Chapter 588: Chapter 252: Great Demon

Pangolins are also called ’Ling Carp’.

Mu Changge was stunned for a moment, but he seemed to react instantly, a look of shock on his face. "Senior Brother, are you saying... these demons... are starting to learn how to hide?!"

Qin Fang nodded gently at his words.

Mu Changge immediately sucked in a sharp breath. He frowned deeply and muttered, "This is going to be trouble... Jinlan Prefecture’s terrain is complex, full of mountains and steep ridges. If these demons learn to hide..."

Clearly, he had realized the gravity of the situation.

After a moment of silence, Qin Fang said, "Of course, this is just my speculation. Whether it’s actually true... is hard to say."

Mu Changge’s brow furrowed. After a moment, he shook his head. "I suspect Senior Brother’s judgment is correct. These demons aren’t stupid; many are Extraordinary or higher, with intelligence not much inferior to our own. When they first emerged from the Grotto Heaven World, they probably didn’t know we’d be hunting them, so they acted recklessly. But as more of them are killed, they must have caught on. And now, they’ve started to hide..."

This matched Qin Fang’s own assessment, and he nodded.

Mu Changge’s brow tightened. "I must report this to the Sect Elders as soon as possible..."

Qin Fang nodded. He had the same thought, but this was Jinlan Prefecture, after all. As a disciple of the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect, it wasn’t his place to overstep. Since Mu Changge had this idea, he naturally supported it.

Looking at the Carp Demon corpses on the ground, Mu Changge suddenly said, "Senior Brother, where did these three Carp Demons crawl out from? Let’s go check if there are any other demons hiding there."

Their thoughts aligned again; Qin Fang had also been planning to take a look.

He immediately nodded and said, "This way."

He flew into the air, and Mu Changge quickly followed.

The flash of light had not been far. The two of them quickly arrived and saw a deep, dark mountain cave under the moonlight.

After a look, Mu Changge suddenly said, "This cave looks deep, and the situation is unknown... Senior Brother, please stand guard for me. I’ll go in and scout things out."

Qin Fang was taken aback. He hadn’t expected this Mu Changge, whom he had just met, to actually volunteer for the dangerous part.

Seeing Qin Fang’s surprised gaze, Mu Changge smiled. "This is the Jinlan Realm, after all. Slaying these demons is the duty of my sect’s disciples. It is already a rare kindness for you to come and help, Senior Brother. But since I am here now, there’s no reason to let you walk into danger... Please stand guard for me. I’ll be right back."

Without waiting for Qin Fang’s reply, Mu Changge moved, transforming into a streak of Gang Light and shooting into the cave.

Qin Fang opened his mouth to speak, but seeing that the other man had already gone in, he said nothing more.

But his gaze flickered.

’...From the moment he appeared until now, this Mu Changge has perfectly displayed the bearing and magnanimity expected of a major sect’s True Inheritance disciple, even showing a heart-wrenching compassion for the world.’

’...He’s far superior to that Zhao Yuanling.’

’But... he’s been to the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect before...’

Qin Fang’s eyes glinted.

’...His senses were extremely sharp. When the other man used his True Gang just now, he could feel the dense Profound Nether Nature within it.’

’Moreover, the man’s Cultivation was likely not low; Qin Fang couldn’t see through it at all, only that he was at least above the Divine Illumination Realm.’

’Such high Cultivation, the Profound Nether Nature, and he’s even been to the Heavenly Gang Wuji Sect.’

’We met for the first time today, and he’s acting so enthusiastically...’

’...Thinking of his judgment from that other day.’

Qin Fang narrowed his eyes slightly.

’...A coincidence?’

His eyes flickered slightly.

But he didn’t jump to any conclusions.

’...I’ll wait and see.’

Qin Fang was not the type to trust someone easily.

Just as he was thinking this, a dense aura of True Gang suddenly erupted from the cave.

The next moment, Mu Changge’s sharp cry came from within.

"Senior Brother, run! There’s a True Blood Realm Great Demon in the cave!!!"

Qin Fang was shocked. The next instant, he saw a streak of light shoot out from the cave. Before he could react, his arm was grabbed, and he was instantly pulled skyward.

It was Mu Changge who had grabbed him and was now flying away, pulling him along.

Immediately after, terrifying Demon Essence surged from the cave. Almost at the exact moment the two flew up, there was a deafening BOOM, and a massive Carp Demon burst out of the mountain!

This Carp Demon was likely over twenty meters long. Its body was covered in Silver Armor, but with hints of gold. Its eyes were crimson, and its Demon Essence surged to the heavens. Spotting the two men, it instantly transformed into a blur of interwoven gold and silver light and gave chase!

’...It can fly!’

Judging by its aura, it was without a doubt a True Blood Realm Great Demon!

Qin Fang also came to his senses. He quickly circulated his True Gang, broke free from Mu Changge’s grasp, and flew under his own power alongside him.

"Damn it! It’s actually a True Blood Realm Great Demon!"

Mu Changge grit his teeth.

Qin Fang looked down, his expression changing again. In a low voice, he said, "It’s catching up."

Mu Changge glanced down and saw the True Blood Realm Great Demon moving at an incredible speed, rapidly closing the distance. Its eyes were filled with killing intent and greed, as if it wanted to pick one of them to devour!

Gritting his teeth, Mu Changge made a snap decision. "I’ll hold it off for a while! This demon is probably not a weak one even among the True Blood Realm. Senior Brother, you go to the nearest Sanshi County Government Office! My sect has a Fifth Realm Elder there. Ask him to come and slay the demon!"

Qin Fang’s heart skipped a beat. "Senior Brother Mu, you..."

"I’m also in the Fifth Realm, though I only broke through recently. But holding it off for a little while won’t be a problem. Senior Brother, go quickly!"

After speaking, Mu Changge gave Qin Fang a push, then abruptly turned back. The longsword at his waist was suddenly unsheathed.

"Vile creature, die!"

With a backhand strike, he sent a Sword Aura tearing through the air, shooting straight for the pursuing True Blood Realm Carp Demon!
