Chapter 55: White Deer Escapes, Sun Yuan Blends In

  Bai Lu Jing returned to his own cave with a gloomy face, grabbed a wine jar and started drinking heavily. To say the least, he was also involved in this matter, but at this moment, the old tiger spirit did not interrogate Milu Jing, otherwise, he would have been exposed. Just thinking about Milu Jing's miserable appearance, Bai Lu Jing's facial muscles twitched.

  He anxiously paced back and forth in the house, but no matter how he thought about it, it seemed that White Deer's only option was to escape. For now, they could only temporarily avoid the storm and wait until Wild Boar found the treasure and completed his cultivation. Then, they would return to settle accounts with Old Tiger. However, for some reason, White Deer felt that this idea was somewhat laughable.

  He hesitated in the house for half a day, finally took a deep breath, made up his mind, and started packing his luggage to leave. Half an hour later, Bai Lu Jing had packed everything neatly, including food and clothes, which was enough for him to leave this place and travel far away. As for where he would go, he hadn't thought it through yet. For now, he could only take things one step at a time.

  At this moment, a knock at the door sounded, and Bai Lu's forehead jumped with blue veins. His heart almost jumped out in fright. He hastily stuffed his luggage under the bed, took out his own xuan iron dagger from under the bed, tightly attached it to his waist, and slowly approached the door.

  "Who is it?" Bai Lu Jing tried to calm his breathing and asked in a calm tone, but the only response he got was the continuous knocking sound, and surprisingly, no one answered from outside!

  Taking a deep breath, Bai Lu Jing grasped the dagger tightly in one hand and made a forward stabbing motion. With his other hand, he slowly reached out to the door handle, his arm suddenly thrusting forward with a loud "crack" as he knocked the door bolt loose. His other hand was poised and ready to strike at any moment if something went wrong.

  "Huh? It's you." The White Deer King's face changed suddenly, first shocked and then delighted, followed by a look of discomfort. "How did you get back so quickly? Did you obtain the treasure?" The White Deer King hastily opened the door and invited the guest outside to enter.

  As soon as the door opened a crack, two figures darted in from the shadows outside. The White Deer King was startled once again; he had clearly not expected there to be another one.

  "Who is this?" Seeing the wild boar pull down its hood to reveal a familiar face, the White Deer King took a slight breath, put away the dagger in his hand, and pointed at Sun Yuan.

  "This is a good friend of mine, who happened to meet outside. He heard that the scenery of our Snake Son Mountain is very good, so he came to take a look. What's going on? Why are you so tense?" The wild boar spirit said lightly. On the way, Sun Yuan told this guy about his purpose, and as a result, this guy promised not to trouble Sun Yuan in the future, but he couldn't control the other monsters on Snake Son Mountain, especially the tiger spirit. So there was this sneaky infiltration action."

  "The White Tiger Spirit discovered something unusual at the banquet today, and that Deer Spirit has spilled everything! He's now hanging in the Grand Hall of the Cave Mansion. If you don't come, I reckon he would have left by now. Let's leave for now, we can always come back after we've dug up the treasure!" The White Deer Spirit pulled out their luggage from under the bed and turned to ask "Did you find the treasure map or not?"

  "Alright, there's no treasure map after all. It was just Old Yellow Hair playing tricks on us. I used the compass to locate the spot, but when I arrived, I only found a tattered book. The diagram inside had already been taken by someone else." The Pig Demon pulled out the Wulin Secret Manual from his bosom and tossed it at White Deer Spirit.

  "It's not it! Then we have to leave, otherwise the White Tiger Spirit will catch us and we'll really be speechless!" The White Deer Spirit took over the book, refused to give up, flipped through it again, and found that it was indeed just a very ordinary Wulin secret recipe. Taking over the demon energy compass left by Huang Mao Lao Zu, he looked at it and confirmed that it was indeed this book. Suddenly, his heart felt a bit dull.

  "Listen, we don't have to go, I've had enough of the tiger spirit. Today, with my good friend here, White Deer, are you daring to make a move?" The wild boar grabbed one of White Deer's feet as he was about to step out the door and pulled him back in.

  "Are you crazy? The Black Tiger is a rare breed, he's the best! With his peak transformation skills, who can withstand his claw attack? You, or your friend here?" White Deer was taken aback for a moment, then jumped up and down like a rabbit that had lost its tail.

  "Hei Hu is nothing, as long as he hasn't formed his dan, in front of my friend he's just a piece of trash." The wild boar's nostrils faced the sky, and he reached out to press down on Bai Lu Jing, telling him to calm down.

  "You're not feverish, are you? Just this one wild monkey?" At this time, Sun Yuan had already taken off his cloak, revealing his true face, so Bai Lu Jing saw through him at a glance.

  "White Deer, show some respect! This friend of mine is a senior fellow practitioner who has formed the Golden Elixir. You mustn't be rude!" The wild boar was startled, and his current identity was quite embarrassing. To put it bluntly, he was still Sun Yuan's captive. At this moment, he naturally couldn't let his friend provoke Sun Yuan, only he knew how terrifying an enraged Sun Yuan could be.

  "Kundalini's demon?" Bai Lu Jing's pupils suddenly enlarged, staring at Sun Yuan in disbelief. As a demon with a long inheritance, he knew how difficult it was for a demon to achieve kundalini.

  "What, you don't believe?" Sun Yuan smiled slightly, took a step forward, and swung his palm out, directly hitting Bai Lu Jing's chest. Bai Lu Jing only felt the shadow of the palm flash by, followed by a surge of great force coming from his chest, and then his body involuntarily flew up, crashing into the mountain rock behind him.

  Sun Yuan's body slightly moved, quickly advancing forward, and grabbed the White Deer Essence that had fallen from the wall again in his hand. "How about it? Do you believe me now?"

  "Alright, alright, thank you for sparing my life." Bai Lu Jing wiped away the trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth and hastily spoke, but he was thoroughly frightened out of his wits. Just a moment ago, he had almost thought that he would never see tomorrow's sun again.

  Although he didn't know how strong the demon king was, he knew that the attack on the tiger spirit just now was absolutely impossible to withstand, which was enough for him. Moreover, he didn't dare to say more, this demon in front of him would start a big fight at any moment, and it seemed that it wasn't a kind one either!

  "Now that's done, we can have a good talk." Sun Yuan casually released Bailu Jing, swept away his luggage, and sat down on the bed with a thud. He looked at Bailu Jing, who was visibly constrained, without any intention of letting him sit down, clearly lacking the awareness of being a guest.

  Bai Lu Jing, who had suffered a loss before, dared not say anything. He hastily nodded and took out two cushions from the corner, giving one to Zhu Yao and sitting on the other himself. The two demons sat down in front of Sun Yuan and began a detailed discussion.
