You Lang lowered his hands. The magic formation still glowed.
He looked at Huan Qianyu beside him. His expression was a bit stiff, as if he didn't know how to face her.
"I've saved your father's life. It's also a repayment for your father's kindness. From now on... if you guys still do evil things, I won't show any mercy."
You Lang left a menacing warning and then left the cave alone.
Shen Qing worriedly wanted to follow him, but was grabbed by Li Xian's wrist.
"Let him be alone. Don't disturb him."
Shen Qing sighed and could only let You Lang leave.
It wasn't that she was being meddlesome. She was just worried that those from the Main God's Temple would detect You Lang's presence and attack him.
"Qianyu..."
"Father!"
Huan Zhong weakly let out a sound. Seeing the magic formation he was in, he immediately understood that his life had been saved by You Lang.
Just a moment ago, he really thought he was going to die.
Seeing Huan Qianyu crying with joy, his heart didn't relax. Instead, it became even heavier. He had witnessed what the Huan family had done back then. Although they had been ordered by the previous Demon Lord, they were still the ones who carried out the deeds.
You Lang was able to let go of his hatred and save him. He was extremely grateful.
Thinking like this, he realized that the Demon Realm he had been loyal to for nearly ten thousand years was not as good as an enemy with a deep - seated hatred.
"Qianyu, don't cry. Father can still protect you."
Hearing this, Huan Qianyu cried even harder. After the great joy and sorrow, she felt drowsy. Seeing that Huan Zhong was okay, she fainted halfway through crying.
Her head hit the stone heavily, making a loud noise.
Everyone in the cave was attracted by the sound and looked over.
"Qianyu! Wake up quickly! Oh, your head is bleeding. You've broken it."
Huan Zhong struggled to get up but found that his body seemed to be restricted by the magic formation and couldn't move.
He hurriedly looked around, his eyes full of pleading: "My daughter is injured. Please help!"
Shen Qing's expression was a bit speechless. This father - daughter pair was really one more troublesome than the other.
In the end, a group of sickly people sat around Huan Zhong in the cave. Huan Qianyu and Chu Lanqiu both had bandages on their heads, one with a wound in the front and the other in the back.
Shen Qing's whole body ached. Her back had been rubbed against the stone wall and was damaged in many places.
Needless to say, Li Xian felt a stabbing pain even if his back was slightly touched.
And the only uninjured person, Xian Shiyu, was busy running around for everyone, bringing tea and medicine, never having a moment's rest.
Huan Zhong's injury wasn't completely healed yet. He was still nourished in the magic formation. If he wanted to move, he could only wriggle like a maggot.
Later, he found this posture too embarrassing, so he simply lay still.
After calming down for a long time, You Lang finally came back. He still remembered to help Chu Lanqiu hatch the egg.
After that, Shen Qing and Li Xian couldn't help anymore. So the group set up a barrier. Some were hatching eggs, some were treating injuries, and Shen Qing was busy re - integrating the spiritual bones into her body.
Time passed quickly, and the deadline for the second round was approaching.
After the efforts of the three and Huan Zhong's occasional guidance, the spiritual beast egg still... failed to hatch successfully.
Chu Lanqiu slumped down, holding the demon egg and sighing constantly: "I clearly followed your method. The demonic energy in the demon egg has been completely removed, but it still looks the same through the eggshell."
"Sigh..."
You Lang was also puzzled. Although he couldn't fully understand the inheritance, purifying the demonic beast through the magic formation was the best solution he could come up with after considering all the methods.
But now it didn't seem to work either.
For Huan Zhong, who was more proficient in using demonic energy, it was also quite incredible.
Although he knew that once something was contaminated with demonic energy, it was very difficult to remove it. But with the demonic energy removed so cleanly, the spiritual beast still didn't return to its original appearance, which was really puzzling.
This was the second time he had seen the Nether White Wolf use its inheritance. Although the mystery was hard to understand, he could feel the vitality in it.
It wasn't hard for him to guess why the demons wanted this part of the inheritance. They just wanted to know how the Nether White Wolf clan could skip the stage of cultivating into a human and directly transform into a human form to cultivate into an immortal.
The Dragon clan was born in response to the heaven and earth and was originally favored by the Heavenly Dao. The mystery of its inheritance was all - encompassing.
If this inheritance was known by a person with ulterior motives, they could rise to the top in one step.
But if that were the case, wouldn't all the gods and Buddhas in the sky be just opportunistic people?
Fortunately, the Nether White Wolf clan had been tight - lipped for ten thousand years and hadn't leaked a single bit of information.
Moreover, the number of the Nether White Wolf clan was only decreasing. The demons in the Demon Realm didn't dare to torture the clan members to force them to speak.
After all, every one killed meant one less.
The birth of a little wolf cub like Tuanyuan was already a rare event for the Nether White Wolf clan.
"Lanqiu, if you start hatching another egg now, is it still too late?"
Chu Lanqiu shook her head: "Since I decided to hatch this demon egg, I've never thought of changing to another one."
"Then is there any other way?" Shen Qing turned her gaze to You Lang.
You Lang pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "There's only one last way left."
He turned his gaze to Chu Lanqiu. His eyes were obscure, but the tightly pursed lips made Chu Lanqiu guess the method in You Lang's mouth.
"Is it... to nourish it with my heart - blood?"
Shen Qing frowned: "Why do this? If this method works, are we going to take out our heart - blood every time we see a demonic beast?"
"No, I've thought of another way!"
Xian Shiyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. Her eyes sparkled with golden light, and her expression was a bit excited.
"What's the method?"
"Listen to me..."
Xian Shiyu lowered her head and rambled on. It took everyone a while to understand, and their expressions were a bit indescribable.
"Will this really work?"
"How do we know if we don't try?"
"That's true, but it's not that easy to get this thing."
"Hey, don't you forget, sister has a lot of them."
Shen Qing raised her eyebrows, took out the bag of inner elixirs from her storage bag, and placed it in front of Chu Lanqiu.
"Help yourself."
Chu Lanqiu looked around embarrassedly, then reached in and took out one of the inner elixirs: "Then... shall we try?"
The deadline for the second round arrived, and everyone gathered on the training ground.
The disciples whose spiritual beast eggs had broken stood dejectedly in front of their tables. Those tables were originally for placing the hatched little spiritual beasts.
In front of Fei Fei was placed a spiritual beast egg. Its surface was smooth and seemed to have a glorious light. He lifted his chin proudly and looked around.
This spiritual beast egg was a top - grade one. He had bought it with three hundred top - grade spiritual stones in the Treasure Pavilion. It was said that this egg could hatch a top - grade contracted spiritual beast.
Fei Fei deliberately extended the hatching time of the spiritual beast, just wanting to hatch this spiritual beast himself under everyone's envious gazes.
Among the disciples present, only seven had spiritual beasts or spiritual beast eggs placed on their tables.
There was still an empty table. It was Chu Lanqiu's place.
Seeing that Chu Lanqiu hadn't appeared for a long time, Fei Fei's eyes became even more proud.
He was certain that Chu Lanqiu was definitely going to lose this round.
