Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

As evening approached, fiery clouds blanketed the entire sky.

Eight-Silver Earth Bear wandered around the forbidden area, carrying a large pile of dry rations.

Ah Zi quickly stepped forward to help it hold it: "Eighth Master, give it to me."

"No need, no need, I can take it myself." Hachigami Kuma shook his head and refused.

"Would you like to send some to... um... Grandma?" Azi was clearly uncomfortable calling a human that, but since Eighth Master had called her that, she could only follow suit: "Just send the dry rations into the cave, just like I sent to you before, Eighth Master."

"No, no, this won't work." Eight Silver Earth Bear refused outright. His great-aunt was most averse to being disturbed while cultivating, so how could he be sent directly into the cave?

"Since we can't get into the cave, we can't let our grandma go hungry," Jifeng whispered from the side, his brows furrowed, and he began to help think of a solution.

However, the three beasts couldn't come up with a solution no matter how much they thought about it.

The eight-silver bear sighed and decided to pile all the dry rations at the cave entrance. That way, when the old lady got hungry, she would naturally look for food without disturbing her cultivation.

After doing all this, it clapped its hands, signaling Gale and Azi to go out: "You just need to guard the entrance of the forbidden area and not let anyone in to disturb us."

Having said that, Hachigami looked back at the fiery red sunset that shone into the forbidden area and fell into deep thought.

Ordinary demonic beasts need at least a hundred days to transform into tenth-tier humanoid forms, let alone divine beasts to materialize. This time, the time required for the Crimson Fusion will definitely be even longer...

Since my great-aunt chose to go into seclusion at this time, she should be busy cultivating while waiting for Chi Rong to emerge from seclusion. It is hard to say when she will emerge.

It could take anywhere from a few months to several years.

In short, we must not let anyone disturb them!

Eight-Silver Earth Bear snapped out of its reverie, turned, and stepped out of the stone gate: "Hehe, I've been holding back for three million years, I should stretch my muscles around the area later..."

-

Guan Xun took out a brand new set of clothes from his storage ring and changed into them. Then he looked up and scanned the stone wall.

With a gentle flick of his hand, all the spiritual energy mist flowed towards the stone wall, covering the bright fluorescent light and transforming it into a soft, gentle glow that was neither too dazzling nor too dim, making it very comfortable to look at.

She then sat cross-legged on the bluestone. The cool touch of the fabric of her dress made her still somewhat groggy head more alert, and the faint blush on her cheeks faded away.

"The blood you mentioned." The little fish, which had been in the pool, surfaced only after realizing that the other party had put on clothes.

"Oh, I can't give it to you now. As you can see, I need to cultivate." Guan Xun brushed aside the strands of hair on his forehead and glanced at them.

Little Fish: ……

The little fish ignored her, closed its eyes again, and disappeared into the water.

Guan Xun's eyes flickered, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips. It was the first time he had seen Xiao Yu so anxious. This blood should be of great use to increase its strength.

After all, she couldn't think of anything else that Xiaoyu would care about besides increasing her strength and leaving her side.

Therefore, we can't just give it blood casually. Anyway, we don't need to store anything right now, so we'll decide after the seclusion ends.

Bringing his thoughts back to the present, Guan Xun let out a long breath, then his fair and slender fingers intertwined, forming a hand seal. As if summoned by something, the surrounding spiritual energy all rushed towards him.

Chi Rong had already left her body, so the absorbed spiritual energy had nowhere to disperse. It all concentrated in her dantian like a flood, rapidly circulating along the dantian's energy vortex and pouring into it.

The four-colored mists of red, white, green, and black appeared around me without warning, merging and repelling each other in a contradictory way. The energy enveloped my body, gradually forming a faint and unfamiliar color.

It appears red but lacks energy, and green but has a dark hue. The colorful and translucent elements intertwine and reflect on the stone wall, creating a very eerie effect.

This phenomenon repeats itself endlessly, over and over again.

A vast and orderly flow of spiritual energy surged toward the person sitting on the bluestone, until the sun set and night fell, and then until the dawn broke...

The concept of time is already quite vague, and this is even more true in the quiet and isolated cave.

……

Three months after Guan Xun went into seclusion, in the inner perimeter of the Illusion Forest.

A large number of high-level demonic beasts poured out from the inner perimeter, panicking as if something was chasing them.

Hao Aman squatted on the tree, looking down at the beast tide below, extremely puzzled.

Are there any monsters in the inner area? Why are they all running towards the outer area?

In the past few months, he has encountered dozens of beast tides, forcing him to climb trees to escape each time, which is very troublesome.

Since being rescued by Guan Xun last time, all the beast cores in his storage ring have been taken by the other party. He should have returned to the Imperial Academy long ago, but he has no choice but to stay here for a while to retrieve the beast cores.

What should have been a matter that could have been resolved in ten days or so has been delayed until now due to the beast tide.

"Sigh." Hao Aman sighed deeply, feeling a terrible headache.

Suddenly, he sensed a powerful aura approaching him. His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly hid behind the dense foliage.

A purple figure appeared, heading straight towards the beast tide. Just before they collided, the purple figure leaped up and landed on the top of a tree.

Hao Aman carefully parted the leaves to look over there, and when she saw the handsome face of the purple-robed boy, a look of surprise and delight instantly appeared on her face.

He immediately stood up, waving repeatedly at the purple-robed youth and shouting, "Lord Bai Liao?! Lord Bai Liao!"

Bai Liao, who had already sensed someone hiding nearby, frowned upon hearing the shout. Only people from two places would refer to it that way: the Imperial Palace or the Academy.

It leaped into the air and flew towards the direction of the sound, landing steadily next to Hao Aman.

After sizing the other person up and down, seeing that he was young, it was clear that he was a student. At the moment, it was in a bad mood, and its tone naturally carried a bit of irritation: "Why is the student not at the academy? Why is he here?"

Hao Aman was taken aback. He had only met Bai Liao a few times and didn't know whether the other party was naturally like this or simply disliked him.

Even though he was a man whom the dean had to address with respect, he didn't dare to put on a long face. He just forced a smile and briefly recounted what had happened.

"It's a pity that the divine being left in the blink of an eye, and I didn't even have time to say goodbye properly," he said, shaking his head regretfully.

It would be his honor to be able to befriend someone as beautiful and powerful as a god...

A powerful woman in white with a spirit pet... To Bai Liao, this description was clearly that of Guan Xun, whom he was looking for!

It grabbed the other person's collar: "Which way did she go?"

Bai Liao spoke in a harsh tone, without the slightest hint of politeness. From the moment Guan Xun disappeared, it immediately set out to search for him. However, it had searched the inner perimeter and the Ten Thousand Demon Valley thoroughly, but could not find a trace of him. It even asked passing demon beasts, but the demon beasts knew nothing about it.

The woman seemed to have vanished into thin air, and it couldn't help but wonder if she had already left the area.

Now that it has caught even the slightest bit of news, it is naturally hard for it to remain calm.

"I don't know." Hao Aman was startled and quickly reached out to grab the tree branch next to him, afraid that the other party might throw him away if he was unhappy.

So Lord Bai Liao's temperament is really this terrible...

Could it be that he is an enemy of the divine being?

The thought flashed through his mind, and he cautiously inquired, "Lord Bai Liao, why are you in such a hurry to find the divine being... could it be that she has offended you?"

Sensing the other party's attitude, Bai Liao loosened his grip, stood with his hands behind his back, and coughed a few times to salvage his earlier loss of composure: "No, it's just that the Imperial Tutor has some urgent business with her, and I'll have a real headache if I can't find her."

The Imperial Tutor is seeking a divine being?!
