if it were him, there was no way he would be able to survive under such circumstances.
It was no wonder that the Fire Cloud Monster was unable to advance to the Body Integration Realm even after spending so many years in the Yehuo Plains. If it was an ordinary person, they would have lost their life long ago, let alone breaking through. However, there had to be a reason why this monster had been wreaking havoc in the Yehuo Wilderness for so many years. Lu Xiaotian secretly thought that he had underestimated the degree of hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the Chaos Demon Region.
"I didn't expect you to force me to reveal my true form. I hope you can give me a way out. Don't force me to use the Death Curse." The pair of bloodshot eyeballs no longer had the panic that the Fire Cloud Monster had feigned. Instead, they were astonishingly calm and composed. They were also certain that Lu Xiaotian wouldn't attack because of this.
"The legendary Death Curse?" Lu Xiaotian was greatly surprised. Lu Xiaotian wasn't surprised that the pair of eyeballs addressed him as "little friend." The fact that the other party could still survive in this state meant that its realm was definitely far above his. He originally thought that he was just chasing a Divine Illusionary Realm junior. He didn't expect to catch a big fish.
"Since you've heard of the Death Curse, I'm sure you won't try it so easily."
The eyeballs suddenly flashed with a desolate gray color. Lu Xiaotian looked at them through the eagle-bodied beast's eyes. He instantly felt that there was no end to the desolation and bleakness. There was no vitality at all. Lu Xiaotian thought to himself that this old monster wasn't fooling him. Lu Xiaotian had already sensed a great crisis from this pair of eyeballs.
"Since you've changed your appearance and hid in the Yehuo Wilderness for so many years, you must be hiding or planning something. Now that I've seen your face, don't you plan to kill me with a borrowed knife?" Lu Xiaotian didn't relent because he felt threatened. The other party was just a pair of bloodshot eyeballs. Even if his realm was higher before, he might not be his opponent now. As for the Death Curse, Lu Xiaotian's true body wasn't here. Even if he gave up the eagle-bodied beast and kept the pair of eyeballs, it wouldn't be a bad idea for Lu Xiaotian.
Keeping such a huge hidden danger that could flare up at any time was much more threatening than losing a Sixth Soul Fusion eagle-bodied beast. Choosing the lesser of two evils. This time, Lu Xiaotian's trip to the Thousand Sound Temple was already very dangerous, and this old monster had already seen through his identity. Even if he leaked a bit of information, Lu Xiaotian was very likely to be ambushed by the Thousand Sound Temple.
"It seems that you're going to the Thousand Sound Temple for a purpose. What are you going to do?" The pair of big eyeballs that were only connected by a few bloodshot veins became gloomy.
"It's not what I'm going to do, but how can you dispel the doubts in my heart. If there's a way that both of us can accept, then it's naturally the best. Otherwise, I'll eliminate the hidden danger even if I have to give up this strange beast. " Lu Xiaotian's voice was indifferent. "With your previous realm, cultivation base, and knowledge, Fellow Daoist, I'm sure you can come up with a perfect solution."
Lu Xiaotian directly kicked the ball back to the pair of eyeballs.
"What's the purpose of little friend going to the Thousand Sound Temple?" The eyeballs asked.
"I'm going to retrieve a Buddhist sect treasure." Lu Xiaotian didn't say what it was. Even Pill King Li only told him that it was a green wooden box, but didn't say what was inside. Moreover, the green wooden box could only be opened with a special method. Otherwise, it would cause the box's self-destruction restriction to activate. In the end, it would all be for naught.
"You've just reached the Body Integration Realm not long ago, yet you dare to go to the Thousand Sound Temple to retrieve a Buddhist sect treasure. You have guts, "the eyeballs cackled." However, it's not without those bald donkeys' help that I've fallen to my current state. If you succeed, you can help me vent some of my anger. How about this, I have a jade box that can store my eyeballs. Put it in a spirit beast pouch. You can take me to the Thousand Sound Temple. That way, you won't have to worry about me plotting anything. "
Lu Xiaotian hesitated. The death curse art was no small matter. Right now, he was only using his secondary nascent spirit to control the eagle-bodied beast. Even if the other party used the death curse art, it would only affect his secondary nascent spirits at most. Apart from his primary nascent spirit, Lu Xiaotian had a total of twelve secondary nascent spirits. Naturally, he wasn't afraid. However, if he brought this old monster back to his side and used the death curse art on his main body, the consequences would be unpredictable.
