387: I've been waiting for you for a long time, finally here

When Shen Tu saw the white bone cauldron, he had a guess in his heart and said in a deep voice, "So the Demon-Human's next target might be the Yun family's white bone cauldron?"

"Highly likely."

Yun Lan said with a serious expression.

"......"

Shen Tu pressed his knees, his eyes filled with thought.

Lu Jin looked at Ku Zhu and asked directly, "If we act, what will the Three Sects give in return?"

Ku Zhu said, "If you all help us slay that Demon-Human, each person can obtain a cultivation method from the Three Sects, or spiritual medicine, or rare treasures; if you can follow us to that secret realm, you can also go to the Three Sects' territory to comprehend the inheritance methods!"

The cultivation methods and inheritance methods offered were naturally different, but with the Saint Academy's foundation, they probably wouldn't care too much about the Three Sects' cultivation methods.

The crucial part was the secret realm!

The secret realm was dangerous, but it also contained opportunities. If one could obtain them, it would be a great fortune, far more appealing than ordinary cultivation methods or treasures.

"......"

A glint flashed in Xie Weilou's eyes. Inheritance methods? He really had to go and see them!

After listening, Shen Tu's eyes showed no ripple. He continued to ask, "Has the origin of that Demon-Human been investigated clearly?"

Ku Zhu shook his head and said, "The opponent's methods are strange. He has the aura of a demon race, but he is not a demon race, nor is he a Demon-Human. He is very sinister and temporarily difficult to see through."

Shen Tu then asked, "If we are to investigate the Evil God Lake, will the Three Sects send out Profound Manifestation Realm or Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators?"

"Neither Profound Manifestation Realm nor Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators will appear. Only we will go."

Ku Zhu showed a bitter smile.

Since the Northern You Alliance, the Profound Manifestation Realm and Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators of the major sects would not easily leave their sects, as if they had sensed some crisis.

And a month ago, a mysterious force had attacked the Three Sects.

According to the Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators within the sect, this matter might be related to the Ten Thousand Demons Gate of the Demon Kingdom.

So now, the Profound Manifestation Realm and Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators of the Three Sects will not easily leave their sects, guarding against someone attacking their main base.

Shen Tu frowned slightly. If Profound Manifestation Realm and Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators did not come forward, their danger level would certainly be great if they went to the Evil God Lake. However, if the other party's Profound Manifestation Realm and Dragon Transformation Realm cultivators came forward, why would they need to follow?

He subconsciously looked at Jing Qiu: "Jing Qiu Shimei, what do you think about this matter?"

Jing Qiu said calmly, "First, deal with that Demon-Human! As for the Evil God Lake, since we're already here, we naturally have to go there too."

Danger and opportunity coexist. Being timid naturally makes it difficult to achieve great things.

Upon hearing this, Shen Tu smiled and nodded, "Then let's do as Shimei says."

A glint flashed in the eyes of Ku Zhu and the others. If the people from the Saint Academy were to go to the Evil God Lake together, then they naturally wouldn't mind taking the risk.

Yun Lan smiled and said, "Since that's the case, let's just wait for that Demon-Human to arrive! Everyone, please stay at my Yun family for now. I feel that Demon-Human might make his move tonight."

"Good!"

Everyone nodded lightly.

——

Night.

The moonlight shone down, carrying a hint of chill.

The Yun family's guards were several times more numerous than usual, with many cultivators guarding a seven-story pavilion.

Yun Lan had already placed the white bone cauldron in the pavilion, waiting for the Demon-Human to fall into his trap.

In another pavilion.

Xie Weilou was holding chopsticks, devouring the food on the table.

Shen Tu and the other two stood by the window, gazing at the seven-story pavilion not far away.

Lu Jin slowly said, "Will that Demon-Human appear tonight?"

Shen Tu pondered, "As long as he's truly after that white bone cauldron, he'll eventually appear."

Lu Jin said with a deep gaze, "I observed that white bone cauldron before and found that it suppressed a malevolent aura. Thinking about the names of the lost treasures of the Three Sects, they also seem to carry some sinister qualities."

"It's normal for things obtained from the Evil God Lake to be sinister. However, for that Demon-Human to be targeting them, these items must have something special about them."

Shen Tu said with a calm expression.

Lu Jin looked at Xie Weilou and said indifferently, "Fan Shidi is truly carefree. How can he still eat at a time like this?"

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "I'm a body refiner. I won't have strength if I don't eat enough!"

"Haha!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin said no more.

Jing Qiu took out a white jade compass. She pinched a hand seal, and the compass shimmered with a white light, constantly capturing the aura of the Yun family mansion.

A few breaths later.

Within the white light, two blood-red demonic auras suddenly appeared.

"Demonic aura......"

A faint light flashed in Jing Qiu's eyes. According to Ku Zhu, that Demon-Human carried the aura of a demon race. It seemed that person had arrived.

Boom!

At this moment, a roaring sound erupted from the Yun family mansion. A Mysterious Person, dressed in a black robe and wearing a mask, appeared. He looked indifferently at the seven-story pavilion, a bloody light flashing in his eyes.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. You're finally here!"

Yun Lan appeared at the top of the seven-story pavilion. He stared coldly at the Mysterious Person.

The Mysterious Person glanced at Yun Lan and said indifferently, "There are a few other Dao Repository Realm cultivators here. All of you, get out!"

With that, a Dao Repository Realm (Middle Stage) aura erupted from him.

Whoosh!

Ku Zhu and the other two flashed, instantly surrounding the Mysterious Person.

"You demon, quickly hand over the item from my Tianyin Temple."

Ku Zhu brought out a Zen staff, staring coldly at the Mysterious Person.

"Four Dao Repository (Early Stage) cultivators can be suppressed with just one hand!"

The Mysterious Person said indifferently.

"What about if you add us?"

Shen Tu and Lu Jin flew down. Shen Tu brought out a war halberd, and Lu Jin held a folding fan.

Xie Weilou and Jing Qiu flew out of the pavilion but did not go forward.

Jing Qiu glanced at Xie Weilou and said in a cold tone, "There's another expert hidden in the dark. You and I will attack together later."

Her compass detected two demonic auras, so there should be two people.

"......"

Xie Weilou nodded lightly.

"Attack!"

Shen Tu wasted no words. He swung his war halberd, instantly attacking the Mysterious Person. The others also didn't hesitate and immediately launched their attacks on the Mysterious Person.

Rumble!

The battle began, the ground exploded, and many pavilions were shattered into dust.

Xie Weilou and Jing Qiu were still waiting.

Bang!

A few breaths later, Shen Tu and the others were sent flying by a palm strike from the Mysterious Person. The Mysterious Person did not charge towards the seven-story pavilion but continued to attack the crowd.

Whoosh!

As everyone was fighting, a man in brocade robes walked towards the seven-story pavilion. This person was Yun Han, and the surrounding guards did not stop him.

"It's him!"

A faint light flashed in Jing Qiu's eyes. Her figure moved, instantly appearing in front of Yun Han. She extended her hand, and a long sword appeared in her grasp.

"You are not that Yun family young master."

Jing Qiu pointed her sword at Yun Han, a chilling sword qi permeating, surrounding Yun Han.

"......"

Yun Han raised an eyebrow. An aura of a Dao Repository Realm (Late Stage) permeated. He brought out a blood-colored long blade, instantly striking at Jing Qiu.

"Dao Repository Realm (Late Stage)......"

Jing Qiu showed no fear, meeting the attack with her sword. As someone on the Saint Academy's Dragon-Tiger Rankings, she naturally had her own reliance.

Boom!

Blade and sword clashed, and a powerful force erupted. Jing Qiu and Yun Han were both pushed back more than ten meters.

Jing Qiu stomped her foot, steadying herself. She pinched a sword art, and dozens of sword qi appeared, fiercely shooting towards Yun Han.

Om!

Yun Han swung his long blade, quickly parrying.

"......"

Xie Weilou watched calmly from the side. Jing Qiu's strength was good; she shouldn't lose. He just needed to finish the job later.
