Chapter 459: Chapter 373: Stepping into the Refining Void Realm
Shen Wang felt a stir in his heart and continued to ask, "Do you know how to quickly leave the Wan Shou Mountains?"
The Demon Saint-level Black Panther looked arrogant and snorted coldly, "Head east from here, there is a canyon, after which lies a marshland. Once you reach there, you can consider yourself out of the Wan Shou Mountains."
Having obtained the information he wanted, Shen Wang quickly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the information, we will leave now."
With that, he looked at the Little Phoenix and called out, "Little one, let’s go."
The Little Phoenix obediently and nimbly flapped its wings, flying back into Shen Wang’s arms, tilting its head and casting a curious glance back at the Black Demon Panther.
The Black Demon Panther saw this and grew even more puzzled, secretly pondering, "Could this human boy have a remarkable background? He dares to converse so casually with this inscrutable Phoenix, and the Phoenix actually follows his every word."
Thinking this way, it increasingly felt that the origins of this man and Phoenix must be extraordinary, deciding it was best not to provoke them, and let Shen Wang and the Little Phoenix leave.
Shen Wang and Shi Kongxuan carefully avoided the Black Demon Panther, moving quickly in the direction it pointed, employing a masterful body technique, progressing swiftly.
Along the way, Shen Wang’s mind was in turmoil, silently pondering the Little Phoenix’s bloodline power truly astounding, even the powerful Magical Beast of Demon Saint-level feared it greatly.
That’s right, this isn’t just an emperor-level bloodline; it itself is indeed a Demon Emperor.
Though carrying it is akin to holding a sharp blade, uncertain when it might harm oneself, in these perilous Wan Shou Mountains, perhaps at a crucial moment it can be relied upon to avert danger.
After all, this mountain range is fraught with hidden dangers, the path ahead is uncertain, and who knows what unforeseen crises might arise. Hopefully, they won’t encounter an existence that even the Little Phoenix cannot intimidate, wishing only to pass through this treacherous land smoothly.
After hurrying for hundreds of miles, the two confirmed that the Black Demon Panther hadn’t pursued them and finally breathed slightly easier. Shi Kongxuan patted his chest and said with lingering fear, "I really didn’t expect the Little Phoenix to help us unexpectedly; just unsure whether such circumstances are a blessing or a curse."
"For now, it seems fine, perhaps we can use it to leave Wan Shou Mountains."
Shen Wang gently stroked the Little Phoenix’s head, looking ahead, "However, what the Black Panther said may not be entirely credible; that canyon and marshland might also be filled with hidden dangers."
Shi Kongxuan nodded, "It’s possible, it seems we need to find a slightly weaker Magical Beast to carefully scout the surrounding terrain."
Shen Wang immediately operated his Divine Thought, densely probing the surroundings. Shortly, his expression changed slightly, and with a look of joy, he said, "Not far ahead, there’s a Pig Demon whose Realm is below ours. Capturing it and questioning it carefully might reveal more details."
The two immediately used techniques for concealment, their forms ghost-like, silently heading towards the direction of the Pig Demon.
The Wan Shou Mountains were eerily quiet, with occasional low moans of unidentified beasts making the stillness seem particularly abrupt, as if warning of some potential danger.
Shen Wang and Shi Kongxuan cautiously approached, using the thick forest as cover, soon spotting the Pig Demon.
This Pig Demon had a burly form, its entire body covered in hard black bristles like steel needles, lying on the ground, deep in sleep, drool flowing from its mouth, completely unaware of the silently approaching danger.
Shen Wang and Shi Kongxuan exchanged a glance, enclosing upon it one from the left and one from the right, seamlessly blocking all of the Pig Demon’s escape routes.
Shortly thereafter came the sound of pigs squealing, which quickly subsided.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Wang and his companion extracted detailed information about the nearby terrain from the Pig Demon, proceeding with caution to avoid powerful Magical Beasts, continuing their journey without incident.
After two days of trekking, they finally and successfully left the Wan Shou Mountains, stepping into the Human Race’s territory.
However, instead of relaxing, they became even more cautious. After all, they carried precious treasures, and human nature could be unpredictable and treacherous.
With his extensive experience, Shi Kongxuan selected the safest and most reliable route. Although there were occasional setbacks along the way, they managed to overcome them cleverly, ultimately returning safely to Black Stone City.
As they stepped into the Array coverage of Black Stone City, both could finally relax their taut nerves, simultaneously letting out a sigh of relief.
Shi Kongxuan smiled, "Finally, we’re safe."
Shen Wang’s expression remained somewhat solemn, saying, "We’d better not show ourselves lightly; at least, we can’t let others know we’ve returned."
"Makes sense, there might be other survivors, and once they know we’re back, suspicion might arise."
Shi Kongxuan deeply agreed.
"Let’s first use the Holy Pill we’ve acquired to enhance our strength."
Shen Wang suggested. The two were just a step away from the Demon Saint Realm, and once their strength was enhanced, they would have sufficient confidence to deal with any attention or suspicion.
"That’s sensible, let’s quietly return." Shi Kongxuan nodded in agreement.
The two continued to conceal their presence, quietly returning to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, Shi Qingqing was pregnant, her expression filled with worry and anxiety.
"Sister, the Old City Lord’s soul lamp has been steady, I’m sure your husband is fine too."
Susu comforted softly beside her.
"I also believe in my husband’s great abilities, that he can turn danger into safety. But he hasn’t returned for so long..." Shi Qingqing sighed wistfully, her eyes full of worry.
"Ladies, sorry to have worried you."
Shen Wang’s voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time, a ripple appeared in space, revealing his and Shi Kongxuan’s figures in front of the crowd.
