Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 308 Heart Mountain

Yun Yi noticed the commotion in the Dragon Heart Palace from a distance and thought that the two people were about to start fighting.

Who would have thought that the culprit who provoked the two to take action was someone else entirely.

Suddenly, a streak of light shot out of the Dragon Heart Palace and headed straight for Yun Yi. It was like a golden meteor, moving at an extremely fast speed. If they met, they would definitely not fare well.

Yun Yi, unaware of what was happening, quickly dodged to the side, but unexpectedly, the golden light seemed to have eyes and insisted on hitting him.

"what?!"

As he approached the golden light, Yun Yi could vaguely make out that it was a small beast. At the same time, with the beautiful figure chasing after it, he immediately realized that this was the treasure that Lan Zhenxin wanted to catch.

In the blink of an eye, the golden beast suddenly accelerated again, finally rushing into Yun Yi's arms with all its might.

Poor Yun Yi suffered a heavy blow to the chest and staggered back several feet before finally stopping. He swallowed hard, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Just as he was about to unleash a torrent of abuse on the little beast in his arms, he met its pitiful, big eyes, and all his anger vanished instantly.

The little golden beast chirped twice, and Yun Yi actually understood what it meant.

"help me!"

Yun Yi raised an eyebrow, thinking that this was a demon beast that Lan Zhenxin had taken a liking to, a real hot potato, and whether he should take on this troublesome task.

Seeing that Lan Zhenxin was about to arrive at any moment, and the battle situation was changing rapidly, Yun Yi had a flash of inspiration and immediately made a decision.

He asked, "I can't beat that wicked woman, where can I run to?"

The little golden beast raised its hand and pointed to the small mountain that Zhu Jiuyin's lungs had transformed into.

Then Yun Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Strange, why is my body out of my control!"

He mustered all his strength and rushed toward that direction at top speed, making several struggling movements along the way, as if to indicate that he didn't know what was going on.

The golden beast, quite intelligent, actually helped by emitting bursts of golden light that enveloped Yun Yi.

Lan Zhenxin saw this scene and wondered if the little beast had the power to bewitch people's minds.
Wen Daoxian, who was behind them, did not follow and had disappeared, leaving only the spider's body, which had been cut in two.

She hesitated whether to continue the chase. What if the real Bai Ze appeared somewhere else and Wen Daoxian benefited from it? That would be the most infuriating thing.

That brief moment of hesitation was enough for Yun Yi to escape to Feifu Mountain, braving the multicolored miasma and rushing straight into it.

He didn't want to do this, but the golden beast said it could dispel the poison gas and protect Yun Yi from being affected.

Since that's the case, we can only trust it this once.

Lan Zhenxin then followed to the foot of Feifu Mountain, looking at the colorful miasma with great interest. "This is actually poisonous gas accumulated from the rotting corpses of demonic beasts. Interesting."

The poisonous creatures that were praised so highly by the leader of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect were naturally extraordinary. At this moment, even the poisonous creatures controlled by Lan Zhenxin retreated one after another, not daring to come forward to make contact.

"I didn't expect such a pleasant surprise." Lan Zhenxin guessed that the mountain was formed from the lungs and internal organs, and had the function of absorbing the filth of the demon capital.

Judging from the numerous holes and caves on that hill, one can guess that the paths within are winding and must resemble a maze.

She even used her magic weapon to strike the mountain to test its hardness, and found that even cultivators at the Dao Integration Realm could hardly leave a mark on it.

This is what makes the Demon Capital so special—it's exceptionally sturdy and difficult to destroy. This applies not only to the Lung Mountain but also to the Dragon Heart Palace.

Neither Zhao Wuxiang nor Lan Zhenxin could damage the part of the dragon's body that it had transformed into.

This is also the fundamental reason why demons can stand for thousands of years without being worn away by wind and sand.

After a moment's thought, Lan Zhen took out a pocket-shaped magical artifact and decided to explore inside while inhaling the poisonous gas.

Anyway, the golden beast had already been poisoned by the scorpion's stinger, so it wouldn't be able to cause much trouble for long. As she expected, if the golden beast were an adult at this time, it would probably have been more resistant to the toxin.

But it was just a child, and even a scratch could be fatal.

As Yun Yi led it deep into the mountains, the golden beast grew weaker and weaker, and was on the verge of death.

"Hold on a little longer, I'll show you the way." Yun Yi stuffed a lot of pills into its mouth, not knowing if they would work.

The little golden beast remained listless and pointed in a general direction.

Yun Yi shook his head and quickly summoned three sword intents—Azure Lotus, Soaring Wind, and Square Circle—to accompany him as he explored deeper into the world.

Fortunately, after many twists and turns, the annoying poisonous gas finally disappeared, so even if the golden beast fell into a coma, Yun Yi would not be directly poisoned to death.

However, the situation was still not optimistic. Finding a quiet corner, Yun Yi set up a small array with three sword intents, illuminating the area at the same time.

Only then could he see the appearance of the internal organs, which were somewhat similar to those of the Dragon Heart Palace. Both were petrified internal organs, and many small demonic beasts lived inside. Yun Yi had already disturbed quite a few of them on his way here.

Being able to coexist with poisonous gas, most of the monsters here are poisonous.

This is good news. Given Lan Zhenxin's personality, she certainly won't let those monsters with an affinity for poison go unpunished.

After confirming that it was safe, Yun Yi finally had time to focus on observing the golden beast.

It was indeed small in size and didn't weigh much when held in the hand. At this moment, it was frowning and its eyes were only slightly open. It was clear that it was barely breathing.

Yunyi compared it with the Bai Ze in his memory and found that it did not match up at all, which made him even more suspicious of its identity.

Bai Ze is white, while the small beast is entirely golden; Bai Ze has a pair of antlers, while the small beast has only one antler; Bai Ze has a dragon's body and four legs, while the small beast...

Well, they're surprisingly consistent in this respect.

As Yun Yi pondered this, he took out various kinds of herbs from his Sumeru Ring, all of which were his harvest from the Flying Heaven Secret Realm.

He didn't know what kind of poison the golden beast had been poisoned with, and could only hope that it could find the antidote and cure itself.

Unfortunately, none of those precious herbs were effective; the little golden beast merely sniffed them and showed no reaction.

Just as Yun Yi was about to think of another way, a sky-blue porcelain bottle suddenly fell out of his Sumeru Ring.

He immediately recognized the porcelain bottle containing the Seven Flames Elixir, a precious gift Su Qing had given him to save his life.

Based on his experience cultivating in the Fuyou Sect, the Seven Flames Elixir is a rare and invaluable life-saving elixir.

Could it be useful to the golden beast?

Seeing that the little guy had completely closed his eyes, Yun Yi thought that he might as well try anything, even if it meant bleeding.

Moreover, he had a vague premonition that the golden beast felt especially dear to him, as if a voice from the depths of his being was urging Yun Yi to bring it back to life.

Yun Yi gritted his teeth and made up his mind, stuffing the life-saving elixir into the mouth of the golden beast.

The elixir melted upon entering the mouth, transforming into a wisp of flame that flowed into the body and visibly spread throughout the limbs and bones.

The medicine was indeed potent, directly finding the toxin in the little beast's body and immediately swarming up to burn it to ashes.

Then the flames transformed into pure spiritual energy, continuously nourishing the golden beast's body, and in the blink of an eye, its injuries were mostly healed.

"Eek." It slowly opened its eyes, its eyes filled with gratitude when it saw Yun Yi.

Ha, she's actually a crybaby.
