Chapter 349: The Young Lady’s Preference
Aunt Su explained slowly as the flying boat, radiating brilliant purple light, sped across the night sky.
The tremendous speed made the delicate little flying boat constantly tremble.
On the surface and deck of the flying boat, many places had already developed fine cracks.
These were damages caused by the excessively violent use of the magic artifact.
Even though he was not the owner of the flying boat, Li Muyang winced at the sight of such damages.
But upon hearing the name Cloud Mist Lake, Li Muyang found it vaguely familiar and subconsciously pulled out the sect’s booklet he carried to start searching through it.
Seeing her brother flip through the book, Li Yuechan immediately began quickly recounting the details of Cloud Mist Lake.
"Cloud Mist Lake is one of the Demon Sect’s major allies."
"There resides a group of fox demons, greedy and brutal, but with formidable strength."
"The strongest of these fox demons is said to be on the verge of reaching the Purple Mansion Realm."
Li Yuechan recited the information from the booklet hastily, explaining to her brother the details about Cloud Mist Lake.
"But what’s most special about Cloud Mist Lake is the fog that hangs over the water."
"It is said that the lake is shrouded in a strange fog that can conceal spiritual energy and block divine sense, similar to the fog of the Misty Sea, but even more terrifying."
"Because being in the fog of Cloud Mist Lake will corrode the soul. Prolonged exposure can even lead to the dreadful consequence of a cultivator’s realm degradation."
"Years ago, when the group of fox demons took over the place, they relied on the geographical advantage of Cloud Mist Lake to become a major scourge in the area."
"In order to ally with the fox demons, the annual tribute of blood food and spiritual objects that the Sect sends to Cloud Mist Lake is among the best when compared to other demon allies."
"Yet even so, the fox demons often venture out to hunt humans, brazenly walking the streets within the Demon Sect’s territory and preying on living beings."
Li Yuechan spoke softly, letting out a deep sigh, "The fox demons of Cloud Mist Lake are notoriously cruel and greedy among the sects."
"Even among humans, the ferocious legends of the Cloud Mist Lake fox demons are widespread."
"If we run towards Cloud Mist Lake, we might really have a chance of survival..."
Li Yuechan sighed deeply and said, "But the cost of asking the fox demons for help will be very high."
Although Li Muyang and the others were within the Demon Sect’s territory, faced with the chase led by Elder Dryleaf and many others from the Green Sheep Society, they really couldn’t find a suitable place of refuge.
After all, the force led by Elder Dryleaf was too strong.
This extraordinary flight at an extraordinary speed lasted for three whole hours.
When the Cloud Chariot Flying Boat, covered in cracks and crevices, with a long purple tail flame, plunged toward the land below, the sky and earth had already welcomed the rising sun and the fading night.
The bright sunshine rose at the edge of the world, and in the broad plains ahead, a huge and thick fog loomed like mountains.
Without the slightest hesitation, the Cloud Chariot Flying Boat charged straight into the enormous fog.
In an instant, all the cultivators aboard the flying boat felt as though they were suffocating.
This eerie fog obscured the cultivators’ senses and Divine Sense.
Inside the fog, one could even faintly feel a burning sensation in the veins of their limbs.
It was the corrosion caused by the fog to the cultivators.
The purple light on the Cloud Chariot Flying Boat slowly dissipated within the fog.
Aunt Su, seated cross-legged in the void, weary, opened her eyes and weakly collapsed onto the deck of the flying boat.
"Wait..."
Aunt Su looked around at the dense, strange fog and tiredly uttered, "The fox demons will come looking."
Li Muyang and his sister looked around vigilantly, wary of the ferocious and strange fog, which was also filled with an extremely intense demonic atmosphere.
Compared to the demon atmosphere they had felt when they encountered demons at Demon Sword City, it seemed as tame as a backyard chicken.
Li Muyang was about to speak when the fog in front suddenly began to churn.
A woman’s sinister laugh echoed from within the fog.
"Oh my my... what do we have here."
"Isn’t this the Cloud Chariot Flying Boat of the Law Enforcement Elder, Yan Xiaoru?"
"Is Elder Yan gracing our Cloud Mist Lake with her presence?"
That sinister laugh echoed within the mist, seeming to reverberate throughout the space.
Li Muyang and Li Yuechan standing stiffly on the deck, both felt their hearts jump, a chill ran down their spines.
It was as if the two tiny mortals were standing under the paw of a colossal beast as huge as a mountain...
In that moment, both siblings had the horrifying illusion of being targeted by an ancient behemoth.
