Chapter 1082: Chapter 1079: Fierce Protection of Their Own
Xu Wendong understood why a large number of powerful members of the Demon Race appeared.
They came for him.
Because.
The Flame Lion he killed earlier was the son of the Lion Ridge Demon King.
Thinking of this.
A sense of foreboding arose in his heart, and a strong panic spread deep within him.
Although Xiao Wu had said before, no matter who was hunting him, as long as he escaped back to Baiyun Mountain, no one could do anything to him.
To be honest, those words were indeed quite bold.
But now.
It has drawn out the presence of one of the Nine Great Protectors!
In this situation, will Baiyun Mountain still protect him?
At this moment.
A ethereal voice echoed in the air: "Senior Lion Candle leading a demon army to our Baiyun Mountain, is it to incite conflict between the two forces?"
In an instant.
White Python Huan Ying appeared like a ghost above the Immortal Mansion behind Xu Wendong, her white scales shimmering with a crystalline glow in the sunlight.
Although her voice was ethereal and pleasant, the moment Huan Ying appeared, the demon beasts from the Lion Ridge side all showed signs of dread in their eyes.
Huan Ying was just the sworn daughter of the leader of Baiyun Mountain, and even though her strength had reached the Tribulation Crossing Initial Stage, no one dared to underestimate her.
Because she was an extremely rare Phantom Spirit Demon Python, with a pair of beguiling eyes capable of making opponents lose consciousness instantly.
"This Human killed my beloved son, and this protector came here to demand someone from your Baiyun Mountain."
Lion Candle stood proudly, suspended in mid-air.
Its body was an astonishing ten meters long, resembling a moving mountain of flame, providing a strong visual impact.
Its fur was like burning flames, interwoven with orange and golden hues, flickering with intense brilliance.
Each strand of fur seemed to have been tempered by fire, hard and smooth, exuding a wild strength.
Under the sunlight, its body seemed cloaked in a layer of golden flames.
Its eyes, as large as millstones, were like two blazing fireballs, filled with endless majesty and rage.
Its limbs were robust and powerful, muscles well-defined, claws sharp and pointed, as if capable of tearing the sky asunder.
This was one of the Nine Great Protectors of the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, with a Middle Stage of the Great Ascension existence.
Xiao Wu fluttered out, landing beside Huan Ying, shaking its feathers: "The Demon Race has always followed the survival principle of survival of the fittest. You can’t break this rule just because your son died, can you?"
Lion Candle’s eyes were filled with murderous intent: "So, you want to protect this Human?"
Huan Ying: "Perhaps Xu Wendong killed your son, but since he’s returned to my Baiyun Mountain’s territory, Baiyun Mountain will naturally protect him!"
"Baiyun Mountain does not provoke trouble, nor does it fear trouble."
"No matter what misdeeds someone commits outside, if you have the ability to kill them, Baiyun Mountain won’t interfere."
"But if someone intends to kill on my Baiyun Mountain."
"Then they must ask my Baiyun Mountain’s people if they agree!"
With her voice, the once quiet Baiyun Mountain suddenly erupted with terrifying beastly auras.
A series of massive demon beasts appeared in front of the Immortal Mansion, forming an impenetrable defensive line.
Xiao Wu also burst into a radiant blaze of colors, like a burning flame, with surrounding space showing signs of distortion.
Xu Wendong stood there, completely shocked, unable to calm his heart.
Honestly, he didn’t expect this incident to cause such a huge problem, ending with killing the leader of Lion Ridge’s son.
What surprised him even more was that Baiyun Mountain didn’t hand him over to the other side.
This act of loyalty etched deeply in his heart.
"He’s just a mere ant, and you want to become enemies with my Lion Ridge for him? What is the meaning of doing this?" Lion Candle roared with thunderous fury, not expecting Baiyun Mountain to protect Xu Wendong so fiercely.
This was beyond its expectations, but more than anything, it was infuriated.
After all, although their relationship among the Nine Great Protectors wasn’t very friendly, they were from the same camp.
But now, their relationship couldn’t compare to that with a human; how could it not be mad?
Huan Ying calmly asked: "If you have to consider whether something is meaningful before doing it, don’t you find that very meaningless?"
Lion Candle’s eyes were filled with ferocity, its body shaking with anger: "Huan Ying, you do not represent Baiyun Mountain, have Bai Ze come out!"
The name "Bai Ze" was like a thunderclap, making Xu Wendong and the others feel like their scalp was exploding.
Was the Bai Ze Lion Candle mentioned a name or a species?
If it’s the latter, that’s extraordinary!
After all, Bai Ze is a legendary Auspicious Beast.
Huan Ying yawned, appearing indifferent: "My adoptive father has been in seclusion for years, all matters of Baiyun Mountain are decided by us juniors."
Lion Candle muttered softly: "So you intend to declare war with my Lion Ridge?"
"Old thing, I’ve shown you face, haven’t I?" Huan Ying suddenly snapped without warning, shaking the void, the sky and earth changing as if the apocalypse was near.
Her usually lively and docile eyes now filled with fierce hostility: "You led your powerful subordinates to attack my Baiyun Mountain, and now you say my Baiyun Mountain is acting as your enemy?"
"Enemy it is, you think Baiyun Mountain is afraid of you, old thing?"
With Huan Ying’s sudden outburst, the powerful demon race members of Baiyun Mountain were terrified, desperately fleeing in all directions.
Even though Baiyun Mountain was surrounded by the Lion Ridge’s demon powerhouses, they didn’t regard them at all.
Because, once the young mistress loses her temper, she is truly terrifying.
Xiao Wu trembled like a startled bird, its voice full of fear: "You better hurry back while the young mistress can still control her emotions, if she loses her temper, even she is afraid of herself!"
The demon race members of Lion Ridge also felt a terrifying aura emanating from Huan Ying, an apprehensive look in their eyes.
However, without Lion Candle’s order, they dared not retreat a single step.
Lion Candle was deeply enraged by Huan Ying’s attitude, its cold, monstrous vertical pupils brimming with a chilling coldness: "I’ve long heard of the extraordinary strength of the Phantom Spirit Demon Python; today, this protector will experience it firsthand!"
With those words, it descended like a meteor from the sky, tearing through the void, exuding an overwhelming power, appearing instantly above the Immortal Mansion.
Just as it was about to attack, Huan Ying’s tail lashed out like a divine whip, sending Lion Candle flying thousands of meters away.
Lion Candle’s eyes were filled with fury, its mouth emitting a series of deep, subdued whimpers.
Even though it possessed Great Ascension Late Stage cultivation level.
Yet for some reason.
Faced with Huan Ying’s attack, it was incapable of any resistance.
"How is your strength so formidable?" Lion Candle glared coldly at Huan Ying.
Huan Ying’s eyes were playful: "Isn’t it just because you’re too weak?"
