Throne of Seals: White Tiger's Power Lock, I am the God of War

Chapter 96 Ten members of the Demon Clan, the underwater space!
Upon seeing the Black Dragon Commander, Ling Xiao's expression changed slightly.

Feng Yao, however, was quite interested—this person was the Black Dragon Commander, one of the six commanders he had fought before, and his cultivation level was around the third level of the ninth rank.

What's even more striking is that the Black Dragon Commander was accompanied by two handsome middle-aged men with purple hair and eyes, who were not members of the Black Dragon Guard.

Following the three were the Black Dragon Guards and the Moon Demon Clan powerhouses, along with ten others dressed in orange-haired, orange-eyed attire. Though they appeared as humans, they exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

“Star Demon Clan.” Feng Yao recognized their identities at a glance.

As a great prophet of the demon race, the Star Demon God is a rare non-dual cultivator of magic and martial arts among the high-level demons, but his magical strength is extremely astonishing.

Surrounding these powerful demons were ten young demons with different hair colors, clearly belonging to different races.

They are the demon geniuses who will enter the Dream Paradise.

In the blink of an eye, the powerful demons had arrived in front of the Holy Temple Alliance.

The burly man leading the Black Dragon Guard said in a deep voice, "I am Huang Shuo, the commander of the Black Dragon Guard under the Demon God Emperor. Who among you can make this decision? Come out and answer."

Ling Xiao sneered: "Priest Temple Master Ling Xiao. What? Not even a single demon god came today, only some lackeys?"

Even if the enemy is powerful, as the leader of one of the six great temples of the Temple Alliance, how could he possibly lose face?
Huang Shuo said calmly, "It's pointless to argue. Let's get down to business as agreed."

Ling Xiao did not relax her guard because the other party did not respond; instead, she became more alert.

“Come with us,” he said, waving behind him.

Several massive blue figures then slowly emerged from the side, their heavy weight making their footsteps particularly muffled.

That was the level seven magical beast, Qingpeng. Its attack and defense were average, but it was known for its enormous size and was best at flying and carrying heavy objects.

Of the six great temples, only the Priest Temple tames this kind of magical beast—after all, priests are physically weak and need a suitable mount for long journeys.

Ten azure rocs lay prostrate on the ground, and Ling Xiao led the human powerhouses to climb onto their backs one by one.

The eagle spread its wings and flew straight north.

The Black Dragon Guards also transformed back into their original black dragon forms, carrying the powerful demons who followed closely behind, always maintaining a distance of about a thousand meters behind Qingpeng.

……

The Dream Temple is located in the forest 120 miles north of Zhennan Pass.

For Qingpeng and Heilong, this distance was nothing more than a blink of an eye.

In the distance, vast, dense primeval forests came into view.

From above, the vegetation in the forest exudes an ancient and vigorous feel; this primeval forest of this scale has thrived for at least several thousand years.

At Ling Xiao's signal, Qingpeng slowly landed on the outskirts of the forest.

Everyone disembarked from the Peng, and the demons also landed at the same time.

"Commander, it's them!"

Long Haochen lowered his voice and told Feng Yao.

“Yes, I know.” Feng Yao was not surprised.

Moonlit Night and Cold Bamboo.

They are the daughters of the Moon Demon God Agares and the Demon God Emperor Fengxiu, so it's perfectly normal for them to be here.

Huang Shuo stepped forward with two Moon Demon Kings and said in a deep voice, "Why don't we just fly in?"

Ling Xiao sneered: "This is the location of the Dream Temple, a place left behind by the Goddess of Nature, and the forest is protected by it. You think you can just fly in? You're not qualified. Only the Demon Emperor himself can do it."

Huang Shuo said no more: "Then let's go."

Each side led their own team deeper into the Dream Forest.

Upon entering the forest, the air suddenly changed.

It's not just a simple refreshing scent; its subtle, invigorating fragrance seems to cleanse the soul and bring an indescribable tranquility.

The chirping of insects and birds in the forest was exceptionally clear, and the water, earth, and light magical elements were so dense they were almost tangible. The moment Feng Yao stepped into the forest, he felt a sense of spiritual cleansing, as if he had returned to his origins.

The others had similar feelings, with Long Haochen feeling the strongest.

Compared to the comfort of the humans, the demons were in a much worse state.

Black demonic energy emanated from their bodies as they resisted the invasion of nature's energy, their brows furrowed.

If it weren't for Huang Shuo's restraint, he probably would have already started destroying the surrounding plants.

The vitality of nature and the deathly silence of darkness are inherently incompatible, like fire and water.

Huang Shuo looked at Ling Xiao and said in a deep voice, "Let's hurry up. My clansmen and I don't like this place. If we stay any longer, I can't guarantee that I can keep them in check."

Ling Xiao responded calmly, "Although we are mortal enemies, since we have reached a deal, I will not resort to tricks. I will just remind you again that this is the place where the Goddess of Nature once lived."

If you act rashly and damage the environment, incurring a backlash that prevents you from entering the temple, don't blame us for breaking our promise.

Huang Shuo frowned slightly, nodded, and said no more.

The paths within the Dream Forest are rugged, but they cannot deter these powerful individuals.

Before setting off, Ling Xiao had already instructed everyone: under no circumstances should the plants be damaged, otherwise the forest would become hostile to you.

The deeper you go, the stronger the scent of nature becomes.

If it were an ordinary demon, they would probably have already given up under the continuous strain, but since the accompanying group consisted of ninth-tier powerhouses, each with their own methods of dealing with the situation, things were relatively stable for the time being.

After traveling for more than an hour, the view suddenly opened up ahead.

The dense forest transformed into a vast thicket of bushes, and the moment the view opened up, even the usually gloomy demons couldn't help but utter a few words of praise.

It's so beautiful here.

The area, covering nearly 10,000 square meters, is covered with shrubs about one meter high.

At the top, flowers of various colors bloom in profusion, layer upon layer, like a sea of ​​flowers stretching to the horizon, so enchanting that it is breathtaking.

"..."

Feng Yao, however, showed no interest in this, his crimson-gold pupils fixed on the movements of the demons.

Ling Xiao suddenly raised his arm, and the entire group immediately stopped behind him.

A tranquil lake stretched out before them, its surface as smooth as a mirror, clearly reflecting the drifting clouds in the sky. Even the air seemed to freeze at that moment.

"We're here, this is it." Ling Xiao's voice rippled across the lake.

Feng Yao's gaze fell on the lake surface, his crimson-gold pupils slightly contracting.

He could sense a spatial fluctuation lurking deep within the lake, similar to that at the top of the Tower of Eternity, but gentler yet more immense.

That must be Dream Paradise.

Huang Shuo narrowed his eyes and looked around, his brows furrowing slightly: "Here? I didn't see the Dream Temple."

“The bottom of the lake.” Ling Xiao raised his hand and pointed to the calm surface of the lake.

"Hmm?" Huang Shuo said in a deep voice, "Do you mean we have to dive into the water?"

Ling Xiao scoffed dismissively: "Diving underwater can indeed lead to the Dream Temple, but you're welcome to try. The Dream Temple only opens once every hundred years. If it were as simple as diving, why would we have to wait a hundred years?"

"What's in that lake? A seal?" Huang Shuo's voice deepened, and a slight surge of demonic energy rose around him.

Ling Xiao suddenly stretched out his right hand, gently rubbing his index finger and thumb together, his eyes filled with amusement: "Why should I tell you?"

Huang Shuo's expression shifted between light and dark. He stared intently at Ling Xiao for a moment before finally taking something out of his pocket and placing it in Ling Xiao's palm.

"........."
