Immortal Fairies Always Have Designs on Me-Chapter 159 - 108: What is the Qingqiu Fox Clan Up To? _3

But against the Human Clan, they seldom revert to their true forms easily.

Although reverting to their true forms allows them to fully unleash their strength, for the Human Clan, their bodies in this state are simply too large.

The larger the body, the harder it is to evade magical attacks; even droplets can penetrate stone, not to mention magic of even greater power.

Thus, as the Human Clan gradually rose, the shapeshifted forms of the Demon Clan began to align more with humans, continuing to suppress the Human Clan in this way.

Lu Jin’an watched the fierce battle, where demon beasts filled the sky with demon energy and dust, and muttered to himself: "The Demon Clan is born with powerful physical bodies, appearing all brawn and no brain, but they do use their wits; otherwise, they would not resort to shapeshifting to deal with different enemies."

After observing for a while, he clicked his tongue; the Corpse Peng, relying solely on its battle instincts, was still struggling against two Demon Monarchs of a lower bloodline, although with the formidable physique that the Golden Winged Roc Clan doesn’t lose much to the Dragon and Phoenix, it made it difficult for the two large brown bears to break its defense.

Observing for a little longer and realizing that the Corpse Peng couldn’t gain more experience in battle, Lu Jin’an swiftly dashed forward, drawing the Netherworld Validation with his right hand, and his Domain expanded.

Only a simple and plain horizontal slash, the Sword Qi of the ’Broken Realm Realm’ effortlessly severed a Demon Monarch and a Demon King’s heads.

Sheathing his sword, Lu Jin’an extracted the Yin Ming Qi, and looking at the two massive corpses, after some thought, he had the Corpse Peng consume these two Bear Demons.

First it was the Corpse Dragon, then the Corpse Peng, and considering that his Yinming Space couldn’t hold too many Corpse Demons, Lu Jin’an wasn’t very impressed by the bloodline of these two bears.

Watching the Corpse Peng swiftly devour the two Bear Demons, bit by bit, Lu Jin’an checked the yin energy within the Corpse Peng... it had increased somewhat.

Just as the Human Clan’s saying goes, "you are what you eat," this holds true for the Demon Clan as well.

The principle of the food chain is based on this... even more so for the demon beasts.

Flesh and demon energy are highly nourishing substances.

Lu Jin’an also let the Corpse Peng absorb the Yin Ming Qi from the two Bear Demons, and then continued on the path of ’waiting patiently’.

After crossing into the northern territories of Grotto Heaven, they no longer spotted traces of the Demon Clan.

Lu Jin’an, having thoroughly integrated the Sword Qi of the ’Broken Realm Realm’ into his Domain, turned to look at the pitch-black Corpse Peng, which had retracted its wings and shrunk in size, now squatting before him, deep in thought.

He had clearly noticed that the Corpse Peng’s battle strategy had become smoother in the last battle.

This means that absorbing the Yin Ming Qi could actually make the Corpse Peng smarter.

"That’s good."

Lu Jin’an chuckled softly. He knew that the reason they hadn’t encountered any demons might be because the Demon Clan had somehow communicated the ’waiting patiently’ tactic amongst themselves, so he planned to take the initiative.

Such a great opportunity to make the puppet smarter should not be missed.

Lu Jin’an patted the Corpse Peng’s head: "Though you’re a bit dull now, your vision, hearing, and sense of smell are still working. Go find other demon beasts."

The Corpse Peng shot into the sky, just about to enlarge its form, when Lu Jin’an quickly said: "Keep it this size."

The Corpse Peng paused mid-flight, glanced back at Lu Jin’an, and obediently flew off into the distance.

"Hmm... it indeed shows some reaction now."

Lost in thought, Lu Jin’an followed along, pondering how the soul, after the ’purification’ of Yin Ming Qi, seemed to experience a rebirth-like growth.

Is this inherent, or is there another explanation?

Lu Jin’an decided to go to the Netherworld and consult with Emperor Fengdu when he had the time.

"Holy Daughter."

Somewhere in the northwest of the Grotto Heaven, the dusty and lightly injured Zhou Lan led three junior sisters to greet Zhu Nanzhi they encountered by chance, with a salute.

Flying along the path, Zhu Nanzhi suppressed the thought in her mind about whether the Master was having an infatuation with her husband, and softly asked: "Have you encountered anyone else?"

"No." Zhou Lan shook her head: "Though previously, four of us ran into five Demon Monarchs, and as we were retreating while fighting back, they suddenly retreated despite their advantageous position."

"Holy Daughter," one of the junior sisters added: "At that moment, I faintly heard the sound of an eagle cry from a far distance."

Zhu Nanzhi turned her head to look at Mu Qingyue: "Could it be that black-robed Demon Monarch?"

Mu Qingyue gave a gentle "Hmm," her gaze fixed on the distant snow-capped mountains.

If the Heart-Clearing Four-Leaf Fruit truly exists within this Grotto Heaven, it’s most likely nestled within those snow mountains.

For the Heart-Clearing Four-Leaf Fruit, which balances the two Yang Energy Dao Palaces, only exists in places of deep cold nature.

"They probably want to gather for an ambush," Zhou Lan suggested: "After all, they have more numbers entering the Grotto Heaven than we do."

Zhu Nanzhi pondered: "If both sides gather for a full-scale battle, we’d definitely be at a disadvantage..."

She turned to look at Mu Qingyue: "But it’s strange; the two of us haven’t traveled far, yet we haven’t encountered a single demon beast. Should we call it good luck, or bad?"

"Same for us." A junior sister from Qingmiao Palace added: "Initially, we encountered no demon beasts for a long time, and suddenly, we ran into five already grouped Demon Monarchs.

But along the way, we met other sect disciples, as well as some from the Barbarian Clan and Shi Clan."

Mu Qingyue ’looked’ at Zhou Lan and her group: "The Demon Clan might have initially had some sort of intention... Mist River Cave Heaven was their discovery first."

Zhu Nanzhi immediately decided: "You go and join the others, but avoid direct conflict with the Demon Clan, just head north."

Zhou Lan made a gesture of salutation: "Understood."

Once Zhou Lan and her three companions left, Zhu Nanzhi said: "Let’s hurry up, shall we?"

Mu Qingyue gave a soft "Hmm," and the two of them rushed towards the snow mountains.
