Chapter 190 The Three Demons of the Withered Bones
As the sun sets and crows fly by, the mountains gradually shed the daytime heat and hustle and bustle, welcoming the coolness of dusk.

A small group of people gathered at the foot of the Spirit Beast Mountain Range, setting up camp while chatting and laughing.

"You didn't see it, the girl that the Third Miss invited back this time is really beautiful." The dark-skinned man lit the campfire, thinking of that stunning face he had just glimpsed, and boasted to his friend.

"That's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen in my life, bar none!"

His friend nudged him, laughing and saying, "How many women have you seen? Haven't you even seen a single one yet?"

"You wouldn't believe me if I told you." The burly man smoothed the dry branches into the fire, the flames licking his face and bringing a scorching heat.

"You'll know when you see her, but she's in seclusion. You might never have the chance to meet such a fairy in your lifetime," he said, boasting smugly.

His companions' gazes towards him gradually changed.

"Behind you..."

The burly man frowned when he saw his friend's raised finger trembling: "What do you mean, 'behind me'? We scattered medicine powder to drive away wild animals around here, and this is the outer perimeter, so there's no way any spirit beasts or wild animals could come here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a chill on his neck, which startled him so much that he unleashed his spiritual fire, temporarily repelling the thing that had just been perched on his shoulder.

"A monster?" The burly man turned around and saw a black worm wriggling on the ground. The eerie and ominous aura emanating from the giant worm revealed its identity as a low-level monster.

"A familiar insect..." The burly man's face turned deathly pale as he recognized what it was.

"There must be some old demons at the Golden Core stage around here, otherwise there wouldn't be such a large demonic insect!"

Familiar insects are relatively low-level demonic creatures, roughly equivalent in strength to some Qi Refining stage cultivators, but their purpose is not to attack, but rather to scout.

These low-level monsters, when they grow to their complete form, are at the peak of the Qi Refining stage, but their vitality is terrifying, and they move very fast.

It is also one of the few Qi Refining stage demons that can move freely in an environment rich in spiritual energy.

But that's not the scariest part. The scariest part is that these things don't have high intelligence. They are usually kept by more advanced demons and used as spies.

A demon capable of raising such a large number of demonic insects must be at least a Golden Core stage demon.

The demonic insect raised its densely packed, jet-black mouth. Once those countless bright red spikes bit into a person's body, they could tear off a large chunk of flesh.

That's also the food that the demon insects love the most.

The burly man summoned his natal magical artifact, ready to send the demonic insect to its doom, but was stopped by his friend behind him: "If you kill it now, that old demon in the Golden Core stage will come looking for you immediately!"

The strongest among those who came out with Zhao Wuyan was only at the Great Perfection of the Enlightenment Stage. If they encountered a demon at the Golden Core Stage, they wouldn't even be a match for him!

"If we don't kill this ugly thing now, it will send the message back, and even more demons will come!" The burly man Zheng Han chopped off the mouth of the demonic insect that was biting him, wiped the purplish-red liquid that the insect had splattered on his face, and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, three black-robed figures drifted over from a distance, surveyed the cultivators and servants of the Zhao family who had set up camp, and took a satisfied breath.

Then, they emerged from the somewhat tattered sleeves, revealing stark white bones. The skeletal hands clapped their hands, agreeing with Zheng Han's words: "Hehehe, you're right, but it's too late to realize it."

Zheng Han took a deep breath: "The Three Bone Demons, it's actually you." Strictly speaking, these three bone demons cannot be considered native demons. After all, the strength of the Ancestral Phoenix Continent is not enough to allow the demon realm here to get out of control and for demons to escape.

The three of them had switched from Taoist cultivation to demonic cultivation.

In pursuit of greater power, the three brothers, in a secret realm, abandoned their human bodies and obtained more powerful skeletal bodies belonging to demons.

Although the three brothers had long been targeted by various forces, their cunning and strength failed to attract much attention, allowing them to escape danger time and time again and survive to this day.

"Hehehe, after eating these people, our cultivation should be able to advance further, and we can try to see if we can reach the cultivation level of a demon comparable to the Fusion stage." The skeleton on the left among the three skeletons let out an excited laugh.

"It's been so long since I've smelled such a fresh human scent." The leader of the three skeleton demons was the first to make a move.

However, its direction was not towards any human, but towards the tent that these monks were protecting!
"Quickly, protect the young master!" Zheng Han realized that the appearance of these three old devils might not be accidental, but rather that they were specifically targeting Zhao Wuyan, and he shouted immediately.

However, the cultivators in the Enlightenment stage guarding the door were already trembling with fear just from resisting the demonic might of the Golden Core stage old demon, so where would they find the courage to do so?
"Hehehe, Young Master Zhao, blame yourself for not knowing what's good for you. You still have some good stuff on you!" The withered bone demon stretched out his withered bones and lifted the tent flap of Zhao Wuyan.

As the cold wind blew in, violent coughing sounds came from inside the tent. Zheng Han's steps toward the tent were blocked by the two withered bone demons that appeared.

"You should just get inside me—"

Before the two skeleton demons could finish speaking, they were pinned to the ground by the old skeleton demon that had been thrown out.

"Big brother?" The two skeleton demons finally managed to get up from the ground and put their broken bones back together. Before they could even ask, they heard the old skeleton demon speak in terror.

"Second brother, third brother, forget everything else, run, run!"

The voice trembled, as if it had seen something extremely terrifying inside Zhao Wuyan's tent.

Trusting their elder brother, the two brothers skillfully and without hesitation each chose a direction to escape.
"Run? If you can run away today, then I'm not Lin Zhao."

Zheng Han realized something and looked over in shock with the others. They saw their young master's tent being lifted by a delicate, fair hand, and the owner of that hand was playing with a skull that was glowing with a bluish light.

Only then did everyone realize that the old demon withered bones that had been thrown out no longer had a skull, and its voice was purely produced by spiritual energy.

Lin Zhao tossed the skull in her hand, and the Heavenly Phoenix King's aura appeared behind her, covering the entire area where the Zhao family had set up camp.

When the elixir enveloped this world, the three skeleton demons and the low-level demons they brought were all unable to move.

This is the overwhelming power of the Fusion Stage over the Golden Core Stage. The difference between the Golden Core Stage at its peak and the Fusion Stage is like heaven and earth.

"Miss Lin, please spare one of them!" Zheng Han said hastily as he watched the bodies of these demons melting away little by little in Lin Zhaodan's sight.

Lin Zhao glanced at him thoughtfully, then a flash of purple light appeared in his hand, and spiritual energy materialized into a chain, sealing the three withered bone demons within.

The other demons were directly melted into a pool of demonic energy by Lin Zhaodan's targeted heat.

Under the cleansing demonic energy seal flicked out by Lin Zhao, the three skeleton demons that had once wreaked havoc on the area, except for their underlings, left not even a trace of their own aura.

"Here, you can come out now. Exorcising demons is free, but saving you will cost extra." After Lin Zhao discovered that all the demons had been eliminated, everyone looked at her. Feeling quite troubled by dealing with these matters, she immediately turned around and called Zhao Wuyan.
