One Hundred and Eight, Xue Po Zhen

  The Nameless Island is vast in territory, with hidden crises everywhere on the island. There are dangers from the forbidden as well as threats from the Void Beasts. Coupled with the environment, even a demon cultivator who had been hiding on the island for tens of millions of years did not fully understand this island.

  In a certain pit on the island, a yellow-bottomed black-spotted long-toothed leopard and a silver-white gyrfalcon were sitting together, seemingly discussing something. If one approached slightly closer at this time, they could see that between them on the ground was a faint circle of array patterns flickering in and out of sight.

  The silver-white bird asked hesitantly, "Brother Leopard, isn't it inappropriate for us to take the liberty? Shouldn't we ask the master first?"

  That yellow leopard sneered back, "What's the point of asking her? Is she better at breaking arrays than me? Now that she's not here, I'm the greatest! Listening to me is always right!"

  "But...," the big bird still had some misgivings, "the master has instructed that if we find the next array, we must inform her once again, especially when breaking through..."

  But before it had finished speaking, a loud explosion was heard and the entire bird's body was blown out of the way by the blast. It turned out that the leopard had casually placed its paw on the central pattern while the bird was talking.

  Looking at the light pillar that shot straight into the sky, the big bird's expression was slightly stunned. The smoke dispersed, and the leopard appeared, glanced at it with an unfulfilled gaze, and said: "Your bones are too weak, just this little force has blown you out, you need to strengthen your training, I don't need a fragile younger brother."

  The big bird couldn't help but twitch the corner of its eye, it was full of grievances. It subconsciously puckered up its beak and thought to itself: "What to do? The master had entrusted me with taking care of Leopard Brother, but clearly I'm no match for him! If the master were to blame me, that wouldn't be a laughing matter." At this point, it also recalled the master's smiling face when he plucked its feathers and drew its blood, and it couldn't help but shudder. Forget it! Although it had great respect for Leopard Brother, the master was even more terrifying. So it made a very difficult decision: it would report to the master!

  That leopard didn't know its own mind, seeing it still sitting on the ground in a daze, so impatiently urged: "What are you still daydreaming about, get up quickly, we're going to find the next array."

  The big bird got up reluctantly and followed the leopard obediently, originally the two had a huge difference in body shape, and now with the small leopard leading the way in front, this scene was indescribably comical.

  In fact, these two beasts were none other than Ling Xiu's spirit pets, Xiao Huan and Jian Chi Bao, who had been left on the inner island by Xiao Yao.

  Xiao Yao and Jian Chi Bao are now one entity, with a special way of transmitting sound that is not restricted by divine consciousness. Two days after they separated, she gave the two pets several orders, mainly to find out the formation eye and think of ways to break the formation, while she was responsible for dealing with the unknown city's demon cultivators, everyone went their separate ways.

  This will be a test of the leopard's abilities, while Xiao Yao is currently on the inner island, but she is now with the four demons.

  The light pillar that just appeared with a single blow from Baozi happened to be seen by them.

  "Big brother! Look, another light pillar has appeared!" Xiong Lao San exclaimed.

  "En," Wang Ermao's eyes gazed deeply into the distance at the light pillar, "but this time it's much smaller than last time."

  As he spoke, he couldn't help but sneak a glance at Xiao Yao, who was standing last in line. He saw that her face didn't show much expression, only her eyes flickered slightly, as if a hint of surprise had flashed across them.

  Last time he suspected that the powerful force was caused by this female demon, now this female demon has been following them all along, and just now they have come all the way without any problems, it seems that the relationship between the two can be ruled out. However, he still cannot relax his vigilance, there are still many suspicious points on this female demon's body.

  "Lately, strange phenomena have been occurring frequently on the inner island. I'm afraid that an unknown change has taken place within the island. From now on, we must be doubly cautious in our actions. Once we return to Nameless City, I will report this matter to the leader."

  He said this last sentence to Xiao Yao, if she was really the leader of the gang, they not only couldn't show any weakness in front of her, but also had to put on a good performance.

  "Shall we go and take a look?" This time it was Old Hou who spoke up.

  Wang Erma lowered his head and pondered for a moment. When he raised his eyes again, his gaze was unwavering: "No, attending to proper business is urgent."

  The two demons stopped talking and looked back involuntarily with their gaze.

  Xiao Yao still didn't have any extra expression, or rather she hadn't paid much attention to the four demons' conversation, but was scolding Baozi in her heart for thousands of times. Others might not be clear about it, but she knew very well the power brought by the explosion of immortal energy - that good-for-nothing troublemaker! If only I had known earlier, I wouldn't have pitied and let it go free!

  Xiao Yao cursed the leopard in her heart, but to the four demons, she looked stupid and numb. Wang Ermazi frowned and said: "If fellow Taoist delays again and can't keep up with us, don't blame me if you get lost."

  "Sorry," Xiao Yao suddenly came back to her senses from her internal monologue, clearing her throat and saying: "It's unavoidable to be shocked by the strange phenomenon. The four of you don't need to worry about me, I'll keep up closely."

  "That's great, fellow Taoist can follow closely." Wang Ermao sneered and turned his head to continue moving forward in the forest.

  Until four hours later, Xiao Yao became alone again, but this time it wasn't that she had wandered off and got lost, but rather the four demons deliberately wanted to get rid of her. She had long been prepared in her heart that the four demons would not let her have a good life, so after being "lost", she naturally wouldn't go find those four demons again, but instead turned around to look for Baozi and Xiao Xun's two pets.

  In a mountain valley somewhere tens of thousands of miles away, the four demons were relieved to have shaken off Xiao Yao.

  Xiong Lao San was in a great mood, hehe smiled and said: "Finally got rid of that annoying tail, I don't believe those women will have such good luck again, and safely return from the inner island!"

  Wang Ermao, however, did not seem as arrogant as him, and only said lightly: "Nothing is absolute, escaping once may be luck, if there's a second time then it's real ability. Whether she was just lucky or pretending to be crazy, we'll know when we return to Wuming City this time."

  "It's still big brother who sees clearly," Xiong Lao San chuckled and patted his own back of the head, "Since we've already shaken off that woman, let's not mention her. We've been watched closely lately, and it's been a long time since we had a good chance to cultivate freely. Let's seize some time and head to 'Fudi'."

  The four demons then sped up their journey, and soon arrived at a dense thicket of trees. There were several small hills here, but they were hidden from view by the dense foliage. If a leopard were to pass through this place, it would discover that this was also a natural battle arena.

  Only four monsters came to the foot of one of the small hills, after confirming that there was no one around, Wang Ermazi spat out a black ball-like object from his mouth and tapped it lightly on the mountain three times. Suddenly, the place where he was tapped made a loud rumbling sound, and a stone cave entrance appeared, which only allowed one person to enter with their head bowed. The four monsters crouched down and entered one by one, and when they all entered the stone cave, there was another loud noise, and the mountain returned to its original state.

  Not to mention what the four monsters did after entering, on the other hand, Xiao Yao encountered some minor troubles while meeting with Bao Zi and Xiao Sun.

  Everyone says that the island has many forbidden arrays, and when she passed through a rocky beach, she accidentally triggered the forbidden array on the beach and was trapped in the maze of the forbidden array. Moreover, this time's forbidden array is much more powerful than the last time's confinement array. The last array only confined people, but this time's forbidden array is an attacking forbidden array, which not only confines people but also appears every minute with a red lotus-like flame that will burn everything in the forbidden array to ashes.

  Xiao Yao tried to resist for a while, but soon realized that this fire was extremely fierce. Even her strong and resilient body would eventually produce a charred smell if burned for too long. Just as she was thinking of a countermeasure, something in her dantian couldn't hold back anymore and automatically came out to "put out the fire".

  After releasing the phoenix fire, not half a minute later, all the flames around were swallowed up by it. Looking at its increasingly round belly, Xiao Yao let out a sigh: This thing is probably never going to recover its figure again.

  And this guy has been in a state of saturation and stagnation since his last transformation in the Starfall Valley, although he went out to fight and devour flames every few tens of thousands of years, but transformation never appeared again.

  She didn't have high expectations for it, as long as the fire spirit wasn't extinguished and could refine equipment, she didn't care whether its body was beautiful or ugly, or if it had a big brain or a fat belly.

  After getting the help of Feng Huo, Xiao Yao calmed down and carefully examined the restriction. To be honest, she didn't plan to use her immortal energy to forcibly break through it. Last time, she missed a great opportunity to study the formation, and this time, how could she let it slip away easily?!

  According to the positions of Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen and Dui, Xiao Yao concentrated her mind and calculated the position of the array eye. However, after several attempts, she still failed, and in the end, it was just a matter of one positioning disk. She hadn't even learned to walk yet, but she had already jumped to running steps; if this worked, it would be strange. But asking her to give up now, she couldn't help feeling unconvinced. If she really gave up on breaking the array at this moment, she feared that she would easily become disheartened. So, gritting her teeth, she started calculating again from each position of the trigrams, vowing to find the array eye.

  The sun sets and the moon rises, and another half month has passed in a flash. Xiao Yao is still deeply engrossed in the puzzle, unaware of her surroundings. Although she is very diligent and determined, up to now, she still hasn't found any clue about the location of the array.

  Before she broke through the array, that leopard was already impatient, and transmitted a voice filled with discontent: "Did you fall into that crevice?! I've been waiting for you at the original location for over ten days, even if you were crawling, you should have arrived long ago!"

  Xiao Yao finally snapped out of her daze, muttering to herself: "So I've already spent over ten days trapped in the seal?" She then replied, "I was trapped by a seal and am currently dispelling it."

  The leopard was even more furious, "This exercise demon pot is mainly used to train spiritual beasts, and the forbidden array method inside is not a powerful complex killing array! If I don't use half an hour to break it, since you don't have this ability, don't take on this task, hurry up and use your immortal energy to break the array for me! Don't let me wait here in vain!"

  Xiao Yao's mind is now focused on breaking the formation, and she doesn't want to argue with it anymore. She calmly said: "If you don't want to wait, go find the array eye with Xiao Yun first, I'll come find you after I break out of the formation."

  "Whatever!" The leopard said irritably from another place: "I really don't understand you, even if you're afraid of using the immortal energy to break the formation too ostentatiously, can't you use that small spade of yours? Is it worth wasting your energy on these small formations?"

  Xiao Yao was originally listening with a somewhat distracted mind, but when it mentioned the small flat shovel, she couldn't help but perk up.

  Right! How could she have forgotten about the ghost?
