He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. The worst was yet to come. He had to find the person who took his Dragon-Snake Fruit and get it back. He didn't dare think about how he would face the Serpent if he failed. He owed the Serpent a huge debt of karma, and now that things had gone wrong, he was already thinking about how much karma he would have to repay in the future. He had to get the Dragon-Snake Fruit.

After calming himself down, he began to examine the traces at the scene. The soil was brown and showed signs of being scorched by flames. This was a fire-type cultivator. There was no demonic aura, so it was a human cultivator. Fire-type, human—this area was still too large. He would see if he could find any personal belongings to make things easier.

Suddenly, he noticed a trace of blood. Great! Blood is a very important aura for a cultivator. They, the demon beasts, can find traces of cultivators through blood. This is their hunting talent. Not to mention demon beasts, even ordinary carnivores can do this.

He trembled as he forked his tongue, trying to detect the bloody scent in the air. Fortunately, the battle here didn't seem to have ended too long ago, so he could still smell the blood.

The other person was walking alone to the east, not far away. He followed the scent and began to pursue them.

At this moment, to the east, a young man was healing his injuries in a cave. His name was Situ Wangchuan, a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining from the Yellow Spring Sect. The Yellow Spring Sect was far away from here, and he was not a local cultivator. It was really a coincidence that he came here.

He came out to gain experience and saw the opening of the secret realm from afar, so he came in to try his luck. He gained a lot here, but when he was obtaining the Dragon Serpent Fruit, he fought a fierce battle with the monster guarding the fruit, a giant black python. Although he won in the end, his injuries were very serious, and he could only heal here.

However, he suddenly opened his eyes, and sweat appeared on his forehead. He felt something was wrong; he was restless, as if something was about to happen. He wanted to continue meditating, but he couldn't calm his mind. He realized that his subconscious was telling him that there was danger here and that he had to leave.

This is an ability possessed by all cultivators of the Yellow Springs Sect. Their Yellow Springs Meng Po Scripture has this miraculous power: they can sense any great danger that is about to befall them. This is a very famous ability of the Yellow Springs Sect, which greatly improves the safety of their cultivators. Many cultivators envy this ability.

Situ Wangchuan immediately got up and continued running eastward. He even concealed his presence and tracks, hoping to ensure his safety.

After about half an hour, Gu Yuchuan arrived. Looking at the cave, he saw flames that hadn't lost their warmth and a strong human presence. He knew the other party had only just left. However, he frowned, his small eyes filled with great doubt.

Something's not right. Judging from his aura, he's clearly still injured. This cave seems incredibly well-hidden. Why isn't he healing here? Why is he running? Could he still sense my pursuit? That's absurd; he didn't even realize it himself. Actually, he'd already figured out the reason.

However, since they've already chased him this far, they're practically done with catching up. The other person can't get much further. Although he concealed his aura, such aura might actually be useful to a human cultivator, but Gu Yuchuan isn't. He's a snake, and snakes are naturally very sensitive to auras, since their eyes aren't very good.

He merely flicked his tongue, and soon sensed the direction the other party was fleeing in. This took less than half an incense stick's time. He immediately gave chase. His speed was definitely much faster than Situ Wangchuan's. After all, Situ Wangchuan had to conceal his tracks and be extremely cautious, but Gu Yuchuan only needed to catch up quickly.

Soon, Gu Yuchuan spotted the human figure in the distance.

"Human in front, stop now. If you do as I say, I promise I won't kill you."

However, Gu Yuchuan's words made Situ Wangchuan fly even faster. He didn't trust the demon race. Who knew if he would be instantly killed if he stopped? However, his strength did seem to be inferior to Gu Yuchuan's. After running for a while, they were very close. Gu Yuchuan directly used water to create a cage and trapped him.

Situ Wangchuan immediately put on a fawning smile: "Snake King, I wonder why you've stopped me? I'll definitely cooperate."

Once Gu Yuchuan was sure he had stopped the other person, he stopped rushing and even looked at him with interest, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery: "Why aren't you running anymore? Aren't you supposed to be a fast runner? I chased you for two whole hours before I caught up with you. Run another one and let me see. Come on."

Situ Wangchuan was being subservient; he knew that if he didn't handle things properly, he would die here.

"Your Majesty, you appear so powerful and imposing. I am but a lowly human cultivator. Upon seeing you, I would surely be terrified and want to run away. Please do not take offense. What business do you have with me? I will certainly comply."

Gu Yuchuan didn't want to argue with him anymore. After all, the most important thing now was to get the Dragon-Snake Fruit; everything else was secondary.

Gu Yuchuan stared intently at the other party, his eyes filled with intense killing intent: "Hand over the Dragon Serpent Fruit. I know there are five Dragon Serpent Fruits on that tree. If even one is missing, I will make sure you die without a burial place, and your soul will be tormented in endless demonic fire. Think about it yourself."

His face turned extremely ugly; he hadn't expected that this was what the other party wanted.

This Dragon-Snake Fruit is also useful to him. It can improve the quality of a person's physical body. They, as cultivators, do not cultivate their physical bodies, so the physical body is their weakness. Anything that can improve the physical body is very precious. He really didn't want to give it away, but he didn't dare, so he had no choice but to take it out.

Gu Yuchuan was very happy after receiving it. He was in a good mood and didn't plan to kill the other party anymore. He wasn't a murderer, and there was no benefit in it for him to kill someone at will.

He swallowed one directly and immediately felt his bloodline begin to condense and purify, taking him one step closer to becoming a mid-grade spirit beast. He was overjoyed, as bloodline is often more important than cultivation for the demon race.
