Chapter 1012: Chapter 1012

Ximen Chuan’s eyes widened, his heart stirring with a torrent of thoughts: "Are you saying that the demoness is from the Dragon Clan?!"

According to ancient texts, the Dragon Clan was a treasure trove of power!

Has he... struck it rich again?!

He had made the right choice! From now on, he must stay close to Nanli!

Siheng’s heart skipped a beat.

There’s a Dragon Clan in the Human World?

If the Dragon Clan knows the whereabouts of the Demonizing Dragon Lantern, then that would be a blessing in disguise for him!

The others present had only heard of the Dragon Clan but had never seen one. They were all overwhelmed with excitement, discussing the true nature of the Dragon Clan.

Bai Hao and his nephew were both desperate. They rushed forward to ask, "Nanli Divine Sovereign, from what you’re saying, does that mean there’s no way to break this Dragon Horn barrier?"

"Just call me Nanli." Nanli corrected them.

She didn’t rush to answer. Instead, she took a few steps forward, testing the barrier with her own power.

The spiritual force bounced back, causing her to take a few steps back.

Siheng’s brow furrowed with concern. He quickly moved to steady her waist and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"

Nanli gently shook her head. "This is the authentic Azure Dragon Dragon Horn. That’s why it has such power."

Siheng whispered, "If we had the Sky-Slaying Axe, we might be able to..."

He was once again eyeing the Sky-Slaying Axe.

Nanli’s expression darkened.

Siheng noticed her change and quickly altered his words, "I understand. We can’t act rashly."

Nanli’s expression softened. She said, "Although the Azure Dragon Dragon Horn is tough, it’s not ancient, so its power is ordinary. With your Sky-Tearing Sword, you should be able to split it."

Siheng understood. "So this demoness is actually a little Azure Dragon?"

"Maybe," Nanli replied. "But the Dragon Horn can be removed and then used. We can’t be sure. If you don’t find the little Azure Dragon later, don’t be too disappointed."

Still, it was a glimmer of hope. He nodded, "Understood."

While the Dragon Horn was solid, it surely had weak points. The couple would need to look around and find the thinnest area to strike.

Before this could happen,

Under the Spring Lake.

Bai Xiangyu’s group knew the demoness was hiding at the lake’s bottom. They immediately used Aqua Talisman to go underwater and catch her.

They had been on many missions before and thought this would be an easy capture. However, the demoness wore clothes impervious to blades and could resist all spiritual attacks.

Despite their combined effort and Bai Family’s sword formation, they couldn’t harm her in the slightest.

The demoness waved her hand, knocking them all down and breaking the effect of the Aqua Talisman.

The water surged over them, and they struggled to breathe, sinking.

The entrance to the lake cave was right above them.

Bai Xiangyu tried to pull his second sister to the surface, but the demoness controlled the water. The lake’s water bound their limbs, dragging them back to the lake’s bottom.

They felt their chests about to burst, and everything went dark. Before losing consciousness, Bai Xiangyu thought to himself that as the heir to the Bai Family, he had met his end here. This was a huge disgrace.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but Bai Xiangyu woke up.

However, he didn’t wake up naturally—he was kicked awake.

His thighs were sore, and his nose and chest still ached from the water.

Turning his head, he was furious. "Who kicked me?!"

"It was me!" a familiar voice called out.

In the dim cave, Bai Xiangyu blinked, adjusting to the light.

"Fifth sister?" He moved a bit, realizing he was tied up with tough water weeds, hanging on the wall. The only part of his body that could move was his feet.

It wasn’t just him. His second sister, fourth sister, and other Bai family members were all suspended in the same manner.

He asked, "How did your team get captured too? Fifth sister, your cultivation is higher than mine."

Bai Xiuyou smiled coldly, looking at him with icy eyes. "Big brother, seems like you were defeated in the water. At least I made it into this cave and exchanged a few moves with her."

Bai Xiangyu was speechless.

Even though the opponent was his sister, he wasn’t about to hold back. "So what? Aren’t we both in the same situation now?"

"This is different. I’ve figured out her strength!" Bai Xiuyou countered. "Her demonic power is at least at the Great Achievement stage, and she has treasures too. It’s impossible for us to defeat her."

Bai Xiangyu was stunned.

That demoness was that powerful?

The other Bai family members had not yet regained consciousness, and the demoness had disappeared.

Since they couldn’t fight, it was better to leave!

He tried to activate his Dantian and break free from the water weeds.

But as soon as he used his spiritual power, the water weeds tightened their grip even more, choking him.

Bai Xiuyou, hearing his muffled groan, quickly said, "Big brother, don’t you recognize this Spirit-Absorbing Water Weed? If you use spiritual power, they will only tighten more."

Bai Xiangyu no longer dared to use his spiritual power. After a while, when the water weeds stopped absorbing his spiritual energy, they slowly loosened up.

He was furious. "Why didn’t you say that earlier!"

"I thought you knew," Bai Xiuyou gave him a blank look. "After this, you should read more books."

Bai Xiangyu, now red-faced with anger, replied, "If you’re so powerful, have you thought of a way to get out of here?"

Bai Xiuyou smirked, leisurely kicking her legs as if on a swing. "Of course."

"Wait for someone to save us." Bai Xiuyou said very honestly.

"...." Bai Xiangyu’s mouth twitched.

Then, from the water tunnel of the cave, a wild laugh echoed.

It was the demoness returning.

She wore a gorgeous brocade dress that still shimmered faintly, even in this dark cave, with spiritual energy swirling around her.

Her appearance wasn’t striking, but her figure was graceful.

However, when she walked, she swayed in an odd way, giving off a strange impression.

She glanced at everyone, her long hair twirling around her fingers. With a smug expression, she said, "Waiting for someone to save you? You should check the place you’re in. Do you really think people with such weak spiritual energy as you can come in here?"

Bai Xiangyu immediately adopted a threatening tone, "We are from the Bai family. The Bai family is one of the four great families of Jiuzhou Town! How dare you, a mere demoness, oppose us? Do you have a death wish?!"

The demoness laughed wildly.

After finishing her laugh, she glared at Bai Xiangyu, mocking him mercilessly. "Such big words. When I was cultivating here, I never heard of any Bai family."

Bai Xiuyou’s mind raced. She said, "Sister Demoness, since you’ve cultivated for so long and finally reached human form, you shouldn’t harm others and risk losing your cultivation. Don’t you fear being reduced to your original form?"

Upon closer inspection, Bai Xiuyou noticed that the demoness’s clothes seemed to be made of Dragon Scales.

Ordinary Dragon Scales were already incredibly tough, and these shimmering Dragon Scales were even more impressive. They could even withstand heavenly punishment!

No wonder they couldn’t defeat her. She was from the Dragon Clan!

The demoness glanced at her legs and said, "You’re right. It’s not easy for me to reach human form. Since you’re all here now, I’ll make full use of you."
