iaoqiao receiving your favoritism, Senior Lu. This matter is probably a misunderstanding. I wonder if you could release them to General Hou and Senior Xiao." Xiang Lian'er gathered her courage at this..."Since you're here, why not appear before me" Lu Xia Tian's shadow was also reflected under the moonlight. He extended his divine sense outward, trying to capture that demonic figure. It was quite strange. Even with his powerful soul, he couldn't fully grasp the other party's whereabouts.

“Lu XiaTian, I don’t want to be your enemy, but I’m not afraid of you either. Jia XiaoLin is working for me. You will return the Ju Ying Mo Hu to me, and our accounts will be settled.” A faint voice entered Lu XiaTian’s ear as the shadow in mid-air twisted.

“Is there a gathering-shadow magic gourd inside Jia Xiaolin’s Sumeru ring” Lu Xiaotian said in surprise.

“As you can see.” said that voice.

"I didn't realize that." Lu Xia Tian shook his head. "Besides, you and I are hard to tell friend from foe. Even if there was one, why would I give the demon to you You're being a little too imaginative."

Lu Xia Tian said, as he squinted his eyes at the moment. From this faint demonic shadow, he vaguely sensed a familiar aura.

That wisp of aura bore a faint resemblance to the previous Demon Blood taint.

"What you mean is to take it for yourself. This thing is useless to you, why provoke disaster upon yourself" the demonic figure said coldly.

“Though I may not be able to use it, I’m not in the habit of easily giving it to others.” Lu XiaTian shook his head. Jia XiaoLin was already dead, and the other party’s words were conclusive. This matter wasn't something he wanted to deny or could deny. However, the other party didn't directly take action, which gave Lu XiaTian a certain sense of security in his heart. If the other party truly had complete confidence, why would they be so polite It must be that they couldn't do anything about him. Since that was the case, what did Lu XiaTian have to fear

"Very well, I hope you won't regret this later." The demonic figure laughed with fury.

Under the bright moonlight, the shadowy figure gradually faded away. Lu Xia Tian felt a chill in his heart. Until the very end, he couldn't even find the other party's whereabouts. Such skill was unlike what a late-stage Fusion Realm expert would possess.

“Not good!” Lu Xiaotian’s expression changed drastically. In an instant, a black shadow separated from Lu Xiaotian’s body. The Lotus avatar had already silently hidden within the cave abode. As for Lu Xiaotian himself, he rushed towards Zhu Qi, Bai Li and the rest of his old friends.

"What's going on" Zhu Qi and the others looked up at the gathering storm clouds above their heads, each of their faces changing color.

From within the dark clouds, piercing cries of demonic roars rose one after another. It seemed as if a malevolent demonic realm had already formed above their heads.

Just as the demon domain had just formed, a gigantic handprint appeared in the void and struck down upon the raging demonic clouds with a deafening roar. Suddenly, ghostly wails and howls filled the air. The swirling demonic clouds churned violently, becoming turbulent and tempestuous. In the distant sky, Lu Xia Tian's main body arrived riding on clouds. He gazed at the tumultuous demonic clouds before him.

"Land brothers!"

"Holy one!" Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing and the others shouted in unison.

“Lu Xia Tian, you may be able to protect these people for a while, but you can’t protect them forever. Will you return the items to me Think carefully about it!” A cold and sinister laughter echoed from within the demonic cloud.

“You’re also a strong one of this level, resorting to such underhanded tactics. I’m not planning on leaving the Red Moon Desert for now. If you have the guts, come find me in the Red Moon Desert.” Lu Xiaotian sneered, his eyes fixed on the churning demonic cloud before him. This demon was slippery and hard to catch. The demonic cloud before him wasn't its true body. Seeing the opponent make a move but unable to pinpoint their true form was truly irritating.

The tempestuous demon, unwilling to engage in verbal sparring with Lu Xiaoteng, immediately fled upon realizing he had lost the upper hand. Lu Xiaoteng was left helpless and unable to stop him.

"Lu brother, what's going on" Pig Eight welcomed him forward and said.

"Jia Xiaolin colluded with the demon clan. These powerful demon clan members are extraordinary, and their divine power of concealing their forms is remarkable. Even I can't easily force them out." Lu Xiaotian said truthfully.

"That is to say, if you're good at running away, you might survive a fight with Brother Lu. But let's be honest, against him, you'd still be in trouble." Zhu Qi said carelessly, completely indifferent to the vanished demon.

"After all, he's a thorn in our side," Lu Xia Tian shook his head. He couldn't protect Zhu Qi and the Ye Shi clan forever. If they didn't deal with this demon king, it would be a big problem later on.

Just by looking at this demonic figure's appearance, there was no need for Lu Xiaitian to deliberately seek him out. That gathering magic gourd must be extremely important to him. After he prepares thoroughly, he will inevitably come back sooner or later.

However, Lu Xia Tian personally sat in the Chiyue Desert. When confronted by the real deal, Lu Xia Tian was not afraid. Although he had just become a late-stage cultivator of the Heti Stage, he had experienced the Yaohai Tribulation and absorbed the Xuyang Lingwu during that time. In terms of the purity of his magical power, he was no less than those powerful cultivators who had advanced for many years. Moreover, Lu Xia Tian's primordial spirit was far superior to that of ordinary cultivators, and after a little precipitation, it could be completely stabilized.

As for the lotus avatar, it had absorbed a considerable number of combined sword embryos and eradicated a trace of invincible sword intent from the Swallowing Abyss Sword. That was sword intent of the Great Ascension realm. Both in terms of its artistic conception and the absorbed sword embryos, it had reached a remarkable level. Moreover, the lotus avatar had already advanced to a higher level some time ago.

Apart from Lu Xiaoteng, there are also Bali, Zhu Qi, Yun Xiaoqi, and Yun Cangyue, who possesses the family heirloom that can withstand attacks from a late-stage combined entity for a period of time. Altogether, they form a force to be reckoned with. When enemies try to invade the Chiyue Desert, Lu Xiaoteng is not afraid at all.

"Meet force with force, and water with earth." With Lu Xia Tian sitting in command, Zhu Qi's confidence was sky-high.

Lu Xia Tian shook his head and smiled. After what just happened, for safety's sake, Lu Xia Tian led the Wild Boar Tribe and the Stone Tablet Tribe back together.

Wild Boar Demons made up the majority, a force numbering in the tens of thousands that marched boisterously through the lands. During their journey, they did encounter some Demon clans. Over these many years, Demon clans had infiltrated many areas within the Chaotic Demonic Realm.

However, these infiltrating demon creatures naturally wouldn't dare to provoke Lu Xiaitian's team. As for Jia Xiaolin's death, the news had already spread. At this time, whether it was the demon clan or the native forces of the chaotic demon realm, they all knew about Lu Xiaitian's return.

When the team arrived at the Crimson Moon Desert, they found that there were already quite a few people stationed there. Some came to visit Lu Xia Tian and build a rapport, while others came to commission him for alchemy.

“I’ve entrusted the management of the medicinal pills to the few of you. Unless it involves a very important prescription, please don't disturb me when I'm not busy.” Lu Xia Tian said to Dong Feng, Wu Xiu Li, and Jin Yu.

"Yes, sir!" Dongfeng and several others nodded eagerly.

"All of you have already cultivated to the late stage of Shenxu, but you are troubled by trivial matters and your minds are unstable. Take advantage of the time you still have to settle down more. If conditions are ripe, I will give you the opportunity to advance." Lu Xia Tian said again.

"Thank you, sir!" Dong Feng and the others were overjoyed to hear this. The people around them naturally didn't believe it. They had known Lu Xiaoteng for so many years, how could they not know his character If he wasn't sure he could provide a Hehun Pill, he would never say such a thing easily.satisfy their own desires. In the current situation, especially since Lu Xiaotian and his companions appeared to be quite powerful, they naturally became their natural allies."Since that's the case,...
