The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 364 Abnormality
Ding Lin remained silent.

After a long while, he finally leaped up. As he comprehended the creation and destruction of the Five Elements, he became increasingly adept at wielding the Five Elements Great Escape technique. In just an instant, he disappeared without a trace.

……

Xiniu Hezhou, Jilei Mountain, Moyun Cave.

Inner room.

In Princess Jade Face's boudoir, the curtain of the folding chair was lifted, and Princess Iron Fan and Princess Jade Face sat arm in arm, talking.

After parting ways with Ding Lin at Wuzhi Mountain, the two demons returned to Xiniu Hezhou. Princess Iron Fan went back to Banana Cave to see Red Boy first.

Because of past grievances, Princess Jade Face had not entered the Banana Cave with them. Her prejudice was deep-seated, and getting Red Boy to accept her suddenly improved relationship with Princess Iron Fan wouldn't be a quick fix; it would have to be gradual. Following their prior agreement, she landed on a cloud at a distance to wait. After Princess Iron Fan and Red Boy's brief reunion, they left the Banana Cave and went with Princess Jade Face to the Cloud-Piercing Cave.

Mount Jilei is still controlled by the former subordinates of the Bull Demon King. Although Princess Jade Face is now a Golden Immortal, there are still formations set up by the Bull Demon King on the mountain. It would be safer for Princess Iron Fan to take action.

The result was, of course, predictable.

With all the monsters gone, Mount Jilei returned to Princess Jade Face without any effort.

"Thank you very much, sister. If I were to do it myself, it's uncertain whether I could reclaim this ancestral property. Even if I could, it would take a lot of effort," said Princess Jade Face.

"Why are you and I, sisters, talking about these things?" Princess Iron Fan said.

“Sister is right, I’ve been too distant.” Princess Jade Face smiled, turned her head, her gaze seemingly piercing through the stone wall as she looked into the distance, yet also seemed somewhat worried, “The Venerable One went to pursue those two great gods, I wonder how he is now.”

"Rest assured, Venerable One has now comprehended the Five Elements, which is a true top-level law. Although the Southern Dipper Star Lord and the Northern Dipper Star Lord also possess this ability, they need to join forces to unleash it. Even if they reach this level and their minds are in sync, their combined attack is ultimately not the same person. Didn't you see that Venerable One is in the upper hand?" Princess Iron Fan said.

Despite saying this, a trace of melancholy flashed in her eyes. She was not as relaxed as she appeared. Unexpectedly, the scene of her spiritual connection with Ding Lin flashed through her mind again. She had experienced the betrayal of the Bull Demon King and was resilient by nature. Naturally, she would not be confused by love like ordinary women. But she was still a woman after all. Cultivation was not about severing emotions and love. On the contrary, it was about following one's heart. After this closeness, she naturally treated Ding Lin differently.

"That's how it is." Princess Jade Face nodded, then changed the subject, "By the way, sister, you broke through to the Taiyi realm after spending some time with the Venerable One. Does the Venerable One truly possess methods to help people break through realms?"

Princess Iron Fan, holding a teacup, had just taken a sip of fragrant tea when she heard this. Her movements and expression faltered, and she put the teacup down as if to cover it up, then raised her hand to smooth her hair at her temples.

“You have only just become a Golden Immortal. Cultivation requires a gradual approach and the worst thing is to be overly ambitious. When you are about to reach the Taiyi Realm in the future, he will naturally help you. But I can’t say anything now, so as not to disturb your peace of mind. Also…” Princess Iron Fan’s voice suddenly stopped. She turned around sharply and looked outside the beaded curtain.

"elder sister……"

Princess Jade Face noticed Princess Iron Fan's unusual expression and realized something was wrong. She followed Princess Iron Fan's gaze and saw a shadow appear a dozen feet away, separated only by a beaded curtain.

Under the candlelight, the shadow swayed, and what terrified Princess Jade Face the most were the two pointed horns on its head.

"To think you could sense it... indeed, one should look at someone with new eyes after three days' absence." A familiar voice rang out, and a shadow flickered as a burly figure emerged from the corner—it was indeed the Bull Demon King. Danger!

Princess Iron Fan tensed up instantly. Having been married to him for many years, she naturally knew the Bull Demon King's true strength. Although his Law of Power was extraordinary, even top-tier, the Bull Demon King had not fully comprehended it. Originally, after she advanced to the Taiyi realm, even if she couldn't defeat the Bull Demon King, it would have been easy for her to escape unscathed, let alone the Bull Demon King, who was still recovering from his injuries. But what she saw this time was that the Bull Demon King no longer possessed any strength. His aura was at its peak, aggressive and domineering, giving her a feeling similar to Ding Lin, who was born from the Five Elements.

"You..." Princess Iron Fan's voice was hoarse.

"That's right, I understand now. Not only have my injuries been fully healed, but I've also pushed the Law of Power to its peak." The Bull Demon King grinned, revealing two rows of millstone-like teeth. He gave what he thought was a gentle smile to Princess Iron Fan. "Madam, it was my fault before. My cultivation was insufficient, which caused you to be in danger repeatedly. It will never happen again. Don't worry. As for what you just said about being in the same room with that evil dragon, I won't look down on you. I know you had no choice but to pretend to be polite, otherwise how could you have escaped?"

The Bull Demon King's scarlet eyes suddenly swept over Princess Jade Face, who instantly felt as if she were facing an abyss.

Princess Iron Fan's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

"You think I'm feeling guilty?"

Princess Iron Fan said, she got up and walked in front of Princess Jade Face to block the Bull Demon King's aura for the latter. She could see that the Bull Demon King seemed to be in a bad state.

"Don't worry, Madam. I have now comprehended the power of strength and am about to achieve my goal. That evil dragon is no match for me. As long as I kill him, this matter will be over and no one will know about it anymore."

"I want to tear him apart and skin him alive to vent my anger!"

The Bull Demon King gritted his teeth.

"Yes, I feel guilty..."

Princess Iron Fan said softly. She reached behind her and quietly grabbed Princess Jade Face's hand. Her demonic energy surged violently in an instant.

A beam of light shot up.

Princess Iron Fan had no interest in knowing why the Bull Demon King had become like this, nor was she willing to play along with him. Once she found an opportunity, she didn't hesitate to try and escape.

When Princess Iron Fan grabbed her arm, Princess Jade Face had already anticipated it. Sure enough, the scene changed the next moment. The speed of the Taiyi Realm cultivator was too fast, and she didn't know where she was. When she looked closely, she was stunned. What she saw was extremely familiar. This was clearly outside Jilei Mountain.

What followed was an overwhelming sense of majesty.

"Madam, why did you run away!" The Bull Demon King's voice rang out again, a persistent, lingering presence, calm yet devoid of any warmth. "Why are you hiding from me? Are you still resentful towards me?"

“I…” Princess Iron Fan’s eyes were filled with deep fear. She had just moved and hadn’t even had time to fully unleash her escape light when she was stopped by the Bull Demon King. His teleportation was incredibly fast. Seeing that she couldn’t escape, she decided to endure her disgust and continue to deal with the Bull Demon King. This was a last resort.

Fortunately, although the Bull Demon King has made great progress in his cultivation, he doesn't seem clever at all, so he should be able to cover it up.
