Quick Wear Beauty

Amidst the rising steam beside the sacred spring, two eggs floated quietly in the clear water, their shells shimmering with a radiant light even more intense than a month ago.

The egg, originally moon-white, occasionally flashes with gold, likely due to the influence of royal blood.

The turquoise egg changed color from gold to red to white to black, eventually becoming a kaleidoscope of colors. Even when Li Guang wasn't cultivating, he was always drawn to the colors of Li Yan's eggshell.

Sometimes, she couldn't even sense her son's presence, but as soon as she called out, he would appear in the spiritual spring.

According to Li Yan, sometimes when he cultivates, he feels like he's in another dimension, but he can't quite control his power. She guesses that her son has probably awakened special talents in dark and spatial attributes.

As Li Guang's fingertips brushed across the water's surface, creating a shallow ripple, she was pondering whether to add some more deep-sea agarwood to the spring when she heard familiar footsteps behind her.

She turned around and saw Bai Heng striding towards her. His usually slightly melancholy eyes were unusually lighthearted, and he was holding a communication jade slip in his hand.

It seems there is good news.

Since Bai Heng is currently unable to fight against Liao, then we should introduce a third-party force to disrupt the situation, so as to prevent Liao from focusing solely on Bai Heng. In the past month, there has been a significant increase in unfamiliar presences in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Beasts, which is not a good thing.

After analysis, their chosen target was none other than Hu Bugui, the younger brother of the old demon king who had failed to seize the throne years ago.

Fox is arrogant and stubborn, and does not obey the old demon king's discipline. In pursuit of advancement, he made a mistake hundreds of years ago and almost used his own kind to refine pills. The old demon king discovered and stopped him in time, and after reprimanding him, he hid away and went into seclusion.

Centuries have passed, and Bai Heng no longer believes that Hu Bugui has no ambition or desire for the Demon King's throne.

So he sent his trusted confidants to stir up trouble and get a group of demons to secretly defect to Fox Return.

Initial results are now being seen.

Bai Heng stopped by the spirit spring, his gaze first falling on the two eggs. Seeing that the two siblings were safe and sound, he turned to Li Guang and waved the communication talisman in his hand, "It's done on Hu Bugui's end."

Li Guang's heart skipped a beat: "Is he facing off against Liao? The former fox clan elder should be no weaker than Liao."

"It's not just about confronting them, it's about trampling their dignity underfoot."

Bai Heng's lips curled into a cold smile.

"Three days ago, during the Demon Clan Grand Ceremony, Liao originally intended to use the pretext of sacrificing to the heavens to completely consolidate the military power of the various clans. Who would have thought that my uncle, Hu Bugui, would suddenly appear?"

He had been in seclusion for five hundred years, and his cultivation had long since broken through to the Mahayana stage. Liao's injuries hadn't even fully healed, and in his hasty response, he was utterly defeated by Hu Bugui in less than a hundred moves, falling off the sacrificial altar in front of everyone.

As he spoke, there was no joy in his tone, but rather a hint of indifference, "The grand ceremony was ruined, and the Liao people have lost all face. Half of the demon tribes that were already wavering have now sided with Uncle."

The demon realm was divided into three factions: one supporting Liao, one supporting Hu Bugui, and the third remaining neutral, or rather, leaning towards me. Liao was busy gathering his remaining forces, while Hu Bugui was regrouping in the old fox clan territory. The two were locked in a fierce battle, having no time to concern themselves with the war against the human race.

Upon hearing this, Li Guang breathed a sigh of relief: "In this way, the war in the Western Ash Region can finally be put to a temporary halt."

"Yes, the human race has sent an envoy to discuss a ceasefire."

Bai Heng's fingertips traced the patterns on Yan Yan's eggshell. "But this is ultimately just a temporary fix."

Li Guang understood what he meant. The fight between the snipe and the clam seemed to result in both Liao and Hu Bugui being severely injured, but both of them had the same plan in mind.

As expected, Bai Heng's expression darkened: "Liao and Hu Bugui are both looking for me."
