Cheng Xiaofan mused inwardly after hearing his goddess Bai’s words, his father’s advice seemed right after all, there was always someone better, and there was always a higher heaven.
This elder in black robes was indeed unlike ordinary cultivators.
Being able to easily breach the courtyard wall was not something ordinary cultivators could achieve.
When he refined those bracelets, he had added three layers of protection. Logically, when Bai Yiling was attacked, the protective layers should have reacted immediately.
Yet, to his surprise, the protective layers on the bracelet showed no reaction.
What did this signify?
No wonder the elder in black robes emanated a certain energy.
An energy that could evade the attacks of any defensive spell.
Upon returning to the house, Cheng Xiaofan discovered that Shen Ruobing and Tang Xiuwan had already left for work.
Normally, after Tang Guoxing finished arranging meals, he rarely appeared in the main villa.
“Goddess Bai, let’s go upstairs!”
Seeing that the house was empty, Cheng Xiaofan scooped up Bai Yiling and ran upstairs in the villa.
Bai Yiling exclaimed anxiously, “Xiaofan, what are you doing in broad daylight?”
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, “I haven’t seen you for so many days, I’m about to die of longing!”
“You tell me, what am I doing!”
In the bedroom upstairs, he tossed her onto the bed.
At this moment!
Bai Yiling had no choice but to be a good little sheep.
Cooperating with her mysterious man to the best of her ability!
More than an hour later.
Cheng Xiaofan descended the stairs with a radiant complexion.
“Oh, my Goddess Bai,”
He looked at Bai Yiling, who was walking with a slight stagger, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Seeing you walk while holding onto the wall is truly beautiful!”
“Hmph, do you want a beating!” Bai Yiling said, both shy and flustered.
She reached out and pinched his lower back fiercely.
Then, reluctantly, she said, “Xiaofan, are you leaving for Black Peak Mountain in the Great Northwest soon?”
Cheng Xiaofan rubbed his hands together, looking eager, and said, “Yes, if I don’t deal with that elder in black robes, this knot of anger in my heart will make me unbearable!”
“He wants to destroy my Zhuxi Village, so I’ll destroy him first!”
“I feel this fellow is quite clueless. Why did you provoke someone, and then inexplicably provoke me, a notorious great devil!”
Hearing his words, Bai Yiling couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
She had never heard of anyone describing themselves as a great devil.
This could only be the man before her!
Bai Yiling said, “Xiaofan, be careful when you go!”
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, “Goddess Bai, don’t worry. I’ve returned from the depths of the vast starry sky, and my body has undergone a thorough transformation!”
“Any demons or ghosts that see me will have to bow down.”
“Only those who are ignorant of their own doom would dare to provoke me!”
“Alright, no more talking, the Sky-Breaking Eagle has arrived, I must leave!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the Sky-Breaking Eagle landed in the courtyard.
“Chirp—”
With a clear, loud cry, the Sky-Breaking Eagle carried Cheng Xiaofan away from Zhuxi Village.
…
Black Peak Mountain in the Great Northwest.
Around the entrance of a cave on a precipitous cliff.
Countless black bats were roosting.
They writhed slowly around the cave entrance.
It looked terrifying.
Inside the cave.
Three people were sitting at a stone table, devouring live bats.
The bats struggled in their mouths, emitting squeaking cries.
Scarlet blood dripped onto the floor from the corners of their mouths.
In the center of the stone table.
A wooden cage was placed, which originally contained many bats.
But in the blink of an eye.
More than half of them were eaten.
Sitting in the center of the stone table was the elder in black robes.
His face looked as if it were carved from charcoal, covered in bumpy growths like a toad, making him look particularly horrifying.
Seated to his left and right were two women.
They were also wearing black robes.
The only difference from the elder in black robes was that their faces were as pale as if they had been whitewashed, showing not a trace of blood.
The pupils of the three were red.
“Bat Demon, do you think Cheng Xiaofan will come here today?”
One of the women asked the elder in black robes while greedily sucking the blood from a bat in her hand.
The elder in black robes, known as the Bat Demon, chuckled proudly and said, “My beauties, my senses are exceptionally powerful.”
“I not only sensed his return from beyond the universe, but I also sensed that he is bound to arrive at Black Peak Mountain today.”
“Once this brat arrives, he will obediently hand over the Cosmic Yanhuang Sword.”
This Bat Demon!
Like Nu Xi, he was from prehistoric times.
The two women were his consorts.
When the great explosion occurred in the prehistoric world.
He and his two women were in this mountain cave on the cliff, engaged in unspeakable games, and happened to narrowly escape disaster.
The shockwave of the explosion also severely injured them, causing them to fall unconscious.
When they awoke, the world had changed.
Earth!
It was no longer the Earth of the past.
It must be said that the Bat Demon's abilities.
Were indeed not to be underestimated!
Besides being extremely powerful in combat.
He also possessed a special ability.
That was to roam the stars in his dreams, allowing him to sense the dynamics in the deepest parts of the universe.
Cheng Xiaofan could also roam the stars in his dreams and had repeatedly achieved great soul fusion in the Dragon Boat of the starry sky, transforming an ordinary person into a cultivator.
However!
Even though Cheng Xiaofan could roam the stars in his dreams.
He was unable to sense the dynamics in the deepest parts of the universe.
The Bat Demon was far superior to Cheng Xiaofan in this regard.
The moment Cheng Xiaofan obtained the Cosmic Yanhuang Sword.
And with a single sword strike, avoided the Cosmic Energy Wall.
He was immediately detected in the Bat Demon's dream, receiving information about the vibration of the energy wall.
From this information, the Bat Demon not only analyzed the efficacy of the sword in Cheng Xiaofan's hand but also deciphered Cheng Xiaofan's origins one by one.
“Hahaha!”
The Bat Demon laughed proudly with a grimace, “My two beauties, once we obtain the Cosmic Yanhuang Sword, I can take you to other planets to cultivate.”
“On this Earth, the heavenly treasures suitable for our cultivation are too scarce!”
“Only by finding planets more suitable for our cultivation can we achieve greater breakthroughs.”
“Then, my beauties, when we return, we can dominate the entire Earth!”
“Bat Demon, we are your women after all.”
Another woman said, “Whatever you say, we will listen to you!”
The Bat Demon laughed heartily, “My two beauties, eat faster! There are still quite a few bats in the cage. This delicacy is not something ordinary people can enjoy!”
“After we finish the bats in the cage, I estimate Cheng Xiaofan will be almost here!”
“Chirp—”
As soon as the words fell.
A clear eagle’s cry echoed from the sky.
