Chapter 415: 228, Underground Palace, Reunion and the Blissful Invitation from King Zhu Paolong
Fluffy hair, a pale yellow halo.
When the intertwined brilliance of Thunderfire’s Might illuminated the figure approaching from behind, Xu Yuan’s eyebrows slightly raised.
“Is it her?”
As he saw the other party, the other party evidently saw him too, and her luminescent eyes suddenly brightened up.
“Oof! Xu Yuan!”
The girl with snow-white fur ears dove into his embrace, rubbing against his face as if a little dog seeking its master’s favor: “I just knew, you would be here!”
...
“Xue Lin, how come you are here?”
Xu Yuan was greatly surprised.
Could it be that she was in the same situation? If so, the matter he had deduced about someone deliberately behind this became dubious.
Perhaps, this was just a random teleportation?
Yet, the recovery speed of the rune clearly did not conform to normality.
After a moment of puzzled replay, Xue Lin said, “I don’t know either. We entered a yard and split up to search, but I suddenly felt very sleepy, took a nap, and when I woke up, I found myself here. I was just confused, but now it seems, maybe it was heaven’s arrangement after all.”

“How strange?”
Xu Yuan frowned secretly. He surveyed his surroundings, still immersed in darkness, unclear what exactly existed here, though he could sense that he was still within White Jade Capital.
Atop the highest building in the central area of White Jade Capital, three pairs of eyes quietly overlooked the scene through the void.
One among the eyes’ owners slowly spoke, his tone carrying displeasure: “Third, look what you have done. Didn’t we agree just the boy alone would suffice? It was still fine to accidentally draw An Yulan in, but now there’s another one?”
The accused Great Divine Communicator of Return to Void calmly explained, “This has nothing to do with me; they were just too quick to react, forcing me to accelerate the activation of the Formation, leading to a temporary malfunction in the Formation, which did not separate the two during teleportation. This can’t be blamed on me. As for this one, I am unclear what went wrong that caused her to be mixed in as well.”
“You?!
“Enough, stop arguing, let’s continue watching.”
The spectral spirit slowly said, “We just need to observe if that boy has any other problems.”
He suspected that someone so valued by those two holding great secrets, Xu Yuan might also harbor some unavoidable secrets.
After all, merely declaring someone an Outer Domain Demon of the human race was enough to incite dread.
Concerned about a backlash, for caution, he felt he must play it safe.
With his speaking, the bickering ended.
The three Great Divine Communicators of Return to Void also shifted their attention back to the hidden Underground Palace within White Jade Capital.
As the secret Underground Palace of White Jade Capital, it was involved with many secrets of White Jade Capital; thus, its formations, defenses, and arrangements were much more extensive than those on the surface.
This was why they chose this spot for observation.
Only here could one possibly see his true strength.
With the arrangements above the ground, nothing could stop him.
Xu Yuan and Xue Lin’s reunion had not been long when, before Xu Yuan could inquire about her recent experiences,
they heard rustling noises coming from the darkness.
It sounded sinister like the slither of a snake’s scales over the ground, and yet shrill like fingernails scraping the surface.
The mysterious creature approaching them seemed like a snake equipped with claws.
“What is this?”
Xue Lin quietly frowned.
After all, her breakthrough to the Great Perfection of Nascent Soul was mostly due to one thing: good luck!
Somehow, after separating from Xu Yuan, her fortunes had suddenly improved, and relying on intuition, she discovered many treasures.
In the lands of Demon Beasts, what was abundant were the legacies left by unfamiliar Demon Beasts after their death and the mysterious materials spontaneously generated from the earth.
Unlike humans, among the Demon Beasts, mysterious bloodlines comparable to the top ten sacred beasts occasionally emerged; however, due to their low reproduction rates and the near-impossibility of meeting another of their kind in a lifetime, they would find a secluded place before death, leaving behind their accumulated treasures and Methods, and then pass away.
After their demise, the local terrain might possibly grow corresponding spiritual materials, nourished by the aura they released at the time of their fall.
And Xue Lin had grown to her current stage precisely by utilizing these spiritual materials.
If Xu Yuan knew of her transformation, and later, coupling it with the changes in Ruoxue’s strength after Dawn City, he might begin to unravel some mysteries.
Unfortunately, although he indeed had some doubts about his own constitution at first, seeing no specific changes in Lin Qingque and Mo Xianxian made him gradually dismiss his confusion over this matter.
Now, the intuition that had brought her countless rare treasures was signaling that the entity before her was not anything too wonderful.
Just as alarms went off in her heart, a vile reeking wind blew through from a dark corridor behind them.
Xu Yuan channeled Thunderfire’s Might in his palm, and wielding his palm as a sword, executed the Throw You Rem Sword Control Technique.
The silhouette formed by concentrated thunderlight, fluttering garments, brandished a long sword and thrust.
But with a clear ting,
Amidst colliding sparks, a creature covered in scale armor, with limbs like pillars, eyes like red beans, curved horns on the head, saliva dripping from its mouth, and a corpulent body dragging across the ground appeared before the two.
