Great Love Immortal Venerate: Why are all my fairies yandere?

Chapter 416: 228, Underground Palace, Reunion and the Blissful Invitation from King Zhu Paolong_2

Xu Yuan’s last Sword Qi had only left a slight white mark on the creature.

“What is this thing?”

As Xu Yuan’s face filled with puzzlement, he also sensed a deep danger emerging from within his heart.

The creature before him, resembling both a pig and a crocodile, gave him a very bad feeling.

“This is a Zhu Paolong, also known as a Great Flying Column. Legend has it that it’s the result of a Flood Dragon failing its tribulation,”

came An Yulan’s voice from above him.

The next moment, the ceiling above Xu Yuan’s head suddenly burst into bright light, igniting layers of spiritual light.

Then, the girl, wielding her Daoist Sword, broke through the ceiling and arrived.

Upon seeing him and the beast-eared girl he was holding, a look of surprise clearly flashed across An Yulan’s face.

Then, a mixture of helplessness and contempt appeared in her lively eyes, “As expected of junior brother, enjoying wherever you go. Even at this time, you still have the mood to flirt with a girl.”

“You think too much, she is just an old friend of mine,”

replied Xu Yuan with an unperturbed expression, “What we have is very pure.”

A pure physical relationship is also pure,

“Hmph.”

An Yulan snorted, clearly not quite believing his words.

But since there were strangers present, she did not say much more.

“I can’t sense the presence of others’ Message Jade Tokens. It seems we have been separated to different places,”

Xu Yuan nodded.

Before entering, they had already considered the possibility of being separated due to certain reasons, so each of them possessed a Message Jade Token.

Once separated, by activating the Jade Token, they could continuously send out messages around them.

After receiving a response, the two Jade Tokens could establish a connection, thereby locating the holder.

Now, they could only sense each other’s Jade Tokens, indicating that either the others were too far away or their current location had some kind of shielding effect.

Either case was not good news for them.

“What’s the deal with this Zhu Paolong?”

Xu Yuan kept his attention on the strange creature in front of him.

Although he knew what a Zhu Paolong was, the creature in this world was clearly different from the one he knew,

Strangely, the previously restless creature began to back away slowly, bowing its head and emitting a threatening growl after seeing An Yulan.

“According to the records of the Heavenly Dao Sect, all dragons in the Mortal Realm are actually False Dragons, belonging to the Flood Dragon type. Only the dragons that have passed the Heavenly Tribulation can be called True Dragons. This Zhu Paolong was a Great Perfection dragon of a certain Dragon Clan that failed its tribulation and violated the Heavenly Dao, causing an irreversible reaction in the whole clan, plunging from the Dragon Clan lineage to what you see now. An ancestor from our sect once encountered a Zhu Paolong on a trip. That Zhu Paolong spoke human language, like a woman of thirty, and when it moved, it was like columns flying across the hall, so the ancestor named it Zhu Paolong and Great Flying Column.”

“Er.”

Xu Yuan was speechless with the ancestor’s weird sense of humor.

So that’s what Zhu Paolong meant.

It had nothing to do with the Zhu Paolong he remembered.

“Does it have any weaknesses?”

asked Xu Yuan.

“Weaknesses?”

after pondering for a moment, An Yulan said, “I don’t quite remember its weaknesses, but I recall it likes to eat children? So we could use children as bait.”

“Eat children?”

Xu Yuan was astonished and looked down at the Zhu Paolong, which now had a gaze of greed mixed with fear.

The beast had been watching him the whole time, and he was unclear about the situation.

But now it seemed…

Feeling his gaze, Xue Lin was initially startled, then angrily said, “I’m not a child!”

Having said that, she puffed out her chest, which was not particularly large to begin with.

“Let’s hurry up and deal with it,”

said Xu Yuan with a glance at it, his eyes growing colder as it refused to leave.

Since it wouldn’t run,

“Wait!”

An Yulan suddenly grabbed him and furrowed her brows as she listened, “Junior brother, do you hear any sounds?”

“Sounds?”

Upon hearing that, Xu Yuan also hastened to calm his mind and listen closely.

As he focused on listening, each sound of scale armor brushing against the ground, which should have been barely perceptible, became crisp and clear.

And these sounds were coming from both in front of him and behind him.

Xu Yuan’s expression shifted slightly.

He finally understood why the Zhu Paolong in front of him had been retreating without leaving.

It was waiting for its companions!

An Yulan’s pretty face turned a bit pale, “Junior Brother, I’m afraid we’ve wandered into the Zhu Paolong’s den.”

“Run fast.”

As Xu Yuan tossed Xue Lin up to the large hole An Yulan had stepped out of, he once again dispatched multiple beams of Sword Qi with a wave of his hand.

Although, through the recent trial, he had approximately gauged that the strength of the Zhu Paolong was only similar to that of Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm.

But the overwhelming number of enemies was the real problem.

Indeed, now underground where nobody could see him, Xu Yuan could clear a path without any reservations using the Divine Wind Fiend.

However, it was extremely unwise to engage in a fight to the death in their den.

Not long after the three of them left, the dust stirred up from the collision between the Sword Qi and the scale armor slowly dispersed.

A fierce light flashed in the Zhu Paolong’s red eyes, marked with several bloody slashes.

It let out a low growl.

Within a few moments, a chorus of responding growls echoed from the end of the passage.

The next moment, hordes of Zhu Paolong, transforming into soaring stone pillars, crashed into the hole above,

Xu Yuan’s expression inevitably soured as he sensed the several hundred breaths following closely behind with his Divine Sense.

Several hundred Nascent Souls, no, there could be even more.

After all, in his perception, their numbers were still steadily increasing from behind.

Looking back, choosing to flee rather than staying put was absolutely the right decision.

An Yulan’s expression was equally grave.

Although the space of this layer of the Underground Palace differed from the corridors below with its simple straight path, being crisscrossed and also having branch pathways,

it was, after all, the demon beasts’ lair, and regarding the environment, they knew it far better than them.

She had attempted to break through; apart from the floor of the layer below, which could be directly shattered, none of the rest could be forcibly breached.

In other words, their avenues for escape were gradually being compressed.

If they couldn’t find the exit soon, they were likely to be overtaken.

And indeed, just as she had expected,

as the breaths of the three of them inevitably scattered due to their full-speed escape,

the entire underground space began to tremble as if an earthquake had occurred.

More and more Zhu Paolongs were alerted and joined the siege.

Although not every one of them possessed the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm,

the thought of a thousand Core Formation demon beasts was terrifying in itself.

“Huff—”

Xu Yuan exhaled deeply, his eyes flashing coldly as he suddenly turned around.

Continuing to flee like this was not a solution.

He wanted to try to launch an attack, to see if he could instill fear in them.

Realizing his intention, the other two, who were in the midst of a rapid sprint, also came to a halt.

An Yulan pursed her lips slightly, her hand resting on the hilt of her sword, her expression serious.

But to their surprise, as they braced themselves for the battle to come,

the Underground Palace, which had been shaking like an earthquake, abruptly calmed down.

It was as though an army, already foreseeing victory, had been halted by a command.

Xu Yuan and An Yulan exchanged glances, both feeling uneasy and perplexed.

The Zhu Paolong horde had suddenly stopped moving, which was certainly strange.

But they didn’t know exactly what had happened.

Just as they were deep in thought, a Zhu Paolong, clearly different from the one before and exuding a majestic aura, slowly stepped out from the darkness.

Its eyes, sharp as arrows, were directed at Xu Yuan, but the words it spoke took all three of them by surprise and left them frozen in place,

“Human youth, my king wishes to ascend the path of ultimate bliss with you. What do you think?
