Volume 6: The Key to the Demonic World Chapter 22 A Phantom in the Sky

"Sister Lili, Brother Yi will be okay, right?" Zeze turned her head and looked back at the green peak where Mo Yi was. There were dazzling lightning in the blue sky and the sea of clouds was rolling. It was an ominous sign no matter how you looked at it.
"Don't worry, don't worry. They say a disaster will live a thousand years , and Mo Yi is a peerless disaster. He will definitely live a thousand years. He will be fine." How could Wei Xingying miss such a great opportunity to ridicule Mo Yi? However, the woman behind him slashed his back with a knife, almost breaking his old bones: "You dead girl, you're protecting him like this before you even get married!"
Ying Lili rolled her eyes at him rudely, ignoring his presence. She walked over and patted Ze Ze's head: "Don't worry, your brother Yi is no pushover. Those stinky Taoist priests are no match for him."
"But Lili, isn't it too risky to leave Mo Yi alone there to hold those people back? His elder brother, Huai Lian, is the one with the highest cultivation among the young disciples of Wuji Immortal Palace. It is said that he has received the true teachings of their master..." Qingluan's face also showed a trace of worry at this time. She had heard about Huai Lian's strength. Although Huai Lian did not participate in the last competition between Wuji Immortal Palace and Penglai Fairyland, Qingluan was not unfamiliar with the rumors about this person.
The number one disciple under the current master of Yunshui Pavilion in Wuji Immortal Palace is said to be the best among the younger generation of Wuji Immortal Palace and is quite loved by their master. There are even rumors that he had already achieved the legendary state of "man and sword becoming one" hundreds of years ago. Qingluan didn't believe it at first, but after seeing it with her own eyes, she believed that those rumors might be true.
Although he is Mo Yi's brother, it is said that the Wuji Immortal Palace has strict rules and extremely strict restrictions on its disciples. The disciples are also very loyal. Looking at Huai Lian's previous reaction, we can see that although those fellow disciples have been forcing him, he has always refused to betray his master. Therefore, Qingluan does not have much confidence that they can successfully persuade Huai Lian to rebel.
She was even more afraid that Huai Lian was a stubborn blockhead. If he joined forces with the disciples of Wuji Immortal Palace to deal with Mo Yi, it would be a big question whether Mo Yi could escape unscathed.
Seeing Qingluan's worry, Gonglili raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Don't worry, I have confidence in Brother Yi, and even more confidence in Huai Lian. As the saying goes, a hero's heart has a broad world. I believe that Huai Lian is a true hero. He yearns for a wider world than anyone else! He will make the decision!"
"We have more important things to do!" Before she finished speaking, Yinglili turned around and slowly stretched out a hand. Suddenly, a bluish-white light flowed in her palm. Then, she twisted two fingers lightly, and a green flame slowly rose from her fingertips and flew straight towards the inky barrier. Then, a water-colored halo rippled on the edge of the inky barrier. But at this moment, Yinglili's figure was slightly stunned. Without any warning, she turned her hand and slapped it towards somewhere behind her!
There was a loud bang, as if something was knocked away. Everyone looked carefully and found that a huge deep pit was smashed into the ground not far away!
Everything happened in that instant. It seemed that no one except Gong Lili had reacted to what was happening. Gong Lili's eyebrows were raised, and her golden brown eyes were cold and intimidating. "Since you are here, show yourself! Don't play tricks on me!"
At this moment, a thin wisp of smoke suddenly rose from the deep pit. From within the swirling smoke, a sinister male voice came towards the wind: "You really can't judge a person by their appearance. You look like a delicate little girl, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless!"
"Have you been following us for a long time? Your target should be Huai Lian, why are you following us?" Ping Lili raised his chin slightly and looked coldly in the direction of the wisp of smoke.
As the mist gradually dissipated, a man in white clothes with a strong demonic aura and long hair loosely tied with a green hairpin, with his collar hanging in front of a half-open neckline, gradually appeared. His slender and upturned eyebrows stared at Ying Lili with interest. When he looked back, he was full of charm. His watery lips were pursed into a line, drawing out an extremely gloomy and enchanting smile. There was actually a blood-red cinnabar mole between the eyebrows of this enchanting man, which made him particularly eye-catching.
Monster! This is a top-grade monster!
Ying Lili immediately made a judgment about this person in her heart. A man who looks like this must be a devil or a monster, definitely not a mortal!
His eyes were watery, and he didn't answer Ying Lili's question. He just stared at her, looking her up and down unscrupulously. His enchanting peach blossom eyes flashed with a sinister gleam, and his charming smile concealed a hint of danger. I had originally thought Shen Fei was already the ultimate evildoer, but compared to the person before me, Shen Fei was afraid he could only cover his face and cry.
At this time, the Purple Cloud Beast seemed to have sensed the demonic aura emanating from this man. It roared angrily, leaped up, and stood in front of Gong Lili.
"Bai E, why are you here?" The Purple Cloud Beast's voice was colder than ever before. Everyone present was stunned. They didn't expect that the Purple Cloud Beast actually knew this monster. Could it be that this guy was also a monster like the Purple Cloud Beast?
"What? Only you are allowed to come, but I am not? This is not the territory of your Purple Cloud Beast." The charming man called Bai E glanced at the Purple Cloud Beast. His slender eyes were narrowed like a crescent moon. He swept his gaze towards Gong Lili again, but it was a charming glance that flew into his temples, making Gong Lili's hair stand on end and his whole body tremble.
"Silly girl, do you think he has taken a fancy to you? Does he want to take you back to be his wife or something?" Wei Xingying held silver needles in her hand, all of which were aimed at the fatal points of the charming man, but she was in no hurry to act. Instead, she shook her head jokingly and teased Gong Lili. Unexpectedly, before Gong Lili could make a move, Qingluan pinched Wei Xingying's wrist fiercely, and she had to keep silent obediently, but the silver needles in her hand were ready to go.
"Don't act rashly!" Ying Lili pushed aside Wei Xingying who was blocking her way and whispered to everyone. Then she walked a few steps to Bai E and raised her face with a half-smile: "Origin, purpose."
These four short words were without a trace of emotion, and the voice was as cold as ten thousand years of ice.
"Oh, you have quite a temper." Bai E seemed not to care at all about the Purple Cloud Beast in front of him. He gently stroked his long hair that half hung on his chest with his hand, and looked straight at Ying Lili with his charming eyes: "That old guy is right, you are an interesting girl. I really want to take you back to my cave and make you my concubine~ Hahahaha"
"Stop the nonsense! If you don't want to sacrifice your inner elixir to me for my beauty, then you'd better be frank and tell me your origins and purpose." What a joke! It was always Gong Lili who was the hooligan who teased others, so how could this evil man get the chance to tease her? Gong Lili raised an eyebrow and interrupted his nonsense impatiently.
"Inner elixir? You swallowed the blood dragon's inner elixir?" Bai E's smile froze in an instant, and a hint of coldness gradually appeared in his eyes as he looked at Gong Lili.
"Do you still want me to spit it out for you? Sorry, the inner elixir has been digested long ago, and there is no residue left." While Gong Lili smiled awkwardly, the spiritual power around her quickly gathered at her fingertips. Could it be that this person, no, this monster, came to avenge his former companion, the Thousand-Year Blood Dragon?
"I don't want to fight with you. I'm here to cooperate with you." Bai E concealed her previous charming look and her expression gradually became gloomy.
Hearing this, Ying Lili was slightly startled. Was there anything worth collaborating on between them? She subconsciously glanced at the Purple Cloud Beast. Seeing its noncommittal expression, she suddenly became interested in the person before her, no, this demon. "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."
"You want to explore this 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation', and I want to break it, so I think we need to cooperate." Bai E raised a finger and pointed at the barrier behind Ying Lili. His confident tone seemed to be certain that Ying Lili would cooperate with him.
"You attacked Huai Lian before in order to destroy this 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation'?" Ying Lili closed her eyes slightly and chuckled suddenly, but the expression on her face made it impossible for the other party to guess what her plan was.
"You should already know that the Taoist priest named Huai Lian is the master of the 'Xuanmo Fuxi Formation'. If we take away the 'Spiritual Sound' from him, the formation will naturally be broken." Bai E did not hide it. After all, it was no secret that they wanted to kill Huai Lian.
"Then why don't you follow the footsteps of the thousand-year-old blood dragon and continue to fight him to the death, why follow us?" Gong Lili chuckled and looked at the top-notch monster in front of her with a playful expression. A hint of sarcasm flashed in her golden-brown eyes for a moment, as if to say, stop pretending with me and go back to practice.
After her eyes swept over Bai E, she inadvertently glanced at Ze Ze who was not far away from her. Their eyes met briefly, and then turned away imperceptibly.
"Your lover is quite powerful. He is considered a top master in the Xuming Continent." Bai E did not directly answer Gong Lili's question. Instead, he changed the subject and brought the topic to Mo Yi.
Hearing the other party praising Mo Yi, Ying Lili actually smiled sincerely this time and accepted the compliment on Mo Yi's behalf without hesitation: "That's right, the person I, Ying Lili, like is definitely a dragon and phoenix among men, a person who can stand tall and proud."
This was such rude self-boasting that even Wei Xingying behind her could hardly stand it. If Wei Xingying didn't know that Gong Lili was definitely not the kind of person who would get carried away by praise, he would probably have made some sarcastic remarks at this moment.
"Hehe, it's stupid to make enemies with two top masters of the Xu Ming Continent at the same time. That Blood Dragon didn't know the time and it's his own fault to die in your hands." Unexpectedly, Bai E suddenly changed the subject. He first admitted that he was no match for Mo Yi and Huai Lian together, and then ridiculed his dead companion, making it clear that he changed his mind temporarily because he couldn't beat Mo Yi and Huai Lian. This guy is quite good at changing with the times.
"What exactly do you want, sir? Why don't you just speak frankly? I don't have that much time to beat around the bush with you." Yinglili's eyes gradually cooled down. She didn't have that much time to talk nonsense with this man.
