Chapter 362: The Bloodline of the Ancient Demon

"Senior Brother Xia, Senior Sister He, can I be on your team later?" At that moment, a disciple quietly approached the two and said.

He admired Senior Brother Xia and Senior Sister He immensely; not only were they highly skilled, but they were also a couple—enviable indeed.

The "Ancient Demon Domain" was fraught with danger, and following two experts would surely ensure his safety.

Even if he didn't get anything good, he'd at least get something ordinary.

"Sure," He Yuhan said, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes, then nodded.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, we want to join your team too!" At that moment, several more disciples, upon entering the trial, began seeking powerful allies.

"Alright, no problem." He Yuhan accepted everyone who came.

"Yuhan, this..." Xia Youtian looked at the scene, feeling a bit worried. Weren't they here to find something? Why bring so many people?

But when he saw Yuhan's smile, he said no more.

Because he trusted Yuhan, and in his view, Yuhan was very clever. His survival to this day and his rapid improvement in strength were all inseparable from Yuhan.

...

After watching these people disappear into the thick mist, Lin Fan also entered the mist from another side.

The "Ancient Demon Domain" was always shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.

Legend had it that the "Ancient Demon Domain" was where an ancient great demon fell. Its enormous corpse fell from the sky onto this capital city, and the foul aura emitted by the corpse was absorbed by the people in the city, causing them all to die suddenly. At the same time, an impenetrable mist enveloped the area.

Whether this was true or false was unknown.

Now, Lin Fan broke through the mist and looked at the scene before him: broken eaves and collapsed pavilions, all indicating that this had once been a prosperous capital.

The "Ancient Demon Domain" was filled with murky mist, gloomy, terrifying, and chilling.

Just then, a pair of blood-red eyes hidden in the depths suddenly lunged at Lin Fan.

"Whoa, what's that?" Lin Fan pointed a finger, and a sword intent directly slew the shadow that pounced at him.

"Ding, congratulations on killing an early Xiantian demon."

"Ding, congratulations, experience +1."

...

Lin Fan shook his head. It seemed the rumors were true; these were probably people infected by the ancient great demon's foul gas.

But they were too weak.

Lin Fan was completely clueless about this place, not knowing how to search, so he just wandered around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Along the way, Lin Fan killed many demons, but they were mostly at the Xiantian realm, with none of higher cultivation.

At this point, Lin Fan fell into thought. Could this area be relatively safe? Did he need to go deeper to encounter stronger demons?

Just then, a herb emitting a red glow grew on a corpse.

"Ding, congratulations on discovering Blood Spirit Grass."

"Blood Spirit Grass: Nourished by blood energy, it can double one's own blood energy."

Lin Fan threw the Blood Spirit Grass on the ground. To ordinary martial artists, it was a precious treasure, but to Lin Fan, it was no different from garbage.

A training ground indeed—dangerous, but with treasures to match.

Lin Fan continued deeper and encountered many sect disciples, but he stayed in the shadows and did not reveal himself.

These disciples formed groups, killed demons, and obtained many precious herbs and treasures.

However, Lin Fan encountered some disciples in danger. Although these demons were not very strong, they looked quite gruesome. Some disciples, seeing them for the first time, were scared out of their wits, naturally giving the demons the upper hand.

Since he encountered them, Lin Fan naturally wouldn't stand by idly. From the shadows, he casually eliminated them.

As Lin Fan continued forward, the mist in the air grew thicker.

The strength of those demons also improved qualitatively.

Most were now at the Rushen realm.

But to Lin Fan, they were still like ants, easily killed, granting only a few pitiful experience points.

...

Elsewhere.

Some disciples clung tightly to Xia Youtian and He Yuhan's coattails, reaping a rich harvest along the way.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, there's a spirit herb here." A disciple, seeing a spirit herb growing in a crevice, shouted excitedly.

But for this disciple, finding a spirit herb naturally meant he wouldn't dare keep it for himself.

"En, since you found it, it's yours." He Yuhan said.

"Thank you, Senior Sister." The disciple said happily, then carefully placed the spirit herb in his storage pouch.

Following Senior Brother and Senior Sister was indeed the right choice. This spirit herb was guarded by a Rushen realm demon.

If not for Senior Brother and Senior Sister killing the demon, he alone might not have been able to do it.

The other disciples around looked at that junior with envy and jealousy.

Damn, how lucky! Why hadn't they seen it?

But for them, they were already satisfied. Along the way, Senior Brother and Senior Sister displayed great power, and any demon they encountered met its end.

And Senior Brother Xia and Senior Sister He didn't care about the spirit herbs and treasures, letting them take whatever they wanted, which made them overjoyed.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, the demons ahead are getting stronger. Maybe we should turn back?" A disciple, seeing the demons they now faced, couldn't help but worry.

Especially since his storage pouch was already full, he was content.

"Hmph, why are you so cowardly? With Senior Brother and Senior Sister here, what's there to fear? If you want to go back, go back alone. Following Senior Brother and Senior Sister, there's meat to eat." Another disciple said disapprovingly.

"Alright then." The disciple thought for a moment and agreed. With Senior Brother and Senior Sister here, what was there to fear?

He Yuhan looked at these disciples, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned, revealing a smile.

"Yuhan, I feel a mysterious aura ahead." Xia Youtian frowned, sensing something ominous.

"Xia-gege, that's what we're looking for." He Yuhan said.

"Yuhan, just tell me what it is, okay?" Xia Youtian, seeing Yuhan's confident expression, understood that she must know what it was, otherwise she wouldn't be so calm.

"The bloodline of the ancient great demon." He Yuhan said softly.

"Ah..." Xia Youtian was stunned.

"Legend has it that this is where the ancient great demon fell, and it's true. This ancient great demon was a sovereign. Although tens of thousands of years have passed, this bloodline can withstand the passage of time. As long as Xia-gege consumes this bloodline, you can possess the demon god bloodline, and the benefits will be numerous." He Yuhan said with narrowed eyes.

"Yuhan, who exactly are you? How do you know so much?" Xia Youtian asked.

"Xia-gege, don't ask. Just believe that I won't harm you." He Yuhan said.

Xia Youtian was silent for a moment, then nodded. Over the past few months, he had followed Yuhan into many forbidden areas, gained many benefits, and his cultivation had skyrocketed—all thanks to Yuhan.

Without Yuhan, he might still be at the early Rushen realm.

In Xia Youtian's eyes, Yuhan was a moving encyclopedia, as if she knew everything.
