The Immortal Path of the White-Haired Maiden Volume 1 Chapter 99: Deep into the Island

  As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yao suddenly felt the atmosphere around her condense. She also knew that she had exaggerated a lot, but since they were all going to lie, she might as well make it even more exaggerated. After all, she really couldn't transform into a demon form, so there was no need to worry about being exposed in the future.

  After a moment of silence, Huang Mao's male demon had not spoken yet, but Hou Lao Er and Xiong Lao San burst out laughing in a very impolite manner.

  Xiong Lao San laughed and said: "Haha! This woman is really interesting, I've only heard of demon cultivators who can't change their human form, but this is the first time I've heard of one who can't recover their demon form! I'm saying, little girl, you wouldn't think that just because my four brothers and I look rough and unrefined, we're easy to bully, would you?"

  Indeed, the demoness transformed back to her original form as if it were second nature. The four demons did not believe her. The yellow-haired male demon thought she was intentionally hiding something, and a murderous glint appeared in his eyes. He slapped her hard with his palm, "You dare to deceive us! You're really asking for death! Tell the truth quickly!"

  Xiao Yao's body didn't move at all, and there was no fear in her eyes. She spoke extremely quickly: "If I really wanted to lie, wouldn't it be better to make up a more reasonable one? Why say something that people can see through at a glance?! If you gentlemen don't believe me, if one day you see me reveal my true form, you can directly kill me! I won't have any complaints!"

  Just as that coarse big hand was about to slap onto Xiao Yao's face, it stopped at her nose tip instead. The yellow-haired man let out a cold laugh and withdrew his palm. "Hmph, you're quite bold. Fine! Let me see how long you can hide! You're not welcome here, get out!"

  The yellow-haired demon no longer paid attention to her and Bai Tu, sitting on the bed closest to the door with his eyes closed in meditation.

  Seeing the four demons sitting cross-legged, Xiao Yao knew they wouldn't bother her again. She didn't have a masochistic tendency to continue staying in this smelly room either. So she said to Bai Tu Dao, who was still paralyzed and unable to get up from the dirty floor: "Bai Tu Dao, let's go."

  Xiao Yao's words were undoubtedly music to Bai Tu's ears. He had long wanted to escape from this place, but the four demons' aura was too intimidating, and he didn't even have the courage to stand up, let alone speak of leaving.

  "Alright... let's go," he said with a trembling voice, nodding repeatedly as he hastily stood up and ran towards the outside of the house, his legs shaking as he went out, and was even tripped by the door frame before leaving.

  Xiao Yao shook her head helplessly and followed him out of the thatched cottage.

  Seeing that the four demons did not follow, Bai Tu finally let out a sigh of relief, put down his heart, and with a face still palpitating, said to Xiao Yao: "Chong Rou Dao friend, these four demons are really too dangerous, let's return to Piao Miao Palace."

  Xiao Yao didn't look at him, but instead glanced around and found a few stone stools not far from the thatched hut. She walked over and sat down cross-legged, saying: "Fellow Taoist, you can go back on your own. Since I've been assigned to the Vanguard Camp, I'm a member of the Vanguard Camp. It's not suitable for me to go back."

  Bai Tu was shocked and puzzled, saying: "But they don't accept you, look at how they drove you out. And such a terrifying person, staying here is unpredictable, one day they might get angry and kill you with just one hand. In my opinion, it's better to dress up and go apologize to the leader, ask for mercy, and let the leader transfer you back to Piao Yu Palace."

  Let her go ask that neither male nor female freak? She would rather stay in this smelly thatched cottage. Xiao Yao also didn't bother to waste words with him, only saying: "Since it's the leader's order, as long as they are still members of the Zan Purple Yan Hong Gang, there is no reason not to obey. Although their attitude is bad, they don't dare do anything extreme either. My mind is made up, Ba Tu Dao friend doesn't need to persuade me anymore."

  Seeing her resolute attitude, it was clear that she really intended to stay here. Bai Tu let out a disappointed sigh and finally bid her farewell before returning alone to the Piao Miao Palace.

  The four demons who had just driven Xiao Yao out were also not idle in the thatched hut, and were whispering to each other.

  "Big brother, it seems that girl hasn't left yet." The one speaking was Hou Lao Er, bright outside but dark inside. From his angle, he could see Xiao Yao sitting upright on the stone stool.

  The yellow-haired demon's eyes narrowed into a thin slit, "Whatever, she can stay wherever she wants, even if she follows us, it doesn't matter."

  "But we still have work to do tomorrow, is it really okay to let her follow us like this?" Xiong Lao San raised a question: "What if she discovers our secret?"

  At this time, the gloomy man in the corner who had been silent suddenly revealed a murderous intention, his whole body gathering evil energy, and lightly spat out: "Kill!"

  The yellow-haired demon glanced at her and said, "After all, it's the order of our leader, and we can't make it too obvious on the surface. She's just a newcomer, as long as she dares to follow us into the depths of the island tomorrow, there's no need for us to take action, I'm afraid she'll be killed by the island's restrictions or the void beasts first."

  However, Hou Lao'er was still uneasy: "This woman is hiding her true form. If she's not too weak, then there's something unusual about her. What if she has an extraordinary talent or divine power that allows her to come back alive?"

  The yellow-haired demon's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty glow, "Then it depends on whether she knows how to behave herself. If she can be of use to us, we'll let her live; otherwise, as the fourth brother said, we'll get rid of her in the depths of the island!"

  Four demons, relying on the island's divine consciousness being useless, were discussing Xiao Yao's life and death in the house without any scruples. Who would have thought that Xiao Yao had practiced the "Micro Heart Method", with extremely keen hearing, and heard every word of their conversation clearly. So she supported her chin and pondered: Don't look at the four demons' ugly faces, but they are not brainless people. On the surface, they seem to be targeting her, but in reality, they are actually on guard against that Kong Bangzhu, who knows what unspeakable secrets they have, so they are wary of outsiders intervening in the vanguard camp.

  Wait and listen carefully, the thatched hut was already silent, Xiao Yao also knew that she had just arrived and there were many things that were not yet clear, especially when the other party's cultivation was unknown. Even if she knew that the other party had sinister intentions towards her life, she could only pretend to be unaware, be cautious and defensive, and avoid direct confrontation. Moreover, from the four demons' words, it was not difficult to hear that the depths of this nameless island were extremely dangerous, and for a newcomer like her who entered recklessly, death could come at any time. Now, the first hurdle in front of her was not how to fight with them, but how to survive on this crisis-ridden island!

  Xiao Yao sat on the stone pedestal, lost in thought, for a whole night. As soon as the sky was slightly bright, he saw the four demons walking out of the thatched cottage one after another. They seemed to have not seen Xiao Yao at all, and they turned into four rainbow lights flying westward.

  Xiao Yao saw it, thought for a moment, and then conjured up the Thunder Wings behind her. With a flash of her wings, she also followed closely.

  She made a slight movement, and the four people flying in front also noticed her action. Hou Lao'er smiled slyly and said in a low voice, "Hey, big brother's woman really followed up."

  The blond-haired demon seemed to have expected this and said calmly, "Whatever, we'll just carry on as usual."

  Flying high up, Xiao Yao only realized that this unnamed city was actually small, but it occupied thousands of miles. From the air, it looked like a circular disc, and except for the unnamed city, all other places outside the city were shrouded in a layer of gray mist. It was strange to say that when looking up from below, the sky was a vast blue, without even a cloud in sight. But somehow, when looking down from above, there was a layer of gray fog in between, and with her divine sense useless, everything was blurry and unclear, like an endless island, gray and hazy, making it impossible to see any hope.

  She followed the four monsters as they flew deeper into the island, and felt an increasingly heavy pressure on her body, making it hard to breathe. Just as she was busy coping with the pressure, the four figures in front of her suddenly dived down and disappeared into the hazy mist.

  Xiao Yao couldn't catch her breath, and hastily followed them down, but she had barely descended a thousand meters when a huge mouth suddenly burst out of the clouds, its jaws covered in sharp teeth, biting down towards her.

  She hastily changed her position, and the lightning wings flashed, retreating over a thousand meters in an instant! It was also at this time that she saw the creature attacking her was a hundred-meter-long, eel-like flying beast with pale gray scales all over its body!

  Instinctively, Xiao Yao summoned the Charms and struck the air beast's head with force. In an instant, the air beast let out a sharp screech, apparently having been hit by the Charm. It rolled over in mid-air several times before disappearing into the gray mist below.

  Even so, Xiao Yao didn't dare to relax her vigilance in the slightest, and with her keen senses, she hadn't noticed that there was a hidden beast below, nor did she know if the other party had really left.

  She waited for a good three quarters of an hour, but the eel-like air beast did not reappear. She then cautiously descended again to the place where she had just encountered danger, and found that there was nothing there. Not until she landed on the ground did she fail to see the air beast appear.

  Her feet touching the ground did not make Xiao Yao feel any safer, on the contrary, she quickly scanned her surroundings and found herself standing in a dense forest, with the blue sky visible through the dense foliage above her head, as if the gray fog had never appeared. The forest was eerily quiet, without even the sound of birds chirping or beasts roaring, which made her feel even more uneasy.

  Those four monsters had long since disappeared, and she was clearly shaken off by them. Now in front of her there were only two roads, either to return the original road or to venture alone in this forest.

  In Xiao Yao's view, since they had come all this way, going back would be meaningless. Moreover, no one could guarantee that they wouldn't encounter danger again. They might as well take the opportunity to explore this strange island.

  This place was desolate and uninhabited, so Xiao Yao summoned the leopard from her dantian. Except for when she first arrived and didn't understand the situation, allowing the leopard to expose itself for a while, afterwards she kept it hidden in her dantian, not daring to let it out easily. After all, this was the territory of demonic cultivators, and spirit beasts or spirit pets would only reveal their master's identity as a demonic cultivator.

  As soon as Jian Chi Bao came out, the first thing he did was to glare at Xiao Yao with a blaming tone and said: "Finally remembered about me?"

  Xiao Yao ignored his dissatisfaction and simply said, "This is a demon cultivator's territory, it's not very convenient to let you out. Now we are on the Unnamed Island, this island has some peculiarities, can you see through its secrets."

  The leopard swung its tail, looking around slowly and carefully. The leopard's face was scrunched up, seemingly talking to itself or perhaps to Xiao Yao: "Strange, this place seems familiar... I feel like I've been here before..."

  Xiao Yao listened, and her face involuntarily lit up with joy. Just as she was about to ask questions, a sudden clap of thunder boomed in the sky above, and before she could blink, heavy rain poured down from the heavens.
