The path to immortality through demonic cultivation begins with devouring snakes to become immortals

Therefore, he and Gan An went to fight the donkey demon who ran the restaurant several times! Gan An was good at defense, and the pheasant was good at offense! The two demons were almost invincible in the third tier when they joined forces.

But that donkey was half a step into the fourth tier... and it was really fierce! It swung its hooves with incredible speed, and after a few hooves, it almost crushed Gan Anke.

That wasn't the end of it. The donkey wanted revenge, so it not only destroyed his and Gan An's cave, but also led its henchmen to chase them for more than a hundred miles!

"Little Chicken, didn't you say you met a clan-level prodigy in the Demon Selection Grounds? Find some help! Now that the Demon Selection is over, he should be in the territory of third-tier demons, right?"

Gan An clenched his fist: "Add one more, and we can definitely beat them!"

Upon hearing this, the pheasant gave a bitter smile: "Brother Xiaobai is a clan-level prodigy, would he stay in the Demon Forest?"

"I could sense the Demon King's aura within that beam of light. He must have been taken away by the Demon King. How could I let my actions jeopardize his future?"

The pheasant sighed.

I really miss Xiaobai.

"Besides, he hasn't even reached the peak of the third tier yet. That donkey is so fierce. Even if he were here, I can't let him risk his life for my trivial matter."

The pheasant's expression darkened as he thought of Li Xiaobai.

In the Demon Selection Grounds, Li Xiaobai didn't really do much.

But just that one moment! Li Xiaobai was willing to fight three clan-level prodigies for him, and he was truly impressed! Damn it, if my brother Xiaobai were here, that donkey, even if he had ten times the courage, would he dare to bully me like that?!

"well…"

Gan An patted the pheasant on the shoulder.

Yes, pheasants shouldn't lie, which means that snake is truly exceptionally talented, and... where did they go?

Choose a place for demons!

Demons from such places, if they catch the eye of the Demon King, have no chance of entering the Demon Forest.

The Demon Forest is good, but it's not as good as directly following the Demon King! What kind of being is the Demon King? He is the most powerful being on the entire Divine Evolution Continent.

Even if we include humans, there are only twelve such beings standing at the pinnacle.

But at that moment, two powerful auras suddenly descended.

It came from heaven!

"Damn it!!" Chicken jumped up angrily. "Are you never going to stop?! Do you really think I'm made of clay?!"

"Wait... something's not right. That bastard doesn't have any flying soldiers under his command." Gan An directly blocked the pheasant who was about to rush up and fight.

then…

Two tall, slender figures pushed open the door of the somewhat simple cave dwelling and walked in as if nothing had happened.

The restriction at the entrance wasn't triggered at all!

Two figures silhouetted against the light, their faces gradually becoming clear.

A man dressed in black robes, with a magnificent jade belt around his waist, long black hair tinged with purple, and a gentle yet slightly eerie smile on his handsome face, was happily watching the pheasant.

Another man, with white hair and white clothes, had heterochromatic eyes like two gems set in his handsome yet feminine face. Although he appeared aloof and unapproachable, his gaze trembled as he looked at Gan An.

Moreover! They were all at the peak of the third tier! They all carried a strong yet youthful and fresh aura! Demon race... proud and extraordinary beings!

Upon seeing the demon approaching, the pheasant let out a loud cry and pounced!

"Awooooo! Brother Xiaobai! I missed you so much!!!" A huge snot bubble exploded right on Li Xiaobai's new clothes...

Li Xiaobai shoved Shanji aside: "You son of a bitch! I thought you'd gotten too big for your britches and looked down on me since you didn't come looking for me, and this is it? You've become such a pathetic mess?!"

"How was I supposed to know you could come to the Demon Forest? How come someone like you wasn't chosen by the Demon King?"

The pheasant, its voice a mixture of tears and laughter, confirmed Li Xiaobai's cultivation level once more, and then shouted again: "Brother Xiaobai! A demon is bullying your little brother!!"

Li Xiaobai: "..."

He also noticed the old bastard Lang Yuezheng was talking about; he was indeed formidable! Yet, they were still forced into this situation; they'd truly encountered an insurmountable problem…

Meanwhile, on the other side, under Gan An's somewhat wary gaze...

Gong Baiwan straightened his clothes and bowed respectfully to Gan An: "Greetings, fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist... do you remember me?"

Gan An scrutinized Gong Baiwan for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "Hey? Baiwan! He's gotten so powerful now?!"

Soon, the four demons gathered together.

The pheasant kept complaining about its grievances.

Li Xiaobai was greatly shocked.

Your prospective Daoist partner! You didn't even get a single kiss! You went to the Demon Selection Land for only a few days and someone stole you away, and now you're living with them?

You come back and you still can't beat them?!

Li Xiaobai looked at Shanji with pity, feeling that the guy's hair had turned green.

"Yo yo~"

Suddenly, Li Xiaobai put one hand on Shanji's shoulder and made a cool gesture with the other.

"The celebratory wine is ready for you! But don't get too excited yet! Fight every battle well, and return to the Demon Forest to see your family and friends."

Shanji, Gong Baiwan, Gan An: "..."

What's wrong with this snake?

However… even though I couldn’t understand what he meant, I actually felt increasingly frustrated the more I listened! Damn it!

"You mean, half-step fourth rank?" Li Xiaobai stared intently at the pheasant.

"That's right, Brother Bai! But don't worry, you're here now, and you even brought Fellow Daoist Gong with you. The four of us will definitely take him down and snatch his Daoist partner back!" Shanji waved his fist, but before he could even swing it twice, a sharp rap landed right on his forehead.

"Rob your mother!"

Li Xiaobai, exasperated, said, "He's utterly hopeless! Can't we find someone better?!"

The pheasant grunted and puffed.

"Take me there, right now. I'll go and meet him. You guys just watch from the sidelines. He's taken over the entire restaurant."

"Damn it, they're bullying my brother?!"

Li Xiaobai stood up excitedly.

That's it! That's totally right!

Half-step to the fourth rank, isn't that half-step to the Nascent Soul stage? It perfectly matches his mission requirements.

Besides, this guy's a big boss, he must be rich! If I can take down that donkey, I can kill three birds with one stone! Not only can I help Chicken get revenge, but I can also fulfill two mission requirements!

That's amazing!

"noob!"

Gan An suddenly grabbed Li Xiaobai's hand: "No, that donkey is no joke."

"If you're going, it'll be safer if the four of us demons go together."

"Yeah, Brother Bai!" Chicken chimed in from the side, "It takes the four of us!"

Gong Baiwan remained silent.

Li Xiaobai sighed helplessly. A group beating and kicking would definitely be fun! But his mission required one-on-one combat! This couldn't go wrong.

Otherwise, it would take a long time to find someone with a certain level of confidence! Unless he breaks through to the fourth rank, but if he does break through to the fourth rank, he will definitely be taken to the territory of a fourth-rank demon by the ancestral rules of the demon forest.

The empire I just conquered is gone!

"Let me give it a try. If I can't do it, then you guys go. Don't ask questions, just say it's for experience."

Seeing that Gan An and Shan Ji were about to say something, Gong Baiwan suddenly spoke up.

"Let him try if he wants to. Don't worry. This guy is not only cunning, but he also definitely has the strength of a half-step fourth-tier, and even the ability to attack and kill a true fourth-tier."

Pheasant, Gan An: "!!!!"
