第三千七百四十六章 云里雾里

"What?"

The answer was even more outrageous. The Vengeful King of Ten Thousand Serpents had already been possessed, and his identity had always been that of an outsider demon.

Could it be that one of the three great demon kings in the Spirit Realm was actually a hidden pawn set up by those demon heads from beyond the heavens?

This answer was simply unbelievable. But Vengeful King of Ten Thousand Serpents was indeed not here at this moment. Moreover, there had been no record of any grudge between Li Yutong and him.

Even if they did have an enmity, it would be impossible for her to frame him in such a way, as such lies were too easily exposed.

When the time came, Li Yutong's reputation would be ruined. Unless she had some mental issues, no one would act so foolishly.

This thought ran through his mind, and already someone believed what Fairy Yutong said. No wonder it was in such a mess earlier; she hadn't even shown up.

Was she fighting Vengeful King of Ten Thousand Serpents?

But the two were equally renowned as Immortal Demons. She had managed to kill him so quickly, which seemed impossible given his strength, even after being possessed.

Li Yutong might be considered the top in the Spirit Realm, but such a feat was too glorious. However, when one thought about her sword strike earlier, it made sense.

Most cultivators didn't know that Li Yutong's actual battle with Vengeful King of Ten Thousand Serpents had lasted much less than they imagined. For most of the time before, Fairy Yutong merely used her avatar to fend off a formidable opponent, while she killed him in just a short while.

A skilled warrior does not boast of his achievements; a good doctor does not seek fame. While Fairy Yutong's reputation was not as well-known, her strength far exceeded everyone's expectations.

Of course, not every cultivator doubted what she said. The merchants from Rainy Mist Alliance revered Li Yutong like a deity. They believed in everything she said without hesitation, and cheers kept echoing:

"Fairy Yutong has unparalleled power, shaking the Spirit Realm."

...

As time passed, most people began to believe Fairy Yutong's words, but doubts still lingered.

Even if Vengeful King of Ten Thousand Serpents was indeed an outsider demon, he had never revealed his identity for so many years. It made no sense for him to risk everything just for a few peaches.

From any angle, it wasn't worth the risk.

This doubt didn't stay hidden in everyone's hearts; Guanghan True Man asked: "Fairy Daoist Yutong, what is the true purpose of these outsider demons? It can't be just about those immortal peaches."

"Indeed..."

Li Yutong showed a hint of hesitation. After some thought, she slowly spoke: "To tell you the truth, I don't know either."

"You are also unsure?"

"Yes," Fairy Yutong nodded. "They were indeed after the peach tree. At that time, there were two outsider demons; Vengeful King of Ten Thousand Serpents held me back while this Cloudy Fairy continued towards the peach tree."

"What? Cloudy Fairy?"

Over the years, Qin Yan had caused much bloodshed in Fairy Yutong's realm, so many old monsters here knew her reputation. Lin Xuan's brows were tightly furrowed.

Qin Yan was indeed involved.

According to this speculation, the old monster he met in Drifting Cloud Valley was almost certainly Vengeful King of Ten Thousand Serpents' avatar.

No wonder his strength was so extraordinary.

Of course, Lin Xuan also cared about whether Qin Yan had perished. Although they had a history, Lin Xuan didn't want to hear news of her demise.

Whether he was being overly sentimental or just nostalgic, the truth was that he cared deeply for her fate.

Thus, Lin Xuan's face showed concern as well.

"Qin Yan, what happened? If I remember correctly, this Cloudy Fairy’s title is similar to Sister Flying Demon Ancestor. Is it a coincidence, or do they have some deeper connection?"

Another authoritative voice entered his ears, filled with power and authority. Looking around, Lin Xuan saw a powerful man with a bald head and bare feet, exuding the aura of a king.

His appearance was not mentioned, but he was incredibly tall, muscles like steel coiled around him.

It was easy to guess who he was; one of the strongest Immortal Demons, the most adept in body cultivation techniques.

Whale King!

"Your words are reasonable. I almost forgot that Cloudy Fairy seemed familiar. She must be Sister Flying Demon Ancestor's sister."

Lin Xuan's pupils constricted as he heard this. Qin Yan’s background was so extraordinary; what about the transmission scroll she used earlier? Was it related?

He cared more about her fate.

"Turns out, it's that wicked woman. No wonder she dared to be so bold. Did you kill her?" Another voice entered his ears, filled with resentment and anger. If he guessed correctly, this person had a grudge against Cloudy Fairy.

"No."

"What? With your power, even Vengeful King of Ten Thousand Serpents was slain, yet Cloudy Fairy managed to escape?"

The voice was shocked, and the tone became incredulous and suspicious.

Lin Xuan turned his head to see who it belonged to. The figure was a graceful and dignified immortal with an air of scholarly elegance. With three long beards, he looked extremely handsome at around forty years old.

His aura was pure and powerful; his identity was clear—Master of the Confucian School among the Three Immortals, Solitary Wild Goose.

"Why should I doubt? If I could eliminate Qin Yan, would I spare her?"

Fairy Yutong's face showed a hint of dissatisfaction. "Her strength has not fully recovered yet. Originally, leaving her alone wouldn't have been difficult, but she had a Starlight Treasure Disk in her possession."

"What? Starlight Treasure Disk?"

Amidst the shocked exclamations, everyone knew about this treasure’s reputation; these were all top-notch old monsters from the Three Realms.

Thus, it made sense that Cloudy Fairy could escape once the Starlight Treasure Disk was activated. The former Asura would have been helpless as well.

"Has she escaped? What is her target then—those immortal peaches?"

Solitary Wild Goose still had some doubts.

"I don't know either. I've already thoroughly examined the location of the peach tree, and there's nothing amiss."

Fairy Yutong showed no concealment; this came from her immense confidence. On another hand, revealing it might also gather collective wisdom.

After all, one person’s plan is short-sighted; two people’s plans are longer. With so many Golden Transformation Realm existences present, if the outsider demons returned, none could escape. Since everyone was involved, leveraging their collective intelligence made sense. Perhaps they could uncover the outsider demons' plot?
