dragon pearl, and that's how it happened. I really wish I knew exactly what happened.” Lu Xia Tian said helplessly.“The unique restrictions within this bat, combined with a sliver of my demonic essenc..."It's a pity," Lu Xia Tian thought as he saw the powerful demon eagle cut in half by the black wheel, its blood splattering down from the air. If he could have gotten that blood, he figured he could have escaped for even longer.
This Profound Nightmare Ghost King is truly outrageously strong. He first beheaded a Green Robe Elder at the Nascent Soul stage, and now he has killed a demonic beast of rank ten or above. Although he took advantage of a slight delay to pull away slightly, this distance is negligible to the Profound Nightmare Ghost King.
After half a year, thousands of miles away, the other party could still find him. What's more, it was only a matter of moments now. Lu Xia Tian secretly felt some remorse. He regretted killing Xuan Yin earlier. Although that guy was somewhat hateful, the trouble he brought was too great. Killing him, besides obtaining some useless ghost clan artifacts and the mysterious devouring yin ghost wheel, there wasn't much benefit.
What's truly useful is still this Bat King's Wing. Back then, killing that Xuan Yin was more likely due to the threat he posed. Now it seems I've attracted an even greater one.
The Black Heaven Mountains whizzed past beneath his feet. Lu Xiaoteng faintly saw a black bear demon standing on the mountaintop from within the mountain's silhouette. The demon had a bear head and human body, its two eyes staring coldly. Lu Xiaoteng was startled and slightly detoured, not daring to pass through its territory. Behind him, the Xuan Yan Ghost King seemed to be wary of this demon as well, no longer as arrogant as before.
It's a pity they didn't fight. Lu Xia Tian twitched his lips and ran away desperately. After flying for an unknown amount of time, in the distance, a mountain ridge that looked like a blood lion standing proudly among the undulating green hills appeared. Lu Xia Tian was overjoyed immediately.
Blood Lion Mountain, I've finally arrived. The Cloud Cliff Auction was held here back then. As always, there are many guards in Blood Lion City patrolling back and forth, and quite a few Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators passing by. However, compared to when the Cloud Cliff Auction was held, there are far fewer people here.
"Hey, did something just pass by here" A Foundation Establishment cultivator in spiritual armor felt a gust of wind, tinged with a faint blood-red glow. Turning around, he found nothing.
“Come on, I didn't see anything. Hu Qin, you've been making excuses to shirk work lately. Don't go too far. Otherwise, even your second uncle won't be able to protect you. Blood Lion Ridge doesn't just want sneaky people.”
The leading elder's gaze swept sternly over Hu Qin, the Foundation Establishment cultivator youth who had just spoken.
Hu Qin's face flushed red and white, but he couldn't find words to refute.
Lu XiaTian retracted his wings and glanced anxiously behind him. Blood Lion City remained as large as ever, with tens of thousands of cultivators within its walls. The Xuan Yan Ghost King probably wouldn't dare attack, right Although the blood essence in the Bat King's法翼 could still sustain him for a while, fleeing like this wasn't a solution. There would eventually come a point where it ran out. If he kept going like this, he might only be left with escaping to Wushang City.
"Hey, I've never seen you before, friend. Are you from our Blood Lion City" A one-armed vendor stared curiously at Lu Xiaodao.
"Well, not from Blood Lion City, but I've been there before," Lu Xiaodao said.
“Oh, I have a lot of monster materials here, as well as ancient herbs, spirit wood, and various ores for refining precious artifacts. Daoist friend, do you need anything” the one-armed man suddenly lowered his voice and said.
“Is that so I heard things have been a bit unstable lately, but Blood Lion City seems to be an exception. However, I don't know if the Ancestor of Blood Lion is here. Otherwise, if a powerful demon cultivator were to come, we wouldn't even have time to escape.” Lu Xia Tian squatted down and casually glanced at the monster materials on display. His attention wasn't on these materials, but rather he was using this opportunity to pry information out of the other party.
“You haven't been around here long, have you Don't worry about that. Blood Lion Ancestor has been cultivating for years now. The reason Blood Lion Ancestor established this Immortal City here is because the conditions here are unique and beneficial to his cultivation. He wouldn't leave easily unless something special happened.” Said the one-armed man.

"Besides the Blood Lion Patriarch, are there any other powerful Nascent Soul Ancestors in this Blood Lion City" Lu Xia Tian asked again. The Xuan Yan Ghost King was indeed ferocious and fiery; ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators were simply no match for him. If Blood Lion City had several Golden Core cultivators, their chances of success would naturally increase greatly."
"I'm not quite sure about that. Hey, are you even going to take this or not" The one-armed man saw that Lu Xia Tian was only asking questions and didn't seem interested in taking anything. His expression immediately soured.
Exposed, Lu Xia Tian let out a wry smile, ready to put down his things and leave, but suddenly, Lu Xia Tian stiffened. A dark cloud drifted over from the distance, passing through which demonic beasts fled and spirit birds scattered. A multitude of cultivators looked up in alarm.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Those cultivators with low cultivation bases, even some Qi Refining cultivators, were directly pressed down by the enormous pressure of the demonic aura, making it hard for them to even breathe.
Lu Xia Tian's heart tightened, ready to unleash the Bat King Wings at any moment and run again. Seeing the dark clouds getting closer, Lu Xia Tian felt a surge of anxiety. Why wasn't Blood Lion Ancestor making a single move Wasn't he here, or was he too afraid to come out
Well, I'll just leave for now. Let's head to Wushang City first. Seeing the dark clouds gathering overhead, Lu Xia Tian didn't dare to linger any longer. Just as he was about to leave, a hoarse voice echoed from the heart of Blood Lion City.
"Where is this ghost cultivator, to be so bold as to intrude upon this old man's Blood Lion City"
From the aged voice, a bloody light shot into the sky. Within the bloodlight, a man with fiery red hair reaching his shoulders, each strand standing upright like the mane of a lion, looked to be in middle age, much younger than his voice suggested. Beneath him sat a giant crimson lion, gnashing its teeth and clawing the air. Though it stood before the dark clouds, it seemed quite apprehensive.
Once again, blue and green light flashed, and with a twirl of their robes, a male and female cultivator in white appeared beside the Blood Lion Patriarch.
The one in front was the ancestor of the Blood Lion, looking at the aura of the Blood Lion beneath him, it was at least a tenth-order monster. There were also a middle-aged couple who could face the Xuan Yan Ghost King head-on. Lu Xiaoteng's heart was filled with joy, all the way escaping to this place, finally able to catch his breath.
“Judging by the aura, this isn’t an ordinary ghost cultivator. This power...it resembles that of a genuine Ghost Clan member. The Black Heaven Mountains haven’t seen a Ghost Clan appearance in hundreds of years, yet now one powerful figure has shown up.” The man in white said coldly.
"Cut the crap, old man's here to find a human kid, and he's in your little town right now. Step aside and let me take him, or there will be trouble."
A mass of dark clouds, the size of a few acres, hung in the sky just ten or so miles outside Xuelisheng City. Two glowing green eyes rose from within the clouds, their gaze cold and piercing.
Lu Xia Tian's heart tightened, he quietly retreated several steps. If this Blood Lion Ancestor feared the other party's power and handed himself over, there would be nowhere to cry. This place was not suitable for a long stay.f Qihuang Slime Rats is no lower than those below the Divine Transformation Stage. There are too many of them; even we might not be able to withstand their onslaught. Quick, retreat!” At this time, th...
